Sweet Tooth [Ushijima x Reader]

37

I looked at him. He stood there furiously. Behind him were Iwa, Hinata, Hoshiumi and Bailey.

All the boys looked furious. I saw certain confusion in 4 of them as Ushijima spoke about how I am with him.

"Oh, my bad. Didn't know she was your girl..." Sylas spoke. Ushijima's eyes became angrier. I thought he was about to throw his hands, but Iwa had his hands on Ushijima's shoulder.

"Hey, you...." Kyla got up. She looked pissed. I was a bit shock at everything that was happening.

"Does not matter whose girl she is. Ushijima is right. We don't need to be with any man to say no to your requests." Kyla continued. She was almost yelling.

"Wow, jeez. Calm down, woman! I told you, Thain, I knew we should have asked the local ladies here. But for a foreigner, you seem quite kind y/n," Sylas spoke, ignoring Kyla. Sylas poked my cheek with his finger. It irked me. He was so disrespectful.

"What does it suppose to mean..." I hear a female voice behind me.

"Shimuza SAN!" Hinata exclaimed.

"Hello, everyone." She raised her hand to greet. She was stoic as Ushijima, but she put on a great smile later.

"It's Mrs Tanaka now, Hinata", Kiyoko spoke. I saw her employee badge. It said "Chief Manager". Manager in this big 5-star hotel? Damn okay!

Hinata made a face that he realised he made a mistake out of habit. Kiyoko was super pretty. She looked mesmerising. Even the Zeldian boys were a little intimidated by her. I assumed she married a man named Tanaka.

"Are these boys troubling you, Ms Y/n" She came forward and asked me.

I tried to answer, but Kyla jumped forward "yes ...yes, they are.." She glared at the Zeldian boys.

Kiyoko now stood in front of me.

"Apologise!" She folded her arms at Sylas. Sylas smirked; he looked pissed and wasn't feeling guilty at all.

"Trust me, and you don't want to give them attention.." I whispered against Kiyoko's ears.

"hmm..." She hummed.

"Apologise, and I will not complain to the chief operations officer about your behaviour. I assume you understand the repercussions you may face if any form of bullying is found during the Olympics against any national team. The hotel won't tolerate," Kiyoko revealed.

"But she isn't part of the national team..." Thain spoke, defending Sylas.

"She is..." Iwa spoke, furrowing his eyes.

"They all are", Hoishiumi continued.

Hinata threw our official team jackets. I saw my name with "Dietician Specialist". I almost lost myself admiring the jacket. I felt super included. However, Kiyoko's voice broke me out from the daydream.

"Since the doubts are cleared. I also want to say Your local ladies comment will land you in more trouble as I already found it offensive...Mister....Sylas," Kiyoko paused as she searched for his name in his jersey. It was quite a situation as Kiyoko didn't know who he was. Sylas felt disrespected.

"So...Apologise...NOW!" Kiyoko spoke firmly. She outshined all the boys. I'll admit, if I hadn't met Ushijima, she would have been the one.

Sylas rolled his eyes, and murmured "Sorry."

I give an unsure nod. Kyla looked like she needed more than an apology. It seemed even if they begged on their knees, she wouldn't have forgiven them.

As we all say Mr Utsui and Mr Zenon walking in from afar, Sylas and others rolled their eyes and frustratingly walked off.

"Tell me if they annoy you again. We have strict no-bullying and no harassment policies in this hotel." Kiyoko turned towards us.

"Thank you so much, Tanaka-san.." I smile.

"Anytime. You can call me Kiyoko. Since you shall be seeing me, husband, sometime soon. He is good friends with the boys." She smiled.

I nodded and smiled widely. "Yes, Kiyoko!" I cheered.

She turned towards the boys.

"I'll see you at dinner today, okay. Gotta head to work. Hinata, you better don't be late. And tell your boyfriend as well..." Kiyoko spoke.

"He is not...My...BOYFRIEND..." Hinata grunted. Kiyoko laughed and left, greeting all of us bye.

"yet..." Iwa smirked. I assumed they talked about Kageyama. The boys laughed while Kyla and Tiph gathered around boys for more information.

As everyone gathered and went back to normal activity. I saw Ushijima eyeing me. He looked little discomfort.

My heart didn't feel much but sadness seeing him like that. He looked isolated inside that crowd. Was he watching over me? No matter where I looked, I knew his glare surrounded my aura. I couldn't escape.

Later I see him going beside the lobby's window, away from everyone and slouch a little. He had his arms folded, just looking down.

I walked ahead. I heard Iwa say, "It's not a good idea to approach him right now..." He warned me.

I nodded, "I got this..." I softly replied to Iwa before walking towards Ushijima.

I went beside him. I took his wrist and led him to the hotel's roof-top garden. I wanted to talk to him in private without noise.

His eyes shot up. He wasn't expecting me to do something so bold. But I did. I definitely didn't break out of my shell. Nonetheless, I didn't want to see him in discomfort.

We reach near the roof-top. I took a deep breath. He watched me as I closed my eyes and slouched near the roof railing. I softly turn and look at him as he stood similarly. His gaze shifted as I looked at him.

"Look at me," I told him.

He struggled at my instruction, but he hesitantly did look at me.

"What's wrong?" I ask.

"Experienced a new feeling today." He informed me. His stoic face had undertones of discomfort and frustration. As if he failed to analyse something.

"Is it angry? Because I know you have been angry before and did very well to rationalising the feeling." I asked.

He shook his head.

"Then?"

"I think it's called Jealousy..." He explained. My heart skipped a beat.

"You have never been jealous before?" I asked him.

"I did. This one is a different kind. I feel territorial about it.." He explained softly. His voice grew deeper as he spoke.

"Territorial about what?" I asked him.

"About you." He revealed, softly embracing my cheek with his palm.

And I forgot to breathe.
