What We Do [Ushijima Wakatoshi Fanfiction]

Chapter 6: Lost

The last bell rang indicating that school was over. I stretched my back and began fixing my things. I yawned a bit, feeling the strain of the difficulty of the subject I hate the most: Mathematics. "Why does it have to be the last subject of the day," I grumbled to myself.

When all my things were fixed in my bag, I noticed Ushijima-kun looming over my table. I turn towards his direction, gazing at his olive-green eyes "Yes?" I asked.

"Do you want to go the gymnasium together?" He asked nonchalantly. Surprised by his question, I waved a hand in front of him, "Your area is different from mine Ushijima-kun. I can manage." He nodded, took his things, and left. I sighed, instantly regretting my decision.

Maybe Aomine can point where my area is. He's better at directions and remembering places than me.

I left the classroom and waited by the door of the class adjacent mine. They're finishing rather late, I thought to myself as I check the time on my phone. It's 3:55 already? Aomine's training begins in 5 minutes! I peered inside the classroom and I see my sleeping friend in the corner of the room looking rather drained. He probably slept the whole day again.

The teacher dismissed the class and I noticed that Aomine was still asleep. I rushed to his corner and gently shook him. He groggily opened his eyes and scratched them. When he noticed me, his eyes widened and pretended to sleep again.

"Aomine-kun" I gently said while shaking his shoulders. He looked up at with innocent doe eyes making me sort of regret what I was about to do. "You're gonna be late for training, Idiot!" I said hitting his side using my hand with all my might. "Ouch! That hurts Harumi" He said trying to comfort his side and 'cried'. "What time is it anyway?" He yawned while fixing his things. I smiled and showed the time with my phone. "3:59, Idiot." All of a sudden, he stood up and tried to hurriedly fix his things. "Why didn't you tell me sooner! I'm gonna be late" He said and rushed out of the classroom.

I chuckled to myself and started walking out of the classroom as well. I looked for him in the hallway but I didn't see him. That idiot left me! I tried looking for familiar faces but I couldn't find any of my teammates. I sighed to myself and headed to the stairs finding the exit.

Maybe I can find the gym on my own. The campus can't really be that big.

I was wrong. I was definitely wrong.

I looked around and I could tell I'm nowhere near the Hor-whatever gym. It's already 4:35 and I still couldn't find the gym! I can't believe the campus is this big. I peered towards the gate and sighed. Maybe Rin or Kyo can pick me up. Although, I would receive an endless amount of teasing once they realized I got lost yet again.

I took my phone out and started looking at my contacts, hesitating if I should try finding the gym once more.

"Kazuko," looking up from my phone, I saw Ushijima-kun jogging towards me. My eyes widened as I observed the tall male. He was still sweaty from what he was previously doing and he was trying to calm his breathing. "Hello, Ushijima-kun," I smiled at him, hoping he won't notice that I am lost.

After his breathing subsided, he drank his water bottle. When he was done, he looked at me and where we were standing. "You're lost." He said in a matter of fact tone.

I almost felt a vein pop in my forehead. I chuckled and scratched the back of my head, "Is it that obvious?" He nodded and looked at the time on his phone. "Do you want me to bring you to your gym?" He said looking down at me.

"I think I'll call Rin or Kyo to pick me up. I don't think I remember what gym we're assigned." I said looking around. "I transferred last year and I still get lost in this huge campus." I sighed.

"Hisoka Gymnasium," He said looking at me. "Excuse me?" I asked peering at his olive-green eyes. "Your friend this morning mentioned where," He said rather monotonously. "Come, I'll bring you there." He said and walks ahead of me. I followed, "Are you sure, Ushijima-kun? I really don't want to be a bother," I said worry laced in my voice.

Ushijima-kun stopped in his tracks and looked at me with a slight frown etched in his face. "What?" I asked looking up at him.

"Isn't this what friends do?" He asked in a very confused expression. I smiled and couldn't help but laugh at how cute this all seemed. "I guess so. Well, lead the way, Ushijima-kun."

We started walking and I couldn't help but appreciate the peace of the campus. Most of the students have either left or are at one of the many gyms training. Shiratorizawa was known for its high standards in both education and training.

"What were you doing before finding a very lost Harumi, Ushijima-kun? I asked entwining my hands behind my back as we continued walking. "Jogging" I nodded.

Maybe I should do something while I wait for training to start; I do have an hour break. I hummed in response, "Do you want to join me? He asked surprising me. I peered towards his direction and started thinking.

Maybe it will be fun and I could use the extra time to train. I was about to answer when he cuts me off, "If you can keep up that is." He looked at me with a small smirk forming. I felt another vein pop in my forehead and accepted the challenge. "You're on Ushijima-kun," I said with determination. I'm not going to lose to this giant man.

When we arrived at Hisoka Gym I looked at the other gym beside us and noticed the men's volleyball team training. "Oh, you're just next door," He nodded in response. "Maybe I can watch you practice some time," I smiled at him. He stares at me and I cough, "Well, thank you for helping me Ushijima-kun." I said waving my hand as we both started parting ways.

He nodded and starts walking towards the other gym. "Oh, Ushijima-kun!" I yelled and he turns back to me. I smiled, "It's Harumi, not Kazuko." I saw his eyes widening, he smiled at me and then nodded.

I then turned around and fixed my hair, ready to face the gruesome training I'm about to face. "Here we go," I said entering the gym.
