Only for you || A Ushijima Wakatoshi Ff

•chapter eight•

Maiko's pov

I walked into class lazily and sat on my seat.

"Hey Kobayashi! Are you feeling better?" My classmates asked me.

"Oh yeah. I'm much better. News gets spread really fast huh?"

"Well, if you see Ushijima-kun running across the school with a girl on his back then, of course,"

Oh my god

"Maiko!" I saw Eita at the door. He rushed to my place. He patted my head and asked, "You definitely look much better now. I swear to god if I see you anywhere close to a volleyball ball, I will make sure that ball hits your head!"

"Okay, mom," I teased him. He pinched my nose and laughed. "I swear you'll be a good mom,"

"Would you me a mother with me?" He smirked. Shocked and a little flustered I hit his hand, "Go and sit at your place first then be a mom okay?"

"Oh so you would be a mom with me huh?" He raised his eyebrows up and down.

"No, I won't!"

....

Being the stubborn bitch I am, I sneaked a volleyball ball and head to the back of the school building just to practice my recieves against the wall.

"I see you have decided to disobey your mother."

I swear I jumped like 4 feet into the air. It was Eita-kun.

"It's just receives, come on!" He came closer and tried to snatch the ball from me. I hid it behind my back. He tried to catch it, but our faces got too close to each other. Noses almost touching. He moved away, shy.

"What are you doing here though?" I asked him.

"I just wanted to read a damn book. But Goshiki wants me to toss for him, I wasn't feeling it. So I came here. Now hand that ball over to me." 

"Oh pleasee! Its just receives! Please? Pretty please? I'll stop the minute you tell me to. Hmm? Please?" I pouted at him.

"Ugh...be thankful you look so cute. I'll practice with you." He took of his blazer and rolled up the sleeves of his uniform. That's when I realised. His hands. They're.... pretty....hot...with veins popping oh god.

"Maiko-chan! We don't have all day!"

"Oh..uh yeah," I threw the ball at him. We kept passing the ball to each other and the rally was pretty long. The bell rang interrupting us.

"Okay, we have to go. But that's it for today. Got it? If you want to go to the nationals you have to take rest too."

"Okay, thanks though."

"That's an odd thing to hear from you. thank you for what, exactly?"

"You know taking care of me."

"Hey," he patted my hair. Hmm I like it when he does that. I feel protected. "I'm your friend. It's only natural if I do so. Now let's go."

When we reached the corridor of our floor. We ran into Wakatoshi. The moment I saw him, the question popped in my head.

"If he asks you out, will you date him?"

I was so lost in thought I didn't realise he was calling my name.

"Maiko!" He raised his voice which caught my attention.

"Huh? What? Im so sorry! What were you saying,"

He let out a single chuckle amd said, "I asked if you are okay, you're sweating."

"Oh am I? Uh...I... don't know-"

"Hey!" I felt his hands on my shoulders. I looked at them.

Oh dang their pretty muscular huh

What IS IT WITH ME AND HANDS TODAY??

"It's okay! Calm down a little. I wanna see you in the nationals with me. So rest up and get back to practice. Take care of yourself."

"You don't have to worry, Ushijima-kun. I'm there with her." Eita said with his eyebrows furrowed.

What is that supposed to mean?

"I know I can count on you, Semi. See you later."
