"Ugh! Why does it feel like I'm not compatible with anyone? Is there something wrong with me Ushiwaka?" You whined and complained to the ace of Shiratorizawa as the two of you walked home together.

Ushijima had just finished a volleyball practice that you sat through while finishing school work. He was probably exhausted but he still listened to you rant about your struggles with relationships. Sometimes he would even offer advice and even though it wasn't that helpful most of the time you still appreciated the thought.

"I think I have a solution to your problem, Y/N." Ushijima said after you had finished venting. You looked up at him with curiosity but not much hope. The last time Ushijima offered a solution he suggested that you should analyze a volleyball match. He said it would help with bonding which could work with a team but probably not a romantic relationship.

"Oh? What would this solution happen to be?" You asked, deciding to humour him.

"Go on a blind date. I already have someone in mind for you." he stated nonchalantly. You one the other hand, were shocked. You nearly tripped and stumbled forward before Ushijima grabbed you by the back of your collar and pulled you up.

"Thanks, and since when did you play matchmaker, Mr. Super Ace?" You teased while playfully nudging his arm with your shoulder. You were almost a foot shorter than him so it was a bit of a challenge to do but you managed.

"I don't know what you're talking about," he replied. You sighed and continued your regular routine of walking home in a comfortable silence with the occasional comment on school and passing scenery.

You walked up to your house and stopped to turn around and wave goodbye to Ushijima.

"See ya on Monday Ushijima! Thanks for walking me home again!" you called out as you waved back at your friend. He raised his hand in response and nodded his head once.

"The blind date is at 1pm tomorrow and will be at that cafe we visited last week. Try to be on time, Y/N." he stated before walking away. You stood still with your jaw hanging open, surprised that Ushijima was actually serious.

Timeskip

You sat at a table in the cafe by yourself as you waited for your blind date to show up. You had dressed up nicely in a white blouse and navy blue skirt that hung just above your knees. Your hair was pinned back and on your feet were comfortable sneakers making you look cute but still casual.

You fidgeted in your seat and tugged on the hem of your skirt nervously while a million thoughts ran through your mind.

What if they don't show up? What if they don't like me? What if they think I eat or drink weirdly? Was this cafe a good choice even? Did Ushijima even set this up right? What if this person was a total-

Your thoughts were interrupted as your blind date sat in front of you. You looked up and opened your mouth to introduce yourself but no words came out. The person sitting in front of you was none other than Wakatoshi Ushijima himself?!

"Good afternoon, Y/N. Did you already order something to eat or drink?" he asked politely while picking up the small menu and looking through it.

"E-eh?! Ushi-Ushijima?! What are you doing here? Where's the blind date? Could they not make it?" you asked while panicking and looking around the cafe. Maybe this was just a prank and the real blind date would jump out at any moment.

Ushijima looked at you strangely after putting down the menu.

"What are you talking about? I'm sitting right here in front of you, Y/N." He replied as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. It quickly dawned on you what was actually happening right now. You quickly hid your face in your hands while thinking about how much of an idiot you were and to hide the blush that was growing on your face.

"A-are you the blind date, Ushijima?" you asked hesitantly while slowly peeking out from behind your hands. Your voice was shaking, what if this really was just a prank but it was Ushijima pulling your leg?

"Of course I am. I thought that was obvious but it seems like I'll have to make this even more clearer." He sighed while leaning closer to you from across the table. He gently grabbed your hands and pulled them away from your face. His face was mere inches away from yours, his hands engulfed your smaller ones and his eyes locked onto yours.

"I like you, Y/N."
