Band aids ~TsukiHina~

~Tsukishima~

It's been a couple of days since Hinata last came over to mine and Lev's dorm. I can't stop thinking about what he said to me, even if it was by accident and I wasn't supposed to hear it. So he really does still like me, huh? I had a strong feeling he did, he's not one for keeping things like that a secret, but hearing him actually say it is a whole other ball game. My heart hasn't stopped throbbing for the last two days and I have a funny feeling it's not going to stop so that's fun for me. I sigh, flopping onto my back and looking up at the ceiling. I've done nothing but lie on my bed today. I really can't be bothered getting up; I'm using up all my energy on doing some serious thinking about what to do now. He likes me and I like him. The logical thing to do would be to ask him on a date however there is the issue of what he did in high school. As much as I've liked to pretend that it doesn't matter anymore, he still emotionally manipulated me. I'm not a masochist and I don't want to go through that pain again, thank you very much.

Still, it doesn't change the fact that it's so convenient that we both like each other still, after all this time. One date can't hurt, right? It's just one day in my life, there's a limit to what wrongdoings can happen in just one day. It should be fine to ask him on one date and we've kind of had romantic moments before now... well, my bar for 'romantic moments' is pretty low. I doubt he considered them that way. To be honest, I didn't consider them romantic moments until, like, right now either so I wouldn't blame him if he didn't.

Lev comes bursting into the room, completely de-railing my train of thought. "Tsukki! Did you miss me?"

Rolling my eyes, I sit up, leaning back against the headboard. "No, believe it or not, I didn't. You were gone for literally half an hour to get food." Yeah, he literally fucked off to go down to the cafeteria. He said he was meeting Shibayama there for lunch which makes me wonder why he's back this early. You would think that he'd stay down there with him for a little longer. "Why are you back this early anyway? Get bored of hanging out with Shibayama?"

He shakes his head. "Nah, he just had to go. He remembered some coursework he hadn't completed. So you're stuck with me for today." Well that's fun. There's nothing I'd rather do then spend a whole day in the company of annoying piece of shit Lev. He sighs. "Listen, if I'm really that much of a bother you might as well know that I'm going home over the weekend to visit Yaku." Well, I guess he noticed my irritated look for better or for worse.

I raise my eyebrows. "You two are still together huh? I'm surprised he hasn't got fed up with you yet." That was a joke, obviously. I'm pretty sure he knows I'm joking but if it genuinely upset him, I'll apologise.

"Haha very funny." He rolls his eyes. Yeah, he took it as a sarcastic comment. That's good. "Yes, we are still together. How are you and Hinata doing?"

"That was a low blow." I furrow my brow.

He chuckles. "Well, those who live in a glass house shouldn't throw stones. How did your little study date go, by the way?"

"It wasn't a date-" I cut myself off and sigh. I wish it was a date but that's because I am a simp for the guy who emotionally manipulated me during our short relationship in high school. "It went ok..." I might as well tell him what happened, he is my roommate and it's good to have someone to confide in, even if they are really fucking annoying. "He told me he still likes me and I still like him but it's complicated because... well, you know what happened in high school. I feel like I should, like, ask him on a date or something but I don't know if I can trust him or not."

"Ooh scandalous!" He's smirking now. Don't just smirk about this! It's not a laughing matter, thank you very much, it's very serious! "I think you should go for it. Just start with one date and see how it goes. And I know I didn't know you guys that well in high school, being from Tokyo and all, but I genuinely think he's changed."

I look down at my hands, tugging at my fingers as I think. "I guess you're right..." As I said before, one date won't hurt and we can see what happens after that.

"I'm always right. So you should arrange something with your man-"

"He's not my man."

"Not yet." He winks. Ew. "Anyway, invite him over while I'm visiting Yaku. It'll be fun."

I smile, just a little. "That sounds nice actually... thanks for hearing me out." I don't usually thank Lev for things in a non-sarcastic way but I think he deserves a thanks this time.

"Anytime dude."
