𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝟲 : 14th February.
For the past two days, Yamaguchi didn't receive any note or chocolate. He couldn't find (last name) either. He wanted to ask Kageyama about his whereabouts, but he couldn't find the courage to. No, not because he felt awkward or anything, but because Kageyama has been glaring at him. The ravenette probably knew what happened to (last name) and decided to glare at Yamaguchi.
Thankfully, Tsukishima stepped in to help the olive haired boy, asking where (last name) was. Kageyama went feral that day, saying- screaming that (last name)'s condition does not concern the two. It was pretty confusing for the third and second years who witnessed the scene while some of them tried to calm Kageyama down.
Yamaguchi sighed as the memory from yesterday came back to him, he didn't receive anything that morning too, and maybe.. (last name) gave up on him. Without him explaining what exactly was he gonna say that day.
"Oi, I'm gonna leave you if you don't hurry." Tsukishima's annoyed voice brought him back to reality. He quickly apologized and opened his locker. He gasped as a box and a letter was placed on top of it.
Tsukishima frowned at his friend's tardiness, "Oi." He called out again, getting annoyed. Yamaguchi would usually come to him, but this time around, he stayed still like a statue. "Y-you can go on ahead, Tsukki!" He squeaked.
The blonde raised his brows and walked up Yamaguchi, his curiosity was answered as he saw the items on Yamaguchi's locker. He sighed and walked ahead without uttering any more words.
When Tsukishima finally left, Yamaguchi brought a shaky hand to the letter, taking it nervously. What was written inside? Would it be heartwarming? Or would it be heartbreaking instead?
Slowly opening the envelope, he took out the paper inside and read the messy handwritten letter. He could feel his heart beating fast against his chest with every word. He chuckled at the yahoo answer part, but it quickly dropped when he read the next paragraph.
Yamaguchi felt threatened by the story of (last name) beating up his crush, but at the same time, he just wanted to embrace (last name), saying that his feelings weren't wrong. There was no need for the (hair color) haired boy to apologize for liking someone.
The olive haired male read the last sentence and blinked. It was valentine's day. No wonder Tsukishima got a chocolate out of nowhere. Even his girls classmates were giving out chocolate to the boys, including him.
He looked over to the box and took it, it wasn't small but it wasn't exactly big either. It was the size of his palm. The box was plain light blue in color with a white ribbon on top. He opened it and inside were various chocolates. There were two heart shaped white chocolate, two circular dark chocolate, and two star shaped milk chocolate.
They looked like homemade chocolate, especially with the messy decorations on them which were smiley faces using a pink colored chocolate. It looked bad and not very romantic for a valentine chocolate, but the effort was what matters.
Yamaguchi closed the box, then ran to the front gate, hoping he would catch a glimpse of (hair color) mob. He looked around, and sure enough, there was a car that (last name) usually rides home. That only meant that (last name) was still somewhere inside the school. He turned on his heels, determined to find the boy.
As he was running to the hallways of the first years' classrooms, his phone vibrated. He looked at it and Tsukishima sent him a text. He sighed, knowing he needed to go back to practice. But when he saw the text, he immediately ran up to the rooftop.
From: Tsukki
(last name) is in the rooftop
The dumb king accidentally said it to me, lmfao
The moment he slammed the rooftop door open, he was immediately greeted by a familiar (hair color) haired boy, his back facing him. The boy slowly turned around and was surprised to see Yamaguchi.
Yamaguchi saw a two paper bags on either side of the boy, and he was also holding a box, bigger than the blue box Yamaguchi received.
"Um, I- that day, I think you misunderstood something!" Yamaguchi said, looking down to the box and letter in his hands. "I'm not disgusted." He added, frowning as he remembered the things (last name) said in his letter.
"I- but I'm still sorry. I came to a conclusion that as a basketball player, I can't have you, a volleyball player." (last name) said, his voice sounded sad... but his words was pretty dumb.
Yamaguchi was dumbfounded. He stared at the male quizzically. "What do you mean..?" He slowly asked, not understanding the statement. "I don't know either, yahoo answer said so," was the answer he received.
Still dumbfounded, Yamaguchi stayed silent before laughing at (last name), who turned a bit red from hearing the angelic laugh. He finally stopped laughing and just smiling there, like an idiot.
"So.. what are you doing here?"
Yamaguchi looked at (last name) who plopped a chocolate into his mouth. He smiled softly, "I came here to say that.. your feelings aren't wrong. You're not wrong for liking someone, and I- I don't mind being the person you like.." Yamaguchi said, stumbling over his words at the end.
"Really?"
Yamaguchi nodded his head, looking at the other who seemed to be deep in thought. "Then, would it be okay for you to be my boyfriend?"
"Ye- what?"
(last name) smiled cheekily and put down the box he was holding then walk up to Yamaguchi. He held Yamaguchi's free hand in his. From this close distance, Yamaguchi could see why people fawn over (last name).
"Will you be my valentine?"
It fascinate (last name) how he could see Yamaguchi's face turned red slowly in such a close distance. He took the other's hand up and planted a soft kiss on his knuckles, "I'll wait for your answer." He said, letting go of Yamaguchi's hand.
"I have to g-"
"I will!"
The two stared at each other, (last name) holding a surprised look while the other flustered. "I will be your boyfriend.." He added, quieter this time.
(last name) smiled softly, wrapping his arms around the volleyball player. "Thank you, I love you." He whispered, which only made Yamaguchi feel more flustered.
"I have to go now.. I'll drop you off to the gym!" (last name) chirped, running to get his two paper bags and box. Yamaguchi eyed the things on (last name)'s arms and asked, "What are those? Chocolates..?" He was nervous. (last name) was popular, of course he would receive dozens of chocolate.
(last name) nodded his head as they walk downstairs, heading to the first floor. "They're failed chocolate.. I'm really bad at cooking and I manage to fail making a chocolate for- for you. It happened a lot and now I have these." He explained, looking away from his, now, boyfriend.
"Did you make them in school or something?" Yamaguchi chuckled, which the other answered with a nod. "Yahoo answer said it's a bad omen to make chocolates at home when you can't cook, so I brought the ingredients to school.." He answered.
Yamaguchi couldn't believe he's dating such a dork.
"Can I have them?"
(last name) choked, shaking his head. "No! They're failures, I'll eat them myself. Or give them to Tobio!"
"It's okay.. if it's from you, I'd be happy to."
"You're being greedy," (last name) stated. And it would make Yamaguchi overthink things, but he smiled and shoved the items into Yamaguchi's hands. "Please be greedy of me." He said, smiling to the boy.
"Ah, I really should go home. It's already this late," (last name) mumbled to himself. He turned to Yamaguchi one last time and pulled him closer to give a small peck on the freckled boy's cheek.
"Happy valentine's day, Tadashi." He whispered and ran off to the front gate, leaving a stunned Yamaguchi standing by the gym door with a red face and lots of chocolates in his arms.

Tsukishima smirked as he watched everything through the small window, being tall sure does have many advantages. Kageyama was watching too. For once, he was glad he slipped up.
"See, I told you they would be fine, King."
"Shut up, you-!"
