"Well you better start explaining Princess!"
You turn around as see Tsukishima walking closer to you.
"Well?!" He stopped right in front of you and looked down.
"Why are you here?" You ask standing your ground. It was hard because of how close he was to you.
He scoffed and back up. "Really?! That's what you say?!" He rolled his eyes and put his hands on his hips. "Not only did you disappear for over 3 HOURS, but you also gave your sister a heart attach because you wouldn't answer your damn phone!" He was obviously mad.
"My phone died dipshit!" You yelled back showing him your phone. "It's not like I was ignoring her!!" You sneered out. You could feel your face getting warm. "Its not like this is your problem! Why do you care anyways?!"
"BECAUSE SHE CAME TO ME CRYING WORRIED ABOUT YOU! AND I FELT RESPONSIBLE FOR IT! I FELT LIKE YOU RAN OFF BECAUSE OF ME!" He yelled.
You could feel the pain in his voice, the way it cracked under tension. Your face softened a bit, but you couldn't help but still be a little angry.
"Well..." Your sister said while tip toeing to her room. "I'ma just go in here while you guys figure things out. So um, yeah." And with that she shut the door.
You rolled your eyes and brought your attention back to Tsukishima. He was glaring at the ground. You notice the bags under his eyes and wonder if he's been sleeping well.
"You don't need to worry about me Tsukishima." You said as you walked past him and to the kitchen. "I'm fine." You grabbed the instant ramen from the cabinet.
"Stop it Y/n" Tsukishima said as you put the ramen in the bowl and filled it with hot water.
You sigh, "I'm fine Tsukishima! I'm a big girl who can handle things on her own! I am doing fine just as I am!" You put it in the microwave and just as you were about to press start you felt him grab your shoulders and twist you around. "Tsuk-"
"Stop talking!" He interrupted you. He was closer than ever before. Noses almost touching, eyes gazing into each other's. You could feel his breath on your skin. You felt you face grow warm but you did not pull away. "Why are you lying?" He asked.
You swallow hard and try to respond but he just kept talking. "To yourself, to your sister, to your friends, and to me. Why?"
"Why? Why..." You felt warm tears build up in your eyes while your chest aches. "I-i don't know..." You let everything go. Tears, stress, worries, memories from the past, and the present. Everything you have been pushing down finally got let out. "I-i don't know Tsukishima. I d-don't know."
"Shs, it's alright." He said as he brought you in for a warm embrace. You gripped the back of his shirt. He patted your head as you cried into his shoulder.
After a while he pulled away and wiped your tears. "Now, let's go sit down and talk." He said as he guided you to the couch.
You sat down and he did the same. You gazed up at him and noticed that he had taken his glasses off to clean them.
"I am sorry Y/n" he said as he put them back on. "I was being irrational and shouldn't have made that deal with the Grand King." He brought his hands together and fidgeted with them.
"Why did you make a deal with him?" You ask. You've thought about this question for days. You couldn't get it out if your head.
"Honestly," he said looking at you, "I don't really know why myself." He was genuinely confused. He also had thought about it for days and could only come up with one thing...
"Well, ok" It wasn't the answer you were hoping for. "When you figure out why, please tell me." You said bringing your pinky up. "Pinky promise?"
He looked at your hand then back up at you. "What are we? 8?" He smirked as you continued to hold up your hand, dead serious.
He sighed, "Whatever," he wrapped his pinky around yours and shook it. "I promise. There are you happy?"
You smiled and continued to shake his hand. "Yes, yes I am."
He tried to let go but you gripped it tighter. "What are you doing Princess?" He said but didn't try to let go this time.
You chucked, looked at his hand, and gasped. "I never realized how big your hands were Tsukki!" You said as you let go and grabbed his hand with your other one. "It's like two times bigger than mine! See!" You put your hands together and smile.
You looked over to him and saw his other hand covering his face. "W-we're off topic." He said as you pulled away.
"Ah, my bad." You said looking away realizing what you just did. "I-i apologize for being out for so long. I didn't intend to."
He looked back at you with raised eyebrows. "You didn't intend to? What happened?"
"Well," you rubbed the back of your neck. "I guess I'll start from the beginning." You sighed. "Obviously I've had a rough week. And today I came home and walked in on my sister on the phone with my mom saying that she won't visit for other 3 months." You looked down. "So I ran out and accidentally ran into my old friend."
Surprisingly he stayed quite for the remainder of the story. "and that's about it." You glanced at him and saw him rubbing his temple.
"I know, I know." You said waving your arms. "I shouldn't have gone with him if felt uncomfortable and him keeping me in that room for that long is weird."
He looked at you with a smirk, "Glad I didn't have to say it Princess." You laughed. "But really," you saw his face turn serious. "What did you say his name was?"
"Uh, Takahashi." You said as he nodded his head.
"Ok,"
"Ok...don't do anything stupid."
He glared at you. "All I have is a name dumbass! What am I going to do? Look him up in a phone book?!" He clicked his tongue.
You cross your arms, "I don't know. Maybe"
He rolled his eyes, "Just tell me if he shows up again. I don't trust him." You nod of your head. "Good, well it is getting pretty late."
You looked at the clock and it read 9:35. You turn back to Tsukki and sneered, "You're such an old man." You get up and he follows you.
"Shut up Princess. Smart people need to sleep." He side glanced at you and clicked his tongue.
You walked him to the door, "Is that why you have bags under your eyes?" He stopped and glared down at you.
"No," he turned away and walked out the door. "I was worried. Let's go get dinner tomorrow? Ok?"
"Only if you're paying!" You joked.
He chuckled, "Was planning to. See you tomorrow, Goodnight Princess."
"Bye Tsukki-poo!!" You waved as he walked down your street shaking his head. You closed the door and immediately as you turned around your sister was in your face.
"YOU GUYS ARE DOING DINNER?!" She yelled.
You covered your ears as she jumped around you. "Yes? What's the big deal?" You said sitting back on the couch.
"Y/n!! Are you serious?! He said he was going to pay! You know what that means?!" She jumped on the couch next to you.
You raised your eyebrows, "uh free food?"
She hit your head, "No! It's a date!!"
"A DATE?!"
