Hey! Here's my second DAYS fanfiction!

These will be oneshots, with no connection to one another (unless mentioned at the beginning of the chapter). I'll put a ship in the beginning of the oneshot if there will be one.

The ships will be:

Tsukamoto Tsukushi x Mizuki Hisahito

Kimishita Atsushi x Ooshiba Kiichi

Tsukamoto Tsukushi x Mizuki Hisahito x Indou Kaoru

I don't own DAYS, that belongs to Tsuyoshi Yasuda!

Oneshot #1 – A Helping Hand

Ship: Tsukamoto Tsukushi x Mizuki Hisahito

"Come on Tsukamoto! You got this!" Kurusu's hand guided the younger boy along, against his protests. Sure he had gone to the other boy for help, but this was too much. Tsukamoto's stomach was already clenching from nerves. Trying to get away proved futile, since Kurusu was stronger than him.

"Just go up to him and ask for a date. Guarantee that he'll say yes." Kurusu knew his plan was foolproof. After all, the Captain liked to do things straightforward and direct himself. So how could he say no to Tsukamoto doing it to him?

"No, I couldn't do that. Don't you see? I'm not that brave. I had a hard enough time telling you as it is!" Tsukamoto was holding his hands over his face. How he managed not to fall was a mystery.

Kurusu ran a hand through his brown spiky hair, while a huff of air escaped his mouth. Why did this boy have to be so difficult? Well, no matter. That's why Tsukamoto called in the big guns. Grinning, Kurusu mentally patted himself on the back. This plan was fullproof.

In no time, both boys turned the corner and went onto the soccer pitch. A ball flew straight up in the air. Mizuki looked up at it before using his leg to keep it dribbling. Seiseki's captain looked as strong as ever, which was a good thing since there was a match coming up next week. Mizuki spent as much time on training, as the first years did, if not more time.

"You know what? It looks like Captain is busy. We'd better not bother him… huh?" Realizing he wasn't being listened to, Tsukamoto looked for his friend. To his horror, he saw Kurusu jog over to their captain.

The ball stopped bouncing a Mizuki listened to what Kurusu had to say. He himself had never had much interaction with Kurusu, but he still respected all of his teammates equally. Giving all of his attention to him was the least Mizuki could do. He'd have to try to devote more attention to the first years soon.

"Captain Mizuki, Tsukamoto has something he wants to tell you." Kurusu's words had Mizuki ponder for a moment. Just what could the youngest member want to talk to him about? Ignoring the way Kurusu flashed a quick thumbs up to Tsukamoto, he gesture with his hand for the younger boy to come closer.

Tsukamoto did so, albeit reluctantly. He couldn't refuse his captain.

"Captain! Ah sorry that was loud. Um Captain Mizuki I wanted to tell you, that you are a great captain!" Tsukamoto stared into Mizuki's eyes, smiling nervously on the outside. Inside though, he was a bundle of nerves.

Kurusu slapped his palm to his forehead. Just what was his friend doing?

Mizuki felt glad to hear that. It made a lot of pride swell in his chest to think that others thought of him as a good captain. He tried his best every day, to instill strong values and things in his younger teammates.

Smiling, he tried to show his gratitude for the compliment. "Thank you Tsukamoto. That means a lot. Would you like to practice with me?" Mizuki hoped that by doing so it would calm the younger boy down. He seemed to be really nervous about something. And although Mizuki wasn't good with words, he thought that his offer would be able to help Tsukamoto's nerves.

Tsukamoto blurted out the first thought, "No." Eyes widening he realized what he just said. No, no, no! This was the opposite of what he wanted! He wanted to spend more time with Mizuki, not less. And he surely didn't want Mizuki to hate him. Oh, why did he have trouble thinking straight around this guy.

Mizuki frowned. Well this was disappointing. Here he was trying to be nice, only to be rejected. And b Tsukamoto no less, who he wanted to have a fun practice with.

Seeing Kurusu waving his arms out of the corner of his eye, Tsukamoto hastily tried to explain. "I-uhh! What I mean is…not now! Perhaps later? I wanted to tell you something."

"Oh right. I interrupted you huh? Go ahead."

Grasping the edge of his shorts, Tsukamoto looked at the ground. It was one thing to say it to Kurusu, but a whole other level trying to tell Mizuki!

"Oh for crying out loud! Tsukamoto, come on! You're the strongest person I know! Don't let your fear get in the way of your happiness!" Kurusu managed to get through Tsukamoto's anxiety, and shot him a smile when blue eyes looked at him.

Returning his gaze back to his crush, Tsukamoto decided it was now or never. He spoke with a passion to Mizuki, pouring his heart out. "I like you a lot. You're the most amazing person I've ever met. You have such passion for soccer, more than anyone I've ever known. I like your caring side too, how kind you are to our teammates. And I know I'm not good enough for you, but please? Will you go out with me? On a date?"

To say that Mizuki was shocked was an understatement. He was beyond baffled. The precious, sweet, klutzy, loveable Tsukamoto wanted him?

Mizuki was quiet for a while. His brain seemed stuck on a loop. Tsukamoto liked him. It was almost too much for poor Mizuki. So giving up on trying to come up with a verbal response, he turned to action instead. After all, it was one of his well-known qualities.

Tsukamoto was shaking. This was so nerve wracking. What was going to happen now? What would Mizuki say? Oh god, did he just ruin their–

Tsukamoto's thoughts were cut off when a pair of lips pressed against his. Frozen with shock, the young boy stood there wondering what in the world was going on. This didn't deter Mizuki, who kept pouring his feelings into the kiss. It only lasted a few seconds more, before the older broke it off.

Neither noticed Kurusu fall to the ground in shock, arms flapping wildly all the way. Holy crap! Mizuki just kissed Tsukamoto! Kurusu hadn't expected this at all. What a great outcome though!

Tsukamoto felt a range of emotions well up inside. Shock, surprise, confusion. But above all, happiness. It increased tenfold when he saw that Mizuki was smiling.

"Yes, I'll go out with you."
