Tsukishima hated when his older brother was right, especially when it was at things that he tried to avoid like having a crush. As soon as he was admitted into Karasuno High school, Akiteru started bothering him about his 'baby brother' growing right in front of his eyes and that sooner or later he would bring a beautiful and with huge patience girl, home so his family would make him feel embarrassed by showing her his baby photos. That's how Akiteru explained one day he finally got time from studying and visited his family.

The blond was in that stage of his life, but it was not a girl who he has a crush on...it's a boy. A freckled, adorable, sometimes insecure teenager who he has been his best friend for years. He couldn't accept it! It was not a 'crush', maybe some sort of confusion, Tadashi was like a brother and should stay like that. No matter how cute he looked when he tried his best at not being clumsy.

THIS…HAS…TO…STOP

Tsukishima Kei can't have a crush; those things are for idiotic people who think that their high school life would be like a shojo manga, though that didn't sound bad at all. He was beginning to annoy himself, besides it was more than obvious that Yamaguchi didn't return the feelings.
Well, how is he going to if he doesn't know how the blond feels?

Stupid subconscious.

"Something wrong, Tsuki?" Yamaguchi asked, sitting in front of him. "You seemed a bit annoyed. OH! Is it because Ukai sensei asked us to stay longer today?"

"Yamaguchi..."

"Yes. Tsuki?"

"Shut up." He sighed and opened his bento.

"Sorry, Tsuki." The freckled teenager smiled slightly and started eating too.

Classes are almost over and he has been spacing out during most of the time, almost gaining detention for not paying attention when the teacher called him more than three times. If he keeps in that way sooner or later his parents are going to be notified and he is going to get in big trouble, not because they would be mad or something like that…the reason was that if that happened, Akiteru would get worried, like older brother who treasures his 'baby' brother worried, and he would be more than sure that someone was the reason why he was acting in that way.

He hates when Akiteru is right…

"Tsuki..."

Kei looked at him; he actually seemed really concerned about him. "What is it?"

"Recess it's already over."

Crap.

Looking around the classroom he was the only one with his bento still open and half-eaten. This was not going well, where did the composure that characterizes him went? There was the huge need to calm down before doing something impulsive like kissing him.

Kissing him…

Not again.

"Are you okay?" Tadashi keeps asking, observing how he put his food away trying to keep his cool.

"I'm fine."

This is going to be a long day. At least the next classes were easy for him, with only copying what is on the board he will be okay. Having this kind of feelings was problematic and it needed a solution as soon as possible. Maybe he should analyze the pros and cons of this situation. It was more than obvious that the pros were more than the others, well...it's about Yamaguchi; there's nothing wrong with him.

He can't even believe what he was thinking.

Yamaguchi felt a bit nervous, maybe his friend hadn't notice, but he has been staring at him for almost ten minutes, what could he be thinking? Maybe he had something in his hair... He doesn't mind it, but it's getting worrying the way Kei was acting. It was not normal from him, he thought on talking with him but all that he receives as an answer is that he is fine. Still, Tadashi tries not to blush during classes as he feels his best friend's glance on his nape, they choose their seats and he agreed right away when the blond asked him if he wanted to sit in front of him.

Tadashi was way more open about his feelings than the blond, he knew and was sure that he what he felt for him was never going to be mutual. It was obvious, someone as great as him would never notice someone as lame as he was; besides they were both men. He couldn't hide the fact that the idea of confessing terrified him, what if he took it in the wrong way? The shy guy wouldn't be able to take the rejection well. Tsuki was his best friend; he prefers to keep being just that than knowing that the unexpressive guy would feel disgusted.

He couldn't lie to himself, it hurt.
