"Excuse me, miss!"
"Oh?" The worker turned around to see a freckled kid with olive-green hair standing behind her. "What do you need, sweetie?"
"Uhhh, where are the dinosaur plushies?" The boy asked nervously.
"Oh, they're in the toy section, that way." She pointed towards the back of the store.
The kid beamed at her in gratefulness. "Thank you, Miss…"
"Just call me Okudera."
"Right! Then you can call me Yamaguchi!" The kid - Yamaguchi - beamed and ran off to the toys section.
Turns out there was an entire aisle dedicated to dinosaur toys. There were electronic robots, dinosaur puzzles, anything dinosaur-related you could think of was there. Yamaguchi gasped when he saw something that really caught his eye.
It was a plushie of a dinosaur. It was maroon, could stand on its own, had really big anime eyes, and even had glasses! It looked just like a certain middle blocker on the Karasuno team.
Tomorrow was White Day and Yamaguchi was out shopping for a present. Who was the present for? His crush, Tsukishima Kei. Yamaguchi was pretty sure the tallboy wasn't into other boys, but he had to take a chance.
Besides, the dino was too cute.
He was gonna call it Tiggy.
Yamaguchi happily plucked the toy off the shelf and skipped across the store to the checkout, when he saw-
"Tsukki!?"
Said male jumped in surprise (as he was not wearing his headphones for once in his goddamn life) and stared at Yamaguchi like he was an alien. "Yamaguchi! Umm, well, what are you going here? And is that…" Tsukishima's eyes widened when he saw what the freckled pinch-server was carrying. "A stuffed tyrannosaurus rex?
Yamaguchi externally: "Well…"
Yamaguchi internally: HolyAsahiwhyistheloveofmylifeinthesamestorehewassupposedtobewiththeothersomiGOSH-
Tsukishima finished checking out and allowed Yamaguchi to pay for his toy. Yamaguchi took the receipt only to see Tsukki still stubbornly hanging beside him. "Something wrong, Tsukki?"
"Huh?" A slight tinge of pink covered a little of Tsukishima's cheeks, so little that it was barely noticeable. It still surprised the other boy though. Tsukishima continued. "Well, I was thinking, tomorrow is White Day and we have practice, so we could hang out?" It came out as more of a question than an answer to Yamaguchi.
Yamaguchi didn't care, however, and before his nerves could take over, he jumped on Tsukki, pulling him into a hug. "Thank you, Tsukki! You're the best!"
"Ow, ow, heavy...get OFF!"
The two walked to a nearby park, where Yamaguchi wanted to go on the swings. Tsukishima reluctantly followed, standing to the side, but he couldn't help a small grin from appearing on his face when he saw how happy Yamaguchi was.
That was the strange thing about the pinch-server: He always managed to make Tsukishima smile. Even the tall blocker didn't understand it.
"Oh!" Yamaguchi's eyes lit up with realization as he jumped off the swing midair (which, in Tsukki's eyes, was pretty cool, but he'd never admit it) and he ran to where he had kept the bag with the plushie. Taking it out, he held it out to Tsukishima, bowing. "I-I got you something for White Day!"
A few seconds passed, in which Yamaguchi was frightened that Tsukishima would think it was weird that his best friend gave him a gift for White day.
Instead, he was pulled by Tsukishima into a kiss.
