Mayuhina tiptoed as she peeked on her classroom. She saw that her seat was empty and so was her seatmate's. She sighed and clicked her tongue, wondering what she should do. Should she –

"Mayuhina."

The brunette flinched as she heard a familiar voice. Looking back, she sees Tsukishima standing behind her. Forcing a smile, Mayuhina bowed to her seatmate before greeting him brightly. "Hi! What can I do for you?" she asked before backing away and covering her lips. Tsukishima sighed at her and shook his head before walking pass her, surprising the female.

"He walked pass me... how could he –" Mayuhina stops herself from mumbling and decides to enter the classroom. She walked to her seat and sat silently. The air between her and her seatmate wasn't hostile but it was surely uncomfortable. The female brunette wanted to say something but the teacher suddenly comes in so she's forced to stay quiet until the classes end.

Through hours and hours of listening to the teacher, the classes finally end and Mayuhina stretched in relief. She glances to her left and catches her blonde seatmate fixing his bag. He then carries it and starts leaving as if he didn't see Mayuhina staring. The female brunette huffs irritation before standing up. She fixed her bag and went to stalk the male.

Trailing behind, Mayuhina kept quiet until the blonde male stops in a secluded place near the library where most people doesn't go to. The female brunette sees her seatmate with a girl who seemed to have waited for a while. The female scanned the girl and noticed that she looks cute. She then sees the chocolate in her hands and just by that, Mayuhina smiles excitedly.

"Oh my god, someone's confessing." The brunette said in a hushed tone. She glanced at Tsukishima and smiled at him. She wished that he would accept the cute girl's confession so things wouldn't be difficult for her. After all, what she wanted was to befriend her seatmate, not make him like her. With this situation, hopefully Tsukishima would stop liking his seatmate.

Mayuhina watched as the girl told her seatmate that she likes him. The female brunette smiled as she felt her heart flutter. Nothing beats romance, Mayuhina liked how it would make her feel like she had a lover when her love-life is almost non-existing. Suddenly, while she was thinking about romance, her mind goes to her first kiss. Slapping her lips instantly, Mayuhina reminded herself that she's here to support Tsukishima with another girl.

The blonde male softly pushed the chocolate away before bowing slightly. Seeing the girl's reaction, Mayuhina realized that her seatmate rejected another girl.

Tsukishima sighed before walking away. He pushed his glasses up and headed to the stairs, only to see his seatmate behind the corner, probably stalking him. Frowning at her action, Tsukishima huffs at her before walking away. Mayuhina followed after him and walked beside him.

"How can you reject a cute girl? She looked kind!" Mayuhina whined before pushing her hands inside her jacket. Tsukishima clicked his tongue and ignored his seatmate. "Help me with making Yacchan confess to your best friend. Come on, let's help our friends." Mayuhina spoke with a pout but Tsukishima didn't spare her a glance. Pondering over her seatmate's cold treatment, Mayuhina mused about the possibility that the tall blonde was feeling awkward.

Tsukishima kept his gaze in front. He has to ignore her because if he didn't, he'll cringe.

His actions yesterday made him almost shiver in shame. Why did he do that? Wasn't that sexual harassment? The tall blonde simply wished for himself to disappear or for the girl to leave –

Tsukishima stops walking as he recalled something. If he remembers it clearly, someone was keen on following him when he was ten years old. When he asked why that person was always following him, they answered with "I want to be as brave as you." That shook Tsukishima. What did he do to make someone say that to him? He glances at Mayuhina and observes her carefully. Maybe, that person was his seatmate. The two people always followed him so maybe it was actually Mayuhina.

The female brunette noticed her seatmate staring at her so she covers herself up and steps away.

"Don't scan my body. Are you a pervert?" she questioned before pushing her hair off of her shoulders. Tsukishima smirked before saying "Didn't you use to follow me before?"

Mayuhina gaped when she hears Tsukishima ask her that. She covers her ajar mouth and blinks before smiling widely and doing a small dance to show how happy she is. She then stops and looks at her seatmate with a bright grin. "Do you remember me now? You remember me, right? What did you use to call me before?" she interrogated as she displayed her hopeful eyes. Tsukishima eyed her carefully before deciding to use the situation for his own benefit.

"Go date me first." He smiled cunningly as he pushed his hands in his pocket.

Mayuhina stopped smiling and changed it into a frown. She sighs in disappointment before looking away and walking ahead of her tall seatmate. She bit her lips in frustration when she remembers that the tall male confessed to her yesterday and even kissed her. When Mayuhina catches herself heating up, she starts thinking about what her mother said and instantly, her mood changes. She feels herself frown even more at what her mother told her.

"I don't have a choice, do I?" Mayuhina thought as she walked aimlessly. She scanned the hallways and sighed nostalgically. She wasn't graduating or anything but what she's going to do will certainly make her feel sad for leaving Karasuno.

Halting on her step, Mayuhina turns around and faced her seatmate with a serious expression plastered on her face. She took a deep breath before exhaling then speaking.

"I'll go straight to the point here Tsukishima." she said without a sign of hesitation. Tsukishima eyed her patiently and waited for her to say something.

"I'm sorry, I don't know what I should feel for your unexpected confession."

Tsukishima gaped at the girl's statement. She doesn't know what to feel? Does that mean... "Are you rejecting me or are you saying that you're going to try it out?" Tsukishima asked in confusion. Mayuhina gave a small laugh before gazing up at her blonde seatmate.

"Tsukishima, I'm –" she pauses as she tried to sort her words out. Can she say it? Why is she hesitating? "You're what?" the tall blonde questioned as he crosses his arms at the female brunette. Mayuhina clears her throat and smiles at her seatmate softly.

"I'm waiting for you to win your first match in Tokyo at the winter's cup. When that happens, I'll be there to tell you what my answer is so... win, okay?" she raised her closed fist before saying, "Fight on!"

Tsukishima gazed at the girl for a while before smiling. He then reaches out his hand to grab Mayuhina's shoulders then pull her close to him. The female brunette blinked at the sudden action. She budges for a while before sighing and hugging the male back. She frowned as her mother's words kept repeating on her mind.

"I'm sorry for leaving you before." Mayuhina told Tsukishima, catching him off-guard and pulling away from her. The blonde male narrowed his eyes at his seatmate's statement and saw her smiling softly. "I'm sorry for not telling you that I was leaving." She apologized before stepping back away from her seatmate. She then sighs in a low-spirited manner before turning around to leave.

"See you tomorrow!" She waved her hand as she walked away from her seatmate, leaving him perplexed about his seatmate's unexpected apology.
