Nagishima opened the door to his cousin's room. She hears Kuroo greet her with his usual grin while Ushijima greeted her shortly. The high school girl greeted the three male before entering.
Oikawa, who was sitting on his bed, stared at the girl and accidentally catches her eyes. When their eyes meet each other, Nagishima sends a small smile before making a small bow towards the brunette. "Here's your sweatshirt, Oikawa-san." Nagishima handed the pink piece of clothing to Oikawa as casually as possible. The male brunette stared at her and at his sweatshirt before forcing a smile and grabbing his clothing.
"Why is Oikawa's sweatshirt on your possession?" Kuroo asked warily. Nagishima stared at her cousin in surprise. "Didn't Saikane tell you where I went last Saturday?" she questioned curiously, remembering that her two childhood friends always notifies Kuroo about her disappearance or whereabouts. When Kuroo shakes his head, Nagishima becomes aware that her two childhood friends probably kept it a secret that she went to the amusement park by herself.
Showing a small smile, the black-haired female replies "I met Oikawa-san at the park last Saturday and he made me borrow his sweatshirt because I was cold. Don't worry, it wouldn't happen again." She assured her cousin before pulling her math notebook out.
The room was unusually quiet and the air was somehow thick with discomfort. Kuroo felt irked that it wasn't the usual atmosphere inside the room so he glances at Oikawa, who was looking away from him and Nagishima, and sees the male brunette glaring at Ushijima.
"Oikawa, what happened between you and..." Kuroo paused making Oikawa anxious. "Did he catch on?" he thought to himself as the black-haired male kept his gaze at him. Kuroo sighed and asked, "What happened between you and Ushiwaka? You've been glaring at him for a while now."
Nagishima blinked and checked the two male who was lying on their respective bed. She then looked at her cousin questioningly. "They're fighting? Why?" she probed while tapping her pen on the desk.
"I don't remember arguing with Oikawa." Ushijima clarified as he kept his eyes on his book. Oikawa faked a cough and opened his mouth to speak. "I wasn't glaring at Ushiwaka. I was just checking the book he was reading but I couldn't see it so I had to be like this to see it clearly." The brunette lied as he narrowed his eyes to look like he's glaring. Kuroo and Nagishima hummed in response as they understood what the brunette said.
Oikawa forced another grin before faking a laugh.
After the situation cleared, Kuroo started teaching his younger cousin. The day was silent and the people inside was oddly quiet. Both Kuroo and Ushijima felt suspicious as they secretly took glances at their brunette roommate while Oikawa and Nagishima desperately avoided eye contact with each other. The day ended peaceful but tense. Nagishima fixed her things and Ushijima decided to say something.
"Aren't you going to help Nagishima go home, Oikawa?"
Kuroo shot a cold stare at both of his roommate. "No way. Rino can do it by herself." He said with a sly smirk on his lips. Nagishima hummed in agreement as she carried her bag behind her back before standing up.
"I'll be leaving. Thank you for today." The black-haired girl bid goodbye and turned around. "Do you want me to help you go home, Rino?" Oikawa asked with a small smile. Nagishima sighed first before shifting her attention to her brown-haired senior and smiling at him coolly. "I'm fine by myself. Don't bother helping me." She responded before bowing and walking out of the room, making sure to close the door behind her gently.
The room went cold as the high school girl exited the room. Oikawa clicked his tongue before resting on his bed.
As Nagishima walked out of the male's dorm, she felt that the weather was getting colder as winter approached. She looked down her attire and was glad that she wore a tracksuit to keep her warm. Her phone then rings and when she checks it, she sees Saikane's message.
"Come here quickly. We're having a movie night so don't miss out." It read. Nagishima smiled before replying with "I'm going home" as she kept marching out of the university. Since she wasn't staring at her way, she bumps into someone and when she looks to see and apologize to who she bumped, the younger girl blinks once she doesn't recognize the lady in front of her.
"God, you're so clumsy! Are you trying to break my stilettos?" the lady asked with a nasty look on her face. Nagishima gawked at the thick make-up the lady had. "Your face powder... it doesn't suit your skin tone." Nagishima commented insensitively, making the stranger gasp. She then shoves the younger girl with ill-intent.
"At least, I don't wear tracksuit that makes me look like a pig!" the lady shouted before trying to grab the younger girl's hair but unfortunately, someone grabs her hand.
"What are you doing? Are you hurting my girlfriend?"
Nagishima gaped as the person in front of her stood with smug. Aizawa sneered before shoving the lady with force. "How dare you try to hit her, huh? Are you trying to get killed? Do you think you can handle being roundhouse kicked in that face of yours? Well, I guess you could. You're make-up's so thick that it might shield you from Rino's roundhouse kick." Aizawa grilled the stranger as she pushed her.
Nagishima blinked twice before standing beside the red-haired girl who was coincidentally wearing a tracksuit as well. The younger girl held Aizawa's hands and smiled adoringly at her. "You're so awesome. I've never been protected like that before." The black-haired girl praised before pulling the older lady with her in an attempt to stop her from roasting the unfortunate stranger even more. Aizawa smiled smugly before winking at Nagishima.
"Aren't I awesome? I'm the best." She complimented herself before slinging her arm over Nagishima's shoulder. She then looks at the lady in front of her and sees her snarling at her. Aizawa feints a punch before Nagishima tries to stop her.
"Calm down, Aizawa-san. We can't beat someone who isn't our level." Nagishima reminded while Aizawa scoffed at the lady with the thick make-up. "Don't mess with us!" she shouts before pulling Nagishima away from her.
"Bunch of female gangsters! You with the black-hair! You're right, I'm not on your level, I'm even higher than you!" the stranger shouted but Nagishima ignored her. "Someone who looks like a man shouldn't compare to me!"
Nagishima snapped. Aizawa felt a dark aura from the girl beside her and when she looks at the younger girl, she finds her turning around to face the stranger.
Suddenly, Nagishima pushes the arm that was dangled over her shoulder as she cracks her knuckles while clenching her jaw. "I can accept any jeers except for one... I hate being called a man." The young girl says before running to the stranger who gasps at the sudden action. She covers her face but when she doesn't feel someone hit her, she looks in front only to see Nagishima in front of her with a crossed arms.
Nagishima steps back before making a side kick towards the stranger so her heel could face the girl's powder-thick face.
"I wanted to try the roundhouse kick but I realized... my shoes might get stained by your heavy lipstick." Nagishima spoke while Aizawa cheered for her in the back. The high-school girl gave a cold glare before motioning the lady to run which the stranger did out of fear.
Once the lady was gone, Nagishima lowers her foot and sighs in irritation. All of a sudden, Aizawa plunges at her with a huge grin on her face. "As cool as ever, Rino!" she praised while messing the girl's hair. Nagishima smiled but stopped when she realized one thing.
"When did we get so close?" The young girl asked naïvely. "Since I've announced that you're my girlfriend!" the college female exclaimed while walking with Nagishima. She then points at the high-school girl's attire before pointing at hers.
"Same attire, same color."
Nagishima smiled lightly as she realized that both of them was wearing a red tracksuit. Laughing at the coincidence, the black-haired female jokes. "I guess, we're soulmates for today." Aizawa nods as she kept her eyes towards Nagishima's expression. "You looked sad earlier. Let me treat you to a sweet slice of cake so stop frowning." Aizawa offered and pinched the younger girl's cheeks as Nagishima blinked at the sudden invitation before realizing that she should accept the offer.
The two tracksuit-wearing female went out of the university with a grin plastered on their faces.
"What's taking Rino so long?" Saikane groaned as she held her pillow close to her. She glances at Kenma and sees him keen on playing his game. Sighing to herself, Saikane crosses her arms.
"Kenma, are we really friends? You can't even talk to me but whenever that Shouyo person calls you, you always give this small smile and I'm curious, is that person closer to you?" Saikane ranted while she kept her voice low. She sulked when the pudding-head doesn't even look at her.
"Let's break up."
Kenma had to pause his game because of what the blonde girl said. He stared at her with stun as he lowered his game console. "Are you serious?" he asked. Saikane nods as she kept her gaze away. "Yeah, I'm serious." She muttered in a hushed tone. "We're not even dating." Kenma replied as he gave the girl a weirded out stare. Out of the blue, Saikane grins in a bubbly manner before standing up and doing a small dance of victory, making the pudding-head even more baffled. In all honesty, Saikane is just happy that Kenma looked away from his game.
"Listen up, mate." Saikane started as she sat down in front of her childhood friend. "There's nothing wrong with playing games. In fact, you can do that as long as you want but when Rino and I are talking, please try to look at us. When Karasuno went here last month, I saw how you interacted with Hinata Shouyo. You would lower your game console while listening to the person speak about something I don't really get and you would give him a small smile and it makes me think, waah! This person is closer to Hinata Shouyo than us." She ranted while making hand gestures that doesn't make sense.
Saikane then stares at Kenma with seriousness. "Honestly, it makes me jealous. A friendly kind of jealousy, I mean. The type where you get sad that your friend's kind of getting closer to someone." She blabbered before leaning on the male's bed.
Hearing his female childhood friend's words, Kenma inhaled deeply to try and calm himself. He exhales then gazes at Saikane with intensity.
"If you keep acting like that, I wouldn't need a partner." He says as Saikane raises an eyebrow at what her friend was implying. Taking a deep breath, Kenma says "Let's date each other."
Coughing at the unexpected confession, Saikane stands up and scans the room for a hidden camera. Maybe she's being pranked right now. With that in mind, Saikane laughs loudly. "Wow! You shocked me! Kenma, you sly cat! You made a good joke." She gives two thumbs up as she smiled brightly.
"Whenever I make a move on you, you always treat me as a joke. Do you think my feelings are funny?" Kenma replied seriously. "I like you...Give me an answer so I would know how to act when I'm with you." He added. It was the longest sentence that the female blonde heard from her friend for months and it wasn't what she expected to hear.
Saikane had her mouth hanging, unable to process the situation she's in. What just happened? Wasn't Kenma her childhood friend? Why is she being asked out all of a sudden?
A/N:
I'm early, aren't I? Guess why?
It's because of the last scene! The scene where our pudding-head finally confesses his feelings make me very eager to show you what the heck actually happened between him and Saikane!
This chapter was supposed to be heart-breaking and that's what I had in mind while writing it but when I looked back at what I wanted in a series, it was to have lots of laughs! I couldn't create a sad scene right now in this chapter because I was afraid that I was going to be too fast in making this sad as well as the fact that I wanted this story to be over twety chapters. But forget about sad scene! This is supposed to be humor!
My god, Kenma's personality here makes me want to look at the mirror to ask myself, is this really his personality in canon?
Anyway, I hope you like this! There isnt that much Oikawa in this chapter so i apologize. Hope you enjoyed reading this~~~
