[cleverblocker]

[floatjumper]

I mean date wise...
I guessed that!
Really??
Y-Yeah...

[cleverblocker]

[floatjumper]

I've never gone out with anyone!

1/2

[cleverblocker]

well yeah, i've known you for like, more than half our lives
i think i'd know if you dated anyone before
i don't think so, they said there would be food at the event.
just be yourself. it's not like hitoki is some random person you have to impress.
if she said yes, she already likes you.
as far as our costumes go, i don't think we're dressing up together. at least, as far as i know we aren't.
i
guess we're close?
hang on

[yamaguchi's cell phone rings, and when he answers, tsukishima speaks curtly.]

This was getting to be too much to type, my fingers were cramping up.

[floatjumper]

That's true....but she's really cute.
...

[His face his bright red at reading that she already likes him. He nearly drops his phone when it rings.]

Hello?

Ah...yeah that makes sense. Okay I see...Well, I mean you never spoke to him a lot back home! So i guess you guys got close here, huh?

[cleverblocker]

[rolling his eyes.]

Yeah, I know you think she's cute. I totally noticed that you said as much when she first came to meet us, you know.

[it's cute how you think he doesn't notice these things.]

Mm, yeah, we...met at the bakery, one morning? We ended up eating cake together and just started hanging out a lot so I could get out of my house. We like a lot of the same video games and he talks about stuff other than volleyball, which is great. [he sighs.] And I guess I just...started liking him?

[floatjumper]

[Sorry, Tsukki.]

W-Well yeah...but so did a lot of the others.

[He's happy his friend notices his feelings so much, he truly is.

As Tsukki talks about Kenma he can't help but to chuckle a little at him.]

You've got it bad, Tsukki.

[cleverblocker]

[he's not going to dignify that with a response. that happiness is exactly what you should be feeling over the fact that he noticed.]

Shut up. [he sounds a bit more flustered than usual.] I'm just. Really not sure if he'd even think about me in that way.

[floatjumper]

[Well, you're kind of his best friend Tsukki.]

Sorry, Tsukki. [He can hear it, he's just smiling.] Really?

[cleverblocker]

[if this upcoming word vomit doesn't convey how much he's missed having you around for all this, nothing will.]

I don't even know if he likes guys. I didn't even know I liked guys, or, well, anyone at all like that. And we're really similar, which is great, but it also means he's an impenetrable emotional wall most of the time. I catch little glimpses sometimes [and he's wonderful, inside and out] but.

[a frustrated noise followed by a long bout of silence, only broken by his muttering.] People don't like me. I don't give them a reason to.

[floatjumper]

[There it is! Yamaguchi is really happy to have his friend here, he feels bad he wasn't here from him before now...he really does.]

...Tsukki...

[He feels the frustration over the phone, with ease. Leaning back against his couch, he lets out a small sound.]

You know, you're my best friend, right? Yeah, you're kind of rough at times and like to push buttons but that doesn't make you a bad person. I can say I get frustrated with you sometimes but I said that at camp...but it doesn't change you being my friend.

With the whole liking guys things, I don't care? If you do or you don't then I don't care, you would still be my friend. If it makes you happy then it's a good thing, right?

[He pauses, wow, he's getting a little emotional here.]

Could you ask him? I don't know Kenma well...or well, most of Nekoma, but he seems like a really honest person.

[cleverblocker]

[he'll deny it until he dies if asked, but there's definitely a sniffle, and he needs a second to collect himself. he hadn't even realized that he was worried about being gay and being accepted regardless of who he chose to love, but leave it to yamaguchi to nip it in the bud before it could keep him up at night. yamaguchi's is really the only opinion that matters.]

I don't say it often, but it. Means a lot to me that you can still see good things in me and that you're still my friend.

[that's tsukki speak for "you're my best friend too".]

He is. That's one of the really good things about him. I never feel like I have to worry about him lying to me. If things go well at the dance, it'd probably be a good idea to just be candid and ask him what his orientation is.

[floatjumper]

[Yamaguchi knew the blond all too well. Even if Tsukki wouldn't verbally express worry he knew it might be something that was bothering him in the back of his mind. So before he can even think that Yamaguchi wouldn't support him he was going to get rid of that worry.

The comment has his breath hold for a moment before he laughs softly.]

Me too.

[He loves you man.]

That's how it seems to me! I know, Hinata is pretty good friends with him. That would be best, I think....worse case he isn't, right?

[If he isn't then he would be there for Tsukki, he would always be there for him.]

[cleverblocker]

[ugh, he hates emotions. emotions are the worst. he loves you too man.]

Ugh, don't remind me about the shrimp. I'm sure he has nothing but bad things to say about me to Kenma. [rubs his forehead.] I'm happy that they're close, but if that idiot finds out I have feelings for Kenma, he's going to tell him that I'm no good for him. [which...he probably isn't, but he doesn't need hinata's help.]

[floatjumper]

[Emotions are hard!]

I don't think so, Tsukki. Hinata isn't a bad guy. [He knows that much!] Eh? I don't think...well, I won't say anything! I think you're more intimidating to Hinata than mean. [He's clearly laughing about that.]

[cleverblocker]

He's not a bad guy, he's just protective of his friends. Which extends to Kenma. Of course he's going to worry about how he's going to be treated. [this...kind of implies that he thinks highly of hinata in this regard, but whatever.]

[floatjumper]

Yeah, that true. I know you won't treat him badly, you are rough sometimes but a good guy!

[He knows his friend really well.]

[cleverblocker]

Idiot, don't compliment people so casually.

[he's blushing.]

Thanks, though. I feel better.

[floatjumper]

Sorry, Tsukki!

[He speaks the truth!]

I'm glad, seems this going to be new for both of us.
