First post: 29/10/20
I have been in this studyblr community two times before this and let me just say, I am falling in love with it all over again.
This is me studying Political Science on our sofa (just for a change haha) which I have been trying to do for a while. Further on my list is to start with my economics project because my school reopens on the 5th and I haven't done a single thing. I hope I will be productive today!

Songs and Coffee (Tendou Satori x Reader)
Tumblr media

said:
Hi if you're taking requests rn, I'd like a one-shot for tendou! The idea is that every morning, reader has a coffee on her school table before she arrives to class. She doesn't know who's behind this but she's happy bc she LOVES coffee. One day, she decides to arrive sooner than usual so that she can find out. When she discovers it is tendou, she's surprise bc they barely talk but she thinks he's cute so she decides to do smth about it. End it as you please, I just want them together ❣️ Thanks!

Anonymous said:
Hi! First, I just read all your fics and omg your fingers do magic ??? They were all so so so good! And secondly, if requests are open, I would like one about Tendou being best friends with the reader but he likes her. He has never said anything about it because he thinks is one-sided but he just can't take it anymore and want to confess. The idea is that they're watching 10 Things I hate about you, and he thinks is a good idea to confess next day singing in front of everyone like in the movie

OMFG guys😫😫😫 this was so incredibly hard to write! It’s not that I don’t like Tendou, in fact @sunshinewitchz​ and I have talked about how much he’s been growing on us, but his character I feel like is so hard to capture right! I’ve said this before, but my biggest concern is always making sure I’m able to capture characters right. I really hope I did an okay job with this, I hope it’s not complete shit😭😭😭 I also decided to combine these requests together so I hope it’s okay, and if it is complete shit then I apologize @lalesnotes​ and anon! I would love any feedback and I hope you guys enjoy it! 
ALSO, this is my last request! I won’t be taking anymore at the moment, I’m sorry if I wasn’t able to get to all of them! I will let you guys know when I am taking more requests, and feel free to send some then!😘😘 I’m thinking about opening up requests in about a week or so, just to give you guys some kind of time frame! I will still be posting my own stories however and I can’t wait to put more content out for you guys!

“Hasn’t this been going on for like a month now?” Your friend asked, taking her seat next to you.
 “Just about yeah.” You smiled, glancing down at the cup of coffee placed between your two hands. The coffee was made perfectly, you had always preferred a medium roast with four sugars and four creams. But it wasn’t just any medium roast coffee with four sugars and four creams, it was coffee from your favorite little coffee shop around the corner.
 Every morning.
 There it was on your desk, still fresh, still hot, always incredibly delicious. 
 At first you had thought that someone had left it there accidentally until you noticed the sticky note under the cup.
 Every morning that you received your coffee you also received the sweetest notes to go along with it.
 They were always addressed to you, and always signed at the bottom as your secret admirer.
 At first you had thought it was a bit embarrassing, and your friends teasing you also didn’t help. But as the coffee and notes continued to appear before you every single day, well, it definitely was growing on you.
 You were curious and flattered by the sweet gesture, if you were being completely honest, a small crush began to develop.
 You didn’t even know this person and yet… yet it seemed like they knew you, in the least creepy way possible.
 Unbeknownst to you, a certain spiky haired redhead glanced over towards you, a small smile grazing his lips before he looked away.
 “So, are you going to try to find out who this admirer is?” you friend asked during lunch.
 “I want to… I just don’t know where I would start.” You sighed, resting your face against your hand. “I really want to meet them… and thank them! I love coffee so much, and it’s not one in a while, it’s every day. That has to be expensive.” you frowned as you thought of that.
 She rolled her eyes at you. “That’s the least of your worries. What if it’s some kind of creep? What if that person is a stalker?” she asked, looking around your guys’ table in suspicion.
 This time you rolled your eyes, “I highly doubt that. The notes they leave are incredibly sweet and well thought out, there’s no way that person could be a stalker.” you said poking at your rice with chopsticks.
 Before your friend could retort she took notice to the tall ace of the volleyball team. “Ushijima-san! Would you like to sit with us!?” 
 You looked over and noticed the tall male and beside him was his spiky haired sidekick; Tendou.
 You noticed him staring at you for a moment, so you offered him a gentle smile in acknowledgement. He gave you a small one back before he and Ushijima took a seat at your table.
 “Is Tsu behaving?” you asked curiously.
 You were incredibly familiar with the volleyball team, because your little brother was on it. 
 While you generally didn’t like to linger when it came to Tsutomu’s teammates, you were at least polite and friendly with them.
 This was a courtesy that you did for your precious little brother, you absolutely adored him. To save him any embarrassment, you decided to stay separate from that part of his life.
 You still attended all of his games sure, but when he was surrounded by his teammates, you generally stayed away.
 Plus, you didn’t want him to feel like you were hovering, a habit you had done since you were children.
 You were a doting big sister, which was why he was so spoiled, not that you would say so out loud.
 “Goshiki is still learning. But he can be reliable.” Ushijima stated simply.
 “He’s a good kid, our future ace just needs more experience.” Tendou threw in, he peered at you with a cat-like grin.
 You looked at the middle blocker curiously, out of everyone on the team he was the most interesting. His mannerisms, the way he talked, his calculating eyes, his voice… hell, even his volleyball play.
 You never really took the time to actually talk to the middle blocker, despite the fact that he was in the same class as you.
 It was always small talk.
 But even with the small talk, you were incredibly intrigued by him, not to mention you found him quite cute.
 “Please continue taking care of him.” You said sincerely, eyes never faltering from his face. “I always worry about him.”
 Tendou’s eyes flashed in amusement at your words, he rested his elbow against the table, leaning his face against his hand as he situated himself a bit closer to you from across the table. 
 “You’re a doting sister aren’t you Y/n-chan?” He asked, his eyes turning into slits as he grinned cheekily at you.
 A flush coated your face at his statement, you looked away in a pout. “No more than any other big sister.”
 “Are you kidding?” Your friend snorted. “Of course, she is! She’s always talking about Tsu and his accomplishments. That’s why he seeks out praise from everyone so much, it’s because of her!”
 “That’s not true!” You said in defense. 
 “I see.” Ushijima said.
 “It’s not true Ushijima-san!” You turned to look at the stoic captain.
 Tendou watched on in amusement, entirely captivated by your flushed face and pouty expression. 
 “You’re so cute Y/n-chan.” Tendou sang out easily, watching in further amusement as your face turned into a tomato.
 Before you could protest further the lunch bell rang.
 “See you in class Y/n-chan.” Tendou called out easily walking away with Ushijima, humming to himself loudly as he left.
 He called you cute.
 Why would he…
 It didn’t matter.
 He said you were cute.
 “Your face is like a cherry tomato.” Your friend mused.
 “S-Shut up!” you exclaimed, grabbing your burning cheeks as you guys left the lunchroom.
 “It’s just Tendou-kun, you need to calm down.” She laughed.
 You frowned at her statement, while it was true… that interaction was something that you couldn’t get out of your head.
 It’s not like that was your first time talking to the middle blocker, so why did that feel different somehow?
 Thoughts of the tall male plagued your mind the entire day, and you often found yourself glancing back at him during class.
 Luckily, each time that you did he was preoccupied, never noticing your stare.
 You couldn’t place your finger on it, but every fiber in your being wanted to talk to him again, wanted to get to know him more.
 That would be okay wouldn’t it?
 *****
 Tendou sighed, leaning back into his chair as he toweled off his wet hair from his shower. 
 Practice was particularly exhausting today, and all he wanted was to relax the rest of the night. 
 He cocked his head to the side as he watched a scene that was going on. The TV was turned on more for background noise, he wasn’t paying attention as to what movie it was that was playing.
 It looked like a romance one, since the male character was singing amongst the bleachers to the girl in hopes of gaining her attention and affection.
 “Interesting.” he hummed to himself, watching as the scene continued to unfold.
 If he hadn’t made it obvious before, Tendou was completely enthralled by you.
 His first impression of you was that you were obviously beautiful, you were a small little thing, and he found it incredibly surprising that you were Goshiki’s big sister. 
 But after the initial shock, he found that you were entirely predictable, your manners, your reactions, your thoughts, it was enduring to say the least.
 You were an open book.
 He adored you completely.
 A large crush began to develop and when he had realized that you were also in his class… well, he just knew he had to do something to gain your attention.
 So, when he had heard your conversation with your friends that you loved the coffee from the shop around the corner of the school, he knew exactly what he had to do.
 While Tendou was always observing people, this was entirely different, and when he saw your confused face turn into delight the first time he had left the coffee on your desk, he was ecstatic. 
 Every note that he had written for you, came from his heart. 
 He had only hoped that you were beginning to like him back now. Which he thought was a large possibility, considering that he had caught you looking back at him in class today, multiple times.
 He was fantastic at guess blocking, but this guessing was entirely different, and he was worried that it might be wrong.
 Tendou had to take a chance though, after a couple of weeks of supplying you with coffee, he had to confess.
 He had to tell you.
 In the only way he knew how.
 *****
 You frowned as you stared at your empty desk, no coffee. No note. Nothing. 
 You had gotten so used to seeing those items every morning before class that now… now this was weird.
 Honestly, you were kind of upset.
 Did your admirer forget?
 Was your admirer just late today?
 Did your admirer stop liking you?
 You felt your stomach drop at the last thought, you had hoped it wasn’t that.
The door to the classroom busted open. “Y/n-chan! You need to come see this! Quick!” She panted, grabbing your wrist and hauling you away from the classroom.
 “W-What’s going on? What happened?” You pant, trying to keep up with her quick feet.
 You took notice of the large crowd of people gathering around the volleyball gym, whispers scattered amongst them.
 Your friend finally released your hand, both of you attempting to catch your breath as you guys pushed through the crowd to see what was going on.
 You took notice to the tall ace immediately, holding what appeared to be a stereo. His face was expressionless, as always. He was in his gym clothes still, their morning practice probably just ending. But then you took notice of the tall middle blocker beside him, holding a microphone with a large grin on his face.
 “Y/n-chan! This is dedicated to you!” he declared, pointing directly at you. You could feel your face flush as people turned to look at you, but their attention went back to Tendou as soon as he opened his mouth and began singing.
 Your lips parted in awe.
 While you and pretty much everyone else in this school was used to his little songs, this was entirely different.
 He sounded good.
 Really good.
 Was Tendou’s voice always this amazing?
 Was he always… this attractive?
 Oh fuck.
 He was really attractive.
 A soft smile grazed your lips as you continued staring at the redhead, his antics as he moved around with the microphone was entirely enduring and adorable. When Tendou opened his eyes and stared directly at you, you felt your heart thump hard in your chest.
 After Tendou had finished his song the crowd of people clapped and cheered before walking off.
 Leaving you, Tendou, your friend, and Ushijima.
 Your friend pushed you lightly towards the middle blocker, a wide grin covering her face as she watched you approach him shyly.
 “Tendou-san.” your face was flushed as you stared up at the male in awe. 
 “Hold that thought Y/n-chan!” he said, turning over to his bag that was set behind him and then he pulled out… your coffee. “Sorry it wasn’t there this morning, I had to get to practice and set this up…” he trailed off, scratching the back of his head sheepishly.
 “It’s you!?” you blurted out; eyes wide in shock.
 Tendou’s heart was racing in his chest at your question, the shocked look on your face caused his confidence to deflate. 
 You didn’t like him back. He was sure of it.
 “Uh yeah…” he said quietly, his eyes casting away from you. His spiky hair all but flattening with his decreasing confidence and mood. “I understand if you don’t like me back… People have always thought I was a freak, so I get it if you find me creepy too-”
 You shook your head wildly, grabbing both of his large hands in your small ones. You ignored the blush on your face and his shocked expression. 
 “That’s not true Tendou-san! I think you’re amazing!” You blurted out, the filter on your mouth completely gone as you let all the truths you were thinking spill from your lips. “You’re so sweet and thoughtful! I had no idea that you were my secret admirer! I loved it all! I loved your song! You’re an incredible singer! I do like you back Tendou-san!”
 His eyes widened at your confession; his gaze flickered down to your intertwined hands. Your grip was warm and tight on his large ones. Your skin was soft and delicate against his, and Tendou couldn’t help but think that he wanted to hold your hand forever.
 “Then please go out with me Y/n-chan.” he said sweetly, giving you the gentlest smile.
 You couldn’t help but smile back, nodding enthusiastically. 
 “I still need to change back into my uniform, if you wait for me, we can walk to class together.” He carefully removed his hands from yours, picking up his gym back and handing you your coffee.
 “I’ll be right here.” you declared, watching him and Ushijima walk off.
 Your friend squealed loudly, slapping at your arm. “I can’t believe it! This is great! Tsu might be mad though.” she frowned, as she thought about your little brother.
 “I don’t care.” you sighed dreamily, taking a sip of your coffee. 
 It was still hot. Medium roast, four sugars, four creams, and incredibly delicious.
 Although, it was far sweeter than anything you had ever tasted before.

Hello, everyone! I'm a new studyblr joining the community!
So, first of all, I'm Sofía, this is a secondary blog, my main blog is @just-another-wretched-egg
I'm in my last year of nursing school, in Chile🇨🇱 and I decided to made a studyblr because I've been liking this community since long time ago, and because I plan on studying even after I graduate of university, such as learning languages (I'm learning Italian right now) and other courses associated to nursing.
About me:
- My sign is cancer♋
- I like winter☃️, but also spring 🌸(even if I get congestionated haha)
- I like to learn, especially languages.🇫🇷🇮🇹🇯🇵🇩🇪🇺🇲
- I like to draw✏
- I love anime, especially studio ghibli movies, there comes my studyblr name.♥️
- I'm a feminist, or at least that's what I like to think haha💁🏻‍♀️💜
I look up to Florence Nightingale, the first nurse in history (that kind of sounded lame, didn't it?), and my mother (she is another nurse) and every nurse out there risking their lives in the Covid pandemic.🕯
I might not post much of original content, but I'll make it through, somehow...
And so, for finishing this intro, I'd like to show you the studyblr blogs that I follow:
@france-tips @emmastudies @pharmstudies @studyign @studyblr @studydiaryofamedstudent @eintsein @hard-to-study-pharmacy @a-students-lifebuoy @fiercelittlestudyblr @bright-goals @lalesnotes @studying-in-yellow @fivestarstudying @studycris @latenightsvshi @autumndesk @maeve--studies @myhoneststudyblr @teacherstudiies @cescinatudies @pytheagoras @studyingdawn @dewstudies @daslawblr @afrofuturiststudent @goblinstudies @bea-estudiando @darkacademiathings @artsyacademiic @papersonmydesk @keepcalmanduseyourbrain
That's it! Hope we get along 🤗💜

artificial paradise — kozume kenma
Tumblr media
4.3k words | genre/s: fluff | warning/s: badly written basketball games | pairing: kenma x f!reader
↪︎ in which animal crossing became you and kenma’s artificial paradise
a/n: request for @lalesnotes, this prompt was so cute thanks for requesting ! i kind of had writers block while writing this as i’m broke and have never played acnh nor played basketball lol
Tumblr media
three pm and an aching body is what best described you at this very moment. with the slight burning sensation radiating throughout your thighs, sprinting as fast as you could across the basketball court in which you shouted, “i’m open!” it was accompanied by the squeaking of your sneakers against the shiny gymnasium floors of nekoma.
within a fraction of a second, your eyes swiftly flickered towards the scoreboard and the time. the scores were neck and neck with the time for the last quarter of the practice team neared it’s last evident seconds.
10... 9... 8...
the ball was thrown towards you with its orange hues blending into a blur as you had snatched it midair. planting your foot firmly into the wooden baseboards of the court, you jumped high in the air. it was that very moment that everything felt like it moved in a slow motion, that everything muddied into nothing but that very moment; with the mixing cacophonies of shouting teammates and the thunderous pumping of your blood and adrenaline, nothing mattered but that shot.
and just as quickly the feeling of rising spiraling skies soared, they diminished like a crashing wave with your feet landing square on the ground again. your eyes were soaked in the liquor of the innate animistic adrenaline whenever you got too into a game. no matter whether it was just a simple practice game like this, you still took the sport you were most passionate about just as serious as a real game. an inaudible sigh was pulled out of your lungs as you watched the ball swish into the net the moment the deafening noise of the last buzzer.
cheers erupted from the sidelines, mostly from your teammates, the managers, and your coach lulled through one ear and out the other as your arms finally drop to you sides.
“great job today, (y/n).” your team captain compliments, patting your shoulder as her tall figure loomed over you. she was a basketball player and it shouldn’t be much of a surprise when your entire team’s average height was much higher than most. it would in fact be a lot higher if your height didn’t skew the numbers so greatly.
it wasn’t like you were that short. in fact, you were taller than majority of the girls in nekoma at a good 170 cm, not that it mattered anyway. you were still a substantial part of nekoma’s woman’s basketball team as their point guard, you always held such a title since you started playing in elementary school.
“thanks, yoshida.” you threw her a smile as you made your way towards the benches to grab your water bottle.
you tugged at the lid, getting ready to take a sip when your wandering eyes fell upon a familiar face lingering near the entrance of the gymnasium. kozume kenma in all his nonchalant glory was waiting near the entrances like he always did after school. since your first year together, he had that habit of arriving to the gym early to watch you play. however, never in a million years would he actually reveal that type of information to you as he seemed you would deem it as creepy. he didn’t want to sever the already lacking connection with you by saying something stupid. so yeah, his only excuse was that volleyball practice takes place after the basketball team’s.
it wasn’t at all a complete lie, it was true, which is the only reason why you don’t give him a mere look of disgust whenever you see him arrive to the gymnasium thirty minutes before his actual practice starts. usually you would greet him kindly once you had your bag all packed up and ready to leave. a simple wave and that sweet smile you always had on whenever you said ‘hi’ or ‘goodbye’ to him was always enough to fuel his yearning heart for you. 
you were this close, and yet he couldn’t help but seem farther than he thinks he is.
your eyes finally left nekoma’s setter the moment you saw that he was too enamored in his game to even catch your glance like he normally does. you sipped quickly from you water bottle before packing your things up in your bag. grabbing one of the straps in a quick swipe, it lands on your right shoulder as you made your way towards kenma.
upon closer inspection, he was actually playing on his gray nintendo switch lite with little sound emitting from the console that rang familiar in your ears. the game’s nuanced cacophonies was far too iconic for you not to recognize from the villager’s incomprehensible mumbles and the sounds of getting a rare fish while fishing switched a flip in your brain. without a second thought, you approached kenma much faster than you anticipated.
you had definitely caught him off guard when he stared at you with enlarged eyes at your sudden burst. you didn’t even say ‘hi’ to him before bombarding the poor guy.
“is that the new animal crossing?” you beamed at him.
kenma’s heart jumped when you did so, only to beat faster than ever when you peered over his shoulder to watch his game. this was the closest you were to him and he could hear your gentle breathing and your warm aura completely surrounding his body in a warmth he didn’t actually hate for once. the was the thing he liked most about you. an action like this—ultimately invading his personal space like kuroo and lev always did—was something he always hated, but he didn’t mind if it was you. if anything he wanted you closer as you intoxicated him with your smell of sugarcoated cherries and dazzling psyche.
“yeah,” was all he could say. it was breathless and laced with a sudden shock that you didn’t mind knowing that he was usually quiet.
“your character is really cute, it looks just like you.” you complimented and kenma could’ve swore he would have confessed to you then and there when you literally just called him cute. you didn’t even notice his burning red cheeks as you continued, “you should add me so we can visit each other’s islands.”
kenma swiftly nods, trying to act as his usual, mellow self when he handed you his switch. he looked nonchalant, but in reality, he was bouncing off the walls. you typed in your info quickly before you offered the device back to him, your hands touching his slightly. “thanks,” kenma almost strains as he smiled at him one last time before waving him goodbye.
“i’ll get on later!” you exclaimed as you were already out of the gym, watching as the setter pursed a smile and waved back at you gently.
Tumblr media
consider the following: how the hell did you and kenma end up talking about your love lives while playing animal crossing?
well the answer was simple, really. you and kenma had been playing together on animal crossing for a good few weeks now everyday after school once your basketball practice and his volleyball practice had finished; you two log on and go to each other’s islands doing nothing but occasionally trading a couple turnips, fishing, and catching spiders together. and in those past few weeks you and the setter have been getting to know each other through the game in a more or less practical way.
so far, your only way of communication is from chatting on the actual game, instead of perhaps calling each other or facetiming. you two literally had each other’s numbers, and yet you both loathe the fear and the racing pulse of asking the latter whether or not they wanted to talk over the phone instead. 
you were surprised on how consistently fine you two were talking like this when it tended to get a tad bit annoying at times. like when kenma had so much more to say, but his message would’ve been too long and double texting was apparently something he was a bit embarrassed about. apparently, he thinks he’s being annoying if he responded more than once in a row. you on the other hand, believed that his short answers meant that he was starting to get bored of the small talk. honestly, it was understandable the amount of times you two talked about each other’s days while fishing.
so here you were, trying to spice things up in the conversation by talking about your love lives (or lack thereof) while hanging out on kenma’s island. it was a bit of a leap as you literally jumped from talking about your upcoming sports games to whether you two were in relationships.
lycheey/n: do you like anyone?
kenma practically felt his heart soar and going a bit lightheaded when you asked that question. his palms started to get clammy as he gripped onto his nintendo switch tightly, thumbs hovering over the keyboard as he hesitated to type.
the memory suddenly rang over him to early today when kuroo noticed how close you were standing next to kenma. you watched him play whatever rpg game he was incredibly enamored in, admiring his chamomile eyes and dry cheeks as you completely ignored kuroo who stood right there. kenma didn’t even notice how close you were next to him as the past weeks you had been hanging around him during lunch, he perhaps had gotten used to your presence—almost angelic and comforting. if anything, if you were to suddenly become absent from his side, he would immediately feel the lacking warmth of your aura he loved so dear about you.
“i think you should confess already,” kuroo had discreetly bumped his shoulder with kenma as he watched you walk away. 
the setter had almost choked on his juice box as he gave a look towards the raven haired boy. “that’s not gonna happen.”
“uh, yes it will.” kuroo scoffs, pressing further into the topic. “i am not going to graduate from this high school without you confessing to (y/n)!”
“stop being so loud!” exclaimed kenma as hues of pink embarrassment tinted his cheeks. he attempted to block out his best friend’s stupid antics by focusing his attention back onto his game.
“i just think you should confess to her soon,” he muttered nonchalantly. “she does have a game after school on friday... maybe you could confess to her then.”
kenma ignored him.
but kuroo continued anyway, “if nekoma wins the game, it’ll be a good ass day for (y/n).” he tried to reason enticingly.
“and if our team loses?”
“(y/n) would be disappointed, but she would be immediately cheered up the moment the guy she likes finally confesses to her.”
kenma couldn’t help but roll his eyes, “she doesn’t like me back, kuroo.”
“are you kidding me right now, kenma?” his eyes widen in utter surprise, “she’s literally around you almost everyday during lunch and you two play animal crossing for hours after school. you’re telling me, that she doesn’t like you? kenma, any person with half a brain cell can see that you both have feelings for each other.”
from then on, that thought forever spiraled within kenma’s head the rest of the day. he figured it would’ve disappeared into oblivion by the time he hopped onto animal crossing with you, but the moment you asked him that damned question, it only ached in reincarnation. it turned his mind into a road of hurricanes as he finally noticed how long he was stuck in his thoughts that minutes had gone by of not answering.
without even thinking, he immediately typed:
kenmaclan: yes.
fuck. kenma thought, why the hell did i say that?
he swallowed his nerves as he straightened his posture the moment he saw that you were typing.
lycheey/n: i like someone too. i’ve actually liked them for a while now
there was an inkling within kenma as his throat suddenly dried upon reading your text. the inkling that perhaps you were talking about him (just as kuroo implied) left his imagination to completely explode into epiphanies of his dreams and wishes as his heart threatened to combust right then. you didn’t even confess to him and yet the setter found his fingers liking faster than his brain could comprehend what he was even doing
kenmaclan: i like yo-
but before he could type the full response, you had already sent another message.
lycheey/n: it’s getting late, kenma. it was really fun playing with you today, same time tomorrow?
kenma felt his shoulders shudder in relief as he immediately deleted his text. perhaps it was the world telling him it wasn’t a good idea so say at that very moment and he was incredibly thankful that you had sent your message a millisecond quicker. it perhaps spared kenma from another age of absolute embarrassment that he wanted to just crawl in a hole and live there for the rest of his life.
kennaclan: goodnight, (y/n) :)
Tumblr media
today was perhaps the day that kenma would meet his demise. it was finally friday and the final school bell rang across nekoma in a uniform blast. almost immediately, students packed their things and made their way towards the gym to watch the basketball game as inevitably, kenma found himself within the migrating crowds as well.
his pumping nerves ached, palms perspired in a clammy mess, his heart thudding against his lungs and rib cage at a hundred miles per hour, and even his peachy lips swelled into a crimson from the amount of times he nibbled at them impatiently. was it obvious how nervous he was?
evidently, the day of kenma’s demise was the day he was going to confess to you and never in his life he just wanted to disappear. he was far too deep within his nervous psyche to even notice he was already in the gymnasium, sitting next to kuroo while he stared off into oblivion.
kuroo noticed your gaze glancing upon kenma, causing the volleyball captain to swiftly pinch his setter into reality to meet your eyes.
within a snap, kenma found you on the sidelines of the basketball court warming up. you smiled at him so sweetly with your usual wave of your hand towards him, the boy couldn’t help but immediately forget his nerves to smile back. it was so obvious how much to affected him, it was crystal clear. yet both you and kenma refused to wipe off the fog to fully see.
the game started as usual, nekoma had touched the ball first the moment the ref tossed it up high in the air. fortunately, nekoma was in the lead by a good five points, and yet that could easily change if anyone let’s their guard down even for a second.
you liked to think that you were always competitive no matter what. you were willing to turn anything into a competition from basketball games to racing on who could log into animal crossing faster. kenma always enjoyed that little fire within your eyes, especially when he watched your figure dash down the court with the ball in your grasp. dribbling it quickly, you tossed it up towards the hoop feeling the entire court’s eyes upon you as you watched the orange ball roll around the hoop before falling successfully through.
a cheer emitted from kenma and kuroo as they jumped up from their seats. it wasn’t the most groundbreaking shot as it only added two points to the score board, but any shot made by you was something kenma would always cheer for.
it continued like this for the rest of the game. it was you who often shot or assisted your team into scoring as you kept your team ahead from the cusp of falling behind. nekoma was only one point ahead from the opposing team in a constant pendulum of tying, to being behind, to catching up again, to getting ahead once more. it was stressful on everyone present in the gymnasium. it had kenma teetering in the balls of his feet as every sudden move the players made, he felt his breath hitch.
the sounds of hearts pounding in quick rhythms and blood surging didn’t cease, in fact it only worsened in the forth quarter of the game when nekoma and the opposing went neck on neck.
the desperation on both teams were evident as sweat and adrenaline left your body drenched in a heated fervor.
the opposing team swiftly attempted a shot from the right side of the three point line. you watched as the basketball spun in revolutions, travelling through the air beneath the bright harsh lights of the gym. you hadn’t even noticed yourself holding your breath as the ball neared the hoop, it was only then it ricocheted off the metal hoop and against the backboard, causing the ball to fall off to the side instead of making it.
relief coursed through your body as the ball landed into nekoma captain’s hands, immediately triggering your body to move. dashing towards the other side of the court, a player from the other team blocked your view from yoshida with frustrated sigh left your lips as you attempted to move away from the player blocking you, rising your hands up as if to call for yoshida’s attention.
the captain’s eyes flickered towards you and another teammate swiftly. you were in the perfect spot to make a spot, and yet you were stick being blocked by the opposing team. meanwhile, your other teammate was open and yet she was way to far to make a shot guaranteed to make it in. seeing that you were still too preoccupied, yoshida passed the ball towards your other teammate who dribbled her way towards to the hoop.
there was only twenty seconds left on the clock.
with everyone on the edge of their seaats, your teammate distracted the person blocking you enough for you to side step in front of them and retrieving the ball from your teammate.
“(y/l/n)!” she shouts, tossing it towards you. and with quick reflexes, you were already making your shot a millisecond after your retrieved it.
it was then you felt a major rush of familiarity.
10... 9... 8...
that same familiar ticking.
that same feeling of planting your foot firmly into the wooden boards of the court and jumping high in the air. it was that very moment that everything felt like it moved in a slow motion, that everything muddied into nothing but that very moment; with the mixing cacophonies of shouting teammates and the thunderous pumping of your blood and adrenaline, nothing mattered but that shot.
you swore you felt like you were back in the middle of a practice. from the past months of hard work was leading up to this very moment and you hoped to the gods that you were the one to make this shot. you were tired and fatigued, your legs burned at every step you took and your lungs ached at the freezing bite of the air conditioned gymnasium air. if you were to miss, the game would continue on to overtime with your ability to stay at top shape was quickly diminishing.
with exhausted eyes, you watched the ball fall into the hoop with a perfect swish.
the sound of the basketball barely touching the net was music to your ears. certainly the sudden outburst of cries and shouts from the nekoma side of the gymnasium was like a lovely orchestra as the ball bounced on the floor in a rhythmic beat. the thunderous buzzer sound echoed throughout the building as all of a sudden, you were engulfed in a tight hug from the sweaty bodies of your teammates. warmth surrounded you like a knit blanket, savoring that feeling of happiness and excitement of victory.
kenma was absolutely beaming at you. with a bright smile that could blind any sorry victim, his voice was on the cusp of completely being gone from how loud he was cheering for you. that all your hard work from practicing until your feet bled to even playing animal crossing with him despite being so incredibly tired, he was so proud of you, he wished you could see his face right now.
however, you were too preoccupied in your post-victory glow that you were with your team and shaking the hands of the opposing. to think that your usual aura of blossoming sunflowers was your very max was clearly wrong. if anything, you were brighter than ever know as kenma knew you could easily outshine the brightest of stars. he wanted to experience that—to make you so incredibly happy that you were irrevocably shining.
even when your team started lining up towards the sidelines, the setter immediately ran down the bleachers to see you. it hadn’t even hit him yet that he was basically at the cusp of confessing to you, but his excitement just to pull you into his embrace clouded his mind.
“kenma?” you say surprised as you saw his figure dash towards you.
your breath left your lungs as he pulled you close, “you did amazing, (y/n).”
in a sudden downpour of emotions, your cheeks heated up in pretty pink shades. you hoped that kenma couldn’t feel your swift beating heart through your chest as you buried your head into his neck. your rush of exciting adrenaline calmed at his signature aroma of sun-melted wax, wishing your could stay like this forever.
then the thought sudden rang through your brain that you were drenched in sweat and probably smelled like a bull’s ass. you immediately pull away as you threw him a nervous smile. “thanks,” you mutter awkwardly. “by the way, kuroo said that you wanted to tell me something?”
shit, kenma thought as it finally hit him. his fight or flight response was immediately triggered like nothing before with his usual nonchalant self was taken over by a bundle of nerves with blond hair.
he gulped, “i have to get home now, but i just wanted to say that we should meet on animal crossing once you get home, okay?”
your eyebrows furrow in sudden confusion. "um, okay.” you could barely say before the setter left the gym faster than he came to you.
Tumblr media
a slight burning sensation radiated throughout kenma’s thighs, sprinting as fast as he could back to his house as the yellow enormities of the day blended into the dark blue hues of the night sky. he stumbled through the streets of tokyo, thanking the heavens that nekoma was only a couple blocks away from his house and not a whole train ride like you had.
it allowed him enough time to log into his animal crossing before you could in order to fix anything up on his island. you see, for the past two nights kenma had been purposely meeting at your island instead of yours as he was preparing something special for you. it needed to be perfect.
he was well aware that he did not have to guts to confess to you in real life, so his second option was the virtual safe haven you two had created on animal crossing. he had spent ages eating fruit from trees to get his character enough strength to break rocks in the right places he wanted them to be. turns out, it took hours of effort to do and lowkey it barely looks comprehensible. kenma definitely did have enough time to make it any better as he waited for the clock to tick to 7 o’clock. this was usually the time you arrived home  and should be getting into animal crossing any second.
kenma’s nerves swelled for the umpteenth time today as this was the most nervous he had ever been. it wasn’t evident on his mellow visage, but inside he was could very well explode at any second. he was too caught up in his own thoughts that he didn’t see the silhouette of the game’s airplane arriving to his island with you in it.
lycheey/n: i’m here! what did you want to show me?
the setter swallowed his pride, here goes nothing. surely, it wouldn’t be that bad right? he was confessing on animal crossing for fuck’s sake, if anything went bad then all he’d have to do is log off and never leave his room again!
kenma groaned frustratingly. why did it have to be this hard?
kenmaclan: follow me pls
each second that passed of their two avatars running towards the northweset side of his island, kenma fought himself to continue going and not just log out then and there.
the soft padding of your cute character’s feet came to a stop suddenly as your read the message written by the rocks and boulders. you felt your breath hitch with the thumping of your hide going into overdrive.
i <3 u
the message had said with dozens of flowers surrounding the rocks. if anything, you were glad you were alone in your room and away from kenma as you screamed into your own pillow. feeling your cheeks absolutely blaze in heat as even your ears tinted red from the sudden wave of adoration filled your veins.
this was so goddamn cute you were literally about to combust.
the thing is, you spent a good five minutes blushing to yourself that kenma was confused at your silence, your character wasn’t moving either and he was starting to think of the worse. what if you were laughing at him? what if you were thinking about ways to reject him? perhaps ways to loosen the harsh blow of it, maybe? but he was far from right. if anything, you were thinking of cute ways to respond, to correctly tell him your feelings that you both had for each other.
you finally regained your composure as you started typing.
lycheey/n: i <3 too
it was strange how a game like this had become your artificial paradise.
