Don’t worry about checking in babe, take care of yourself. Now, for the ADORABLE interactions (and I’m honored to inspire more precious work from you) can I get the following two separate? “Daichi, I really want you to know how much I admire you as a player and captain. You’re amazing!’ and “Tanaka! I know everyone says it but you really are the next ace of Karasuno. We’re all so proud of you. High five!”
Daichi blinks a few times, a little taken back by your compliments–breaking away from his usual composed demeanor.
It was true that Daichi wasn’t easily shaken…but anyone would find their heart pounding if their crush had suddenly praised them so openly…
“Thank you Jade. It means a lot, really.” He responds, “But…you know, you’re the amazing one right?” He adds, trying to muster the courage for his next words.
“…And if I could, I’d love to take such an amazing girl out for dinner some time?” He questions, absently rubbing the side of his cheek sheepishly.
Daichi feels his face light up when when you reply positively–the both of you agreeing to talk more about the details after volleyball practice.
On your way down the hall, you notice the rest of the team just around the corner–obviously eavesdropping on the entire scene.
You give them a passing wave, and hurry off happily.
But it wasn’t long before you heard their resounding cheers to Daichi echo in the halls.
What a pleasant piece to wake up to! Thank you so much sweetness!
