Tsukishima Kei was something else.
For starters, he wasnât your average lovely dovey boyfriend who would go out of his way to set up candle lit dinners. And heâs definitely not the type of person whoâd do pda.Â
Unless heâs in the mood.
Dating Tsukishima Kei meant having to deal with his snarky attitude towards othersâand you were okay with that.Â
What you werenât okay with, was him leaving you on âseenâ for more than a week. But given that there were upcoming exams, you figured he was busy studying back home.Â
Even if you felt the urge to send him a quick morning/night text, it was best not to bother him. Stress was something you didnât want to put on his shoulders. Not around this time.Â
Days passed, and you had yet to receive a text message from your very-much-loving boyfriend.Â
So with your free time, you decided to catch up with your best friendâs love life (like the good friend you were). Youâd knew it would take your mind off of himâit eased you a little.Â
âHowâs things going with your boyfriend?â Your best friend placed her hands on your shoulder, guiding you through the clothing store.
Daily outings were your thing.Â
âHeâs busy.â You responded, although you were a little hesitant, âUpcoming exams are this week.âÂ
Her radiant smile that settled on her face was replaced with a frown. âStill, he should make room for you in his schedule. I canât watch my bestie be sad any longer!â
You rose your eyebrows as your eyes met with hers.Â
âWhat do you mean? Iâm not sad.â You hummed, scanning the clothing store for anything that catches your eye.Â
She let out a few giggles in return as she removed her hands from your shoulders.Â
âItâs written all over your face.â
Before you were going to retort with excuses, your phone began to ring from your pocket, it was a familiar ringtone that you had set for a specific person in your contact list.
Reaching for your phone, you felt a hint of happiness rushing from throughout your body. Your sad mood had been lifted.Â
You answered the phone with a swipe of your finger as you placed the phone against your cheek.Â
âHey, are you with someone right now?â He questioned, trying his best not to breathe in his phone.
Furrowing your eyebrows, you glanced at your best friend who was now busy rummaging through the shirts that were on sale. Her hands filled with as many shirts as she could hold.Â
âYeah, Iâm doing some shopping with someone right now. Why?â You tightened the grip on your phone. You werenât the one to panic and assume things right off the bat, but thatâs what you were doing right now.Â
Realizing that he was talking about the clothing shop you and your best friend were in right now, you whipped your head around.
Your boyfriend was standing outside the shop, with a bag. And from what you could tell, it was strawberry shortcake. Yours and Tsukishimaâs personal favorite.Â
With a smile making itâs way on your lips, you let out a sigh in relief, âKei!âÂ
âDonât ever do that again, or so help me Iâll-â You said, once youâve made your way out of the clothing store.Â
A small smirk plastered on his face, âOr what-?â
âActually, nevermind. You brought strawberry shortcake with you so Iâll let this slide.âÂ
