hello friends i would love you all forever if you gave tsukiyama fic recs where tsukishima is the one who has been hopelessly pining for years not the other way around šššššš
all i think about ever is tsukishima covering the back of his head for everyone on the teams serves except for yamaguchi
Gurllll
So we're in college and tsuki get dragged into a party, but he ends up chilling in the back just drinking or smoking and listening to music
That's where we first spot him,and like we knew each other from the high-school team but not really know each other y'know?
Then they end up talking and chilling and playing some gamesss like truth or dare or sm
Idk I'm kinda imagining it just chilling and having deep conversations and talk about things in common
Gorl I gotchu ;p ~~
Tsukishima had no idea why he was here.
Correctionāhe knew exactly why. Yamaguchi had guilt-tripped him into coming, saying something about how he needed to "expand his social life" and "stop being a recluse." He hadn't been able to argue much when he was already agreeing just to get his best friend off his back.
Of course, Yamaguchi wasn't even here. Some excuse about having an early morning study session had conveniently surfaced at the last second; Leaving Tsukishima alone at a party he had no interest in attending when a better use of his Friday night would be staying in his dorm with his headphones on, zoning out to some documentary about prehistoric marine life.
All he felt was betrayal.
This was the same useless chatter, the same shallow interactions, the same pointless noise that made him want to walk right back out the door. He leaned against the back wall, drink in hand, half-listening to whatever trash playlist was blaring through the speakers. His gaze occasionally flickered over the room, not because he was interested in anything but because it gave him something to do other than stand there like an idiot.
He didnāt recognize most of the people here. He barely cared to. Drunken laughter rang in his ears, a couple stumbled past him, and someone yelled something incomprehensible from the other side of the room. His patience was already wearing thin. His foot tapped against the ground, a subtle tick of irritation.
Then, through the shifting bodies and dim, flickering lights, his gaze caught on someone who was familiar.
You.
You were weaving through the party, clearly uninterested, your expression giving away just how much you didn't want to be here. There was something oddly reassuring about thatāsomeone else in the same predicament. A memory clicked into place after a few seconds. Second-year. Same class. You'd sat a row over by the window, always making snide remarks under your breath whenever the teacher said something ridiculous. He'd smirked at a few of them but never actually talked to you.
And now, here you were. And youād seen him too.
Your eyes met across the room, a quiet recognition passing between you. Then, without hesitation, you started making your way over. He briefly considered looking away, pretending he hadnāt noticed, but it was already too late.
"Hey... Tsukishima, right? We had a class together in second year." You stopped beside him, tilting your head slightly. "Never thought Iād see you at a party. Let me guessāyou lost a bet?"
He huffed, taking a sip from his drink. "Close. My friend thought I needed to āsocialize more.ā"
You deadpanned. "Thatās disgusting. Iām sorry for your loss."
A snort left him before he could stop it. "Yeah, well. Heās not even here."
You raised a brow. "He ditched you?"
"Told me he had āstudyingā to do." Tsukishima made air quotes with his free hand. "Like that wasnāt his plan all along."
"Brutal." You leaned against the wall beside him, arms crossed. "And yet, here you are. Holding up your end of the deal like a good little soldier."
Tsukishima rolled his eyes. "For now."
You smirked, turning your gaze back to the chaotic mess in front of you. "This place is awful."
"Yeah." His gaze flicked over the crowd, unimpressed. "Not sure whatās worseāthe music or the people."
"Tough call," you mused. "The music is bad, but at least it doesnāt try to hold a conversation with you."
Tsukishima let out a quiet, amused exhale. "Fair point."
A beat passed before you sighed, shifting your weight. "You wanna get out of here?"
He glanced at you, gauging if you were serious. He wasnāt usually the type to just leave somewhere with someone he barely knew. But this was unbearable. And you? You at least had a functional brain in your head.
His brows lifted slightly, but he didnāt hesitate. "God, yes."
Neither of you said anything more as you slipped through the party, out the door, and into the cold night air. The shift was immediateāthe tension of the party dissipating the moment you stepped onto the sidewalk, the dull hum of the city streets far more tolerable than whatever chaotic mess was happening inside.
You walked without a real destination, just following the quiet rhythm of the night, side by side under streetlights casting long shadows across pavement. The city wasnāt asleep, but it was quieter now, the occasional car passing by, a few other night-walkers making their way home.
"So, whatād you do to deserve being dragged here?" he asked, shoving his hands into his pockets.
"I thought I could be like everyone else our age." You sighed dramatically. "Clearly, I make poor choices."
Tsukishima huffed. "Yeah, you and me both."
Silence stretched between you, but it wasnāt uncomfortable. The streets were mostly empty, the occasional passing car throwing streaks of light across the pavement. You kicked a stray pebble down the sidewalk, watching it bounce before speaking again.
"So, are you still doing that volleyball thing?"
Tsukishima looked at you, unimpressed. "Wow. Stalker much?"
You rolled your eyes. "Yeah, totally. I spend all my free time keeping tabs on people I barely spoke to in high school."
Tsukishima let out a quiet scoff but found himself smirking despite himself. "Right. Of course."
You nudged him lightly with your elbow before switching topics. "So, whatās your major?"
He glanced at you, wondering if you actually cared or if you were just making conversation. "Geology."
You raised a brow, a knowing look crossing your face. "Dinosaurs, huh?"
Tsukishima tensed. "What? No. Rocks."
You let out a low laugh. "Sure. Totally not related."
He rolled his eyes, but the corner of his lips twitched. "What about you?"
"Oh, I don't really have one. I prefer to just float. You know, jack of all trades and that jazz."
Tsukishima found that slightly funny, though he didnāt show it beyond a slight shake of his head. "So you plan to graduate with nothing, then?"
"Thatās the dream."
The back-and-forth was easy, natural. Neither of you felt the need to fill every silence with meaningless words, and yet, the conversation kept flowing. Complaints about professors, stupid classmates, the absurdity of group projectsāsomehow, it all felt lighter when it was shared.
At some point, your steps slowed, and you both lingered near a street corner, neither of you saying anything for a few beats. A breeze rolled past, cool against the lingering warmth of the night, and you rocked back on your heels before tilting your head slightly to glance at him.
"You know," you started, drawing out the words, "I half-expected you to be a bigger ass."
Tsukishima blinked at you, arching a brow. "And I expected you to be less annoying."
You let out a low laugh, shaking your head. "So weāre both disappointed. Great."
Tsukishima didnāt answer, but he huffed out something close to a laugh, subtle but there. The conversation had been nothing but casual snark and easy complaints, but there was something oddly comfortable about itālike the banter wasnāt just passing time but filling a space that neither of you had realized was empty until now.
Eventually, you stopped at the entrance to the subway station. You looked up at him, hands stuffed in your pockets, shifting slightly on your feet before smirking.
"I like complaining about things with you," you said, voice lighter than before. "Letās do it again sometime."
And then, just like that, you turned and disappeared down the stairs.
Tsukishima stood there, watching as the train rumbled to life, departing into the tunnels with you on it.
A sigh slipped out of him, and he muttered to himself, "... yeah... me too."
Then, like an idiot, it hit him.
He didnāt ask for your number.
Great.
Tsukishima adjusted his glasses, that infuriating smirk curling on his lips as he glanced your way. āYou know, for someone who talks so much, you donāt actually do much worth noticing.ā
You let out a sharp snort, refusing to give him the satisfaction of a real reaction. āSays the guy whose biggest skill is standing there and pretending heās better than everyone.ā
He tilted his head slightly, the smirk deepening like he was enjoying every second of this. āPretending? Thatās cute. I didnāt realize you thought I had to try.ā
You crossed your arms and stepped closer, eyes narrowing. āWow, you're exhausting to be around. Is it lonely being this much of an asshole?ā
His chuckle was dry, almost condescending, as he leaned in just enough to make your breath hitch. āOh, donāt worry about me. Itās nice having peace and quietāsomething you clearly wouldnāt understand.ā
Your glare sharpened, but you refused to back down. āYeah, because your personality screams āquiet and peaceful.ā Youāre just bitter because I donāt let you get away with your holier-than-thou act.ā
Tsukishimaās lips twitched, his amusement barely contained. āBitter? Please. If I cared what you thought, Iād have to actually take you seriously first.ā
You met his gaze, your smirk finally matching his. āSure, keep telling yourself that. We both know I live rent-free in that big head of yours.ā
His eyes narrowed, and for a moment, his smirk faltered before coming back sharper than ever. He leaned down slightly, his voice dropping to a low murmur. āLiving there? Donāt flatter yourself. Youāre more like an annoying commercial I canāt skip.ā
You stepped even closer, now toe-to-toe with him, your voice just as low and taunting. āFunny, because for someone who doesnāt care, you sure love watching.ā
For a moment, neither of you moved, the air between you practically crackling with tension. His gaze flickered down to your lips, then back up to your eyes, his smirk wavering in a way that almost lookedāwhat, unsure? No way. This was Tsukishima, the king of snark. But the silence was heavy, loaded with something neither of you seemed willing to name.
āUh⦠Am I interrupting something?ā
Both of you jumped, heads snapping to the side where Yamaguchi stood awkwardly in the doorway, clutching a volleyball and looking like heād rather be anywhere else. His wide eyes darted between the two of you, a light pink dusting his cheeks.
āWhat are youāā Tsukishima started, his usual dry tone already creeping in, but Yamaguchi cut him off, holding up a hand like he was afraid to hear more.
āDonāt even explain. Iām good. I just⦠Daichiās looking for you two, so, uh⦠maybe deal with that? Whenever youāre done⦠whatever this is.ā He disappeared around the corner so fast it was like he was never there.
You blinked, heat creeping up your neck as you realized just how close you and Tsukishima were standing. He stepped back first, casually adjusting his glasses like the moment had never happened. You, on the other hand, couldnāt resist.
āGuess thatās your cue to stop glaring at me like I ruined your life, Tsukishima,ā you quipped, raising a brow as you crossed your arms.
Tsukishima shot you a sidelong glance, his usual smirk and condescension firmly in place. āI only look like that when someoneās wasting my time.ā
You scoffed, turning on your heel with a grin. āYeah, sure. Keep telling yourself that.ā You headed down the hall, leaving him to follow, still glaring at your back.
