I've been reading your writing religiously bc they're amazing! I hope you don't mind one more on your growing list of requests. Can I please have a tsukishima x reader scenario where she's a childhood best friend who moved away but came back years later? And he's mad and ignores her at first but then realizes that he's actually in love with her? Thank you!

Religiously?! Ou, honeyyy, you just made me happy!! And you know what’s crazy? I think you’re the only one to request Tsukki! When I’m done with this, I have no other Tsukki requests!!! It’s crazy, I have so much Kuroko no Basuke requests, and I realize I haven’t done a Haikyuu!! request since December! Here we go guys. (Sidenote: It was really hard to not include a jealousy situation here, I fought it so hard Anon-chan!!! Hahaha.)

Tired. That was the best description Tsukishima could describe his well being right now. He had just come home from a long walk from the school after a long bus ride home from an exhausting practice in Tokyo with Nekoma, Fukurodani, and the other schools from that practice camp. Tsukishima was thankful tomorrow was his first day off from school and practice. He felt like his knees were going to give out, he was ready to just collapse and fall asleep in the doorway.

“I’m home,” Tsukishima sighed as he toed his shoes off.

“Ah, Kei, welcome home!” Tsukishima was surprised to find his brother, Akiteru, home.

“Onii-san, you’re home?” Tsukishima questioned. It wasn’t his holiday vacation time, and Tsukishima was sure Akiteru had practice. So why was he home?

“I am. And guess who else is home?” Akiteru asked cheerfully. He was clearly excited. Akiteru always smiled, but there weren’t alot of times he smiled this excited. The last time Akiteru had smiled like that was when Karasuno defeated Shiratorizowa. Other than that, all his usual smiles appeared.

“Mom? I mean that would…” Tsukishima’s voice trailed off when he walked passed Akiteru, confused to see his older brother still smiling extremely excited, and walked into the living room to see you sitting on the couch.

It’s been so long. Almost five years. Enough time to change someone’s entire look, which you did. But it wasn’t enough for Tsukishima to not recognize you. How could he forget how you looked? He’s thought about your face almost everyday ever since you left Japan for America, just to study.

Study abroad, to America of all places. And for what? To become a vet? You could have done that here, in both your hometowns. Or at least in Tokyo where there are plenty of prominent veterinarian programs for you to study. You didn’t have to travel millions of miles away from him to chase your dreams.

Just thinking of it made Tsukishima clench his fist tightly.

“Kei!” you cheered as you met his eyes.

Within seconds, you ran to Tsukisima and jumped to wrap your arms over his shoulders. He had to hold you up before you two could fall onto the ground. It shocked him, really, this whole moment. Just a few seconds had passed and you still could get Tsukishima to change his mood almost instantaneously.

Your laughter? God, he didn’t realize how pretty it was until now. Maybe he just hadn’t heard it in so long that you actually sounded… Like a soft lullaby. Tsukishima hadn’t held you in five years. He didn’t fully understand how long that had been until he actually held your body. Has it really been that long? Tsukishima wrapped his arms around you almost as tight as you wrapped your arms him just to realize you were actually here.

But this wasn’t going to last. It never lasts.

“God, you’re still as dramatic as ever,” Tsukishima groaned as he placed you down.

You frowned disappointed. Akiteru did the same. “Kei, don’t be mean. ____ hasn’t been home in five years, so-”

“I’m going upstairs, I’m tired,” Tsukishima interjected. Akiteru and you watched Tsukishima walk towards his room worried.

Akiteru acted as if Tsukishima didn’t know that it had been five years. Of course he knew how long you had been gone. Tsukishima didn’t consciously count the days, he just did. It was a curse really. It wasn’t even a countdown to when he would see you next, just a reminder of how many days he didn’t get to see you, hear your voice, or get to feel your hair against his hand.

Even as Tsukishima plopped himself onto the bed, he still felt exhausted. His bones ached, his mind buzzed, and something in his chest… It was heavy. But he didn’t feel that until he saw you.

“Akiteru, do you think he’s still mad at me?” Tsukishima could over hear your soft words. You must be in Akiteru’s room. Even though you spoke softly and a thin wall divided you two, Tsukishima unconsciously could just find your voice. He always could. Even when he didn’t want to hear you, like now, his mind just listened to you anyway.

“No way. He did just come from Tokyo, maybe he really is tired,” Akituer chuckled softly. “Don’t worry about it, ____.”

“Still, it’s my first day back. He didn’t have to act like that. I’ve missed him so much,” you said disappointed.

Tsukishima could just picture your frown right now. Growing up together would do that to you. That was Tsukishima’s explanation to everything that had to do with the two of you. Responding in sync, thinking of the others next move before the other did it, just knowing how the other would react in a situation. Tsukishima hated that he knew you were probably crying right now too.

“Oh c’mon, ____, don’t cry,” Right on cue. Good job, Kei. “Do you want to sleepover? We can stay up and talk about your stay in America if you want. And later, if Kei’s not tired, we can try and get him to hang out with us. Like the good ol’ days. Sound good?”

“Maybe. I don’t know, Aki-nii. Kei really seems mad at me, maybe it wouldn’t be a good idea for me to stay,” you answered sorrowfully.

Of course you didn’t think it was a good idea for you to stay. If you stayed, Tsukishima wouldn’t have to spend those five years away from you. Skype calls weren’t enough. Seeing you happy in a place without Tsukishima irritated him. The days apart made him miss you.

Suddenly, Tsukishima’s eyes widened. He missed you. He never realized that until now. Swiftly, Tsukishima sat up and stared at the wall, as if you would magically pop through. Tsukishima missed you. He missed your laugh, he missed your smile, he missed your smell. He really missed you.

He missed you so much because he was in love with you.

Tsukishima could feel his heart stampeding throughout his body. It gave him a bigger headache but he could feel sudden energy excite him. He suddenly couldn’t sit still, he wanted to hold you.

All those years, he finally understood why he was so miserable. Yes, he was still the same. Yes, he was still playing volleyball. Yes, he never forgot you. But he was so miserable without you, he had to pretend to be himself. When on the inside, he just wanted to sit home and talk to you on Skype. It wasn’t enough, but it was all he had. Even when he forced everything, all he could think about was how proud he was to see you chase your dreams, even if it left him behind. Tsukishima never stopped thinking about you. You made him who he was, you made him hopeful, happy, proud, but then you made him miserable, small, and weak all at the same time.

He never understood why, but now he did. Tsukishima had been in love with you for so long, and your five year absence had to be the big sign in front of him to spell it out to him.

Outside in the hall, Tsukishima could hear Akiteru’s door click open. In a few long stride, Tsukishima opened the door to find you walking down the hall.

“____, you’re going home?” Tsukishima asked surprised. His mind was working at a hundred miles per hour, but on the outside he was calm, the usual unamused look he had.

“No,” you answered as you turned to see Tsukishima. He could see your cheeks were still a bit wet from earlier. You must have forgotten to wipe some tears. “I just wanted to get something from my luggage.”

“Your luggage? You came straight here from the airport?” That was surprising.

You nodded. “I wanted to see you guys first. I missed you guys alot, Kei.”

“I see,” Tsukishima responded awkwardly. All he could think about was telling you. He wanted to spend time with you, now that he realized his feelings. He wanted to know if you felt the same. Tsukishima needed to know.

It was silent for a bit. You two stood in the hallway awkwardly, the events of earlier still marked within your mind. Tsukishima just wanted to fix things.

“Uhm-”

“Ah, Kei, ____,” Akiteru emerged from his room, cell phone in hand. “I need to actually go somewhere, and I might be home late. So you two just hang out without me until I get home, alright?”

“Uh, sure,” you both replied.

Before Akiteru left you two to be together, Akiteru winked at Tsukishima discreetly. Tsukishima had to shake his head a bit before he understood what Akiteru was actually doing.

So you knew all along, huh Onii-chan? Could have told me.

“Uhm, do you want to look through my photo album?” you asked nervously. Tsukishima just looked at you. How could he not have realized he was in love with you from the beginning?

Yachi’s eyes didn’t shine like yours. He saw her everyday, and he couldn’t deny she was cute. But she didn’t have that shine in her eyes that tugged on his heart like you did. You were gorgeous, maybe even more gorgeous than Kiyoko. Even Tsukishima knows he doesn’t have to be like Nishinoya and Tanaka to appreciate beauty. Tsukishima appreciated you silently.

“Kei?”

“A-Actually,” Tsukishima stuttered as he grabbed your wrist. The action startled you. “Can we do something? Something else?”

“Uh, yeah, what?”

Without another second spent, Tsukishima pulled you into his arms and held you tightly. “K-Kei? What’s-”

“I missed you. Alot.” Tsukishima interjected. Just the thought of you leaving again made his arms wrap around you tighter.

“So you’re not mad at me?” you asked joyfully. You tried to smile at him, but Tsukishima’s hold on you prevented that. Instead you wrapped your arms around him, smiling as you leaned into him.

“Of course I am,” Tsukishima said quietly. Your heart sank and your smile disappeared. Tsukishima could picture it perfectly. But he buried his face into the crook of your neck, inhaling your existence. Because he’d be damned if he let this go again. “You left. Of course I’m mad.”

“Kei, we talked about this. I didn’t leave because of you or anything, I just-”

“Wanted to become the best vet you could be, I know,” Tsukishima felt bad for interrupting you so much. He didn’t want to talk anymore, honestly. He just wanted to hold you longer, be wrapped up in you for as long as you had made him miserable. “I just missed you, really bad. I thought I wasn’t going to see you again.”

“And I’m the dramatic one?” you chuckled. Tsukishima couldn’t help to chuckle with you, you could feel his breath against your chest. You wondered why he was acting a bit differently. But it wasn’t bad. Maybe Tsukishima really did miss you alot. “I’m graduated though, so I’m not going anywhere.”

“Good,” Tsukishima whispered. “You owe me five years back.”
