A/N: Sorry I haven't updated this fic in a while. I got writers block with this story, but I'll try to update it more often. Thanks for understanding.

Anxiety washed over the freckles of his face. He was frozen stiff and blocking you from entering.

"C-can I talk w-with you for a bit?" he stammered fidgeting with his fingers.

Stifling a frustrated sigh, you nodded.

"S-so, um," he continued to trip over his words.

"Could you get to the point?" your eye twitched and your tone sounded somewhat annoyed.

You bit your lip afterwards since you might've sounded too demanding. Thank the lord he didn't seem fazed by your change in tone.

"Y-you seem to like Tsukki, well not as a f-friend, but something more...?" he sputtered rubbing the back of his neck.

Your emotions were in limbo now. Of course he would know you had a crush on Tsukishima. You didn't know how to react however. Noticing your overprotective side start to bubble with anger, you tried to keep it contained.

"U-uh," your mouth opened and closed in search for an answer.

Confused embarrassment painted your face as you couldn't find any words.

"W-well um, it's okay if you don't have an answer!" he squeaked softly shuffling away.

His face was as red as yours as he quickened his pace. Several worrisome scenarios rushed through your mind now. Could it be that you were straining their friendship? Anger was beginning to boil in your veins, but there was nothing you could do about it. Steam felt like it was rising off your head. You wanted to just beat him up right then and there just like you did with the flirty boys back at Nekoma. Of course you couldn't since you would have an extremely pissed off Tsukishima on your hands.

"H-hey," you spun around on your heel, but he was already gone.

Storming around the corner, you saw him not heading back into the classroom. This was you're perfect opportunity to talk to Tsukishima now. Almost mowing down another girl as you stomped into the he classroom, you easily found him sitting by his window area. He immediately sensed your presence and sighed to himself. His headphones remained on as you leaned against the desk next to his. A few of the first years were rather shocked to see you in such an annoyed mood. Annoyed mood... Well shit, you forgot to switch back to your "innocent girl" self.

"Excuse me," your voice was shaky as you tried to sound shy, but your tone was strained.

Purposely ignoring you, his eyes remained closed as he was lost in the music. Your left eye was twitching as your patience was beginning to thin. Tempted to rip off his headphones right then and there, your fingers dug into the desk you were leaning against. Not until you opened your mouth to "politely" utter another greeting, he continued to pretend you were invisible.

"Excuse me," you were gritting your teeth now.

He opened one eye and stared right up at you. Now acknowledging your presence, he paused his music and removed his headphones. He drew in an annoyed breath before deadpanning, "can I help you?"

The usual tone of his voice made the anger boil more intensely. Some of it fogged up your common sense, and unfortunately, the panther was out of its cage. Slamming your hand down on his desk, a few first years stumbled out in the hallway. He seemed rather amused with your sudden outburst.

"Oh you can help me alright. You can stop being a manipulative little bitch with me. I obviously do not have a crush on you. Who the hell would even like such an asshole like yourself?" oh dear you may have said that a bit too loudly. The faint clacking of high heels meant a teacher was coming quick.

The remaining first years were frozen in place like a deer in headlights. None of them muttered a word. Tsukishima stifled his laughter as he glanced right up at your burning eyes.

"I'm not the little bitch here, I'm taller than you. Second, if you don't have a crush on me, then why are you madly blushing right now?" he cracked a smirk that made you want to punch his face in.

Your face was violently red with embarrassment. The panther was caged and the kitten finally came out of hiding. Mumbling incoherent words, you madly dashed out of the classroom back towards the girls bathroom.

"D-dammit," you slammed the door collapsing to the floor into a sobbing mess.
