It's supposed to be a joke. Just something to go back to normal. Instead, Tsukki feels even more off-kilter. All the barbs and snark and Hinata found that attractive? That was... not the plan.
Hinata flushes even more and he ducks his head, covering his face with his hands. It's obvious by the fact even his ears are red that he's embarrassed.
Hinata hadn't even realized anyone was being made fun of really. But he'd
already been on edge about this whole thing now and well if Tsukishima's
mad at him that would make complete sense and all!
He blinks when Tsukishima explains what was actually meant though and well
he moves his hands away from his face to peer at him. "Oh, well... maybe
you're right about that."
There's something weirdly endearing about this. Coaxing Hinata out of the meltdown. Tsukki feels his chest loosen, just a fraction. It's not like you can control crushes.
Obviously, since he's already made it clear he's interested in knowing about his dick and all too. That he's had a crush on him forever now... He puffs out his cheeks and lets out a loud exhale.
"You are a butthead but... I like your voice and your face, and your hands. I like the way you play volleyball. You're SO tall... and I bet you could pick me up if you wanted..."
he trails off. That's probably not relevant at the moment.
It might be relevant. Because it sure is something to hear all that's been on Hinata's mind. Much more effective than the... unfortunate opening. Clearing his throat, Tsukki shrugs. Feeling heat on his neck and ears. Damn it. He's blushing. No way to hide that.
"Jerk,” Hinata huffs when he sees the smirk but well… he’s also really happy. When this had all started with the most ridiculous of texts he’d never thought it would end up this well.
He stands up, his eyes following the other’s stretch.

He shakes his head. Almost managing a smirk.
"Your bad luck, I guess!"
no subject
"Are you saying it's bad luck to be into you? Why? Are you dating Yamaguchi after all...That'd make sense."
no subject
Emotional whiplash. He should sue.
Tsukki huffs.
"Is that what you thought? Because Yamaguchi is very, very Straight."
no subject
That's a surprise.... at least the straight part. He'd been mixed on if he really thought they were dating or not.
"Okay."
AAAAAAAH HQ release date for the US AAAAAAAA
Maybe.
Tsukki's keeping that buried. There's quite enough drama going on here without the ghosts of 5th grade.
"Since I guess you're asking, I'm not dating anyone."
I'm so excited for it you have no idea lmao
"Do... me...?"
He's missing some words but Tsukishima is pretty good at translating Hinata by now, right?
We are checking every day for film times XD
Being less of a salty brat who's had to put up with this entire conversation?
Tsukki tilts his head.
"Do you? Wow."
for realll
no subject
"You're trying to ask me out."
Tsukki isn't teasing now. Just looks at Hinata. Long and considering.
"Okay. Let's hear one thing you actually like about me. Don't just agree that I'm an asshole."
no subject

no subject
"Well. Thanks. Okay, fine."
no subject
"So are you interested...?"
no subject
That does not come out nearly as cool as he hoped.
Tsukki inhales. Exhales. Only talks once he can trust his voice again.
"Okay. One date."
no subject
Hinata blushes again in spite of the fact he'd just relaxed again.
"One date...ever?"
no subject
Teasing.
Teasing is safe, and hopefully riles up Hinata into a more familiar pattern. There is so much new territory here. Tsukki needs to process it.
no subject
He has no idea. He's not really gone on a date before but that's besides the point!
no subject
"Guess we'll see!"
With that he pushes up. Stretches until his fingertips brush the ceiling.
no subject
He stands up, his eyes following the other’s stretch.
“Now you’re just showing off.”
