The boys volleyball club of Seijoh were getting back into their school uniform since they were done with practice.
"Are we heading to that mochi shop again Kunimi?" Kindaichi questioned his middle school friend who only nodded. The captain overheard making him become interested.
"A mochi shop?" he questioned, making the turnip head looking classman nod.
"Yeah, they make mochi traditionally. We go there all the time after school and sometimes in the morning" Kindaichi said.
"Why not we all go then? To strengthen our bond!" Oikawa said with a smile.
"Ah well.." Kunimi seemed a bit hesitant before Kindaichi quickly replied with both of them.
"Yeah! We can all go!" he said, stiffening a bit before Oikawa nodded, gently patting him on the shoulder.
"Alright! Lets hurry before they close then" the captain said as he hurried his team to quickly get dressed and leave the the changing room.
The boys volleyball club were all walking together, talking among each other as Kindaichi and Kunimi were leading the group to the mochi shop. After walking for a bit, they soon made it. The shop was a bit small but nonetheless very cute. It gave a very calm and friendly atmosphere. Even though it was getting late the lights were turned on inside. The team followed the two underclassmen as they went inside, a small jingle of a bell to notify of their entry.
"Welcome~" an employee said before noticing Kunimi. "Y/n! Kunimi is here! He brought some friends too!" they yelled. Soon there were was a bit of a loud noise in the back before a girl came out from the back. She had a loose grey blue shirt on with black leggings and an apron as she had some corn starch on her.
"Sorry, I'm almost done" she said, looking up at the boy with a smile. "I'm usually finished by the time you get here but I made a little too much" she said before glancing at the other boys before looking back at the wing spiker. "But I'm glad I made a lot"
The boy only gave her a small reassuring smile as the team watched in surprise, since they only see the boy smile when they've won against a team during a tournament. "It's fine, take all the time you need" he said.
She only smiled back at him and nodded. "Alright, I'll be back then Akira!" she said before quickly going to the back. The boys watched, suspicious on how the girl called their teammate so casually, especially with saying his first name.
"Hey, Kunimi-Kun. You've just discovered this shop recently right?" Oikawa questioned. The boy looked at his upperclassman and nodded.
"Yeah, about a month ago, why?" he asked.
The pretty setter only smiled, waving off his question. "No reason~" he chimed before getting smacked on the head by his childhood friend.
"Knock it off shittykawa" he said.
"Ouch Iwa-Chan! I didn't even do anything yet!" the male exclaimed, pouting a bit while rubbing the place where he had gotten hit.
Soon, the girl came out with a few take out containers. Inside was foil and on top of the foil was the mochi. She gave them to Kunimi which he gladly took. "Thanks Y/n" he smiled at the girl who only smiled back.
"Of course!" she said.
"Ah, you have a bit of cornstarch on you" he said making her eyes widen a bit as she quickly wiped her face.
"Ah, you had cornstarch on your hands" he said making her blush out of embarrassment. "Here" he said, before handing the containers to Kindaichi and using his sleeve to wipe all the corn starch on the flustered girl's face. His touch was gentle as he made sure to not be rough with wiping the cornstarch before he smiled. "There" he said. He looked at the girl as she was quite flustered, making him think how cute she was.
"Oh uh..." she looked into his eyes before becoming more flustered. "Um, thanks!" she said. "Y-you guys should probably get going! It's late!" she said, gently pushing all of the boys out of the shop. As she got them out of the shop, Kunimi turned to face her.
"I'll see you tomorrow?" he asked looking at the girl as she only blushed even more.
"Um, yeah! See you tomorrow!" she said with a smile. He nodded, giving her a small smile back before he was started to leave with his team. As the girl watched them leave she sighed and crouched down, her head down as she put her hands on her cheeks sighing. "Ah~ I felt like my heart was about to burst..." she muttered before her eyes widen. "Crap, I was supposed to ask him!" she exclaimed. Looking up, she noticed the boys not far off as she quickly went over, forgetting about her getting cornstarch on her face again. "Akira!" she yelled a bit. She got the boy's attention as well as the others as they stopped and looked over. Making it over to the boy she panted a bit, catching her breath before she looked at him. "Um..." she started
The boys watched in anticipation as the girl was getting ready to tell the boy in front of her what she needed to tell him. Kunimi started to become anxious, readying himself for the words she was going to say. "What flavored ice cream do you like?" she questioned. This caught all of the boys off guard as some of them tried not to laugh, their bodies trembling a bit as Kunimi stared at the girl, processing what she just said. "Akira?" she looked at the boy, tilting her head a bit before he snapped out of it.
"Mint. I like mint" he said.
"Thanks!" she said with a smile before leaving. Once she was out of earshot the boys started to laugh a bit, Kindaichi couldn't help but laugh a bit as well which only made Kunimi sigh.
Y/n made her way back to the shop, sighing a bit, putting a hand on her chest, the same employee noticing her. "You do know you have cornstarch on your face right?" they said.
The h/c haired girl only looked at them in disbelief. "You're joking right?" she questioned making them shake their hands. She soon remembered that she touched her face with her hands and that she had confronted her crush and his friends with her powdered face, twice. She soon started to trudge to the back, the employee noticing.
"Where're you going?" they questioned.
"To commit homicide" she replied
"To who?" they questioned, a bit worried for the girl.
"To myself" she said
"Y/n no!" the employee exclaimed, quickly going to the back as well, to make sure that the girl doesn't do anything.
The next day, Kunimi and Kindaichi went to the mochi shop as usual. As they got there, Y/n was already waiting for them outside. She noticed them and smiled at them, waving at the two boys. She had one container as it was a long circular thermal food container, as it seemed to be stacked. She gave it to Kunimi, who looked at her with curiosity in his eyes.
"Um, if you can" Y/n started, Kunimi still looking at her. "Try and give it to the others during the day when you guys are practicing volleyball" she said, seeming a bit embarrassed, not making eye contact with the boy. "And also...Yours is the top one.." she said, still not looking at him. He only nodded with a smile.
"Alright, thanks N/n" he said, she only nodded before excusing herself and went back inside.
"Are you gonna open it?" Kindaichi questioned his middle school friend.
He only sighed and shook his head. "No, I'm gonna do as she says and open it in the afternoon during practice"
"Even though you usually skip practice" Kindaichi said.
"I'm guessing she made some for the others so I have no other choice" Kunimi replied
Later on in the day, the boys volleyball club was taking a break after practicing for a long time. As they were catching their breath and getting themselves water, Kunimi decided to open the container that Y/n gave him since he brought it. Going over to the container that he left in the corner, he started to disconnect all of the containers together. The others took notice of what their teammate was doing and became curious, going over to him.
"Oh? What's that?" Yahaba questioned.
"It's mochi that Y/n made for us after we were done with practice" Kindaichi said.
Kunimi only started to hand out each of his teammates a small container of the mochi that Y/n made for them.
"Woah, there's ice cream inside!" Watari exclaimed. The others were a bit amazed at this and ate their ice cream mochi.
"We should buy something for Y/n-Chan to show her our appreciation" Oikawa said, making the others nod in agreement. "What does she like Kunimi?" Oikawa questioned, but there was no response. "Kunimi?" Oikawa questioned again, causing the others to look at the dark haired boy, but to their surprise, all they saw was him with a flustered look.
Meanwhile, back at the mochi shop with Y/n, she was staring at the pounded rice cake that were waiting to be filled with different pastes and sweet things. She only sighed miserably, not caring for the rice cakes at the moment, seeming to be in a bit of distress.
"Y/n? What's wrong?" an employee questioned.
"I did something really stupid, I dug my own grave" she said before she started to slowly cover the rice cake in cornstarch and taking parts off and flattening them a bit.
"You confessed?" the employee guessed making her sulk even more before panic arise in her.
"What if he declines my confession? What if he thinks that my confession was stupid? Oh god..." she muttered as she stopped doing what she was doing and started to pace around. "Is this the end of my love life? Should I just quit and start my own mochi shop somewhere far away to save myself the embarrassment?" the girl questioned the employee.
"Knock it off" her sibling said, flicking her forehead. "Go do your job before dad scolds you" they said.
"But my love life!" Y/n exclaimed.
"No one cares!" her sibling retorted.
"You're such an ass..." she muttered to them before she started to do work, annoyance now growing inside her.
"What'd you do anyway?" the sibling questioned as they put a small ball of bean paste in the circular flattened rice cake.
"I made ice cream mochi last night and used that as a way to confess" Y/n said.
"How'd you do that?" the sibling questioned with clear confusion making Y/n sigh.
"You're really dumb..." she muttered. "I indented the letter 'I' and 'U' and then indented a shape liked heart and put them in order" Y/n said
"Yeah you're love life is totally done for" they said.
"Shut up! At least I'm trying!!" Y/n exclaimed. Soon, the two siblings started to bicker and call each other names.
Kunimi was quickly making his way to the mochi shop. Once school ended, he decided to ditch after school volleyball practice and make his way to the mochi shop. It's not like it isn't his first time ditching practice anyways. After jogging for a while the shop came into his view, making him smile before barging into the shop, startling a few customers and a few employees. Quietly apologizing he went over to the register where an employee was. Instantly recognizing him, they smiled at him.
"She's in the back in the break room" they said. Nodding and thanking them, Kunimi let himself in the back, asking another employee about the break room which they showed him to. He stared at the door, getting himself ready to accept the cute confession he got. As he reached out for the door the door suddenly opened as Y/n had opened it. The two teenagers stared at each other before Y/n quickly shut the door on him. He stared at the door, processing on what just happened before he sighed softly.
Walking up to the door, he gently knocked on it. "May I come in?" he questioned. There was silence before the door slightly opened. He let himself in, closing the door behind him as he stared at the girl who was covered in a bit of corn starch, looked flustered, and wasn't looking at him. He walked closer to her, a small smile appearing on his face seeing how cute she was. "I like you too" he said.
She looked at him, surprise in her eyes. "Y...You do..?" she asked, making sure that she heard right.
"Yeah" he said, smiling at her a little more. She only sighed in relief before gently resting her forehead against his chest.
"My heart is beating so fast..." she said to him. "I was afraid you wouldn't accept my confession." she said, making him softly chuckle.
"I wouldn't miss this confession for the world" he reassured.
She looked up at him and smiled "That's a relief" she said. The two looked at each other, before leaving in a bit.
"The break room is for having breaks, not to make out with your boyfriend" someone said. That someone was Y/n's other sibling, the one and only Hanamaki Takahiro who was leaning against the door frame.
The girl only sighed, looking at him. "Why're you all so annoying" she muttered before taking Kunimi's hand and leading him out of the shop and outside.
"You're Hanamaki senpai's sister?" He questioned the girl.
She sighed "Sadly" she said, before looking at the boy, a smile appearing on her face. "Does this mean we're dating?" She questioned, gently swinging their hands back and forth.
Kunimi smiled. "Yeah, it does."
Soon, the two slowly leaned in before they softly kissed each other on the lips, pulling away.
"Gross~~~" a child's voice said.
"Oh knock it off, this is gonna happen to you too" Y/n said, looking at the kid, who was her sibling as well.
"How many siblings do you have?" Kunimi questioned.
"A lot" Y/n said with a smile.
Bonus:
Kunimi and Y/n were hanging out at his house, since Y/n's is a bit rowdy with all of her siblings. The couple were in his room, cuddling on his bed while watching a movie on his laptop.
"Remember when you asked me about what kind if ice cream I like?" He asked.
"Yeah why?" The girl looked at her boyfriend in curiosity.
"I thought you were going to confess to me, but then you didn't. So now I get made fun of by my friends." Kunimi said.
"Oh...sorry" Y/n, looking away to hide the fact that she was trying not to laugh.
"Also you had cornstarch on your face that day."
"Yes I know! Thank you for reminding me!" Y/n quickly said, becoming embarrassed, her face becoming dusted with a light shade of pink.
This made the boy chuckle, bringing the girl closer to him. "I love you"
"I love you too" she replied back before the two looked at each other and went in for a kiss.
