Semi pays me visit after Hichimiya had gone to her birthday-date with Tendou the next day.

"They're good?" He asks, when I offer him a seat at my desk.

"Yes." I say, sitting down at the end of my bed. Semi leans against the chair a little, craning his neck and looking at me.

"I'm glad. He literally can't stop talking about her, during practice."

"Awww, Satori is such a cutie oh my gosh." I coo, while he stares at me with squinted eyes. "What?"

"You are weird."

Semi and I were definitely not dating, and to be frank, I wasn't sure what our relationship was. As someone who liked proper confirmations when it came to romantic situations, I find myself feeling uneasy whenever he was around.

It doesn't take long for him to notice.

"What's wrong with you today?"

"Nothing," I fib, glancing at the clock. It read 2.49pm, and usually around this time, Semi would be using the gym to practice serving. I wasn't sure if it was because today was Saturday, that he was taking a break.

"Anyway, what are you doing here?" I want to know. Semi scratches his head a little, his gaze setting on the plushies on my bed.

"You're such a kid." He says, standing up. He walks to the bedpost, picks up the shark plushie I had received from my parents for my 9th birthday, then stares at me. He was judging me, I knew it well by the look on his face.

"That's none of your concern, you know." I hiss, snatching it from his grip. He looks back to the multiple other plushies sprawled all over my bed, shaking his head as he sat down on one of the pillows. I turn around to face him properly, feeling slightly tensed at the fact that we were sitting on the same bed, a few feet away.

"Hey Een," He begins, making me snap my head up and away from my uncalled-for thoughts, "Is there something you want to do?"

"I... What?"

"You know. Is there something you want me to do with you?"

I try my best to get my mind out of the gutter while I hold onto my plushie tightly.

"Um, like what?"

"I want to do something for you. I told you, right?" He says, fiddling with the ears of my teddy bear. "I skipped practice today so that I could."

"Well I don't really...Wait, you skipped practice?"

"Yeah. Why?" He wants to know, tilting his head.

"You never miss practice."

Semi slams a fist on the bedsheet, continuously shaking his head at me while he breathed heavily.

"Do you wanna go out somewhere with me or nah?"

I almost rip off the head of my plushie when he stands up and looks at me.

"Since you don't have a place in mind, I'll take you somewhere."

"You're so awfully sadistic," I mumble, getting up from my bed and following him. He continues eyeing me while I put my coat on, and the two of us step out of my dorm.

After we sign out at the front office, Semi glances at me and I give him a nod. As we step outside, he points at his shoes.

"You have to buy a sports shoes?" I ask, and he gives me a nod.

"Normally, I'd go alone, or with someone like Reon or Satori, but since we're... Well yeah. So do you want to go with me or not?"

•••

"Wow, I really did make you walk around a lot, didn't I?" Semi has to say, sitting at the bench. I giggle, taking a sip of my jugo and sitting beside him. The next train, according to the schedule, would arrive in ten minutes, and the train station looked abandoned at this time of the evening.

Hichimiya had texted me multiple times already, and I had let her know that we would reach back home before dinner.

We took a train the to nearest city, found ourselves walking from one shopping district to the other, until we found shoes Semi was comfortable with.

On the way, we had split a packet of fries and some cookies, and he bought me a cup of kiwi jugo before he headed back to the train station.

"I wanted to do something for you, but in the end... I guess I made you do something for me, instead, huh?"

"It's fine, I like to walk."

With you, I wanted to add, before Semi faces to speak to me again.

"I'll take you to Tokyo one day. There's this really good burger place near where I live. And you can visit your brother again, too." He has to say. I can only stare at the drink in his hand in shock, while I tried to digest the words he said.

"What, you want some of this flavor?" Semi wants to know, holding out his grape drink towards me. I shake my head, raising my hands up.

"No, that's not it!" I say, blushing.

"You can have a sip."

"I don't want a sip!" I screech, and he sighs, placing the drink down near his feet. He then turns to face me, leaning against the bench and resting an arm on the top of the bench.

"I thought you liked doing that cutesy type of stuff couples do. I guess I was wrong." He mumbles, glancing at his nails. While I stare at him in horror, I see a grin spreading on his face.

"Why are you like this, oh my god." I hiss, placing my drink between us.  Semi only shrugs in reply when I squint my eyes at him.

"I want some." I mumble.

"Well, you can't have it anymore. You ruined your chance."

I can only stare at him with an appalled expression on my face, while he stands up and looks down at me.

"Train's here, let's go." He calls, and I pick up the shopping bag and get up to follow him. A gut feeling makes me turn back halfway and I run back to retrieve Semi's jugo before I ran back to catch up with him.

"I knew you'd do that." He whispers, taking the shopping bag from my clutches.

"Shut up." I murmur, following him inside the train before we take a seat. Semi lets out a sigh after he sits, glancing at me as I held his cup in my hands.

"Go ahead. I'm not judging you." He says. I see a flash of green in his hand and then only do I notice just what on Earth he had done.

Semi had taken my juice cup with him, when he first stood up.

"I knew you'd take mine, so I took this along with me." He says, a smirk spreading on his face when he sees me flush red.

"Oh my god."

He takes a sip from my cup, making a face right afterwards. "What the hell, how do you even enjoy this sour thing?"

"Shut up." I hiss, snatching it from his grasp.

"You look so stupid right now, holding those two in hand." He lets out a snort. "You should see yourself."

With that, he takes out his phone and takes a snap, showing me the picture of a baffled me, balancing both the cups on my lap.

"Delete that." I curse under my breath. I couldn't even reach for his phone, because I still had the cups in my clutches.

"No. I'll show this to you on your next birthday, and you'll realize what an idiot you are."

"Please stop teasing me whenever you talk," I mumble, looking down at my feet. I look back up when I see his feet moving, and he holds a hand out.

"Drink them. I'll throw the cups away for you." He says. "And don't worry. I won't show it to anyone else."

We didn't talk a lot, when he returned after disposing the cups, but one thing was for sure.

I never usually liked train rides, but this was the first time I found myself smiling when I looked out the window.

And I knew exactly why, as I looked at Semi's reflection from the window the entire way home.
