#USATS- **EXPLODESKDKDMD

[loveephia]

you heard the osausa route, time to go the usatsukki route!

loredrop ahead that includes manga spoilers!

for some background, tsukishima sucks from head, shoulders, knees, to toes in regards to love. he is ROMANTICALLY DETATCHED to a fault, but usahime doesn't care. girly fell hard after their little cute-meet moment out front of aoba johsai's entrance.

usahime didn't know who he was at the time--all she remembers is being tired from an intense practice match (as i've mentioned before, she plays soft tennis competitively). she was carrying a lot of heavy equipment/items on the way back home, and a familiar duo seems to notice. tsukki and yamaguchi had just been dismissed from volleyball practice and yamaguchi was asking the taller of the two if they should go and help usahime. tsukki unwordedly went ahead and did so. yeah, he may be sarcastic and mean to his teammates, but he's definitely not heartless. at least not totally.

after tsukishima lends usahime his help, he walks off with yamaguchi. the girl didn't get the chance to ask for the handsome stranger's name, so she goes and rambles to kenma about it over the phone with the boy replying passively due to him being focused on a video game.

after losing a round, he decides to pay full attention to usahime's rambles. from the description she gave of the "handsome stranger", kenma begins to realize that she's talking about tsukishima, the blond middle-blocker from karasuno's volleyball team.

fast-forward a bit and the two are finally in a private relationship.

usahime initiated every one of their firsts as tsukishima was still learning how to be a boyfriend. though this was also her first relationship, usahime has always been a bit of a romantic as she learned how to act in love from shoujo mangas.

what differentiates this route from the osausa route is that even when the two broke up after graduation, they reunited roughly four years later after one of tsukishima's games.

tsukishima can still remember the way she looked at him then. as he was overwhelmed with both nostalgia and hope that perhaps they could try again, he finally asks her for a date. he silently prays for just one. usahime stares up at him in shock as it is was an extremely rare thing to have tsukishima initiate dates when they were in high school. finally, noticing his change, she accepts with a giddy heart.

that one date turned into two, and after the two came many more.

eventually, they got married!

for those who may be wondering about osamu in this route, he's very supportive of their relationship! in fact, usahime even invited him to the wedding as he is one of her closest friends and business partners.

osamu doesn't have bittersweet unrequited love like tsukishima does in the osausa route, though he did have a small crush on usahime during their first year in college. he eventually backed off seeing as how usahime wasn't completely over tsukishima then.

if i continue on with my bittersweet plot of usahime and tsukishima breaking up, usahime would be ending up with osamu :0!

loredrop ahead that includes manga spoilers!

usahime met osamu in the same business university in europe. they were both happy to see another person of the same ethnicity there. when the two got to talking, they were equally fascinated by their shared interest in the kitchen.

usahime then begins to recognize him as someone she's seen before, so she asks if she knows him from somewhere. he shyly admits that he used to play volleyball with his twin brother in high school, the two known for being the best set of twins there was back in the day. she realizes that she's seen him and his team play against karasuno in the spring nationals because tsukki had privately asked her to come watch. sadly, inarizaki was eliminated quite early on.

the two sat next to each other often, promptly listening to lectures and helping each other write up their business proposal drafts. eventually, usahime fell first, osamu later fell fACE-FLAT ON THE HARD CONCRETE ROAD FOR HER. after about two years (usahime now broken up with tsukishima) of getting to know each other more, they ended up confessing at the same time in the cutest way possible: osamu made her a pouch of freshly baked cookies while usahime made him a neatly arranged bento.

they dated for a few years onward, worked hard during both their internships, graduated together, moved back to japan, and so on! atsumu was so sure he'd marry the girl sooner or later seeing as how lovestruck his younger twin was.

when osamu realised that they were both financially stable enough, he finally proposed!

so although kei tsukishima was ichika usahime's, rather, ichika miya's first love, osamu miya is her greatest love. <3

(oh, btw, usahime was also tsukishima's first love. she was one of the very few girls to catch his eye and heart. there's a theory in psychology where males have the first love theory while females have the greatest love theory.

males will have a hard time getting over the one he had his firsts with: first time holding hands with, first date with, first everything. females, on the other hand, won't see their first love as someone to miss unless they made her feel like there could've been a future: that would be their greatest love.)
