He was salty

She was sweet

It was that way since the day they meet

An unlikely couple

An odd pair

But now they were together everywhere

Official they may have been not

And no it wasn't as if they forgot

They were waiting for the right time

Because their relationship wasn't a mime

Salty and sweet

Sweet and salty

An iconic pair

A taste lingering and fair

Just like Kei and y/n

Just like l/n and Tsukishima

Together they were explosive

Together they were beautiful

"Kei?" You yawned , turning around to face him.

"You called me your girlfriend didn't you...

Yesterday I mean."

Tsukishima shook his head, pretending not to know about the situation. But in reality he remembered. He remembered very well indeed.

"Did I ? Hmm I don't seem to remember shortcake." He smiled at you. Trying to avoid the awkwardness.

"Yes you did , don't lie Tsuki. I'm not stupi-" You were interrupted by the ring of a phone.

You turned around and picked it up.

"Y/n , where the hell have you been. I've been worried sick. You didn't even send me a text. Did I say I was worried sick? Because I've been worried sick." Yachi then started speaking faster and faster, since Japanese wasn't exactly your first language you struggled to understand her a bit.

"Hitoka? Slow down babe, I can't understand. Yeah I'm fine... I'm with someone right now do you mind if I call you back."

"With who y/n ? Is it a boy? Oh my god please tell me it's a boy." Yachi practically squeelrd through the phone.

Tsukishima chuckled at Yachi. After all these years she still cared and worried about people more than she did herself.

"Y/n... why the heck do I recognise that chuckle."

"No you don't Hitoka."

"Yes I do."

"Yes she does."

"Kei you were meant to keep quiet. I was going to surprise her later on in the day." You moaned.

"Oh sorry shortcake." He smirked at you.

"Kei? Kei Tsukishima? Y/n, why didn't you tell me? Kei why didn't you tell me? Or at least why didn't you tell Tadashi."

"Urm because we aren't dating." You said to her.

"Yet." Tsukishima added bluntly.

"Yeah what he said." You added onto him.

"You have to tell me everything later y/n. Anyways I have to go, I'll see you tonight. Or not...." she giggled before ending the call.

"Remind me to thank Yachi for bringing you to me." Tsukishima said to you , kissing you lightly on the head.

"If anything. I should be the one thanking her Kei. You're amazing." You giggled snuggling in closer to him.

He leaned in for a kiss, and you placed a loving one on his lips.

Short but sweet.

"Your breath stinks." Tsukishima laughed at you, causing you to pout.

"It stinks huh?" You snickered, a wicked smile forming on your face.

"Mmm, sorry shortcake but you have really bad morning breath-" before he could even finish his sentence you pounced on him attacking him with kisses.

"I have bad morning breath? Oh guess I'll have to make you have bad morning breath too." You said in between kisses, peppering him in them.

Tsukishima chuckled slightly, "your breath still stinks."

"Yours ain't any better beanstalk." You smiled still showering him in kisses.

"Man y/n , your killing me literally."

You ignored him and continued to kiss him with your morning breath. "I guess now we both have stinky breath." You announced getting up off of him and rummaging through your bag. Once finding what you were looking for you headed towards the bathroom and ran the tap.

"Y/n what you doing?" A curious Kei asked making his way to the bathroom. He then found you brushing your teeth.

"Hey where'd you get the toothbrush from."

"My sweet dearest Kei , a girl is always prepared for the most unlikely of situations....

My toothbrush goes everywhere with me. I also carry a pack of gum, mints and perfume wherever I go. You will never catch me lacking in the smelling department."

"I literally just did."

"Fuck you Tsukishima Kei."

"If you want too all you gotta do is ask shortcake."

"I- damn Kei , your killing me." You went up on your tiptoes giving him a quick peck.

"Oof Kei , your breath stinks sort it out." You said dramatically, wafting your hands around your face to empathise it.

Tsukishima groaned grabbing his toothbrush and toothpaste.

Both of you started brushing your teeth and for some strange reason it was kind of awkward.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

"I won. Tsukishima smirked at you, mouth covered with suds from the toothpaste."

"Whatever." You muttered whilst washing your face.

You let out a little giggle before walking out of the bathroom and back into his bedroom.

"So what do you wanna do?" You asked him

"You."

"What?"

"To- to the cafe, let's go to the cafe. You can wear my clothes if you want."

"Mm sure," you said blantanly ignoring his first request. "Lemme just shower really quickly." You smiled to yourself a little bit, just enough so he couldn't notice how much the little things he said effected you.

——-

You were now wearing Tsukishima's clothes and looked.

Well...

Let's say you looked like something?

"Kei I look fucking horrendous."

"I think you look cute shortcake."

The clothes were way too big. In fact they barely clung onto your body. Every couple of seconds you had to pull up the joggers and well his shirt... That was practically a dress on you.

"Of course you'd say that... Let's just go already." You giggled walking over to the door, and slipping on your shoes.

"Hey shortcake. Wait for me..." Tsukishima said, his long arms grabbing you and pulling you into his embrace.

————-

"Kei?" You asked

"Hmmm?" He hummed , his hand in yours.

"This isn't the way to the cafe."

"Because we aren't going to the cafe shortcake."

"Oh?"

"We're going to the park."

"The park?"

"The one I took you too on our first date."

"That was ages ago Kei, I can't believe you remember."

"Of course I remember shortcake. Also I love your hair."

You had your hair in two cute Afro puffs with jumbo clips. You had taken out your braids a few days and you were switching between wigs and hair pieces. This was the first time you went out fully natural in a while.

"You do?"

"I do. You look cute with your natural hair."

"Th- thanks Kei..." You were flustered at his statement. "Not many people complimented your natural hair properly. It was always, when are you putting your braids in. You should get a wig. Straighten it. Never , I love your hair. Or it's cute.

"What?" He asked bluntly. "Your staring at me..."

"Nothing Kei." You smiled.

He pulled you closer to him, as you both walked to the little park. It was daytime this time around , so you could see everything clearly.

"Hmm this park really is cute." You giggled , taking in your surroundings.

"Mmm it is." Tsukishima said before guiding you to the tire swing.

You both sat down, engrossing in deep conversations about everything and nothing at the same time.

"I'm going to buy you ice cream."

"No you're not shortcake."

"Yes I am. There are other things out there. Things a lot better then shortcake."

"But shortcake is my favourite, shortcake."

"Yeah but-"

He pulled you closer to him and brought his lips up to your ear. He whispered,

"No buts. I only want shortcake. Always and forever."

For some weird reason it didn't feel like he was talking about the food anymore. Your body heat rose and a daft smile formed on your face.

"I'm still getting you ice cream later. We could probably get a strawberry shortcake flavour."

"Fine. Don't tell Tadashi I gave in this easily. "

"My lips are sealed Tsukki."

————-

After the park, you both made your way down to the little cafe. The one where you first met.

"Shortcake?" He asked.

"Shortcake." You confirmed.

He went up to the till whilst you got a table. A couple of minutes later he joined you, a strawberry milkshake in one hand and a coffee in the other.

"For you." He handed it over to you before taking a seat opposite you.

"Thanks Kei." You beamed before taking a long slurp from the drink.

"Damn this is so good. Want some babe?"

"I'm good." Tsukishima said, sipping his black coffee.

"Black coffee is kinda bitter ya know."

"That's why I like it shortcake."

"Kei , your so weird." You said taking another sip from your drink. A slight mmm, escaped your lips causing Tsukishima to chuckle.

Less than a second later, a waitress appeared with your food.

"2 strawberry shortcakes?"

You nodded and confirmed the order. She placed it down before giving you a nice smile. "Thanks." You said to her. She bowed before leaving the table.

Tsukishima handed you the bigger slice of cake and smirked. "I saw you eyeing that piece, the second the waitress brought it over."

"You're such a fat ass y/n." He joked.

(Please this is a quote from the anime AND A JOKE no one get offended please!!!!)

"No but my ass is fat." You joked along with him before taking a bite of cake.

"Y/n?"

"Hmm." You hummed , mouth full of cake.

"I like you a lot."

"Yeah I know Kei."

"And..."

"And?"

"Well..."

"Well? Tsukishima Kei are you nervous."

Tsukishima blushed, before vigorously shaking his head.

"Now why would I. Kei Tsukishima be nervous."

"Hmm, I wonder why." You smirked, looking him directly in the eye. A slight chuckle escaped your lips before you took a sip from your milkshake.

"Okay but for real y/n. I need to ask you something important."

"Okay what is it Kei..."
