The Moon and the Frog
“I have always admired the night, especially the moon. It always stayed me wherever I go, I hope Kei-kun does the same...” — Kaeru
“What are my ‘intentions’ to Kaeru-san? I don’t know, that’s not up to me to decide for us.” — Kei
<aside> 💛 Once upon a time, in a humble school called Karasuno High, there was a sarcastic yet timid boy who met a strange girl. She opened a new door for him as they got along, and it felt warm; like a warm cup of coffee after a long hike in winter. One day, as he realized it was love, he became unsure of himself once again; fearing what they would become. He tried to conceal it, but it caught up to him eventually.

“I don’t care of what others think of me. They just can’t handle an odd one, so they pick on me.” — Kaeru

🐸 “Can you tutor me?.” 🌙 “I’m sorry, I’m busy.”
Mitsurugi and Tsukishima began their high school in Karasuno High at the same time. With his outstanding height, everyone noticed him. However, his innate arrogance intimidated them; they were too scared to look him in the eye and instead spoke in low tones. Unlike Mitsurugi who stared at him, from head to toe, with an eyes of a curious child. He sensed that she was staring at him, but by the time he noticed her, she had looked away.
They didn’t have any interaction until their first examination around October 2012. Mitsurugi asked Tsukishima to help her study, but he turned her down. He quickly changed his mind, though, and chose to teach her while also using the chance to know more about her.
Tsukishima discovered that Mitsurugi was intelligent and just needed some help. She earned a perfect score in their final exams.
🌙 “The rice ball was really good.” 🐸 “Really? I’ll make another one for you tomorrow.”
Tsukishima made it a habit to help Mitsurugi with her studies, even though she already can do it alone. Discreetly, they both enjoyed one other's company and wanted to spend time with each other, especially Tsukishima who was occupied with the club and training.
On the other hand, Mitsurugi wasn’t really saddened about Tsukishima missing their study sessions. In fact, she was happy that he's enjoying it. Furthermore, she always made sure that he was eating well by occasionally giving him healthy snacks; a subtle way in supporting him.
As the time went by, Tsukishima came to realize that he liked her more than just as a friend. He really wanted to confess to her, but a part of him was uncertain of it since they were both young. He wasn't the type to jump to conclusions instantly, he waited a while to determine if his feelings were genuine or merely admiration.
During their second year, on Valentine's Day, they coincidentally confessed their feelings to each other.
🌙 “You are everything I never knew I needed, the best thing that ever happened to me... Kaeru, will you marry me?” 🐸 “Yes... yes!! I will, Kei. I want to spend the rest of my life with you.”
Ten years into their relationship, Tsukishima and Mitsurugi made the decision to get married. The wedding was a modest ceremony rather than a grandiose celebration with only a few friends (mainly from Karasuno volleyball club) and family. He wore a beige tuxedo with pastel pink tie while she has a cottage core-like wedding dress with light pink hue.
Apart from taking their relationship to the next level, there haven't been many significant changes in their relationship; the time they spent together strengthened and deepened their love. There were occasional problems, but they always worked things out and made amends. They become aware of each other's strengths and flaws.
🐸 “Bananas for my most hardworking husband; my passionate, brilliant middle blocker ♡” 🌙 “You flatter me.”
After graduating from college, Tsukishima and Mitsurugi live together in Miyagi Prefecture. He works as a museum curator and a professional volleyball player, while she works as a registered dietitian under Japan Sports Nutrition Association.
They are child-free couple. Tsukishima fears the complications of pregnancy and he doesn't want Mitsurugi to experience it, so does she. However, they are considering adopting a child someday. They have a pet cockatiel named Rex.
