tendou asks ushijima to tape his fingers before their last game together bc "you're the best" even though ushijima knows tendou is completely capable of doing it himself.
he helps him take them off bc tendou's hands are shaking and he keeps apologizing like it's all his fault.

ushijima doesn't say anything, bc there's nothing he can say to make tendou realize that it's not just on him. everyone's at fault. so he is quiet until they get back to tendou's dorm.
"you're not gonna hate me forever, right wakatoshi-kun?"
tendou isn't looking at him, but ushijima doesn't need to see his face to know he's feeling dejected.

what he does do is reach for tendou's hand, squeeze it tight, then pull him close. tendou's eyes are wide and unwavering as they meet his own, and neither of them are prepared for ushijima to lean in and kiss him square on the mouth.
the truth is, it's a horrible first kiss. tendou pulls back, a look of shock on his face, and then laughs. ushijima feels his face turn red and he recognizes what he's feeling is embarrassment.
but tendou pulls him close again, until he's leaning against the door and ushijima has to choice but to lean into him. his laugh has turned giddy, like when they have his favorite flavor of ice cream out for lunch.
"let's that try that again, okay?"
ushijima lets tendou pull him in and this kiss... this kiss is perfect.
