"What's the plan, Vice?" Daichi asked. 

"Synchronized attack...but...I want Kageyama to set the ball to me." 

"How fast?" He gave a smile that screamed 'hell yes, let's fucking go'.

"You know how fast. Hinata, we're gonna run at that speed, and get to position at the same time."

"Got it." Hinata smiled and got into position. When the whistle blew, the ball was served to us. Noya got right to work and sent the ball to Kageyama, that hit initiated the attack. All attackers ran and followed through. 

The ball came straight for me, in perfect position. I slammed it down and got us the point. We did another one successfully! Fuck yes! 

"Ahh, so you learned something from me." Bokuto smiled. 

"Stop hyping the other team." Akaashi scolded, though I knew he was excited to see us make progress as well. 

We switched attacks and strategies every single play. We never made anything predictable. We switched who was setting, we switched who was attacking, the kind of attack, how fast the attack, everything. In the end, it was enough to win us the first set. Would it win us a spot in the second round though?

*~*

"Yes, Suga! You fucking made this happen, hell yes!" Daichi ran over to .e as soon as we scored the round winning point against Fukurodani. The look on Bokuto's face was priceless. He didn't think we'd beat them. But we fucking did it. We're moving onto the second round! 

I went and sat on the bench next to Coach. 

"You did it, nice work."

"Can't take all the credit, we actually worked as a team for once."

"Yall still did it, you won a match. A five set match at that." 

"I'm really proud of myself." I said. 

"You should be. Keep that energy, you got another match to play today." 

"Will do." I smiled. I grabbed my water bottle and headed outside. The rest of the friend group followed shortly after. 

"Yall killed it out there." Kuroo said. 

"Akaashi, we taught them too well." Bokuto clung onto his boyfriend. 

"Get off me, you emo fuck." 

"But...but babes…"

"Not in public." He said. Bokuto backed off and sat next to me and Daichi on the wall. 

"So, any idea who you're facing in round two?" Kenma asked. 

"I assume you guys already are aware we're facing you?" I looked at them. 

"Yep! Don't hold back either, I wanna see what all you got." Kuroo laughed. 

"Got it." I laughed along with him. When everything settled down a bit, Kuroo asked Daichi to follow him and talk for a minute. Of fucking course. 

"Fuck." I whispered. 

"You okay, Suga?" Kenma asked. 

"Yeah, just. God fuck. He's gonna tell Daichi about my breakdown last night."

"How bad was it?" Bokuto asked. none of them knew as they were dead asleep.

"Snapped a pen that I was gonna use to try and cut, ended up puking and feeling nauseous most the night too. I'd never had an episode do that to me before." 

"Dude, you're overstressing yourself. You're going to end up in a psych ward if that keeps up." Kenma looked at me concerned. 

"No I won't." I said.
