Kuroo put the ginger's body on the soft sofa gently as he didn't want the boy to be uncomfortable.
But a certain ferret wasn't enjoying seeing it.
After putting him down gently, Kuroo was about to put his hand on the tangerine's forehead when someone stopped him.
Sakusa pulled away his hand and looked into his eyes.
"I'll handle this."
He said with no emotion but was clear of his subtle warning.
The black cat noticed his intention and backed away because it was his home and not his.
If it was the other way around things would've been different.
Sakusa places his hand gently on the ginger's head and tries to feel if the boy was having a fever perhaps.
He sighs in relief when he doesn't feel anything wrong.
"He's fine... Guess he's just-"
"I'm... Hungry..."
The ferret got interrupted by the sleeping boy as he suddenly said he was hungry.
Everyone in the room stifles a laugh as they try not to disturb the boy.
Komori was there by the way and so he volunteered to do the cooking.
But his cousin stops him before he could even enter the kitchen.
"I'll cook... Just stay put."
The tall male warned as he knows his cousin very well to be unorganized when he does anything, especially if cooking.
"O-ok... Sheesh..."
The brown ferret said as he waddled back with the group.
The coach and professor were still watching beside the ginger as they made sure to keep him company while others were having a tour of the house by themselves.
"I can't believe he just suddenly disappeared for 4 days..."
Ukai says with a disappointed look but he was worried as well.
Takeda who was sitting beside him sighs.
"The good thing is he's here now... That's all that matters..."
They both smiled as they saw the ginger smiling in his sleep as well.
"Looks like he's having a blast inside his dreamland."
Tsukishima joked, who came out of nowhere.
Takeda and Ukai chuckle as they softly ruffle the orange hair.
"So who's going to represent the freshmen class? In the duel, you know?"
Nishinoya asked as he popped out from the corner making the three people jump a bit from surprise.
Ukai sighed as he calmed down his heart and answered the curious libero.
"I'm still thinking about it... Out of our practices and some matches with the other 4 participants... Kageyama is a great representative... But..."
The man looks at the sleeping boy as he continues.
"We still haven't seen Shoyo train yet... He might have the potential..."
He said making the other 3 nod their heads as they agree.
Even the salty crow himself agrees about the boy having potential even though the two always bicker whenever they practice volleyball.
Takeda suddenly gets a call and he quickly answers the call.
"Yes?... Oh- Professor Nekoma?... Yes?... Sure, sure... We'll be there immediately..."
The teacher then looks at the colleague beside him who looks back at him confused.
"The principal wants a meeting with us about the duel for tomorrow. There seems to be a change in the plans of the duel..."
Ukai had a bad feeling about it as things seemed to turn around for the worst since the tangerine disappeared.
Even the high priest was even more demanding than ever.
He sighs as he and the teacher bid goodbye to their students.
Some went with them and some stayed until the ginger wakes up.
Kuroo, Kenma, Kageyama, and Sakusa were the ones left behind.
Sakusa has a reason to as he is the owner of the house.
The ferret has already prepared the porridge and he just lets it sit on the table, waiting for Shoyo to wake up.
They all sat down in his living room and watched some movies to pass the time.
Until Kageyama asks a question that makes everyone curious since from the beginning.
"It's rare to see Sakusa-san hug someone... How did Shoyo know the way to your house?"
"........................... GPS........."
"Huh?"
