A sigh left [Y/N]'s lips as she leaned back against the seat of the car racing game, more specifically Mario kart.
"Hisashi-kun, I'm pretty sure you're cheating or something." [Y/N] said while pouting. Kinoshita glanced at her, "I swear I'm not! You're just very bad at it."
[Y/N] gasped slightly, "I'm not bad! You're just too good!" She said with her arms folding over her chest. Kinoshita rolled his eyes, "Anyways, I'm thirsty. Want something to drink?" He asked.
[Y/N]'s head perked up as she stood up from her seat, "Yep! I spotted a cafe above us! Let's go there!" [Y/N] mentioned the cafe she spotted the moment she entered the arcade.
A smile climbed the male's lips, "Alright then, lead the way." Kinoshita followed the female towards the stairs. "Hey guys." They heard someone call them.
They both turned to the source and spotted the ace and their third year manager. "Heading towards the cafe?" Asahi asked.
"Yep, it's been three hours and I've gotten thirsty and hungry." Kiyoko smiled at their responded before saying; "Let's go then."
The four of them started climbing up the stairs, and they were met with a glass-door that lead them into a hallway.
The lights, that illuminated the hallway, were brighter compared to the ones in the arcade which were soft and low LED-like colors.
Asahi pushed the door open, allowing the women to enter first, kinoshita being the last to enter. Asahi closed the door before catching up with the trio.
"It's so calm.." Kiyoko noted while walking down the hallway. [Y/N] hummed and nodded in agreement, "There."
She extended her arm forward with her index finger sticking out, pointing at the wooden dark oak swinging doors that seemed to be the entrance of the cafe.
"Let's go!" [Y/N] exclaimed before skipping towards the door, "Wait!" Kinoshita followed behind, trying to catch up with the [H/C] haired female.
Asahi walked beside Kiyoko who smiled slightly at the two, the ace smiled as well. The ravenette pushed the swinging doors to enter the cafe, with the tall male following behind.
It looked like a cabin, but a cafe. The walls were a darker shade of wood, in the center of the ceiling there hung a elegant looking chandelier. Tables were spread out the place with chairs for two or four people, there also seemed a couch that connected to the wall with a table in the center and two chairs opposing it.
Kiyoko's orbs caught the two second years in-front of the cafe counter, sitting on the stools while talking to the barista. "I'll have one latte." Kinoshita ordered while gazing at the menu that hung on the wall.
"And.. this mini red velvet cake." He pointed at the cake he chose behind the glass of the fridge display.
"I'd like to have [H/D].." [Y/N] started before averting her gaze from the drinks menu to the fridge display in front.
She took a step back while placing her hands on her hips, raising her hand to her chin, tapping it slowly. A slight hum left her lips, "I'll take the strawberry shortcake."
[Y/N] selection made Kiyoko raise a brow, "Oh? Since when did you start eating strawberry shortcake [Y/N]-chan?" She questioned, standing next to the girl.
"It's my first time trying it, I couldn't help it! It looked so good~" [Y/N] said with a smile. Asahi chuckled before he and Kiyoko ordered their own.
"I heard this was an Internet cafe." Kinoshita mumbled to [Y/N] as he stood beside her. "Same.." [Y/N] wondered where are the electronic devices.
"Your welcome! The area where technological devices are, is located right behind this door." The barista said pointed at the single door wooden after giving the change back to asahi.
"There are only two people in there." The barista recalled two males entering the cafe and ordering what they desired then heading towards the technology room.
"Oh! Thank you so much!" [Y/N] thanked the female before making their way towards the door. The [H/C] haired female did the honors of opening the door.

"Tsukishima-kun!? Yamaguchi-chan!?" [YN] beamed in surprise, Yamaguchi was startled while tsukishima spared them a glance before turning his gaze to the computer he's using.
"Hello." Yamaguchi greeted them with a warm smile, "So this is where you have been all this time." Kinoshita stated, remembering that he didn't spot neither of them for the past three hours.
[Y/N] chose a seat a plopped down on it, with kiyoko by her side. "Do you want to play a game with us?" Yamaguchi asked.
"Count me out." Tsukishima mumbled, playing his game. "Please tsukishima-kun! Let's play one round only, okay?" [Y/N] suggested, moving her mouse to click on the game icon.
Kinoshita looked around, "Is there a game console? I suck at playing on keyboard." Yamaguchi glanced at his senpai before handing him an extra console.
"Here you go kinoshita-san!" Yamaguchi handed the male. "Thank."
"How do we play this?" Asahi questioned, "The rules are basic." Thank god Kenma has taught her the rules of this game and played a couple of matches with her til she got the hang of it.
[Y/N] started to explain to Kiyoko and Asahi, receiving a hum and a silent nod from both of them. "Got it?" She asked.
"Mhm."
"Got it." The two responded, earning a smile from the second year.
"Are you ready?" Tsukishima queried, "Ready!" Most of them exclaimed.
"Let's get this over with.."
"Hmm~? Hisashi-kun you really suck at this don't you?" [Y/N] teased the male, a smirk climbing up her lips with her eyes fixated on the screen in front of her.
"I-I don't suck at it! You're just too good-" kinoshita was cut off by his own silence after feeling himself fully engrossed in the game.
"Oh! So you're here?" A familiar voice piped in after entering the room. "And I thought where you guys were." [Y/N] glanced behind her, spotting the gray haired male.
"Hey koushi-san." She greeted with a smile.
"Hey," he responded before adding. "The others are coming here as well." His additional statement let a short 'tsk' leave tsukishima's lips.
"Great. Now the shrimp and king are coming." [Y/N] chuckled before pushing herself backwards with her legs, the gaming chair she seated on rolled backwards—it's backseat bumped into tsukishima's chair.
"Don't be like tsukii-kun! Let's just enjoy each other's presence~" The [H/C] haired female cooed with a smile on her face.
The tall blonde rolled his eyes before putting on his headphones, "Whatever.." Tsukishima responded, his attention going back to the laptop screen in front of him.
"[Y/N]-san/chan!!!"
Voices exclaimed in happiness after bursting through the door, a bright smile spread over nishinoya and hinata's lips. Tanaka and kageyama following behind.
"Woah [Y/N]-chan what are you playing?" Nishinoya queried, dashing towards [Y/N] who sat facing the screen in front of her.
"It's just a game I enjoy playing." The latter responded with a smile on her face. The two males watched in awe as [Y/N] played the game.
"Wah!!! You're so good at this [Y/N]-san!" The orange haired male complimented. A giggle was what he received, "Thank you shoyo-chan, but you should see tsukishima-kun playing!"
[Y/N] pointed at the blonde male who sat behind her, hinata and nishinoya walked over to where tsukishima was—spotting Kageyama behind tsukishima watching him.
"WOAH! YOU'RE SO GOOD TSUKISHIMA-KUN!!" Hinata complimented loudly, startling tsukishima. The headphones that the latter wore were almost at full volume, how did he manage to hear the shrimp's voice?
A frown spread over tsukishima's face, "Thanks a lot." He responded sarcastically, hinata glanced at the screen and noticed the 2 words 'GAME OVER!' were written in a big caption, the color of the text was red as it flashed repeatedly.
"Sorry! No need to be salty about it, saltyshima!"
[Y/N] stood up from her seat and made her way to the cafe, not before hearing kageyama being challenged by hinata which he gladly agreed with an evil smirk on his face.
"Kiyoko-san! Hitoka-chan!" [Y/N] greeted the two females who stood in front of the cafe counter. "[Y/N]-san!" Yachi responded with a smile on her face.
"What are you ordering?" [Y/N] asked, resting her chin on Kiyoko's shoulder while placing her hand on yachi's shoulder.
Kiyoko smiled at her best friend's action before softly tapping her cheek with her palm. "Some hot drinks and cookies." Kiyoko responded.
"The brownies look really good!" Yachi said while gazing at the brownies that were being placed in a plate for her.
[Y/N] chuckled at the blonde's excitement. Pulling out her phone from her pocket, she glanced at the current time.
11:59- 12:00 am.
'Oof- three more hours.' [Y/N] smiled after stuffing her phone back into her pocket.
"How about we go back to the arcade?" [Y/N] suggested, "Sure! How about we play Pac-Man first?" Yachi agreed before asking.
"I'm okay with it."
"Great!" Yachi and [Y/N] beamed at kiyoko's response.
