"Ok guys today we're going to reluctantly switch it up a bit" one of the old coaches said as he got all the teams and managers sitting on the uncomfortable ground like little school children
"My butt hurts" I whispered to Tsukishima distressed and he looked at me disgusted and annoyed
"Ok? What do you want me to do about it? Some things should be kept to yourself as well yknow" he said shaking his head
"You can sit on my lap y/n" Bokuto said from behind us with a smile
HE WAS BEHIND US?
What is up with this guy?
I naturally moved forward, as far away as possible from Bokuto. Tsukishima moved up with me and I evil-eyed Tsukishima for being SO unhelpful
"Although this camp is for training one of the new coaches wants to try some 'bonding' exercises" another old coach said as he looked at the younger coach who was nervous
I looked at Tsukishima amused "I never knew coaches had drama!" I whispered excited and Tsukishima looked at me exhausted
"Remind me to never sit next to you again when we have to be SILENT and are being told important stuff" he whispered annoyed and I looked at him in shock
"Rude! I'm just letting you know something interesting" I said crossing my arms
"I can see what you can see!" He said a bit loud which got him shushed by one of the coaches
He looked at me mad as I held in a laugh
He's so gonna kill me after
"As we were saying" a coach began as he looked at Tsukishima annoyed "You will be put into groups and have to work together to complete a scavenger hunt" he continued and I held in a big groan
WHY A SCAVENGER HUNT? I HATE SCAVENGER HUNTS
"We will put you into groups since this is a BONDING exercise and not a friend playtime exercise," another coach said sternly
What? Are we five?
"Do they think we're five?" Tsukishima whispered to me annoyed
"Exactly what I was thinking"
"Ok this is a big list" he said looking down at his board. I figured he was looking at a register or something that had all of our names on it. He sighed and looked at the other managers, they all turned into a huddle as they talked, it was funny to see Ukai be one of them.
"What do you think is happening?" I whispered to Tsukishima confused
"I'm guessing they're trying to figure out how to put us into groups?" He questioned confused
"Oh right," I said nodding my head in a realising way "Why can't they just let us pick? It would be so much easier- OMG WHAT IF WE'RE NOT IN THE SAME TEAM?!" I said scared as I looked at Tsukishima and I even saw his face go a little bit pale at the realisation, he opened his mouth to say something but the coaches turned around and began speaking so we looked at them nervously
"Ok! Group A will be..." I listened impatiently for mine and Tsukishima's names praying we would be in the same group "Group D will be Bokuto, Chigaya, Ashiya, L/n, Haiba and Yamaguchi" I waited for more names to be called out, particularly Tsukishima's, but my hope was crushed as he began on Group E
I looked at Tsukishima in shock and he looked at me in shock but before I could cry about me and Tsukishima not being in the same group it slowly sunk in that I would be in the same team with BOKUTO
I turned my head around scared to look at Bokuto who looked like the happiest person on earth "fuck" I whispered as I faced the front annoyed
"What am I gonna do?" I looked at Tsukishima distraught "What are we gonna do?" I corrected myself
"Make friends?" He said trying to be reassuring
"I have exactly 12 friends I don't need any more," I said crossing my arms and Tsukishima looked at me confused
"12 friends? Who?" He questioned
"The team and Kuroo" I smiled proudly and Tsukishima smirked
"I knew your only friends were the team" he laughed and I looked at him annoyed
"Shouldn't be laughing when I'm your only friend," I said and he looked at me shocked
"That was brutal" he said and I nodded my head proud
"I know, I know, I've learnt a few things"
"Maybe it's a good thing we're not in the same group" he said and I shook my head
"No, I would rather you annoy me than be ALONE and with BOKUTO" I pouted frustrated
"Don't be so sad when you're on a luckier deal than me, you're a lot more likeable than I am," he said and I looked at him sad
"That's just because you're an introvert" he laughed at what I said
"Uh huh you keep telling yourself that's the reason why," he said poking my cheek, trying to annoy me into not being sad
"Ok you can now be sorted into your teams" the coach said as he did a big cough from all his talking
We stood up and I looked at Tsukishima worried
"Don't worry, it will be ok," he said poking my cheek once more but this time he drove his finger in like it was an electric screwdriver. I knocked his finger away annoyed
"See you on the other side" I sighed and he rolled his eyes
"Don't be so dramatic" he said before walking off to find his group. I sighed and turned around trying to spot mine but it wasn't so hard as Bokuto was jumping up and down like an idiot while waving at me
I walked over to him and my other group members while trying to not show I was annoyed. They all talked away while I stared daggers into the back of Ukai's head. He eventually felt my glare as he shivered and turned around confused, looking around to see what it was before he caught my eyes but instead of caring he just rolled his eyes and turned back around
WOW
"And what's your name?" One of my group members asked me and I looked at them all shocked
Where we doing introductions?
Fuck, I'm so bad at remembering names AND NOW I DONT EVEN KNOW THEIR NAMES
What if I need to say their names
At least I know Yamaguchi and Bokuto's names
"I'm L/n Y/n but you guys can call me Y/n," I said nervously and they nodded their heads
We got handed this leaflet that had our first clue on it and I sighed knowing that this whole thing had officially begun
This is the worst day
I hate scavenger hunts
I HATE BOKUTO
At least Yamaguchi is on my team
Kei won't be mad if I talk to him... right?
I need at least one friend in the group
"I will take natural lead since I am a captain" Bokuto said smiling as he took the paper from another group member "I am small and round and should not touch the ground" Bokuto read out. He made a long "Hm" as he thought about what it could be while we all looked at him confused
Does he not know it's a ball?
He plays volleyball
How does he-
"It's a Volleyball!" Bokuto said happily and I looked at my other group members and we all gave each other a "seriously?" kind of look
"Go fetch a volleyball Y/n!" Bokuto said as he pointed at the basket full of balls
What the fuck?
"I am not a dog," I said standing there and crossing my arms mad "I will not go and "fetch" anything"
"Your right, your right, I will go and fetch it," he said smiling nervously as he backed up away from me before running away quickly to get a ball
I turned to my group annoyed "Is that guy okay?" The tall guy from Kuroo's team asked
What's his name again?
Why am I good with faces but not names
Ugh
"No" I answered shaking my head. Bokuto ran back up to me happily as he passed me a volleyball with a note on it
"Tall, old and barks like a dog" I read out confused "ok now this one is trickier"
"Barks like a dog?" Yamaguchi said confused as he thought about it
"It can't be the old coaches, they're all small," I said looking at the coaches huddled in their little ball as they talked away
"Tall and old" one of my group members said "a tree!" He said happily as he realised
"OH BARK AS IN A TREES BARK," another guy said as he clicked his fingers
We ran outside the gym and looked at all the trees "How do we know what tree?" Bokuto asked and I shrugged
"I guess we just run around until we find a note?" I questioned and they nodded their heads
We ran around looking behind the trees with a bunch of the other groups members, it was very chaotic and hard to even look around
I then saw Tsukishima running up a little hill to a secluded tree so, I, of course, followed him. And of course, Tsukishima's big brain was right as a little basket with notes in it laid behind the tree
"Y/n you can't follow me!" Tsukishima said as he took some bark of the tree
"It's not my fault you're smart," I said going on my knees as I picked up a note, the basket was still quite full of notes so I knew we were far ahead.
I started trying to grab a piece of bark from the tree but as one of my hands had a cut on it and was wrapped in a bandage it was quite hard, but I had to do it for my group.
"Stop Y/n, you'll hurt your hand," he said taking my hands away from the tree and I looked at him annoyed
"Don't sabotage-" I began mad until he snapped a piece of bark off and gave it to me, I smiled big as he rolled his eyes "Thank you!"
"You owe me" he said standing up and running back to his team
I ran back too trying to beat him but when I came back I could only see Yamaguchi
Where is everyone?
"Yamaguchi!" I shouted happily as I ran up to him and he turned around "I found the next clue" I said out of breath as I gave the paper to him
He opened the paper as I regained my breath "I followed Kei" I laughed
"Of course you did" he rolled his eyes and turned around as he walked away
What just happened?
Where is he going?
"Yamaguchi?! Where are you going? I can't run again" I shouted distressed but he just continued walking
What do I do now?
I looked around me and spotted Bokuto inspecting a tree
Great
I walked up to Bokuto slowly as he was looking around the tree "What are you doing?" I asked confused
"I'm looking for clues" he said and I sighed
"I already found the next clue" I said and he looked at me happily
"Good job Y/n! Where is it?" He questioned and I looked at him awkwardly
"I gave it to Yamaguchi but he ran off and left me, do you know where everyone else is?" I asked and he looked around
"I can't see them," he said confused
"I guess we'll have to look" I began walking off in the direction Yamaguchi went as Bokuto followed me
"Does this mean we get to have some alone time?" He asked wiggling his eyebrows
I looked at him disgusted and pushed his face away from mine "No!" He pouted
"I was just joking! You don't have to be so harsh" he said and I rolled my eyes
"Don't be a baby" I crossed my arms. I walked faster trying to find the rest of the group but when I turned the corner that Yamaguchi turned, I saw no one "Where are these guys?!" I said frustrated as I walked around more
"Hey, Y/n, are you feeling okay? You look a little pale" Bokuto questioned as he walked up to me concerned
When he said that I realised that I did feel a little dizzy and that I was sweating a lot "Yeah, I'm okay," I said trying to shake it off
Bokuto didn't listen to what I said as he led me over to some steps that were in shade and tried to force me to sit down "Bokuto I'm okay!" I refused but he continued to push me down until my butt hit the step
"It's fine if you need to take a break" he smiled at me
"We need to complete the scavenger hunt," I said trying to stand back up but he pushed me down again
"Not important right now. Let me get you some food and water" he said as he ran off
I attempted to stand up again but the lightness of my head hit me and I sat back down scared I would faint
What's going on with me?
It brought me back to some of the bad days of my eating disorder, I felt this a lot. It was scary to feel it again.
Did I eat today?
Yeah, I had breakfast
Was that the last time I had food?
No, Kei gave me some watermelon but I dropped it two bites in too eating it
I figured my lightheadedness was from no lunch and no sleep as I had spent the night crying over Oikawa.
Like lighting Bokuto was back with a sandwich and my water bottle. I smiled at him as I took the items and he sat down next to me
"Are you okay? Do you want me to get anyone? I can find Tsukishima" he asked and I shook my head
"No, Kei would worry and I'm okay, I just didn't get much sleep," I said and Bokuto frowned
"Why? Have you been dreaming of me?" Bokuto joked and I rolled my eyes before drinking my water
"Haha, funny"
"Then why?" He questioned again, serious this time
"I did something bad to my friend and I... just feel guilty," I said as I took the ham out of my sandwich leaving it to be just a cheese sandwich
"I see," he said and I nodded my head "I won't act like a know-it-all but I think it will be ok, most things can be fixed with communication," he said and I nodded my head, not really convinced but trying to be positive
Communication is my worst enemy
I don't think any amount of communication can fix this either
"If that doesn't work though I can always be your friend" he said and I held back a smile
"Why do you like me so much?" I asked him and he shrugged awkwardly, not expecting my question
"People say that we are alike and... I don't know, Kuroo talks highly of you and it's crazy how you manage to make Tsukki not seem like some serious, scary, sarcastic jerk" he said and I laughed
"Thank you... I'm sorry I've been so cold to you, I think it's because I realised how alike we are" I said eating my sandwich
"Who wouldn't want to be like me?" He said and I shoved him slightly
"Uh huh, calm down. We're not that alike, I don't bombard people with terrible flirting" I said and he looked at me offended
"I liked it and I tried to put a ring on it" he said laughing at his reference and I looked at him annoyed "But I'm sorry if I was too much" he said and I actually SMILED at him
"It's ok, I'm often too much for people as well... just in a different way," I said as I related to what he said and he nodded his head as he smiled
"So no more flirting then?" He asked and I shook my head profusely
"No more flirting!" I said taking a big angry bite into my sandwich
"Is this a rejection?" He asked which caused me to stop chewing as I looked at him wondering if he was serious
"I've been here before and I don't want to be there again — so I need to ask you this, is your whole "I love Y/n" thing serious?" I asked and he made a thinking face
"Well, not completely" he said and I looked at him telling him to say more "It's not as infatuated as I make out" he laughed nervously and I felt a little bad
"Let's just be friends, ok?" I said and he nodded his head
"Friends" he said smiling "since we're now friends can I ask you something?" He asked and I nodded my head while drinking my water "Why does everyone call you by your first name?"
"Well, I don't really like my second name and everyone just calls me Y/n so it's just kind of normal for me, plus, I never got the second name thing" I shrugged
"Well since we're friends now why don't you call me Kotaro?" He asked smiling big
"I also never got the first name thing meaning closeness, I mean I've known Kuroo for ages and I still call him Kuroo" I shrugged
"So then why do you call Tsukki by his first name?" He questioned and I took a long hard think
"At first it was because it annoyed him but now I guess it's because I'm just used to it and it would be weird not to," I said as I tried to imagine calling him "Tsukishima" but it was just too weird
"So does that mean no Kotaro?" He asked and I sighed
"There's nothing between me and Kei but because we're best friends he can get a little... weird when I call others by their first name" I said. I had always secretly known this but it was the first time I really realised it
Why does he get mad when I call others by their first name? Unless it's the usual like Daichi or Asahi. I first realised it when I saw the redness in his ears by me calling Oikawa by his first name. I guess he gets so mad because it's our thing?
"I see, don't worry about it then, I don't want him to beat me up" he said cowering away from me and I laughed as I finished the last bite of my sandwich
"Don't listen to what Kuroo said, it wasn't like that. Isn't it obvious after you got to meet Kei? He doesn't like confrontation," I said and he looked at me surprised
"Well, now that you mention it, he does seem too smart to fight someone" he said and I nodded my head "So it wasn't true?" He asked
Should I be telling him this?
Would Kei be mad at me?
"Kei got in a fight with this guy but it wasn't so bad" I shrugged trying to downplay the story because the truth is I had never seen so much blood before, but I didn't want Tsukishima to come off as some thug. "Have you noticed that no one has walked by here yet? Where is everyone?" I questioned trying to secretly change the subject so he couldn't ask any more questions but also genuinely concerned that no one had walked by
"You're right that is weird, are you sure Yamaguchi went this way?" He asked as he looked around
"Well now I'm not sure," I said worried as I tried to remember
"Y/n here you are, I've been looking everywhere for you," Tsukishima said appearing behind us, coming from wherever the steps we sat on led to
I stood up confused as Tsukishima walked down the steps and looked at me and then at Bokuto
"You have?" I questioned, "Why?" I asked confused
"The scavenger hunt ended like half an hour ago," he said and I looked at him shocked
"We've been here for that long?" Bokuto said confused as he stood up from the steps
"No, we've been here longer than that, we came here when they got the third clue so we've been here for like- over an hour," I said trying to calculate it and Bokuto looked at me surprised
"What are you guys doing here anyway?" Kei asked
"Well, we couldn't find any of our group members and I got hungry so we got sandwiches and talked" I shrugged and Tsukishima looked at me confused
"I thought you didn't like Bokuto?" He asked not paying any attention to the fact Bokuto was right there
"I'm still here" he reminded us
"We're friends now" I smiled and he looked at me confused as he nodded his head slowly, trying to understand.
He then looked Bokuto up and down and Bokuto smiled nervously at him. Tsukishima rolled his eyes before looking back at me "Are you still feeling hungry? I told you that you should have eaten my watermelon" he asked me while also scolding me and I groaned
"Stop momming me!" I said and his eyebrows dropped into his mad face "Also you need all the food since you're actually doing sports" I reminded him and he rolled his eyes
"Doesn't mean you don't need food," he said and I sighed
"Ok, ok! I got some anyway so calm down" I said and he looked at me closely making sure I was actually okay
"How much sleep did you get?" He asked and I groaned loudly
"Keiiiiii!" I whined and he crossed his arms
"Fine! Don't come complaining to me when you fall asleep during practice AGAIN" He said mad and I looked at him confused
"Why would I come complaining to you?"
"You complain to me about everything!" He said and I looked at him shocked
When do I ever complain?
"You guys fight like an old married couple," Bokuto said as he watched us, I almost got a fright as I forgot he was there
"You're still here?" Tsukishima questioned, he must have forgotten too. I looked up at Kei mad because of his rude comment and he mouthed a "what?" to me
"Wait so does this mean our group is back?" I asked trying to change the subject. Tsukishima nodded his head "THEY HOME ALONED US!" I said looking at Bokuto shocked
"Home aloned you? How does that-" Tsukishima began confused
"It's the same concept different setting," said Bokuto and I nodded my head
"HOW DARE THEY!" I said turning around and marching madly to the main gym, Bokuto joined my mad marching
"They think they can leave us?!" Bokuto exclaimed as he shook his head
"Not happening!" I said opening the doors to the gym to see everyone there ESPECIALLY OUR GROUP. Kuroo was standing by the doors and he smiled when he saw us
"There you guys-" he said but me and Bokuto walked past him madly and right up to our group. We stared at them, waiting for some lame excuse but they just looked at us nervously
"Why did you guys abandon us?" I spoke up crossing my arms mad
"We- we couldn't find you," one of the guys said as he shook nervously
"Actually we just thought we would be able to move quicker without you two," the tall guy from Kuroo's team said, me and Bokuto looked up at him confused
"What do you mean?" Bokuto asked for the both of us
"Well you guys sort of held us back and we... are just a lot more intellectual" another random ass guy from the group spoke
His comment made my blood boil, who does he think he is? Who do they all think they are? "Intellectual" what the fuck does that even mean?
"You think you're better than me?" I asked clenching my fists. If I knew how to fight and if no one was here I probably would have punched him
"Woah calm down Y/n" Ukai said walking over to us quickly and pulling me back and away from the group, ready to scold me.
"THEY SAID-" I began my excuse but Ukai interrupted me
"I don't want want to hear it Y/n, we are new here at this camp thing so we need to be polite, we can't go around fighting people just because they are ignorant" Ukai whispered to me and I took a deep breath and sighed, he was right.
"Ok, I'm sorry," I said and he smiled at me, I think it was the first time I ever saw him smile at me
"It's ok, but now you have to apologise" he said and I looked at him shocked. I should not have taken his smile as something good.
"APOLOGISE? NO WAY!" I said crossing my arms refusing to do so
He grabbed my wrist and dragged me back over to the group as I tried to resist but also tried not to make a scene. Bokuto was standing there glaring at them trying to seem scary, he intimidated them all except the tall guy
I stood next to Bokuto mad as Ukai stared at me, telling me to apologise with his eyes. I stared down at my shoes as I whispered out an apology "I'm sorry"
"What did you say?" The tall guy asked. He was really testing my patience.
I looked at all of them except Yamaguchi and did a fake smile "I am sorry"
"Yamaguchi too," he said and I looked at Ukai mad
"But he's on our team why do-" I tried to defend but Ukai shook his head not wanting to hear it
"Fine! I'm sorry Yamaguchi" I said looking at Yamaguchi who just smiled at me smugly, what had gotten into him? This is not the Yamaguchi that I remembered, did I do something to him? Is it because him and Kei fell out?
"Great! Now that we're all friends I'll leave you guys to talk" Ukai said walking off and leaving us
I spent a few seconds glaring at them, contemplating telling them off but I didn't want to embarrass Coach Ukai "Let's go Bokuto, we don't want to confuse these guys with our unintellectual words" I said to Bokuto as I turned around and walked away, Bokuto joined me
We walked up to Kuroo and Tsukishima who stood and watched it all "What dickheads" I said still mad
"Such dickheads" Bokuto shook his head. I almost believed him but his tone was not mad in the slightest... was he just pretending to be as mad as me? Why was he not as mad as me?
"Why are you not mad?" I asked Bokuto and he looked at me nervously and then looked at Kuroo who essentially told him to stop acting mad with his eyes. I wish I was as good at fighting as I am at reading eye language
"It's their loss" he shrugged "Not much I can do" his words made sense and I knew he was right, I knew I shouldn't care so much about what others think but their comment was so rude and what they did was so mean, I just couldn't get past it. What they did and said... hurt.
I never thought I would but at this moment I wished I could act like Bokuto and not care, I wonder how he can just not care
"That's really mature," Kuroo said to Bokuto smiling big. This caused Bokuto to blab on about how mature he can be and saying it's "no big deal"
Ignoring Bokuto I looked at Kuroo madly "You need to teach that tall guy on your team a lesson Kuroo!" I half-jokingly said
Kuroo's smile dropped as he looked at me "Not so mature" He said and I rolled my eyes
"Who even won?" Bokuto asked looking at Kuroo and Tsukishima
"My team" Tsukishima smiled proudly
I sighed an annoyed "Of course"
"Akaashi is calling us over," Kuroo said as he looked at something behind me and Bokuto. We turned around to see Akaashi just staring at Kuroo and Bokuto — was that his way of calling them over? Bokuto began walking over to him happy... I guess it was
"I'll talk to you later Y/n, try to calm down," Kuroo said walking past me and ruffling my hair as he smiled at me
I waved at him and Bokuto as they walked off before turning back around to Tsukishima "You should go with them and make friends" he shook his head
"Nah, I'm okay I've got 1 friend I don't need any more," he said seriously and I smiled at his words
"Don't forget the team" I reminded him
"Ok, 4 friends — you, Sugawara, Daichi and Asahi," he said and I rolled my eyes
"That's not even half of the team" I sighed, he looked at me disgusted
"You think I want to be friends with the first and second years?" He rhetorically asked
"Kuroo and Bokuto?" I asked and he looked at me even more disgusted and I rolled my eyes "Ok, well then- don't forget Yachi!" I said and he just looked at me annoyed, not even blushing. He didn't react, he didn't get nervous. It weirdly made me happy to see him not blush over her
"No blushing?" I questioned surprised trying to hide the excitement in my voice
"I told you, I don't like her anymore," he said a little moody
"That's not what you said, you said you weren't going to confess your feelings" I reminded him and he sighed
"Y/n, obviously if I'm not going to confess I'm going to stop liking her" he said and I looked at him suspiciously
"Are you saying you can turn off your feelings and just magically not like her after liking her for months?" I asked and he groaned at my analysing
"Well maybe my feelings weren't that strong" he shrugged
"Don't lie to me right now, the only reason we became friends was because of our feelings and because they were unrequited," I said and he looked at me annoyed
"That's not true" he said crossing his arms
"That's what you said to me," I said as I remembered his words from our bus trip to our practice match with Aoba johsai
"Are you still holding that against me?" He asked remembering the exact moment as well
"I'm not holding it against you I'm just saying it's true" I shrugged as I looked away
"I didn't even say that was why we became friends, I said the fact that it was unrequited was something we related on," he said sternly and I sighed
"Ok, but you can't deny that we only became friends because we both had crushes," I looked up at him and he looked away
"I don't like it when you say things like that" he mumbled and I looked at him confused
"Why?" I asked moving so I could see his face
"You make it sound like that's the ONLY reason we're friends," he said awkwardly as he avoided eye contact
I sighed as I felt guilty over my word choice "Of course it wasn't the only reason! It was just the first thing we really "related" on, we're friends for many other things" I said smiling up at him as I tried to cheer him up
"Good because I don't want us to stop being friends because we don't have that to "relate" on anymore" he said and I laughed
"You're so silly, of course we're not gonna stop being friends," I said and he looked a little embarrassed as his cheeks went a light pink. To not embarrass him anymore I changed the subject "Speaking of not being friends anymore, I'm totally on the Yamaguchi hate train, whatever happened between you two, I 100% support you," I said evil eyeing my group, especially Yamaguchi
"Ok first off, thanks to know that I NOW have your support even though I should have had it all along?? And you'll get over your 'hate' in a few days, it's not in your nature to hold grudges" he said and I looked up at him with big serious eyes
"Well, I'm making it my nature! And my hate is real!" I said and he rolled his eyes
"Well that's interesting because you forgave Kageyama and Cho" he said and my face fell mad
"You want me to hate you and hold a grudge against you too? Cause I'll do it!" I crossed my arms seriously and he laughed
"I'd like to see you try"
"Ok but like why does Yamaguchi hate me so much?? What did I do? Is he so mad that I decided to stay friends with you even though you guys fell out?" I questioned as I stared at Yamaguchi trying to figure it out
"No idea" Tsukishima shrugged looking away
I looked up at him suspiciously, I sometimes want to know why they fell out and at times I come close to asking Tsukishima about it but I know that it's not really my business and that it also happened a long time ago so maybe he wouldn't want me to bring it all up again, I couldn't even ask him when it first happened because Tsukishima and me weren't that close. But it makes me so curious, what happened between the two?
Ask him
Ask him
Ask him
As I was about to ask him since it seemed like the perfect time, we were ordered to clean up the mess made by the scavenger hunt
Missed my chance
Hopefully, he'll tell me one day
I wonder why he hasn't told me
After we cleared it all away the teams played a few games. Tsukishima was right, I did end up falling asleep on the benches which was NOT comfortable but I was so tired. My sleep didn't last long as Coach Ukai had to wake me up by throwing a VOLLEYBALL at me, I obviously complained to Tsukishima about it while eating dinner and glaring at Coach Ukai. Tsukishima is annoyingly always right.
After dinner and having to clean up with the other managers, I was super tired so I decided to go to sleep, Tsukishima said he would go to sleep too even though I tried to convince him to play a few games with Kuroo and his friends but he just said he was tired. So we both walked back to our rooms while yawning and talking about how this training camp was going so fast but felt so slow
"We're already on day three" he said and my eyes went wide in surprise
"That's crazy, day four tomorrow," I said shaking my head in disbelief
"Two more full days left and then day seven we leave," he said and I didn't know whether to feel happy or sad — happy because I haven't had a good time at this training camp, not because the training camp was bad but because of the Oikawa thing and because I was rude to Tsukishima but despite all of that I was also sad that it's ending and I'll have to go home to my usually empty house and not be able to see my friends every day
"I don't know if I'm happy or sad"
"Same, happy that I won't have to share a room with the team and be able to avoid them all summer but sad I'll have to go home to Akiteru and my mom and dad," he said quickly trying to sneak in the fact his mom and dad were home again
"Ok we have VERY different reasons and YOUR MOM AND DAD ARE BACK?" I questioned shocked and he looked at me sheepishly
"They came back right before this summer camp so I didn't see much of them" he shrugged
"Does that mean I won't see you all summer?" I questioned scared, I don't think I could survive all summer without Kei
"No, no, you'll see me, I might be grounded but not for long, my mom might have even let it go" he said reassuring me "I'll probably get "the talk" though" I cringed as I remembered they thought that we were "intimate" with each other
"STOP DONT EVEN," I said pushing him away
"ITS BAD FOR YOU? I'LL HAVE TO BE SAT DOWN AND TOLD HOW TO USE A-" he said and I stared at him with a wide mouth
"Don't finish your sentence" I said cutting him off and he smirked at me
"You're so immature Y/n, how are you gonna be when it actually comes down to it?" He questioned and I looked at him horrified
Ewwww?
"Maybe I'll just be a nun" I shrugged and he rolled his eyes
"You don't believe in God" he questioned my words
"I'll convert" I said and he raised one eyebrow at me
"Sure, but it's not that bad," he said and I looked at him weirded out
"How would you know? You're a virgin too" I asked and he looked at me embarrassed and annoyed
"I'm just guessing" he said crossing his arms
"You're not the one being impaled" I reminded him and he moved his glasses up his nose awkwardly
"Ok, fair point," he said and I nodded my head viscously
"Hey, Kei, if we're still virgins by the time we're 35 do you want to-" I began as I mocked his words from when he asked to marry me if we were both unmarried by 35
"Haha, you're so funny," he said interrupting me
I giggled as we stopped outside my room and he faced me. We were silent for a few seconds as we looked at each other, it felt a little strange and like there was something to do before we went to bed. But there was also a question playing on my mind and it had been there for a long time
"Did you... mean what you said that night? About marrying each other if we're both still single?" I asked nervously. His words from that night crossed my mind regularly, why did he say it? Did he really mean it? Did I mean it when I said yes? Was this all crazy to think since we're still teenagers?
"Yeah, I did," he said nervously and I couldn't help but smile at him. It felt... nice to know that I would always have Kei or at least that he planned to always be in my life, even if it didn't work out that way "I might have to lower the age though since your chances of getting in a relationship has fallen because of the whole Kageyama thing, who knows the next time you'll like someone" he shrugged and I death glared him
"My chances are still very high! I might not even need the deal" I said crossing my arms mad
"Is that you saying you don't want the deal anymore? Are you willing to risk that?" He asked and I looked away awkwardly
"No, we can keep the deal," I said avoiding eye contact and he laughed. All of my questions had been answered except one: Why? Why did he make the deal? "Why do you even want the deal?" I asked looking up at him
"I figured you would be the one person stupid enough to marry me" he said as he began to walk down the hallway to his room, I rolled my eyes at his words
"You're stupid enough to marry me too!" I shouted after him
"I am!" he said as he didn't even turn around to look at me which I was glad because I felt my face turn red
He is?
"Goodnight Y/n" he waved as he turned a corner
"Night Kei!" I shouted loud enough making sure he would hear
I walked into my room feeling the ball of warmness that Kei usually leaves me with and despite the horrible start to the day, Kei left me feeling that it was a really great day. I got into bed as I thought about my interactions with Kei replaying his words over and over with a smile on my face, it was very different from how I spent my night yesterday. I fell asleep almost instantly which was not normal since I'm usually the last to sleep out of the managers, I was in bed before they even got back to the dorm, it must be Kei's sensibleness rubbing off on me
