All eyes were on her as she entered the shop, and out of all the eyes she could've made eye contact with, she had to do it with the man whose hair was a piss color. No one spoke a word at first until someone finally did.
"Glad you could make it" Osamu stated with a smile as he went over to the female.
She got out of her trance as she avoided eye contact with the older twin and looked at the younger twin, a smile on her face. "Sorry if I interrupted something" she said.
"Nah, we were just teasin' 'Tsumu" Osamu led the girl over to the table as she felt tense and decided to sit in a chair next to Shinsuke.
"Y/n, it's good to see you" Shinsuke stated, a soft smile on his lips as she smiled back at him.
"It's good to see you too Shinsuke" she stated.
It was soon quiet as Y/n became more tense, a pair of eyes burning straight through her. Her heart started to beat loudly that she thought that the others could hear how fast her heart was beating.
"How have you been?" Aran questioned the female, making her look over at him.
"I've been good. A bit busy after high school but I'm doing pretty good" She smiled at him. "I heard some of you became professional volleyball players, congrats" she said as some of the hummed.
"Well, since we're finally all here why don't we make a toast?" Michinari said with a grin. He held up a cup that was filled with beer.
"Why don't you drink as well Y/n?" Hitoshi said with a smile.
"Oh no I probably shouldn't! I don't usually drink!" she gave a nervous smile.
"It's just for tonight, a little won't hurt you" He replied to her. They all stared at her as she soon caved in, sighing.
"I guess a little is okay" she said as they cheered a bit.
"You don't have to drink if you don't want to" Shinsuke stated, looking at the female.
She gave him a soft smile, looking at him. "No it's fine, don't want to be a killjoy" she stated as he frowned a bit. "Really, I'll be fine Shinsuke" she let out a soft chuckle as he slowly nodded.
Osamu had given her a cup of beer as she took small sips. Everyone was talking as she only listened to them talking, a smile on her face as she forgot how much fun it was to hang around the boys. At some point, she finally relaxed as she talked with Shinsuke more since he was sitting right next to her, the two catching up with one another.
While she was catching up with Shinsuke, a fake blonde was keeping his eyes on the female as she didn't seem to notice his hole burning gaze anymore. Atsumu stared at the female as he saw that she hadn't changed at all. Her smile was still the same, her beautiful h/c locks and shining e/c eyes. His chest tightened as he felt a pang of guilt for leaving her three years ago. He couldn't stop thinking about her but he thought it was for the best. Out of curiosity, he glanced at her left hand, only to notice a ring on her ring finger making him frown. Who was he? Is he good looking? Is he treating her nice? These questions filled his mind that he didn't even notice the question that he spat out to the female.
"Who is he?" he questioned, only for him to realize that he said it out loud as everyone's focus was from the blonde to now the female as they all saw the ring on her ring finger on her left hand.
"Married already?" Rintaro questioned the female as she shook her head a sheepish smile on her face.
"I wouldn't say that!" she said quickly.
"But it's important, isn't it?" Shinsuke questioned the female as she stared at the ring, a soft smile gracing her lips.
"Yeah, it's important to me and that important person" she said softly as most of the boys looked at her in awe, happy that she was happy. She soon began to blush a bit, waving her hand. "Uh, anyways! What about your guys' love life huh?" she gave them a sheepish smile.
They all shook their heads, replying with how they weren't interested except for Aran, saying he's interested in a female, making the others poke questions at him to spill the details. Y/n laughed as he embarrassedly told them about the female as they cooed and teased the man. Y/n couldn't help but feel eyes on her, making her make eye contact with the blonde as he stared at her, making her quickly look away from him and try to focus the others, but she couldn't help but feel anxious under his gaze.
"I'm uh, I'm gonna go get some fresh air" she quickly stated as she got up and exited the shop as the others didn't mind.
"I'm gonna get some fresh air too" Atsumu stated as he got up. As he was about to leave the table his wrist got grabbed, making him a bit annoyed as he looked over, only to see that his twin had grabbed a hold of him.
Osamu had a stern look as he looked Atsumu in the eyes. "Don't do anything stupid" he stated.
"Ah piss off will ya? I'm not gonna do anything dumb!" he said in annoyance, his kansai accent kicking in a bit as he pulled his hand back and exited the shop as well as the others watched, sighing a bit and shaking their heads.
"Y/n has a surprise" Osamu said, a small smile not helping but to appear on his lips as a view of Koji flashed in his mind.
Everyone rose an eyebrow, looking at the younger twin. "And what surprise would that be?" Rintaro questioned
"That's for you guys to find out and her to tell" Osamu stated, shrugging his shoulders a bit as some of them sighed, knowing that he won't say anything.
Outside, Atsumu and Y/n kept their distance, an awkward silence between the two as the cold air hit their bodies. Y/n stared at anything but Atsumu as Atsumu would steal quick glances of Y/n to take in her features more. None of them spoke a word until Atsumu decided to break it.
"So, does he treat you right?" he questioned.
"Pardon?" she glanced at the male whose eyes were on her as she quickly looked away, causing him to chuckle.
"The guy, does he treat you right?" he questioned again.
She let out a soft laugh. "He does in a way" she answered.
He hummed in response, shoving his hands in the pockets of his jacket. "What's he like?" he questioned.
She thought for a moment, thinking of the words to describe the person that she loves dearly as she couldn't help but smile. "He's brave, charming, funny, and he's an overall sweetheart. He's very empathetic and I can't help but just...Love him" Y/n said, looking up at the sky as an image of Koji smiling flashed in her mind, making her feel warm inside while having the urge to ditch the boys and head straight back to her mom's house and embrace her son.
"I see..." Atsumu muttered, gritting his teeth a bit, jealousy starting to take over him. "What does he look like?" he questioned, cursing at himself for digging his own grave. Y/n opened her mouth before hesitating a bit to answer the question. Atsumu took notice of this and chuckled a bit. "Don't worry, I'm not gonna track him down and fight him" he joked.
She rolled her eyes at his comment, crossing her arms as she tried to keep herself warm. "I don't think you would want to fight him." she stated.
This had piqued Atsumu's interest at her statement as he stared at her. "Why's that?" he questioned.
She glanced at him as she let out a chuckle. "Let me think.." she said softly. "As I said, he's brave, so he won't hesitate to make the first move" she smiled. "He's very strong" she said, trying not to laugh as her smile widened more. "And.." she stopped for a moment as Atsumu waited for her last reason, his eyes staring into her soul before she made eye contact with him, her wide smile turning into a kind one, making him melt. "He's willing to fight for those he loves" she finally said.
"He sounds like a keeper" Atsumu said, forcing a smile as she chuckled softly.
"He is" she looked at the ring on her finger, unable to stop smiling. "What about you? Have you found anyone?" she looked over at the blonde as he glanced at her before closing his eyes and letting out a breath.
"Nah, been too busy practicing volleyball. I am a professional and all" he said, chuckling a bit as she chuckled as well.
"How is being professional?" she questioned.
"It's been nice. Remember the squirt from Karasuno? The one that could jump high" he said, glancing at the female. She hummed in response as he saw that she was staring up at the sky. "He's on my team, as well as this other guy, he's pretty buff" he said, chuckling slightly. "He's interesting but a nice guy. Then there's the germaphobe" Atsumu added.
"How interesting" Y/n said with a small smile. Atsumu glanced at her as she seemed to be rubbing her arms a bit to keep herself warm. Hesitantly, he took off his jacket and draped it around her shoulders. He noticed how she became a bit tense as she looked at him. "You don't have to do that, I'm fine" she stated.
"Nah, you seem to need it more than me anyways" he gave a smile as she gave a small one back.
The two stared at each other, none of them saying a word as Atsumu slowly leaned in, slightly tilting his head. Y/n taking notice of this, she quickly took a step back, clearing her throat as she started to take his jacket off of her.
"We should go back inside" she stated and handed him back his jacket before excusing herself and went inside. Atsumu watched as she went back inside, cursing under his breath before going back inside as well.
For the rest of the night Y/n avoided Atsumu, making the others believe that he must have done something stupid just as he was warned not to do something stupid. Atsumu became a bit irritated, knowing just what his friends were thinking but tried to pay no attention to them as he continued to stare at Y/n who shifted uncomfortably under his gaze.
It wasn't long until he got slapped on the back by his brother, causing him to become even more irritated, "What?" He questioned in irritation.
"Knock it off" Osamu stated bluntly. "You're making her uncomfortable" he added. Atsumu grumbled a bit before slumping back in his chair and crossed his arms as if he were a child. Osamu rolled his eyes at this, not paying attention to the others anymore and more towards his brother. "What'd you do anyways?" He questioned him. Atsumu didn't say anything as his brother decided to make a guess. "You're an idiot" he stated.
"I didn't even say anything yet!" He exclaimed, annoyed with his twin as the others ignored Atsumu while Y/n, on the other hand, slightly flinched a bit from his sudden outburst.
"Why don't we meet this special guy?" Hitoshi suggested as Atsumu became interested and joined in.
"Yeah, lets meet him tomorrow" he smirked.
Panic was evident in her eyes as she quickly shook her hands a bit. "Well I mean! He's busy tomorrow you know? So I don't think he'll have time" she said nervously.
"Well why not after work then? We're not doing anything tomorrow night anyways since we took a few days off to hang out with each other. Besides, you're our manager, we obviously want the best for you" Atsumu said smugly.
"Obviously since my first choice wasn't the best" Y/n retorted, A hint of venom in her voice as the others glanced at each other, the air becoming tense as the two ex lovers had a staring contest before Y/n backed off before a fight broke out. "I think I'm heading in for the night" she said, letting out a soft sigh.
"Same here" Shinsuke added.
"I think all of us are done for tonight" Ren stated, making the others nod.
"We should do something again since we're all here" Hitoshi said.
"Why not exchange phone numbers? I'm sure some of us changed our numbers" Aran said with a smile as the others nodded.
They all started to exchange numbers with each other as they all started to say goodbye to one another. Atsumu stayed back in the shop since he was going to stay with his brother while staying in Hyogo for a while. He watched as Y/n was talking with Shinsuke before the two said their goodbyes, both of them going in their own cars.
"Why did you break up with her?" Osamu questioned his twin.
Atsumu sighed at this, running a hand through his hair. "I don't know, just had this feeling that maybe it was for the best." Was what he replied with.
Osamu sighed as he rinsed off a cup. "You're hopeless" he stated.
"Shut up!"
