After practice, you meet up with Kiyoko since she wanted to walk with you.

"Hey Kiyoko, wait up!" you call out to her while walking over.

She turns around to wait for you. As the pair of you walk off campus, she starts a conversation.

"Y/N just so you know, I asked to walk with you because I wanted to talk to you about something."

"Yeah? What is it, Kiyoko?" you ask a bit nervous about her question.

"I don't live this way," she says unconcernedly.

"U-Uh was that really what you wanted to talk to me about?"

"No. I also wanted to tell you that I'm just going to walk to Sakanoshita with you."

"Kiyoko!" you groan, "That's great and all but seriously, what is it you wanted to say to me?"

You look over at Kiyoko and see her calm expression remain the same. You study her face as she continues to look straight ahead.

"How do you feel about Tsukishima and Kuroo?"

"U-Um I don't... Why are you asking me that?"

Kiyoko looks back over at you.

"You know why I'm asking you that," she replies "just answer the question."

"I was being serious before when I said it wasn't a date with Kuroo yesterday," you complain.

"Fine, then it's Tsukishima you like, right?"

"No! Why would you think that?"

"I mean you hated him a couple of weeks ago and now it seems as though that hatred is gone and you rejected a super cute guy that's totally into you so I was just wondering."

Damn, she kinda nailed that.

"I don't really know," you tell her as you look down "because Tsukishima basically only ever yells at me."

"Y/N Tsukishima never yells at me like that. He cares about you. Why do you think he worried so much about you being around Kuroo?"

I guess that would make sense, but there's no way Stupidshima would ever have feelings for anything, let alone me.

"He did make me promise to stay away from Kuroo when we last went to Tokyo," you quietly tell her, "but I don't see how Tsukishima would have known Kuroo's intentions."

You think back to how you saw Kuroo say something to Tsukishima during their last practice game.

"You're smart, Y/N," Kiyoko tells you "you'll figure your feelings out."

Later that night you're at home with your brother. As you walk into the family room you see Keishin watching something on tv while his legs are placed on the table in front, blocking your path.

"Move your feet, dumbass," you yell at him.

"Go around," he groans back.

You scoff and kick his legs down. As you walk past, you sit on the other side of the couch from him.

"What are you even watching?"

"I dunno, it came on after the volleyball game ended and I just left it on."

As you're about to call him out for how idiotic that sounds, you feel your phone buzz from your pocket. You take it out and see that Kuroo has texted you.

"Great," you mutter.

"What's wrong?" your brother asks.

"Nothing."

You look up from your phone to see your brother staring at you.

"Why are you being so weird?"

"Just tell me, Y/N," he asks again.

"Damn you're so annoying Keishin."

You begin to explain to your brother that you went out with Kuroo yesterday.

"That Nekoma captain?" he asks as he holds in his laughter.

"Yes, and it's not funny, Keishin! Now he's texting me and I don't know what to say."

Keishin immediately bursts out in laugher.

"How did Tsukishima take that?" he asks, still laughing at your situation.

"Why does it matter?" you pout.

"Don't give me that shit, Y/N," he replies seriously.

"Tsukishima and I are just friends! Stop making it seem like it's more than that!"

"So it's not more than that?" he asks curiously.

"N-No..."

"You're stuttering, Y/N. Just admit it!"

"Shut up, Keishin!"

"So then you like Kuroo?" he teases again.

"You're so damn annoying. Why do I even talk to you," you groan, "I made it perfectly clear to Kuroo that he and I are just friends."

You think back to how Tsukishima helped you study and sat to comfort you after you were angry awhile back.

"Suuure," he taunts.

"Fine," you groan, "maybe I do like Tsukishima, but I don't know yet, okay?"

"Knew it!"

"Shut the hell up!"

Keishin laughs at your response.

"You should tell him," he smirks.

"No shit."

At lunch the next day, Tadashi comes over to sit with you.

"Hey, Tadashi!"

"Hi," he quietly replies.

"What's wrong?" you ask.

You look over to see Tsukishima sitting by himself in his usual seat.

"Tsukishima's not coming over to sit with us?"

You turn your head back to Tadashi to wait for his response.

Tadashi shakes his head. "No."

"Is he still mad at me?" you ask nervously.

"I don't know. I think he's just grouchy today," he shrugs.

You look back over at Tsukishima and think about how Kiyoko and Keishin both told you that you need to talk to Tsukishima about your feelings. As you look back towards Tadashi, you decide to ask him for advice.

"Tadashi can I ask you something serious?"

"S-Sure is everything okay, Y/N?"

"Yeah I'm fine, don't worry," you smile at him.

You take in a deep breath, trying to collect your confidence.

"I think that I might like Tsukishima," you say quietly "but I don't know how to talk to him about it."

"Y-Y/N are you serious?"

You nod at him.

"Yes but please be a bit quieter. I don't want him to find out."

"S-Sorry," he says as he lowers his voice "well if you want my opinion I think you should just straight up tell him before he gets even more upset about you and Kuroo."

"W-What do you mean by that, Tadashi?"

Before Tadashi can respond, you look up to see Tsukishima standing next to you.

"Hey, Y/N can I talk to you quickly?"

You look back over to Tadashi, flashing him a quick help face.

I should just get this over with.

You turn to face Tsukishima and stand up, only partially ready to have your talk with him.
