The Dr made Daichi rest for a bit before he could return to the court. When he was finally released the two of you left and made your way back towards the team. You were walking and chatting when a tall bedhead approached looking rather glum.

"Hey man, glad to see your okay" Kuroo said with a half-smile, he extended his hand towards Daichi.

"Thanks, looks worse than it is" Daichi chuckled and shook Kuroo's hand. Kuroo looked at you and stood there awkwardly for a minute before clearing his throat.

"Can we take that walk now?" He asked.

"Of course. I'll come find you guys in a bit, get back to the team before they lose it in there" you joked squeezing Daichis hand before letting go and following Kuroo. Daichi watched as you walked away, a pang of jealousy twisting his stomach in knots.

The walk with Kuroo was quiet, the two of you strolled along the outside of the large arena hand in hand. The breeze was nice and you were thankful for that, after the stress of seeing Daichi hurt it felt nice to breathe fresh air.

"You okay?" Kuroo asked breaking the silence.

"Yes?" you asked looking at him confused.

"You seemed really freaked when he got hurt, I've never seen that look on your face, freaked me out" he explained, he looked forward and his face was tense.

"I'm sorry I worried you, I think fear just took over and my brain was focused on one thing. I didn't mean to leave you, thank you for being patient and waiting for me" you stopped walking and turned towards him.

"I just wonder if you would react that same way if it was me that got hurt" you could hear the jealousy in his voice, and his words were filled with insecurities.

"Are you joking??? Of course I would!" You said in a raised voice. "I probably would've jumped from the balcony just to be to you sooner, don't be an idiot!"

"I was only joking don't get upset!" he laughed shaking his head, you could tell he was lying but decided not to press the subject further.

"Maybe being a comedian isn't the job for you because you are not all that funny" you said rolling your eyes.

"So pretty even when your mad, it kills me" He said playfully pulling you by your hand towards him. He leaned down to give you a kiss but froze when your phone started ringing.

"Uggghhhhhh hold on" you groaned fishing it out of your pocket "Its my mom" you said as you slid the talk button. "Hello?" you asked annoyed.

"Hello honey, I was calling to see where you are?" she asked.

"I told you we have more games today, trying to get into Nationals remember?" you asked annoyed.

"Oh yes the silly volleyball stuff. Well never mind that I need you to go home, those guests I told you about are on their way." She explained.

"You said it was supposed to be next week!" you complained.

"Yes well plans changed and they needed to clear out sooner, so I need you to go home and make them comfortable. Hurry now, no arguing" she said before ending the phone call.

"Everything okay?" Kuroo asked.

"No I need to go home, those guys are coming today apparently not next week so I've gotta go get them settled. I need to go see the guys real quick before I leave, guess we will have to take the train, unless you would rather go to your home tonight?" you asked.

"I think I might need to, need some clean clothes and all. I will just call you later okay?" he leaned in and kissed your cheek before walking off.

"Damnit" you cursed under your breath watching him walk away. You knew he had to be hurt about the whole Daichi situation but it couldn't be helped right now so you made your way into the gym to find the team.

You found them sitting up in the stands watching the game of Aoba Johsai and Date Tech take place, whoever the winner was would be who your team would end up facing in the semifinals. Stopping next to the rail you peered down watching the game unfold when Oikawa caught your attention with a powerful serve. You watched his form closely, admiring how powerful it was, he really was an excellent player which you hated to admit.

Feeling like someone was watching him closely he looked up and met eyes with you and smiled. He gave you a quick wink and blew you a kiss, you rolled your eyes and laughed in response. Moving away from the rail you stood next to Ukai and caught the teams attention.

"So I've got to run home to great some guests that my parents are having stay at the house with me. I'm probably not going to make it back in time for the game, so please keep me updated. I also just want to say that I really believe in you guys and make me proud!" you said very chipper.

"You really cant stay???" Hinata jumped to his feet, his face in a deep frown.

"I wish that I could but its out of my control at the moment. Anybody who wants to come over after the game though is welcome, you know I have plenty of room." You said with a laugh.

"Where is that rooster headed boy?" Ukai asked.

"He decided to go home" you tried to hide the sadness but your face dropped slightly.

"Okay, lets go" Ukai said standing up.

"What?" you asked looking at him very confused.

"I'm going to walk you to the train station, I cant drive you back with our game coming up shortly so I need to make sure you at least get to the train safely. You guys stay ready, ill be back soon" he said turning towards the team.

"I can walk her Coach so you don't have to" Daichi said standing to his feet.

"No you need to rest more, and I cant risk you getting hurt. Ill be back soon" Ukai grabbed your hand in his and walked quickly away from the group. Once outside of the building he slowed his pace, walking beside you, his hand still holding yours.

"You really didn't have to walk me, the train station isn't all that far" you laughed squeezing his hand.

"I know that, you are fully capable of going by yourself but I wanted an excuse to talk to you alone. I noticed how sad you looked so I wanted to make sure you were okay?" he inquired.

"Yes I'm good" you said with a half smile.

"You don't have to lie to me, or not tell me to protect my feelings, I'm not one of these boys who cant seem to live without you for two seconds." He said in his usual grumpy voice.

"Are you saying you can live without me?" you teased.

"I definitely didn't say that, I just said I'm not one of these little boys. I can handle hearing your actual feelings and struggles is all I'm saying" he glanced to the side at you.

"Well fine then, I seem to be romantically interested in more than one guy at the moment and I don't know how to balance it. I went into all of this with the intention of just having fun and going with the flow but now they have real feelings and so do i." the truth spilled from your lips in a rush.

"How many guys are we talking?" he asked.

"Id say seven, really two are stronger than the others and one is more of just a friend but the more I see of him the more I like. one is an ex and one is just fun to be around and one I hate but like at the same time. The last one is considered off limits at the moment but that hasn't stopped me from developing feelings for him" you looked him directly in the eyes as you explained the last option.

"Have yourself a very interesting harem huh" he laughed "I can't even begin to pretend like I know what you should do in this situation, my best advice is leave the guilt and sadness behind though. Focus more on the positive and building each until you find out which one just fits. Or who knows maybe they wont mind all being yours forever, I know I wouldn't mind it." He said with a cocky half smile.

"Id have to get a much bigger bed" you laughed out loud thinking of all 7 guys trying to squeeze into your bed around you.

"Could just set everyone on a schedule" he joked. "Really though don't stress about it so much, just have fun and do what feels right even if its "Off limits"" he said with a smile. "Looks like were here" Ukai said. You looked around realizing you were at the entrance of the train station, you would have to take the bullet train most of the way home and then a smaller train the rest of the way.

"Looks like we are" you said turning towards him.

"Get home safely and text once your there so I know" he gave your hand a gentle squeeze and turned to walk away but froze mid-step "Screw it" he said under his breath. He turned back towards you, his hands caught the sides of your face and swiftly brought your lips to his. His kiss was soft but urgent and made your skin tingle. He held you for a second before letting go and turning to walk away to hide his noticeable smile. "Go home and we will see you later" he grumbled out.

"Thank you for walking me to the station, Keishin" you called after him, he smiled and shook his head as he walked back in the direction of the arena.
