Keeper of a secret - Atsumu x Reader

Chapter 6

"Well, well, well. If it isn't miss prima ballerina." One girl commented.

"What do you want?" You ask, slightly annoyed.

"Oh, nothing. Just watch yourself prima ballerina. You never know who could have it out for you." The same girl commented.

"And would the someone who has it out for me be you? Is it because I managed to impress a whole class, yet you can't even impress the one you love?" You say, unsure if what you said was true or not.

"You take that back!" She replied, shocked at your comment.

"Oh, so I am right. Well that's good to know. Now if you don't mind, I'd actually like to hear what the teacher is trying to say, rather than hearing your annoying voice." You reply.

She was so shocked that she said nothing in response. You were slightly shocked at yourself. You never really stood up for yourself before. You used to just ignore people whenever they made fun of you. You knew it was because of something that made you react that way. Maybe the nickname? No, you've been called worse. The fact that she mentioned ballet? That can't be it. People used to always tell you to give up, and that you weren't that great at anything you did. Obviously, you just ignored the awful comments.

"Damn you Yuri. If it wasn't for you, I never would've said anything to that girl. Did your tough guy act rub off on me? Well, that's what I get for spending 5 years with you." You thought to yourself.

The lesson went by slowly and soon it ended. You began to gather your stuff and left the classroom before Kuroo arrived. You knew Lev probably hadn't said you weren't coming to practice, so you wanted to avoid having to answer the same question twice. You left the school and headed for your house so you could drop off your bag and change. You changed into a comfier outfit and grabbed your purse and train pass.

You began to head out of your house when you remembered a conversation you had with Yuri earlier on. You were talking about the Grand Prix and how you badly wanted to compete against him. That's when it hit you. You couldn't compete against Yuri in the Grand Prix. In the end, there would be 2 winners. Male and female. You sighed and brought out your phone to message Yuri. You thought of another to compete against him before messaging him. So you settled on competing against him in terms of scores and who comes out with the best medal.

To: Yuri P. 🇷🇺
From: Y/N
Hey Yuri. I just had a realisation. We couldn't compete against each other in the Grand Prix. Since men and women compete separately.

To: Y/N
From: Yuri P. 🇷🇺
Took you long enough to work that out.

To: Yuri P. 🇷🇺
From: Y/N
Wait, you knew?! Damn. Anyway, what are you up to?

To: Y/N
From: Yuri P. 🇷🇺
Training. But I'm on break right now. I managed to hide away from Yakov and Lillia so I could message you.

To: Yuri P. 🇷🇺
From: Y/N
Ah ok.

To: Y/N
From: Yuri P. 🇷🇺
So what are you up to?

To: Yuri P. 🇷🇺
From: Y/N
I'm just about to leave my house. I stopped by to get changed. I'm about to walk to the train station.

To: Y/N
From: Yuri P. 🇷🇺
Why the train station?

To: Yuri P. 🇷🇺
From: Y/N
Oh, I'm heading to Hasetsu. I wanna message either Yuuri or Viktor but I don't know which one would be more excited to see me.

To: Y/N
From: Yuri P. 🇷🇺
Hmm. Well, huh. That's a hard one. I think Viktor might be more excited to see you then the piggy.

To: Yuri P. 🇷🇺
From: Y/N
Ok thanks Yuri. Just to be on the safe side, I'll ask Yuko first. Then message one of them.

To: Y/N
From: Yuri P. 🇷🇺
Well good luck. Do svidaniya.

To: Yuri P. 🇷🇺
From: Y/N
Dosvidaniya Yuri.

"Hey, where's F/N? Lev, I thought you were gonna ask her to watch training today?" Kuroo asked.

"Yeah, I did. She said she was busy. Something about going to where she grew up." Lev replied.

"Huh. Hey Kenma?" Kuroo turned to Kenma who was sat on a bench playing a video game.

"What is it Kuroo?" Kenma replied, uninterested.

"I'm going to F/N's house later. Wanna come with?" Kuroo asks.

"Why? Can't you ask her tomorrow?" Kenma replies, looking up from his game console.

"Cos. I wanna ask her before tomorrow." Kuroo replies.

"K fine. I'll come." Kenma replies.

"Ok Kuroo, I just remembered. You don't happen to know what 'do svidaniya' means do you?" Lev asked, unsure if his captain knew the answer.

"Hmm... let me think. Oh, it means goodbye. It's Russian for goodbye." Kuroo answered.

"Wait, how do you know?" Kenma questioned.

"F/N said that to me the day we met." Kuroo replied.

"Anyway, let's get to practice. Those volleyballs aren't gonna hit themselves." Kuroo says.
