"I have no idea what youre saying" I laugh, handing him the blunt back before I got too faded.

"You and Asahi are soulm-" he was silenced by my finger slamming over his mouth.

"Nuh-uh"

"Yuh-huh!" he exclaimed, still muffled.

"You can think what you wanna think, but it wasn't meant to be." exhaling deeply, I say, "Kuroo tryna get in my pants thoughhh~"

"Oya? I heard my name?"

My eyes widen as my head whips around to Sugas.

"Noooo, you didn't."

"Oh... What the fuck is in this weed then?"

"We've been out here for hours, Im freezing, the cold is starting to sober me up, and Im also getting super groggy." stifling a yawn, I stand up with a stretch, "I might have to call it a night now guys."

"Y/n pleeeease stay a bit longer! We brought snackies~" Tendou waves a chip bags in front of me.

"Ugh fine" I grumble. ", only for a few minutes."

I tentatively grab a single chip out of the bag with an internal panic, as Tendou, being the little shit he is, grabs my hand and sticks it out, palms up, pouring a large handful right in the center.

"Thanks" I mumble, putting a chip in my mouth, chewing slowly and quietly, a habit developed over the years of growing up. The crunching noise rings through my ears, the worries seeping through to tell me I shouldn't. I really shouldn't.

"Do you always have to chew so fucking loud?"

I look around to see Tsukishima had arrived recently, only to see he was talking to a few third years who loved pestering him, chewing with their mouths wide open in his face.

Despite the comment not being directed towards me, I couldn't help but feel sick at the thought of people watching the way I chewed, childish as it may seem. Pulling out Sugas hand after managing to stomach two more, I put the remaining chips on his diminishing pile after losing my appetite, not even the slightest bit tired, just desperately wanting to leave the scene.

"Alright guys, don't stay out too late, I'm going to bed." unfurling my legs from beneath myself and dusting my hands free of crumbs. The chair pushes back with a squeak, the discomfort on my face getting to feel quite apparent.

As I peeled my sleeves over my hands from the cold and sheer nervousness, a chorus of enthusiastic 'good night's were followed by another few more civil ones. Saying it back fairly quietly myself, I start walking towards the door as light on my feet as possible.

Creaking it open just a little bit, I see a lot less boys sitting by the fireplace as there was two hours before. Quietly walking in so as not to disturb the few already asleep, clearly too exhausted from their rigorous training today to go to their rooms.

Scanning the room for a place to sit (as the couch is taken by a sleepy Iwaizumi and Oikawa) until I eventually wear out, I see Kyoutani sitting on one half of his sleeping bag alone, staring at the ceiling.

Glancing over at Iwaizumi, who had left to go inside just twenty minutes before me, nodded his head. Confused for a second, I noticed he was basically saying it was okay for me to sit by him. I was planning to anyways. Of course it would be rude not to ask first, right?
