In Love With My Best Friend (Tsukki x Yams)

9: The edge of the cliff.

It was the next morning, and Tsukishima had to wake Yamaguchi up because of how long he stayed up. Yamaguchi ended up not being able to sleep because of the regret he felt. His heart was shouting him, 'tell him! tell him!' but his mind said not to tell him.

Through the constant twisting and turning, and the thoughts flowing through Yamaguchi's mind, he wasn't able to fall asleep until around 1 in the morning. 

"Good morning team!" An enthusiastic Sugawara clapped, getting the attention of a few still sleepy team members. 

It wasn't that early in the morning, just around 9:30 a.m. but, I guess these boys were heavy sleepers. Or at least, not morning people. 

"So for today, Daichi and I planned a hike for the team!" Sugawara gleamed, putting his hands on his hips. 

"You all are still volleyball players so it'll be part workout, and just partly for fun." Daichi smiled, continuing on with a few rules and safety measures. 

"WOOOOO!!" Tanaka and Hinata cheered, jumping up into the air, high-fiving each other. Nishinoya joined in, not so far after. Their grogginess has flew far into the wind, as they whooped and cheered.  

"Now, we're going in groups of 4 since we have an even 12. Sugawara and I have already sorted out the groups so, don't whine about who's with you." Sugawara clapped his hands, getting a piece a paper out, which most-likely has all the names on it. 

Everybody eagerly anticipated who they were all grouped with, some didn't want certain people. A.K.A, Hinata and Kageyama didn't want Tsukishima with them because, Tsukki had a habit of picking on those two boys. 

"First group, me, Daichi, Asahi and Nishinoya." Sugawara read the first group off his paper. "Second group, Tanaka, Ennoshita, Kiyoko, and Yachi." He continued, Tanaka sending Kiyoko heart eyes. "And the last group, Hinata, Kageyama, Tsukishima and Yamaguchi." Suga finished off, hearing groans come from that last group. 

"Yeah, yeah, don't complain. This is your groups, but you guys DON'T have to stay together." Daichi rolled his eyes, looking at the last group of boys. "You guys DO have to come back altogether though." 

Daichi clasped his hands, signaling that the groups could go off on their own but, Kiyoko stopped them before they continued on. 

"Before you guys go, Yachi and I packed food and drinks since you will need it during the hike." Kiyoko shyly smile, Yachi peeking out from behind her. 

"YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!" The team cheered, happy they wouldn't starve or dehydrate during the hike since they only considered packing their water bottles. 

Kiyoko and Yachi handed out the sack lunches, and extra drinks, receiving bows from the whole team. After that, the groups went their separate ways and continued down 3 different hike trails.

"Do you two EVER stop arguing?!" Tsukishima raised his voice, slowly getting more and more aggravated with the raven and eccentric orange haired boys. 

"Do you ever stop being so salty?" Hinata clapped back, pouting slightly towards the scowling blonde. 

"Both of you, just shut up." Kageyama huffed, looking over the rocks he was standing on, actually being the only one besides Yamaguchi enjoying the view. 

Yamaguchi decided to stay quiet during the arguments, talking in a deep breath of the fresh air up in the mountains. One, he didn't want to stir it up and anger them anymore, and two, he was pretty exhausted still from last night. 

"Why are you so quiet?" A slightly calmer voice came up from behind him, startling Yamaguchi a little. He turned around to see the normally grumpy setter, seeming a little more peaceful than usual.
