Late Night Drinks

Chapter Twenty-five

The Karasuno vs. Aoba Johsai match lasted about an hour. Karasuno we sat match point, whilst Aoba Johsai only being 2 points away.

"Nishinoya!" Daichi yelled.
"Got it!" Nishinoya received the ball. "Kageyama, get the last one!"
"Asahi-san!" Kageyama yelled, as he set the ball. Asahi spiked the ball, in which Matsukawa touched by the tip of his fingers.

"One touch!" He yelled. Kunimi slid down, preventing the ball from touching the floor.
"Nice receive, Kunimi!" Oikawa said. The captain set the ball towards their ace, who jumped up to spike. Iwaizumi forcefully hit the ball, but then a large figure appeared out of nowhere. Kei sent a withering glare at the ace on the other side.

What the- where did he come from?! Iwaizumi thought. Kei blocked the ball, winning a point for his team.

"All right!" Nishinoya cheered, along with Tanaka, and Hinata sprinting up in the air with joy.
"Man, we we're so close!" Yahaba said. The whistle blew, meaning that the game was over, Karasuno winning 3 out of 5 sets. The teams lined up against the net, shaking hands after a good game.

"That was a bit of a surprise, Tobio-chan." Oikawa said.
"Oh, well, I only learn from the best..." Kageyama said. Oikawa smirked, thinking he was taking about him.
"Well, I'm flattered-"

"Sugawara-san, he taught me a lot." Kageyama said out of the blue.
"Ahh-" Oikawa squeaked with a dejected face. He could hear his teammates snickering in the back. "Maki! Matssun! Quit laughing!"

"Ahahaha, nice one, Kageyama!" Hanamaki called out. Kageyama replied with a thumbs up to the third year.

Oikawa pouted. "Iwa-chan! They're bullying me!" He whined. Iwaizumi rolled his eyes.
"Get over it!" He yelled.

"Ahh, that was a pretty intense game." Sugawara huffed.
"As if you can say anything, you weren't even playing." Nishinoya said. Sugawara glared at the libero, who flinched.
"N-nevermind, haha..." He smiled nervously.

Kei was sitting down leaning on the wall. He looked to the left, where he saw Yamaguchi and Terushima, both seeming like they're flirting. Then a shadow crashed over him. Kei looked up, to find Tetsuro above him.

"Oh, hello, Kuroo-san, did you finish your game?" Kei asked, as the thrid year sat down next to him.
"Mhm, we it was a tie, we won 3 sets, Fukurodani won 3, too." Tetsuro said.
"Oh, well, congrats, I guess." Kei shrugged. Tetsuro smiled, and pecked his cheek.
"Thank you, Tsuki." He said. Kei blushed a little.
"Hey, you can't just do that out of no where..." He said. Tetsuro chuckled.
"You're not very opened with relationships, aren't you?" He asked. Kei scoffed and rolled his eyes.
"Only a little." He said.
"That's fine, anything for you." Tetsuro said, making Kei's heart pound.

He cares a little too much about me... Kei thought. Then he remembered what he has to do tonight. Ugh, just the thought is giving me goosebumps... Kei bit his lip. Should I tell Kuroo? He thought. No, he'd never let me go, if I did tell him. He shook his head.

"Tsukishima! We're doing laps!" Nishinoya called out. Kei looked up, seeing his team waiting for him neat the exit.
"Ok, hold on!" He stood.
"Have fun." Tetsuro said. Kei smiled and rolled his eyes.

"Go!" Daichi clapped. The team all ran up the hill. Kei was scoring a maybe 5th place, Hinata and Kageyama racing each other, Nishinoya and Tanaka running after them.
"I saw you talking with Kuroo-san." Yamaguchi popped up. Kei flinched, then looked at his right, where his freckled-friend was.

"Huh? Oh, yeah, we were talking about our matches." He said.
"Mhmm..." Yamaguchi nodded. He looked at Kei's neck, which still had the marks, but they were fading away. He had this urge to ask Kei about them, but he didn't want to, thinking about the theories he's been having. He decided to just ask, even if it killed him, curiosity was taking over.
