"I WANNA BE WITH THE ONE I KNOOOWWWWWWWW!" I scream, using Kei's water bottle as a microphone because a bitch is performing. "AND THE SEVENTH THING, I HATE THE MOST THAT YOU DOOOOOOOOOO. YOU MAKE ME LOVE YOU."

"Are you done?" Kei asks and I purse my lips

"Obviously not. I haven't even said the 7 things I love about you." I deadpan and he rolls his eyes.

"I have to be in the gym in 15 minutes and you literally dragged me here to make a tiktok. If we don't make one within the next 2 seconds I'm changing my mind." He stands up from the bench and I quickly grab my phone.

So impatient.

"The last one we made yesterday got so many views!" I exclaim, setting my phone up. "We're going to be uselessly famous."

He snorts, and as soon as I set my phone up, something gets draped over my head.

I quickly snatch it off, turning around and glaring at Kei but he just raises his eyebrows and points to it. When I look in my hands my eyes widen and a dramatic gasp leaves my lips.

"I CAN WEAR IT?!" I ask and he nods.

Immediately I take my shirt off, leaving me in my tank top. I slip the jersey on, squealing when it falls down to my thighs.

It's so big, there's so much room.

I barrel into Kei, attacking him in the tightest hug in the history of hugs.

"Okay. I'm going to take it back if you act weird." He scoffs and I quickly grab my phone.

"We have to take pictures, we look good!"

Completely forgetting about a tiktok, I suddenly become a photographer.

Although the pinnacle of the iron wall at Date Tech, Aone, graduated last year, the team is still as solid as ever.

Former members of each team came out to watch the game and I found myself in the middle of Suga and Daichi, all of us making sure to cheer for Karasuno as loudly as we can.

Something surprising I learned today is that Tanaka and Kiyoko are dating, and have been ever since Tanaka graduated.

I can't really say that I didn't see it coming, when I was a first year here I would see all the blushes and small smiles she would sport after she turned away from Tanaka- ensuring that he wouldn't see it. However, after going through the entire year of her rejecting him I kind of lost hope.

I'm happy for them.

We all bonded throughout the game and in the end, Karasuno beat Date Tech 3-2 and everyone bursted out of their chairs to cheer them on.

Since they lost to Date Tech last year, I'm happy they won this year.

The previous upperclassmen decide to treat us all to a meal after everyone gets washed up. As we wait for the boys, I get a phone call.

"Hello?"

"Hey, what are you doing right now?" Suna asks from the other end. "It's kind of loud."

"I'm at a volleyball game. It actually just ended, we're going to nationals!" I exclaim proudly then hear him chuckle.

"That's great." He says and I walk a little bit away.

"Are you in the area? We're all going to go out to eat if you want to come." I offer and he hums for a second.

"You still wearing that kid's jersey?" He asks and my cheeks heat up. "I saw your Instagram story."

"Ah, yeah. Kei is my best friend so I wanted to cheer him on." I quickly explain but he just laughs.

"You don't need to explain anything, I'm not mad. Though I think I'd get jealous if I seen you in it in person." He responds and I bite my lip, unable to contain the smile that spreads across my lips.

"I can change?"

"That's better. Text me the address of the place you're going to then."

We talk for a couple more minutes before hanging up. I quickly change back into the T-shirt I was wearing before.

Once the boys come back out and are made aware of the plans, I run up to Kei and hug him.

"Congratulations!" I grin before hugging the rest of the team. I hand his jersey back and he frowns.

"Already tired of wearing it?" He asks.

We begin to walk out of the gym, making our way to the restaurant.

"Hey, I have something to tell you." I clasp my hands behind my back as I excitedly look up at him. "You're the first one I'm telling."

"Oh? What is it?" He asks and I blush as I look away. "I have something I want to tell you too."

"Suna and I are dating now." I state happily, not noticing him stop walking. "He's coming to the restaurant."

I take a few more steps before realizing he's not beside me. I turn around, frowning a bit when I look at him.

"You good?"

"You guys are dating? Officially?" He asks and my smile returns as I nod.

"Yup!" I pop the 'p'. "He asked me out last night."

Kei's face turns neutral and he stares at me for a second. I chuckle, playfully punching his shoulder as I tilt my head.

"Come on, you're supposed to say something smarky like 'wow I can't believe he actually likes you' or 'are you sure he's not using you' or something." I purse my lips.

A deep frown comes over my face and I reach up to feel his forehead.

"Are you sick?" I ask but he pushes my hand away.

"I think the effects of the game is getting to me now. I'm going home." He says and abruptly turns around.

"O-Oh okay. You were moving around a lot and did well. Get lots of rest!" I call after him, my shoulders slightly slumping as I watch him go.

By the time I turn around, I realize we had been talking too long and the rest of the team and upperclassmen are nowhere in sight.

I bite my lip, quietly making my way to the restaurant by myself.

Kei's been getting sick a lot. I hope he's okay.

As I near the restaurant, I spot Suna approaching from the opposite way. My eyes brighten and my mind goes blank as he waves to me.

"Hi senpai." I stop in front of him and he grins.

"Don't call me that anymore. It's too cute." He says as he pulls me to his chest, wrapping his arms around me.

A small blush comes over my cheeks and I rest my head on his chest.

"How was your day?" I ask as he kisses my forehead.

"Better now that I can see you. Is everyone inside already?" He asks and I nod. "Okay, let's go in."

We pull away from each other and my face heats up as he takes my hand and leads me into the restaurant.

It's easy to find the boys since as soon as we walk in their eyes are on us, staring in shock.

He pulls me over to the table and bows, finding two empty seats and sitting down.

"We were worried about you but we figured you were okay since you were with Tsukishima, but...?" Suga blinks, unable to finish his sentence.

"Where is Tsukki?" Yamaguchi asks.

"He went home. He wasn't feeling good." I answer and he frowns, pulling out his phone.

"You guys are awfully close..." Hinata narrows his eyes and I chuckle.

"We're dating now." Suna replies and I nod happily.

"WHAT?!"
