"Huddle everyone!" Ukai shouted as he and Takeda entered the gym. The team gathered around and sat down, Shoyo huddled up closely to Kei's side, looking content while the taller of the two blushed. The team gave them knowing smirks as they glanced at them before turning their attention back to their coach. "We got an invitation to a week-long training camp, Nekoma were kind enough to invite us, so 2 weeks from now we will be leaving, make sure to get these permission slips signed," coach Ukai said, a bit of excitement seeping out.

"Yay!" Shoyo exclaimed loudly with a huge grin as he looked into the black nothingness of his daily view. Kei smiled at him gently, finding his boyfriend utterly adorable as he excitedly held his arms up into the air grinning. Kei placed a hand on his head, ruffling his hair a little as he smiled, "calm down Shoyo" was all he said before letting him go again.

Shoyo turned to him, pouting his lips and puffing his cheeks like a squirrel, making the team laugh at him. "Am I not allowed to be excited?" he then asked, pouting more as he stared at his boyfriend, oblivious to the fact the team was watching their little exchange. "Of course you're allowed to be excited, just calm down a little, okay?" he said in a calm voice, Shoyo begrudgingly deflating his puffed up cheeks as he turned around looking down. "Okay.."

Chuckling a little, Kei once again ruffled his hair, turning his attention back to his surroundings, realizing everyone was watching them. Kei, turning beet red, glaring at them "what?" This only made the team grin wider, "do you have something to tell us or?" Noya said slyly along with Tanaka, finding the situation very interesting.

Shoyo, completely oblivious as to the looks the team was giving them just looked up at Kei, saying "is something wrong?" as he leaned his head to the side in a confused manner. "No, well, ehm.." Kei began, unsure what to say before he eventually stood up, grabbing hold of Shoyo's hand, urging him to stand up before announcing to the team they would be back in a moment.

The two then walked off, Kei guiding Shoyo gently with a red face as he heard quiet snickering behind him. Shoyo just looked confused as they walked away, eventually stopping somewhere outside. "Did something happen Kei?" Shoyo asked once they stopped, looking up to where he knew his boyfriend's face was.

Kei stayed quiet for a bit, Shoyo becoming increasingly worried. "Kei?" he voiced out worriedly as he looked at him. Eventually Kei leaned his head down on Shoyo's shoulder "sorry, I was just embarrassed" he then said, making Shoyo more confused. "Why?" the shorter of the two asked as he placed his free hand on Kei's head, patting it gently.

"The whole team stared at us due to how we acted and asked if we had something to tell them, and since you didn't see, or at least notice the looks they were giving I wanted to tell you but I couldn't since they were all watching us like hawks.. I was scared they would hear me so I kept wavering on my options and eventually just made you walk out with me... sorry" Kei said quickly, worried over whether he made the right choice or not.

He looked at Shoyo, worried, but he immediately breathed out in relief as he saw Shoyo smile brightly at him, his eyes half lidded, showing complete adoration before hugging him. "You don't have to worry Kei, thank you for bringing me out here, I had no idea that any of that was happening, you definitely did the right choice" Shoyo then said as he gently patted Kei's back, assuring him it was fine.

"Thank you" was all he said before he returned the hug he was given, feeling a lot calmer now than he did just a few moments ago. "I guess we should announce our relationship at this point, wouldn't you say so too, Kei?" Shoyo said with a wide grin and a giggle before he let him go, motioning him to follow him back to the gym before letting Kei take the lead, guiding him back.

"Well, well, well, so you decided to come back huh?" Tanaka asked teasingly as he looked at them. "Sorry about that everyone!" Shoyo began in a chipper tone, then he added "Actually, we're dating, and Kei wanted to ask me if I was ready to announce it or not, hence why we left, sorry." Kei looked at him surprised, both at how easy he had lied and how easily he announced that they were dating.

The team all gave knowing grins before congratulating the two, Kei overjoyed at how their relationship was no longer a secret.
