It was getting dark outside and all of the players were tired as shit. They had been playing practically all day and their bodies were about to shut down completely.

"I can't do this anymore." Atsumu dramatically collapsed to the ground with an empty water bottle weakly sitting in his grip. "I think I just sat here and drank enough water to end a national drought."

"Atsumu shut up. For two seconds, please." Osamu begged from where he was sitting on one of the benches.

"Leave me alone Samu."

"Shut up Atsumu!" Sakusa said from across the gym causing the blonde to gasp dramatically.

"Is he always like this?" Hirugami turned to Sakusa who was standing next to him, he just nodded.

After a short bus ride, they all were back at the hotel. They all had to quickly make it up to their rooms or else the smell of sweaty high schoolers would fill up the front hall. Everyone quickly found their way up to their rooms.

Suna was digging around in his bag for something comfortable to wear to bed when he heard the door open and close. He didn't look up because he knew Atsumu was the one shuffling over to his bed and falling face forward into the pillow.

"What's up with you?"

"You act like we didn't just play from sunrise to sundown." He chucked his pillow at Suna who just barely dodged it.

"I'm going to take a shower. You can marinate in your sweat while you wait." Suna chucked Atsumu's pillow back at him before going into the bathroom.

Komori was drying off his hair since he got out of the shower. Sakusa had already taken his shower, after cleaning the entire thing, and he was just sitting on his bed reading a book.

"What was up with you before the match?" Sakusa said without looking up as he turned to the next page in his book.

"I seriously don't know what you're talking about."

"Motoya."

"Fine..." He put the towel he was using for his hair down and laid back on the headboard of the bed. "I was sitting right here with Rin, and we were trying to decide where we were going to get something to eat. He pointed at someplace and I turned to look at him. But when I looked up, we were face to face. Like kissing distance. I felt my heart starting to race and it was a whole thing and we just sat there staring at each other-"

"Okay, I get it." Sakusa cut him off. "You need to learn how to control your rambling when you're nervous. What you're saying is that you almost kissed him?"

"Yeah..."

"Oh my god." Sakusa just facepalmed.

"Kiyoomi I don't know what to do!"

"Why don't you just confess to him when you get the chance?"

"That's the issue, I don't know how." He covered his face and fell back onto his bed. "Do you know how pretty he is? Like being that close made me realize how clear his skin is, and how his eyes are a perfect mix of green and yellow."

"Can you stop describing our childhood friend like you're in Romeo and Juliet?" He closed his book with a sigh. "Listen, I'll help you. But you owe me something after this."

Komori sat up abruptly and looked at his cousin like he was on the verge of tears. "You're going to help me?"

"I've been giving you advice for the past 3 years, Motoya. This is no different. Don't make me regret this..." Sakusa sighed out. "You can go down to his room, and I'll invite Atsumu up to ours. You confess and live happily ever after."
