Nationals
It was finally time. Nerves and excitement could be felt rolling through the waiting room where all the players prepped to be introduced to the world.
Ok at least to those who came to watch
It was loud and hectic. Suga was doing his best to note where all his little crows had fluttered off too. Most spotting others they already knew from other schools and quickly peeled away from the others to chat with them.
He was actually proud of Kageyama who had even started chatting with a team Suga wasn't familiar with. Must have been someone from the camp he went to. Hinata of course had gravitated over to Bokuto. Suga shared a glance with Akaashi nodding slightly.
Ever since that drunken night in Tokyo during the setter only camp all the setters came to the agreement of never speaking of the night... ever again.
The tattoos unfortunately are a permanent reminder of what they had done. Suga smirked slightly when Akaashi admitted to keeping his tongue piercing. Claimed Bokuto enjoyed it so he kept it and said it was easy enough to hide. The last comment left a lot of heckling in the group chat.
Yeah a few things had changed that night that were actually good things. Bokuto and Akaashi got together after much push from Bokuto. They were absolutely adorable and Suga never thought he would fawn over a pair as much as he had. Much to Dachi's displeasure because he was often drug around to double dates when the group happened to be in the same area.
Oikawa claimed that he and Iwaizumi's relationship, while still not actually together, had definitely... escalated. Even Oikawa was embarrassed to actually go into detail of what was happening. He did eventually confide in Suga that the relationship on a sexual level and basically escalated to the point that it was consistent. At home, the changeroom before and after practice, and even at school in the janitors closet.
"Suga I really shouldn't complain because it is fantastic. It really is. It's just," Oikawa broke off slumping onto the table that evening at the coffee shop
"You still crave something more than just the sex," Suga filled in patting Oikawa's head
"But he won't even try and talk about it. He just shuts me up by-" Suga waved him off with that thought
Yes, that was still a battle. Suga wasn't really sure if they would ever actually be able to get the pair together. Oikawa was about to resort to something he really didn't want to... which was telling Iwaizumi no.
Then there was poor Kageyama. After discovering that Hinata and Kenma were... well them the boy seemed to be preening for more and more of HInata's attention. Just not really in the way that would work. FIrst it was ignoring Hinata. Suga didn't really blame him on that end. It was a bit of a shock for everyone to find out that Hinata and Kenma were sexting buddies. Suga finally swallowed his courage and privately asked Hinata if he even understood what he had been doing. He was secretly more horrified that not only did Hinata understand fully what he was doing but his knowledge was way more than what Suga even processed.
After that horrifying discovery he could actually learn things from Hinata he finally was able to sit down with Kageyama. Maybe it was just the lack of social skills Kageyama had obtained through the years or because the original people he watched show affection to each other were Iwaizumi and Oikawa but the poor kid was horrible with feelings and flirting. So Suga did his best to teach Kageyama about love language which for Hinata seemed to be verbal praise and well... volleyball. Volleyball was the easy thing trying to get Kageyama to give the kid a decent praise on the other hand had become a different battle on its own.
Suga was just glad that they were happy and doing that weird fighting thing that seemed to be soothing for them. There was slight hope that maybe one day the idiots would pull themselves together and admit their feelings.
