"I'm home, tendou, you here?"

"welcome home ushi, how was practice?" i greet him from the couch, mouth stuffed with popcorn. tendou approaches from his room as he hears the door.

"wakatoshi...'sup." he sits opposite me, mindlessly scrolling through his phone.

"uh..hey," ushijima returns his attention to me. "why're you here, y/n?"

"am I not allowed to visit my dear cousin?"

he takes off his volleyball bag and sets it down on the floor, looking me dead in the eye. "you visit me like once every three months, even though we live so close to each other...your 'dear cousin' is concerned."

I wave my hand as if dismissing his point. "there's no reason to be concerned, I'm just...lonely?"

"really?" pinching the bridge of his nose, he asks, "did you and suguru have a fight or something?"

"no, of course not. he's just, staying over at a friend's place tonight." and that isn't exactly false, since he's most likely with aiko and others, as he usually is.

tendou lifts his head and I can tell his eyes are now focusing on me.

he doesn't question me further, and begins to walk towards his bedroom. "I'm exhausted from practice, and I'm going straight to sleep, so if you came here for another sesh, you'll still be lonely."

and with that, he closes the door behind him, disappearing into his room.

now, I can almost feel tendou's eyes burning into the back of my head.

"what???"

"why didn't you tell him?"

"tell him what?"

"about suguru. why did you lie?" his sharp, dark eyes are studying me to an extent i'll never be able to comprehend, from the way my lips slightly part at his question, to the slight movement of my pupils.
