(i) compromise

6:17 a.m. OSAKA

"maybe it's a prank", shoyo speculated as he leaned forward, putting on one of his shoes while his other foot touched the cool floor.

light laughter broke out among the other guys present in the MSBY locker room.

atsumu snorted as he took off the shirt he'd worn on the way to practice, "you think omi-kun is the type to prank people?"

"he surprises us sometimes!", the middle blocker exclaimed, "you never know. he could've wanted to fuck with us."

"good morning", meian waved as he walked into the room, still wearing his wind jacket to counter the chilly early morning weather outside, "i take it you all received the invitation too"

"shoyo-kun thinks it's a prank", atsumu pointed

"how could we not know he's dating someone, let alone...?", shoyo asked, "he's not the type to rush into things."

"oh oh i know the answer to that", surprisingly enough, it was bokuto that raised his hand eagerly, "i can't say for sure but chi told me it's like an arranged marriage"

"how does she know?", atsumu asked, making a reference to bo's long time best friend- who nearly everyone in MSBY had a crush on at some point.

"i don't know", bokuto shook his head, "i guess we could just ask omi omi when he comes"

"ask me what?", the atmosphere shifted as sakusa kiyoomi walked through the door, setting his bag down on the wooden bench between the lockers.

"you're getting married?!", shoyo asked

"no, i sent you a wedding invitation because i was in the mood to harm the environment by wasting paper", kiyoomi rolled his eyes, taking off his jacket, "take a guess, hinata"

meian walked upto the man who was the topic of conversation and patted him on the back, "congratulations, sakusa. and thanks for the invitation"

"yeah, we'll be there!", bokuto grinned

"please feel free to bring your own guests too", kiyoomi's face held a hint of a smile.

"why didn't you tell us you were seeing someone?", atsumu asked- an intrusive question that made him glare at the setter.

and everyone knew the answer anyway. kiyoomi was a private person. while atsumu and others on the team openly liked to talk about their relationships, kiyoomi had barely shared anything from his personal life with them.

if there was anyone on the team that could get away with hiding a relationship for several months, it was him.

but no one had anticipated that the usually reserved kiyoomi would actually reveal to them, "i wasn't seeing her. it's... arranged."

everyone was genuinely surprised by the revelation even though they were discussing the same exact topic before he entered the room.

atsumu was surprised too because he hadn't expected an answer at all. so he decided to push his luck and asked, "who's the girl you're marrying? what's she like?"

kiyoomi shrugged, speaking with little adoration about someone he was about to marry, "i've known her my whole life. our families are very close."

his family. another subject kiyoomi didn't ever mention.

"is she from osaka?", meian asked, but it wasn't meant to be intrusive, just conversational.

"she grew up in tokyo", kiyoomi nodded, putting on his t-shirt, "but she'll be moving here soon"
