Silently Pining

Volleyball Hangout

"No."

"But Kenma-"

"Kuro, please don't make me go."

The Nekoma captain frowned, turning to the rest of the team. "Can you at least say why not?"

"Too many people." The setter replied in his usual monotone voice.

Kuroo grinned. "Karasuno's chibi-chan will be there."

Kenma flinched, looking up from his game to give somewhat starry eyes to his friend. "Maybe for a little bit."

Kuroo threw his fists in the air, feeling victorious for finally convincing his setter to join the gathering. "Alright! Bokuto said to be at the meeting spot tomorrow night around 6ish. Oh, and it is an overnight, so everyone please plan for that."

Kenma was left in his spot, a mixture of disbelief and annoyance. He was used to Kuroo doing this, but to give important information last minute- and waiting till Kenma himself actually agreed- was a new form of low. Well, it was in Kenma's mind.

"Babe, there's this hangout in Tokyo for volleyball clubs."

You looked up from your laptop, peering over the rim at your boyfriend. "Oh? Have fun, hun."

The boy frowned slightly, walking over to you. He moved the laptop away and picked you up, sitting down and placing you on his lap in a position that made you face him. He remained silent.

You sighed. "What's wrong, Yuji?"

"I want ya to come with us!" The second year wing spiker and captain of the Johzenji high school boys volleyball club, Terushima Yuji- your boyfriend- beamed at you.

You couldn't say no to the hopeful look he wore, nor would you want to be the cause of the stars in his eyes disappearing. "Of course I'll go with you, Yuji."

"Yes!" He was having a small celebration, obviously relishing this easy win.

You smiled, seeing him so happy always warmed your heart. "Will I know anyone else that'll be there?"

Terushima froze, making eye contact with you. "Not sure. I dunno how many guys from our team will go, but Hana-san said she'll be there."

"Ok.... Anyone I might know from other schools?"

The blonde boy took a few minutes to think about it. "I dunno if you know 'em. But there will be members from Karasuno, Shiratorizawa, Seijoh, and Date Tech- all from here in Miyagi. There's a few members from one team in the Hyogo prefecture, pretty sure they called the team 'Inarizaki' or something like that. And there are like, what, four teams in the Tokyo prefecture that'll have members present."

"Which schools?"

"Uhh... I know the two well-known powerhouses Itachiyama and Fukurodani will be there- or, at least some of their members will be there. I think the other team members are from schools called Nohebi and Nekoma. Do you know anyone from those schools?"

You shrugged, not giving it too much thought. "I don't think I know them personally. But I might have a relative on one of those teams."

Terushima raised a brow. "There's other people our age involved with your family's company?"

"I doubt they'd be involved with the company. But, yes, they would be about our age and related to me."

"Ok. Hurry and pack your things, babe. We're leaving early tomorrow morning, I'll be coming to pick you up." He quickly kissed your cheek, setting you back down on your bed and began walking to the door.

"Alright."

Just as he was about to walk through the door, he turned to you again. "Oh, and pack some sexy outfits, baby." He winked, then ran out of your house.

You blinked a few times, trying to process what just happened. "Ok then. Guess I gotta pack all his favorites."

You sigh, getting up from your bed and heading to your closet/dresser. You grab plenty of clothes, including the nsfw sets that Terushima requested. Quickly stowing them away into a duffle bag, you quickly pack all the other necessities. Once finished, you head off to bed and attempt to get a full night's rest- knowing you'll need it for whatever your boyfriend has planned.

"This is exciting, isn't it?" Terushima beamed with excitement as you two stepped out of the train station, Hana following close behind.

You yawned, stretching your sore limbs. "I'd be more excited if that train ride wasn't so long and uncomfortable."

Hana nodded in agreement with you. "I would've rather had one of the L/n's family drivers bring us here."

Terushima shrugged. "True, we could've done that.... But you can't get different experiences by doing the same things all the time. Right, babe?" He gave you a wink.

You giggled. "Of course you're right about that, Yuji. And I think I prefer not having family drivers taking me everywhere. It gives me less freedom cuz they always report back to my parents."

Terushima slyly wrapped an arm around your waist, pulling you closer to him. "And we'd hate having your parents find out about everything you do."

You knew exactly what he meant, causing your cheeks to turn a deep shade of red. "Yuji!"

He chuckled, loving to see you all flustered- all because of him. "Sorry, baby~."

Hana hit the boy upside his head. "Behave yourself, Terushima. No lewd comments or behavior while we're around all these other schools!"

The blond rolled his eyes. "Fine. But what I do with my girlfriend in my free time, in private, will be none of your business."

"Whatever." The third year grumbled.

Soon, the three of you arrived at the place this "hangout" was being held. Without any hesitation, Terushima walked ahead of you and Hana, opening the door for the three of you.

And, of course, Terushima being his usual loud self, he announced your arrival. "Yo! What's up mah dudes?!"

All heads turned in your direction, all eyes on you three.

Hana quickly smacked Terushima's head and bowed apologetically. "I'm really sorry about him. Thank you for having us!"

And there, Kenma's attention was on one person, and one person alone: you. He's waited four long years to finally be reunited with the very beautiful girl he saved in the park that one spring day. And now, he finally gets to see you again. He'll (hopefully) have the chance to speak with you- the first time ever since he first laid his golden eyes on you.

You, however, hadn't noticed any of this. You were a tad too distracted by Hana scolding Terushima- giving him quite the earful about his actions. When you did turn to face the numerous pairs of eyes boring into your skin, your lips naturally formed a smile- a somewhat nervous smile.

"Um... hello. I'm L/n Y/n. Nice to meet you all." You give a small bow, showing respect while also breaking the eye contact- in which you had found to be very uncomfortable.

There were a few shouts of greeting, others mumbled their responses. Most of these guys had never seen you before in their lives. They had no clue who you were- you're a complete stranger in their eyes.

When you stood straight up, you were met with a very familiar pair of eyes. You waved at the boy with a sweet smile. "Nice to see you again, dear cousin of mine."

The dark haired boy glanced at you, a small smile creeping onto his face. "Ah, yes. It's been a while, hasn't it, L/n-sama?"

You chuckled at how formal he was acting. "You really don't need to call me that- we're family after all. You should address me by first name."

Your cousin nodded, chuckling quietly. "Right. My apologies, Y/n-sama."
