Tsukishima POV

"And just like that, he up and left." I heard Tadashi's voice, telling Kageyama.

He sounded irritated and upset.

Were they talking about Suna who probably had cigarettes for breakfast??

"You okay?" I asked, walking closer to the duo, after debating it for 5 good minutes.

"Yeah I'm fine." Tadashi nodded.

I glanced over at Kageyama who just shrugged. After a few seconds of silence he mumbled, "I'm gonna go find the ginger idiot."

"You don't look fine, you look upset." I noted to Tadashi.

He sighed at this, "I just... how do you know what someone wants from you?"

"What?" I asked with a puzzled expression.

"Like if they want to build an emotional connection, or just a sexual one..." he shrugged.

"Oh, I guess it depends on how they act with you... if they want to talk about feelings, or just about sex." I told him pointedly.

"I dunno, we don't ever talk about feelings." he shrugged again.

"Then there's your answer." I said.

Yamaguchi sighed and just said, "Let's go back to the room, I'm kinda tired."

I just nodded.

I didn't mean to say what I said in a harsh way, but it's not like I was rooting for Suna-smokes-alot anyway.

Hoping that Tadashi would sleep it off and realise that Suna was not good enough for him sent me to sleep.

~3rd POV:

The next morning the team woke up and completed their usual routine of eat, train, match, rest, train, match, eat, socialise, eat, sleep.

Yamaguchi avoided Suna as best as he could and was thankful that there was only one day left of training camp and then he wouldn't need to see any Inarizaki for a long time.

The day after, the cycle repeated- altered slightly with only one match and more social time as it was the last day.

Yamaguchi tried to not be alone during this time because he could feel Suna staring at him, and his gaze was as obvious as ever.

"Come with me to get a bottle of water?" Yamaguchi asked Tsukishima who had his nose in a book.

"One sec, let me finish this part." the latter replied.

"I'll come with you." Hinata shrugged, "He'll take ages." he said, gesturing to Tsukishima.

They walked over to the fridge to grab their beverages and as soon as they did, Suna strolled up to the pair.

"Avoiding me?" he asked casually, but he only looked at Yamaguchi.

"No." Yamaguchi replied, opening his water and taking a sip from it, "Yeah it's cold, let's go." he said towards Hinata and they began to walk off.

"Tadashi." Suna said, grabbing Yamaguchi's arm and pulling him backwards slightly.

"What?"

Suna sighed slightly, "Can we talk?"

"Talk then." Yamaguchi said, folding his arms across his chest.

Suna looked at Hinata, "Privately."

"I'm not really in the mood." Yamaguchi shook his head and began to walk away once again.

"Wait-" Suna said, stepping in his way this time.

"Respectfully, you should fuck off." Tsukishima said, walking up to the three boys and glaring at Suna.

"Chill, I just wanna talk to Tadashi for a second."

"And Tadashi doesn't want to talk to you, so fuck off." Tsukishima sneered.

Suna chuckled, "What are you, his bodyguard?"

"Their." Yamaguchi corrected him.

"What?" Suna asked.

"My pronouns are they/them, you called me he." Yamaguchi said, an unimpressed look on his face.

"Maybe if you actually talked to me I wouldn't have made that mistake."

"There is no correlation between the two things. I don't want to talk to you. Goodbye." Yamaguchi spoke curtly, walking away before Suna could stop him again.

"Don't even think about trying this stupid shit again." Tsukishima warned Suna, who scoffed in disbelief before walking off.


"Thank you." Yamaguchi said quietly to Tsukishima after a few moments of walking down a corridor in silence.

"Any time." Tsukishima nodded, "Why are you always attracted to assholes like that?"

"Maybe because I'm one myself." The latter shrugged, opening the doors to go outside of the building.

"You always say this but I hope you know you aren't like him- at all."

"Whatever Tsukki." Yamaguchi replied, pulling out his vape from his bag.

The blonde turned to face him, "Tadashi, stop."

"It's just a vape Tsukki." the shorter boy said in response.

"It's hurting you, you don't seriously think that shit helps you do you?"

"I know it doesn't, I'm not delusional. What other option do I have huh? It's either this or cry myself to sleep and who wants that?" Yamaguchi stated.

"You need healthier coping habits, like communication. Communicate with me Tadashi."

"What do you want me to say?"

Tsukishima shrugged, "Whatever you want."

"It's no use, I'm gonna waste your time."

"I don't like seeing you like this. I know you don't like it either."

"Sorry that you don't like it Tsukki." Yamaguchi said, walking off.
