Silently Pining

Set Up

Yukie grinned at everyone. "Now, let's set Y/n and Kenma up on a date."

Akaashi's eyes doubled in size. "Are you out of your mind!?"

She shakes her head. "I have a plan, the final push to get them to be completely in love with each other. So, we need to plan a date for them."

Kaori raised a brow at the other manager. "And how are you so sure this will work?"

Yukie's grin stretched wider. "I know things. But I can't share them cuz I made a promise... and cuz I like being the only one that knows things."

Bokuto smiled. "So then all we need to do is get Kenma and Y/n to go on a date with each other! That should be easy!"

Kuroo shook his head. "Not with Kenma being one of the people we need to coerce into going somewhere without explaining what's going on. He barely even agrees on a regular basis. If we tell him it's a date, he's gonna lock himself in his room."

Yaku sighed. "So how can we trick someone as smart as Kenma."

Yukie beamed, holding a finger in the air. "Simple. We set them up, make it seem like it'll be a group thing. Then, we just don't show up and they'll be left alone together. They'll be on a date, fall in love, get together, and then we have nothing to worry about. Both of them will be in good hands."

Akaashi pinched the bridge of his nose. "I'm not so sure that'll work out. If we say it's a group thing, it'll be problematic for me. I live with her, if I don't leave with her, she might figure something's going on."

Kuroo nodded. "That will be a problem. So, how do we get them to go out together without alerting them that we're trying to set them up?"

Yukie pointed finger guns at everyone. "Leave Y/n to me. I know what to say to her. I'll make it seem like a girl's day with me and Kaori, then tell her something came up and we couldn't make it last minute." She lied. She was gonna tell you straight up that she was setting you up on a date with Kenma. She figured that alone would work on you, considering she already knows you're developing feelings for Kenma.

Bokuto looked around. "What do we say to Kenma?"

Yukie shrugged. "You guys know him better than I do, you think of something."

Kuroo grinned. "I might have an idea."

Yaku raised a brow at him. "What is it?"

"If we tell Kenma there's a game coming out that he might like, we might be able to convince him to come out of the house. We tell him where to meet us, and he'll find himself alone with Y/n. That should work."

Akaashi let out a tired sigh. "And how do you expect either of them to stay?"

Yukie pointed finger guns at him. "I know how to handle Y/n, so leave her to me. She'd most likely text saying she only sees Kenma around and I can convince her to just spend time with him." Again, she's lying through her teeth. She has no intention of lying to you at all about this situation.

"And Kenma?"

Kuroo shrugged. "I'll figure it out. I might be able to convince him to stick around Y/n."

Akaashi was just about done with everyone. "Is any of this actually gonna work?"

Yukie pouted. "You know I can get Y/n to do anything."

"True. But again, what about Kenma?"

Kuroo shrugged. "We'll figure it out. Once we get him out, it shouldn't be too hard to get him to stay."

Bokuto started bouncing. "So where are we going to make them have their date?"

They all looked at each other, hoping someone had an idea.

Yukie thought of something, a smirk spreading across her face. "I might know a place these two would be ok with having a date at."

Akaashi looked skeptical. "Where?"

"So, there's this cat cafe right next to a gaming place. We could convince them to go separately and when they arrive, I have a feeling Y/n can take the initiative to have them go to both places." She already knew how she'd explain this to you.

Akaashi gave in. "That does sound good for both of them. Alright, let's focus on making this happen."

Everyone agreed and went to their own homes.

Once at her own place, Yukie called you.

You answer, confused. "Yukie? What's up?"

Yukie grinned. "I've got a once in a lifetime offer for you."

"Oh? What is it?"

"You and Kenma going on a date."

You turned red in your room. "How?"

"Ok, so remember the cat cafe I told you about?"

"The one next to the game place?"

"That's the one. Well, you're gonna meet Kenma there. The guys are gonna trick him into meeting them there."

You raise a brow. "But they're not gonna be there. It'll just be me, waiting for him."

She smiled. "Exactly. You're gonna offer to go to both places with him. Start with the game place to make him more comfortable. After being there for a while, ask him if he's hungry. The moment he says yes, offer to go with him to the cat cafe next door. And don't take no for an answer, Y/n."

You sigh. "Alright. So I'm the one casually making moves?"

"Yes. Since Kenma isn't the type to just go for it, you have to make the first move. You're ok with that, right?"

"I think I can handle it. When did you even come up with this plan?"

"Well, I was with everyone else from Nekoma and Fukurodani. You and Kenma were the only ones not there. And they were all thinking of ways to set you two up with each other. I lied to them, saying how I'd convince you to do this. They figured out how to trick Kenma out of his house. This should work and I'll let you know the day of if there are any problems with the plan."

"Ok. I'm trusting you on this one. The moment there's a problem getting Kenma to come, let me know."

"Of course!"

You hesitated for a moment. "Do you wanna come over? I think I need help with something."

"Anything for you. But what do you need help with?"

"Figuring out what to wear on my date."

Yukie beamed, already preparing to head over to your place. "I'll be right over, Y/n."
