chapter 6: reunion

˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ Now the day after the eventful graduation, Y/N and Kenma work diligently to prepare their house for guests. This is the first time since they've moved in that their house will host a plethora of people and they wanted to be prepared. Shoyo was supposed to help them as he'd been staying in one of their guest rooms for the week, but he wiggled himself out of helping by conveniently going out to pick up Atsumu from the train station. They tried to stop him, but the two couldn't keep up with his energy and before they knew it he had taken the keys to Kenma's car and drove off.

With just one hour to spare, the two had just finished setting up the dining table with an assortment of food. Y/N and Kenma hurriedly changed into nicer clothes to fit the occasion knowing that their guests would be arriving soon and just as they were finishing up, they heard the soft jingle of keys, signaling Shoyo's return and the arrival of their first guests.

Not waiting for Kenma to finish, Y/N makes her way to the house entrance, calling out to her friend. Immediately upon arrival, she is greeted by the presence of four men. Kotaro and Kiyoomi warmly hug her and present a gift. Shoyo, expecting a hug as well, instinctively moves forward but instead receives a painful flick to his forehead.

"Itai! Ehhh- what was that for?!"

"For taking the car."

She gives him a stern look then moves to face her unfamiliar guest. When she finally faces Atsumu, she gives him a welcoming smile and introduces herself.

"You must be Miya-san, right? I've heard a lot about you. It's nice to formally meet you."

"Atsumu is fine. You as well, Kuroo-san."

"Please call me Y/N, people call my brother Kuroo and you'll get mixed up when he arrives."

Atsumu gives the girl a smile but then a thoughtful expression plagues his face. He just can't help but wonder about the relationship between her and his teammates. The four of them seem to be close and he does remember them mentioning her from time to time, but he didn't realize just how close they were. He especially can't help but be intrigued with her friendship with Kiyoomi, a man who is known to not befriend others much but had no problem showing her affection.

"Y/N-san? Can I ask how you all know each other?"

"Hmm? Of course! Let's start with Kotaro since we've known each other the longest. I guess we first became friends since he always came over to play volleyball with my brother..."

"That's right! Y/N-chan was so tiny back then," The boisterous man takes a moment to cup his cheeks in fond of the memory before continuing, "I couldn't play with my nee-chans because they would get upset when I spiked the ball at them too hard, so I would come over to play with Tetsuro."

"Mhmm, Tetsuro has always been into volleyball and when Kotaro started coming over to play, I got curious and started learning more about the sport leading me to meet him–"

The girl points to Kiyoomi who only gives a slight nod.

"Well actually, Motoya.. wait where is he by the way?"

"He went to pick up something from home but he'll come by later."

"Oh ok, anyways.. I didn't really make that much friends in highschool besides Motoya at first," Y/N says, shrugging her shoulders, "One day, the senpais asked him to find a manager for their volleyball team and he asked me to fill the role because he knew my brother was on Nekoma's volleyball team."

"Then because I was friends with Motoya, I became friends with Kiyoomi, although.. he was pretty reluctant to be my friend at first. He even forced me to wear a mask around him those first couple of months and made me walk through disinfectant spray like it was perfume..."
