Bully

64

There was a loud knock on the door, waking you up. You groan loudly, rolling over and burying your face into Atsumu's bare chest.

For a moment, there was silence. Then, suddenly, the door burst open.

Mai's voice rings loudly in the room. "Y/n! Get up! We need to get to the stadium within an hour!"

"5 more minutes." You mumble back, just loud enough for her to hear.

"Don't make me rip that sheet off of you." She threatened, taking a few steps into the room.

You become wide awake, turning around but keeping the sheet on you as cover. "Ya don't wanna do that! We'll get ready soon!"

She makes eye contact with you, then notices the boy sleeping behind you. "Oh! You - did you really?"

You nod, embarrassed. "I'll tell ya later. Just get out. I promise we'll be right down."

She nods, quickly leaving the room and closing the door. "They fucked."

Osamu chokes on the onigiri he's eating. "They what?!"

"They fucked. They're completely naked under the hotel sheet. And they're cuddled in the same bed. They totally fucked last night."

The grey haired twin sighed, feeling less hungry. "I didn't needa know that first thing in the mornin'."

Mai slaps your back. "Cheer up, Y/n. It's not the end of the world."

You were fighting the tears that threatened to fall. "It's my fault. I shouldn't've slept with Sumu last night." You sob, letting the tears roll down your face as you walk off of the court.

"You didn't know this would happen. It's not your fault. Look, the guys still have their match. Why don't we watch?"

You sniffle, trying to wipe your tears away. You stop when you bump into another person. You don't need to look up to know who it is.

Atsumu hugs you, kissing your forehead. "It's ok. Ya did yer best. This time, someone else took the top spot. Ya still got the spring nationals and all of the tournaments next year. I'll win for ya."

You nod, unable to say anything.

He lets go of you, walking past you. "Just watch me win. Don't worry bout anythin'." He walks into the gym, the rest of the Inarizaki boys' volleyball club joining him.

Mai grabs your hand, pulling you up to the stands. "I know this is hard, but we can get back at them later. It's only June. We have quite a few months until the spring nationals. We'll win then."

"The third years already made up their minds. They're retirin' once we get home. I'm the captain now."

She pats your back. "You'll do a good job. All we need to do is work hard. We won't lose again."

You wipe your face with your hands again as you walk into the new room, getting changed with Mai and some of the other members of the girls' team. "Sorry. I should've done better."

The current captain smiles at you. "You did just fine. Don't feel bad about this. You're the captain once we get back to Hyogo. Hold your head high and work to win next time. Don't get hung up on this 1 lost. You still have many more chances to win." She turns around, pulling her track jacket on. "Me and the others are heading back to the hotel. Take your time." She leaves, almost everyone else on the team following her.

Suki sighs. "Are ya watchin' the boys too?"

Mai nods. "Yeah. Come on, Y/n. Don't just stare at the wall. Let's find some seats and watch our boys win."

You slowly grab your bag, slinging it over your shoulder. "Right. Let's go."

***

"Oh no." Suki covers her face.

Mai hangs her head. "That didn't go as well as we hoped."

You close your eyes tightly. "This tournament could not have gone worse."

The taller girl gently places her hand on your shoulder. "We all tried out best. At least we all made it to the finals. Winning isn't everything, Y/n. Let's go down and get ready to head back to the hotel for the night. We need to get rest for the long train ride back tomorrow morning."

You nod, slowly opening your eyes. You sigh, standing up. "Come on. We don't have a reason to be 'ere anymore. I wanna go lay down 'til dinner."

The 2 girls stand, walking through the building with you. All of you stop as the boys' team walks towards you on their way to the changing room.

Atsumu tries looking into your eyes, seeing how you were pushing away your own emotions. "Y/n."

You halt in your tracks. "I'm tired, Sumu. I'm goin' back to the hotel. Try not to make too much noise when ya get back." You continue walking towards the exit of the building, feeling empty after the losses your school's volleyball clubs have faced today.

Mai sighs, watching you disappear. "She just needs a little bit of time. Try comforting her when you get back to your room."

Atsumu nods, taking a step away. "Will do."

Mai and Suki continue to follow you, leaving the building and catching up to you just outside of the stadium. The 3 of you silently make your way back to the hotel.

Upon getting onto the right floor, they pause and watch as you drag yourself to your room. You unlock the door, disappearing into the hotel room. You don't even bother to lock the door. Exhaustion claiming you, you walk to the bed you slept in last night. You drop your bag onto the floor without a care, crawling onto the bed. You don't even pull any of the covers over you, just laying in your track suit on top of the bed. You slow your breathing and close your eyes. Within moments, you slip out of consciousness.

The boys just arrive at the hotel, pausing when they reach the right floor.

Suki and Mai are still standing in the hallway, quietly chatting amongst themselves.

Atsumu starts walking towards his room. "I'm guessin' Y/n's in our room?"

Mai nods. "She hasn't said a word since we left the stadium. I think she might actually be asleep."

He nods, entering the room and quietly closing the door behind him. He looks into the dark room, spotting you laying on top of your bed. He sighs, slowly walking over. He picks up your bag, moving it to a chair in the corner of the room. He sets his own bag down next to it, then walks back over to the bed. He carefully lays down in the open space behind you, gently wrapping his arms around your waist and pulling you closer to his body.

The fake blond kisses the back of your head, nuzzling his face into your hair. "I love ya, Y/n."
