"It's so crowded," Usui muttered, trying to push through the throngs of people. "I wonder if my cutie pie is already inside." He squeezed through the crowd, using his usual boldness to get himself into the gymnasium.

As he opened the door, someone shoved him from behind, causing him to bump into someone in front of him. "Sorry, didn't see you there," Usui quickly apologized, only to be met with a sharp response.

"How could you not see me when we're at the same height?" the other person shot back, his tone dripping with annoyance. Usui glared at him, frustration bubbling up.

"Sorry, okay?" Usui said, his patience wearing thin. "These people behind me were pushing me."

The stranger raised an eyebrow, his expression skeptical. Usui noticed his 'Nekoma' uniform and his irritation spiked. "So, you're a volleyball player?" Usui crossed his arms, a smirk forming on his face.

The guy mirrored his stance, staring him down. "So?" he replied, not backing down.

"Hope you lose," Usui said, his smirk widening.

The other guy laughed, his smile laced with confidence. "I don't think so." He turned to one of his teammates. "Captain, let's go!" he called out.

The captain turned around, giving Usui one last smirk. "See ya, Mr. Sorryididn'tsawyouthere." With that, he walked away.

"Tsk," Usui muttered, rolling his eyes as he walked off in the opposite direction, his mood dampened but not broken.

"Wow, it's so crowded," (Y/n) murmured to herself as she scanned the room. She was searching for Tsukki, but the crowd made it hard to spot him. The players were all milling about, creating a sea of bodies that pushed her further from where she had last seen him.

As she maneuvered through the crowd, her eyes met Kuroo's across the gym. The moment he saw her, his mood visibly lifted. His face lit up, and he waved, a huge smile spreading across his face. Without thinking, he crossed the distance between them and wrapped her in a tight hug.

"Pumpkin!" he greeted her warmly, his voice light with affection.

"Hubby," (Y/n) smiled, hugging him back, her hands wrapping around his waist. She rested her cheek against his chest, content in the moment.

Kuroo pulled back slightly, his hand lifting to gently tilt her chin upward. His eyes searched hers with a soft intensity. "What's wrong? You seem a little off. Are you in a bad mood?"

(Y/n) noticed the small dark aura lingering around him before their eyes met, and she raised an eyebrow, concerned. "Yeah, there's this guy. He bumped into me and said he didn't see me," Kuroo explained, his voice dripping with annoyance.

(Y/n) cupped his cheek gently, offering him a comforting smile. "How does he look?" she asked, concerned.

"Blond hair, green eyes," Kuroo replied, his hand now resting on her cheek as he brushed his thumb across her skin.

(Y/n) thought for a moment, her mind wandering to Usui, but she quickly pushed the thought aside. "Don't mind him. Maybe he's just jealous," she teased, her playful grin returning.

Kuroo leaned in, brushing his lips across her nose in a soft kiss. "Maybe." He pulled back, his mischievous smirk returning. "Now go. Tsukki's waiting for you."

(Y/n) nodded, breaking the hug. As she turned to leave, Tsukki appeared at her side, jogging toward her. "Tsukki!" she called out, waving enthusiastically.

"There you are! I was trying to find you!" she exclaimed, relieved to finally spot him.

"Sorry, the crowd pushed me away," Tsukki said, rubbing the back of his neck in apology.

(Y/n) stuck her tongue out at him playfully. "Let's go. The others are probably waiting," she said, turning to head in the direction of the team.

"Bye, Hubby. See you later!" she called over her shoulder to Kuroo.

Kuroo smirked, watching them go. "Hoooo? Jealous?" he teased, his voice playful as he turned to follow the rest of his team.

As (Y/n) and Tsukki made their way to the gym, they noticed Hinata's panicked expression. He was frantically searching through his bag, his brow furrowed in frustration.

"What's wrong?" (Y/n) asked, her concern rising as she approached him.

"Someone accidentally switched bags with me," Hinata explained, his voice edged with panic. "I already tried calling, but a woman answered and said she has my shoes. She's waiting outside the building."

Yamaguchi, who had been on the phone, added, "I just got off the phone with her. She said she's outside. I'll go with you, Kiyoko-san."

Kiyoko nodded, taking charge. "I'll handle it. Don't worry about it."

"Are you sure, Kiyoko?" (Y/n) asked, a little nervous.

"Leave it to me," Kiyoko reassured them, flashing a confident smile. "I'll be back soon."

"Be careful," (Y/n) said, her voice filled with concern. She gave Kiyoko a quick nod as she left to sort out the mix-up.

"Let's go inside the gym and stretch," Daichi announced, opening the door to the gymnasium.

"Wow, it's huge," (Y/n) murmured as she looked around, her eyes wide with amazement at the size of the space.

"Hey, it's Tanaka's sister!" Noya suddenly shouted, waving excitedly.

(Y/n) looked up, spotting her brother, Usui, standing nearby and snapping pictures of her. "Cutie pie!" he called, waving at her.

"Woah, who's that guy beside my sister?" Tanaka asked, his eyes wide with curiosity as he watched Usui.

"That's my brother," (Y/n) explained, smiling as she waved back at Usui.

"Cutie pie?" Tsukki asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah, that's Usui. My older brother," (Y/n) replied, still smiling.

"Let's stretch!" she said, eager to get ready for the match.

"HAI!" everyone responded in unison.
