-Y/n's POV-

I quickly found out I had a lot more freedom at Shiratorizawa. It was like they knew I wouldn't run for the sake of Karasuno and because I didn't want to get "punished."

After that first day there when we played volleyball together it was like a small turning point. I felt more at ease there. Maybe it was the feeling of being in Miyagi or Tendou not really following protocol.

I woke up the day after to Tendou barging in on my temporary room. It was about the same as Seijoh's but different color schemes.

"Hey y/n! Breakfast time then how about another set of volleyball?" He said happily as he walked farther into my room with my breakfast. He placed it on the table by my bed and sat in the edge of my bed.

I smiled at him as he beamed at me. "Maybe.. as much as I like playing volleyball, your blocks are my new arch nemesis," I said to please him.

My words were music to his ears. He made a happy noise and took a bite of my toast. "Hey! That's mine I wanted those carbs!" I said and laughed at him. I would have slapped him, but I didn't know how he'd react.

He looked at me and shoved the rest of the toast into his mouth and left. I shook my head and ate the rest of my breakfast. It was uninterrupted and quiet. At Seijoh they'd stay with me while I ate..

Man I miss Aoba Johsai. As weird as it sounds I just know I'll never really get to see them again. Visually yes. Emotionally no. It wasn't the cliche "I fell for my kidnapper" because it wasn't a longing for romance, but for peace.

This whole thing started because of 50 clients that came from nowhere. Because of this I've seen our rival organizations in their natural states. Yahaba and Kyoutani being lowkey gay, Mattsun and Makki being bff goals, and Oikawa being a pure angel.

I don't resent them for kidnapping me. Honestly. I know Karasuno would handle the situation in a smart and careful way. After all I was Karasuno's weakness.

And after Aoba Johsai knowing me a little better, they understood why I was Karasuno's weakness.

Once I finished the breakfast I sat around my room thinking.

I wondered if Tsukishima had gotten my hint. If they had figured out a strategy. If they were still in Tokyo with Nekoma.

I lost my train of thought when Ushijima opened my door. He stood in the doorway staring at me blankly. How long was gonna stand there?

I got up off my bed and approached him very slowly. He stood like a statue, but followed my movement with his eyes. I got about a foot away when I started to reach out my hand. I extended my pointer finger and poked him above his sternum.

He looked down at my finger and then straight through my eyes and into my soul. My eyes widened and I took a few steps back.

"Did you need to tell me something?" I finally asked and he blinked again.

"Tendou wants you to play volleyball with him again," was all he said. I sweatdropped and sighed. That's all he wanted to tell me? That Tendou wanted to play?

"All right," I said and walked past Ushijima and through the doorway. I walked to the backyard and saw Tendou setting the ball upwards repetitively.

He dropped the ball and ran to hug me. My hands were in cuffs so I couldn't really hug him back. He pouted once he remembered, but smiled when I patted his hair.

When we played volleyball I played libero. Partly because I was shorter and partly because I could only bump and set with the handcuffs.

But since it was only Tendou and I today we just bumped it back and forth.

"So y/n I know you haven't been here that long, but which one of us is your favorite?" He asked. I passed the ball back and shrugged.

"Like companies or out of you all from Shiratorizawa?" I asked.

"Shiratorizawa," he clarified and caught the ball I had passed to him. He walked over and tilted his head at me. "I'm waiting for an answer y/n, it can't be that hard," he said. I knew he wanted me to say he was my favorite.

I could either 1) say yes and he love me forever, 2) say someone else and watch him crumble, or 3) say it's a secret and watch him try and figure it out for the rest of my time here. Tough choices.

"It's Shirabu," I said with a thin smile. Tendou jumped back and dropped the volleyball. He blinked at me like Ushijima had done earlier.

"Shirabu come outside!" Tendou yelled. Oh. Oh no. Was he going to call out Shirabu to tell him just because I didn't pick him?

I sighed and got ready for the embarrassment that would come down on me. Shirabu came outside with his regular unamused expression and looked at us.

"What is it Tendou?" He asked and brushed his bangs out of his eyes. Tendou snickered and looked at me. I shook my head at him, but that didn't change the outcome.

"Y/n says you're her favorite out of all of us at Shiratorizawa," he said and slung and arm around Shirabu lazily. Shirabu shrunk at the contact and then looked at me.

His eyes flicked to mine and then at the ground. "Thanks," he mumbled and pushed Tendou off. We watched him walk inside and into another room.

I stood there with a small blush on my face and Tendou noticed. "Oh? Am I going to get to play matchmaker?" He asked happily and towered over me.

I pushed him off and crossed my arms. "I'm getting food," I said and walked away into the kitchen.
