the boys had dinner without
you, letting you take your
bowl into your room so you
could catch up with the
assignment you said you
had.

akaashi was the one who
let them know about the
situation since obviously
it wasn't going to come
from you. being friends for
years now had them learn
that you weren't the type
to actually talk about
your deeper feelings since
you didn't want to burden
them or look dramatic.

they respected it, talking
amongst themsleves instead.
after all, you just knew atsumu
and osamu fought.

you didn't know why.

akaashi keiji
"i don't know what to do
or what to tell her."

"it's obviously upsetting her
but at the same time we can't
just tell osamu to suck it up."

kozume kenma
"this is the drama we were
talking about a while ago."

bokuto koutarou
"kenma..."

kozume kenma
"i'm just saying."

kozume kenma
"sure it didn't turn out to be
a twin versus twin situation
but in the end, y/n's caught
in between their fight."

kuroo tetsurou
"yeah but still."

"it's not his fault you know.
osamu's allowed to be
protective of himself."

kozume kenma
"i know but i'm allowed to
be protective of y/n."

kuroo tetsurou
"kenma, osamu can't help
but be defensive. anybody
would want to protect their
heart after learning they
were used like osamu was."

kozume kenma
"yeah but why can't he talk
to her?"

kozume kenma
"y/n hates being ignored."

kozume kenma
"you guys all know she'd never
ignore anybody no matter how
mad she is because she hates
the feeling of not mattering
enough that someone wants
to keep her in their life."

kozume kenma
"osamu's my friend but if i'm
picking someone here, i'm
picking y/n."

bokuto koutarou
"kenma don't say that... come
on, let's not make him the bad
guy."

"bokuto's right."

kozume kenma
"you guys are really okay
with y/n not knowing why
she's not being answered?
she's probably texting him
and asking if he's okay and
he's allowed to ignore her
because his heart got broken
in high school?"

kuroo tetsurou
"kenma that's not what we're
saying."

kozume kenma
"he could at least tell her he
needs time and space."

kozume kenma
"she shouldn't have to be the
one to piece things together."

"butㅡ"

kozume kenma
"but what akaashi?"

kozume kenma
"if i was osamu and i cared
enough about y/n i'd tell her
the truth and that i just need
time."

kozume kenma
"i respect that it's a hard
situation and that we can't
just up and tell everyone why
they're fighting especially
when atsumu asked us not
to get involved."

kozume kenma
"but it just hurts to see someone
so loving cry because she thinks
she did something wrong."

kozume kenma
"did she ever over step?"

kozume kenma
"we all know y/n's not that
cheeky and that she moves
when someone else moves."

kenma got up from his seat
and picked his bowl up.

"kenma where are yㅡ"

kozume kenma
"i'm gonna go hangout with
y/n and make sure she
doesn't feel lonely."

soon, kuroo, akaashi and
bokuto were left at the
table.

"he's digging too deep."

bokuto koutarou
"i don't want everyone to
start fighting..."

"hey no we're not fighting...
kenma's just doesn't want
y/n to be sad."

bokuto koutarou
"is this my fault? for trying
to set them up?"

kuroo tetsurou
"bo it's not."

kuroo tetsurou
"we didn't know osamu felt
this way or was still trying
to let his past relationship
go."

"even atsumu thought osamu
was going to be a little more
open with finding happiness
through y/n."

bokuto sniffled, clenching his
fists on his lap.

bokuto koutarou
"i tried to get her to come to
practice today but she didn't
want to come."

bokuto koutarou
"i wanted to keep an eye out
for her but she told sakusa
and suna that she wasn't
feeling good."

bokuto koutarou
"fuckㅡ it just feels so shitty
to know that y/n's hurt and
we can't do anything."

kuroo tetsurou
"hey no dude it's okay."

kuroo tetsurou
"samu's gonna come around
and if he's not ready then he's
not ready."

"everyone can still be friends
you know that right?"

kuroo tetsurou
"let's finish dinner and then
we can all hangout in y/n's
room."

kuroo tetsurou
"don't feel bad bo this isn't
in your control."

kuroo tetsurou
"i know kenma was kinda
really harsh but he's just
as worried as you, okay?"

"we just end up dealing with
things differently."

"one thing we can do is be
with y/n so we can all keep
her happy, okay?"

bokuto koutarou
"okay."
