For the rest of dinner, Oikawa, Iwaizumi, and you caught up with each other while you would try to occasionally bring poor Atsumu into the conversation.

"Didn't you go to nationals a few times, Atsumu?" you ask the pouting boy next to you whose face immediately lit up.

"Yeah, I've gone quite a few times actually! We even went against Shiratorizawa at nationals and WON!" Atsumu smugly said which caused the two third years to irk.

'Maybe I shouldn't have asked that,' you think to yourself.

"How long have you and Osamu played volleyball?" you curiously ask.

"Since we were 8 years old. We practiced in a club outside of school," Atsumu answers.

"F/n-channnn, this dinner is supposed to be about us catching up! Not about HIM," Oikawa points at the blondie.

"Trashikawa, stop acting like a five year old!"

You frown, "But he's my friend, Oikawa... Atsumu's actually..." You blush and look down at your hands, "He's actually the reason that I got back into volleyball. I'm really grateful and... he's my closest friend at Hyogo." Atsumu blushes and looks away. He wasn't expecting you to admit it in front of Oikawa; however, he was really happy you said that. He stops blushing then turns to Oikawa to give him a smirk. More irk marks appear on Oikawa's head.

"That's good then. Thanks for getting F/n-chan back into volleyball, Miya-san. Knowing her for so long, it's amazing to even hear that she quit volleyball for a whole year. F/n-chan loved volleyball so much growing up with us that she practiced even more than Oikawa and me. If you're her friend, then I'd be glad to be your friend too," Iwaizumi thanks and speaks like a true senpai as Oikawa looks in disbelief. Atsumu smiles but tries to hide his smug face at Oikawa.

"Of course, Iwaizumi senpai! It is no problem."

"Senpai?" Oikawa scoffs as Iwaizumi hits him on the head.

"Well, I'm still F/n-chan's ultimate best friend, so it doesn't matter," Oikawa shrugs as an irk mark appears on Atsumu.

"Well, ya won't be getting to see her for a while so I will be spending more time with her than you," Atsumu smirks.

"Well, I know a lot of her secrets and I've known her longer! Our bond will never fade!"

Atsumu frowns, not knowing what else to say as you sigh.

"You two are like little children. Let's go pay, Hajime," you shake your head as you two get up.

"I'll come too-" the two pretty boys say at the same time but are interrupted by you.

"Just stand out in the front. Hajime and I got this," you leave with Iwaizumi to the counter as the two other boys grumble.

They both walk outside and try to avoid each other. When they get outside, they awkwardly stand there.

"Does F/n-chan like anyone?" Oikawa suddenly asks.

Atsumu stiffens then smirks, "Why ya asking?"

"Because I love her."

Atsumu's eyes pop out and he turns to look at the chocolate haired boy who's looking at the sky.

'How can he be so blunt?! It kind of ticks me off.'

"W-well... I don't know if she does," Atsumu answers honestly.

"Hmm, that's good then; I guess..." Oikawa nods.

He continues, "Do you know who her first love was?"

Atsumu frowns and glares at the older boy, "An alien!"

Oikawa laughs which makes Atsumu glare even more at him like he was crazy.

"Did she tell you that?" Oikawa chuckles.

"Not really... She didn't really tell me who."

Oikawa smirks, "Well, you're right. It was an alien."

Atsumu is about to ask for clarification but is interrupted when you and Iwaizumi walk out.

"Atsumu and I can walk to our place ourselves. You two can just go home; it's getting late," you say as Oikawa pouts.

"But I wanted to spend more time with you. Who knows when I'll get to see you again," Oikawa sadly says.

You look at the tall boy and give him a sad smile, "No worries, Toru. Although we won't be able to see each other, I'll make sure to keep you guys updated, okay? I'll also watch your guys' matches if you guys take videos!"

"When are you leaving, F/n-chan?" Iwaizumi asks.

"Monday morning," you say.

"I'll come by! Don't even think about leaving without seeing me, okay?" Oikawa pulls you into a hug and digs his face into your hair.

He takes in your familiar scent.

"Okay, Toru. See you on Monday then! Bye bye Hajime! It was nice catching up with the two of you," you say then give Iwaizumi a hug.

"Text me when you get there safely!" Oikawa says.

"Bye Miya-san. Get back safely," Iwaizumi waves.

"Of course, Iwaizumi senpai! Byeee."

Once you guys separate, it's quiet between you and Atsumu.

"Was it awkward, Atsumu? I'm sorry," you interrupt the silence.

"It kind of was, but it was interesting listening to what you were like as a kid," Atsumu gives you a cheeky smile which for some reason makes your heart race.

However, you just put that feeling aside and shake your head.

"Who was your first love?" Atsumu suddenly blurts.

You give him a questioning look, "Why are you asking that all of a sudden?"

Atsumu tries to come up with an excuse, "Because that pretty boy said that he knew all of your secrets and was your ultimate best friend. I want to become the ultimate, ultimate best friend, so I need to get closer to you!"

You frown but shrug, "Well, my first love isn't important."

"Was it an alien?" Atsumu decides to guess as you turn to look at him in shock.

You then chuckle a little which sounds like angels to Atsumu. You never laughed much and when you did, it was a blessing.

"Yeah, it actually was," you smile.

"WHAT?! You're joking? That makes no sense!!"

You laugh even more, "Don't laugh, but... it was Percy the alien in that 90s Alien show. Toru and I used to watch it when we were younger and... I had a crush on the alien."

Atsumu stares in disbelief then laughs his butt off.

You pout, "I said, 'don't laugh!!'"

"I'm sorry!! I couldn't help it," Atsumu laughs, then gives you a smile, "you're too cute."

It was like time had stopped for you two. The complement came out of nowhere and it oddly gave you butterflies. You blush a deep shade of red. However, for Atsumu it takes him a good five seconds until he realizes what he had just said.

'Crap," Atsumu thinks. "S-sorry!!! I didn't mean--" 'Oh, why am I even getting flustered?! I call girls cute all the time!!!' his thoughts interrupt him.

"It's okay, Atsumu. Let's just go," you try your hardest to calm your butterflies and walk ahead of him as he slaps himself.

'I'm stupid.'
