It was early the next morning when Y/N heard a soft whisper. "...Y/N? We have to go now. Get upppp~" 

She rolled over, groaning. "Let me sleep, Kei." Then she heard a snicker.

"BWAHAHAHA I KNEW IT AHAHAHAHAHAH!" Tanaka's booming cackle made Y/N jolt up. She saw him and Nishinoya rolling on the floor while laughing, drawing attention from the rest of the team. She flushed a scarlet as bright as Yamaguchi's while stuttering confusion.

"W-what are you two on?" She rolled her eyes as an attempt to steer the conversation. It did not help at all.

Nishinoya sat up, his eyes still shining from the tears that escaped while he was laughing. With a still lingering chuckle, he said, "So when were you going to tell us you and Tsukishima were dating?"

If most of the team was staring before, now the whole team was paying attention. Asahi was confused as well as Daichi, while Suga was so shook he looked like he couldn't function. Chikara sighed, while his friends looked in shock to him that he knew. Hinata was bouncing around because he WAS right, though pouted that Y/N didn't tell him before. Kageyama was also shook and he glared at Hinata who continued to hop around. Yamaguchi gasped and pulled on Tsukishima's short sleeve, asking, "Tsukki? Tsukki is it true? Why didn't you tell me?"

And as for the mentioned boy himself, he sighed and swiftly walked over to the other two grinning second years. Kei reached for Y/N's delicate wrist and pulled her up and into an anime style embrace. "What a pain..."

"EHHHH??????" Everybody collectively gasped.

Y/N glared at them. "How'd you two idiots figure it out." The way she phrased it wasn't a question, rather an order.

Tanaka sheepishly muttered, "A girl in my class said that one of her kouhai wanted her to show anyone in her class who was in the volleyball club this video, she sent it to me last night and I saw it in the morning."

Both Y/N and Kei froze. She couldn't form the words so he asked instead. "What. Video."

Fumbling, the second year pulled out his phone and handed the two the device. Y/N grabbed it and hit play, a bunch of the players interested to see it as well. Familiar notes filled the room as the team silently watched Tsukishima and Y/N's duet to Filter, that day from just a couple weeks ago.

They looked into each others' eyes and knew at once who this kouhai was. Suzuki Akira.

Y/N leveled her tone, using the same excuse as she did that day. "We had met up before class by accident and I recognized the song. We were just friends then, so how did you know for sure we were dating?"

Tanaka looked at Nishinoya who nodded seriously. He faced back, and Nishinoya spoke this time, all jokes gone from his face. "There was a picture as well."

Everyone's stomachs seemed to fill with ice. Tsukishima, gently taking the phone, clicked out of the video and scrolled down to click on the second attachment. And he blushed an uncharacteristically red, along with Y/N who saw it second.

Chikara fumed and whacked Y/N in the head. "Seriously?! You didn't tell me you guys had..."

The picture was them in front of the Ennoshitas' house the day Tsukishima and Y/N confessed.

Everyone started shrieking, as they had caught a glimpse as well. "YOU GUYS KISSED???!!!!!" But before it could go further, they were called down for breakfast by Takeda-sensei and Coach Ukai.

The rest of the day was filled with training, so nobody had time to discuss what had happened in the morning. There was the occasional hushed whispers between breaks which were flat out ignored by Kei and Y/N.

The practice finally was to end after a long, three mile run which Kiyoko and Y/N stayed back from to start packing up the gym. The girls worked in silence, only listening to the soft fffft of the mops and pshhhh of the water fountain. 

It was nice to have a few moments of relaxation from the tension of the team finding out, Y/N had thought. Then Shimizu asked her a question.

"Y/N-chan, do you need to talk about something? The whole practice today you seemed on edge... And in the morning there was some shouting?" Y/N mentally slapped herself. Did Take and Ukai know as well then?

She sighed, knowing talking to her wiser senpai would help. "Yeah, and Shimizu-senpai? It' s a long story."

She explained the whole story, if you want the detailed version read chapters like three to now again. From how he lifted her spirits to that very first kiss, and the bullying with the video, so on.

Kiyoko smiled when she finished, confusing the other girl. "You know, in the time I've seen you when you visited before and at the beginning of the year even, you've never looked so happy."

And Y/N smiled, with a nod she turned back to the entrance of the gym where Daichi had come through first. She jogged over to him and handed him his towel and water bottle while Kiyoko assisted to the other teammates coming in.

Before she left, though, Daichi pulled her aside. "Y/N, congrats on your relationship, I'm extremely happy for you so you shouldn't be feeling stressed about the way that the news got out." He paused for her to nod agreement, then continued. "Suga and I were thinking, right after the Nekoma match, we'll finally announce ours. We shouldn't have people finding out from a random source." 

Y/N clapped enthusiastically as Daichi made a bashful expression. He looked over to Sugawara who had just come in with Hinata and smiled. It was similar to the way Y/N had been looking at Tsukishima.

This story might just have a happy ending yet.

A/N:

The Nekoma match kinda has two aspects to it, the talking outside of the match and the match itself, so I'll make that into a nice two chapter feature as the next two chapters so don't worry.

We finally see that video, huh? Anyways, be sure to comment of things you like, dislike, or find funny or stupid. Anything that gave you a reaction of any sort, basically.

Irritating and petty as a Y/N,

Saishimi 💜
