Love letter

Chapter 6

*At afternoon practice.

"Akagi-san" Atsumu called, in a singsong voice.

"We got your letter from your secret admirer" Osamu added, which caught Akagi's interest.

"You met her?"

"Yep. At lunch time" Suna answered.

"Oi! I thought you won't tell him?!" Ginjima angrily asked.

"Oh we won't. We just told Akagi-san we met her. We won't even drop the name" Atsumu said, still grinning.

"What are you planning?" Ginjima looked at him sceptically.

"Nothing! Why? Do i look like I'm scheming something?"

A chorus of yes, yep, and yeah filled the gym.

"Rude. I wasn't planning anything!"

"You've been grinning creepily since we've arrived. Of course some of us would suspect you're up to something stupid" Aran pointed.

"Well, I am thinking about something"

The other members looked at him with a deadpan expression.

"Wow, you're using your brain? Scratch that, you actually have a brain there?" Osamu remarked sarcastically.

Before Atsumu could retaliate, Akagi interrupted him.

"Can you please tell me about her or something? I've been curious"

"She's cute. That's all you need to know" Atsumu said.

"So when can I meet her?" Akagi asked.

The smirk came back at Atsumu's face.

"Well you see, Akagi-san, we-" he said, while gesturing at Suna and Osamu "-promised that we won't tell on her, so we can't say anything about her"

If possible, Atsumu's smile got wider.

"But you can personally see her, you know" Atsumu said, catching the interest of the other club members, including Akagi.

"I thought you won't tell him? Start making sense now or I'll actually punch you" Ginjima said, and to prove a point, he raised his fist.

"Calm down Gin, and think about it. What tha four of us promised is, we won't tell him anything about her. But if he is the one who directly know her, then technically, we aren't breaking our promise" Atsumu proudly declared, in which Ginjima lowered his fist.

"That actually made sense" the members agree.

"But how will I know her, or even see her if you promised not to tell anything to me?" Akagi asked.

"Do what we did!" Atsumu declared.

The members looked at him in a confused manner.

"We know her because we followed Gin. So if Akagi-san did the same thing on his own, then it isn't considered to be breaking our promise, you know" Atsumu added.

"I'm surprised you came up with that, Atsumu. If you use that brain of yours when you're studying instead of making weird plans, you probably passed the exam with no difficulty" Kita said, from the back of Atsumu.

"GAHHH!! Kita-san!" Atsumu nervously said.

"Why are you not practicing? It's time for volleyball, not for useless gossips" Kita added. And on cue, the members started running away from him and started to practice.

*After practice

"Akagi-san, here's the note. I forgot to give it to you a little earlier, because of Atsumu". Ginjima said.

Taking the note from Ginjima's hand and hiding it in his bag, Akagi answered.

"Thanks, and uhh, do you think it's fine to do Atsumu's plan?"

"To be honest, he's right. We're not breaking our promise if it did not directly come from any of us. And it will save me the hassle". Ginjima shrugged.

"So, when are you giving the next note?"

"I'm not sure, it depends on her anyway. The three will probably tag along, now that they know her. It won't be hard to find them even in this large school. With the twin's popularity and all"

"Then, if I time the date correctly, I could follow you?"

"Do what you want, but don't make it look like I'm part of it. She may get mad, yeah?"

"Okay"

And with that, they both parted ways.
