"ENNOSHITA-CHAN IS COMING WITH US FOR PERSONAL PRACTICE HEY HEY TO THE HEYYYYY!" Bokuto yelled with his arms out in front of him, eyes closed by the sheer power of his own energetic smile. 

Y/N smiled back, it was too hard not to. Tetsurou being the overprotective onii-chan he is put his hands on her shoulders, trying to steer her away from the pair of Fukurodani boys.

After Bokuto looked like he was going to cry seeing her go though, he let her stay per Akaashi's request. Besides, Y/N herself wanted to focus entirely on Bokuto's hitting style better, and what worked well for Fukurodani.

"Ah.... Ennoshita-chan." The blue-eyed setter said to her as they walked back on the court. "Do you play volleyball? You seem to know the game on a personal level."

The girl looked at him. "I used to play setter. Tetsu and Kenma taught me almost all I know!" She sighed. Well, she was more grateful for those old moments before.... everything.... than ever. 

Akaashi's interest spiked upwards like Bokuto's bi-colored hair. "Then... I can block if you'd be kind enough to set for Bokuto-san." They exchanged a small smile and Y/N walked back to the other side of the net where she gave the ace an enthusiastic high-ten.

When she glanced back into those ocean-eyes of Akaashi's from across the net, his world stalled for an ever-so-sweet moment, before fading back into reality. So they practiced. Y/N's sets seemed to be sucked right into Bokuto's hand and he hit all sorts of shots with ease. Already she adjusted to his ideal height of the jump to the perfect distance from the net to maximize the power gained. From cross shots to straight down the sideline, he was on fire.

Meanwhile, the setter providing as their blocker for the time being, could guess Bokuto's moves with little concentration. He knew the ways of the ace, so to speak. However Akaashi was still not adjusted to the raw power behind the spikes, so while he touched the ball most of the time, he was blown back quite a bit as well.

Y/N saw this and asked Bokuto if they could have a small breather. With a small gesture to Akaashi's sweaty form, he gave an okay sign and went to pester Kuroo, who was "training" a tall first-year from Nekoma that looked to be dead.

She immediately speed walked over to the dark-haired boy who smiled slightly as she handed him his water bottle and towel. "Arigato, Ennoshita." Y/N laughed slightly and the older boy was bewildered. "Did I say something wrong?"

"No...." She giggled, then let out a breath. "You sound like my teacher or something, since because of my older cousin other students and the team call me by my given name."

He ran some calculations through his head. Then, arrived at an answer. "So then..."

"Let me call you Y/N?" She smiled, not even blushing this time. Y/N nodded her head.

"That sounds great Akaashi-senpai!" And though he didn't show it like Tanaka and Nishinoya did, he went soft at the -senpai. 

Though it felt unbalanced to him. "Eito.... if you'd like you can call me Keiji... no need to be so formal if I call you by your given name, right?"

"So sweet..." She whispered. Out loud, however, she responded with a bright, "Hai! Keiji-senpai!"

Before either of them could say any more, Kiyoko's sweet voice carried across the court. "Y/N-chan! Let's go eat with the rest of Karasuno before the cafeteria closes."

Waving goodbye to Akaashi, she gave Bokuto a dramatic hug of departure, and playfully thwacked Tetsurou when he tried to get a hug back. She paused in front of the green-eyed first year that the rooster-head was training earlier, and he looked up. She gave him a hand and he took it, with a gleaming smile. He stood up, and they waved goodbye without uttering a single word.

Kiyoko huffed a small breath as they joined Yachi who was waiting outside, shaking slightly as she suspiciously eyed the tall senpai and the taller first year who was leaving with a peace sign thrown back. The blonde quivered slightly. "Ennoshita-san, do you know those people?"

Y/N smiled wistfully, cheeks pink. "Now I do." 

The other two eyed the girl who seemed almost to be glowing. The eldest sighed again. "What about Tsukishima-kun then?"

Her daydream shattered. Y/N looked down, with a bittersweet taste climbing the back of her throat. Flashes of the nightmares pulsed in her mind and she shut her eyes, clutched her head.

"E-e-ennoshita-san!" Yachi stuttered, terrified even further. Y/N jolted back, though not without trembling violently.

Her eyes drifted from a sudden wave of exhaustion and she murmured, "Kei...."

Then, pitch black.

Yachi shrieked and Kiyoko's eyes widened at once. The raven headed senpai sprinted down the hall to the cafeteria while calling back, "Hitoka-chan, stay here with Y/N I'm getting help for her!"

All her strength pounded out through her legs as Kiyoko burst into the cafeteria, and continued to where most of Karasuno was sitting.

Daichi saw the manager and rushed up at once to see what was wrong. "Shimizu what happened?!"

"It's Y/N-chan!" Her voice was thick. "She collapsed!"

-Time Skip to 11 PM same day-

Head throbbing, Y/N's eyes fluttered awake. She seemed to be lying down on one of the beds in the nurse's office. Still at the school, that's good. She slowly got up, groaning.

A figure shifted from the chair next to her and she froze, not moving a muscle. The shadowed figure stretched with a yawn and Y/N caught a glimpse of short pale gold curls. She didn't release the tension, however she still whispered cautiously, "Kei?! Is that you?"

She heard a hum in response, then saw him get up. And soon saw him standing beside her bed, his glasses were in his hand.

He spoke with his voice an octave lower, sending a chill through Y/N's entire body. "You know how worried I was?"

She couldn't even respond because he set his glasses on the side and growled again. "I wouldn't leave you, you know. I carried you here after you passed out."

He sat down on the side of the bed, still not breaking eye contact. "Why do I do this to myself? Why does it happen that every time I give myself in to trust, I get even more hurt? Why do I care so much about some flirty idiot?" Kei's voice started to break. And though Y/N was far from being an  idiot, she couldn't fire back. Why? Because he said this.

"Because I'm in fucking love with you, moron. I love you to the moon and back. And I can't let you go." He moved too quickly for Y/N to register what was going on. He had pinned her so she was lying back down, him on top of her, with his arms on either side of her face.

"So let me kiss you until I'm drunk on your taste."
