I have actively been avoiding Asahi. After confessing my feelings to him then basically kissing him, I decided that, for the sake of my mental health, I needed to avoid him. It was proving to be difficult, however, because the team really wanted to see us together. Any time Asahi went out to get water, the boys suddenly needed me to fill their water bottles up. Whenever it was a free practice and I was about to leave the gym to hang out with Ukai before he goes drinking with the other coaches, they suddenly need me for their practices.
Asahi isn't the only one I am avoiding. I knew Tsukki hadn't told anyone about catching us in such a comprising situation, but whenever I was alone, he tried to speak to me. I couldn't catch a break. Everyone on the team was asking me questions, it even started rumours with the other teams. Kuroo came up to me asking if I had broken up with the ace, Akaashi wanted to know why we were stuck in the gym together, and Bokuto just wanted me to spike with him.
Asahi was the worst of them all. I could always feel him looking at me. His name was constantly on my lock screen with the texts he sent. He wanted to talk to me in person but I couldn't face him. Every time I saw his face, I was reminded about what had almost happened and what I had done. I knew we couldn't go back to being friends after this, at least I couldn't. It was too painful. So I wallowed in my misery, the only thing keeping me sane was the girls and Ukai who used me as an excuse to stay away from Nekoma's coach. Only Kiyoko knew what had happened. She tried to convince me to speak to him again but I needed time. Yachi wasn't fully aware but she was as supportive as ever. She drew me pictures and gave me long hugs to try and raise my spirits. Ukai and I would practice a little together before he was dragged away but one of the coaches. Despite not knowing what had happened, he was strangely perceptive and kept trying to give advice based on the limited information he had.
My avoidance techniques were working out quite well at least until the last day of camp. Amid the drama, the boys found out we were getting a barbeque once the training camp was over. The managers and coaches already knew this as we were the ones that would be cooking but upon hearing the news, the boys were filled with life and played the best they have ever played in the training camp. Their tricks which they have been honing all week were finally coming together as they kept neck and neck with Fukurodani. Of course, it could also be their anger at the fact that Bokuto-san kept waving at me and calling my name. Noya seemed to roll with even more vigour and Tanaka's screaming was reaching new volumes.
The new tricks and skills even led to Bokuto's 'emo mode', as I heard Akaashi call it. Poor baby owl, I almost wanted to cheer for him to make him feel better. Despite this, Fukurodani still won, meaning the boys finished the camp with only three wins. They finished their punishment and were quick to go practice some more before their meal. I snuck away from the gym once the game finished. I knew they would try and talk to me and I wasn't in the mood. I had grabbed some empty bottles and went outside to the water stations to go fill them. While there, I saw Akaashi and Bokuto, who was still cheering about how awesome he was.
"Hey! Hey! Hey! Y/n-chan! Did you see my amazing spike? I won the game! Wasn't I amazing?" Bokuto was quick to envelop me in a hug, lifting me off the ground.
"You were great, Bokuto-san! I wish I could see you play some more!" I knew just what to say to stroke his ego. Noya, Tanaka, and Hinata were good practice.
"Hey! Hey! Hey! You could come to Fukurodani! Our coach would love to train you, then you can see me play all the time!" Bokuto suggested.
"She has a life in Miyagi, Bokuto-san. Her family, her, friends, and her boyfriend are all there." I instantly deflated at Akaashi's words.
"He's not my boyfriend." They must have caught the change in my tone because they both turned to me.
"What's wrong, Y/n-chan?" Bokuto asked, quietly for once.
