being told you weren't allowed to play was way worse than not being put in because you aren't a very good player. that was something m/n suzuki continued to think about as he sat next to rei on the bench, who looked even more upset as he was one of the players put in the most.
"i'm sorry rei, i didn't mean to get you in trouble." m/n apologized, eyes never leaving the game happening in front of him.
"shut up, it's not your fault," he grumbled, pushing him a bit with his elbow. "just ignore what i said yesterday—not that i thought you were going to listen anyways since you like them i guess."
m/n stood up in excitement when karasuno won, he was anxious. not doing anything at all really got to him. m/n hesitantly tugged on his brothers shirt, "can we sit together on the bus?"
rei nodded, maneuvering through the team to let daichi know he wasn't going to sit with him. at first, daichi was a little hesitant considering they had been fighting lately and didn't want them to start a fight on the bus home, but he was glad the two were at least trying.
maybe sitting them out was a little harsh, but if it gave them a little push then he can live with himself.
so when the two sat side by side in the back of the bus he couldn't help but turn to check on them a few times.
"this all needs to stop," m/n spoke calmly and quietly, "i have so much respect for you and i really appreciate everything you do for me but we have to have some sort of boundaries."
rei nodded, surprisingly calm. m/n took that as a sign to continue. "for example, my relationships. i want to be able to date whoever i want without feeling like i'm the one doing something wrong." he said quietly,
"and i know you don't like oikawa but i want him to be able to come over and feel welcome." it was obvious rei favored iwaizumi over oikawa but m/n was with both of them. he wanted them both to feel comfortable and welcome around rei and in their home.
"i understand."
m/n nodded, "is there...anything you want to add maybe?"
rei pursed his lips, "you don't have to but...i'd like if you came to me more? i know it's hard to do that considering how i've acted but still, you know?"
"i can try."
"can i have that weirdo's number?"
m/n deadpanned, "don't call him that."
rei shrugged and pulled out his phone (he finally got it fixed) and tried handing it to m/n, but m/n leaned away as if it was contaminated. "get that disgusting thing away from me, i'll just send it to you."
rei sighed and leaned back in his seat, shooting a smile to daichi who gave him a thumbs up.
