Something was wrong with Nishinoya, and Sugawara knew it. He'd narrowed down the list to about ten different possibilities, but one seemed a little more likely than the rest. Then again, it was based on speculation and no real knowledge, so it could be completely false. God dammit, he'd just have to ask the libero, wouldn't he?
Well, if that's what he had to do...
"Nishinoya."
"What."
"Come get Gari-Gari-kun with me."
"No."
"It wasn't a request."
"Fine."
It had only been a few minutes since the two boys had bought their ice pops when Noya finally broke down. He told Suga everything, from the beginning. His crush, how it turned into love, how it was clear that it was unrequited. How he couldn't even look at Sugimoto, how he couldn't stop himself from hating him, even though he didn't want to.
How he wanted Asahi for himself, but couldn't manage to tell him before it was too late.
How now, he had to watch his love falling in love with someone else.
