Breathless -- Kuroo Tetsurou

[THREE] Study Party

Tanaka, Nishinoya, Kageyama, and Hinata all stood horrified in front of Daichi and Naga. "So you're telling me you guys didn't know we had testing?"

"It's not that we didn't know!" Hinata cried out, panic written all over his face while Tanaka and Noya tried to make a break for it.

"Hey! There's nowhere to run! Ennoshita, grab them!" Daichi yelled.

Naga turned back to Kageyama and Hinata. Both looking like they saw ghosts. "We just don't know if we'll pass."

She turned thoughtful. Naga knew how much going to the training camp meant to these boys. And if they failed even one subject they wouldn't be allowed to go and would have to stay for weekend catch-up over the break. A lightbulb appeared over her head and a grin covered her face.

"A study party!" She cried out, fist pumping the air.

"A what now?" Yamaguchi walked into the conversation, his freckled head cocked slightly to the side.

"A study party! We all go and stay over at one persons house tonight and study as hard as we can for the testing tomorrow so Noya, Kageyama, Hinata, and Tanaka can pass and go to the training camp!" Her grin turned into a maniacal laughter of pure genius-ness. "Why didn't we think of this before? It's a perfect foolproof plan to get them prepared! A night full of cramming is the only true way to do good on a test, y'know."

"No wonder you're failing chemistry." Tsukishima scoffed. Naga whipped around and pointed a finger at his chest.

"What did you say to me four-eyes? I was able to stay at Shiratorizawa for a reason! My grades are impeccable!"

"I think you meant to use past-tense there, Kaminari-San."

A grimace covered her once grinning face and she clenched her fist, "You lamppost, get down to my height and say it to my face!"

Daichi came back over and placed a hand on Naga's shoulder, effectively distracting her while Tsuki made his exit. "I think the study party would be a wonderful idea Kaminaga."

"Awesome!" She beamed, turning her attention back to where Tsuki is, or was. "HEY! Where'd four-eyes go? I'm not done with him yet!" She yelled, looking around the gym only to not see him anywhere. She sighed and dragged a hand down her face. "Whatever." Turning back towards Daichi, she grinned once more. "We'll stay at my place then! The family is already out of town on a Summer Vacation in the South so we'll have the whole house to ourselves." She rubbed her hands together.

"Is your family okay with that? Having a house full of guys isn't necessarily something I think Kaminari-kun would be okay with..." Daichi sweat dropped and rubbed his neck, dropping his hand from her shoulder.

Naga let out a snort and waved her hand, "What my father and brother don't know won't kill them."

Daichi shook his head at the troublemaker girl. "Whatever you say Kaminaga. I'm not taking the downfall for this if someone finds out." She simply shrugged. Naga was used to taking the downfall for a lot of things. Like getting caught egging the town bitches cars. Or getting rid of a "Warning: Wet Floor" sign in the middle of the stairwell so said bitch-bullies would fall down it. She couldn't care less if she got caught. It was all fun and games anyway.

All she would receive was a slap on the hand compared to getting kicked out of a school. She'd handle it fine.

"Alrighty then! Whose all in?" Putting her hands on her hips she stared out at the team in front of her as they were about to pack up and leave.

"All in for what?" Kageyama asked, coming out of his horrified trance. An annoyed tick-mark appeared on Naga's brow as she re-explained what's going on.

"Oh! Yeah I guess I'm in." He scratched the back of his neck while Hinata jumped up and down.

Noya and Tanaka were beaming besides her, vigorously nodding their heads.

A small while later, Naga arrived at her house with her 'study party' walking behind her. She wouldn't deny that she was a bit nervous. As confident and cocky as Naga was, having a bunch of boys she's only known for over a month come and stay over was nerve wracking.

Did she even clean this morning?

Her thoughts left her as she unlocked the front door and slipped off her shoes. "Welcome to casa de Kaminari!" She laughed, motioning to the inside of her house. It was a simple two story home with the kitchen and dining room to the left, living room to the right, and three sets of bedrooms upstairs with a bathroom.

The boys walked in and made themselves comfy in the living room. Setting up all of their supplies and throwing their bags off to the side. It ended up only being Hinata, Kageyama, Suga, Daichi, Tanaka, Noya, and Asahi coming over.

"You guys need anything to drink or snack on?" Naga asked, knowing it was a stupid question considering they all stopped at Coach Ukai's convenience store before coming here. All of them shook their heads so Naga just shrugged. "Suit yourselves!"

Rummaging in her cabinet, she pulled out a package of milk-bread and started to snack as she made her way back to the boys.

Suga was currently trying to teach Kageyama and Hinata some English as they struggled to pay attention. Tanaka and Noya were quizzing eachother on history. And the rest were either looking over their notes or watching a rerun championship volleyball game against Japan and Brazil.

Naga was content. She sat on her L-shaped couch next to Daichi, her eyes fixated on the TV. Not noticing that he had slung his arm loosely behind her head on the top of the couch. Asahi noticed though and he raised an eyebrow at his teammate. Daichi simply sent back a small smile, pushing him to not say a thing. And he didn't.

Around two hours had passed before the others started to get restless. Naga herself was already getting bored. It was almost 9pm at this point and the studying momentum was failing.

"Say..." Nishinoya sat up from where he had slouched himself on the ground against the couch. "You guys want to play truth or dare?"

Naga cocked her eyebrow, the idea intriguing to her. "Why not?" A sly grin crossed her face as she sat up and away from Daichi. His smile fell away from his face as she moved but he brushed it off and went to go sit next to Suga. Suga elbowed his side, subtly teasing him but the captain didn't utter a word. Suga's smile fell and he looked away, a small blush on his face.

Naga stood and moved over the coffee table that was in front of them, giving them more room to sit around in a circle. She was going to move it later anyway so might as well do it now. The boys moved in sync, claiming spots on the ground. Naga sat in between Nishinoya and Tanaka.

"Alrighty!" Nishinoya smiled, looking around the circle. Claiming his title of going first. He noticed Suga's slightly flushed face and targeted him immediately. "Suga! Truth or dare?"
