End of the School Day
"MICHI MICHI!"
Michiko turned her head to what sounded like a raging pterodactyl (Tsukki where you at) but instead found her best friend. Izumi had a happy yet determined look on her face as people made way for her. Izumi ran like a raging bull and tackled Michiko to the ground like she was an American football player.
"Hi, Izumi," Michiko groaned with a small smile.
"I missed you so much! I made sure that you got me as a roommate! I can't let you go rooming with any creeps at the school Michi Michi~."
"I know, the receptionist at the front office told me-"
"Come on! Let's go to our dorm! I made sure that your stuff was dropped off once the school day was over so that we can move it in together!"
"Aw, thanks, Izu, you didn't have to."
"Nonsense! You're the Shrek to my Donkey, after all. Now let's go. I got some Takoyaki for you as a welcoming gift!"
Michiko's eyes sparkled at the word 'Takoyaki'. She was excited now. The two girls walked to their dorm. There were a few boxes of Michiko's things waiting outside of the door. They moved the boxes in the dorm. Izumi handed Michiko the tray of Takoyaki, and Michi chomped on them like Pac-Man. Michiko observed the room as she munched. Considering that Izumi lived here, it was pretty organized and clean.

"You haven't changed, still playing video games, I see," Michiko chuckled at her best friend's small gaming setup, "Did you not have a roommate last year?"
"At the beginning of the year, I did, but they couldn't handle my late-night gaming antics, so they moved out," Izumi rubs the back of her head sheepishly, "Luckily, you're here now! And a night owl who likes to game too~."
"You'll enable my bad habits Izu..." Michiko sweatdropped.
"Hey, once you finish eating, wanna come to my volleyball practice?"
"Sure, we can go now. I'll finish my Takoyaki on the way there."
Izumi grabbed her duffle bag while Michiko grabbed her school bag. The two walked straight to the gymnasium where the boys' and girls' volleyball clubs were held. They entered the gym and went to the bleachers. Izumi set her duffle bag and dug through it, grabbing her practice clothes.
"I'm gonna go change really quick. I'll be back."
Michiko nodded as Izumi left to go change in the locker room. Michiko looked around the gymnasium and noticed how large it was. The boys were here practicing too. Izumi came back and started to put her knee pads and volleyball shoes on.
"Is that you, Matsuragi-chan?" a familiar voice popped up.
The girls turned their heads and spotted Komori Motoya jogging towards them. Izumi gave a shy wave to her crush, and Komori blushed a little at the gesture. Michiko wiggled her eyebrows while Izumi responded by sticking her tongue out.
"Hey, long time no see Komori-kun," Michiko greeted back with a small smile.
"So, you've finally returned, huh? A certain someone really missed you~."
"I know, Izumi wouldn't stop blowing up my phone today," Michiko glanced at her best friend.
"I was thinking of a different person..."
"Really? Who?" she asks, tilting her head to the side, confusion evident on her face.
Before Komori could say more, his coach yelled at him for getting distracted by the girls' practice. He said goodbye to the girls and went back to the boys' court. Michiko looked back to the boys' side. She glanced around until she made eye contact with Sakusa. Michiko smiled at him, and Sakusa immediately turns away, not wanting her to see the blush forming on his face. Maybe he's in a mood today?
"You alright there, Sakusa?" Komori asks with a grin.
"It looked like you were ignoring Nakanishi-chan there because you kept talking to Matsu-chan. I thought you liked her. You wouldn't want to give your crush the wrong idea if she actually likes you back." Sakusa retorted, deflecting from his cousin's question.
"Wait! That's not what I intended!" Komori starts to panic as he starts to think about how he might ruin his chances with Izumi.
"Stop getting so flustered. Come on, we have practice."
"Mou... You're the one who made me flustered."
Sakusa ignored his cousin as he stole glances at Michiko working on her homework. The corners of his lips moved slightly upwards, but they immediately reverted to a straight line as he focused on practice.
Time Skip to the End of Practice
Izumi walked up to Michiko with sweat dripping down her forehead.
"Michi Michi, I'll be back. I need to change out of these clothes."
"You definitely should. You smell like a donkey."
"Shrek?!"
The two just laughed at their inside joke. They both notice Komori approaching them with Sakusa trailing behind (Sakusa been social distancing before Rona even happened🤪).
"Oh, hey Mori-kun~" Izumi shyly greets the libero.
"Mori-kun?" Michiko snickers.
"Urusai Michi Michi," Izumi pouts.
"Hey, Nishi-chan! Matsuragi-chan! So, uh Nishi-chan, do you want to hang out tonight?"
"That sounds great!" Izumi says excitedly, "Is it alright if Michiko comes with us?"
"Izumi, I don't want to impose-"
"Matsuragi-chan can come!" Komori turns to look at Sakusa, "Oi, Sakusa. We're going out tonight. Wanna come with us?"
Sakusa gave a dreaded look. He knows I hate going out, especially if there are crowds. I'll just say no because I have homework to do-.
"Matsuragi-chan is coming~."
"Sure."
This guy... Komori gives an all-knowing grin.
