Summary:

@I_know_your_Secrets: If we are following you, it means you are hiding something, and we know it. who wants to go first? if no one voluntears, I guess we can choose somebody randomly, so be ready :)

Chapter Text

 

“Are you also being followed by this profile?” Oikawa asked, turning his body in his seat to look at his classmate who was right behind him. 

“What are you talking about?” Kuroo asked looking up from his notes.

They were sitting in the end of the classroom, thing that didn’t make sense especially considering Kuroo was a good student who paid attention in class and Oikawa was practically blind and needed glasses to see the board, but the loved being at the end of the classroom, that way they could talk softly without bothering anybody.

“This page, look.” Oikawa extended his phone to the boy of black hair who looked at his friend tiredly.

Kuroo was trying to pay attention, but Oikawa didn’t enjoy chemistry as much as Kuroo did, and that was the reason he was checking his instagram in the middle of class. 

Kuroo sighed before looking at the profile Oikawa was showing him, it had the user of @I_know_your_secrets, the profile picture was a happy face, and it only had the description of; “I hope you all are ready :) who wants to go first?”  Also the profile was following only 35 people, it didn’t have any followers, and it hadn’t posted anything yet. 

“I don’t know, can you check the people they are following to see if it's following me?” Kuroo asked, giving the phone back. 

Oikawa took his phone and started doing what Kuroo told him. 

“It follows you too.” 

“Weird. Ignore it, I’m sure it’s nothing.” 

“But what if it’s something bad, Tetsu-kun?” Oikawa asked. 

“How bad can an instagram page be?”

“Can you two shut up?” Daichi asked, tired of hearing the two boys next to him. 

“But Daichi,” Oikawa said, dragging the letter of his name. “I’m bored.”

“You just said that because your Iwa-chan is not in this class.” Kuroo teased going back to writing what was on the board. 

“Well, you two are boring.” 

“Go sit with Ushijima then.” Daichi said, copying Kuroo and going back to work. 

“Fuck no.” Oikawa stayed silent after that, but the bad feeling he had when he saw the weird profile didn’t disappear

@I_know_your_Secrets: If we are following you, it means you are hiding something, and we know it. who wants to go first? if no one voluntears, I guess we can choose somebody randomly, so be ready :)

 

“Okay maybe Oikawa was right.” Kuroo murmured looking at his phone. 

The weird instagram profile made a post, it was a photo in black with a smiley face in white, the text was in the description, it was weird and a little threatening, Kuroo was sitting in his usual spot in the cafeteria. 

“About what?” Bokuto asked with his mouth full of food. 

“A instagram profile, it said they will reveal secrets of the people it’s following.” Kuroo explained showing his cellphone to his friend. 

“Oh it’s following me too!” Bokuto said.

“I believe it’s also following me.” Akaashi murmured next to Bokuto.  “What about you Kenma?”

The three guys in the table turn their heads to the boy with the dyed hair, he had his head down looking at his phone, Kenma had been all week obsessing over a game, when the screen showed the game over sign he looked up.

“I don’t know, I don’t care to be honest.” Kenma murmured. 

“But what if they tell your secrets?” Kuroo asked.

“You should only worry if you have something to hide.” And with that Kenma went back to his game.  

Did Kuroo have something to hide? The answer was yes, he had a lot of things he was hiding away, one of them was his strong crush on the boy sitting in front of him.Kenma wasn’t even looking at him, but Kuroo felt like he wanted to scream.  Kuroo finished his food in silence, ignoring Bokuto and Akaashi who kept talking about different things that Kuroo didn’t hear.

 

“Kageyama! Did you see this?” Hinata asked, showing his phone to Kageyama.

They were sitting in the grass Kageyama was throwing the ball to the air when Hinata talked, at the end the ball ended up hitting him in the head. 

“Hinata boke!” Kageyama yelled at the ginger.

“It’s not my fault you hit yourself!” Hinata responded yelling back. “anyway, see this.”

“What it's that?”

The boy with black hand takes the phone from Hinata’s hands to see what he was showing him, ignoring the electricity that ran through his body when he touches Hinata’s hands.

“An instagram page, it says it will reveal people’s secrets.” He explained.

“That’s stupid” Kageyama murmured returning the phone.

“You two are stupid.” A third voice said. 

“What did you say?!” Hinata turned his head to look at the trio that was slowly approaching. 

“Don’t be mean Tsukki.” Yamaguchi said, coming behind the tall blonde.

“What are you guys talking about?” The only girl in the group asked. 

Even if Tsukishima swore he hated all of them, except Yamaguchi, he went everyday to that specific spot to see the others boys playing like they always did, Yachi accompanied them if she had time between classes.

“About this new instagram page.” Hinata answered happily forgetting his inicial annoyance towards Tsukishima. 

“The one of the secrets?” Yachi asked, sitting in the grass next to Hinata.

“Yeah.”

“It 's stupid.” Kageyama repeated.

“Why, King, are you afraid they show something yours?” Tsukishima asked.

“Stop calling me that.” Kageyama grumble. “And no, I don’t have anything to hide.”

“Then I don’t know why you care so much.”

 

“SemiSemi~” The redhead said, coming closer to his friend.

“Tendou, shut up.” Semi responded, trying to ignore his best friend who was leaning on his desk to talk to him.

“This is important.” Tendou insisted.

“What?” 

Semi was tired, he would never admit it but he loved his best friend, but right now he was hating with all his soul the redhead. They were in class and he didn’t understand that class and Tendou was distracting him. 

“Can I go to your house in the afternoon?” 

“Sure, can you shut up now?” Semi responded angrily. 

“Yes, sir.” 

Semi was ready to go back to work when he noticed that his classmates weren’t paying attention, they seemed invested in something in their phones. 

“What happened?” Semi asked Tendou, but the boy just shrugged, so he turned to his left. “Iwaizumi, something happened?"

The guy lifted his eyes from his phone to see him. Iwaizumi was next to him in most of his classes, the two didn’t talk too much because they belonged in different friend groups, but they were friendly to each other most of the time.

“Do you know the page on instagram of secrets?” 

“Yeah, I saw it this morning.” 

“Well it posted the first secret.”  Iwaizumi said, going back to his phone.

Semi turned his head to watch Tendou who was looking at his phone with a smile.

“Well,” The redhead said, extending his phone to Semi. “This will be interesting.”

 

The class of second years was a mess as always, Shirabu and Yahaba were fighting over what was the correct answer, even if both of them were wrong, Atsumu and Osamu were eating in the end of the class, Suna was sleeping in his seat, Terushima was talking to someone over the phone, Akaashi was reading a book that had nothing to do with the subject and Kenma was playing games in his phone. 

This class was always a mess in that hour, nobody wanted to listen to the teacher and the teacher didn’t want to waste his time, so it was basically a lost hour. 

Kenma wasn’t bothered by the mess, nobody was paying attention to him so it was perfect, then he noticed Akaashi, who was seated next to him, was talking.

“Sorry, I wasn’t listening,” Kenma said looking at his friend. “what?”

“Look at the secret page in instagram, it posted something.” 

Kenma got out of his game to go to the instagram app, the post was the first thing that appeared in his feed, it was a photo in all black, with two names written in white. In the description was the secret, but Kenma hadn’t read it yet, his eyes were still fixated on the two names, because he couldn't believe the first secret was about Kuroo Tetsuro and Bokuto Koutarou.

He looked up to find the blue eyes of Akaashi looking at him with the same confused expression.  

 

Kuroo was sitting in his class of history completely bored when he felt someone punching his arm. 

“What the fuck, Yaku?!” Kuroo said, trying his best to not raise his voice, he didn’t want to get detention for interrupting class again. 

“Check your phone asshole.” The short guy told him. 

“Why?” 

“Just do it, and tell Bokuto to do it too.” 

Bokuto was next to him, at his left, when Yaku was at his right, but Bokuto was sleeping. Kuroo took his phone out of his pocket to see what Yaku was talking about, he had a new notification in instagram, someone had tagged him in a post. He almost had a heart attack when he noticed the tag was from the secrets page. 

@I_know_your_secrets has made a post

@I_know_your_secrets: Kuroo Tetsuro and Bokuto Koutarou are two guys from third year, who had said multiple times they are single, and they only had what they call a “bromance”. It looks like they had taken off the B of bromance in the last party :) 

Kuroo watched in horror how a second post appeared in his feed, a video he recognized in a second,  the video showed him and Bokuto in a room, Kuroo was sitting in Bokuto’s lap, they were making out. It happened at a party almost a month ago, he swore nobody was there except  from them, and he and Bokuto had promised not to tell anybody. 

He knew some people were looking at him but he didn’t care at that moment. Kuroo wanted to scream when he saw that Kenma had liked the post. His best friend and  crush had just seen a video of him making out with another guy, if he had any chances of being with Kenma before now he had lost them. 

 

The likes went up quickly, the page was starting to get hundreds of followers, everything looked like he had predicted. He closed the page of secrets to open his own profile to like the post like he wasn’t the one who posted them. 

“This was a great idea.” He said with a little smile in his face, he was ready to see the chaos begin.

Chapter 2: Secret Dating

Summary:

_know_your_secrets: We have never seen him dating anybody, but apparently he had been dating in secret with a mysterious person. How long have they been dating and who are they? 

Chapter Text

 

“Tsumu, I’m going to Suna’s house.” Osamu said, opening the door of the room of his twin. 

“I don’t care.” He responded.

Atsumu was checking his instagram, he didn’t even hear when his brother closed the door to get out, he checked again his text, he hadn’t replied, Atsumu had convinced himself that Sakusa wasn’t ignoring him, but he didn’t even read his texts, the boy was in fact ignoring him, and he wasn’t sure what he did to deserve that treatment. 

He considered texting him again, but he didn’t want to look desperate, so he went into his group chat and pressed the group call icon. He waited a couple of seconds before somebody picked the call.

“Tooru-kun.” Atsumu said with a smile as he watched the boy, they were in a video call waiting for the others to pick up.

“Tsumu-chan, what happened?” 

“Nothing, I’m bored, and I need to talk to somebody about the secrets page.”

“What are we talking about?” A third voice said joining the call.

“Hi Suga!” The two boys responded the moment they saw the white hair guy appear on screen.

“Tsumu was just as asking about the secret page, did you see it?” Oikawa said.

“Yeah, I didn’t expect that to be honest.” 

Suga was being honest, he had seen the post while he was in class, and he didn’t personally know Kuroo and Bokuto but they looked like just friends.

“I kinda feel bad for them, I don’t know if they are dating but they didn’t tell anybody for a reason.” Atsumu murmured, he wound like the word to know about something he hadn’t told himself.

“Okay the real question is who do you think is the person behind the page?” Oikawa asked about changing the topic.

“This sounds like a plan you’ll make.” Atsumu responded in a teasing tone.

“Hey! I know I’m a bitch but I’m not that mean.” Oikawa pretended to be offended.

“I don’t know, maybe it's someone we don’t know about.” 

“Yeah, maybe.” 

“What do you think they know about us?” Suga asked this time.

“That we are gay.” The two boys responded at the same time making Suga laugh. 

“That’s not a secret.”

Suga was sitting in his living room, while Atsumu was in his bedroom, Oikawa was in a place neither Atsumu or Suga recognized, it didn’t look like his bedroom or his living room.

“Oikawa, where are you?” Suga asked.

“Oh, I’m at Iwa-chan’s” Oikawa responded with a smile.

“Oi Shittykawa! get out of my house if you are just gonna talk to the phone.” Iwaizumi screamed, he was not in the angle of the camera but he sounded just next to Oikawa.

“Mean!” Oikawa complained. “sorry guys I gotta go.” 

“It’s fine, Tooru-kun, go get your man.” 

“Bye guys.”

 

“This is terrible.” Murmured Kuroo hiding his face in his hands.

“What are you talking about’” Daishou was next to him, playing the video at full volume. “It’s the funniest shit I have ever seen.”

“Daishou stop.” Kita said while drinking his tea, he was sitting on the other sofa, in front of the one Daishou and Kuroo were sitting in.

“Yeah, let Kuroo breath.” Daichi said, but the smile on his face didn’t say the same, he was enjoying a little too much watching Kuroo suffer.

“I don't see the problem, like if you two are together, congrats, why the big deal?” This time Terushima was the one who asked, he was sitting in the armrest of the sofa, watching the video on Daishou's phone.

“We are not together!” Bokuto whined. He was lying on the floor. 

“I don’t understand what the problem is.” Ushijima murmured looking at Daichi for him to give an answer, and Daichi just shrugged.

They were in the living room of Daichi’s house, Kuroo didn’t want to walk back home with Kenma so he and Bokuto were hiding there. Daishou and Terushima ended up following them, Kita and Ushijima were already in Daichi’s because they were doing a project before the others appeared. 

“I don’t know how to explain this to Kenma.” Kuroo said frustrated with the situation. 

“What Akaashi will say?” Bokuto was in a worse mental state than Kuroo, he even hadn’t lifted his head from the floor.

“Guys, I’m sorry to break it to you, but you guys are not dating them.” Daichi responded, tired. “You don’t owe them an explanation.” 

“Yeah, but you kinda owe us one,” Terushima said. “Like what the fuck is that video?”

“Just if you two are comfortable enough to tell us.” Kita intercepted. 

“It was the moment of the party.” Kuroo explained after. “I don’t know, we were kinda drunk.” 

“To be honest, I don’t remember what happened at that party.” Daichi murmured.

“So, Kuroo, is Bokuto a good kisser?” Terushima asked in between laughter.

“Fuck you, I’m not answering that.”“It kinda looks like you're enjoying that.” Daishou was also laughing.

“Bitch I bet it was you.” Kuroo was ready to kick Daishou in the face.

“If I had that video in my possession I would have used it as blackmail against you.” Daishou said with a proud smile on his face.

“Dude, that’s weird.” 

“You are weird.”

“So I am the weird one?”

“Guys I swear I will throw you to the street if you two don’t shut up.” Daichi stopped them because he was already done with their bickering.

The peace and silence only lasted for a few seconds.

“Where is Oikaa-kun?, he would respect me.” Kuroo murmured.

“Oikawa would be laughing at you.” Daichi said, making the rest of them laugh at Kuroo’s hurt expression. 

“And I believe he is with Iwaizumi.” Ushijima responded unbothered by the chaos that was around him.

 

 

“You are a little bitch, I hate you.” Yahaba was sitting in his bed, looking at the boy next to him.

“You love me, shut up.” Shirabu responded without lifting his eyes from his book. “And I will not take back what I said, you have a horrible taste in men.” 

“I don’t like him.”

“Yeah sure, I believe you.” Shirabu's voice was always in that sarcastic tone, especially when he talked with Yahaba. 

“You don’t have right to said that when you deny your crush.”

“That’s because you are wrong, and I don’t have a crush on him.”

Their little fight was interrupted when the phone of Yahaba ringed with a notification. 

“What's that?”

“Oh it's just an alert, it rings when the secret account posts something.”  Yahaba explained checking his notifications.

“I don’t know why everyone cares so much about that page, it's stupid.” 

They were in Yahaba’s room, Shirabu was laying there reading a book he picked from the boy’s shelf, they spent their afternoons that way, a lot of people believed they hated each other, but even with their fights and sarcastic comments they were friends.

“Fuck.” Yahaba said under his breath.  “Shirabu.”

“Don’t tell me, I don’t care.” 

“The secret is of Ushijima.”

Shirabu lifted his eyes to see the boy looking back at him, he quickly snatch the phone from Yahaba’s hands. 

“No fucking way.” 

 

 

“But Iwa-chan.” Oikawa whined. 

"Oikawa I need to finish my homework.” Iwaizumi said, trying his best to ignore the boy next to him. 

“But I’m bored.”

“Then go back home.” 

Oikawa didn’t say anything else, he didn’t want to go back home yet, but didn’t wanted to keep bothering Iwaizumi, so he just pulled his phone from his pocket, he started checking his instagram with the idea of killing time when he noticed the instagram page of secret had posted something new.

 

@I_know_your_secrets has made a post

I_know_your_secrets: Ushijima Wakatoshi is well known in our school, we have never seen him dating anybody, but apparently he had been dating in secret with a mysterious person. How long have they been dating and who are they? 

The description was accompanied by a picture in plack with the name of Ushijima written in white, the next post was a picture of Ushijima, he was close to a person whose face was not visible, that person was wearing a hoodie too big for their body, it had to be from Ushijima. The two of them were close in the picture. It looked like they were kissing. 

Oikawa would have laughed in other situations, but he couldn't come out of his shock, because he recognized himself in the picture, he was the person the page was saying was dating Ushijima. The memories of that day hit him in that moment, at least the person that took the photo didn’t recognize him. 

“Oikawa?” Iwaizumi asked. “Is everything alright?”

“You know what?, I’m going back home.” 

Before Iwaizumi could reply Oikawa was already running out of the house.

Chapter 3: The morning after the start

Summary:

@I_know_your_secrets: Good morning:) Don’t you love the smell of chaos in the morning?

Chapter Text

Hinata was in his room, was trying to understand his english homework, but he couldn’t, he was in his desk trying his best, but the subject was too difficult for him, he took his phone to sent a text to Yachi asking for her help but he noticed that he was receiving a call from Kenma.

“Hey Kenma!” He said when he picked the call, when he noticed that Kenma didn’t respond. “Is everything alright?”

“I don’t know.” His voice was soft.

Hinata checked the time in his clock, he didn’t notice that it was already past midnight.

“Kenma is late, what happened?” 

“I’m sorry, did I wake you up?”

“Nah I was doing my homework.” Hinata responded standing from his desk to move to his bed. “Is this… because what happened with Kuroo-san?” 

Hinata wasn’t sure if he was supposed to ask or not  but he noticed Kenma fell silent on the other end of the call.

“I’m just mad he didn’t tell me.” Kenma murmured after a couple of seconds.

Hinata didn’t believe that was the only reason, but didn’t contradict his friend. 

“You want to do something, we can play something if you want.” Hinata ended up saying, trying to make his friend feel better. 

“I don’t want to distract you too much from your homework.”

“Don’t worry, I’m going to fail that class anyway.”

“Thanks Shouyou.” Kenma murmured, Hinata could tell by the tone of his voice he was in fact better. 

“Anything for you.” 

They stayed until two a.m. playing online games. Hinata wasn’t very good but he made Kenma laugh, and that's enough for him. He usually falls asleep early so he was tired when Kenma had a lot of energy yet.

“Kenma I will pass out if I don’t go to sleep now.”

“Oh, okay, I will play for a little bit more, good nice Shouyou.” 

“Good night! Get some sleep too.”

 

Semi was laying in the floor feeling the rug of his room tickling his skin, Tendou was next to him, they had spent the afternoon together after Tendou asked if they could go to Semi’s house, they were now in silence, they have been since they saw the post of Ushijima. 

“Did you know?” Semi asked softly. He and Tendou have been friends for a long time, he knew what he was thinking just by looking at his face.

“No.” The response came as softly as the question. The red hair let out a sad laugh. “I was beginning to think I had an opportunity, silly me.”

Semi thought about trying to comfort his friend, telling him that he had a shot, but he didn’t want to give him hope when he didn’t know the truth.

“We always have bad luck in love, huh?” Semi asked, chuckling.

Tendou gasped dramatically.

“That's it!  we are soulmates, our destiny is being together.” Tendou said coming closer to Semi. 

The boy with the gray hair pushed him away with a smile in his face.

“Fuck you, I rather tell Shirabu that I like him and being rejected by him, than being in a relationship with you.”

 “So we are not about to kiss right now?” Tendou asked again this time laughing.

The two boys laugh together pretending they didn’t feel the sour feeling in their chest. 

“Are you staying the night?” Semi asked standing up from the floor.

“Well it’s already past midnight, so I guess.”

“Do you want to see a movie, then?” 

“Sure, Semi-Semi.”

@I_know_your_secrets: Good morning:) Don’t you love the smell of chaos in the morning.

 

It was 8 a.m. Akaashi was already in his usual seat, waiting for his first class in the morning to begin. There were not many people in the class yet, Akaashi was watching the window from his seat, watching the students enter the building, when he saw a boy with white hair walking in the entrance, Bokuto was walking alone that morning. Akaashi almost for impulse looked away.

The seat next to him that was empty a minute ago now was being used.

“Good morning Akaashi.” 

“Osamu, good morning.” Akaashi responded.

Kenma was the person who usually sat next to him in class, but they have every class together, so in the rest of classes he sitted with Osamu Miya. Akaashi enjoyed Osamu’s company, he was calm and funny.

“Can I ask you for the answers to the math homework?” He asked leaning in his desk to be closer

“And what do I get from that?” Akaashi asked with a bored expression.

“My sweet company.” 

“I don’t want that. What else?” 

Osamu looked at him without changing his expression. They were looking at each other with challenging looks.

“What about one onigiri at the end of the day?” Osamu offered, he knew he had won when he saw the corner of his lips lift.

“Deal.” Akaashi responded, taking his bag to look for his homework, giving it to Osamu. 

“Hey Akaashi, can I ask you something?” Osamu recieved a little hum in response. “I saw the Bokuto thing, are you okay?” 

“Why wouldn't I be?” Akaashi quickly responded, maybe it sounded defensive, but he didn’t care. 

“Aren’t you two together?” 

Akaashi didn’t bother to hide his surprise with the question, Osamu looking at him with his usual neutral expression. 

“No, we are not.” 

“Sorry, my mistake.” Osamu murmured. “So are you single?” 

Akaashi slowly nodded, he didn’t understand the sudden change of question, he didn’t understand the little smile that was appearing in Osamu’s face.

“Good.” 

 

Kunimi was walking to his classroom, he hated mornings, and it felt like everyone was a lot more noisy than other days, all because that secrets page that he was following, he enjoyed the gossip the normal amount, but the fact that everyone was talking about it was tiring. 

“Kunimi, my son.” A voice behind him said.

“Our son.” A second voice corrected. 

Kunimi sighed when he recognized the two voices, slowly he turned around to see Matsukawa and Hanamaki, they were looking at him with smiles on their faces. 

“What?”

“We have been wondering,” Hanamaki started talking, coming closer to the boy. “You know about the secrets page on instagram, right?”

“Everyone knows it, what about it?” Kunimi asked, already done with the conversation.

“Well, son, it’s following you, so that means they know a secret about you, we wanted to know what are you hiding from us?” Matsukawa explained.

“How am I supposed to know what they know about me?”

“Hey Kunimi!” Kindaichi interrupted the conversation when he saw his friend in the hall being interrogated by the two third years.

“Kindaichi.” Kunimi responded, glad his friend was there to save him from the awkward conversation.

“What are you guys talking about?” He asked.

“Just about the instagram profile of secrets.” Hanamaki explained looking at the boy that joined the conversation.

“It sounds like you guys are the ones behind it.” Kindaichi said in a teasing tone.

The three guys looked at eachother with the same smile in their face before looking at Kindaichi, the boy felt the shiver run down his spine.

“Wait really!? you guys run that page?!” Kindaichi asked, surprised.

“I wish,” Hanamaki was the first to laugh at the scare expression on Kindaichi’s face. “If it had been me, I would have put the fact that Oikawa still uses his alien underwear as the first secret.” 

“Sadly this wasn’t our idea.” Matsuka said, pretending to be sad.

“Sorry, not me.” Kunimi murmured. “The whole profile thing sounds tiring.”

“Well, we are running late Kunimi.” 

“I know, bye” 

The two younger boys started walking to their classroom, while the other two looked at them. 

“Hey.” Matsukawa started, talking more softly than before. “Are you thinking what I’m thinking?”

“Maybe.” Hanamaki responded. “I’m thinking about who the mysterious person is.” 

“So am I. Any idea.”

“I have someone in mind, but I’m not sure yet.” 

“Well at least this is interesting.”

Chapter 4: fighting or flirting

Summary:

@I_know_your_secrets: don’t you love when two guys fight?

Chapter Text

 

Kageyama was walking out of his class, he wanted to buy milk before the next class started, he hadn’t seen Hinata in all day, and he wasn’t responding to his text either.  That was weird, but probably he just fell asleep.

“Kageyama-kun.” A soft voice asked behind him.

He turned around to see Kiyoko standing a few steps from him, she had a book in her hands. Kageyama noticed that other students had stopped what they were doing to watch Kiyoko.

“Kiyoko-senpai.”

“Can I ask you a favor?” The girl asked. “Can you give this to Hinata-kun?”

Kageyama was conscious of the curious looks he received, he knew that a lot of people found kiyoko attractive, but he didn’t actually understand why everyone was looking at him that way, he was just talking to her. 

“I haven’t seen him, but yeah sure.” Kageyama responded by taking the book in her hands.  “I will give it to him.”

“Thank you.” And with nothing else to say the girl with dark hair walked down the hallway. 

He inspectioned the book in his hands, it didn’t look like anything special, Kageyama was about to continue his way to buy milk when a short girl with blonde hair came closer to him. 

“Oh my god, a goddess just spoke to you, and you didn’t even blink.” The girl said, watching in the direction Kiyoko went.

“What do you mean, Yachi?” Kageyama asked, looking at his friend.

“That girl is beautiful, and she came to talk to you?” Yachi explained with a red face. “You are basically blessed right now.”

“It’s just Kiyoko-senpai.” Kageyama murmured confusedly.

“You know her name?”

“Yeah? I don’t understand why you are acting this way, I mean, she's fine but that's it.” Kageyama said, looking at his friend.

Yachi was looking directly at Kageyama with a confused expression, it took her a couple of seconds understand the fact that the boy next to her didn’t find Kiyoko beautiful as she did. 

“Wait, are you…?” Yachi let the question in the air, she didn’t want to assume things, but she was actually curious. 

“Gay?” Kageyama asked in a neutral tone. 

The blonde nodded slowly.

“Yeah.” Tobio didn’t have issues with his sexuality, and he trusted Yachi, so he didn’t have problems answering her question. 

“Oh!” Yachi responded in surprise. “Me too!”

“I know, Yachi.”

“What?”

“You were literally drooling over Kiyoko-senpai.”

“Oh, you are right.” 

 

Ushijima was sitting in his class, it was recess but he didn’t feel like moving out of his chair, people were murmuring about him, don’t that he care but it was annoying. Neither Semi nor Tendou were in that class with him, Oikawa was, but he had been ignoring him all morning, and at the start of the recess he had left the classroom.

“Wakatoshi.”

There were only two people who called him by his first name, and he hadn’t seen Tendou all day, he turned his head to see the boy who was talking to him.

“Kiyoomi.” 

Sakusa was awkwardly standing next to him, he was using his usual surgical mask, Sakusa was a year younger, but they were friends and usually talked, but it was out of character from Sakusa to be in Ushijima’s classroom.

“People are talking about the post about you.” Sakusa said, directly to the point as always.

“I’m aware.” Ushijima responded with a little nod. “And I don’t care, people always talk.” 

“And it’s true what they said? Are you dating them?” 

Ushijima got up from his seat to indicate to Sakusa to follow him out of the classroom, people turned around to look at them, but the two boys walked to the middle of the hallway to talk. 

“I’m not dating him.” Ushijima confirmed after a couple of seconds.

“But in the picture-” Sakusa started, being interrupted by Ushijima.

“I didn’t even kiss him, it’s the angle of the picture.”

“Oh.” They looked at each other for a couple of seconds. 

“Kiyoomi, I haven’t dated anyone since we broke up.”

Sakusa looked around to make sure no one was listening to them. They dated in secret for months in the last year, Sakusa didn’t like people knowing about his personal life, so he was planning on keeping that past relationship secret. 

“Then why don't you say it’s a lie?”  

“Why, to be honest I don’t care, it’s not my problem if people believe that page.” Ushijima explained calmly. 

“And who is him?” Sakusa was genuinely curious, he didn’t like Ushijima anymore, but they were still friends and he wanted to know. 

“I prefer not to tell you, I know he doesn’t want me to spread out his name.”

“Well, rumours die, I hope they leave you alone soon.”

"Thank you, Kiyoomi."

 

“Look at them!” Atsumu whined.

They were standing in the stairs, he and Suna were looking for Aran, so they were going to the third floor, when Atsumu saw Sakusa standing in the hall talking to Ushijima, now they were standing in the stairs, Atsumu was watching them, suna next to him was tired, and all he wanted was go back to this classroom to sleep.  

“Do you think Omi-kun is the mystery person Ushijima is dating?” Atsumu asked looking back at his friend.

Suna took his phone out of his pocket, he stayed looking at his phone for a couple of seconds before showing it to his friend. 

“The person in the photo is shorter than Ushijima, and he and Sakusa are the same height.” Suna explained.

“Oh, so then he is not dating Ushijima, but what if he is ignoring me because is dating someone else?” The boy with the bleach hair asked, watching how Ushijima went back to his classroom and Sakusa kept walking in the opposite direction of Atsumu.

Suna, noticing the two boys move, started walking in direction of Aran’s classroom.

“Maybe he just hates you.” Suna said in a teasing tone.

Atsumu stood there, ignoring his friend started walking without him, his eyes fixed in the back of Sakusa’s head, he noticed that he was always looking him from afar.

“Maybe you are right.” He murmured, starting to walk behind Suna, getting further and further away from Sakusa.

 

“Oh c'mon guys! It's funny.” Suga said with a smile on his face looking at his classmates.

“Maybe for you, I had to comfort Bokuto and Kuroo for a whole afternoon.” Daichi said, sounding defeated and tired.

“I don’t know Suga, this sounds a little dangerous.” Asahi murmured. “Like what if this escalates?”

“You two are party poppers, that it’s the funny part.” Suga insisted. 

He was sitting in the table instead of his chair, Asahi was sitting in his seat and Daichi was standing as he talked to his friends. They were always together in the recesses, especially the days they didn’t have classes together. 

“I personally hate this to be honest.” Daichi said, looking at Suga who was checking his phone. 

“Of course you do, mr. class president.” Suga responded, rolling his eyes with a smile in his face.

“Hello Asahi-san!” Nishinoya entered the classroom, followed by Tanaka, “hi guys.”

“Woah, the preference for Asahi.” Suga jokes 

“You know we love you Suga-san.” Tanaka said joining the group.

“Have you seen the video?” Noya asked.

“What video?”

“The one from the secrets page.” Tanaka explained, showing the third years the video in his phone.

“Holy shit.” Suga murmured with a little smile when the video started. 

 

@I_know_your_secrets has made a post

@I_know_your_secrets: don’t you love when two guys fight?, but this doesn't even look like fighting, it’s almost like if these two were actually flirting. There it’s something there, and they are not telling us?

The video started playing, it didn’t have sound, and it looked like it was taken from a distance, in the video there were two shadows, they were talking really close to each other, the video zoomed in, showing the two guys.

Kageyama had his back pressed against the wall, the other person was Atsumu, who had his arm, resting right next to Kageyama's head, cornering him against the wall, Atsumu’s mouth was moving, but the video keep being silent, whatever the thing Atsumu said was it provoked a reaction in Kageyama. The black haired boy grabbed the collar of Atsumu’s shirt, pulling him closer. 

The video ended there.

Chapter Text

“Are you going to tell me what’s up with you or I’m supposed to guess?” Iwaizumi asked his friend.

He had been looking for him the whole recess, at the end Oikawa was hiding in the fifth floor, he was sitting in the floor with his earbuds on, he noticed the presence of Iwaizumi next to him immediately, but the two of them have been in silence for minutes before Iwaizumi talked. 

“Oikawa.” Iwaizumi said in a firm voice that hid his insecurities. “Are you avoiding me?” 

“Maybe.” His voice had the usual playful tone that characterizes Oikawa.

“Shittykawa. I’m serious.” 

Oikawa slowly put his earbuds out of his ears, he didn’t move his head to watch Iwaizumi, he knew the other boy was watching him fixedly.

“Are you worried about me Iwa-chan?”  

“Yes.” 

That wasn’t the answer neither of them were expecting, Oikawa was teasing Iwaizumi and didn't expect to say yes, and Iwaizumi didn’t realize what he said until the words had already left his mouth. 

“I’m fine, it’s nothing.” Oikawa responded, this time a little more serious.

“Should I believe you?” 

“When have I lied to you?” Oikawa asked with a little smile on his face, getting up from the floor. 

Iwaizumi stayed on the floor for a couple of seconds, because he could in fact name a couple of times Oikawa had lied to him. But he didn’t know exactly why Oikawa was behaving that way.

 

Hinata was laying in the grass, he had overslept and didn’t make it to the first classes of the morning, he was enjoying the sun in his skin, next to him was Yamaguchi.

“Did you see the video?” The freckled boy asked.

“Yes.” Hinata responded, sitting correctly to see the face of Yamaguchi. “what about it?”

Yamaguchi seemed surprised by the casual way Hinata was talking about the video. 

“It’s a video of Atsumu-san and Kageyama, like they were almost kissing.” Yamaguchi explained. “You don’t care?”

“I mean, it was kinda hot, but I don't know what else.” The ginger shrugged.

Yamaguchi started laughing, when he saw the video he worried about what Hinata may said, but Hinata was cool with the video and didn’t care. 

“Just you could say that video was hot.” Yamaguchi says when he stopped laughing.

“And they looked like they were fighting, Kageyama is really hot headed and Atsumu likes to provoke, it’s not weird seeing them fight.” Hinata explained with calmness. 

“Why were they fighting then?”

“What am I? his mom? I don’t know.”

“Do you think it's because of what happened at the party?” Yamaguchi asked, looking at the sky to avoid the hurt look in Hinata’s eyes.

“I don’t think so…” The voice of Hinata was soft, almost gone. 

“Hinata.” Yamaguchi tried to say but was interrupted by the ginger.

“Stop, I don’t want to talk about that.”

“Okay.” 

They stayed in silence after that, Yamaguchi kept looking at the sky, he just like Hinata was trying to forget the things that happened at that party, but it seemed like everything when to shit after that night, he knew the video of Kuroo and Bokuto were for the party, now Atsumu and Kageyama seemed to be fighting for what happened that night, Yamaguchi wondered how many more secrets will come out of that night.

“What it’s his problem?” Hinata asked, making Yamaguchi come out of his thoughts.

He followed Hinata’s eyes to see what he meant. Tsukishima was watching them from a distance, but he noticed they were looking back at him, he looked away.

“Oh, I think we are still fighting.” Yamaguchi murmured. 

“Really? but I have seen you two together.” Hinata asked.

“Yeah, but only when there it’s more people around, or we still walk home together, but we don't talk.” Yamgauchi wasn’t even sure of his words. “It’s complicated.”

“Well, if you want to talk about it I’m here.” 

“I say the same.” 

 

Kuroo was anxious for lunch time, he wanted to sit with Kenma as he usually did, but he was scared, the day had been so long for him, people had been murmuring at his back, he was tired. It felt like hundreds of eyes were looking at all his movements, hoping he would make something wrong. 

Kenma was at the usual table completely by himself, he didn’t seem to care, his eyes were fixed on the screen of his phone, slowly Kuroo walked over him, trying not to make noise. He sat down in front of Kenma. 

Even if he tried his best to not distract Kenma from his game , the shorter boy was watching him in the moment he sat down, like Kenma was super aware of Kuroo’s presence. His yellowish eyes penetrated his skull.

“Hey.” Kuroo murmured. 

“Hey.” Kenma looked back at his game after responding.

The silence felt weird, even if they usually ate in silence when Bokuto wasn’t around, it was an awkward silence.

“Where is Akaashi?” Kuroo asked with the need to break the silence.

“Uh, I think he is having lunch with one of the Miya twins.” 

Kuroo looked around trying to find Akaashi, noticing that Kenma was right, he was having lunch with Osamu Miya and Suna Rintarou, they were far away from the usual place Akaashi had lunch, Bokuto wasn’t anywhere to be found. 

“Oh.” 

“So,” Kenma started talking without lifting his gaze. “How was your test?”

Kuroo looked at Kenma in disbelief, he was mentally preparing himself to being ask about Bokuto, but Kenma didn’t ask him about it.

“I’m sorry what?”

Kenma looked up, locking eyes with Kuroo.

“You had a chemistry test today, didn’t you?” 

Kuroo had the feeling that Kenma didn’t want to talk about the video either, but he didn’t know why. 

”Yeah, you know I have always been good in chemistry, it was easy.” Kuroo was so happy he was in fact good in chemistry because with all what happened with the video he didn’t study that day.

Kenma humed in response, going back to his game, with the brightness of the screen hitting his face, Kuroo could notice the dark circles in his eyes that were much more noticeable than other days

“Did you sleep well last night?” 

“Yeah.” The answer was too quick to be true, and Kuroo knew it

“Liar.”  He had known Kenma for many years, he could tell when Kenma didn’t sleep. “How many hours?”

“Like, half an hour?”

“Kenma.” 

“Kuro.” The shorter boy responded in the same tone Kuroo had used. 

“I’m serious, were you playing last night, why didn’t you sleep?” 

“I was playing with Shoyou.” Kenma explained, slowly looking up to see the reaction in Kuroo’s face.

“Please sleep tonight.” Kuroo murmured, going back to eating his food.

Kenma gave him a little nod before stating eating the rest of his food with one hand and playing with the other, they spent the rest of lunch time in silence, it wasn’t uncomfortable anymore, but somehow it felt distant. 

 

He opened the notification in his phone, noting how the secrets profile had grown in the span of only two days, he was kinda proud of it to be honest, he didn’t expect to be this big, but it looked like the whole school was conscious of the page.

“Hey.” A voice behind him said.

“Hey.” He responded by putting down his phone.

“I want to help you.” The other boy said

“Sorry, in what exactly?” 

“I know you are the one who runs the secrets account.” 

He looked around, it was just the two of them in that moment, he was walking to his classroom when he was stopped by this boy. They hadn’t talked that much before, he had seen him around the school, but they weren’t friends.

“I haven’t told anybody, I don’t think other people have realized it.” The guy continued. 

“Why?” 

“Just because, and I have a couple of videos that could interest you.” 

He thought about it for a couple of seconds, even if he would like to do this alone, he couldn't possibly know everything, so it was helpful to have someone else.

“Fine. Let’s work together from now on.”

“I’m in love with him.”

Chapter Text

“Can we talk?” Bokuto asked, gathering all the courage he found.

The day was finally over, he was heading to the exit when he saw Akaashi, alone in the hallway, so he slowly approached him. Bokuto hadn't seen him all day, he didn't even see him at lunch, and since Akaashi was a year younger they didn't see each other in class.

Akaashi looked at him a little shocked by the request. 

“I’m busy right now.” Akaashi murmured, even if he didn’t have anything in his hands, and was standing alone. “Maybe tomorrow.”

“Are we walking home together?” Bokuto asked.

“Sorry, I’m walking home with Osamu today.” Akaashi said, giving Bokuto a little bow. “Goodbye Bokuto-san.”

“Oh, bye Akaashi.” 

Bokuto stayed in the hall without moving, watching how Akaashi walked slowly out of the hall to meet with the boy with grey hair. 

Bokuto pulled out his phone to text the first group chat he saw.

Shirabu was next to Yahaba, they were waiting for the train to arrive at the station, they take the same train everyday, so it’s usually the two of them in the station, they were standing almost at the end of the platform, and there were three minutes until the next train passed. Shirabu had been noticing a blonde boy looking in their direction. 

“Yahaba, did Kyotani come back from suspension?” Shirabu asked, taking his friend by surprise. 

Yahaba choked on air at the sudden question, he looked at his friend like he wanted to kill him. 

“Why do you ask?” Yahaba asked in response.

“Just answer me.”

“Yeah, I think his suspension ended yesterday.”  Yahaba responded with pink cheeks. “Why?”

Shirabu looked at Yahaba for a couple of seconds before giving him a smirk, Shirabu looked away and slowly raised his hand to point in the direction of the blonde boy.

“He is watching you right now.” 

“Fuck what?!” Yahaba looked in Kyotani’s direction who looked away almost immediately. 

“Go say hi to your future boyfriend.” Shirabu said in a teasing tone, making Yahaba’s cheeks redder. 

“Fuck you, I rather drown.” 

“Hey Kyotani!” Shirabu screamed, taking the attention of the other boy.

“What are you doing piece of shit?” Yahaba asked with a panicked voice.

“Just go.” And saying that he pushed Yahaba away into Kyotani’s direction. 

Shirabu watched his friend talk with Kyotani, he thought they were blind because he could see they liked each other, but they both insisted they didn’t have a crush on each other. Shirabu also noticed that he was now alone in the staintin, and he hated taking the train alone.

“Oh you are here.” A voice at his back said, making him jump. “Sorry did I scare you?”

Shirabu froze in his place for a second, he recognized the beautiful voice in an instant. 

“Semi-san?” Shirabu quickly regained his composure to speak in a neutral tone. “I thought you didn’t take the train.”

“Well I wanted to take the long route today, and also the train kinda inspired me.” 

“Ah, I didn’t know.”

Shirabu thought Semi looked beautiful with the lights of the station shining in his face, but didn’t say anything.

“What about you? Do you take the train alone everyday?” Semi asked, getting closer to Shirabu.

“I’m with Yahaba, but he is over there flirting.” He disinterestedly pointed in the direction Yahaba was.

“It looks like they are fighting.” 

“Believe that's their way of flirting. It's disgusting.”

Semi chuckled softly.

“Did you see tha post about Ushijima-san?” Shirabu asked in an attempt to change the topic.

“Oh yeah, I saw it.” 

“Did you know about it?” 

Semi looked away, the train was finally arriving, Shirabu noticed how Yahaba was looking at him with a curious look, Yahaba and Kyotani got on the train together, while Shirabu and Semi got into the train away from the other two boys.

“I actually didn’t know it, I’m more close with Tendou than Ushijima.” 

“Oh.” Shirabu stayed in silence, he didn’t know what else to say, he was ready for a half and hour ride with Yahaba, he didn’t expect Semi to be there.

The trains wasn’t so full, so they were actually sitting, Shirabu wanted to scream because that was the closest he had been with Semi in months, and also it was the first conversation the had without insulting each other.

“Do you want to listen to music with me?” Semi asked breaking the silence, offering the left earbud.

“Sure.”

 

“Fuck I hate life.” Oikawa groaned eating the rest of his ice cream. 

“Me too.” Bokuto responded by eating chips.

“Can you shut up? I’m watching a movie here” Kuroo asked, throwing popcorn at the other two.

“Can you all stop stealing food from Ushijima?” Daichi asked, tired. 

“No, because I hate Ushijima.” Oikawa said looking at Daichi.

“Then get out of my lap.” Ushijima responded. 

They were sitting in the sofa of Ushijima’s living room, Ushijima, Daichi and Kuro were using the sofa, so Oikawa had throw himself over Ushijima because he refused to sit on the floor, Bokuto and Terushima were laying in the floor watching the bad movie Kuroo had picked. 

“Do you all think Daishou is like, super hot?” Terushima asked, looking at his phone.

“Disgusting.” Kuroo responded. 

“I’m pretty sure he is straight.” Bokuto continued. 

“And he is dating Mika-chan.” Oikawa murmured looking at his friend with dyed hair. 

“Jeez I just said he is hot, like I have eyes.” Terushima defended himself. 

They stayed in silence watching the rest of the movie and eating all the food they could find when the sound of a notification distracted, their phones sounded at the same time.

“It’s a text?” Oikawa asked, he didn’t reach out for his phone like the rest, his phone was on the other end of the room. 

“No, It’s from the secrets profile.” Daichi said. 

“It’s about you.” Ushijima said, showing his phone to Oikawa. 

 

 @I_know_your_secrets has made a post

@I_know_your_secrets: A drunk man never tells a lie

 

Oikawa watched in fear how a video started playing, he recognized himself, it was at the party, he notice it by the noise and lights in the background, he didn’t remember that moment, Oikawa was laying in the grass, he was looking at the person who was recording with tears in his eyes. 

“I’m in love with him.” The Oikawa in the video murmured. 

Oikawa felt a shiver go down his spine, he had been open about his bisexuality all his life, but he had never talked about crushes in the past, he didn’t know who he was talking to, the video didn’t show who recorded it. He was glad he didn’t say a name in the video. 

But now, how was he supposed to lie to Iwaizumi and say that he doesn’t like anybody when in this video he is talking about something he loves. 

“Fuck.”

Chapter 7: The bet

Summary:

“We should make a bet!” Noya said excitedly of his own idea.

“How much?” Yamamoto asked, now interested in the conversation.

“Twenty?” Noya suggested.

“Okay. I bet twenty dollars Suga is running the account.” This time Tanaka was the one to talk.

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

 

Kenma turned on the tv so they could start playing, he went home with Lev and Hinata, he would never hang out voluntarily witn Lev, but he was with Hinata and Kenma enjoyed Hinata’s company, even if that means he needed to bear with Lev for the night.

“What are we playing?” Hinata asked sitting on the bed, leaving room for Kenma to sit there.

“A new game Kuroo bought for me.” Kenma explained pressing the buttons on the controller to start playing.

“Oh that’s so cool!”

“Where is Kuroo-san?, I thought he walked you home.” Lev asked.

If it wasn’t for Hinata’s presence he would have killed Lev right there, but the truth is that Lev was right, Kuroo and Kenma have been neighbours since childhood, and Kuroo always walked with him, except when they wanted to go to someplace before going home.

“He went to Ushijima’s house.” 

“He went with Bokuto-san?” Lev asked again, completely ignoring the angry face Kenma was making.

“Yes.”

“Why don’t we just play?” Hinata asked, breaking the tension in the room.

Kenma gave the second controller to Hinata, and they started playing as Lev just watched.

“So is he dating Bokuto-san?” Lev asked, being completely unable to control his mouth. 

“I don’t know.” Kenma responded sounded more annoyed than sad. “He is a grown man, he can fuck whoever he wants.”

Lev looked pleased with Kenma’s answer, so he turned his head to look at Hinata who was struggling to catch Kenma in the game.

“What about you Hinata?” 

“About what?” Hinata asked without taking his eyes from the screen.

“About Kageyama and Atsumu-san!” Lev responde like it was obvious. “Like why were they flirting that way? or fighting, do you know?”

“I don’t know, and to be honest I don't care, I bet it was something stupid they were fighting over.” Hinata explained.

Kenma paused the game to look at Hinata.

“What?”

“I thought you liked him?” Kenma asked, confused.

But Hinata ended more confused than the two boys that were looking at him.

“No? I don’t like anyone.” Hinata said.

“But at the party…” Kenma started talking but felt silent. “Let’s just keep playing.”

They resumed the game, resulting in a landslide victory for Kenma. 

“Talking about the party,” Hinata said, giving the controller to Lev. “I didn’t see you at the party.”

“Oh, I left early.”  Lev said, taking the controller in his hands.

“Lev I’m kicking your ass in this game.” 

“Kenma please have mercy!”

 

Kita was tired, he just escaped from his friends who were probably crying and eating food watching bad movies just to end up in the Miya’s house watching Atsumu doing the same thing. 

“What happened to him?” Kita asked with his eyes fixed in the blonde boy laying in the coach with a bag of chips next to him.

“The secrets page posted a video of him.” Aran explained, he looked just as tired as Kita felt.

“And Sakusa is ignoring him.” Suna continued without lifting his eyes from his phone.

“What video?” Kita asked, coming closer to Aran.

The boy was sitting in a chair, looking without expresion at Atsumu, Suna was on the sofa next to Atsumu. Aran showed the video to Kita, who hasn't been paying attention to his instagram.

“Ah.” Kita murmured, turning his head to face Atsumu. “Why were you fighting with Kageyama-kun?”

“Fighting? This looks like flirting to me.” Aran said, making Suna laugh.

“I thought you only flirted with Sakusa and your little Shouyou, I didn’t know Kageyama was also your type.” Suna said with a Teasing tone, receiving the bag of chips in his face.

“I wasn’t flirting, we were having a little argument.” Atsumu explained after throwing his chios to Suna.

“About?” Kita interrogated.

“I don’t want to know.” Aran said standing up. “I’m out of here.”

“Please stay.” Kita murmured to him taking his hand in his.

Aran looked at him tenderly, but sighed, he wanted to be in his bed doing anything else than babysitting Atsumu Miya.

“Why do I have to stay to watch Atsumu cry over bad movies and his sad love life when Osamu is not even here?”

Kita in that moment realised what his boyfriend was telling him, he looked around the room to notice that in fact Osamu was not there, even if it was his own house. 

“Where is Osamu?” Kita asked this time looking at Suna.

“I don’t know.”

“He is with Kenji-kun, from his math class.” Atsumu responded.

Kita noticed the way the way Suna clutched his cell phone in her hands, as well as the annoyed expression on his face. He would ask Suna about it later, now he had to worry about Atsumu. 

 

It was late, the night was dark and the only thing that was lighting them were the street lamps, they were skating in the park all afternoon and had stayed there just talking. 

“Where are the girls?” Noya asked, laying in the grass. 

“Mika had a date today and Kanoka had volleyball practice.” Ennoshita responded sitting right next to him. 

“Well they didn’t miss too much today.” Yamamoto said. 

They usually went around town just skating, they killed time that way, Mika and Kanoka usually went with them to skate but not every day, so at the end it was usually just the four of them laying in the grass with their skateboards on the floor.

“Who do you guys think is running the instagram account?” Tanaka asked out of nowhere.

“We should make a bet!” Noya said excitedly of his own idea. 

“How much?” Yamamoto asked, now interested in the conversation. 

“Twenty?” Noya suggested.

“Okay. I bet twenty dollars Suga is running the account.”  This time Tanaka was the one to talk.

“Suga?” Ennoshita asked. 

“Yeah, he is always laughing and making jokes about this page, that it’s definitely sus.”

“I bet it’s Kiyoko-san.” Yamamoto said.

“What?” 

“Kiyoko is a queen, she could never.” Tanaka defended her.

Ennoshita looked at his friend before looking away, he knew about Tanaka’s crush, everyone knew about it, but he couldn’t stop the ache in his heart. Noya was next to him, but he wasn’t paying attention, because he was busy fighting with Yamamoto about if Kiyoko was or not a possible suspect. 

“What about you Noya, who do you think it is?” Tanaka asked.

“I don’t know, it is someone like Shirabu or Yahaba.” Noya said a little unsure, he didn’t actually have someone in mind. 

“I think there is more than one person.” Ennoshita said, he knew it was impossible for one person to collect all that information, it had to be at least two of them. “Sorry, I’m not betting on.”

“What?, but Chika.” Tanaka said softly, looking at him. 

Ennoshita looked at his phone to avoid eye contact.

“I have an idea of who could be, but I’m not sure.” 

“Then bet.” Nishinoya insisted.

“Nah, I hope i’m wrong actually.”

Notes:

Arankita is the only ship that has their shit together because they are superior, also I based the part of the bet in the comments I have been receiving, I'm so grateful for all of you that take your time to read this and comment. Thank you so much!!

Chapter 8: The new couple

Summary:

@I_know_your_secrets: Don’t you love love? Even in the middle of autumn the love between these two seems to bloom, why don’t we give attention to this sweet couple? :)

Chapter Text

 

The way home was silent now that Kageyama had to walk alone, most of the days Hinata used to walk home with him, but he hadn’t seen him in all day, and now that he probably saw the video of him fighting with Atsumu, Hinata probably didn’t want to talk to him.

He expected his house to be empty as it always was, but in the moment he walked in he heard his sister laughing in the living room. Kageyama was tired, he had to ignore people who were asking him questions regarding the video in addition to Tsukkishima's taunting. 

“Tobio, is that you?” Miwa asked from the living room.

“Yeah.” Kageyama said, taking off his shoes.

“Come here a second.” 

“I’m tired, I’m going to bed.” 

“I wasn’t asking you, come here.” Miwa insisted. 

Kageyama let out a groan before walking to the living room instead to the stairs and his room, in the living room was Miwa as he expected her to be, but then he noticed another person in the room, she was tall had light blonde hair, also her eyes were a bright green, she didn’t look japanese. 

“Tobio, I want you to meet my girlfriend.” Miwa said.

“Tobio-kun, it’s a pleasure to finally meet you, I’m Alisa Haiba.” The tall girl said.

“Oh,” Kageyama looked at his sister, he didn’t know she was attracted to girls, nor that she had a girlfriend. “the pleasure is mine, but I’m really tired. I'm going to my room, it was nice to know you Alisa-san.”

Kageyama didn’t do much in his room, he was too tired to do his homework, and didn’t had anything else to do, so he stayed in silence watching the ceiling of his room, a part of him was angry at himself for falling in the provocations of Atsumu and having the fight, the other part of himself regretted not hitting him harder. 

It had to be past midnight when he heard his phone ringing, it wasn’t a number he had in his contacts, but he picked the call anyway.

“Hello?” Kageyama asked, without raising his voice to not bother Miwa in the other room.

“I thought you wanted to talk to somebody, Tobio-chan.” The voice on the other end said, making Kageyama jump out of his bed.

“Oikawa-san?!” He completely forgot he was trying to be quiet when he almost screamed the name of the other boy.

“It’s been a while.” Oikawa said, he sounded as tired as Kageyama.

“How did you get my number?”

“That doesn’t matter now.” He said with a little chuckle. “I understand how you feel.”

“How?”

“Well, they posted a video of me, not my best moment I will admit.” 

“Oh, thanks, I think.” Kageyama murmured, confused. “But why are you doing this?”

“And I kinda owe you that, I wasn’t the best with you back there.” Oikawa said a little ashamed of his past behavior.  “Now, I will listen if you want to talk.”

“I don’t know where to start.” 

“Were you two fighting because of Chibi-chan, weren’t you?”

“Yeah.”

 

The next morning was calm, at least it was for Daishou, he walked alone down the street to arrive at the school, he spent most of his time alone, not because he didn’t have friends, but because he rather spent the hours enjoying his alone time.  

“Hey Daishou!” A familiar voice said next to him.

“Good morning.” Daishou said, looking at him.

His dyed blonde hair looked more bright with the morning sun hitting on him, Terushima was his friend, he was a year younger and quite popular so they actually didn’t see each other in school that much.

“How was yesterday?” Daishou asked slowing down to match with the other boy.

“The usual, Oikawa and Bokuto ate everything, Kuroo made us watch a boring movie, Daichi was so tired of us, and Ushijima was just there.” Terushima explained.

“So I didn’t miss anything important.” 

“Nah, what about you, how was your date?”

“Bad.” Daishou responded looking away.

“Define bad, did she break up with you?” Terushima asked.

“Yes.” 

Daishou didn’t intend his words to sound as bitter as they were, but he was still angry at himself. Terushima stopped walking to look at him in the eyes. 

“Oh. Because of…?” The rest of the question was left in the air, but Daishou understood anyway.

“No, don’t worry.” He quickly responded, watching the guilty expression on Terushima’s face. “Really, it wasn’t because of that.”

“Oh okay, so did you tell Kuroo? He is gonna make fun of you.” 

“I know.” Daishou said, pinching the bridge of his nose. “But I’m not gonna tell him, me and Mika are gonna be back together like in a week.”

“That sounds kinda toxic.” Terushima murmured.

“What do you know about relationships?” 

Terushima lifted his arms showing that he surrendered, they kept walking to school together in silence.

 

“For the last time, I’m not fucking Bokuto!” Kuroo said irritated. 

“Yeah, sure.” Kai said smiling.

“Yeah Kuroo we are friends, we won’t judge you.” Yaku teased in response.

They were standing next to their sites, they were waiting for the class to start, but in the meantime they were making fun of Kuroo, like they always did.

“I hate that this is the first time you admit that we are friends, and it’s just to make fun of me.” Kuroo said. “And you are judging me.”

“Well, you have a horrible taste in partners, like Bokuto, really?” Yaku continued.

“First, don’t disrespect my bro, and second, I’m not dating him, we just make out once.”

“The same way you were not dating Daishou last year?” Kai asked with his usual smile.

“Fuck Kai, I told you that shit in private.” 

“Daishou?!” Yaku asked, exploding in laughter. “You have to be kidding me.”

“It was just for a week, I swear.”

“Why do you have that taste in men?” Yaku questioned. “Like, Daishou and Bokuto, who else?, the boy with glasses from first year?”

“Yaku, why do you act like you two didn’t date in first year?” Kai asked changing the focus of the conversion from Kuroo to Yaku.

“I don’t remember shit, that didn’t happen.” Yaku said firmly.

Before Kuroo could say something in his defense the class started, so they separated and went to their seats. Yaku was drawing in his copybook, he didn’t want to pay attention, the class was boring and the teacher liked him, so he wouldn't get in trouble for not paying attention. 

“Hey, Yaku.” A voice at his right spoke loud as a whisper.

“Iwaizumi?” Yaku responded the same way.

“Maybe you should check your phone.” 

Yaku did as Iwaizumi said, he took his phone from his pocket to see a new notification, he had been tagged in a post of the secrets page.

@I_know_your_secrets has made a post

@I_know_your_secrets: Don’t you love love? Even in the middle of autumn the love between these two seems to bloom, why don’t we give attention to this sweet couple? :)

Yaku watched almost in horror how a series of pictures appeared in the profile, it was late at night in the pictures, Yaku recognized the park, he recognized himself in the pictures. Cuddling in the grass, looking at the start together, Yaku almost forgot how to breathe in the moment he noticed the picture showed clearly the face of the other person and that the page had also tag Lev Haiba in the picture.

Summary:

"So If I were you I would be more careful with my questions.”

Chapter Text

 

Tsukishima was sitting alone in the cafeteria, that was unusual, he always sat with Yamaguchi and Yachi, but he didn’t see them so he sat alone in their usual spot. He didn’t see Kageyama either, the only other person he knew and tolerated their company that was in the cafeteria was Hinata, and he was sitting with Suga, Daichi and Asahi, and Tsukishima didn’t want to hear them now. 

He had his headphones on and was listening to music while eating his lunch.

“Hey Tsukki!” He only heard the nickname over the music, he jumped in his seat expecting to see Yamaguchi infront of him, but it wasn’t him.

“Don’t call me that.” Tsukishima responded.

“Don’t be like that, we just want to eat with you.” 

Tsukishima looked up again to see Kuroo standing with two trays of lunch in hand waiting for permission of the blonde boy to sit there, Kenma was behind him with his head low watching something in his phone.

“Why?” 

“Because you are here alone, and we need a place to sit.” Kuroo said with his usual smile.

“Fine, just don’t talk to me.” Tsukishima said going back to his lunch without taking off his headphones. 

Kuroo and Kenma were sitting right in front of him, he could still hear him over the music, they were talking about the last post of the secrets page, nothing that Tsukishima cared about, so he ignored them. 

A third person appeared at the table, Tsukishima didn’t know him, but he had seen him around Kuroo from time to time, he took off his headphones, because this guy came to the table running desperate to talk to Kuroo.

“You have to help us, Kai is trying to restrain Yaku, but he needs help.” The boy said, trying to catch his breath.

“Why, what happened?” Kuroo asked.

“Yaku wants to kill Lev.” The boy said.

“Good for him.” Kenma murmured. 

“Kenma!” 

“What? We knew this day would come, Lev was in thin ice with Yaku, and honestly I don’t care, for me Lev can choke.”  Kenma responded without lifting his eyes from his phone.

“Isn’t he your friend?” Tsukishima asked, unable to contain himself.

“Oh he is.” Kenma responded.

“Okay, anyways, I will come back soon, I hope.” Kuroo said standing up and walking out of the cafeteria with the boy.

Tsukishima thought if he should ask, he had been curious about the relationship between the boy sitting in front of him and Kuroo.

“Kozume-san.” Tsukishima started.

“You can call me Kenma, I don’t care.” The boy interrupted.

“Kenma, can I ask something?”

“You already did, but go on.”

“Are you jealous of  Bokuto and Kuroo relationship?”

“No, I don’t care about it.” Kenma responded, he didn’t even blink, his eyes following his game. 

“But you like him, don’t you?” Tsukishima asked, unable to keep his mouth shut.

Kenma looked up, straight in Tsukishima´s eyes.

“Even if I like him I’m not jealous, unlike you, I wouldn't  be angry at my friend if he got into a relationship.” 

“What?” Tsukishima felt the air in his lungs.

“I saw you fight with Yamaguchi at the party, so If I were you I would be more careful with my questions.” And without saying anything else Kenma stand up and walk out of the cafeteria, leaving Tsukishima alone again. 

Tendou was sitting in his seat waiting for the class to start, next to him was Semi, he had been all that time writing in his copybook with a stupid smile in his face.

“What are you doing?” Tendou asked trying to take a look, but Semi covered what he was writing. 

“Something.” He responded.

“Is that the new song you are writing?” 

Tendou knew that Semi had been trying for weeks to write the lyrics for the new song he composed, but now he seemed inspired.

“Yeah, I will show it to you when I finish.” Semi said going back to writing. 

“I wonder who is about.” Tendou teased. “You left me to go home with Shirabubu yesterday.”

“Shut up.” 

They were teasing each other and play fighting as they always did. When some other person walked into the room, they felt silent when they saw Ushijima walk into the room. 

“Hello.” Ushijima said, taking his seat next to Tendou.

“Hi.”

“Hey man.” Semi responded, closing his copybook. “How was class?”

“It was boring.” Ushijima responded.

“Hey Wakatoshi-kun, do you want to go with us to the cinema today?” Tendou asked with a relaxed smile.

“Oh, I’m sorry,” Ushijima murmured, taking his phone to check a text. “I was supposed to meet in the cafe with somebody today.”

“It’s fine, we can go together another day.” Semi said.

“Is that person the same as in the photo?” Tendou asked, receiving a poke in the side by Semi.

“Hey don’t ask that stuff.””

“Yeah, it 's him.” Ushijima responded unbothered.

Semi and Tendou they both freeze, they didn’t expect to Ushijima to actually reply, neither they were expecting him to say it a man.  

“It’s a he?” Tendou asked, in the picture you couldn't tell if it was a boy or a girl, and Ushijima had never talked about previous romantic intereses.

“Yes, it’s that a problem?” 

Yes, it was for Tendou, it was easier for him to try to move on when he tried to convince himself that Ushijima was straight.

“Of course not, I’m bisexual.” Semi said trying to break the awkward tension that was in the room.  “Well, have fun today, we can go to the cinema on friday?”

“Yeah, friday is fine.” ushijima responded. 

Tendou stayed day in silence with his usual smile, pretending he didn’t felt like his heart was crashed in thousand of pieces.

 

Sakusa was in his classroom reading a book, and ignoring Komori as his life depended on that. 

“Come on Kiyoomi, why are you ignoring him?” His cousin asked. 

Sakusa turned the page even if he actually didn’t understand a single word, he was pretending to read at this point all to ignore Komori.

“Like I thought you liked Atsumu, why are you ignoring him all the sudden?” 

“Komori stop.” Sakusa said, looking around to make sure nobody was listening to them.

“I just want to know, like why are you playing hard to get? I’m pretty sure he likes you.” Komori insisted.

Sakusa looked around, the truth he didn’t like lying to Komori, even if they were family he considered him his friend, so Sakusa responded with the truth, but he murmured because he was also ashamed.

“I’m sorry I didn’t hear you.” 

“Fuck Komori, I kiss him.” Sakusa murmured again feeling gracefull of the mask covering his face, because his cheeks were bright red.

“You.” Komori said in shock. “You kissed Atsumu Miya.” 

“Yes, at the party.” 

“I thought you said you didn’t go.” Komori murmured confused. “Why are you ignoring him then.” 

“I lie to you, I went for like an hour.” He looked around, noticing that Atsumu was not in the classroom yet. “And I’m ignoring him because of that, what you don’t understand?”

“Did he not kiss you back, did he get mad at you, what it's the problem?”

“No, but he was drunk, I don’t think he remembered it, he would never kiss me if he was sober.” Sakusa said the last part a lot lower, like a whisper.

“Kiyoomi.”

“Stop, you can’t tell anybody about this.” 

“Of course.”

Sakusa checked that Atsumu was not around to talk freely about what happened, but he didn’t notice somebody else was also listening to him.

Chapter 10: More secrets more information

Summary:

“I just hope we are not doing the wrong thing here.”

Chapter Text

In the moment the day was over Ushijima walked in the opposite direction to his house, he didn’t even bother to write to his family to say he was going to be late, nobody was ever home anyway. He walked by the streets he knew very well, in the cafe was the boy waiting for him, Oikawa was sitting there using a lilac hoodie while drinking his ice coffee.

“You are using my hoodie.” Ushijima said as a greeting. 

“Fuck you is mine now.” Oikawa responded, sticking out his tongue. 

“At least put the hood on, in case somebody sees us.”  Ushijima took a seat in front of the boy, noticing that Oikawa looked at him confused. “I assume you don’t want to be recognized.”

Slowly Oikawa covered his hair with the hood, Oikawa didn’t think nobody would see them there, but he also thought that the last time and that ended up with a picture of them and the rumour that they were dating, so it was better be cautious.  

Ushijima noticed that there was a cup of black coffee on the table, Oikawa trying to look disinterested put the cup in front of him.

“Thank you.” 

“Yeah whatever.” Oikawa murmured, just a few seconds later he let out a tired groan.  “I have been exposed two time by this fucking page.”  

“I saw it.” Ushijima responded, taking the cup to his lips with his left hand. “But the page doesn’t know that. They think they have just exposed you once.”

“How can you be so sure they don’t know?”

“They would have put your name in the case they knew it was you.” The person who runned the page seemed to enjoy exposing people, there was no reason to not put Oikawa’s name, unless they didn’t know it was him. “Who were you talking to?”

“What?”

“In the video.” Ushijima responded looking at Oikawa. “You were talking to somebody and they recorded the video.” 

“I don’t remember who it was.” Oikawa said sighing.

“You were talking about Iwaizumi?”

Oikawa grunted in frustration.

“I guess, so there is someone out there who knows I’m in love with Iwaizumi.”

“I think we all knew, don’t worry.”

“Fuck you, Ushijiwaka.” 

Even if Oikawa swore he hated Ushijima, they bonded over the fact they came from rich families that didn’t love them, they had more in common than they knew in the first moment. They were friends, but Oikawa wouldn't say it 

“There has to be more than one person in this account, there it’s not possible this person was at every place of the party.” Oikawa continued talking.

“What do you mean?”

“I mean this person watched me cry, saw Kuroo and Bokuto making out, and probably many other things, how? It has to be more than one.”

“Who and why?” Ushijima said.

“That’s what I want to know too.”

 

“I swear Yaku almost killed me today.” Kuroo said 

They were walking home together, it was the first day they  walked together to Kuroo’s house since the first post from the secret account, Kenma was walking in silence next to Kuroo with his eyes in his phone. Akaashi was next to him making sure he didn’t fall while walking, Bokuto was a little ahead of them. 

“You deserved that, you should have let him kill Lev.” Kenma responded.

“I don’t think Lev-kun deserves that, I’m sure he didn’t upload that picture.” Akaashi said.

“And who do you know?” Kuroo asked looking at Akaashi.

“Lev is not quite the type of person who would run that account.” 

“Just say he is dumb.” Kenma interrupted the explanation Akaashi was giving.

Akaashi ended up sighing, he didn’t want to agree with Kenma out loud, but he didn’t contradict him either. 

“Where have you been Akaashi, we haven’t seen you in a while.” Kenma ontinued at the sudden silence.

“Yeah, it’s almost like you are ignoring us, you don’t even have lunch with us.” Kuroo also said, remembering that he hadn’t seen Akaashi in the last days.

“He has been with Tsum-Tsum’s brother.” Bokuto responded with a smile.

Even though he seemed like he didn’t care he had been worrying about it while Akaashi out of the sudden had been ignoring him.

“Yes, I have been helping Osamu with math this week.” Akaashi responded.

“Ah, he seems nice.” Kuroo said.

Kuroo and Kenma ended up having a small talk about the new videogame Kuroo had brought Kenma, while Akaashi walked a little behind them, Bokuto noticed that and slowed down his step to match with Akaashi so he didn’t walk alone.

“Hey Akaashi, are you mad at me for something?” Bokuto asked slowly.

Akaashi seemed surprised by the question and the actitud Bokuto was having, he didn’t look sad or happy. He had his eyes fixed in the sky, his messy hair more messier because of the wind of the afternoon.  Bokuto had always been breathtaking, Akaashi knew it but in that moment he forgot there was a world around them, because for a second Akaashi only saw Bokuto.

“No, I’m not.” Akaashi responded more sure than he had been in the past.

He wasn’t mad, he shouldn't have been, he didn’t have the right to be jealous.

“Good.” Bokuto smiled at him.

His smiles were always so bright and warm, he could never be mad at Bokuto even if he broke his heart Akaashi would accept the smile and everything that Bokuto would give him. Even if the only thing Bokuto would offer him is his friendship, Akaashi accepted it.

 

“Why are you doing this?” The boy asked.

They were sitting in the stairs of the last floor, they didn’t want people seeing them together, especially because they weren't in the same year and it would be weird because they didn’t have anything in common, the only thing that linked them together was the secret account. 

“What do you mean?” The other asked, he was the one that started the account.

“Why did you start?”

“Just because I was bored.” He responded simply. “Well I asked you to come here, because I wanted to show you something.”

The boy threw him an open copybook, there was a page full of names and things written next to them but not all of them had things written a lot of them had a blank space.

“What it’s this?”

“All the information and secrets I have. You can write more things if you know and have proof.” 

“Is all of this truth?” The boy was surprised while reading the things that were written.

“Most of these things are things I have seen, a few things I heard but I have proof of all of that so I will post them eventually.” 

“Woah, some of these are quite shocking.” The boy seemed to think for a moment before taking the pencil in the other hands to start writing. “I don’t know a lot of things, but I think these can work.”

The creator of the account read what the other boy was writing before nodding pleased with the information.

“We still need secrets of some people, we might need a third person.” 

“I just hope we are not doing the wrong thing here.”

Chapter 11: Second week

Summary:

“I need you to be honest with me here.”

“Daichi I’m starting to worry.” Suga said looking at his friend

“Are you the admin of the secrets page?”

Chapter Text

It’s been a week since the last time  the mysterious account posted something, since the last post of Yaku and Lev it’s been total silence, most people think the account its gone for good, but a lot of them are actually scared that the next time the account post something it’s going to be worst than the last times. 

Kageyama was sitting in his usual seat in the boring class of english, he didn't understood much but he could always just ask Yachi at the end of class, he was fine now, in the moment the post of him saw the light he had been worried about what would happen next, but nothing really changed. A couple of people had asked him about the video, he didn’t answer them, and after talking to Oikawa he had been more calmed, especially because Hinata hadn’t brought the topic in all week, everything was fine.

But the luck was never in Kageyama’s favor, in the moment the teacher announced the groups for a project Tobio knew he was fucked. They arranged their seats to sit together, and they looked as pleased as Kageyama to do this work together. He would have jumped out of the window if it was not because Yachi was in his group too. 

“I hate this.” Kageyama murmured under his breath.

“You are not the only one.”  The boy replied with a tired expression. 

“Kunimi” Kindaichi murmured in a warning tone. 

Yachi didn’t know Kindaichi and Kunimi very well, but they were usually really nice, a little cold but never this way, she didn’t know it with certainty but she thought maybe the change in attitude was because of Kageyama’s presence. Kindaichi looked a lot more nervous, while Kunimi and Kageyma looked angry with the situation of being in the same group.

“Well, I uhm,” Yachi started talking, trying to break the tense atmosphere. “I think it’s a long project, maybe we should go to do it in a house?”

She sounded more unsure every moment a word left her mouth, Kageyama wasn’t usually intimidating when you know him, but in that moment Yachi was terrified of the look of Kageyama’s eyes.

“Yeah, it sounds good for me.” Kindaichi said, also uncomfortable with the tension.  “What about in your house, Kunimi?”

“I don’t want the King in my house.” Kunimi murmured.

Yachi feared for her life for a second, Kageyama used to scream at Tsukishima whenever he called him that, even if for her it was just a nickname, she knew that to her friend ‘king’ was an insult.

But to her surprise Kageyama took the insult in silence. He opened his mouth to speak but he didn’t sound angry, it was a neutral tone.

“I can propose my house to do the project there, but if it's a problem for you two we can do it in another place.” 

“No, it's fine.” Kindaichi said. “So we will do it in your house.” 

Kunimi clicked his tongue in response, and Kageyama slowly nodded.  

In the moment the class ended Kunimi ran out of the classroom, Kindaichi gave Yachi a little bow before going behind his friend.

“Kageyama.” Yachi said slowly.

“Yeah?”

“Did something happen between the three of you?”  

“It’s nothing, don’t worry.”

Yachi was going to ask another thing when a bright orange head walked into the classroom.

“Yamayama-kun!” Hinata said with his big smile. “Let’s go play volleyball, hurry up!”

“I’m coming dumbass!” Kageyama screamed in response before following Hinata out of the classroom.

Yachi just stayed there wondering which god hated her so much to put her in that situation.

 

“Suga, can I ask you something?” 

Suga looked up from his homework to smile at his friend who just walked into the classroom. Daichi had chemistry in the first period so he had been in the other classroom, while Suga was with Asahi in history, they usually met in the hall in recess but Daichi had appeared in the door at the second the class ended.

“Yeah sure.”

“Outside?” Daichi asked again, a little more nervous.

He looked at Asahi, he was looking with curiosity at his two friends, Suga didn’t know what Daichi could want to tell him or why it had to be outside. 

“Oh,” Asahi murmured. “I will see you guys later.” 

“Okay, let’s go.” Suga said getting up from his seat.

They walked into the hall, Sugas was expecting that they would talk there, but Daichi kept walking, they arrived at the stairs at the end of the hall, there was no one else near.

“I need you to be honest with me here.”

“Daichi I’m starting to worry.” Suga said looking at his friend

“Are you the admin of the secrets page?”

 

 

“Asahi-san!”

“Noya?” Asahi asked looking up from his book to find the short boy looking at him.

Daichi and Suga had just left and he didn’t expect to see Nishinoya there, especially because he had classes on the first floor at this period and Asahi was on the third floor.

“I wanted to know if you would come with me to the park this afternoon.” 

“I thought you skated in the afternoons.” Asahi responded quietly.

“Oh but I wanted to be with you today.” Noya responded, thinking for a couple of seconds before opening his mouth again. “What if you came with me to skate and then we go to get ice cream.” 

“I don’t want to bother you with your friends.” 

Asahi enjoyed Nishinoya company, but he was too shy to hang up with Noya’s friends, especially if they were as hyperactives and loud as Noya. 

“Don’t worry about it! They would love you.” Nishinoya said with a bright smile.

Asahi thought about declining the offer but he couldn't say no to that smile.

“Okay.” 

“Awesome! It's a date.” And with that Noya went out of the classroom leaving Asahi confused there. 

 

Daichi started at Suga, he didn’t expect him to start laughing.

“Do you really think it’s me?” He asked incredulously at the question.

“It’s not you?” 

“No.” Suga responded more firmly this time. “Why did you think that?”

“Oh, I thought…” Daichi started looking away. “You were really weird about the page and you seem busy lately.”

“I kinda wish it was actually me, so I could have control of what it’s post.” Suga said, he was more calm now that Daichi had made his question, for a second he got weird ideas. “I don’t like not knowing what they know about me.”

“Exposing people’s secrets it’s bad, I want to know who they are so I can stop them.”

“Are you scared of them exposing you?”

“I don’t have anything to hide.”

“We all have.” Suga murmured looking away. “Maybe the person wants something”

“Something like what?” 

“I don’t know, maybe they want to take someone out of their way exposing them.” 

“Then why expose a lot of people?”

“I don’t know, this is weird. Let’s go back, Asahi may be waiting for us.”

Suga started walking in the direction of the classroom, but Daichi started there for a second, Suga told him it wasn’t him, but he felt like he knew something he wasn’t telling him. 

Chapter 12: Cheater

Summary:

Did he have another relationship in the time he and his girlfriend broke up, or is he just a cheater?

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

It was Friday morning, Yaku had just left the lab and was walking to his next class, the only bad thing was that the lab was on the other side of the school so he had to walk all the way to his classroom, which was tiring.  He had been ignoring Kuroo and Kai as his life depended on it, they didn’t hesitate to laugh about him and the post, but they stopped him from talking to Lev, so he hadn’t actually seen  the first year. 

Yaku was convinced it was Lev’s fault somehow,  he was angry at the situation, he didn’t like people talking about him, and because the pictures of him and Lev in the park at night was the last thing the page posted it was all people talked about. He was walking through the hall of the first floor, there weren't many people around him,  actually the hall was almost empty.

“Yaku-san!” A voice said behind him.

Yaku stayed there standing, he knew that he had to turn around and have a conversation with him, but he didn’t want to, even if he said he wanted to kill Lev actually he was scared of talking about what happened that night.

Sighing, he turned around. “What?”

In front of him was Lev, tall as always, looking visibly anxious, Yaku frowned, he was not gonna look vulnerable in front of Lev again.

“Can we talk? You have been avoiding me all week.” Lev asked in a low voice.

“If I’m avoiding you that means I don’t want to talk.” Yaku responded in a tone that revealed his increasing annoyance.

“But just a minute, please.” 

“No.” He wasn’t planning on raising his voice but the anger was taking control over him already.

“Yaku-san I didn’t have anything to do with the picture someone posted, please, hear me out.” Lev insisted, incapable of noticing the annoyed look in Yaku’s face.

“Lev, take the hint. I don’t want to talk about it.” 

“But-” 

“God, there’s nothing to talk about.” Yaku said, frustrated. “You were crying, I was drunk, nothing else happened. We don’t have anything else to say.” 

Lev looked at him, he was clearly hurt by the words of the shorter man. 

“So what you said back then…?” The question was left in the air, and the air was starting to feel suffocating. 

“I don’t know what you think I said, but nothing happened.” 

Yaku was lying, he knew very well what he said, he wasn’t that drunk that night, maybe a little tipsy, but he clearly remembered everything, and that was the same reason why he was so determinate on making Lev forget that night.

“Just, leave. I need to get to class.” Yaku said, turning around to walk in the opposite direction of Lev.

“I’m sorry.” He heard Lev say, but he didn’t turn around to see him.

Yaku hearded the steps of Lev running away, he kept walking in the direction of his classroom, feeling like the shittiest  person in the world.

 

Terushima walked to the table where Yamaguchi was waiting for him, they were in a Mcdonald's close to the school. Terushima had invited the younger boy, so he went to buy the food while Tadashi waited at the table.

“Here.” The blond said putting the plastic tray in front of Yamaguchi. 

“Thank you, I will pay the next time.” Yamaguchi said.

The order was almost all fries, because he knew that Yamaguchi loved the soggy fries of Mcdonald’s. 

“Don’t worry, anything for you, freckles.” He said, winking at the boy.

“Stop, don’t call me that Yuuji.” 

“Why not? It's an adorable nickname, for an adorable boy like you.” 

Terushima started eating his food pleased with himself when he saw the cheeks of Yamaguchi turn red.

“You have to stop flirting with me all the time, people may think you actually like me.” Yamaguchi said, looking at the other boy with a tiny smile.

“What if I do like you, freckles?” He began to raise his eyebrows with a confident smile. “What if I’m serius?”

“You are not.” Yamaguchi responded with the same confidence. 

“How can you be so sure?” 

“You like that guy in your class, the one that looks like the stereotypical bad boy.” Yamaguchi explained. 

The smile in Terushima’s face faded for a second when he realised who he was talking about, but he started to smile almost immediately after.

“You called Daishou a ‘bad boy’? He is a fucking dork.”  

“But you like him, don’t you?” 

“He has a girlfriend.” Terushima said, shrugging.

“That’s not what I asked.” Yamaguchi says, finishing his fries. “And I heard they broke up.” 

“Where did you hear that?” 

“Yachi is friends with Mika-chan.” 

Terushima noticed how Yamaguchi was stealing his fries, but didn’t say anything about it. 

“Really? The cute blonde girl?”  Terushima tried to remember the girl, he had seen her around Yamaguchi a couple of times. “Wow, I’m starting to see a pattern here. You like blonde people.”

Yamaguchi almost choked in his food.  “What?”

“Yeah, me, Yachi-chan, the stupid asshole with glasses.” 

That made Yamaguchi laugh, Terushima still saw  the sad look in his eyes.

“I don’t like any of them.”

“Freckles, I’m here buying you fries, you could at least lie and tell you like me.” He teased.

 

Kiyoko was sitting on the floor looking athe the people around her with a little smile, she had never been in a sleepover before, and she was graceful the rest of the girls considered her a friend, even if she actually knew half of the girls there, she knew Yukie, she was in almost all of her classes, Michimiya was also there, they knew each other because they have friends in common.

The other girls in the sleepover were; Mika, also from third year, really nice and pretty. She didn’t know Kanoka well but she from second year and was really friendly and nice. Kaori was the only first year there, she was Yukie´s girlfriend, and was extremely sweet and polite. 

“It’s a shame Yacchan couldn't come.” Mika said when they finished watching the movie.

“She had to do an english group project.” Kaori said, in her lap was Yukie eating all the pop corn. “She told me she was too tired to come.”

“That’s a shame, I love Yachi-chan, she is so cute and tiny.” Kanoka said, they all seem to know this mysterious girl. “She goes sometimes to skate with us, she uses roller skates. It's adorable.” 

Kiyoko was starting to feel curiosity about this mysterious girl, she sounded nice, and she apparently was part of this friend group so she started looking for her in her instagram while the girls talked about their skate experience. It didn’t take her long to find her, she had a lot of followers in common. 

She was a cute blonde girl, she had pictures of paintings and drawing, pictures of herself, outfits and pictures with friends even with Kageyama and Hinata. Kiyoko wondered how they had never met if they had so many common friends. The instagram page of the girl was visually pleasant, and she was so cute and looked nice, Kiyoko didn’t doubt about following her and liked a couple of pictures.

“So at the end I broke up with him.”  Mika said. 

Kiyoko didn’t actually listen to half of what they were saying, but Mika didn’t sound sad about it, she sounded a little annoyed, the rest of the girls looked at Mika with empathy, well except for Yuki who was more interested in finishing her food.

“Who was he?” Kiyoko asked, a little lost.

“Do you not know Daishou?” Michimiya asked, Kiyoko slowly shook his head. She had seen him around but didn’t personally know him.

“Maybe it’s better, Mika-chan.” Kanoka said with a smile. “You two were always breaking up and then coming back again.”

“Yeah…” 

Maybe it was because Kiyoko wasn’t close to them, but she got a weird vibe for the way they talked about their relationship, almost like Kanoka and Mika weren’t saying all they knew. 

They were interrupted by the sound of a notification in every phone, it was the secrets page. 

@I_know_your_secrets has made a post

@I_know_your_secrets: We all know Daishou Suguru, we all have seen him with his girlfriend, they always broke up, is this the reason? Did he have another relationship in the time he and his girlfriend broke up, or is he just a cheater? 

The post was accompanied by pictures, it was like six, the looked like they were taken differents days, they all had Daishou and another boy in them, Kiyoko knew the other boy, he had hit of her before, and they both were Daichi’s friend, she knew the other boy was in fact Terushima Yuuji.

Notes:

Hii! I love Mika and Daishou, they look like a lovely couple and I loved them, but I'm doing this for plot.
Thank you for reading and leaving kudos and commenting!!

Chapter 13: Close and away

Summary:

It wasn’t the first time they shared a bed and it would not be the last.

Chapter Text

 

Hinata was in his room, it was late at night and as always he was struggling to do his english homework, not as much as last time, because he was getting better in the subject but he still needed a little help, so he ended up calling Yachi that night. 

He knew the girl had been doing a project in the afternoon in Kageyama’s house, but it was so late so he hoped the girl wasn’t busy at the moment.

“Did you know that Kageyama has a beautiful sister?” Was the first thing he heard Yachi say after she picked the call.

“What?” Hinata was disoriented, he expected at least a hello. “I mean, yeah, Miwa-san.”

“Well I didn’t know that and I almost died when I saw her, she is gorgeous.” 

“Did you gay-panicked with her and forgot how to talk?” Hinata asked, he knew his friend pretty well, he had seen her panic over pretty girls in the past, it was actually funny. 

“I gay-panicked and forgot how to talk.” The girl repeatedly sounded defeated. “If one beautiful girl wasn’t enough, another one was with her, she was like a model.”

“Miwa-san’s friend?” 

“No, it was her girlfriend.” After that he heard Yachi scream. It lasted a couple of seconds, before Yachi calmed down and talked again. “Kageyama’s beautiful sister was gay, and I almost died.” 

Hinata laughed so hard, he could imagine Yachi almost passing out in the middle of Kageyama’s living room, he knew Miwa-san was beautiful, and he had suspected she was into girls, it was a vibe the girl had, he was glad he had been right about it. 

“How was the project going, too bad working with Kageyama?” Hinata asked, wondering if she did something in the project or just died of gay panic.

“It wasn’t that bad, I mean, Kunimi looked like he wanted to kill Kageyama, and Kindaichi looked so uncomfortable.” Yachi responded a lot more calmly.

“Oh, they were in the group?” 

“Yeah, the teacher chose the groups. “Yachi felt silent for a couple of seconds, like she wondered if she should ask or not. “Hinata, do you know what happened between them?” 

“Why do you ask?” Hinata tened a little, of course he knew, Kageyama had told him every detail of the story, he always remembered that day, it was the first time he saw Kageyama cry.

“I mean, I have never seen them talk together, but they seem to know each other very well, all of Kageyama’s family knew them, they also said they were glad to see them again, so something had to happen between them.” Yachi explained.

“Have you asked Kageyama about it?” 

“He said it was nothing.”

“Then I can’t answer, if he said it’s nothing, it's nothing.” Hinata murmured in response. “I know you worry about him Yachi-chan, but it’s something he doesn’t like to talk about, so give him space.” 

“You really like Kageyama.” Was the only thing Yachi said in response. 

“Well, he is my best friend, well he and Kenma.” 

“I mean, it sounds like you like like him.” She said the word two times to give it emphasis. 

“What do you mean?” Hinata asked sounded confused by Yachi’s words

“Oh nothing, it’s kinda late, we can do something together tomorrow.”

“Okay! Bye Yachi.” 

He ended the call and wondered how long he could play dumb about that topic, because if he keeped acting like that feeling didn’t exist, maybe it would go away. Hinata threw himself over the bed to let out a groan of annoyance.

“I forgot to ask her about the homework.” He murmured to himself.

 

“I brought the pizza.” Oikawa said, walking into the living room with the pizza boxes in his hands.

“I love pizza.” Hanamaki said standing up to take the boxes out of Oikawa’s hands.

“You can say you love me. I brought it.” 

“No, we just love the pizza.” Matsukawa responded with a slice of pizza in his mouth.

“You guys are so mean!” Oikawa said, sitting next to Iwaizumi on the sofa. “Iwa-chan, defend me.”

“Matsukawa.” Iwaizumi said, to the surprise of everyone. 

They were not expecting the boy to obey the wishes of Oikawa, especially because they were just teasing. But then Iwaizumi gave them a smirk.

“Give me a slice too.”  He said, making the two boys laugh.

“Iwa-chan!” he whined. “I hate all of you.”

“That’s not true, you love us.” Hanamaki said while taking the pizza and sat down in his spot on the couch.

“Talking about the people you love, you haven't told us about the guy you were talking about in the party.” Matsukawa said sitting on the sofa next to Makki, they were sitting looking at the tv, even if the movie they were watching was in pause since the moment Oikawa walked in. 

Oikawa froze for a couple of seconds, he didn’t want to talk about it, he had talked about it with Ushijima the other day, he trusted them, they were his closest friends, but he didn’t want to talk about his undeniable love for Iwaizumi with him there.

“I haven’t told you because I don’t remember who I was talking to, or who I was talking about.” Oikawa responded with a half truth, even if he didn’t remember he knew he was talking about his best friend.

“So you confessed to a random stranger at the party?” Makki asked, with a smile.

“Yeah, seems like it.” 

“And you don’t remember who you were talking about?” Mattsun asked in the same tone as Hanamaki, they didn’t believe in him.

“Nop, I don’t remember nothing of the party.” Oikawa confessed, hoping they would trust him in that. 

“What about you two, where were you?” Iwaizumi interrupted. “I didn't see you at the party.”

“Oh, we were fucking in the bathroom.” Hanamaki said with a smile. 

“Gross.” 

“I’m serious, I didn’t see either of you.” Iwaizumi insisted.

“Drinking, dancing, playing, we were in a lot of places that night.” Mattsun said this time. 

Iwaizumi in silence press play, the movie filled the silence it had appeared in the room. Oikawa wondered if it was his imagination or Iwaizumi was behaving weirdly.

 

“Look at this shit!” Kuroo was laughing his ass off, he didn’t remember the last time he had laughed that way.

“Yes, Kuro, I saw it.” Kenma responded without lifting his eyes from his phone.

They were in Kuroo’s room, just the two of them, because Akaashi was too tired for a sleepover and Bokuto didn’t want to be there third-wheeling alone. Kuroo had been watching the new post of the secret account for almost an hour, Daishou laughed and made jokes about him and Bokuto when he was in secret making out with Terushima, he was the hypocrisy incarnated. 

“I don’t know what’s so funny.” Kenma said, lowering his phone to look at his friend.

They were in Kuroo’s bed, they both laying in there like they have been doing for years.

“It’s Daishou, that’s funny.” Kuroo said it like it was obvious. “And I always believed Terushima had an unrequited crush on Daishou, a thing that's disgusting, who could anyone like Daishou? So anyways it's really funny all of this.”

“First, you also liked Daishou, and I don’t think it’s funny for his girlfriend.” Kenma said in the same neutral tone he always used.

“Yeah,” Kuroo murmured, feeling a little like an asshole now. “I didn’t think in Mika-chan, I hope she is okay.”

“I’m tired.” Kenma murmured, rubbing his eyes.

“That’s because you don’t sleep like you should do.” He sighed. “Let’s go to sleep, Kenma.”

“Fine.” 

They didn’t bother to use a futon, they had been having sleepovers since they were kids, they went under the covers of Kuroo’s bed, it wasn’t the first time they shared a bed and it would not be the last. Kenma was lying next to the wall giving his back to Kuroo, while he was looking at the ceiling, watching the stars that glowed in the dark.

“Kenma.” Kuroo murmured, he knew Kenma wasn’t sleep.

“What?”

“Why haven’t you been sleeping well, it’s something bothering you?” 

His voice sounded worried, but Kenma didn’t move at all, even when he heard Kuroo turning around to look at him.

“Nothing, I just can’t sleep sometimes.” Kenma responded in the same quiet voice.

“If you need me, you know I’m here, right?” 

“I know.” 

Neither of them mentioned they were dying internally there, because it may not be the first time they shared the bed, but this time it feeled like that, like they were so close, and at the same time so far away.

Chapter 14: Bad idea

Summary:

“Teru.”

“No, listen, you said you don’t want this to end, what it’s this exactly? what I’m to you? Daishou.” 

Chapter Text

The second years classroom was a mess like it always was, nothing was really listening to the teacher and he didn’t made the effort to be listen, Atsumu was sitting at the end of the classroom, next to him was his twins who seemed just as bored as him, they were supposed to finish a series of exercises, they were supposed to to it in groups, but the Miyas were just talking and ignoring their homeworks like they always did.

“I’m tired.” Suna murmured, he was in a position obviously unhealthy for his back.

“Why? you don’t do anything.” Atsumu responded with a smile.

Suna glared at him. “Fuck you, it’s not like you do anything either.” 

“You guys think Akaashi knows the answers?” Osamu asked out of nowhere.

The other two looked at each other before looking at the boy of the grey hair. 

“I don’t know, maybe?” Atsumu responded.

The three of them looked back to where Akaashi was, he seemed to have finished with his work, he was in fact reading a book that Atsumu couldn’t identify, Osamu smiled at his brother and friend before standing up and walk in the direction of Akaashi, Osamu seemed to ask for help, but Atsumu y Suna couldn’t hear what they were seeing.

“He seems into Kenji-kun.” Atsumu declared.

Atsumu was not dumb, even if people insisted he was, he noticed the way Suna frowned at that direction, he wasn’t blind either, he knew about the obvious crush of Suna in his brother, even if Suna denied it.

“But you seem into Samu.” He continued, Suna looked at him annoyed.

“Fuck off.”

“You are not gonna deny it?” 

Suna didn’t respond this time; he looked too annoyed to even answer. Atsumu sighed, he didn’t expect to get that answer, because he knew that silence meant that Atsumu was right. 

“Damn, we both suck at love.” Atsumu said chuckling a little. “Wanna make out?”

Suna looked at him in disbelief for a couple of seconds like he was trying to deduce if Atsumu were seriously suggesting that or not.

“No.”

“Come on, you used to say yes to that.” Atsumu laughed at the disgusted face Suna made.

“Don’t remind me of that. Disgusting, I had horrible taste back then.”

“You have the same taste, dipshit, me and Samu look the same.” 

“No, he is more handsome.” Suna said in his neutral tone. He waited a couple of seconds before looking at Atsumu, looking a bit worried. “You are not gonna tell him, are you?”

“Maybe I will.” He teased.

“Do it and I will tell Sakusa everything you have said about him.” Suna responded in a warning tone. “Everything.”

“Jeez, I will not tell him anything.” 

“Good.” Suna murmured a little more calm. “Is Sakusa still ignoring you?” 

“I don’t know, I stopped texting him.” 

Atsumu looked away, instinctively his eyes ended in Sakusa, his black curls falling in his face, he was sleeping in his desk, Atsumu had never seen that relaxed face while Sakusa was awake.

“Really? I thought you liked him, like enough to keep trying.” Suna said, confused. 

“No point in trying if he hates me.” 

Suna looked at his friend like he wanted to say something, but he stayed in silence, he turned his head to stop watching Osamu flirting with Akaashi and Atsumu looked at his phone to stop watching Sakusa at the other end of the classroom. 

 

“Asahi-san!” Noya screamed while running in the direction of the tall man.

“Noya, be careful.” Asahi responded when he noticed the boy.

Nishinoya always had a lot of energy like everything in his life was at the speed limit, which was totally different from Asahi, he always seemed like he was living slowly. They were totally polar opposites, but they liked each other and have been friends for years.

“I like you!” Noya said out of nowhere, without context, without further explanation just with a smile.

“W-what?” Asahi strumpled on his words. 

“Do you want to go to the movies today?” Noya asked like he didn’t say something out of the ordinary before. “Or we can go for ice-cream again.”

“What did you say before?”  

Asahi felt his face heat up, he couldn’t believe what he was hearing.

“Do you want to go to the movies?” 

“No, before that.”

Nishinoya seemed to think for a couple of seconds going back in his words.

“Oh.” He said, with a bigger smile. “I said I like you.”

“Oh.” Asahi responded feeling suddenly the ability to make words leave his body.

“So do you want to go to the movies or?” 

“Yeah, I would love that.” 

Asahi was so graceful Noya didn’t demand an answer, because he didn’t have one, but the boy seemed happy with taking that out of his chest. Asahi also liked Nishinoya, but he hadn’t figured out his feelings totally.

“Okay! See you this afternoon.” And with that said the shorter boy runned out of the classroom the same way he entered like nothing had happened. 

“What the fuck was that?” Suga asked with a smile.

"Did what I think happened just happen?" Daichi asked.

“Oh my god.” 

“I told you he liked you.” Suga kept his grin. “Daichi my money.”

“Did you two bet on this?” Asahi asked as he watched in horror as Daichi took out his wallet and gave money to Suga.

“Yeah and I lost twenty dollars because of this shit.” 

“Good luck with your date today.”

 

It was lunch break, and Terushima started walking up the stairs to the rooftop, he was tired, he felt like everyone had been talking behind his back, he knew Mika was popular, that everyone loved her, so obviously took her side when the post appeared. He liked Mika, she was nice, he didn’t have anything against her, the only thing was that he liked her boyfriend, well now ex-boyfriend.

He opened the door of the rooftop, cursing in his mind, because he came there to forget that everyone was talking about him and Daishou while ignoring the boy, but completely forgot that they meet there everyday. The boy looked at him surprised to see him, Terushima turned around to go anywhere but there.

“Teru, please wait.” The boy called him. “Just give me a minute.”

“One minute.” Terushima agreed, it was not like he could deny him anything even if he wanted too, it was impossible for him to say no to Daishou.

“Thank you, I know this seems bad but fuck I didn’t noticed somebody knew about us, Teru I didn’t want to put you in this spot.” Daishou talked with a worried expression on his face. “This was a bad idea, but it's not your fault.” 

“I know it’s not my fault, at least completely.” Terushima responded.

“You are right, but I can’t lose what we have here I-” 

“We? So now where are a ‘we’?” Terushima interrupted, incapable of keeping his mouth shut.

He had been silent in his opinion in their weird relationship for too long, now it was time for him to hear him. 

“I didn’t know we were a we now, because you were with Mika, I accepted being you side hoe, because I’m dumb, and really like you, but you never broke with her for me, you always had other reasons, and you keep insisting you are straight, which I know it’s a lie.” 

“Teru.”

“No, listen, you said you don’t want this to end, what it’s this exactly? what I’m to you? Daishou.” 

Daishou was looked at him with a mix of hurt and confusion, he didn’t what to imagine what his own face looked like, but he was tired about hiding his feeling to the comfort of Daishou.

“I don’t know.” Was the answer daishou could give at the moment.

“Then you can call me when you know it, but I cannot assure you that  I will pick you call at that moment. Goodbye.”

Daishou stayed in the rooftop, he didn’t know what he was supposed to do now, his mind was a mess and he wasn’t sure if he wanted to cry at the situation  or laugh because he knew it was his own decision that led him to that point.

Chapter 15: Change of plans

Summary:

-Hey, I wanted to send you this, I don’t know if you saw this at the party, or if you have this videos already, but I thought of sending them to you.

Chapter Text

The friend group was laying on grass as always, a group of skateboards and a pair of roller skates were lying close to them, they were laughing while looking up to the sky watching the clouds.

“I can’t believe Noya confessed to Asahi out of nowhere.” Kanoka said laughing.

“Oh I can believe that, Noya is braver than any soldier.” Yamamoto responded out of breath.

“He almost died out of embarrassment when he came back to the classroom.” Ennoshita said. “That was funny.” 

“Oh come on! Give Noya more credit, he confessed and got a date, and he is in the cinema right now, he is better than us.” This time Tanaka was the one to talk, pushing Ennoshita playfully. 

“Yeah while you guys laugh about Noya accidentally confessing he got a date with that person while we are in a skating park.” Mika said, looking at Kanoka and Yamamoto with a teasing smile. 

“Noya-san is really brave, I don’t think I would ever be able to confess.” Yachi murmured.

She wasn’t part of the usual group, but a lot of time she were in the same park as them in her roller skates, and they invited her to spent the time with them, so she would be alone, they were nice and they all liked Yachi like a little sister.

“You have a crush Yacchan?” Mika asked, shifting the topic.

“No! I don’t think so.” Yachi quickly responded. 

She didn’t have a crush, but the first thing in her mind was the pretty girl with glasses.

“I hate to change the topic again, but Mika, our queen.” Tanaka started talking, making the girl roll her eyes with a smile. “Do you want us to kill Daishou?”

“What?”

“Yeah we can make it look like an accident.” Yamamoto said with the same serious tone.

“We are not killing somebody.” Ennoshita said, the two boys looked at him. “But we can hurt him.” 

“Ennoshita you are the sane one” Mika said, sounding tired.

“Yeah, we can do that.” Kanoka said nodding solemnly. 

“Guys I don’t need you to kill him.” Mika sighed. “He broke up already, and we broke up a lot of time in the past, probably the pictures are from when we were not together. I appreciate the idea anyway.”

Yachi looked at them confused, they had just proposed  a murder and then continuate talking like nothing happened, they were a crazy and chaotic group of friends, but they nice people. 

“If he does anything, we will kill him.” Tanaka said as a warning. “We love you, Mika.”

“Yeah, I love you all too.” 

Yachi took her phone out of her pocket when she received a notification, it was from Hinata he sent her a picture of a stray cat, she stayed in her instagram a little bit when she noticed she had a notification, it was from days ago but she hadn’t seen it until now. It was that a profile was now following her. 

It was the beautiful girl with glasses.

“Ah, that’s Kiyoko?” Kanoka asked next to her.

“Oh! Yeah, she started following me.” Yachi said, confused.

“That's cool, we can have sleepovers together.” Mika jumped into the conversation with a nice smile.

Yachi looked at the profile of the girl, she was gorgeous, so before she could have any doubts, she followed her back.

“Are you talking about Kiyoko-san?” Yamamoto asked.

“I love her, we are blessed with her present.” Tanaka said putting his hands together like he was praying.

Ennoshita looked to the clouds again, he needed to get rid of his crush in Tanaka quickly, it was not healthy for him, he looked back at Yachi, she was looking sadly at her phone. He was good at reading people, and he suspected that Yachi was feeling the same way that he felt.

And Ennoshita was right, Yachi was looking at her phone thinking that Kiyoko had to be straight, and that she would never have a chance with her. Ennoshita smiled to himself thinking of a new plan.

“Yachi, you want to get ice-cream with me?” Ennoshita asked out loud, the group fell silent when they heard the question.

“Sure.” She responded standing up, and starting to walk next to the boy out of the park.

“What was that?” Mika asked with a smile.

“Oh my god, do you think Enno has a crush?” Yamamoto asked.

“He and Yacchan would so cute together.” Kanoka said and the other two agreed.

Tanaka watched his friend walk out of the park with a girl confused on what was the feeling that was burning in his chest.

 

Tendou was laying in his bed, reading his new manga and hearing the strumming of Semi’s guitar, he was sitting on the floor next to his friend trying to complete the melody for his song. Tendou looked up to see his friend crossing out words of his song in frustration.

“Semi Semi” Tendou said in a singing tone. “You know I love you, right?”

“If this is a confession I’m saying no.” Semi responded without looking up.

“You are my bro, my platonic lover,” Tendou said, ignoring what Semi said. “and I respect your choice of wanting to date the salt brat of Shirabu, but are you sure?” 

Semi stays still for a couple of seconds, like he is trying to make sense of the words Tendou just said to him.

“What do you mean?” 

“Look,” Tendou sighed, he wasn’t sure Semi wanted to hear what he wanted to say, but he was his friend and as a friend it was his job to say this. “You are writing him a song, a love song."

“It’s not a love song.” Semi interrupted. “It’s my feeling for him, not all my feelings for him are romantics.”

“You two fight for the whole last year, you didn’t stand each other, and now you two talk, go home together? I’m glad you two made pace, but I don’t trust him.” 

Tendou had left his manga in his bed and now he was sitting next to his friend on the floor. Semi looked conflicted with the topic, they were best friends, but they didn’t talk about feelings often, even when Tendou had his heart broken when he found out Ushijima was supposedly dating somebody they didn’t talk about it, they just enjoyed each other's company in silence. 

“Tendou.” Semi said, not very convinced “He is mean, and a brat, I know, but he is not a bad person.”

“We both heard what he said about you at the party.”

They both stayed in silence after that, Semi was not looking at him. They both remember that moment when they were on the stairs and they heard the conversation that Shirabu was having with someone. Tendou remembered the look on Semi's face that night, and how the boy left the party after hearing that.

“I don’t want him to hurt you.”

Semi just nodded slowly, closing his notebook and pushing aside the guitar

“Why don’t you tell me about your manga?” 

Tendou smiled at him softly, he understood it as a clear sign to end the conversation there. 

 

The boy was editing an audio, he was trying to insulate the voices so they would be the only thing you can hear, when he started the secrets profile he didn’t thought about all the work that it would bring, but he had pass the point of no return, so he would continue to the end, even if it started to be tiring. 

He also should be more careful with the thing he posted, he made a mistake by posting one of the secrets and made things worse for himself.

A notification ringed in his phone, he expected to be in his main account, but it was a message to the secret account. He recognized the profile of the person that messaged him, he was in some of his classes.

-Hey, I wanted to send you this, I don’t know if you saw this at the party, or if you have this videos already, but I thought of sending them to you.

The text was accompanied by three videos, one was one he heard about, but didn’t get to film it, the second was something that happened in the party that he had no idea. And the third one, was one of him. 

This one was definitely the best change of plans he could imagine.

Chapter 16: The fight and the threat

Summary:

@I_know_your_secrets: We all know all best friends have fights, but have you ever screamed at your best friend this way? Well I guess you can say they used to be friends, because you don't keep being friends with someone that screams at you this way.

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

 

Yahaba was late to class, he wasn’t a person who use to be late, but he got distracted this time, and was curious, all because while he was walking he heard two boys talking, he didn’t recognize the voices, they sounded familiar but he couldn't quite put a face to it, they were talking about posting something, it sounded like the secrets page. But he didn’t stay to see who they were because somebody was next to him looking at him fiercely. 

“What are you doing?” The person asked. 

Yahaba was ready to apologise in case he was disrupting something, or bothering in the hall, but then he recognised the voice, and turned around pretending he didn’t feel butterflies in his stomach.

“Not your business.” Yahaba quickly responded.

“I was just asking.” Kyotani hissed, even if he looked annoyed he wasn’t, if he was actually annoyed he would have push Yahaba and keep walking, but he stopped just to talk.

“Is there something else or you just wanted to talk to me?” The teasing tone was clear, but it almost sounded like flirting.

“Who would want to talk to your annoying ass.” 

“Clearly you, since you stopped just to talk to me.”

They looked at each other, the people around them who didn’t know them would think they were fighting, especially by the intimidating aura that Kyotani had, but the people that knew them could clearly see they were flirting back and forth.

“Are you doing something this afternoon?” Yahaba asked not looking at the boy in the eyes this time.

“Is that a date?” 

“Just an invitation, I will be waiting at the entrance, in case you want to come with me.” 

Yahaba walked back to his classroom without looking back not even once, he threw himself into his chair and covered his face with his hands to scream a little, Shiraba was in the seat next to him, he didn’t even blink when he saw his friend that way.

“Did I just invite him on a date?” Yahaba asked without dropping his hands from his face. 

“Yeah. You did congrats.” Shirabu responded in a bored tone. 

“He doesn’t even like me.” 

“Yahaba, we all know he likes you.” Shirabu was too tired to be having this conversation this early. “Since the day you two fight and you slammed him against a wall and he didn’t hit you or scream at you, he smiled at you.”

“He didn’t smiled.” Yahaba murmured with his cheeks red.

“I saw that shit.” He responded with a  shit eating grin. “I thought you two would fuck right there with the tension of the moment.”

“Oh my god, shut up.”

 

Kageyama was in class when the notification appeared in his cellphone, it was the secrets page again, he had put the notifications on since the time the page posted about him, since that time he hadn’t read something that was related to him or anyone of his close friends, but that notification changed that, because he saw his friends tagged in the video the secrets page just posted.

@I_know_your_secrets has made a post

@I_know_your_secrets: We all know all best friends have fights, but have you ever screamed at your best friend this way? Well I guess you can say they used to be friends, because you don't keep being friends with someone that screams at you this way.

He was not using earbuds at the moment so he couldn’t actually heard what was happened in the video, but he had the vague memory of seeing that in the party, Yamaguchi and Tsukishima fighting in the center, whatever they were fighting about it seemed really serious, because Kageyama had never seen Yamaguchi snap back that way.

He knew he had to wait for the break to hear the video, so he was going to put his phone back in his pocket when another notification appeared, this one was from Hinata. It was just a text that said; come to the second floor bathroom, now.

Kageyama didn't hesitate to raise his hand to ask for permission to go to the bathroom, he sprinted out of the classroom to go where Hinata had asked him to go, he didn’t question it he just went there. He didn’t know exactly what he was waiting for, but he definitely wasn’t waiting to find Yamaguchi in what seemed to be a panic attack with Hinata by his side.

“Yams I need you to breathe with me.” Hinata murmured in a low voice.

Tobio wasn’t good in this type of situation, he even wondered why Hinata called him instead of Yachi who actually knew how to calm someone. He stayed there next to the door not too close to Yamaguchi to give him space, after a couple of seconds Yamaguchi calmed down.

“Better?” Kageyama asked as softly as he could.

“Yeah.” Yamaguchi responded in a tired voice.

“I imagined he would be here, after the video.” Hinata said. “So I text you, sorry if you were busy.”

“Don’t worry, I wasn’t paying attention anyway.” Kageyama responded. “Yams, do you want to talk or do you prefer to be here and give you company?” 

“We can leave too if you prefer to be alone.” 

Yamaguchi seemed to consider both offers, he was tired but mostly he looked sad. 

“If it’s not too much of a problem, can you stay here with me a little?”

“Of course.” 

 

At lunch time Tsukishima was pissed, he heard the people talking behind his back, all the judging looks, and the worst part was that a part of him felt like he deserved that. He couldn’t believe someone got to film that fight, then he remembered a certain threat he received days ago. He walked in the direction of the boy who was eating alone in a far away table, he knew people were looking at him, he didn’t care.

“Why the fuck did you post that?” Tsukishima asked, raising his voice, his hands slammed the lunch table.

Kenma didn’t even look at him, he just raised his brows. He wasn’t pissed because he was being accused, he was annoyed that Tsukkishima was making a scene and he didn’t like getting attention.

“I haven't posted anything.” He responded. 

“Don’t play dumb with me, you said you saw the fight, then you threatened me and now this video was posted.” 

“Yeah I saw it, but I didn’t post it.” Kenma insisted.

He looked up this time to lock eyes with Tsukishima, Kenma slowly put play to the video, the audio sounded at top volume. Tsukishima felt shivers down his spine when he heard his own voice screaming at Yamaguchi, then Yamaguchi’s voice responded.

“I fucking tired of you!”

Then silence, he knew the video didn’t end there, but Kenma had paused the video.

“See? I’m on the sofa right behind you, I didn’t film this, and I didn’t post it.”

Tsukishima tried to concentrate in the background in the video, trying to not look at Yamaguchi’s expression. Kenma was in fact right, he was in the background watching the fight in first row, next to Akaashi, clearly he wasn’t filming it.

“Then why you…” The words died in his throat, he wanted to have someone to blame, if he couldn't blame Kenma he didn’t know what to do. 

“Why did I tell you that I knew about the fight and that you should be more careful? Honestly, I wanted you to shut up.”  

Kenma went back to his game avoiding looking at anyone else, Tsukishima stayed there for a couple of seconds before leaving the cafeteria without saying anything, he really hated himself sometimes.

Notes:

Hello! I just wanted to say that I will write everything that happened at the party, maybe in a few chapters more, anyway thank you for reading and leaving comments and kudos!!

Chapter 17: The suspicions increase

Summary:

“What if Osamu is the one behind the account, and he posted the video of Bokuto and Kuroo, to talk to you.”  Kenma said, stopping to turn  his head to look at Akaashi.

“I didn’t think you would be interested in the account thing.” Akaashi looked back at Kenma. “And I don’t think he would do something like that.”  

Chapter Text

 

Yachi was in her chair, she could hear her classmates talk behind her back, a group of girls have been sending her weird looks since the start of the break, all because she wasn’t alone that break. Ennoshita was sitting in the chair next to her talking about the movie they saw yesterday, they have been getting closer since that day in the park. 

“So what do you think, Yachi?” Ennoshita looked up to find the lost expression of the girl.

“Sorry!” She almost screamed. “I got distracted.” 

Ennoshita looked at her for a couple of seconds before softly laughing, he was actually really enjoying the company of Yachi, she was so sweet and kind, but also she was a little clumsy.

“Don’t worry.” He said, following the eyes of Yachi, the girl was looking at the girls who were whispering and laughing looking at her. “Is something in your mind?”

“Eh? Oh no, it's nothing.”

“It doesn’t look like nothing, something is bothering you.” 

Yachi looked at the boy in front of her again, he had a calm expression, he always had that relaxed type of expression, even if he freaked out just as much as her. Ennoshita had been with her everyday since that afternoon when he asked if she wanted an ice-cream, he came in the breaks to keep her company, even if he was a year older, they went to the movies together and sometime he invited her lunch. 

Yachi was about to respond when she heard someone getting closer, two girls from her class were right next to them, with a fake smile, like they were not just whispering and laughing about Yachi.

“Who is this, Yachi-chan?” 

“Yeah, is he your boyfriend?”  

The two girls asked before laughing, Yachi felt little in her chair, she wanted to leave the room, but she had class there, there was nowhere where she could run. The two girls looked at Ennoshita, who were looking at them with a neutral expression.

“What are you doing with her?”

“Don’t you want someone better?” 

Yachi was just about to stand up to talk when he heard Ennoshita laugh.

“Someone better than Yachi? I don’t think that girl exists.” He said looking at them with a smile but his eyes were cold as ice. “You two should leave, you are embarrassing yourselves.”

The girls looked at him for a couple of seconds, before leaving the classroom.

“Are they always this annoying to you?” He asked.

“Sometimes? They are just mean, it’s not a big deal.” 

“What were you saying before they interrupted us?”

Yachi didn’t remember what she wanted to say, because the only thing in her head was that the girls asked if he was her boyfriend, and Ennoshita didn’t deny it. 

“Ennoshita-san.” 

“You call me Chikara.” the boy interrupted with a smile. 

“And you can call me Hitoka! But I want to say something first.” Yachi murmured a little embarrassed. “You are really nice, but I have to tell you that I’m a lesbian.”

“Thank you for telling me, Hitoka.” Ennoshita responded with a calm smile, he didn't look surprised or bothered. “But I kinda guess that, you like Kiyoko-san don’t you?”

“Who did you know?!”

“Well, we are in the same boat then.”

“You like Kiyoko too?” Yachi asked, surprised.

“No.” He sighed. “Tanaka.”

“Oh.”

“Yeah.” He murmured. “We can suffer together, since we fell for straight people that would probably end up together."

"I would like that Chikara-san."

 

Akaashi and Kenma were walking alone together, it was the first time in weeks just the two of them, Akaashi always had something to do, and Bokuto went home alone taking another route, while Kenma walked home with Kuroo, but today Kuroo and Bokuto had something to do together, Kenma didn’t ask what that thing was, neither did Akaashi. 

“You are getting really close with Miya.” Kenma murmured, his phone was in his pocket, he was looking to the sky.

“I help him in class.” Akaashi responded.

“Hm?” They were walking slowly down the street, Kenma didn’t stop to look at Akaashi, but he knew the boy was looking at him. “Just in class?”

“Are you implying something?”

“Well, I mean, he did ask for help in class, that’s true, but he also invites you to lunch, and to his house. He is flirting with you.”

“No he is not.” Akaashi said a little more defensive than he wanted. “We are friends.”

“Oh so now you are friends.” 

“Kozume, what even you are trying to tell me, tell me now please.” 

“He is getting close to you since you have given up on Bokuto, don’t you think it’s suspicious?” 

“I can’t give up on Bokuto if I never tried anything to begin, and how is that suspicious?”

“What if Osamu is the one behind the account, and he posted the video of Bokuto and Kuroo, to talk to you.”  Kenma said, stopping to turn  his head to look at Akaashi.

“I didn’t think you would be interested in the account thing.” Akaashi looked back at Kenma. “And I don’t think he would do something like that.”  

“Really? because I was with you at the party, and I remember what he said to you.” 

“I don’t want to talk about the party, and to respond to your unasked question, I do not like Osamu.”

“I was just saying.” Kenma murmured, taking his phone from his pocket to start playing his game.

“Are you worried about me, or you just want to have someone to blame, since you like Kuroo and you want to know why they posted that video?” 

Akaashi asked, they started walking again, Kenma waited a few seconds to respond.

“Who knows, maybe it’s me behind the account and I want to make you be against Osamu.”

“That sounds like something you would do.” 

Akaashi saw the little smile on Kenma’s face while they were walking, he didn’t actually think Kenma or Osamu were behind the account, but maybe it was time he began to think about who could actually be behind it.

 

Once again they were in Ushijima’s house, his house was big and he was always there by himself, so hang outs were almost always there. Ushijima and Daichi were sitting in the sofa,  Oikawa was laying on top of them with his head in Ushijima’s thighs, and his feet in Daichi’s, Bokuto and Kuro were both lying on the floor, and Kita was sitting in a chair, like a normal person. 

“I kinda wanted to see Daishou today.” Kuroo murmured.

“You wanted to laugh at him.” Daichi responded.

“That’s true.”

“He didn’t respond to our text, I actually haven’t seen him in all week.” Oikawa talked while looking at his phone. “I think that really affected him.” 

“Yeah, I was kinda hoping he would tell us what happened, or Teru, but he didn’t come here either.” Bokuto said.

“Terushima-kun said he was with his friend.” said Kita.

“He is with Yamaguchi I think.” 

“Why would someone expose us like this?” Ushijima murmured, moving his hands through Oikawa’s hair.

“So, from our group; me, Kuroo, Ushibro, Oikawa, Teru and Daishou have been exposed.” Bokuto murmured

Oikawa looked at Ushijima, neither of them said it but they both thought of the fact that Oikawa had been exposed two times, but they didn’t need to know that.

“Yeah, why would you do this, like what do you get from this?” Kuroo said, agreeing with him.

“I suspected it was Suga.” Daichi murmured.

“Mr. Refreshing?!” Oikawa asked dramatically.

“Yeah, but then I talked to him, and I don’t think it’s him anymore.”

“I used to think it was Tsukki.” Kuroo was the one to talk this time. “He is salty enough to do this type of shit, but Kenma said he was freaking out when they posted the video of him in the party, so I don’t think it’s him.”  

“Maybe it’s Makki and Matsun, they are little shits like that.” Oikawa said, but didn’t elaborate anymore.

“Being suspicious of people without any proof it's useless.” Kita said, being the common sense the group lacked.  “Maybe if we tried to remember what we did at the party we can think of something.”

The group stayed in silence for a couple of seconds. 

“I don’t remember anything.”

“I have nothing.”

“I don’t remember shit.”

“To be honest.” Bokuto said. “I don’t even remember whose house was that.”

“It was Suna’s” Kita responded, sighing. “How much did you all drink?”

“A lot.” They all responded almost at the same time.

“This is going nowhere.”

“Kita you were sober, you didn’t see anything?” 

“I left early, and the things I saw, the page already exposed it, and the other things I saw they are probably be posted in the future, and I didn’t remember seeing someone filming.”

“So we got nothing.”

Oikawa made a mental list of the people he was suspicious of, there were not many people in there, actually it was just Makki and Matsun, and he had Hinata there because Oikawa firmly believed Hinata was secretly a little shit. He couldn't think of anyone who would do this. 

“Maybe we will never know.”

Chapter 18: Feelings are complicated

Summary:

Then a single thought passes his head, he had been wondering what was the feeling he felt, but now he knew; it's love.

Chapter Text

The day beautiful, the sky was starting to change colors, Semi had gathered all the courage he could that day, because that day he wanted to show Shirabu his song, the song he had been working for months, it was not finished yet, but he felt like it was a good moment to show it to him.

But in his plans was never telling him the song was about him, he planed ask Shirabu to came with him somewhere and then he would show him the song, even if the lyrics are not finished and the melody needs arrangements, if Shirabu asked about the inspiration he would confesses if he didn’t it didn’t matter. 

So Semi walked to Shirabu, he was standing in the main entrance with his cellphone in his hand, Sem had learned a lot about him in the last weeks, he knew Shirabu was probably waiting for Yahaba so they could take the train together. 

“Hey Shirabu!” He called him while walking in his direction.

Shirabu looked up, his expression kept being neutral, almost like he was bored and didn’t want to be there. 

“Oh it’s you.” Shirabu responded.

“Wow, mean, are you busy right now?” Semi asked.

Shirabu was looking desperately at his phone, probably waiting for Yahaba to call him, Semi wanted to comment how rude Shirabu was but he actually wanted to talk to him in that moment, because he didn’t know if he would be able to do this any other day.

“No, but I don’t want to do anything right now.” 

“I didn’t even ask yet.”

“But you were going to.” His voice was harsh for some reason. 

Semi didn’t remember doing anything in particularly to piss Shirabu off, he was actually behabing the same way he behaved last year, when they didn’t get along and fight all the time, he was being cold to him, not like the sweet boy that fell asleep in his shoulder in the train while listening to music together. 

“Did I do something?” Semi asked, maybe his main problem was that he was hot headed and everytime Shirabu provoked him, he responded. “I was trying to be nice.”

“And I tell you no, do you not understand a simple word?” 

“Why do you always have to be such a brat?”

“It’s part of my charm, just as is part of yours being so fucking annoying all the time.” Shirabu responded, he wasn’t even looking at him. 

“I can’t believe I was going to ask you out.” Semi murmured.

He didn’t realize the words have left his mouth until he noticed the way Shirabu was looking at him.

“And you think I would have said yes?” Shirabu’s words were cold as ice. 

Semi stayed there not really knowing what he should do, he watched how Shirabu took his phone to his ear without looking at him, he started to walk in the direction of the train station, Sem could hear him talking to Yahaba. 

“Tendou was right.” 

He took the page that was folded in his pocket, it was the lyric of the song, or at least what he had finished, without looking at the words in the paper for a second and he crumpled the paper to throw it away from him. He walked in the opposite direction of Shirabu.

 

Tendou was walking home with Ushijima, that was nothing weird, but lately Ushima had been walking home alone, or with his other group of friends, that didn’t bother Tendou, he usually walked with Semi, but he told him he wanted to talk to Shirabu, so it was the first time in weeks just the two of them.

“So how are things with your mystery guy?” Tendou asked with a smile.

He wanted to be supporting for his friend, even if he had the biggest crush in Ushijima he wasn’t planning on running that friendship because of his stupid feelings. 

“Who?” He asked, sounded genuinely confussed.

“You know, that guy you have been seeing in the cafe down the street, the mystery guy from the picture.” He hoped his words didn’t sound as bitter as he felt. 

“Oh, him.” Ushima said. “I guess as always, I worry a little about him.”

“Why is that?”

“He has been really anxious with the secrets page thing.” 

“He goes to our school?” Tendou asked.

“Yes.” Ushima was unbothered with the topic, like he was talking about the time and not crushing Tendou’s heart with his words.

“I didn’t know.”

They kept walking in silence, Ushijima enjoyed walking home with Tendou, he was really relaxed, he was one of his first friends who really liked him, Ushijima was bad at feelings, he knew it, because he couldn’t decipher what he was feeling.

Ushijima heard someone getting close to them, he turned around to find Semi, he was looking at his feet.

“Semi Semi?” Tendou asked when he noticed him.

Semi didn’t say anything, he just took the hand of Tendou on his own, squeezing the hand, Tendou looked surprised for a couple of seconds, then he realized what had probably happened, he didn’t need to ask to know that Shirabu had probably rejected him.

“Wakatoshi-kun, we have to go, see you tomorrow.” And without waiting to hear a response he started walking with Semi by his hand.

Ushijima stayed there for seconds watching in silence the redhead walk away from him. Then a single thought passes his head, he had been wondering what was the feeling he felt, but now he knew; it's love.

 

Sakusa was in his living room, he could hear his mother and Komori talking in the kitchen, he loved his cousin, he really did, but sometimes he wanted him far away from him, and today was one of those days. Komori was telling his mom about “Sakusa’s friends”, even if he didn't consider them friends, especially because Komori was talking about Miya.

He didn’t talk about his personal life with his mother, not because he didn’t trust her, but because he hated being vulnerable to people in general. He was about to kick Motoya out of the house when his phone rang, Ushijima’s name appeared on the screen.

“Hello?”  Sakusa asked, a little confused.

He and Ushijima were close, they have been even after they broke up, they keep being friends, but they didn’t call each other, neither of them liked to talk too much, but they prefer text over voice calls, so Sakusa was confused about receiving that call.

“I think I’m in love.” Was all Ushijima said.

“Congrats.” 

“What did you do when you realized you were in love with Atsumu?” Ushijima asked, straight to the point, as always.

“I’m not in love with him, Wakatoshi.” 

“Kiyoomi, I’m being serious here.” 

Sakusa sighed, there was no point in lying.

“I don’t know, I kinda scream at myself, like for an hour, then just ignore him.”

“What? You are ignoring him? You didn’t behave this way when you had a crush on me.”

“It’s different, I can’t just go and confess to Atsumu, he would reject me, I knew you liked me too, so I just told you, because that was the best option, here my best option is ignore my feelings.”

“Sometimes I don’t understand you Kiyoomi.” Ushijima said in a low tone, Sakusa chucked. 

“Sometimes I don’t understand me either, so who is this person you fall for?, the boy of the picture?”

“No, it’s Tendou.” Ushijima confesses.

“Then congrats, he likes you, doesn’t he?”

“The problem is he thinks I am dating the guy in the picture, and I just saw him holding hands with a mutual friend.” 

“You think they are dating?” Sakusa asked, noticing that Komori was watching him from the entrance of the living room.

“It’s possible, they are always together. Thanks Kiyoomi, I need to talk to somebody.” 

“No problems, bye.” 

Sakusa lowered his phone trying to not look at the face of his cousin, because he knew Komori had the biggest smile on his face.

“Who was that?” He asked.

“How much did you hear?” Sakusa asked.

“Since you told this person you liked them in the past and you confessed to them apparently, so who was that?” Komori insisted.

“It’s none of your business.”

“Come on, Kiyoomi, I had to beg for months for you to confess you had a crush on Atsumu, now I learn you confessed to someone in the past and you didn’t tell me.”  Komori didn’t look hurt, he was actually enjoying the situation. 

“If I tell you, would you let the Atsumu thing? I don’t want to talk about him anymore.”

“Fine.”

Sakusa waited a couple of seconds, he hadn’t told anybody, but he trusted Komori, he hadn’t said a word about what Sakusa told him about kissing Atsumu in the party yet. Kiyoomi sighed.

“Wakatoshi.” 

“I’m sorry? The Ushijima Wakatoshi?” Komori asked, surprised.

“Yes, we dated last year.”

“You what?! What else have you been hiding from me?”

Sakusa looked at his cousin wanting to say more, but all the words died in his throat.

“Nothing.”

Chapter 19: Seven videos

Summary:

“Good morning my dear classmates, if you are wondering who are I, or what I’m doing, I’m happy to announce that I’m the owner of the I know your secrets account, and I have a surprise for you all, seven videos, all from the party and a lot of drama."

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

“I’m sorry what?” The boy asked.

It was the first time since they started working together that the other boy talked to him outside school, the creator of the account used to just send a text saying that they should meet somewhere to discuss what they were going to post, even after this all this time, the creator was the only person with complete access to the account, he just helped.

It was weird for him talking to the creator, especially considering he was a year younger, but it was the first time he called him over the phone, he was walking to class all alone when he received the call.

“You heard me.” The voice over the phone said.

“You are gonna get caught.” He said, he knew nothing related him to the account in the case he did in fact get caught, but he was worried anyway. “Why would you want to do this, the way we have been doing this has been working.”

“Yeah, but it’s too slow, and we need to post all of the videos of the party.” The voice insisted.  “I will even post a video of myself.”

“When did you film that?, because I don’t remember even seeing you at the party.”

“Somebody else send videos to the account.” 

The boy stopped his feet, he didn’t think somebody would send videos to the account, that meant they were people out there that were enjoying watching the world burn. He looked around to make sure no one was listening to him.

“Who?”

“You don’t need to know now.” The voice said. “I will post seven videos today, that's why I need to make the announcement through the speakers.” 

“Seven?!” 

The account only had seven videos uploaded until that moment, and every single video made a lot of controversy for days. He couldn't begin to imagine what kind of disaster would make seven different videos posted at the same time. 

“Yeah, so I’m going to send you the videos so you can watch them before I post them, if you think something should be cut, or muted tell me.”

“Okay, need help in anything else?”

“After you see the videos can you write the caption? I need to make the things for the announcement.”

“Sure.”

Without saying goodbye the other boy ended the call, he stayed there for a couple of seconds, wondering why he thought helping was a good idea. 

 

“So how was your date?” Daichi asked with a smile.

He was already in his classroom, next to him was Asahi, and Kiyoko, they both wanted to hear about the date of Noya and Asahi, because they have been going out in more than one occasion, and even after Noya confessed his feelings, Asahi hadn’t say anything yet.

“Oh my god, not you too, yesterday Suga called me the moment I went home, he wanted details.” Asahi complained.

“Well, we want to know.” Kiyoko said with her calm voice, she sounded curious. 

“It was nice, i guess.”

“When are you going to confess?” Michimiya said jumping in the conversation.

“Hello Yui!” Daichi said with a smile the moment he noticed the girl standing next to him.

“Hi!” She said, looking at Daichi, to then turn her head to look at Asahi. “Noya already confessed and you haven’t given him a proper answer?”

“In Asahi’s defense, Noya didn’t properly confess, but I agree, you should tell him what you feel.” Kiyoko said. 

“I can’t, I don't know how.” Asahi's response was almost a whisper.

“Come on, you just have to say that you liked him too, that’s all.” Daichi was smiling while talking, even if he knew his friend was on the border of a nervous attack he felt happy for him, because he knew he liked Noya. “Where is Suga? he needs to smack some sense into you.”

“I haven’t seen him.” Kiyoko said turning around to look at the classroom, they had history together that period, but Suga was not there yet for some reason.

“Maybe he overslept.” Michimiya said. “Daichi, would you go with me to the movies with me?”

“Sure.”

Suga was standing outside the door, hearing the conversation of his friends, first he was there to hear Asahi’s response, but he froze when he heard Michimiya talking to Daichi.

“Why are you standing there?” A voice behind him asked.

“Fuck Yaku, you scared me.” Suga said.

“I’m not sorry, you are the one creepily standing behind the door. What are you doing?”

“Nothing.” He quickly responded, probably too quickly.

“Really?” The shorter boy asked, raising an eyebrow. “I bet you are hiding for something stupid, like Daichi is talking to a girl again.”

“How are things with Lev?” Suga knew that was a low blow, but he responded defensively because Yaku was in fact right.

“I don’t know what you are talking about.” He said with a serious expression. “Let’s get to class, you can sit with me if you don’t want to sit with Daichi right now.”

“Thanks, and sorry, I shouldn't have asked about him.”

“It’s fine, I don’t care.”

Suga followed Yaku to the classroom ignoring the questioning looks Daichi sent in his way, and sat next to the short boy. He also noticed Michimiya sat in the seat Suga usually used. 

 

First period finished, and Oikawa was nowhere to be found, he sent a text to their group chat saying that he overslept and he would arrive in the second period, Iwaizumi was waiting for him, he was looking at the door, waiting for the boy to appear.

“Iwaizumi can you relax?” Matsukawa asked next to him.

“Yeah, we know Oikawa is dumb but I don’t think he would die in his way here.” Hanamaki said with a smile, Iwaizumi would have laughed if he was not that worried.

“The last time Oikawa was late was because of his knee, before that time was when his parents told him about the divorce, the time before that was when he had fever, he is dumb enough to be hurt and not tell us.” Iwaizumi murmured. 

The two boys looked at eachother with the same expression, Iwaizumi looked at them annoyed.

“I hate when you two talk in silence.” Iwaizumi said. “Tell me what you were thinking.”

“You fell deeply for Oikawa.” Hanamaki was the first to talk. 

Iwaizumi looked at them like they were talking to him in some unknown language.

“What.”

“Yeah, I mean we have known, for like the three year we know you.” Matsukawa continued with a relaxed smile.

“But I’m not in love with-” He stopped himself because he noticed his words felt like a lie. “It doesn’t matter, he loves this mystery guy he talked to in the video.”

“Hajime, Hajime, you are pretty dumb sometimes.” 

“What do you mean?”

“What if the guy Oikawa was talking about was you?” Makki asked.

It was not like he hadn’t thought of that before, but the idea disappeared as quickly as it appeared.

“I don’t think so.” 

In that exact moment the door opened, Oikawa entered the classroom, he was not even using the full uniform, it looked like he had just got out of bed actually, but for Iwaizumi he looked beautiful, as always. Then his eyes ended in the lilac hoodie, a hoodie he had seen before.

The lilac hoodie was too big to be from Oikawa, then the memori struck him like a truck, it was the same hoodie the mysterious person was wearing in the pic of Ushijima and his secret boyfriend. If Iwaizumi looked closer he could see the “Ushijima” embroidery at the side. 

All the words Makki and Mattsun said before disappeared, because right in front of them was the innegable truth, Oikawa was probably talking about Ushijima in the video.

 

The class was silent while the teacher explained things on the board, she was talking in english, and Hinata wasn’t paying any attention. He knew he should be paying attention and taking notes but his grades had been getting better with Yachi’s help so he allowed himself to take a break.

A noise started sounding in the speakers, the class stopped, all looking expectantly to hear the principal voice, but another voice appeared, it was definitely not a human voice, it had to be something like a program to read out loud text.

“Good morning my dear classmates, if you are wondering who are I, or what I’m doing, I’m happy to announce, I’m the owner of the I know your secrets account,” 

While the voice was talking Hinata noticed many people gasping in surprise, others were checking their phones to see if the account had post anything, but it hadn’t posted nothing since the video of the fight between Yamaguchi and Tsukishima.

“and I have a surprise for you all, seven videos, all from the party and a lot of drama. I’m going to name the people that are the protagonists of this videos, so it doesn’t come out as a surprise when I post.”

Hinata was looking at the account on his phone, nothing weird yet,  they will post seven videos at the same time, Hinata even if he didn’t was part of it he realised this was going to create chaos, a lot of it.

“Sawamura Daichi, Sugawara Koushi, Michimiya Yui, Hanamaki Takahiro, Matsukawa Issei.”

Hinata recognized the names of his senpais, that made him a little bit anxious, knowing who the videos were about before seeing the videos was worse.

“Suna Rintarou, Komori Motoya, Sakusa Kiyoomi, Atsumu Miya, Shirabu Kenjirou, Yahaba Shigeru” 

Hearing Atsumu’s name was a surprise, considering that he had been exposed before, in that video fighting with Kageyama, Hinata remembered Atsumu in the party, but he only saw him like ten minutes that night, so he didn’t know what would be Atsumu’s video.

“Kozume Kenma and Hinata Shouyou. That 's all, have a good morning.”

Hinata froze in his seat, he didn’t remember doing anything worth filming in the party, but if he was honest, he didn’t remember much of the party actually. But also hearing Kenma's name worried him, this was gonna make him puke out of anxiousness. 

In the moment the speakers fell silent Hinata noticed everyone was staring at him, he was the only one of the first year that was mentioned. The sound of multiples notifications sounding at the same time was like something from a nightmare, the page had posted the seven videos, one of them with Hinata tagged there.

Hinata put play on the video, he watched himself with horror, he didn’t remember any of that, at the background of the video the fight of Tsukishima and Yamaguchi was heard, and Hinata was the one filming it. 



The second year's class was always a disaster, it was before the announcement, but now it was a war.

Yahaba was next to Shirabu watching in horror how someone filmed them talking, all the things they said drunk, thinks that they didn’t remember. Shirabu was the one to put pause to the video, he could stand hearing all those things that came out of his mouth.

“Semi must hate me.” Shirabu murmured almost for himself.

“I would hate you.” Yahaba responded honestly. “We really fuck up.”

At the other side of the room Kenma looked at the rest of the videos completely ignoring the one he was tagged, he didn’t want to see it, he had the feeling he knew what video was. He was not surprised to see the video of Hanamaki and Matsukawa in the bathroom, the video of Daichi and Suga was a little surprising but nothing as surprising as the video of Sakusa and Atsumu. 

“Motoya.” Sakusa murmured. “Kill me.”

“You knew this moment would come, you can’t ignore Atsumu forever.” Komori responded tired.

“Watch me.” He didn’t look anywhere except for his cousin, he knew his classmates were looking at him, he knew Atsumu was looking at him. “What about you and Suna?”

“The video is out of context, we were just talking.” Komori defended himself.

“You are literally on top of him. That’s a weird way to talk.” 

“Atsumu is coming this way.” Komori warned. 

“Kiyoomi.” The voice of Atsumu sounded like he couldn’t breathe. 

Sakusa couldn't hear his name in Atsumu’s voice, and his fight or flight response made him leave the classroom, the room was left silent when Sakusa stormed out, the eyes went to Atsumu almost immediately, he was just standing there shook, because a part of himself couldn't believe the reason why Sakusa hated him was because he kissed him.

A couple of seats was the boy who was trying his best to not start laughing about the scene he created. He wasn’t even bothered by his own video, this was only the start and Suna knew it.

Notes:

The next chapter would be the party, probably it's going to be separated in parts, because a lot of things happened at the party.
Also I'm so happy that so many people guess who was the owner, but the other person it's going to me a mystery for a while.

As always thanks for reading, leaving comments and kudos!! Thank you

Chapter 20: The start of the party

Summary:

“Let's get wasted!”

Notes:

Just a reminder that this chapter happened in the past more than a moth before the current events in the fic

Chapter Text

Suna’s house was big, actually nobody would think he lived there with his mother and little sister, the house had two floors and four bathrooms, it was big but the Miya twins always said the house was cozy and they enjoyed spending their afternoons there. But today they were not there to watch movies and do homework, it was friday and they have planned a party.

“Atsumu I swear to god, you can’t get drunk before eight.” Suna groaned annoyed. 

They were sitting on the couch of the living room, just the three of them, since the twins volunteered to help Suna before the party, it was almost five and Atsumu had already drank a bottle.

“Why not?” He asked with a stupid smile in his face.

“Maybe because we are here to help Suna, and the party doesn’t start until like four hours.” Osamu responded.

“But I hate waiting.” Atsumu said. “Do you guys know if Omi is coming to the party?”

“Komori told me Sakusa wasn’t coming.” Suna responded ignoring the sad expression on Atsumu’s face.

“You know him, do you think he would like to be here? A lot of people, a lot of noise, I don’t think that’s his vibe.” Osamu said. He didn’t talk too much with Sakusa, almost everything he knew about the boy was because Atsumu didn’t shut up about him. 

“Yeah, maybe you are right.”  Atsumu murmured while drinking the rest of his bottle.

“If you keep drinking you are going to do some stupid shit at the party.” Osamu said. “Stop.”

“Nah, I want to see that.” Suna said with a smirk forming in his lips. “I want to film that.” 

The two boys laugh, not knowing Suna would keep his word. 

 

“Kenma!” Kuroo said while standing right next to the bed of his best friend, the boy was under the covers playing some game Kuroo didn’t understand.

“Kuro, I already said that I don’t want to go.” Kenma murmured in a low voice.

“Why not?”

“I don’t like parties, and I don’t know why you would like to go to a small place with loud music, and drunk people.”  

Kenma was laying in his bed, giving his back to Kuroo, so he wasn’t actually watching the boy, but he could feel the expression he was making. They fell silent for a couple of seconds, the only noise in the room was the game of Kenma. 

The younger boy felt how Kuroo sat next to him in the bed, Kenma tried his best to not tense up.

“I can’t force you to come with me, but I would like you to be by my side.” Kuroo talked slowly and low, Kenma hated to admit he loved his voice. “I would stay by your side at every moment.”

Kenma was a weak man, he had fallen for his best friend, and a part of him though the feeling was mutual, but he could never tell, since Kuroo had dated many people in the past. He didn’t move to talk, the principal reason was because if he saw Kuroo he would say yes without thinking. 

“What if I want to be in a corner playing games?” 

“I would stay there with you.” Kuroo confirmed. 

“What if I want to leave early?”

“We will leave when you say it.” 

Kenma was really weak. 

“Fine.”

“Awesome, I come for you around seven.” Kuroo said, even if Kenma wasn’t looking at him he could tell the boy was smiling. “Thank you Kenma.”

 

“Tsukki wait for us!”

The boy with freckles said with a smile, the blond looked at him in silence, they were walking to Tsukishima's house. Tsukishima enjoyed Yamaguchi’s company, but it wasn’t just the two of them, he didn’t have problems with Yachi, she was actually his second favorite from the group, the problem was the two idiots making everything a competition. 

“You guys are too slow.” Tsukishima responded.

“Shut up!” Hinata screamed in response.

They were going there just to hang out, nothing especial, it was friday so they didn’t have homework to do, or at least they could do it in the weekend, Tsukishima always said he hated them, but it was not true, they were his friends, but Yamaguchi was special, he was above the rest. 

“Are you going to the party?” Hinata asked out of nowhere. 

“Who invented you?” Tsukishima asked in a teasing tone. 

“Atsumu-san did!” The ginger responded with a smile. “And he said everyone was invaded, but he said he wanted to see me there.”

“So are you going just because Miya-san asked you?” Yachi asked, a little confused.

“Yeah, and Kenma said he was going to be there too.” 

“I’m going too.” Kageyama said a little too quickly.

“Are you jealous, king?” 

Tsukishima was not an idiot, he could tell Kageyama had the most obvious crush on Hinata, even if the ginger didn’t notice. 

“Don’t be mean.” Yamaguchi reminds him. “And we should go, it would be fun.”

“Yeah!”

“Maybe I would go too, if I can convince my mom.” Yachi murmured in a low voice.

“And you Tsukki?” Yamaguchi asked with his bright smile.

“I guess, I mean what's the worst that could happen?”

Tsukishima didn’t know at the moment but the worse thing would happen to him there. 

 

“Iwa-chan!” Oikawa said. “Turn your camera on!”

They were in a video call, Hanamaki, Matsukawa, Iwaizumi and Oikawa, the call started because the first two said Oikawa had a horrible taste in clothes and Oikawa was showing them that he actually knew how to dress himself.

“I hate you shirt.” Matsukawa said looking with a bored expression.

“And those jeans look horrible with your shoes.” Hanamaki continued the same way.

“It’s just a stupid party, nobody would even pay attention on what I’m wearing.” Oikawa responded annoyed, they have been on this call for almost an hour. 

Oikawa was starting to believe they actually didn’t hate his clothes but were just making fun of him, considering he knew his friends that's probably exactly what they were doing. Actually most of the time in the call they have been laughing and making jokes, so it was actually nice, even if Iwaizumi had his camera turned off.

“How can you say that?” Makki said with a fake gasp

“What would people say when Oikawa Tooru said something like that.” Matsun continued the joke.

“I hate both of you.” Oikawa murmured. “What do you think, Iwa-chan?”

“I bet Iwaizumi left the call on mute and it’s not even seeing it.” 

“Probably.” 

Oikawa sighed, his friends were probably right, Iwaizumi hadn’t said anything in almost ten minutes, maybe he was not even listening. 

“It looks nice on you.” Iwaizumi’s voice surprised the three boys in the call.

“Thank you.” 

Oikawa had to remember himself he was actually in a video call and they could see him, so he smiled like he always did. His crush in Iwaizumi was killing him slowly, but he swore to himself that he would take that secret to his grave. 

Oikawa didn’t know that the alcohol loosened his tongue. 

 

Ushijima was waiting in the station, he usually didn’t take the train, he didn’t need to, he always walked to the school to his home, but the party was a little away. Tendou was next to him with a smile on his face.

“I can’t believe I convinced you to go to a party.” Tendou said.

“I guess there 's no damage in going.” Ushijima responded.

“Yeah, you don’t need to drink if you don’t want to, or if you get uncomfortable just tell me we will leave immediately.”

“I appreciate it, but I will be fine. There is no need to worry.” 

“Okay!”

“Sorry I’m late!” Semi said running to get next to the two boys.

“The train hasn’t arrived yet, it’s fine.” Ushijima responded.

“Yeah don’t worry Semi Semi.” Tendou said, he stayed a couple of seconds in silence looking behind Semi. “Are you guys going to the party too?”

Ushijima looked to whom Tendou was talking, he recognised Shirabu, and the boy next to him was the friend of the boy, he knew he was also friends with Oikawa, but he didn’t remember his name. 

“Yes.” Shirabu said with his neutral voice. 

Ushijima also noticed how Semi tensed when he heard the voice of the boy.

“Great! We can go together.” Tendou said. “Let's get wasted!”

 

Terushima was almost there, he was arriving to the party on time, Suna had told him to get there around eight, and it was eight fifteen, he usually prefered to be there fashionably late, but being on time wasn’t that bad.

When he was almost in the house he retired his words, it was bad.

In front of him was Daishou and Mika, his girlfriend by his hand, the girl smiled at him softly, she was too nice and pretty for this word. Daishou just looked at him.

Terushima wanted to hate Daishou with all his soul, but he couldn't, so in the moment Mika turned away Terushima licked his lips looking Daishou up and down, he knew he was back on dating Mika, he knew Daishou loved Mika, but he also loved kissing Terushima in secret.

Daishou gave him a smirk with that twist in his eyes that showed that he was thinking the same thing as him, they were thinking of what happened that morning in the bathroom. 

The couple entered the house first, Terushima stayed there for a couple of seconds trying to catch his breath, a part of him screamed that what they were doing was bad and unfair to Mika, but if it was so bad why did it feel so right when they kissed?

“Hey! Teru.” A loud voice said behind him.

“Hey Bo.” Terushima said smiling pretending he wasn’t sad and a little annoyed at the moment.

“Why haven’t you entered yet?” Bokuto asked, oblivious to Terushima’s sadness.

“I just got here.” 

“Then let’s get inside!”

“Yeah I need a drink right now.”

 

Akaashi ringed the bell of the door, unsure if it was heard over the loud music, it was around nine when he arrived, Bokuto had called him five times to insist him to come, Kuroo had texted him saying that Bokuto was going to do a mess if he wasn’t around, but the real reason he came was because Kenma asked him to come. 

“Hey Akaashi, I didn’t think you would come.” A boy said, opening the door.

“Miya-san.” Akaashi said, he remembered him, he was in his math class, but they didn’t talk too much.

“You know, you can call me Osamu.” He said with a smile, he wasn’t drunk, it was too early for that, but he looked like he had been drinking for a while. “If you need something, tell me, this place it’s like a second home to me, so if you get lost you can call me.”

“Thank you Osamu.” Akaashi said. “Do you happen to know where Bokuto-san is?”

“Last time I saw him, he was in the kitchen, he has to be somewhere.” Osamu responded, scrunching his nose.

“Thank you again.” 

Akaashi entered the party trying to find Bokuto or Kuroo, because wherever they were, Kenma had to be near. 

Osamu stayed looking in the direction Akaashi went, he kept looking even after he lost him in the crowd, he didn’t even notice that Suna was by his side until that moment.

“Akaashi is really pretty.” He said.

“It’s that you type?” Suna asked, forcing a smile, hoping that Osamu wouldn’t notice that was faking it.

Osamu looked at Suna for a couple of seconds, like he was really thinking about the question.

“Yeah, that’s my type.” 

Suna stayed in silence, he needed to do something to keep his mind distracted, so he did what he always did, he began to film things that he found funny, he didn’t think how those simple videos would end. 

Chapter 21: Keep drinking

Summary:

if the all night was going to be like that he would need something stronger to drink.

Notes:

Warning there it's undereage drinking in this chapter, a lot of it.

Chapter Text

It was late at night, but the party was just starting, they were talking in the living room, the music was loud enough so they had to shout at each other to be hear, Kenma was sitting next to Akaashi in the sofa, he was not enjoying the party, but Akaashi’s presence made it better, because he was not loud. 

Kuroo was sitting in the armrest of the sofa Kenma was sitting, really close to him, Kuroo was not drunk, at least Kenma didn’t think he was drunk already, but the truth was that he and Bokuto had been drinking since the moment they arrived there.  Yaku was with them talking, Kenma didn’t know about what exactly the three of them were talking, he bet it was something stupid.

“Are you not drinking tonight?” Akaashi asked, he had to raise his voice for Kenma to hear.

“No. I didn’t think you drinked.” Kenma responded the same way. 

Akaashi shrugged his shoulder.

“One drink would not kill me.” 

“Kenma!”  A loud voice said over the music. 

Kenma recognized the voice almost immediately, it was Lev, for reason it was always Lev. He was his friend, not that he would ever admit that in front of him, but sometimes he couldn't handle his personality, having Bokuto around was enough chaos for him, he didn’t want to see Lev right now.

“You came.” Was all that Kenma responded. 

“Yeah.” 

Kenma noticed the sad look on Lev's face, but didn’t comment on it either, he was good at reading people, so he knew that something had to happen to him, probably in his house.  Kenma saw the way Lev smiled when he noticed that Yaku was next to Kuroo talking.

“Yaku-san!” The tall boy said.

“Hey Akaashi.” Kenma said, turning his head to watch the boy. “Is Yaku drunk?”

Akaashi looked where Yaku and Lev were talking, he couldn't hear what they were talking over Kuroo’s and Bokuto’s obnoxious laughs and the music.

“He looks drunk.” 

“Fuck.”

Kenma didn’t want to admit but he worried a lot about Lev a lot, and he knew that Yaku had not the best patience when it came to the boy, and Yaku said a lot of mean things, even if he doesn’t mean it, so Yaku drunk had to be less patiente and more mean and he didn’t know if Lev would be able to take that. He stood up for the seat to get closer to Lev and Yaku, but he was late, Lev ran away before Kenma could get closer.

“What the fuck did you said to him?” Kenma shouted.

Yaku opened his eyes in surprise, like he was just registering now the words that left his mouth and the fact that Lev had already run away.

“Fuck, I fucked up.”  Yaku said.

“Yeah, go after him and apologise.” 

Yaku looked at Kenma for a couple of seconds before doing what he told him, the boy watched him walk through the crowd to follow the tall boy outside, leaving the party.

“Woah.” He heard Bokuto said.

“What did he say?” Kenma asked looking at Kuroo.

“You don’t want to know.” He responded simply, to give him a grin. “I knew you were a good boy Kenma.”

“Shut up.”

Kuroo laughed, loudly almost in his ear, if that would have been anybody else he would have killed them, but it was Kuroo, so Kenm only smiled softly at response.

“Bro, come with me I need to ask you something.” Bokuto asked over the music looking at Kuroo.

Kuroo looked conflicted for a couple of seconds, probably he was remembering he promised Kenma to be with him all night.

“It’s fine. I’ll be here.” Kenma said

Kenma and Akaashi watched how Bokuto and Kuroo disappeared going upstairs, neither of them knew what would happen after.

 

“That’s a surprise.” Ushijima said. “I didn’t think you would be here.”

His voice was in a normal volume, he was standing near the entrance, in the receiving hall, when he saw the person that entered the door.

“I thought the same about you.” He responded. “You don’t like parties.”

“Neither do you Kiyoomi.” 

Sakusa thought Ushijima looked out of place with the red cup in his hands, it was a vision of him that he hadn’t seen before, even in the months they dated last year.

“Who dragged you here?” 

“Tendou,“ Ushijima said offering the red cup to Sakusa. “did Komori bring you here?”

Sakusa looked at the cup with alcohol, in another moment he would have been disgusted just by the thought of sharing a cup, but he dated Ushijima, and a part of Sakusa remained himself that they had shared saliva, even if it was disgusting. He took the cup and drank it without thinking more.

“Thanks. And no, Motoya doesn’t know I’m here.” Sakusa said, feeling the burning sensation of the alcohol in his throat.  “I would appreciate it if you don’t tell him I’m here actually.”

“I haven’t seen you then.” The boy said with a little smile. “If you see Tendou can you tell me, I think I lost him.” 

“I will.” 

Sakusa said, starting to walk to find the real reason he was there, because he could deny it all he wanted but he was there for someone.

“And Kiyoomi.” Ushijima said loudly enough for Sakusa to turn around. “Miya is looking for you.” 

Sakusa froze for a second, but then just nodded to keep walking, now he was desperate to find Atsumu. 

 

“Ha in your face!” Hinata screamed in joy. “Take that Kageyama.” 

They have been playing beer-pong for a while, because if they had to drink they wanted to make it a competition, because they were dumb and competitives, the game started after Hinata suggested playing a game, and after twenty minutes of searching in google they landed in beer-pong.

“I’m still winning.” Kageyama said angrily after drinking all of his cup. 

A part in the mind of Hinata was wondering how they ended up like that, his mom would kill him if she found out he had been drinking while he is underage. He had to ask Kenma if he could stay in his house so his mother didn’t find out Hinata was at a party and drinking. Kenma didn’t care and said yes.

“Looking good Shouyou-kun.” A voice at his back said.

“Atsumu-san! I was looking for you early.” Hinata responded happily, after all Atsumu was the person that invited him to the party.

“How it’s the prettiest boy at the party doing?” Atsumu’s voice was like a purr. He was clearly drunk. 

Hinata was about to respond. He had gotten used to Atsumu’s shameless flirting, he knew Atsumu didn’t actually mean something deeper with his words, they were friends and Atsumu flirted with a lot of people. 

“We are busy here.” Kageyama said, his words clearly heavy because of the alcohol. 

“Oh Tobio-kun I didn’t see you there.” The attitude of Atsumu shifted, he was warm and nice with Hinata, but when he was talking to Kageyama he was cold. “I’m interrupting something?”

“Of course not.” Hinata said.

“Yes, can you leave.” Kageyama responded at the same time.

Atsumu looked at them both, before slowly walking in Kageyama’s direction. 

“We can share Shouyou, if that is what you wanted.” Atsumu said. "We can take turns."

Hinata looked at the two taller boys in shook, he knew Atsumu was a dick sometimes, but he didn’t expect him to say something like that, and the worst part was the look on Kageyama's face, like he was considering what Atsumu said. 

“What?” Hinata asked. 

“Don’t play dumb.” Atsumu said with a smile. “You knew Kageyama wanted you, I’m just here offering a deal.”

It was the alcohol, Hinata knew it, but his own brain was too confused by the drinks he had. 

“Fuck you, both of you.” Hinata said, walking away for the two boys. 

He didn’t know why Atsumu would insinuate something like that, but he walked away without looking back at the boys, he wanted to find Kenma, if the all night was going to be like that he would need something stronger to drink. 

 

“Semi Semi I need to find Wakatoshi-kun.” Tendou said, pulling Semi’s arm.

“He is somewhere, he is like six feets of pure muscle, he would be fine.” The boy responded.

“But what if he is not?” 

They were walking to the hall of the house, they were close to the entrance, next to them was the stair to go to the second floor.

“Tendou you are exaggerating.”

Tendou was about to respond when they were interrupted by a loud laugh, it came from the stairs.

“Stop, that’s disgusting.” A voice said. “He doesn’t have a crush on me.”

A voice Semi recognised almost immediately, Shirabu, his underclassman, the same boy he had a crush on since last year. Tendou seemed to notice Shirabu’s voice the same way, because they both stayed where they were to keep listening to the conversation. 

“He does.” A second voice said between laughs. 

“No, can you imagine it? me dating him?” Shirabu said before exporting in laughs again.

He had to be drunk, Semi in all the years he had known Shirabu had never heard him laugh that way.

“Oh my god, that would be hilarious.”

“I could never like someone like that.” The boy said.

Semi was curious, he wanted to know who they were talking about, who was this person that they knew had a crush on Shirabu, and why it was so funny.

“But he does, what are you gonna do if he confesses?” The second voice asked if Semi remembered correctly his name was Yahaba. 

“I don’t think he would confess. I have given him all these hints that I don’t like him, that I can’t stand him. I don’t think he would be dumb enough to confess.”  Shirabu said.

“Semi, let’s go.” Tendou said next to him. “We have to find Ushijima.”

“Wait just a second.” Semi responded.

He needed to know the name of the person.

“You know Semi-san it’s really an insisting person, I don’t think he would give up on you.”

It took him seconds to process that his name was being thrown there, it took him more time to realise that all the things that they had said were about him. He didn’t notice the way Tendou was looking at him.

“I hope he would, is he really that dense to realise I don’t like him and i would never-”

If Shirabu kept talking Semi didn’t realize, he turned around to look at Tendou with a sad expression.

“I think I’m going back home.” 

Tendou didn’t stop him, he just wished him a good night. Semi walked into the entrance which was visible from the stairs, so Shirabu had to see him leave, but Semi didn’t turn around to see if the boy was looking at him. He bumped into someone before going out.

“Are you leaving?”  The boy asked.

“Yeah, thanks for the party.” Semi responded looking at Suna, who just nodded in his direction.

Semi didn’t notice the phone in Suna’s hand, and then he left the party. Three people had left the party already, two of them with their hearts broken and with tears in their eyes.

Chapter 22: Drunk in love

Summary:

"are you drunk?” The boy asked with a smile.

“Fuck off, it’s the truth, I enjoy your company, and this is the only time that I would admit it.”

Chapter Text

Hinata was walking to the crowd, pushing people who were dancing while looking for his friend, he still didn’t know why Atsumu’s words have affected him that much, maybe he was overreacting and a little drunk but he needed Kenma at that moment. 

Kenma was sitting on a couch talking with Akaashi, the two boys ignoring the chaos around them, like they were having a nice chat in the afternoon instead of being in a big party with alcohol and unsupervised teenagers. Hinata threw himself over the couch next to Kenma who didn’t even look surprised.

“I hate Kageyama.” Hinata said loudly enough to be heard.

“Did he win beer-pong?” Kenma asked patting softly the ginger’s hair

“No I was winning.” Hinata was pouting. “But then Atsumu-san appeared and said some weird things, so I left.” 

Hinata wasn’t looking directly at them but he could notice how Akaashi and Kenma looked at each other having a silent conversation.

“What did he say, Shouyou?” Kenma asked.

“I know Miya, he is a little difficult, but I’m sure he is not mean, at least he seems to like you, Hinata.” Akaashi said.

“That’s the problem.” Hinata groaned. “He said he and Kageyama liked me, or at least that was what he implayed.”

“What?” 

“It doesn't matter anymore.”

Hinata took the cup out of Kenma’s hand and drank it without caring how bad it burned his throat, that was definitely stronger than anything he drank while playing beer-pong with Kageyama.

“I didn't drink that because I don’t know what Bokuto put in there.” Kenma explained looking at Hinata in shock, he didn’t expect him to drink it all in one go.

“Don’t worry, I’m not drunk.” Hinata said even if he could feel the alcohol making effect in his body.

 

Yaku was running in the streets in the middle of the night, he hadn’t find Lev yet, for a second he considered going into the house of the boy to check if he was okey, but he was getting tired and he still wanted to enjoy his night, even if the guilt would eat him alive. He was going back to Suna’s house to explain to Kenma that he didn’t find Lev and would talk to him in the morning. 

But then he noticed someone else sitting in the park, it was pretty close to Suna’s house, it was less than a block away, he didn’t know why he didn’t check the park first, but now if he paid attention he could see the tall figure laying in the grass.

“I was looking for you.” Yaku murmured, his words were a little slow but he blamed it on the alcohol in his system. 

“Oh Yaku-san.” Lev said like a whisper.

The face of the boy looked like he had been crying and the guilt hit Yaku hard, he was the reason why he left the party.

“I’m sorry.” Yaku said, straight to the point. 

“Don’t apologise, I was the one that ran away.” Lev was not looking at him, he was watching the star above them. 

“I thought you will be at home already.” Yaku noticed how the boy tensed, he started to get worried. “Why are you still here?”

“It’s nothing.” Lev murmured.

“Lev. I’m here to hear you, anything you want to say I will not judge you.” 

They stayed in silence for a couple of seconds, Yaku ended up sitting in the grass next to Lev, the distance between them was not too much but they were closer than any other time they have been sitting together.

“I fight with my family before coming here.” Lev started talking, his voice sounded so little, like he was scared of talking too loud about that. “They said I should be more like Alisa, that my grades are not enough, that my behavior it’s bad, that I’m not enough.”

The last words hit Yaku with force, now he understood why he runned away when Yaku was talking to him, because he had said the same mean phrase, he didn’t actually meant it, he was actually joking, but he shouldn’t have said that.

“I’m sorry.” Yaku murmured.

“Don’t be. It 's fine.” 

“No, it's not.” Yaku said, looking at Lev’s eyes. “And I’m sorry for every mean thing I have ever said to you, you are a nice guy, a little annoying, yes, but you are nice and funny.” 

“Yaku-san are you drunk?” The boy asked with a smile.

“Fuck off, it’s the truth, I enjoy your company, and this is the only time that I would admit it.” 

The tears appeared in Lev’s eyes, but his smile didn’t disappear, he was happy. In a quick movement he throws himself to Yaku, embracing the shorter boy.

“Oi, Lev, get off.” Yaku said, feeling his face burning.

“I like you Yaku-san.”

Yaku pretended he didn’t hear the boy say those words and hug him back, so they were at the end cuddling in the grass watching the stars. Yaku at the end didn’t go back to the party, but he didn’t know someone was watching them and taking pictures that would destroy their inestable relationship. 

 

“Where were you?” Osamu asked, the moment he saw Suna enter the door. “I can’t believe you left your own party.” 

“I was just taking pictures of the sky.” Suna responded simply. 

Osamu looked at him in disbelief, he was sober, Suna knew that Osamu in partys drinked even more than Atsumu, but today he was just drinking soda for some reason.

“It’s a weird way of saying you were out doing drugs?” 

“Maybe.” Suna said, it was better say that than explain what he was actually doing. “Did you need me for something or…?”

“Oh right.” He said, looking a little anxious for a moment. “I kinda need moral support.” 

“What?”

“I want to go to talk to Akaashi, but he is with his friends and I don’t want to look rude.” Osamu admitted, in times like this Suna remembered he and Atsumu shared dna, they both were stupid. 

“Just go to talk to him, I’m not going there to watch you flirt and fail.” 

“Please?” Osamu asked softly and Suna was incapable of saying no. 

That’s go he ended up sitting next to Kenma while Osamu talked to Akaashi, Kenma didn’t talk too much, but the boy next to him talked a lot, Suna knew him because Atsumu talked a lot about him, he was Hinata who was clearly drunk.

“I’m bored.” The ginger said, Suna had to concentrate really hard to not pay attention to Osamu flirting with Akaashi. “Suna-san do you want to do something?”

“I’m fine, but I can give you an idea if you want.” Suna said drinking the alcohol in his cup. “I always film shit when I’m bored, then I see the videos to see if I filmed something good.”

Hinata’s face lit up. “That’s a good idea!” 

And without saying much he took the phone that was in the table next to them and started filming all around him, Kenma just watched Hinata walking away. 

“Do you want to dance?” Osamu asked, Suna turned his head to see how he was asking Akaashi.

“Not now.” Akaashi said with his polite tone. “I’m actually waiting for Bokuto-san.”

“Oh, where is he?” 

“He went upstairs a while ago.” Kenma responded, clearly he was also listening to the conversation. 

Suna saw that as an opportunity to get out.

“I will go to find him, I don’t want anyone in my room.” Suna said 

And just like that he standed to walk upstairs, he didn't turn around even when he could feel the look of Osamu burning his head.

 

Kageyama pushed Atsumu to try to follow Hinata, but he had already lost the ginger in the crowd. He turned around to glare at Atsumu.

“Fuck you.”  Kageyama said, his tongue felt heavy because of the alcohol. “You are the worst.”

“You are not the first person to say it.” Atsumu said laughing. “And for the record, I was just messing with you.”

Atsumu started walking away, the party was always noisy, and he started to get tired. Maybe it was a good idea to get some water, he didn’t want to end up throwing up in Suna’s bed again, the kitchen was empty, which was not a surprise since most people or when outside or stay in the main room. 

But then Atsumu noticed someone was there in the kitchen, his black hair looked as beautiful as always, even when the horrible neon yellow jacket Sakusa looked beautiful.

“Omi-kun?” Atsumu asked. 

Sakusa turned around to lock eyes with Atsumu.

“Hello.”

“What are you doing here, I thought you don't like parties, and Suna told me you weren’t coming.” Atsumu said maybe a little too quickly. 

“Well I’m here, aren’t I?” Sakusa responded, even if his words sounded cold to anyone else who would hear them, Atsumu knew that his words were sincere, and he was not being mean.

“Yeah you are, but maybe you are just  in my mind.” Atsumu jokes.

“Why would I be in your mind, Miya?” 

Sakusa was slowly getting closer to Atsumu, and if we would have been sober he would have gotten nervous, but the nervous didn’t show up when he had been drinking. 

“You are always in my mind Omi-kun.”

Atsumu looked at the black eyes of Sakusa, he was still wearing his mask, think that was probably because of how many people were at the party, Osamu had been right, a party was the last place he expects Sakusa to be, it didn't make any sense for him to be there.

“Why did you decide to come?” Atsumu asked, he didn’t know what type of game they were playing but this time he was the one that got closer.

“I wanted to do something.” He confessed.

“Something like what?” 

He watched how Sakusa slowly took one of the ear loops of his mask, Atsumu felt like the air was getting stuck in his lungs. Kiyoomi was really beautiful, it didn't matter how many times he had seen him without a mask, every time he saw him he forgot how to breathe.

“Something like this.” Sakusa murmured.

And before Atsumu could realise their faces were millimetres away, he could feel the hot breath of Sakusa in his lips, the boy was silently asking for permission, Atsumu thought he was going to die right there. Sakusa Kiyoomi wanted to kiss him.

“Kiss me.” Atsumu murmured, and Sakusa obeyed. 

Their kiss was not long but Atsumu could feel the butterflies in his stomach, he could die happy that night. But then he noticed the conflicted expression in Sakusa’s face.

“You are drunk.” He murmured, probably noticing Atsumu’s alcohol breath. Sakusa moved away. “I’m sorry.”

“No, Omi, don’t worry.” Atsumu tried to say.

“This was a mistake, I’m sorry.” And saying that he runned away from the kitchen.

Atsumu looked in the direction that Sakusa had gone, so at the end it was a mistake, he thought, and considering all what happened, getting blackout drunk wasn't a bad idea after all, ignoring the pain in his chest he got to the party again. Neither of them noticed Hinata in the door, drunk enough to not know what he was doing with a phone in his hand with the camera rolling.

Chapter 23: Kissing and fighting

Summary:

Maybe they were both really drunk and this was a bad idea.

Chapter Text

“Oh my god Daichi are you drunk?” Michimiya asked with a little smile.

The boy looked up with a smile, he had been drinking all night, he usually was the responsible one, the one that looked after his drunk friends but even he deserved a night to relax from time to time.

“Just a little.” Daichi responded.

“Dance with me.” The girl said, taking Daichi’s hand, the boy just laughed and followed the girl to the dance floor where everyone was dancing. 

Next to them were two boys, one of them with a sly smile in his face and the other had a sour expression. 

“Ugh look at them.” Suga murmured annoyed, his eyes fixed on Daichi dancing.

“Yes, I see them.” Oikawa responded without erasing his smile. “It’s funny seeing you like this Koushi-chan.” 

“Of course you of all people would think my suffering it’s funny.” 

“I’m just saying, I didn’t expect Mr. Refreshing to have claws.” Oikawa teased, putting his arm around Suga’s shoulder. “Daichi is not into that girl, relax.”

“You don’t know that.” Suga responded a little annoyed, but didn’t push Oikawa away. “And I’m pretty sure Daichi is straight.” 

Oikawa laugh like he had been told the best joke of all time.

“I have heard him talking about your angeling face for hours, believe me he likes you.” 

“In what context did that happen?” Suga asked confused.

“You know we hang out in Ushiwaka’s house?” Oikawa asked before continuing. “Well, we have weekly simping hour, when it’s just Bokuto and Kuroo talking for a whole hour about their crushes.” 

“Do you talk about Iwaizumi there?”

“Shut up, we are talking about your obvious pining, not mine.” The boy said ignoring the comment of Suga that made his cheeks glow red. “I have an idea.”

“I hate when you said that.” Suga sighed.

“As I was saying, you should go and tell her that you two are dating.” 

Suga looked where Daichi and Michimiya were dancing, he always knew Daichi was a great dancer, but watching him dance with someone else was killing him, it should be him, not Michimiya dancing so close to Daichi that he could hear his heartbeat. 

“But that’s not true.” Suga murmured. 

“Who cares, in case it goes wrong, just say you're drunk, or that I dare you.” Oikawa said pushing Suga. “Go get your man.” 

Suga was standing on the dance floor alone, when he turned to look around Oikawa was not there anymore. Suga was not even tipsy, he was practically sober and even if he didn’t want to admit he liked Oikawa’s plan, it  wasn’t like it could go wrong.

He started to get closer to the pair, even with the loud music he could hear them talking. 

“You are really handsome Daichi.” The girl said. 

“Thank you.” Daichi responded, laughing.

“Hey I wanted to tell you this for a while but I-”

“Hey Daichi!” He found himself interrupting, putting his arm around his friend. He tried his best to look drunk enough to be convincing. “What are you doing babe?”

“Babe?” Michimiya asked looking at Suga.

“He didn’t tell you?” Suga was starting to regret even listening to Oikawa, but he was not retiring now. “We are dating.”

“You what?!” The girl asked, raising her voice. 

Daichi wasn’t saying anything, that was the worst part, because he noticed some people had started to look at them when she screamed. Suga didn’t know why the boy wasn’t saying anything.

“What happened babe? Are you so drunk that you forgot?” Suga asked, looking Daichi at the eyes.

He expected anything, Daichi laughing nervously, or responding with words saying that he did in fact not remember that, a part of him even expected the boy to scream at him or something. He didn’t expect Daichi to kiss him in the middle of the dance floor right in front of Michimiya.

 

“I already said no.” Tsukishima said, looking at his friend.

Yamaguchi was standing next to him with a red cup in his hand, and a little smile in his face, even if the smile looked more like a nervous one than a happy one. They have been all night together, not doing much just standing there. Yachi had already left by that point.

“But Tsukki, it’s just one dance.” Yamaguchi insisted. 

“No. You can go if you want to.” 

Yamaguchi signed and kept drinking from his cup looking away. Tsukishima hated parties, the loud music, the drunk people, the dancing, the noise, everything, but for some reason he came there. He wanted to be with Yamaguchi enjoying the night, but he didn’t understand why they had to be at the party, they could be together in Yamaguchi’s house having a sleepover and it would be better. 

Even the constant murmure of Yamaguchi next to him was starting to feel annoying.

“Can you shut up?” Tsukishima asked. The words left his mouth with more anger than he intended.

“I was just asking you.” Yamaguchi responded, his voice sounded annoyed. “Just say no.”

“Well I already said no. Go look for someone else to annoy.” 

They didn’t fight, in all of his years as friends never have they fought, and with the alcohol in his body this wasn’t going to finish well, Tsukishima knew it, but for some reason he couldn't keep his mouth closed. 

“What’s your deal?” Yamaguchi’s voice was getting louder, something that he didn’t hear too often.

“Why don’t you go with piercing boy, I’m sure he would love to hear you talk.” 

“Are you jealous I have friends?” The boy with freckles snapped. 

“Friends you said.” The mockery in his voice was clear. 

“You are such an asshole.”  Yamaguchi responded frustrated. 

“Why are you still next to me if I’m such an asshole?” Tsukishima asked the same way. “You depend on me. It’s so pathetic!”

Maybe this fight was meant to happen sometime, it was like a timebomb ready to explode at any minute, and it exploded that night in front of everybody, they were so involved in the fight that they didn’t even notice Hinata next to them filming, and someone else filming Hinata at the same time. 

“I’m tired, I’m out.” Tsukishima said after not receiving a reply from Yamaguchi.

“No.” Yamaguchi said, his voice did not tremble. “I’m fucking tired of you!”

Tsukishima froze, he didn’t expect that actually. 

“I’m the only one that has stood by your side for years, so when you are alone because you pushed everyone away don’t look for me. I’m tired of you.”

Tsukishima left the party after that, the crowd dispersed, and Yamaguchi stood there in silence, his throat hurted, and his heart did too.

“You did well, freckles.” Terushima said next to him. “You were standing for yourself.”

“I don’t know if that was right.” Yamaguchi murmured.

“Forget him, do you want to dance with me?”

Yamaguchi even if his chest hurted and wanted to cry he smiled at his friend. 

“Sure. I wanted to dance all night.”

“Good thing you have me then.” 

 

“So what did you want to tell me, Bo?” Kuroo asked following Bokuto upstairs. 

“Let’s find a private place first.” He responded.

They walked to the hall of the second floor, they noticed two boys entering what looked like the bathroom together, Kuroo and Bokuto exchanged knowing looks before starting laughing, they opened the next door, it looked like Suna’s room.

“So, what happened?” Kuroo asked, sitting in the bed.

“I want to ask Akaashi out.” Bokuto said.

“Really?” He knew of Bokuto’s crush on the boy, but he also knew his friend wasn’t the type of boy that did something when he had a crush. “Congrats man, I think you two will make an awesome couple.

“Thanks! Just like you and Kenma.”

“I’m not dating Kenma.” Kuroo said with a smile. 

“Oh I thought you had confessed, since he came with you to a party.” 

“It’s not a big deal, and Hinata is also here.” 

Bokuto put his big arm around Kuroo’s shoulder bringing him closer. 

“Bro, he came with you because you asked him.” Bokuto said with a big smile. “Bro I need to know something.”

“Shoot.” 

“Are you a good kisser?” 

“Of course am I!” Kuroo responded almost immediately. “why you ask?”

“I want that when I kiss Akaashi  to be perfect, and I don’t know if I’m a good kisser.” The boy said.

Kuroo looked at his friend for a second, because he got an idea, maybe they were both really drunk and this was a bad idea, but he couldn’t help to ask.

“You want to kiss me?, you for practice?” Kuroo asked.

“You would do that for me Kuroo?” 

“Of course.” 

In the moment the words left his mouth he was surprised by the lips of Bokuto against his own, Bokuto’s kiss was actually surprisingly good, and Kuroo ended up letting himself be guided in the kiss. He didn’t stop Bokuto when he felt his hands in his hips pulling him closer.

“Fuck.” Kuroo murmured under his breath when he realised he was sitting on top of Bokuto. “Nobody will know about this.”

“Deal.” Bokuto said with a little smile. “Can we kiss again, like  for practice?” 

“Yeah sure.” Kuroo said before connecting their mouths again.

Neither of them hear the door opening slightly, or the owner of the room standing there with his cellphone in his hand.

Chapter 24: The end of the night

Summary:

the party wasn’t as noisy as it was in the start, and now it was coming to an end,

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

“Hey Suna!” A voice said in the hall.

Suna almost threw his phone when he heard his friend approaching him, he closed the door of his room trying to not look too guilty, he hoped Komori didn’t notice he was filming. 

“Hey.” Suna responded trying to look relaxed.

“What are you doing here?” 

“This is my house, Komori.” Suna said. 

Komori smiled at him softly.

“You know what I meant.” Komori responded leaning on the wall.

Suna sighed. “I was bored.” 

“Is someone in your room?” Komori asked when he noticed that Suna was still standing in front of his door “Are they fucking.”

“I hope not.” He tried to sound non interested. “But they were making out.”

“Who?” Komori was an addict to gossip the same way he was, that was the reason why they were such good friends. “You can just tell me then and not say their names.”

“Sorry I respect their privacy.” A lie. “Why are you upstairs?” 

“I was looking for the bathroom, but I saw you here.” Komori said with a smile.

“Then go.” 

Suna walked to open the door of the bathroom, to their surprise two boys were already there, Matsukawa and Hanamaki, two upperclassmen, really funny and nice. Komori and Suna stare in silence for a couple of seconds before closing the door again. They walked to the stairs in complete silence, and without saying anything they both sat down in steps laughing. 

“Oh my god that was so weird.” Komori said laughing. 

“What’s with everyone making out at my party?” Suna was also laughing.

He remembered himself that his phone was still recording, it was in the front pocket of his jeans, so he didn’t know if he did film the two boys making out in the bathroom, but he could always check later. 

“I don’t know, I kinda want it too.” Komori said with a smile. “Having your main character moment in a coming of age movie.”

“You see too many movies.” Suna said. “and you would not be the main character.”

“Why not? I bet I can get someone right now.” Komori started to stand up, but Suna didn’t allow him. 

Suna was putting Komori down, he was almost on top of him, they both sitting in the stair, with their bodies pressed against the wall.

“What about me?” Suna asked with a serious tone.

Komori just looked at him with a sad smile.

“Is Osamu flirting with someone again?” He asked.

Suna flinched before slowly moving from on top of Komori to sit right next to him. 

“How did you know?” 

“The last time Osamu flirted with someone else you made out with Atsumu.” Komori explained with a smile.

“Disgusting that was years ago.” 

“And I keep saying all this years that you two are stupid and you like each other since the day I meet you two.” Komori said.

“Well he likes Akaashi, so I don’t know what you are saying.” Suna murmured more bitter than he originally intended.

“He said that?”

“I mean, he said he was his type and had been flirting with him all night.” 

Komori looked at him with a tired expression.

“You realised you and Akaashi look similar, right?” Komori asked, he looked really done with Suna’s moping. “If his type is guys like Akaashi, you are probably his type too.”

“You are crazy.”

“And you are in denial.” Komori said before standing up to go downstairs. “I hope you don’t do anything crazy.

“You know me.” Suna said with a smile

“That’s exactly why I’m saying that.”

 

Hinata was sitting in the sofa, he had never been so drunk in his short life, and a part of him knew that he would hate himself tomorrow, but that is a problem for him of the morning, not the one of now. 

“Kenma.” Hinata said, elongating the letters of the name. “I’m tired, let’s go home.”

“I don’t know Shouyou.” Kenma responded with a neutral expression. “I was waiting for Kuroo.”

“But it had been hours.” Hinata said, he sounded like a little kid.

“I know.”

“Kenma.”

“What?” The boy couldn’t get angry at Hinata, even if Kenma didn’t have a lot of patience when it came to the cute ginger he was always nice. No one could hate him.

“Why do you care that much about Kuroo?” He asked, his eyes weren’t even focusing on Kenma.

“Why do you care so much about Kageyama?” Kenma asked in response.

He was not going to have that conversation with a drunk Hinata, not even with sober Hinata he felt ready to have that conversation. So shifting the conversation to Hinata seemed like the safe option.

“He is my friend.” Hinata said with a dumb smile. “even if he is mean, and dumb, and stubborn, and stupid, and mean, and beautiful, and nice.” 

A part of Kenma wanted to laugh at the way Hinata was talking especially considering he was talking about Kageyama.

“You sound like you have a crush on him.” Kenma said with a teasing tone.

“Maybe” Hinata laughed. “He is the best. But you are the best too Kenma!”

“I’m glad you think that of me.” 

“Kenma do you think he likes me?”

“Yeah, I mean it’s pretty obvious.” A part of him felt bad to be having this conversation in the state that Hinata was, but he didn't stop talking. “But you know him, I don’t think he would go and say; ‘I have a crush on you.’ He doesn’t look like the type of guy who would confess.”

“Yeah.” Hinata seemed to think for a while, Kenma always thought Hinata would be a loud drunk, but he was sitting on the sofa thinking about life. “Can we go home?”

Kuroo was taking his time, it had been almost an hour since he went upstairs with Bokuto, and it was already really late, and Kenma was tired, he wasn’t a social person, and he needed to be in his room alone, well not alone, Hinata was going to stay with him for the night. 

“Yeah, you are right.” Kenma said, looking one time more to the stairs hoping that Kuroo would appear there. but nothing happened.  “Let’s go, Shouyou.” 

 

“Well freckles, this was a nice night.” Terushima said with a smile on his lips.

“Thank you, for not leaving me alone.” Yamaguchi.

They have been dancing and laughing since the fight, Terushima doing everything in his power to stop Yamaguchi from being sad.

“Of course, I know you don’t feel comfortable in places like this, I’m glad you let me be with you.”

“Don’t be so serious Yuuji.” Yamaguchi said. “I’m sorry, you probably wanted to flirt but you couldn't because of me.”

“Well I flirted with you, I call that a victory.” 

Nobody knew how they became friends, but that was not very important, they were maybe a little opposite but they were friends. Yamaguchi enjoyed the outgoing personality of Terushima, and he enjoyed the nice and calm personality of the freckled boy, but then he discovered that Yamaguchi could be really salty and mean, and that duality Terushima loved.

“I think I’m going back home.” Yamaguchi said with a smile. “Goodnight.”

Terushima was about to ask if he wanted to walk home together, because it was already late outside, but then he noticed Daishou standing in the hallway looking at him with a smile in his lips, he slowly nodden in direction of a door and then he entered it.

Did Daishou really think Terushima would just follow him, out of nowhere, just because he vaguely asked?

“Goodnight, freckles.” Terushima said following Daishou.

Daishou was right, Terushima would follow him. 

He opened the door quickly noting it wasn’t a room, but a kind of closet, ironic, he thought. In the moment he closed the door behind him he was attacked by Daishou’s lips against his own.

“Hey wait, where it’s Mika?” Terushima asked, putting a little distance between the two of them. “Is she still at the party?”

“Teru.” Daishou murmured trying to kiss the boy again.

“Daishou, where is she?” 

“Somewhere in the party with her friend.” Daishou responded. His hand was still in Tersuhima’s shirt.

Yuuji liked the way Daishou touched him, the way he kissed him, but the rational part of his brain reminded that Daishou had a girlfriend, a nice cute girl.

“When are you going to break up with her?” He asked, his lips were dangerously close. 

“Can we talk about this in another moment?” Daishou asked, his hands slowly moving around Terushima’s body. “Please?”

“If you don’t want to talk then shut me up.” 

And Daishou took that invitation devouring the lips of the boy. 

 

“Hey, have any of you seen Oikawa?” The boy asked.

“Oh no, I haven’t seen him.” Ushijima responded looking at the boy.

“I haven’t seen him in all night” 

“Maybe he is outside.” Tendou said with a smile, he was right next to Ushijima, both of them sitting suspiciously close.

“Okay, thanks.” The boy responded.

He went outside, the party wasn’t as noisy as it was in the start, and now it was coming to an end, almost half of the people have left, the big majority of people that were still in the party were too drunk to move or do something else. He quickly found Oikawa laying in the grass, he was looking at the sky with a smile.

“There you are.”

Oikawa only smiled in response.

Notes:

That was the end of the party! the next chapter will be what happened after the video were posted.

And yes I didn't show the part of Oikawa because I didn't want to reveal who is the second person.

As always thanks for reading!!

Chapter 25: The mistake

Summary:

he hoped no one had noticed the fact that the phone in the video wasn’t Hinata’s phone but his own. 

Chapter Text

Oikawa was sitting in his seat, he had run all the way from his house, he couldn't believe he had overselp, he didn’t even got time to do his hair, what was a tragedy if you ask him, but he was using the hood to cover the mess that was his hair, he didn’t even check his phone after he sent to the group chat that he would be late until he was sitting in his chair, now he noticed that Iwaizumi had send him texts asking where he was. That was sweet knowing he worried about him always made him happy. 

He noticed Ushijima had sent him a text too, but he ignored it without reading it, and went to the secrets account. Oikawa had just finished watching the videos that had been posted minutes ago, mentally he patted his own back for thinking of Hinata as secretly a little shit, but he knew that someone else had filmed the video of him filming so maybe it wasn’t actually him, but Oikawa took that as a half victory.  

He slowly turned his head to look at his friends who were looking at him.

“So.” Oikawa started, trying his best to not laugh. “I didn't think you actually mean it, when you two said you were fucking in the bathroom.”

Oikawa said, remembering the time Iwaizumi asked them where they had been in the party, and their answer was that. At the moment Oikawa thought they were joking, now he knew they meant it.

“You didn’t believe us.” Matsukawa responded simply, like it wasn’t a big deal.

“You two fuck in a bathroom, while I was crying in the floor.” Oikawa said looking at his friend with a fake anger, he wasn’t angry, it was actually funny.

“Yep.” Hanamaki said with a smile.

“It was not the first time that happened.” Matsukawa said, like he was talking about his last test, completely neutral and kinda bored. 

“You two are unbelievable.” Oikawa said, then he turned his head to look at Iwaizumi. “Did you knew?”

Iwaizumi looked surprised to be dragged to the conversation, he looked at Oikawa for a couple of seconds, his eyes went for a second to the lilac hoodie before standing up.

“I need to do something.” And with that Iwaizumi walked out of the room.

“What happened?” Oikawa asked, looking back at his two friends.

Hanamaki and Matsukawa looked at each other for a couple of seconds, having a silent argument before turning to Oikawa. 

“Nice hoodie.” 

Oikawa looked at them confused for a couple of seconds before looking down to himself, he was wearing the lilac hoodie, he ran out house so quickly because he didn't know what to be too late he didn't realise he was not using his own hoodie. He looked up searching with his eyes Ushijima who was in the first row of seats looking at him, he pointed at his phone.

Oikawa went to Ushijima’s text and he almost screamed at himself, he should have checked the text before.

You are using by hoodie

He was fucked,it had been his mistake for not realising it sooner, he wondered if Iwaizumi had noticed the fact that the hoodie was the same as the picture of Ushijima, that it even had his name on it. How he was supposed to explain himself now when all the proof were in his face. 

 

Hinata felt like he wanted to throw up, the way so many people were looking at him, the way they were all whispering about him. He didn’t even get the chance to watch the rest of the videos because seeing himself was too shocking, he didn’t remember filming the fight, he didn’t remember the fight at all, he had seen the video that now he learned he filmed it himself.

It was the recess and he was walking out of his class now, a part of him wanted to find Tsukishima and Yamaguchi to say sorry, but the other part of him didn’t want to see them right now. Also he knew Kageyama has been watching him since the moment he walked out of his class, but he didn’t come closer to say anything.

Hinata was planning on going to the bathroom when a hand pulled him to one of the classrooms, he almost screamed but he noticed the owner of the hand that had pulled him in.  “Yachi?” He asked looking at the short girl.

“Tsukishima wants to kill you.” She said quickly. 

“Yeah, I kinda imagine that.” Hinata murmured, Kenma told him Tsukishima had screamed at him while thinking he filmed the fight, he didn’t want to imagine what he would do to him now that he saw Hinata filming.

“I think Yamaguchi is mad too, not as much as Tsukishima but he didn’t look okay with the video.” The girl kept explaining.

“Thank you, for telling me.” He didn’t exactly know what he could do in that situation. “Yachi.”

“hm?” The girl asked, looking at the direction of the door as she was making sure Tsukishima didn’t appear there to kill them.

“I didn’t post it.” He said. “I mean I had to film it, but I don’t remember doing it, but I didn’t post it.” 

“I believe you.” She said simply, before sighing. “Actually I don’t even blame you for filming it, I don’t get why they are so mad, they had the fight in the first place, that it’s not your fault.”

“Thanks.” Hinata said for a second time in that short conversation, he didn’t know what other thing he could say if he was honest.

“Did you see the other videos?” Yachi asked to change the topic, relaxing a little more.

“Nop, I didn't have time.”

“You should do it.”

Hinata took out his cellphone to see the videos, there were a couple of people he didn’t know, even Kageyama insisted the ginger knew everybody he didn't know half of these people. Then he started watching people he knew with his mouth opened in surprise.

“Suga-san and Daichi-san?” He asked, surprised. “Oh my god.”

“Yeah, that it’s kinda not a surprise, to be honest I always thought they  were a couple. I am happy for them.” Yachi said.

Hinata keeps watching going to the next video.

“Atsumu-san.” He murmured watching the video of the boy and Sakusa.

He didn’t know he also filmed that one, he looked at the video in a little bit of shock, he didn’t know that he and Sakusa liked each other. Hinata then started watching the video that had Kenma tagged in, it was a really short video in comparison to the others.

He vaguely remembered that moment, it was really late, the video didn’t show many people so that had to happen almost at the end of the party, Hinata was sitting next to Kenma, the older boy was watching him a little smile in his lips, then he heard Kenma’s voice.

“I have a crush on you.”

He definitely didn’t remember any of this.

 

Atsumu was standing there almost too in shock to even react, Komori was looking at him with a little smile on his lips.

“You should give him a little space.” Komori said. “This is complicated for him, you know him.” 

“Is this why he is ignoring me?” Atsumu asked, horrified, he didn’t remember what his drunk self did. “Does he hate me?”

He wanted to kiss Sakusa more than he had wanted to kiss his previous crushes, and now he learned that he in fact had kissed him, and he didn’t even remember. But in his mind it made sense, since Sakusa had been ignoring him since a little after the party, it had to be for that.

“Maybe you should ask him that.” Komori said scratching the back of his neck. “But not now, please.”

“Thank you.”  Atsumu said, giving the boy a short bow. “I’m sorry if I hurt your cousin.”

“You are giving apologizes to the wrong person.” 

Atsumu went back to his seat. Osamu laughed at the defeated face that his twin had.

“Shut up.” Atsumu murmured. “You saw the video of Suna and Komori.”

“Yeah but I didn’t fuck up as you did.” Osamu said with a teasing tone. 

“You are not even jealous?” Atsumu asked, trying to change the topic of the conversation.

“Why should I be?” 

“I forgot you are also an idiot.” 

 

The boy took the case out of his phone to throw it in the trash. He saw the video of Hinata filming that fight with his cellphone, he hoped no one had noticed the fact that the phone in the video wasn’t Hinata’s phone but his own. 

“Hey, we're going to history, are you coming?” A voice at his back said. 

“Yeah, one moment.” He said coming out of the bathroom cubicle.

He hoped that nobody would realise that he was the one that sent the videos, he didn't think Hinata would be exposed, he didn't even notice that someone had filmed Hinata, that was his mistake. He needed to find out who were behind the account before it was too late.



Chapter 26: Blame it on the alcohol

Summary:

“I don’t know what to do.” 

Chapter Text

Sakusa was looking at himself in the mirror, the cold water from the tap burned his hands, but it didn’t matter how much he tried to wash his hands, he still felt dirty.  His hair was a mess because of how much he had passed his hands through it, also he felt like he needed to change his mask, but also he didn’t want to take the one that he was using off. 

The bathroom door opened and for a couple of seconds he was scared that Atsumu was the one walking through that door, eve if it was not him, he didn't want to see anybody, Suna and Osamu would be as bad options as Atsumu, and he knew Komori would not provide of any actual help. 

“Kiyoomi, are you okay?” A voice asked softly. 

Sakusa turned around to see Ushijima, actually the only person that he could bear right now. 

“No.” Sakusa responded looking at him.

Ushijima slowly nodded, he walked to get close to Sakusa, and extended his hand in a silent question. Kiyoomi thought about it for a couple of seconds, he didn’t want to be touched right now, but he did need somebody. 

Sakusa nodded.

“I saw the video.” Ushijima murmured, he was touching Sakusa’s hair, trying to arrange his messy curls.  

Even if their relationship was a secret for a long time they didn't hide their friendship, even now that they have broken up long ago they still maintain a platonic relationship. They were just friends who happened to have dated in the past. 

Sakusa’s mind ended up imaging how would be if Atsumu was the one patting his hair, it had to feel nice, but maybe he would never know because of that stupid video, he planned never tell Atsumu about that, and he would understand if the boy didn’t want to talk to him anymore. 

“I fucked up.” Sakusa sighed.

“Want to talk about it?” 

“He was drunk.” He said like that explained the whole story. “And I was not, I shouldn't have kissed him.”

“Have you told this to him?” Ushijima questioned.

“How? Wakatoshi, he didn’t remember any of that.” Sakusa said feeling more frustrated with himself.

“So you run away.” 

Sakusa knew Ushijima didn't just mean now, that he had literally run away from Atsumu, he meant all this time he had been ignoring him and the feeling he had for him.

“I don’t know what to do.” 

Ushijima’s hand stopped, slowly went down to take off the mask of Kiyoomi, who looked a little surprised by the action but didn’t say anything.

“First you are going to wash your face, then you are going back to class, and stop running from Atsumu.” Ushijima talked slowly and without raising his voice, which was funny considering his deep  and intimidating voice. “I’m not telling you to explain everything to him right now, but maybe start with something.” 

Sakusa stayed there watching the boy in silence for a couple of seconds. “How are you always right?”

“I wish I was, I sense I’m going to fuck up soon.” Ushijima said in a serious tone that made Sakusa chuckle.

“Why is that?” Sakusa asked with a little smile, he was more calm now. “It has to do with your mystery guy or it’s about your crush on Tendou-san?

“I told you this guy and I are not dating, the problem is that he is wearing my hoodie today, the same one he used in the photo, and I think people have made the connection.” 

“Oh, but you two are not dating, so who cares?” 

“I’m just scared this will become a mess.”

“All of this is already a mess.” Sakusa said tiredly. “Thank you, for all Wakatoshi.”

“Anything for you.” 

 

“Fuck.” Shirabu murmured. “I need to talk to him.”

Yahaba looked at his friend, he knew Shirabu wasn’t a bad person, but he knew that he made questionables choices. They were talking in the hall, Yahaba had been following Shirabu who had been walking trying to find Semi.

“Are you sure this is a good idea?” He asked.

“I need to apologise.” Shirabu insisted.

“Look I’m not trying to judge here, but you actually want to?”

Shirabu stopped walking to look at Yahaba with a raised eyebrow. 

“What do you mean? I was drunk.”

Yahaba took a deep breath, he wasn’t trying to fight his friend, but he didn’t know a way to put it in a nice way.

“You can't keep blame it on the alcohol, Shirabu, you have been really shitty with him like for a long time, and now you are apologizing? it sounds like you actually don’t feel it, but you don’t want to look like the bad guy.”

“And what do you know?” Shirabu shouted.

Yahaba sighed, he didn't know how he was going to apologize if he was already behaving like this.

“Semi-san had tried to be nice with you, and you had hurt him, in some moment he will explode, and you know what. I don’t want to be there when that happens.” Yahaba said, turned around to walk away. “Have fun getting out of this one.”

Yahaba kept walking without looking back, a part of himself reminding him that he also needed to apologise to Semi, but he would do it in another moment, if he had just seen the video he probably didn’t want to see them right now.

“Woah, that was something.” A voice said behind his back. “I thought you would throw him against a wall too.”

“I only do that to you.” Yahaba responded with a teasing smile.

Kyotani huffed, but Yahaba knew he was trying to hide his smile.

“Why are you two fighiting this time?” He asked.

“He wanted to go to apologize to Semi for being a little shit.” Yahaba said simply. “But he is still being a little shit.”

“He is always like that.” Kyotani murmured. “If you said something like that about me, I will kick your ass.”

“I can take you in a fight.”  Yahaba responded proud of himself.

After that incident when he slammed Kyotani to the wall he learned that the boy, even if he was intimidating, was not actually good at fighting. 

“Of course not.” 

“Yeah keep telling that to yourself.”

 

Shirabu walked into the class of third year, almost immediately his upperclassman looked at him, he didn’t walk into the classroom, instead he stood next to the door trying to see if Semi was in the classroom.

“What are you doing?” A voice asked.

Tendou was right next to him, he wasn’t looking at him with his usual smile, and his voice sounded colder than he remembered.

“I need to talk to Semi-san.” Shirabu said.

“I think you have said enough.” Tendou responded.

“I just want to apologize.” 

“I don’t think he wants to listen to it.” 

They looked at each other in silence, Shirabu wasn’t going to let Tendou win, but then he noticed someone was standing next to Tendou.

“It’s okay, I will listen to you.” Semi said. “But after that you will leave.”

It was weird, it reminded him of the Semi of last year, who always looked annoyed and angry. He didn’t look like the nice boy who enjoyed music more than everything else, but Shirabu knew it was all his fault.

“Thank you.” He murmured. He watched in silence as Tendou walked away, but he kept his eyes on them. “I’m really sorry, I was drunk, I don’t know why I said that.” 

Semi looked at him without saying anything, Shirabu didn’t understand why he responded.

“Is that all?” Semi asked, he didn’t look angry, and that was more terrifying. Shirabu only nodded. “Good, I accept your apologies, but I will ask you to not talk to me anymore.”

“Understandable.” Shirabu murmured. He didn’t know what he was expecting, he should have thought about the fact that maybe Semi wouldn’t want to talk anymore with him.

“And just for you to know.” Semi started talking, he looked away so he didn’t have to face him directly. “I didn’t need to see the video, I heard you at the party, I was next to the stairs.” 

“What?” Shirabu asked.

“I wanted to believe you said all of that just because you were drunk, but you keep your shitty attitude all this time, so I guess I was wrong about you.”

That didn’t make sense for Shirabu, why would he still act so nice if all this time he had known all the things he said about him. But then it hit him the other thing Semi had said, Shirabu had in fact been really mean to Semi all this time, especially this last week. 

Semi didn’t say goodbye, he just walked away in Tendou direction. Shirabu walked in the direction of his class, not knowing exactly what he was supposed to do, Yahaba was mad at him and Semi would not talk to him again. Maybe he was really a shitty person.

 

Suna was in the entrance gate, waiting for the twins to walk home together, like they always did, he was looking at his phone, he had a message from his partner, he had sent him a photo, he was going to post that tomorrow.

“Hey!” Atsumu said with a smile, running to get next to Suna.

Suna knew he was faking his smile, but didn't say anything, if he was putting in his mask it was because he didn’t want to talk about something, and Suna was not going to ask. But if he had to guess he would say it had to do with the video of him and Sakusa kissing, a video that he posted, but that didn't matter at the moment. 

“Where is your brother?” Suna asked.

“Ha, about that.” Atsumu said, looking away.

Suna followed Atsumu’s eyes, Osamu was walking in their direction, but he wasn’t alone, he was walking with Akaashi.

“Samu invited Kenji-kun on a date.” Atsumu said, they both watched how the two boys walked away with smiles on their faces. “And Kenji-kun said yes.”

“Oh.” Suna murmured, just because he didn't know what else to say. “Let’s go.”

He had to make something about that, and he had to do something quickly.

Chapter 27: Getting closer

Summary:

@I_know_your_secrets: And the continuation of the mystery, remember Ushijima’s mysterious person, we finally learn who it is :)

Chapter Text

Terushima was walking home, it have been a long day, he had read the text in the group chat apparently they were going to hang out in Ushijima’s house like they always did, he wanted to go, he had been ignoring his friends for a long time, since the pictures of him a Daishou were posted. Terushima loved his friends, but he knew they would ask for an explanation, one that he couldn’t give, that’s the reason he had been ignoring them.

He didn’t have many friends before them, only Yamaguchi, but now he was alone, since he asked him to leave him alone because he had things to do, Terushima hated walking home alone.

He thought that walking through the park would distract him, but he noticed that it had been a bad idea.

A girl was sitting on a park bench, her brown hair flowing in the wind, she was beautiful, it took him a moment to recognize the school uniform she was wearing, then he recognized. 

Yamaka Mika was watching him.

He could have kept walking, pretending that he didn’t see her, but she made a gentle gesture with his hand to ask him to get closer, and for some reason he obeyed. 

“Hello.” Terushima said.

He hadn’t felt this uncomfortable in a conversation since the last time he talked to Daishou.

“Hi.” Her voice was soft, he thought she would be angry, but she didn’t sound like it. “I wanted to talk and ask you about something.”

“Yeah, of course.” He said, not sure if he should sit next to her or not.

“Well, first I’m not mad at you.” Mika said, surprising him. “I knew it, I just didn’t want to say anything.”

“You knew?” Terushima asked.

“You two weren't that slick.” She laughed softly, maybe she was a little hurt, but she wasn’t angry, and Terushima took that as a green light, and sat down next to her. “I always knew he was into guys.”

“He told you?” 

“No.” Mika's smile was beautiful, like she wasn’t talking about his ex that cheated on her. “I don’t think he had ever said that to himself, but we all knew about the thing he had with Kuroo last year.”

“Why aren’t you mad?” He asked, he needed to know, her smile made him feel even more guilty somehow.

“Should I be?”

“Yes.” Terushima answered quickly.

“I mean, I was.” She confessed. “But we broke up so many times, we took time from each other, we didn’t have the healthiest relationship, and if he was with someone in that time we were apart it doesn’t matter.”

“But he cheated on you.” Terushima murmured, remembering the party, how he saw Daishou and Mika together. “I’m sure sometimes you two were together.”

“Maybe.” Mika said softly. “Well, after all that’s the reason we broke up, well that and another reason. I didn’t like him anymore, I like someone else.”

“Oh.” Was all that came out of his mouth.

“Yeah, I think she likes me too.”

Terushima fell silent, he didn’t know what he was supposed to say, or what he could do in that situation. He actually wanted the girl to be mad at him, but she was there smiling telling him of all people about her new crush on a girl, he didn’t get Mika.

“I’m not speaking to him.” Terushima suddenly said. 

“Can I ask why?”

“I told him not to talk to me unless he got his shit together.” He explained.

“I should have said that to him too.” The girl laughed softly. “I hope to get his shit together, then, I’m sure he likes you.”

“Nah, I was like a distraction.” 

He looked away, he didn’t want to hear that from the ex girlfriend of his crush, it felt weird.

“I enjoyed your company, Yuuji-kun.” Mika said standing up. “I hope this situation won’t be an issue between us.” 

“You are too good for this world, Mika.”

He smiled, he never thoght he would be getting closer to someone like Mika.

 

“I’m not walking home with you today.” He declared.

Kenma turned around to look at Kuroo, the older boy wasn’t even looking at him, Kenma didn’t know exactly what he did to make him this mad, he actually slept that night, he did his homework, he even ate all his lunch.

“Okay.” Kenma murmured. “Can I ask why?”

Kuroo was still not looking at him, his body looked tense, Kenma had known him for too long to know that he was annoyed, but the other time Kuroo had been angry at him he always looked at him, he didn’t know why Kuroo was looking away today. 

Unless he wasn’t angry

“I’m hanging out with Bo, Ushijima invited us to his house.” He said, his voice was rushed.

He wasn’t angry, he was sad.

“Have fun.” Kenma said, starting to walk in the opposite direction that Kuroo was going.

Kenma had learned that when Kuroo was sad waas better leaving him alone, if he had wanted to tell Kenma about his issues he would have done it, so he didn’t push the issue.

He took out his cellphone to notice that Akaashi had sent him a text, something that was weird, considering Akaashi had told him he was going out with Osamu, so he didn’t expect a text from him.

 

 Explain.

Akaashi 19:27 p.m

 

The weird text was accompanied by one of the secrets account, he had been tagged on it, that was the reason he didn’t see it in the first place, he didn’t want to know what it was, but he had a vague idea of what could be. The video started.

He saw himself there with Hinata, they were sitting on the couch, he remembered that moment, they were talking about Kageyama, he didn’t know what could be so bad that this was supposed to expose him, in the moment he turned up the volume he understood.

“I have a crush on you.”

They have taken his conversation out of context, without the rest of the video it looked like he was confessing to Shouyou. He sighed tiredly, now he will have to explain that to Hinata who was probably too drunk that night to remember the whole conversation, he sent a quick text to Akaashi saying that it’s out of context and and tomorrow would be better explained.

He was walking when he suddenly stopped himself. A weird thought appeared in his mind, he wanted to shake the thought away, but he couldn’t, because a part of himself wanted to believe that was the reason.

What if Kuroo was sad, because of this video, because he thought Kenma liked Hinata?

Kenma wanted to believe in that, but the rational part of his brain told him that the truth was that he had left him alone, to go with Bokuto.  Kenma kept walking with his eyes glued to his phone until he arrived at his home.

 

Kunimi was waiting for Kindaichi, it was already late, and they hadn't gone home yet, all because Kindaichi had forgotten to give back Yachi’s notes, he was standing there in silence. He checked his cell phone a couple of times, there was nothing he could do. 

The secrets page was the first thing he saw when he entered instagram, he could see it had a lot of likes, and a lot more followers than it did before.

“Sorry, we can go home now.” Kindaichi said, running to his side.

“Yachi was still here?” Kunimi asked starting walking, he was tired and wanted to go to his bed.

“Yeah, he was helping Kageyama with english.” 

Kunimi didn’t stop walking, he didn’t turn to see Kindaichi, but he knew the boy was watching him, probably waiting for a reaction.

“He was there?” 

“Kunimi, can we talk about this?” Kindaichi asked.

“There is nothing to talk about.” Kunimi responded, walking faster.

“Then stop hating him.” Kindaichi was right, and he knew it, but he didn’t want to admit it. “You know it’s in the past, all of that.”

“But he hurt you.” He murmured. 

Kindaichi stopped walking to sigh, Kunimi stopped walking too, they didn’t talk about that, they haven’t touched that topic in years, they both ignored what happened, but Kindaichi have had enough. 

“And I hurt him too.” Kindaichi said. “I’m not asking you to be his friend, but he feels just as bad as me in this situation.”

Kunimi didn’t respond this time, he didn't have the time, the notification in his phone made him turn away from Kindaichi, it was the secret account. 

@I_know_your_secrets has made a post

@I_know_your_secrets: And the continuation of the mystery, remember Ushijima’s mysterious person, we finally learn who it is :)

Kunimi watched in surprise the pictures that the profile had posted, it was from that same morning, Oikawa wearing the lilac hoodie with Ushijima’s name embroidered, it also has the photos that had been posted long ago, of Ushijima and that mysterious person, it was undeniable, it was the same hoodie.

“Woah, Oikawa-san?” Kindaichi said next to him, forgetting completely about their previous discussion. “I would have never guessed it.” 

Kunimi kept looking at the photo of Oikawa, because he had see him this morning, then it clicked, he saw the picture when they took it.

“Fuck.” He murmured.

“What's wrong?”

“I saw who took this picture.” Kunimi said a part of him wanted to be wrong, but then he remembered something he saw at the party. “I think I know who is behind the account.”

Chapter 28: Part of the truth

Summary:

"Suna be honest with me.”

“Okay?”

“Why did you start the secrets account?” It wasn't a did you do it?, it was a why did you do it?.

Chapter Text

Ushijima’s house was full of noise, thinking that normally would be weird, but considering he had invited his friends over that was normal, they had ordered food and now they were lying on the floor of the living room as they ate food and talked about each other's problems.

“He fucking likes chibi-can.” Kuroo said with his mouth full of pepperoni pizza. “Like what the fuck does he has that I don’t?”

“He is ginger.” Bokuto said, responding to the question his friend just made, clueless of the fact that didn’t help him.

“He's really cute.” Responded Oikawa with a half smile. 

“He is actually a nice person.” Daishou said, looking at Kuroo.

Kuroo turned his head to look at the boy, if he wasn't too comfortable on the floor next to the pizza box, he would have jumped on Daisho to hit him.

“And what are you doing here, snake?” Kuroo asked, narrowing his eyes.

“Don’t look at me like that, kitty, I was invited here too.” He said with a smirk.

“Can you not flirt with Kuroo when you already have Teru-chan?” Oikawa asked.

“Can we not talk about that?” Daishou complained

“Well, you still owe us an explanation.” Daichi said, taking another slide of pizza.

“If you want too, we’ll not force you.” Kita said, he and Ushijima were the only civilization there, they were eating on the table, instead of the floor.

“I don’t want to talk about it, honestly.” Daishou murmured. 

“Okay, then let’s talk about Mr. Refreshing.” Oikawa said, even if he just like everyone else wanted to know about the weir relationship between his two friends, they also knew that they couldn't force Daishou to talk. “You didn’t tell us you two were dating.”

They all turned his head to look at Daichi who looked extremely uncomfortable.

“To be honest I didn’t remember that, it was so weird watching that video.” Daichi murmured.  “I don’t know how all of that happened.”

“Well maybe the best thing to do is talk to him.” Ushijima said.

“Yeah, you should do that.” Kuroo agreed with a smile. “I’m sure if you two talk you would get together.”

“I don’t know it’s more complicated than that.”

“You said it is complicated, but it’s not impossible.” Bokuto said with a big smile, all of them keep looking at the boy for a couple of seconds, they sometimes forget he wasn’t dumb. “I wish luck!"

“Ugh can we talk about the drama of the videos? Like I would have never guessed that Atsumu-chan liked him.” Oikawa said with a big smile.

Kita laughed softly. “I am happy for him, but if they don’t talk about what happened I will kill him myself.”

“Woah, you are scarier than Daichi.” Kuroo murmured, but everyone else ignored him.

The sound of a notification interrupted their conversation, Oikawa didn’t even bother to look for his phone, he assumed it had been a text sent on the group chat or something like that, but then he noticed the way his friends were looking at him.

“What?” He asked.

Nobody responded, they looked at their phones a couple of times like they were trying to cheek what they were seeing.

“Someone took a picture of you in my hoodie.” Ushijima’s words were loud enough for everyone to hear it.

“Wait so it’s actually your hoodie?!”

“So the post is true?!”

“Wait, you two are together?”

“How long have you two hide this?” 

“Okay, shut up, you guys are giving me a headache.” Oikawa said, looking at his friends that looked at him confused. “It’s Ushiwaka’s hoodie, yes it’s me the guy from the picture, but we are not dating.”

“It was the angle of the picture.” Ushijima said. “We didn’t kiss.”

“So now shut the fuck up.”

 

“I really enjoy our night, Osamu.” 

Akaashi was walking slowly next to the boy, it was already really dark outside, but the night was beautiful,the two being illuminated by the lanterns as they walked. He would call that night romantic, but he couldn’t, he couldn’t see them that way.

“I’m glad, I love your company.” Osamu said without looking at him.

“I need to tell you something.” Akaashi said, he stopped walking to look directly at the boy, who looked at him a little confused. “I really like you Osamu, but as a friend, I’m in love with someone else.”

He waited for a response, some type of reaction, but he wasn’t expecting Osamu to smile at him.

“I know.” He said without erasing the smile in his face. “It’s Bokuto-san, isn’t it?”

Akaashi opened his eyes in surprise.

“Yeah I kinda figured that, don’t get me wrong, you are beautiful and totally my type, but I don’t think I like you.” Osamu turned his head to look at the sky.

“Oh, I’m sorry, I shouldn't have assumed anything.” Akaashi quickly said.

“Nah, don’t be, I was totally flirting with you.” He was still smiling a little. “I wanted to see if I could get over a crush I had.”

“I understand.” Akaashi said, so he was right, Osamu was in fact flirting with him, he could almost hear Kenma saying I told you so. “Is Suna-san?”

“How did you know?” Osamu asked. 

“Well, I have eyes.” Akaashi laughed softly. “And I have seen the way you two look at eachother when you think nobody is looking.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

“As a friend I said you should tell him.” 

“We are friends now?” Osamu said, raising one eyebrow, but with a clear smile on his face.  “And why don’t you confess to Bokuto, instead of giving free advice.”

“Because I saw him making out with his best friend.” Akaashi responded a little sad. “Somethings are just not meant to be.” 

 

Suna was in his room he was getting ready to  just lie in bed to check instagram until the wee hours of the morning, he was comfortable in his bed, with the door of his room closed, but then he noticed someone was calling him, he looked at the name of the contact for a couple of seconds before answering.

“Isn't it a little bit late to be calling?” Suna asked before the person at the end of the line could say something. “What happened?

“Why are you doing this?” The boy asked.

“Doing what?, I’m literally in my bed right now.” Suna asked.

“I told you not to do anything crazy.” The boy sounded so desperate, but Suna didn’t understand what he was saying. ”Suna be honest with me.”

“Okay?”

“Why did you start the secrets account?” It wasn't a did you do it? , it was a why did you do it?. 

“Komori, I don’t know what you are talking about.” Suna said getting up from his bed to sit on it.

“I saw you filming Matsukawa and Hanamaki.” Komori said. “And today the account posted that same video.”

Suna stayed in silence for a couple of seconds.

“I thought you would be drunk enough to not remember that.” He didn’t denied what Komori was saying, his words were enough confirmation

“Fuck. So it is really you.” Komori sounded a little more calm now that he had heard it. “I knew you were a dick, but woah.”

The words even if could  have hurt Suna it made him laugh, the way Komori talked, he didn't sound actually angry maybe surprised and a little annoyed, but not angry. Well Komori didn't have reasons to be angry he didn't post nothing serious of him.

“Did you tell anyone else?” Suna asked, even if he knew the boy didn’t have any actual proof.

“No, I’m not an idiot.” Komori quickly said. “I’m not going to tell anybody.”

“Thanks.” 

“But let me tell you this. If this gets out of hand, you are on your own.” Komori said. 

“I know.” 

“And I hope you have a way to repair all the damage you have made.”  Komori said, but Suna could tell he was smiling even if he wasn’t watching him.  “I have to like you a lot to forgive you this.”

“You are the best.” 

“Don’t get caught again!"

Komori said, Suna stayed in his bed watching the ceiling, he wondered what will happen when they all found out he is the one behind the account. 

Chapter 29: More revelations

Summary:

He was sure, this person was behind the account. 

Chapter Text

Hinata was walking to his classroom, as every morning he had arrived by bike, he didn’t have morning practice that day so he was heading straight to his classroom, when a hand dragged him to the males restroom, Hinata wondered why it was so easy for people to drag him to places.

He was about to ask what this person wanted, because he thought it had to be Kageyama, but it wasn’t him, this person was blond and had glasses on his face.

“I need to talk to you.” He said in a serious voice.

Hinata froze on the spot, he had been ignoring all he could Tsukishima and Yamaguchi, but now he was the boy right in front of him. He wanted to say sorry but he couldn’t open his mouth.

“You recorded the fight with Yamaguchi.” It was not a question, and Hinata didn’t know if he was supposed to respond. “Why?”

“I don’t remember it.” Hianat said quickly, he didn’t want to get killed in a bathroom with Tsukishima. “That wasn’t even my phone.” 

Tsukishima looked at him for a couple of seconds, like he was considering killing Hinata and hiding the body so no one could find him.

“What?” Tsukishima asked, and Hinata took that as an opportunity to explain himself.

“Look, all I remember is that I drank something that Bokuto had mixed, the next thing I remember is waking up in Kenma’s house.” Hinata spoke fast, as he feared the boy would not allow him to finish his explanation. “Then when I saw the video of myself recording the fight I checked my phone, but the video wasn’t there, and after seeing the video I don’t have that phone case. That was not my phone.”

“Whose phone is that, then?” 

“Ah?” Hinata didn’t believe Tsukishima hadn't killed him yet, and apparently had believed him. 

“Whose phone is the one you used to record it?” Tsukishima insisted. “That person was probably the one that posted the video.”

“Oh, I don’t know, I don’t even know how that phone came into my hands.” Hinata murmured. “So… are you not going to kill me?”

Tsukishima glared at him.

“No yet.” 

“I don’t get why you are so mad at me, if you are the one that had the fight.” Hinata didn’t realise he said that outloud.

“What?”

“I mean! eh,” Hinata doubted for a second, Tsukishima didn’t look angry, so he just sighed, hoping that in case Tsukihima actually killed him, Yachi would make him a nice funeral. “You can’t be mad at me, I’m not responsible for your fight with Yamaguchi, that’s between you two.”

“I don’t get why I’m so angry at this too.” Tsukishima sighed frustrated, running his hands through his hair.

“Well it's your first fight while dating, I get it’s hard.” 

Tsukishima stopped his hands in the middle of his hair, to look at Hinata like he had said the craziest thing he had ever heard.

“I’m sorry, I think I hallucinated for a second, what did you say?” 

“That, that was your first fight while dating, and I get it’s hard?” Hinata asked, confused. “What?”

“We are not dating.”

“You are not?!” Hinata asked. “All this time I thought you two didn’t want to make it public.”

“Since when?”

“I don’t know, since I know you, I think.” Hinata murmured, looking just as shocked as Tsukishima. “So you two are not dating.” 

“We are not.” Tsukishima confirmed.

“But you like him.” 

This time Tsukishima couldn't denied that, a part of him wanted to said he didn't like Yamaguchi, but the other part of him wasn’t so sure of that, it took him all this time to realised that the reason why the fight have affected him so much, was because he liked Yamaguchi. 

He liked Yamaguchi and he had fuck up with the fight.

 

Yachi was in her classroom in the mornings where it was so boring sometimes, she had finished all her homeworks, and she really didn’t have anything to do until the class started. 

“Good Morning.” Yamaguchi said next to her with a smile.

“Hi!” Yachi responded the same way. 

“Hey something super weird just happened.” The boy said, sitting down, next to Yachi.

“What, in your way here?”

“No, actually outside the classroom, a pretty girl asked about you.” Yamaguchi said it like it was not a big deal.

Yachi almost jumped out of her seat  and looked at her friend in shock.

“What?!” She almost scream.

“Yeah, I think she wanted to say something to you.”

“And w-what, why, who?!” Yachi was starting to panic just by the thought of a pretty girl wanting to talk to her. 

“I don’t know her, she looked older.” Yamaguchi responded, he was completely used to his friend's panic state especially when it was related to a girl. “Black hair, glasses, really beautiful.” 

“The goddess?!” Yachi asked, she fitted the description of the girl he had seen talking with Kageyama once, and that pretty girl that had follower on Instagram a time ago.

“You know her?” Yamaguchi asked this time with more interest.

“I mean yeah, she is so beautiful, her name is Kiyoko.” She felt her face glowing red.

“Oh so you have a crush on her.” 

“What?!” 

Yachi noticed that many of her classmates had turn around to look at her, she was talking too loud again. 

“It doesn’t matter, she is straight.” 

“You don’t know that.”  Yamaguchi insisted.

Yachi wanted to believe the girl was not straight, she didn’t think she was a lesbian, but she could like women anyway. But she had talked with Ennoshita, and he also believed she liked men, and she would probably end up with Tanaka, and she was okay with that. 

She noticed she had a message in her instagram, so she clicked, to her surprise it was from Kiyoko.

 

Hey! I’m Kiyoko. I know we haven’t talked, but we have many friends in common, and you look like a really nice girl, so I wanted to know if you would go to the park with me this afternoon?

  Kiyoko 08:12 a.m.

 

“She text me.” Yachi murmured.

“No way.” Yamaguchi said with a big smile.

“She invited me to the park.” Yachi smiled, raising her eyes to look at Yamaguchi.  

“Oh my god, that’s so cute!” 

And then another text came in.

 

Tanaka and Ennoshita are coming too, so if you want, we would love to have you there too :)

 Kiyoko 08:13 a.m.

 

“Oh.” yachi said out loud. 

“What? What happened?” The boy asked, noticing the girl stopped looking happy while reading the text, even her smile had faded away.

“I think she invited me to a double date.” 

“That’s good?”

“No, she with Tanaka, and me with Chikara-san.” Yachi murmured.

“Oh, you could say no, if you want to.” Yamaguchi said with a little smile.

“I know.” Yachi murmured. 

She wanted to believe she had a chance, but she had everything against it.

 

Kunimi was walking to the halls of the school, he wanted to find him, he needed to ask him if what he thought was true, because Kunimi had seen this person when he took the picture of Oikawa, and he also saw him at the party outside with Oikawa, so he had to record the video there. He was sure, this person was behind the account. 

Kunimi needed to talk to him, because he couldn't understand why this person would make that account, in the case he made it, but if he didn’t make it, this person was helping.

He was talking with his friends at that moment, Kunimi for a second thought about just turning around and forgetting he realised it. But he was already there, so he just sighed before coming closer to him.

Kunimi tapped the shoulder of the third year.

“Iwaizumi-san, can I ask you something?”

Chapter 30: The accomplice

Summary:

“I just want to know if you are just sending the photos for some reason or you are the one behind it.”

Chapter Text

Iwaizumi looked at Kunimi with a smile, they had know each other for a couple of years now, and even if the boy was two years younger, Hajime has always like his underclassman, he remembered when Kunimi, Kageyama and Kindaichi used to play in the same team years ago.

“Sure, Kunimi, what’s up?” Iwaizumi asked stopping his conversation with his other friends.

“It’s kinda private.” The boy murmured trying to look disinterested.

“Oh, bye guys, I see you in class.” He said waving at his friends to walk with Kunimi down the hall. “So, what happened?”

Kunimi didn’t respond, he was too busy looking around to make sure that nobody could hear them there.

“Iwaizumi-san, I have to be honest, I saw you taking the picture of Oikawa.” Kunimi tried his best to maintain his neutral and indifferent voice. 

Iwaizumi opened his eyes in surprise but just for a second, “What are you talking about?”

“I saw you taking the picture of Oikawa, the same one it was posted in the secrets account.” Kunimi insistided, not looking directly at Iwaizumi’s eyes, the eldest boy was too intimidating. “I just want to know if you are just sending the photos for some reason or you are the one behind it.”

Iwaizumi looked at him, Kunimi could feel like the eyes of the boy piercing his brain, even if Iwaizumi was shorter than him, Kunimi felt really small, but he tried to cover up with his indifference. 

“Kunimi I-” 

The words were interrupted by another voice, a voice the two boys recognized too well.

“Iwa-chan!” Oikawa said almost screaming while running to get to Iwaizumi's side, he was smiling like he always did. But he seemed to notice the tension in the air. “I’m interrupting something?”

“Yes.” Iwaizumi said.

“No.” Kunimi responded at the same time. Iwaizumi looked at him confused. “It’s nothing, Oikawa-san, I was actually leaving.” 

Kunimi did a little bow before walking down the hall from where he came from.

“What were you two talking about?” Oikawa asked. He had his arm around Iwaizumi’s shoulders, and even if every single part of him screamed to push the boy away, Iwaizumi didn't move, allowing the boy to hug him by the shoulder.

“Nothing important.” Iwaizumi responded. 

If Oikawa didn’t believe it that was nothing important he didn't say anything. Iwaizumi started thinking he really wanted to ask about the Ushijima situation, since the post of the hoodie had been posted yesterday, it would not be weird for him to ask now. But a part of him didn’t want to ask, because he is afraid of the answer.

He had been friends with Oikawa for too long, he didn’t want to lose him because of the feelings he had for him, but now maybe he had already lost him.

Iwaizumi sighed.

“Why didn’t you tell me about Ushijima.” Iwaizumi asked, hoping that his words didn’t sound so hurted. 

Oikawa groaned in exasperation, he also took his arm off Iwaizumi’s shoulder. Iwaizumi almost immediately missed the warm.

“Because there it’s nothing to tell, I just fucking steal his hoodie, and that fucking account blow it out of proportion.” Oikawa sounded so angry as he speak, all day had people ask him about it, he was tired.

“So you two are not dating?”

“No.” He looked at Iwaizumi’s eyes. “Iwa-chan you would be the first person I would tell if I was dating someone.” 

“Yeah, I think you are right.”  Iwaizumi murmured, not very convinced.

“I don’t think, I’m right!” Oikawa gave him one of his bright smile and for a second Iwaizumi forgot what it was to have his heart broken.

 

Atsumu was in his seat, he didn’t know where his brother or Suna where, he was by himself in the classroom, if he had to guess he would say Osamu where some where, and Suna just followed him. Atsumu doubted his brother had gone to find Kenji-kun, since what he told him last night, they have talked about their feelings, and neither Osamu or Kenji had feelings for the other.

That was good, he supposed, Atsumu knows that his brother and Suna will end up together, but he is getting tired of them just pining, he doesn’t want to keep waiting for them to make a move, when it’s pretty obvious none of them is brave enough to make the first move. Atsumu should be worrying about his own love life, not his twin’s. 

“Miya.”  A voice at his back said. 

A noise came out of his throat that was something between a wheeze and squawk, all because of the surprise, because there were only one person that called him by his family name. 

“Omi-kun?” He asked in a squeaky voice, he quickly cleared his throat. “I actually wanted to talk to you but I didn’t want to be too pushy.”

“I’m sorry.” Sakusa murmured to Atsumu’s surprise. 

“What? Why are you saying sorry, in any case it should be me apologising, for what happened in the party.”

“I’m apologizing for ignoring you the past month.” 

Sakusa Kiyoomi, was definitely an artwork, his black curls fell softly in his face, his eyes were as dark as the night, but they didn’t look cold, his eyes showed that he was in fact sorry, Atsumu also noticed that he wasn’t wearing his usual white quirurgical mask, the one that was using today was black, what made a contrast with his pale skin. He also noticed the taller boy was blushing a little.

“Can we not talk about the party?” Sakusa asked.

“Huh?” Atsumu asked, he didn’t actually understand the question, at his point of view they needed to talk about what happened there.

“It’s just that, I don’t want to talk about it, for now.” Kiyoomi explained trying to keep his patience to know to kill Atsumu right there. “Are we good?”

Atsumu stood there for a couple of seconds trying to process all what Sakusa had said, because a part of him couldn't even believe the boy had spoken to him in the first place.

“Eh, yeah, sure.” Atsumu said, smiling.

“Good.” 

Atsumu couldn't see Sakusa’s mouth but he bet all his money the boy was smiling at him.

 

“There you are.” A voice next to him said. “So early trying to ruin lifes?” 

“Very funny.” Suna murmured. “I’m looking for someone, so Komori, if you shut up, I would appreciate it.”

Komori laughed next to him, he knew he could have said Suna was the one behind the account, but that was no fun, and he had to admit since Suna made that account things have been more interesting. He was not helping Suna, at least not directly, he was someone that knew who was the owner but didn’t care.

“Who?” Komori asked.

“Shirabu.” Suna responded without looking at him, he had something in his hands, what looked like a crumpled sheet of paper. “Look at this.”

“What is this?”He looked at what was written in the paper.

“This is something that would help me with part two of my plan.” Suna said with a confident smile.

“Bitch, don’t say that like you had any plan to begin with.”

“Well now I have one.” Suna said looking at the boy.

“Can I ask you something?” The boy just raised his eyebrows in response. “How many people are helping you with the account?”

“One is helping, and another person sended me videos of the party, so courting you only 3, and the person that sended the videos doesn’t know I'm the one behind this shit.” Suna explained.

“Oh cool, I guess.” 

“Can you put this in Shirabu’s locker? I can’t find that little shit.” 

Komori just sighed. “Yeah, sure.” 

Suna smiled giving him the paper, to walk to another person at the end of the hall. Even that far away Komori could hear Suna talking.

“Hey Akaashi! do you have a minute?” 

Komori turned around, he didn’t want to be more involved in Suna’s weird plan. He keep walking in the direction of the lockers, not noticing someone was there with them, and had heard every word.

Chapter 31: Friendship is more important

Summary:

He looked up in fear, he couldn't believe someone has hear him and recorded it, not only that that person has posted that too.

Chapter Text

Kenma was sitting in the bathroom, he had been skipping classes, just because he was bored. He had been playing this new game he downloaded, it was a kids game but it was surprisingly addictive.  Someone walked into the bathroom and he looked up, a part of him wanted that person to be a random student, but the luck was never on his side, and for his bad luck, it was someone he knew very well.

“What are you doing here?” He asked.

“Playing.” Kenma responded trying to look down at his game again to ignore the boy.

Yaku looked at him for a couple of seconds before using the urinal, Kenma keep his eyes glued at his screen, they haven’t talk in a long time, they weren’t close to begin with, but they were always in the same group of friends, well they haven’t been together since Lev is ignoring Yaku. 

Kenma liked Lev, he would never say that out loud, but he did, and he worried about him as well, of course he knew that Yaku had asked the boy to leave him alone, and Lev has been sad ever since. 

“You know.” Kenma said without raising his voice. “You should talk to him.”

The boy was washing his hands in that moment, Kenma noticed how Yaku was watching him by the reflection of the mirror.

“No.” His answer was short and dry, not like Kenma was expecting another reaction.

“So are you really just going to ignore him until graduation?” Kenma asked again.

He really shouldn’t be saying all of this, Yaku’s relationship with Lev was none of his business. 

“So are you really never going to confess to Kuroo?” Yaku asked, turning around to look Kenma in the eyes. “What? Did you think we didn’t know?”

“I have never said anything about it.” Kenma responded, but he didn't deny it. 

“Well I noticed in the past three years.” Yaku responded, he was still a little defensive, but he wasn’t mean. “I don’t think  Kuroo has realised yet.”

“And that’s why I’m not telling him.”

“Then you can’t blame me for not wanting to talk to him.” 

“It's different.” Kenma quickly said.

“It's not.” Yaku responded, frowning.

“I could lose a ten years friendship, for my feelings are not mutual.” Kenma looked down, he didn’t know why he was saying all of this to Yaku, but if he was honest he didn’t know who else he could tell. “Lev likes you, and you like him too.” 

“I don’t.”

Kenma stood up, he walked to came closer to Yaku, he slowly leaned in the wall, he was still not looking at him in the eyes. 

“Don’t lie to me.” Kenma murmured. “I don’t know how someone could fall for Lev, but I know you did.”

“I graduate this year Kenma.” Yaku said after a couple of seconds of silence. “He is two years younger, and I don’t intend to stay here for university. It wouldn’t work, even if I like him.”

Kenma opened his eyes in surprise, he knew Yaku liked Lev, he could see it in the way they looked at eachother, but he didn’t know why Yaku was so insisting on the fact that he didn’t like the boy. He didn’t imagine that as the reason.

“Well, sometimes it is worth the risk.” Kenma murmured. “But maybe, you could just start with an apology.”

“I will think about it.” Yaku said. “What is the thing with Hinata-kun?”

“Oh it was out of context, I talked to him, we are fine.”

“Well maybe you should talk to Kuroo too.” 

And just like that Kenma was left alone in the bathroom again.

 

“Tobio-kun!” A voice in the hall said.

Kageyama turned around to see the boy walking in his direction, Miya Atsumu, they haven’t talked much, they still saw each other at volleyball practice, but they haven’t talked in private since that incident, the one that was filmed and posted on the secrets account.

“Atsumu-san.” Kageyama responded bowing a little, even if their relationship wasn’t the best, he was still respectful to him.

“I was looking for you.” He said with his usual smile. “I wanted to tell you something.”

“Okay?” 

They were standing in the middle of the hall full of people, which is really different from the last time they talked, well they didn’t talk exactly, they fought. 

“I’m not interested in Shouyou-kun.” Atsumu said.

“Ah?” Kageyama asked confused, why would he say that. 

“I know when we fight, that time I have you against the wall.” Atsumu explained that Kageyama didn’t know what fight he was talking about. “I told you that we should compete for Shouyou’s attention.”

“I remember that.” 

“So I just wanted to take that back.” Atsumu sounded like he was trying to apologise but like he didn’t want to say that. 

“Okay.” Kageyama murmured, still a little confused, on why this topic came out.

“So now you just have Kenma-kun as your competition for Shouyou-kun affection, I wish you luck.”

Kageyama froze, he had forgotten that, the video of Kenma saying to Hinata that he had a crush on him, he didn’t know how he could ever compete with Kenma, he was his best friend, the one that was always nice to him, the one person that always responded to Hinata’s text. Maybe Kageyama didn’t have a chance  after all.

“Well, goodbye Tobio-kun, see you at practice!” The bou said running in the direction of Sakusa to talk to him.

Kageyama stood there, watching the other boy walking away, he didn’t know exactly what were his intentions, but he couldn't deny that it made him feel better knowing that they had solved that problem.

“YamaYama-kun, are you good?” A voice next to him asked, almost making him jump.

“Dumbass!” Kageyama screamed, but his anger died when he saw the bright smile of Hinata. “What?”

“Are you okay?” Hinata asked away. “You were looking at nowhere, and standing in the middle of the hall.”

“Of course I’m okay.”

“Then let's go play!” Hinata said, taking Kageyama’s hand on his to run down the hall.

Kageyama wanted to push away the boy, because his touch burned, but he didn’t do it, he just followed Hinata, he rather kept his friendship, than lose his first true friend.

 

Kunimi was walking into his classroom, a little disappointed that he didn't receive an answer form Iwaizumi, but he was convinced that he had to be the one behind the account.

He was ready to ignore the problem until he noticed he had a new notification on his phone.

@I_know_your_secrets has made a post

It was a video, Kunimi was tagged on it, he was in an empty classroom, in the video was he and Kindaichi talking, he remembered that day suddenly. 

“I can’t believe we are in the same group as that King!” The Kunimi of the video screamed. 

“It’s not that bad, we have a lot of classes with Kageyama.” Kindaichi said not looking at him. 

“How can you be okay with this?” Kunimi asked again, he was annoyed that he had to do a group project with Kageyama, and go to his house, but he was angry at Kindaichi. “After all this time you still defend him!”

“Akira stop, I don’t understand why you are so mad.” Kindaichi said tired. “Me and Kageyama used to date, yes, but that’s in the past, I don’t get why you are so mad about it.”

Kunimi didn’t respond. 

Kindaichi sighed. “We are going to his house, we are doing this project, and then we move on. Why are you so mad?” 

Kindaichi left the room without saying anything else, not noticing the person that was still recording. Kunimi was not alone in the classroom.

“Because I’m in love with you.” Kunimi said frustrated, knowing that Kindaichi couldn't hear him, unaware of the person recording all of that. 

Kunimi looked up in fear, he couldn't believe someone had heard him and recorded it. Not only that person has posted that too, he had liked Kindaichi all this time, but he didn’t want to risk their friendship, but now it was all ruined. 

And Kunimi knew who to blame, he needed to find Iwaizumi.

 

Iwaizumi walked into the class of second year, receiving weird looks that he ignored.

“Suna, can I talk to you a little bit?” Iwaizumi asked, interrupting the conversation he was having with the Miya twins. 

“Yeah sure.” The boy responded without the intention of standing up.

“It’s kinda private, can we talk somewhere else?”

“Fine.” Suna said standing up.

The two boys walked into the stairs, they waited until no one was close enough to hear them to start talking. 

“Why did you post the video of Kunimi?”

“Because I could?” Suna was a little confused about why he was getting asked that.

“Kunimi asked me today if I was the one behind the account.” Iwaizumi said. “And now you posted a video of him.”

“Fuck that’s not good.” Suna murmured. He couldn't believe how many people were realising they were behind the account. “It’s fine, we can’t use this.”

“No, we can’t.” Iwaizumi said with a firm voice. “We can’t because I quit.”

“What? You can’t quit.” Suna said.

“I won’t tell anybody you are the creator, but I’m out.”

Iwaizumi started walking into his classroom, but Suna stopped him.

“If you quit I'm going to post that.” He threatened.

“Do it. I don’t care”

Suna stood in the stairs wondering if this really got out of his control already.

“Fuck.”

Chapter 32: Please be my boyfriend

Summary:

Sometimes love is complicated, it’s not easy for everybody.
It was easy for us, and I’m so lucky to have you.

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

“Do you remember?” Aran asked out of nowhere. 

Well maybe it wasn’t out of nowhere, Aran had been talking for a while, but Kita wasn’t listening, he had been reading this new book and he was to concentrate that he had ignored his boyfriend.

“I’m sorry, I wasn’t listening.” Kita said in the same neutral tone he always used.

Aran looked at him with a big smile.

“I know, that’s why I ask.” He laughed softly, before kissing the forehead of the boy. “It’s fine, I was just talking about the twins.”

“What about them?” Kita asked, lowering the book.

“That they are really dumb.” Aran said, looking exasperated, now it was Kita’s turn to laugh softly. 

Aran has known the twins for longer than Kita has, but you didn’t need many years to know them, they were a little handful most of the time, but they were not bad kids. And Kita enjoyed their company.

“I know, but why do you say that?” Kita asked, as he leaned against Aran.

The taller boy put his arms around his boyfriend. 

“They are a mess.” Aran said. “How are they not able to confess?”

“It took us three years to get together, be quiet.” 

“Yeah, but Samu and Suna have liked each other since ever, and Atsumu ever got to kiss Sakusa, I don’t know why they have to make everything too complicated.”

“Sometimes love is complicated, it’s not easy for everybody.” Kita said looking at his boyfriend with a smile. “It was easy for us, and I’m so lucky to have you.”

Aran kissed him right there, with a smile still in his lips. 

“Have I told you I love you?” Aran asked.

“You should say it more.”

 

“Come with me after class.” Suga said without raising his voice.

They were in the middle of history class, Suga had not very softly slapped Asahi’s arm to get his attention. The taller man had looked at him with a mix of pure confusion and annoyance, he was a little offended that Suga had higt him while he was just taking notes and paying attention to class.

“Where?” Asahi asked slowly, he didn’t want to get detention because Suga decided to talk in the middle of class.

“Just trust me.” Suga said with his smile, and if Asahi didn’t know better he would have thought that was a nice smile, but Asahi knew better, he knew that was the smile he used when he wanted something.

“I don’t trust you, that’s the thing.” Suga laughed softly.

“Well, you should, at least for today.”The boy said, going back to his notes.

Asahi tried to pay attention to the rest of the class, but he couldn't, he was now anxious of what Suga had planned, and not only that, he was worried about Noya. He had the feeling that the boy had been ignoring him for at least the past few days, he has turned down their regular movie dates, it’s not like Asahi has the right to say anything really, but he worries a lot.

Noya had confessed, he never demanded an answer, he invited Asahi on dates, always saying that he could say no and he would stop, Nishinoya has been really patient and kind with him. But a voice in his mind was always telling him that the boy would get tired of him, and Asahi thinks that’s what happening right now. Noya got tired of waiting for Asahi.

Asahi liked Nishinoya too, he has always had, the boy was one of the most important people of his life, but he couldn't say it, he was scared, after all Noya has always been the brave one between them. But maybe now it was already too late.

The class ended quickly that he would have wanted. A part of him wanted to just go home instead of following Suga wherever he wanted to go, but in the moment he standed up from his seat Suga had already taken his arm.

“I’m not going to escape, Suga.” Asahi said, but the boy didn’t let him go.

“You were going to, don’t lie.” Suga said with his usual smile.

He never understood why people said Noya was a gremlin when Suga literally exists. 

“Okay, so where are we going?” 

“Oh just to the entrance.” Suga said like it was nothing. “I’m just escorting you”

“And why exactly?”

“You would see.”

They keep walking through the school to arrive to the entrance, when he noticed that a lot of people were there too, a little crowd to see something, Suga started walking through the people, pushing them to get to the center, dragging Asahi with him, who apologised to the people Suga pushed away.

Asahi saw someone in the middle of the people with flowers, behind him a big sign that in big letters said: Please be my boyfriend. Asahi thought that was a cute gesture, he started wondering if Suga had dragged him there to see this, until he noticed the person holding the flowers was Nishinoya.

“Asahi-san!” The boy screamed, making everyone else fall silent. “I like you, and I know I said that a lot, but I wanted to do it right this time!”

Asahi thought everything was going too fast and too slow in his brain, a part of him didn’t believe what was happening at all. 

“So please if you accept my feelings I would also ask you to be my boyfriend!” Noya said loud, his face was determined, but Asahi knew he was nervous, terrified even.

He didn't know how long did he stay in silence, but it was long enough to Suga elbow him.

“Noya.” He cleared his throat before speaking. “Why have you been ignoring me then?”

“Because I wanted to plan something special for you!” 

Asahi felt that he couldn't control his smile, he was smiling to the point it hurted his cheeks, but he was so happy that he could die right there, all this time he worried if Noya didn’t like him anymore, while the boy was planning to ask him in a more formal way. He always knew Noya would want to make something big, it was really his style. 

“Yes, I would want to be your boyfriend.” The words came out of his throat a little shaky, but he was happy.

Noya jumped into him, as a reflex Asahi caught him, Noya was laughing hugging him like a koala, when he heard the people around them clapping and cheering he remembered they were out in public. Noya still had the flower in one hand, but with the other he took Asahi’s face.

“I also like you a lot Noya.” Asahi said, knowing that maybe he should have said that sooner, but the moment was perfect right there.

“I know.” Noya smiled brighter than the sun, and in front to everyone there, with Noya hugging him, he couldn't be more happy. 

And right there, he kissed him.

Asahi always dreamed about kissing Noya, he never knew he would do it someday, Nishinoya that explosive kid that confessed to him weeks ago out of nowhere without expecting something in return, the same boy that was now his boyfriend. 

 

Yachi was in the park, after much consideration and insistence from Yamaguchi’s part she decided to go, she waited to talk to Ennoshita more than everyone else, she and Tanaka didn’t talk to much, usually just when he is in the park with her roller skates, but she didn’t know she would ever talk to Kiyoko directly, she was so perfect and beautiful.

Ennoshita had text her, saying that he and Tanaka would be a little late, because they were helping Nishinoya with something, so that meant she would be alone with Kiyoko. She forgets how to speak when she sees cute girls, how is she supposed to have a conversation with her?

She took out her phone to text Yamaguchi in panic when she heard someone next to her.

“Yachi I’m sorry to make you wait.” The girl said with her sweet voice.

“It’s not a problem!” Yachi almost screams jumping a little.

Kiyoko was the most beautiful woman she had ever seen, the way her hair flowed in the air, her beautiful body, her face that looked like she could be an angel that had fallen from heaven. She was still using the school uniform, for some reason it looked way better on her than it did in Yachi, Kiyoko had also two cups that looked like coffee in her hand.

“It’s a little cold today, so I thought of buying something for you too.” Kiyoko explained softly, sitting on the same bench Yachi was sitting. “I didn’t know your coffee order, so I ordered a hot chocolate for you.”

“Thank you! I love chocolate.” Yachi said smiling, even if she could feel her cheeks glowing red. 

Kiyoko could have handed her black coffee without any sugar and she would have drinked, because she couldn't believe the girl had thought of her, and brought her something. 

“Please marry me.” Yachi murmured without realising. 

Kiyoko laughed softly. “You are a sweet girl, Yachi.” 

Yachi was ready to die in that precise moment, she said that outloud, Yamaguchi was right, she is an useless lesbian.  She kept drinking the hot chocolate, it was delicious, she could smell a slight orange scent, Yachi wondered if Kiyoko would smell like that sweet scent too. 

“I will text the boys to tell them we are already here.” Kiyoko said, taking out her phone.

Yachi was suddenly hit with the fact that Kiyoko was probably straight.

“Oh yeah, I wondered what they are doing.” Yachi murmured. 

“Yachi, I know we don’t know each other very well, and I would love to know you better, but I have to ask you something.” Kiyoko said.

“Anything for you.” Yachi responded, maybe a little too quick.

“I want to help Tanaka to confess to Ennoshita.” 

“I’m sorry what?” 

Yachi was too convinced she was straight, Ennoshita was too, he said that Kiyoko and Tanaka would maybe marry someday. But the girl was right in front of her, asking to help Tanaka and Ennoshita get together.

“I know everyone says Tanaka is in love with me, but I don’t think he is anymore.” She said. “I have seen the way he looks at Ennoshita, and the way he looks at Tanaka as well, I want to help him to realise their feelings for eachother.”

“I think Chikara-san knows his feelings, but I am not so sure about Tanaka-san.”

“You will see.” Kiyoko smiled, like she knew her thoughts were actually a fact. 

Yachi noticed Tanaka and Ennoshita walking in their direction, they looked extremely happy, Tanaka was only wearing his school shirt and Yachi wondered how he was not dying of hypothermia.

“Asahi said yes!” Tanaka screamed happily.

“I knew he would.” Kiyoko nodded with a smile on her face. 

“Nishinoya asked Asahi to be his boyfriend.” Ennoshita explained to Yachi, when he noticed her confused expression. 

“Oh, good for them!” Yachi said drinking the rest of her chocolate.

“It’s so cold here.” Tanaka said, looking at Kiyoko. 

Kiyoko just kept drinking her coffee, while Ennoshita sighed tired. 

“I told you that you would forget.” Ennoshita said annoyed, while he quickly took out his own jacket to throw it in Tanaka’s direction.

“Chika.” Tanaka murmured a little surprise.

“Shut up and use it.” 

Yachi turned around to look at Kiyoko, the girl was looking back at her with a smile. She wanted to help Ennoshita get together with Tanaka, and if in the process she gets closer with Kiyoko even better for her.

Chapter 33: Mistake

Summary:

“Did Hinata use your phone to record at the party?"

Chapter Text

Oikawa was lying on the sofa of his own living room, tired, since that time when the secrets account had posted about him being the same person in the photo of Ushijima he hadn’t have the time to talk with Iwaizumi and explain the whole situation to him, since the boy just left and for some reason had been ignoring him ever since.

He was tired, Oikawa was sure that when he knows who is the person behind the account, he will make sure to make their life a living hell. 

“Open the door you slut!” A familiar voice screamed at the other side of the principal door of his house.

“Can’t you knock like a normal person?” Oikawa shouted in response as he standed up to walk to the door. 

He heard a couple of loud knocks on the door which were accompanied by his loud laugh. He was glad he was home alone, he didn’t want his father hearing all of this. Oikawa opened the door.

“Good morning sunshine.” 

“It’s four in the afternoon, Makki.” Oikawa said, walking back to the sofa.

Hanamaki had been in that house plenty of times, he knew where everything was, so after taking his shoes off he followed Oikawa into the sofa.

“What are you doing here?” Oikawa asked, not even bothering to look at his friend.

“I brought you food.” Makki said with a smile.

“Makki, what happened?” Oikawa didn’t need to be a genius to notice something was off.

He was extremely good at reading people, and he had know Hanamaki for a couple of years, so Oikawa could see that something was wrong, not only he looked like he had rushed there, he looked like he didn’t sleep last night, also Makki was sitting in the couch like a normal person instead of a weird position, so whatever that was worrying him was serious. 

“Nothing, can’t I just visit my best friend?” The boy asked.

“First, we both know I’m not your best friend.” Oikawa said in a teasing tone, making Makki smile, but then Oikawa noticed. “Oh, this is about Mattsun, isn’t it?”

Hanamaki didn’t respond at first, which give Oikawa his answer, he had been so deep in his own problem with Iwaizumi, that he hadn’t realised that Makki and Mattsun weren’t officially dating or anything.

“I just don’t get it.” Hanamaki said frustrated.

“What?”

“Him!” Oikawa didn’t move when he saw how Makki standed up to walk in a straight line a couple of times exasperated. “I don’t know where the fuck is the line?”

“What line?” He asked. “I can’t help you if I don’t understand.”

“I don’t know if,” Makki started, a little unsure of what to say actually. “everything he said it’s a joke. I don’t know where the line is between the things he said as a joke, and the things he says seriously.”

“Well Makki, you can’t always ask.” 

“As if you talk about your feelings with Iwaizumi.” 

“Rude.” Oikawa sighed. “Didn’t you two like almost fuck in the bathroom? Doesn’t that mean something?”

“We were drunk, and we always make out while we are drunk at parties.”

Oikawa looked at his friend, he had never seen him like this before, usually Hanamaki is really laid back and chill, he had never seen him this worried about anything like this in the past.

“Okay, so if I get what you are saying.” Oikawa started. “You like Mattsun, but you don’t know if he likes you too or he is just joking”

Hanamaki stopped walking to look at him directly at the eyes. Makki could never quite know what exactly was, but Oikawa’s eyes had always made him afraid, not because there were something wrong with them, at the contrary the boy had nice brown eyes, but Makki always felt like those eyes were actually demon eyes, and that Oikawa could actually see through him.

“Yeah, kinda.”

“Well, it’s easier to ask him, not me.” Oikawa said with a little smile. “But I think, if this was just a joke for Mattsun, he would have stopped by now, I think he's actually interested in you, and he probably thinks, you are the one that 's joking.”

“What?”

“I mean, you two are idiots, but you are kinda made for eachother.” 

Makki sat down on the sofa again, more relaxed this time.

“Huh, who would know that you are actually quite good at this thing.” Makki joked.

“I can help you with your love life, while mine it’s a fucking mess.” Oikawa said with a smile.

“You want help there?”

“Nah, I just need to talk with Iwa-chan, tell him that I’m not dating Ushiwaka.”

“And tell him you are in love with him.” Makki said.

“I’m not saying that shit.”

“I think you should,”Makki said with a genuine smile.  “well let’s eat.”

 

“Can you change the song?” Semi asked

He was laying on the floor of his own room as Tendou had taken over his bed. He had been reading the latest update of his favorite manga, which came out today. Tendou was near Semi’s house and he needed a place where he was able to scream when something interesting happened, that’s how he ended up in Semi’s room. 

“This is your playlist.” Tendou responded confused, but obeyed anyway, changing the song.

“Ugh, change that one too.” Semi responded.

In fact it was his music, it was playing in the speaker he had in his desk, Tendou looked at him with a curious look.

“Something happening with the music today? Semi-Semi?”

“It’s just.” Semu said a little shame. “It reminds me of him.”

Tendou looked at him for a couple of seconds before laughing, he still changed the song anyway.

“Wow, you need to get over that brat.” 

“I know, I’m pathetic.” Semi said frustrated with himself.

“Well you said that.” Tendou laughed. 

“It’s not like you don’t have a song that reminds you of Ushijima.” 

Semi was looking at his own guitar as they spoke. There were so many songs that reminded him of Shirabu, so many songs that he couldn't listen to, they weren’t even love songs, just songs. He sighed, he really was pathetic.

“Well, it doesn’t matter, he is with that pretty boy.” Tendou said sounded less happy than before.

“You want to vent?”

“Please?” 

Semi stood up to sit next to Tendou in the bed, they have been friends for a long time, even when Semi didn’t get along with Ushijima Tendou always have been there. 

“How did he choose Oikawa Tooru? He hated him, Oikawa has hated him since they met in middle school. I mean yeah, they usually hang out because they have the same group of friends, but how did they get together? Why didn’t he tell me?”  Tendou said looking at the ceiling.

Semi didn’t interrupt him.

“What does he have that I don’t? It’s because he is pretty and comes from a rich family too? It’s that he enjoy volleyball at a serius level like Wakatoshi? It’s because he is not a monster like me?”

The last part he almost whispered, like it was more a thought that it was part of the conversation, Semi turned his head to look at his friend, he quickly grabbed his hand.

“Don’t say that.” Semi said slowly. “You are an amazing person Satori.” 

Tendou looked at him with his eyes open out of shock.

“Are we about to kiss right now?” Tendou asked with a teasing smile.

“I fucking hate you.” Semi responded smiling, he stood up out of the bed, to walk to the door. “I’m going to grab something to eat.”

He understood that Tendou didn’t want to keep talking, and he respected his friend, he wasn’t going to force him to talk if he didn’t want to. 

“Okay.” The redhead responded without moving from the bed, like he owned that room. “Thank you.”

“Don’t mention it”

 

Bokuto was walking in circles in his room, he had received a single text from Akaashi and now he was panicking. He had his phone in his ear trying to get his friend to pick up the phone.

“Oya?” The voice at the end of the line asked.

“Fuck Kuroo, Akaashi is coming to my house.” Bokuto said, the desperation visible in his voice.

“Shit, nice, go for it tiger!” Kuroo laughed, not understanding why his friend sounded so worried.

“No, you don’t get it, he texts me: ‘I’m going to your house.’ Kuroo he even put a period there!” Bokuto said, desperate.

“Yeah you are right, I don’t get it, I don’t see the issue.” 

“What if he comes here to reject me!?” Bokuto asked.

“Bo,” Kuroo sighed. “you haven’t confessed yet, so he can’t reject you, stop worrying so much, what if he is going there to confess, but maybe he is just going to hang out with you.”

“You are a genius Kuroo!” Bokuto said with a smile, he hadn’t thought of another reason why Akaashi would want to go to his house. “Hey have you talked with Kenma?”

“Yeah, he was telling me about this game-”

“You know what I meant about the video.” Bokuto interrupted him. “You need to talk.”

“It’s complicated.” Kuroo murmured.

“No it’s not, you just open your mouth and-” He was interrupted by the sound of the doorbell. “We’ll talk about this later.”

“Say hi to Akaashi for me.” Kuroo said before Bokuto finished the call.

Bokuto almost ran to the door, when he opened it Akaashi was there, looking beautiful like always, he was using a dark colored shirt, Bokuto for a second wondered if his shirt was stained with food, he didn’t want to look bad in front of Akaashi.

“Bokuto-san.” Akaashi siad, visible relaxing.

“Hey Akaashi.” Bokuto responded with a smile.

“Can I come in?”

“Of course!” Bokuto moved out of the way to let Akaashi in, he took off his shoes to then follow Bokuto into the house. “You want something to drink?”

“I’m fine, thank you.”

“So what brought you here?” Bokuto asked as they walked into his room. “It’s not like I don’t want you here! It’s just that your text took me by surprise.”

“I wanted to talk to someone, and you were the first person I thought of.” Akaashi said, the sincerity was notorious in his words, but also he sounded a little preoccupied. 

“Oh, you can tell me everything.”

“What if, hypothetically speaking, someone did something that sounded like a good idea at the start, but ended up being a mistake?” Akaashi asked slowly, being careful with his words. 

People said all the time that Bokuto wasn’t the brightest person, but he wasn’t dumb either.

“And what would that mistake be?” Bokuto asked a little worried, especially after seeing the expression on Akaashi’s face. “Akaashi, what’s wrong?”

“What if this person found a couple of videos on their phone that were not recorded by them, and this person sent these videos to someone else, trying to prove a theory, and this person posted them online?” Akaashi's voice was so soft, like he didn’t actually say all of this out loud.

“Akaashi?”

“What if now the owner of the account has proof to say that this person was the one that sent the video?” Akaashi asked again, more desperate this time, Bokuto was starting to believe maybe he was beginning to have a panic attack.  “What if all of this was just a big mistake?”

Bokuto wanted to ask more, ask him to be more clear, but also wanted to shut him up, because Bokuto didn’t like to see him like that, but then something clicked in his head. Bokuto could almost see a lightbulb on top of his head.

“Did Hinata use your phone to record at the party?” Bokuto asked. 

Akaashi looked at him like he wanted to say something but keep his mouth shut.

“Akaashi,” Bokuto said looking directly at the eyes of the boy. “Did you send the videos to the secrets account?” 

Bokuto was expecting the boy to keep being silent, he really was confused, he didn’t know which videos Hinata had recorded, he didn’t know long long Akaashi had known these videos were in his phone. Bokuto was afraid to ask if Hinata was the one that recorded the video of him and Kuroo, he also wondered if that meaned that the person that owned the account knew about Akaashi, or if Akaashi knew who the owner was.

“Yes, I sent them.” Akaashi confirmed in a whisper.

Chapter 34: Asking for forgiveness

Summary:

"I'm sorr-" Iwaizumi tried to said.

"No." His voice broke a little, but he didn't care. "You are not."

Chapter Text

Yamaguchi in his room, it was too early to leave his house yet, he still had time to go to school, so after he put on his uniform he went downstairs to eat some breakfast. Something simple, after all he was in his house alone, a part of him wanted to stay there in bed and skip classes, after all it was going to be a long day and Yamaguchi would rather just sleep for a couple of hours more.

But he couldn't do that, so he took his things and put his shoes on to open the principal door to get out, to his surprise someone else was already there, somebody was standing in his door like he was just about to knock.

“Hey.” He said in a low voice.

“Tsuk- Tsukishima?” Yamaguchi asked, the boy looked a little hurt hearing his full name instead of the nickname that he had for him. “What are you doing here?”

“I thought it would be a good idea to go to school together.” Tsukishima said not even looking Yamaguchi in the eye, he was looking at some point over Yamaguchi’s shoulder. 

“We haven’t walked to school together all year, why now?”

Yamaguchi was sure of that, they walked together to home, but they haven’t walk just the two of them alone since the fight, a couple of time after the that they walked home together with the others first years, they usually ignored what happened between them when Hinata, Kageyama and Yachi were there, but after the post of the fight they haven’t talk at all. 

After the post it was impossible to keep ignoring what happened.

Tsukishima didn’t respond, but Yamaguchi didn’t demand more answers, he just got out of his house to lock the door behind him, the blond looked at him with curiosity, they stayed in silence for a couple of seconds, before Yamaguchi sighed.

“Okay, let’s go.”

Tsukishima seemed a little surprised but didn’t say anything to contradict the boy. It was the first time after years of friendship that they walked in an awkward silence, a lot of times they ended up walking home in silence, but it was never this uncomfortable.

“I talked with Hinata.” Tsukishima said, trying to break the uncomfortable silence that was between them.

“Oh, really?” Yamaguchi asked, his voice didn’t show interest in what the boy was saying.

“Yeah,” Tsukishima continued. “he said he didn’t remember filming the video, and it was not his phone, so he didn’t post it.”

Yamaguchi looked at the boy for a couple of seconds, Tsukishima sounded disinterested, but he could tell how deeply worried he was of Yamaguchi's reaction, and that was the reason why he kept his face from showing what he really was thinking.

“I know.” Yamaguchi responded. “Yachi told me, she was worried I would be mad at Hinata.” 

“Are you?” 

Yamaguchi stopped walking to look at Tsukishima, he looked tired, he knew that his brother was at home that week, so that was part of the reason why the boy looked like that. 

“Are you mad?” Tsukishima asked again when he noticed that Yamaguchi was just looking at him.

“No.” 

The answer was simple, just two letters but he noticed how Tsukishima visibly relaxed in that moment. 

“I’m sorry.” Tsukishima said softly.

Yamaguchi opened his eyes in surprise, Tsukishima didn’t apologise like that, he sounded so desperate for forgiveness.

“For what exactly?” Tadashi asked.

“For everything I said at the party, that you were pathetic, that you depended on me, I didn’t mean it.” 

“I did.” Yamaguchi said, taking Tsukishima by surprise. “I meant what I said.”

Tsukishima looked at his best friend, at the boy he had know by years now, he didn’t realize he wasn’t the same boy he met in the park all this years ago, the boy in front of him wasn’t the one that cried in front of the mirror because of his freckles anymore. The person in front of him was Yamaguchi Tadashi, the person that screamed to his face that he was tired of him.

“I understand.” 

“I have been by your side for years, and you are kind of a dick.” Yamaguchi said. “But I know you are not a bad person, and you are my best friend, but what I said was what I feel. The only thing I am sorry for is that I screamed that in front of a lot of people instead of telling you that something that you did made me uncomfortable.”

“Oh.” Tsukishima seemed a little confused with all that he was saying, he really thought that Yamaguchi would hate him forever.

“I accept your apology, if you accept mine.” Yamaguchi said. “I want to be your friend again, I think we just need to work on our communication, so we never have that type of fight again.”

“You are really cool.” Tsukishima murmured out loud, he could never say all the things that Yamaguchi had said, he wasn’t good with words, but Yamaguchi was. 

“I missed you, Tsukki.”

Yamaguchi’s smile was so bright, he pushed the thought of Hinata’s words at the back of his mind, he couldn't think of his crush in Yamaguchi, they were friends again and that was enough for him.

 

“Good morning.” Suga said with a smile putting his arms around the boy sitting in the chair. “How it’s your relationship going? Don’t let love change you!”

“Suga, oh god, stop doing this!” Asahi said, feeling his cheeks glow red. “You ask me about Noya everytime you see me.”

“It’s funny making fun of you.” Suga laughed.

Even if he was always making fun of Asahi they were friends, and he was so happy with the new relationship of the boy, Noya was a little, too much sometimes, chaotic, but he was a good boy, and he made Asahi happy, what else could he ask?

“Well, Noya wants a double date, and he kinda wants me to invite you.” Asahi said.

Suga sat down in his chair next to the boy, he was smiling, but the confusion was clear on his face, with one of his eyebrows raised.

“Me and who? I’m not dating anyone.” Suga said.

“You and Daichi?” Asahi said, confused. “You know, the video.”

“Oh fuck that.” Suga said annoyed. “I was drunk, and Oikawa challenged me to do that, so we are not dating.” 

“Oh.” A voice at his back said.

Suga felt the color abandon his face, he froze in the spot, he recognized that voice even in his dreams, it was Daichi. They haven’t talked about it yet, so Suga hasn't had the time to explain himself yet.

“That was the reason?” Daichi asked with a little smile, sitting in his seat.

“Yeah, I should have explained myself sooner, sorry.” Suga said with a smile.

He wanted to scream and kill Oikawa to even convince him to do that, the truth was that Oikawa didn’t force him to do that, and was actually Daichi the one that kissed him, but Suga wanted to blame someone, and Tooru was always the best to blame.

“It’s fine, I was too drunk too, I’m sorry if I made you uncomfortable.”

“I’m fine, I’m glad we resolved this.” Suga said.

Asahi was between them, he didn’t need to be a genius to notice the tension that was slowly building between both of them.

“So.” Asahi murmured. “No double date?”

They both hit Asahi in the arm in perfect synchrony.

“Tell Noya to get Tanaka a boyfriend if he wants so bad a double date.” Suga said joking.

They all knew they were not talking about the obvious, they were not talking about the clear feeling they had for each other.

 

Oikawa was walking down the hall, he was going to follow the same advice he gave to Hanamaki that weekend, communication, he was going to explain all to Iwaizumi, because after all he felt guilty all this time lying to his best friend. He was going to tell Iwaizumi how he started going to a cafe every week with Ushijima to bond over their broken families, because even if it hurted Oikawa to admit they had a lot in common.

He was going to ignore the thing Makki said he should do, he was not going to confess to Iwaizumi, he was just going to say that the video of him talking about how he was helpless in love with someone he was not talking about Ushijima. He is going to say that he didn’t know what his drunk self was talking about, yes that was his plan.

“Good morning Iwa-chan!” Oikawa said with a big smile.

“Hey.” Iwaizumi responded.

Even if it was the first hour of the morning Iwaizumi sounded really tired, he had been behaving weird the past couple of days too. Even if Oikawa was extremely good at reading people he didn’t know what was going to Iwaizumi’s head.

“You know, I talked to Makki this weekend.” Oikawa started, he tried to ignore the annoyed look on Iwaizumi's face.

“That’s not new.”

“Let me finish!” Iwaizumi sighed annoyed but didn’t say anything. “He and Mattsun are both idiots, they like eachother but think the other is only playing.”

“So they are not dating?” He asked, trying to sound interested in the conversation. “Didn’t they fuck in the bathroom?”

“It’s a thing they do at parties, or that’s what Makki told me.” Oikawa looked around and no one was paying attention to them, it’s now or never. “Talking about the party…”

“No.” Iwaizumi interrupted him.

“You don’t even know what I’m going to say.”

“It’s probably something stupid.”

“You are so rude!” Oikawa said, he was still talking in his usual playful tone, he didn’t want to tell him with all the seriousness of the world, because then Iwaizumi would notice something was off. “Well, as I was saying before I was ruthlessly interrupted, in the party I drank too much, and I ended up talking nonsense, like about someone that I love. Isn’t it stupid?”

Iwaizumi’s face didn’t show any reaction and Oikawa didn’t know how to take that.

“It’s stupid.” Oikawa answered his own question. “Since I’m not dating anyone.”

“You are not?” Iwaizumi asked, for some reason his tone was extremely sharp, Oikawa didn’t know why he was defensive all the sudden. “Don’t lie Shittykawa.”

“I’m not lying! I’m not dating Ushiwaka if that's what you are implying.” Oikawa said he was starting to get angry, just by the fact that Iwaizumi was angry at him. 

“You are not?” He asked like he was hearing a bad joke. 

“No.” He said as firmly as he could. “I wanted to tell you so you don’t think I have been lying to you all this time, Iwa-chan I’m not dating him.”

For some reason he looked more hurted with the explanation, what Oikawa didn’t know was that he was feeling guilty, because he had been lying to him.

“I heard you Oikawa, don’t lie to me.” Iwaizumi said, his voice was beginning to become louder, and people were starting to look at them.

“When?” Oikawa asked. “In that three second video that I don’t remember who I’m even talking about? The video where I don’t say absolutely nothing.”

“I heard you because I was there!” Iwaizumi snapped.

Oikawa wasn’t dumb, he understod, but he didn’t want to admit that he did.

“No you were not.” Oikawa said, raising his voice without noticing.

“I was!” Oikawa wanted to think Iwaizumi looked angry and hurt, but he knew the boy looked regretful. “I was there because I recorded you Oikawa!”

His words were like cold water, all the anger that have been burning stronger in him now suddenly felt like ice in his veins.

“No, you didn’t.” Oikawa insisted, even if a part of him believed him.

“Oikawa.”

“No!” Oikawa yelled. “You didn’t record that, the person behind the account did.”

"I'm sorr-" Iwaizumi tried to said.

"No." His voice broke a little, but he didn't care. "You are not."

Iwaizumi didn’t respond this time, he just kept looking at Oikawa. A part of him was suspecting that, because he didn’t want to believe that Iwaizumi could do something like that, that he would do something like this to him. But when the words left his own mouth the truth was undeniable.

Oikawa didn’t say anything either, he just walked away, he wasn’t sure he could stop himself from saying the things he was feeling if he stayed there one second more. This was not how he hoped the conversation would end. 

 

Chapter 35: Calm before the storm

Summary:

"All good then?”

“Yeah, we are good.”

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

Kenma was sitting at his usual table, the one he always used at lunch time, he was eating his food in silence, Fukunaga and Yamamoto were talking next to him, they were talking to Lev, who was sitting in front of them about something that had happened in his class.  Kenma didn’t find it as funny as they did but didn’t say anything to interrupt their conversation.

Kenma took his phone to distract himself a little, he heard who someone was sitting down at the table with them, Kenma didn’t need to look up to know who it was.

“Hey Kuroo you want to hear what the teacher said in class?” Yamamoto asked loudly. 

“Yeah sure, tell me.” Kuroo responded.

Kenma forced himself to not look up, he could feel the way Kuroo was looking at him, even if Yamamoto was telling the story again he could tell something was happening between the two of them. Kenma knew the tension between them was visible, they haven’t talked since the moment Kuroo told him they were not walking home together, because he was going with Bokuto, actually since that day Kenma has walked home alone.

The table felt in silence, Kenma wanted to run away from there, he hated being in uncomfortable situations, he was actually contemplating standing up and walking away when he received a text.

 

Are you ok?

Fukunaga 13:06 p.m.

 

Kenma looked up to nod a little, his Fukunaga smiled at him when he received the answer, his eyes ended up in Kuroo almost by habit. Their eyes were locked for a couple of seconds, Kenma felt like he forgot how to breath for a second, just like the last time he saw him, he was unable to tell if Kuroo looked angry or sad.

“Something happened between you two?” Lev asked out loud.

The tall russian boy received a hit in his head by Yamamoto, Kenma was trying to kill Lev with his eyes while Fukunaga just shaked his head, tired.  Kenma was tired, Kuroo was his best friend, even if he had feelings for him that didn’t mean their friendship was ruining, and Kenma was sure Kuroo didn’t know he liked him, so he didn’t know what happened, but it was obvious they needed to talk.

“This is stupid.” Kenma murmured standing up from the table, his friends looked at him with confused expressions. “Kuro, come with me.”

Kuroo opened his mouth to respond something, but he closed it and followed Kenma’s lead and he also stood up. The rest of them looked at them as they walked out of the cafeteria.

“What did I do?” Kenma asked when they were alone, they walked a little now they were standing outside of the cafeteria, where sunlight hit them directly.

 It was a little cold, but it was nice weather, days like this always remind him of long days playing with Kuroo when they were kids.

“What?” Kuroo asked, surprised with the sudden question.

“I can’t tell you are mad at something,” He didn’t know actually, Kenma didn’t know if Kuroo was sad or mad at him. “I have the feeling that this something is me.”

“I’m not.” Kuroo responded, still confused.

“I know you, please tell me.” Kenma insisted, his voice maintain his neutral and disinterested tone. 

“It’s nothing.” He insisted.

“Okay, if you are not telling me.” Kenma started, he was going to kill Yaku for what he was about to do. “Then let me explain myself.”

“About?”

“The video of me talking with Shouyou is out of context, we were talking about Kageyama. I didn’t confess to him.” Kenma explained not even looking at him.

Yaku had told him he needed to explain himself to Kuroo, and now he has done it, Kenma was going to force Yaku to apologize with Lev now.

“Oh.” Kuroo murmured.

“Yeah, I thought you were mad that I hid my love for Shouyou, so I needed to tell you that that’s not true.” Kenma felt like an idiot with the more he talked.

“Oh, yeah totally, so hurt.” Kuroo said quickly.

Kenma knew he was lying, but he looked clearly more relaxed now that Kenma had explained himself. 

“And just for the record.” Kuroo started. “I know you have never asked, but I’m not dating Bo, I don’t like him like that.”

“Oh, okay.” Kenma responded.

Kenma had ignored that topic when he was with Kuroo, he didn't want to ask because he was afraid of the answer, of the confirmation, but now Kuroo was in front of him telling him that he didn’t like him like that.

“All good then?” Kuroo asked now with a smile.

“Yeah, we are good.” Kenma confirmed, with a little smile that he couldn't stop.

“I’m happy we talked about it.”

They both knew there were so many things unsaid between the two of them, but now everything seemed fine, after all they always said it's calm before the storm.

 

Daishou was sitting on the floor, he didn't care being alone in the recess, it didn’t matter to him, but it was a little weird, he had to admit, since the past year he had been in almost every recess with Mika or when they broke up, with Terushima. He knew he had a reputation of a bad boy who is a loner, and he didn’t care, he rather be alone than with people that hated him.

He could go to see his mothers friend, but he knew Kuroo and Bokuto were together and probably spending time with their crushes, Kita had to be somewhere with his boyfriend, Ushijima was probably playing volleyball, Daichi had a lot of others friends who didn’t actually get along with Daishou, Oikawa had to be running from his fangirls or annoying his best friends. Terushima was also in the group, but he couldn't go and talk to him. 

“You look really pathetic all alone there.” A sweet voice said.

It didn't actually sound mean, it sounded like someone that was joking.

“Are you really calling me pathetic?” Daishou asked in return.

The girl sat down on the floor right next to him.

“Yep.” Mika laughed. “Why are you all alone here?”

“I don’t have friends.” Daishou said in an attempt of joking.

“That’s a lie, just admit that you like being the edgy bad boy.” 

“What are you doing here anyway?” Daishou asked, changing the topic. “Don’t you have a friend to annoy, that girl, the really tall one?”

They were sitting really close together. Anyone that saw them would think they are back together, but the truth was that Mika and Daishou were friends before they dated, so now even after their failed relationship they are still friends.

“Kanoka?” Mika asked, Daishou knew the girl but didn't actually remember her name, so he wasn’t actually sure. “I think she likes me.”

“Did she tell you?” Daishou asked, confused.

“Yeah.” Mika said with a proud smile. “She told me after I kissed her.”

Daishou was so shocked by the way Mika talked about it, like he was talking about the time, she looked so comfortable with herself, he was almost jealous.

“Oh,” Daishou said, completely unsure of what he was supposed to say. “So are you two a thing?”

“Nah, we are taking things slowly.” 

“I’m happy for you Mika.” Daishou murmured sincerely. “I hope she is better than me.”

“The bar is really low then.” Mika joked, Daishou pushed her arm softly with a smile as she laughed. “I’m happy too.”

They stayed there for a couple of seconds, Daishou missed this so much, he missed Mika, not as a girlfriend, but just as a friend.

“Well, I wanted to tell you something else actually.” Mika said. “I hope you are not using Yuuji-kun.”

“He is not talking to me, don’t worry.” Daishou responded, before noticing something weird in the thing Mika has said. “‘Yuuji-kun’?”

“Yeah, we are friends now.” She said proudly. “But seriously, Suguru, I think he made you happy.”

Daishou sighed. “I just know how to hurt people, even if he made me happy I would only make him sad.”

“That’s not true.” Mika said.

“It is!” He yelled frustratedly. “Mika, I cheated on you with him, he ask me to broke up with you, so we could be together and I said no, because I’m a fucking coward, you and him should both hate me."

“But we don’t.” Mika’s voice was soft, but she was firm in what she was saying. “If you are serious about him you should go for it, risk it all, that’s the only way, Yuuji doesn’t want half you love, I didn’t want half of you. You have to give all of you, Suguru.” 

Mika’s words send shivers down his spine, he had never put all of him for anything or anyone, he never give all of him for Mika, he never give Yuuji more than a half of his time, he didn’t know if Terushima would forgive him, but a part of him screamed that him was worth the risk.

“And, in case you want to reconsider this.” Mika continued. “I told Yuuji-kun that after class we should go to the park, in case you want to go there to tell all of this to him.”

“Mika you are the living proof God is a woman.” Daishou said hugging the girl, she laughed in response, to slowly pet his hair.

“Even you deserve love, you fucking snake.” She joked.

Now it was Daishou the one laughing.

 

Shirabu was walking down the hallway, he was going to his classroom, the past few days have been really lonely for him, and if he was honest a part of him knew it was his own fault, Semi had all the right to hate him, after the video came out friends they had in common stopped talking to him, and on top of all of that Yahaba was mad at him. Shirabu was happy for his friend, he had seen him talking with Kyoutani more frequently, but he hated being alone.

“Woah Bubu, alone again? Not a surprise.” A voice behind him said.

When he thought his day couldn't be worse he appears.

“Fuck off.” Shirabu said turning his head to look at the boy, he was tall and his brown hair fell on his face flawlessly, if he wasn’t such a bitch he would be beautiful.

“Oh come on Bubu, I just pointed the obvious.” 

“Futakuchi don’t you have other things to do, like choke for example?” Shirabu asked annoyed.

“Don’t threaten me with a good time.” He said with a wink.

Futakuchi was the most annoying person he knew, he could provoc people like one else, he was good at hitting where it hurts the most.

“You know that third year that followed you like a puppy, the one that  is really good looking, you know the one that you insulted and kicked when he trusted you.” Futakuchi said with a smile, obviously knowing what he was doing. “You know if he is single?”

Shirabu was ready to jump into him to kick his face, it didn’t matter that Futakuchi was taller than him and probably stronger, he was so mad he was sure he could take him in a fight.

“You have a boyfriend Futakuchi, and stop bothering Shirabu.” A third person said, he looked so tired of just looking at them.

“Ennoshita! you are not fun.” Futakuchi said with a smile.

Shirabu had talked a couple of times with Ennoshita and he actually admired patience, because he knows the friend group of Ennoshita and he still doesn’t know how he hasn’t killed them yet.

“I would never understand how Aone agreed to date your annoying ass.” Ennoshita deadpanned.

Shirabu didn’t intend to laugh, but he did.

“For your information I am a wonderful boyfriend.” Futakuchi said. “It’s not my fault you fell for a straight man, and that Bubu it’s in denial.”

 “Wow, low blow, even for you.” Ennoshita still talked in that neutral tone, like he had lost his will to live, Shirabu liked Ennoshita, he was a cool guy.

“Are we making fun of Enno?” 

A boy that was walking by had heard Ennoshita and stopped to talk to them, Shirabu wanted to kill himself when he recognized the voice of Yahaba.

“Yeah, and I was also making fun of Bubu.” Futakuchi said, noticing the tension between the two he continued. “Did the boyfriends fight?”

“Fuck off.” Both said at the same time.

Shirabu and Yahaba looked at each other for a couple of seconds.

“Alright.” Ennoshita said. “Futakuchi, come with me.” 

“What? No, I want to see this shit.”

“I was not asking.” And just like that Ennoshita dragged Futakuchi.

“The power Ennoshita holds.” Yahaba said with a smile.

“Can we talk again?” Shirabu asked.

“Why? You missed me?” Yahaba teased.

“You wish.”

They stood in silence for a couple of seconds before they started laughing, they were not apologizing for the fight, or anything they just moved on, that was their type of friendship.

“Hey, I found this in my locker the other day.” Shirabu said, looking for the thing in his pocket, a wrinkled paper sheet.

Yahaba took it in his hands to read it. 

“It says it’s for me, and I thought it was a confession first, but I doesn’t sound like one then I noticed that it sound like a song or a poem, so I tried to google this to see if I noticed something, but nothing and-”

“Shirabu.” Yahaba interrupted him. He looked at Shirabu, at the paper and then Shirabu again. “This is Semi’s handwriting.”

Shirabu didn’t remember how to breath or how to talk, because the only thing in his brain was the fact that all of that things that were written there made sense if was Semi the one that had written them, the lyrics talked about endless fights and good moments, feelings that confused him, the way every song made him think of him, the person talked about how it was having a hundred feelings for a person, not all of the were good, but the good ones made him wanted risking all for him.

“I think Semi wrote this song for you.”

Notes:

As always thank you all for the comments and kudos!! I makes me so happy reading the comments and knowing you all are enjoying this.

Chapter 36: Coward

Summary:

He wanted to pass by him and ignore him, pretend that he didn’t catch feelings for him, pretend he actually hated him, but he was in fact a coward.

Chapter Text

Kunimi knew he was being a coward, he knew it, but he was too busy running away from Kindaichi, and he discovered running away from your best friend it was more difficult than he thought, especially because they did everything together, they had the same classes, they walked home together because Kunimi hated being alone, but now he was hated himself especially because he changed his usual routine to match Kindaichi’s, so now it was almost impossible to ignore him. 

He was running away and being a coward, yes he knew it, but he didn’t stop, he kept walking away from Kindaichi, he didn’t want to talk to him, he didn’t want to face him. After all it was embarrassing since Kindaichi saw the video of him admitting having an unrequited crush on him.

“Akira?” He heard a voice behind his back and he ran.

He was not going to face Kindaichi right now. 

Kunimi ran, not even bothering to look where he was going. He was sitting on the floor, he hated running, his stamina wasn’t the best, as he was trying to catch his breath he noticed where he was in a club room.

“Can I help you?” A familiar voice asked, sending shivers down Kunimi’s spine. 

“No.” Kunimi responded, not even looking at the boy in front of him.

“Well, you are kinda in the club room.” Kageyama murmured just as uncomfortable as him.

Kunimi had the worst luck ever, he not only ended up in the volleyball club room, but also with Kageyama there. 

“I know that.” Kunimi responded sharply.

Kageyama didn’t look offended by Kunimi’s behavior, it is like he expected that type of actitud from the boy. After all Tobio knew Akira since they were kids, they had like a little group of friends because they lived close to each other, Oikawa and Iwaizumi were also in that group, before Oikawa started to hate Tobio, but now they were on good terms. The only person that kept hating Kageyama was Kunimi.

They stood there in silence, Kunimi sat on the floor too tired to get up and leave and Kageyama standing there with a volleyball in his hand.

“What happened?” Kageyama asked, even if he was trying to sound disinterested he sounded worried, and that disgusted Kunimi.

“Take a fucking guess.” 

Kunimi was mean, and if he was honest he didn’t expect Tobio to actually take a guess.

“Is this because I used to date Kindaichi?” Kageyama asked, a little clueless, he didn't know he guessed perfectly.

“It’s none of your business King.”

“Well, you still hate me for something that happened last year, so it’s my business.” Kageyama said slowly.

Kunimi looked at him, a part of him wanted to think about the sweet kid Tobio was years ago, but his mind was filled with Kindaichi crying because of something Kageyama said or did.

“Don’t you have volleyball practice or something?” Kunimi asked, still defensive. 

“No, I was just here because I liked it here.” 

“That sounds pathetic, like you have no friends or what?” Kunimi said, without even thinking about his words.

Kageyama didn’t look at him, but he didn’t contradict him either. Kunimi felt the urge to apologize, but he bites his tongue, he was not going to apologize to Kageyama Tobio.

“We were really destructive, I hurted him, he hurted me back.” Kageyama started talking while playing with the volleyball ball in his hand. “And you ended up there like a collateral damage, because you were our friends… or at least you were Kindaichi’s friend.”

Kunimi didn’t stop Kageyama, for some reason he wanted to hear whatever he wanted to say. 

“You know, it was really painful, I know it was for him too.” Kageyama stopped looking at the ball on his hand like he was trying to remember something. “Someone told me that when something is hurting you it’s better to  stop that, because it’s going to keep being hurtful in the future.”

“That’s what you broke up with him?” Kunimi found himself asking.

“No, he broke up with me because of the king accident.” Kageyama murmured. “But what I’m saying is that it’s like a wound, if you treat it maybe it would hurt, but it's going to heal, if you don’t treat it, it’s going to infect, and that would hurt more. I think Kindaichi did the right thing and broke up with me.”

“I think he did.” Kunimi murmured. “That sounded extremely poetic, you didn't come out with that, didn’t you?”

“No.” Kageyama looked at the ball with what looked like a smile. “He made it sound even more poetic.”

Kunimi looked at him for a couple of seconds before the realisation hit him.

“You really like that shrimp.” 

“Yeah, I think I do.”

Kunimi did what he didn’t expect to do in a room alone with Kageyama, he laughs, the situation was so ridiculous, he was hiding from Kindaichi and now he was having a poetic time talking with Kageyama.

“I think I’m going to talk to him.” Kunimi said standing up. “But I still hate you.”

“I didn't expect less.”

 

Yaku was walking down the hall to go to his last class of the day, he received a text that same day from Kuroo, telling him that he and Kenma had talked about the situation and they are on good terms no, Yaku  knew that probably didn’t talk at all of the undeniable crush they have for each other.

He didn’t want to face Lev yet, he didn’t know how to explain the situation to him, how he opened his heart one day and the next one he acted like nothing happened. Yaku didn’t want to do that, but he was bad at emotions and a part of him didn't believe a long distance relationship would work, or even he and Lev, they were not going to work and he didn't want to risk it.

But the destiny had other plans, even if he was ignoring Lev the tall russian boy was walking in his direction, he looked like he was tired, probably he just had history, Yaku knew that Lev was always sleepy after history.

He wanted to pass by him and ignore him, pretend that he didn’t catch feelings for him, pretend he actually hated him but he was in fact a coward.

“Lev.” He said before he could stop his mouth. 

Lev stopped walking for a second, like he was thinking on what to do, but then he decided to keep walking, ignoring Yaku. 

“Lev it’s just a second.” Yaku insisted. “Please?”

Yaku was almost expecting the boy to keep walking, he wasn't going to follow him if he runned away, but Lev stayed there.

“I was really shitty with you, I’m so sor-” 

“Don’t apologize.” Lev interrupted him with a little voice, like he was trying his best to keep it as calm as he could. “You are making it more difficult.”

“But I’m sorry.” Yaku said confused.

“Yeah, maybe you are, but I want to get over you, and I’m going to follow you orders and not talk to you more.” Lev said obviously hurt by his own words.

“Lev.”

“Yaku-san.” Lev said softly. “Please, ignore me, that would be easy for both of us.”

If Yaku were brave he would have taken Lev arm and screamed to his face that the reason that this was so difficult was because he was in love with him, and he was worried of ruining their future by trying. If Yaku were brave he would take the risk, he would risk everything because Lev made him happy, his annoying ass made him laugh. Just if Yaku were brave.

But he was a coward, he watched in silence how Lev walked down the hall away from him.

“Maybe it’s for the best.”

He murmured, knowing very well that it wasn’t.

 

“Bokuto-san you are more worried than I am.” Akaashi said as they walked to the exit.

The boy had just finished his classes and noticed Bokuto waiting for him in the door of his classroom.

“But Akaashi! what if this person tries to extortionate you.” Bokuto said, looking in every direction to make sure that no one was listening to them.

“If they come to talk to me I will know who they are.” Akaashi said simply, he had panicked over all of that since the moment he sent the videos, that was how he was acting so calm even if he was panicking just as Bokuto. “We just need to find who they are.”

“Oh,” Bokuto said suddenly like he just remembered something. “Oikawa texted the group chat a couple of hours ago, he said Iwaizumi was the one behien the account.”

“Why didn’t you tell me?” Akaashi asked, trying to keep his calm.

“I thought Oikawa was being dramatic, and Ushiji was with him, so I didn't take it too seriously.” Bokuto explained himself. “Maybe he is not, but maybe we can start there?”

Akaashi smiled at him.

“Yeah, it’s a good start.”

They started walking leaving two people behind, the other two boys were just looking as Bokuto and Akaashi walked out of the school.

“So Akaashi is the one that sent the videos?” Komori asked.

“Yeah, I was kinda shocked when I received the message to be honest.” Suna responded. 

“And it’s Iwaizumi actually the one helping you?”

“He was.” Suna confirmed taking his phone from his pocket. “But he quitted, so I’m going to post this.”

Suna gave his phone to Komori who took it to put play to the video, he watched it in silence to then look at Suna.

“You are such a bitch.” Komori said with a little smile.

“I told him that if he told somebody or if he quitted I was going to post it.” Suna said like it wasn’t a big deal, after all he was just keeping his promise.

“Suna I think you should be more careful, I think someone-'' Komori said but he was interrupted.

“Suna!” A loud voice said, the two boys turned around to see the Miya twins walking to them.

“What were you saying?” Suna asked.

“Uh, nothing, maybe later.” Komori said with a smile.

He was so scared of what would happen with them with all of this come to an end.

Chapter 37: Just a kiss

Summary:

After all it was just a kiss, nothing more, right?

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

Yahaba was walking home the same way he had been going home for the past week, without Shirabu, but this time not because they didn’t talk anymore they have talked again, but Shirabu said he wanted to walk home alone because he had a lot to think off, so Yahaba was walking home with Kyotani. 

He always forgot he used to be so scared of the boy, because he looked so intimidated, and unapproachable, but they usually walked home together, and sometimes they went to places, Yahaba jokingly always said it was a date, but Kyotani never said anything about it. Shirabu always laughed and said it looked like they were dating, but Yahaba didn’t  know if they even were friends, his relationship with Kyotani was so confusing for him.

Yahaba was walking in silence next to the boy, when he noticed that Kyotani was not next to him.

“What are you doing?” Yahaba asked, turning around, to see that he had crouched.

Kyotani was apparently looking at a bush, or something that was there. Yahaba, noticing that he was not going to get an answer, he also crouched down next to him to see what it was.

“It’s a dog.” Yahaba murmured a little confused.

“He looks hurt.” Kyotani extended his hand to the animal, who looked defensive, like he was about to attack Kyotani. “Shh, it’s fine, I’m not going to hurt you.”

The soft way Kyotani spoke made Yahaba feel butterflies in his stomach, the boy looked so calm and kind, something that he didn't see very often, he looked so beautiful. It didn’t matter how much Shirabu was going to laugh at him, but now he was so glad he fell for a guy like Kyotani, who may look tough on the exterior but it was a good person inside. 

“We should take him to a vet.” Kyotani said.

He had the dog already on his arms, it was really small and it looked like he had been on the street for a long time, it was a puppy, and it was cute.

“The closest one is down the street.” 

“Let’s go then.”

They were walking down the street, Kyotani was petting the dog, making sure not to touch one of his legs because he had a wound there, Yahaba was checking his phone, because he had over twenty messages from Shirabu who was gay panicking and overanalyzing the lyric of the song Semi wrote for him, he laughed out loud as he read the messages.

“What?” Kyotani asked.

“Nothing, just that Shirabu is an idiot.” Yahaba laughed. 

“You guys are talking again?” Kyotani asked in a weird tone that Yahaba didn't understand.

“Yeah, he is my best friend after all.” Yahaba said with a smile. “I missed talking with him, and he always made fun of me so it’s nice being the one laughing for once.”

“I don’t want to hear about you boyfriend.” Kyotani said, sounding angry, also he started walking faster.

Yahaba, a little confused, started walking faster too.

“What, jealous?”

Kyotani didn’t answer, in fact he looked away from Yahaba, his cheeks were red, and Yahaba opened his eyes in surprise.

“Oh my god, you are jealous.” He laughed. “I knew you have been into me since I slammed you against that wall.”

Yahaba kept laughing, until he noticed Kyotani was not laughing with him, he thought the guy was not serious, that they were joking, but Kyotani looked even hurt.

“If you knew why you kept me around?” Kyotani asked angrily. “I’m not you fucking toy.”

Yahaba was just joking, he didn’t think the guy actually liked him too, he didn’t think he was going to get a confirmation of those feelings, he stopped walking for a second, Kyotani didn’t stop, he was walking away from him, he was angry. Yahaba feared that if he didn’t stop him right now he would never see him again.

He started running behind him, he took the arm of Kyotani and before he could say anything Yahaba threw him against the closest wall. Kyotani had his back against the wall, and was looking at the boy with pure confusion, but before he could say anything Yahaba kissed him.

With one hand in his check and the other in the wall next to the boy's head, Yahaba almost expected to be pushed away and punched in the face, it took him by surprise when he felt Kyotani’s lips corresponding to the kiss.

He slowly moved away with a smile on his lips.

“I like you too.” Yahaba said.

Kyotani’s face was glowing red.

“You idiot, be more careful next time I almost dropped him.” He said, patting the dog. 

Yahaba smiled bigger this time, as he also patted the dog, because Kyotany said next time.

 

“I should be going.” Sakusa said standing up from the sofa.

He was in the twins house, Atsumu had insisted that they should watch a movie together, and Sakusa had planned on saying no until he noticed that they were not going to be alone, Osamu, Suna and Komori were also there. And even if he didn’t say it outloud very often he enjoyed spending his time with them.

“It’s early.” Atsumu said, making a little pout.

“Yeah, but I have homework to do and I’m on cleaning duty today.” Sakusa, then he turned to the other end of the sofa, where the other three were watching them in silence. “Have a nice afternoon.”

“Bye Kiyoomi.” Komori said without making the effort to move from his place. “Say hi to auntie for me!”

“See you tomorrow.” Osamu said with a smile.

“Goodbye.” Suna didn’t even look up from his phone as he speaked.

“Let me walk you out.” Atsumu said standing from the sofa too.

They walked to the door of Miya's house, it was pretty away from Sakusa’s house, and a part of him wanted to die as he noticed he was going to need to use the train, and that he needed to walk to the station. 

“I hope we didn’t drive you insane.” Atsumu said standing in the door frame, his smile wasn’t a cocky one, he looked almost shy, he never thought he would see the day Miya Atsumu would look embarrassed. 

“It’s fine, I had fun.” Sakusa said as he took from his pocket a mask, he wasn’t wearing one inside. 

“Good. See you tomorrow Omi-kun” 

Sakusa thought for a second, maybe he was going to regret it all the way to home, but for some reason he was feeling bold, so he quickly came closer to Atsumu to put a quick kiss on his left cheek. Atsumu looked at him in surprise with his face red.

“Yeah, see you Miya.” Sakusa said, putting his mask on, hoping that it would cover the red color of his face. 

Atsumu waited until Sakusa was out of his sight to close the door, he waited almost three seconds before screaming incomprensibles things, Osamu was watching him from the sofa with an unimpressed expression and  Suna and Komori had almost idently smiles on his face.

“You are so whipped, it's hilarious.” Suna said.

Atsumu didn’t respond with words, it is most like the verbal version of a keysmash.

“I actually didn’t expect Sakusa to even accept coming here.” Osamu admitted.

“It’s because he is just as whipped for Atsumu.” Komori said laughing.

“He is not.” Atsumu finally said, the red on his face hadn’t faded yet.

The three guys looked at each other as if they were silently judging Atsumu’s incapacity to see that Sakusa Kiyoomi is deeply in love with him.

“Look Atsumu, I love my cousin, but he is an idiot.” Komori started talking even if he had a smile on his lips, Atsumu noticed that he was talking seriously. “He is not very good at verbal communication, but he is very clear with his body language, he likes you.”

“I don’t think he does.” Atsumu said as Kiyoomi hadn’t just kissed him on his door, or as the video of him and Sakusa making out in the party didn't exists.

“I swear to god Atsumu you are making me homophobic, and I’m fucking gay.” Suna said annoyed.

“Try living with him.” Osamu said with a smile.

“I hate you, except you Komori, you are cool.”

The three of them laughed, as Atsumu walked to the sofa to sit there again, even if they assured that Kiyoomi corresponded his feelings he wasn’t so sure, after all it was just a kiss, nothing more.

 

“So Iwaizumi is the one behind the account?” Ushijima asked for the fourth time in the past hour.

They were sitting in the bed of Oikawa, since he was desperately sending text and panicking in the group chat, Ushijima decided he was going to see him, to see if he was alright. He hadn’t been in Oikawa’s room before, the boy never allowed him to enter his room, and all the other times he had been in Oikawa's house was with the whole group.

“Aren’t you listening to me? Yes, he told me, and then he tried to apologise for exposing me not once, but two times!” Oikawa was tired and annoyed, he was laying on his bed while Ushijima was sitting there like a normal person.

“I still can't believe Iwaizumi is the one behiend it.” Ushijima insisted.

“He. Told. Me.” Oikawa insisted. “Why are you the one here?”

“No one else wanted to hear you moping around.” Ushijima deadpanned. “And they were busy.”

Kuroo was in Taito Station with Kenma playing in the arcades, Bokuto was with Akaashi somewhere, Kita and Daichi had a school project and they decided to go together to Aran’s house, they all explained their reasons in the group chat, except Daishou that had sent a private text to Ushijima saying that he was going to talk with Terushima. At the end they were the only ones there.

“Fuck this, fuck him.” Oikawa said sitting on his bed to see Ushijima who was still looking at him with a neutral expression. “Let’s change the topic, how is Tendou.”

“Good, I believe.” He responded, he had told Oikawa of his crush on Tendou, the boy had laughed for a while, but he didn’t actually make fun of him, he even offered his help. “I think he is dating Semi.”

“Nah, the hot one that plays the guitar?” Oikawa asked, only receiving a raised eyebrow in response. “What? Eita-kun is hot. I’m not blind Ushiwaka.”

“Why don’t you think he is not dating Tendou?”

“Because he is totally in love with that brat that idolizes you, I don’t know his name, but second year, Yahaba’s friend, weird bangs?”

“Shirabu?” Ushijima asked, looking away as he was considering it. “I can see it, but I don’t know.”

“You are blind.” Oikawa laughed. “But I guess you know them better than me, so whatever you said.”

They were sitting extremely close, and it was not the first time they were this close, Oikawa was always sitting on top of him or laying against him, at first because he thought it would bother Ushijima, but then he kept doing it because he thought it was actually comfortable. 

Oikawa turned his head to the side finding Ushijima’s face there just a couple of centimetres away from his own, he could feel the warm air of his breath.

“Oikawa?” Ushijima asked very slowly, like he was scared of raising his voice.

“Just shut up.” Oikawa responded as he cupped Ushijima’s face with his hands.

There, in his own room Oikawa did something that he swore he would never do in his whole life, he was kissing Ushijima Wakatoshi. But that didn’t matter to him in that moment because after all it was just a kiss, nothing more, right?

Chapter 38: Friends or more

Summary:

They both knew being just friends was not enough for them.

Chapter Text

Daishou was walking into the park he had walked in a lot of time, that was the place he used to hang out with Mika while they were dating, he never got to bring Terushima there because they usually hung out together in private. Daishou kept walking until he saw the blonde hair of Terushima, the boy was sitting on a park bench with his eyes on his phone.

“Hey.” Daishou said as he walked to stand right in front of him.

Terushima looked up confused, then after a couple of seconds he sighed.

“I’m guessing Mika is actually not coming.” Terushima murmured, putting his phone in his pocket.

“No, sorry. She told me you would be here.” Daishou said, unsure if he should sit down next to Terushima or if it was better for him to stand there. 

“Ah.” 

They fell in silence for a couple of seconds, it was uncomfortable, they haven’t talk since that time in the roof, when Terushima told him to fuck off, after the photos of them were posted.

“I wanted to talk to you.”

Terushima looked up, but didn’t respond, giving Daishou a silent permission to talk.

“I’m sorry, for everything, for all the times I didn’t break up with Mika, for all the times that we had to kiss in secret, for everything.” Daishou apologized quickly like he was afraid Terushima would change his mind about listening to him. “You told me to talk to you when I had my shit together, I know what I feel and what I want.”

“I asked you a question back then, you still haven’t answered.”Terushima said, trying not to look Daishou in his eyes. “What am I to you?”

Daishou felt silent, that was the question he was never able to answer, because they weren’t boyfriends, but Terushima never meant nothing to him, but he couldn't find the right word.

“Because I always feel like you only thought of me as a distraction.” Terushima murmured.

“No!” Daishou found himself raising his voice. “You were a lot more for me than a distraction.”

I love you, said the voiced in his head, but he bited his tongue, he wasn’t going to said that, he was apologizing, he was not confessing. And a part of him didn’t actually believe those words, Daishou said to Mika a lot of times that he loved her, and he knew how that ended.

“Then what?” Terushima demanded.

“Well, first you were my friend.” He tried to find Terushima’s eyes, but the boy with the piercing was looking away. “I cared about you.”

“Friends?” Terushima laughed. “Are you sure? I have a lot of friends, but you are the only one that had his hands in my pants.”

“You are a fucking liar, I have known you for years, do you think I don’t know how many people you have been with?” Daishou asked. 

“Strong words for the man who cheated on his girlfriend.” 

“At least I was in a relationship, mister afraid of commitment.”

They looked at each other for a couple of seconds, if anyone else would hear them would think they were fighting, but they knew they were only joking, even if they were actually telling the truth. Terushima and Daishou always insulated each other that way, it was part of their friendship, well they usually ended up making out at the end, now they were looking at each other with a little smile on their faces.

“Can we be friends again?” Daishou asked without erasing the smile on his face. “It’s weird not having you around, the boys also miss you.”

Terushima seemed to think it for a second, before standing up from the park bench.

“Yeah, fine.” He said laughing. “I missed those bitches anyway.”

They were friends again, which was a big step, but they both knew being just friends was not enough for them.

 

Yachi’s house was like a second home for Yamaguchi and Hinata, they both spended a lot of time there, usually going there for a couple of hours before going home, usually Kageyama was also with them, but he had to go back home early that day. Hinata the days that he didn't have volleyball practice or plans with Kenma or Kageyama he was always in Yachi’s house. Yamaguchi since the fight he had with Tsukishima had been spending more time with the girl.

“So Tsukishima apologized to you?” Yachi asked after hearing the story of the boy.

“Yeah it was a surprise to me too.” Yamaguchi said with a little smile.

“I can’t imagine that, Tsukishima being truly sorry.” Hinata laughed.

“Well, we are walking to school together, and we are having lunch together again, so I guess everything is good.”

“I'm happy for you Tadashi-kun!” Yachi said with a big smile. “I’m glad you two talked.”

“I’m too, he is my best friend.” 

Hinata was sitting on the floor meanwhile Yamaguchi and Yachi were laying on the bed of the girl, he didn’t care, he was comfortable there, he noticed the cellphone of the girl had a notification.

“Yachi, someone is sending you a message.” Hinata said, but the girl didn’t move.

“Who?”

“I think it’s Kiyoko-san.” Hinata said reading the username.

Yachi almost fell out of her bed as she runned to grab her phone, her face glowing from the red it was, Yamaguchi and Hinata looked at eachother with smiles on their faces.

“So Yachi, how is it going with Kiyoko-san?” Yamaguchi asked in a clear teasing tone.

“Fine!” The girl raised her voice embarrassed. 

“So is she straight?” Hinata asked.

“I don’t know, I think so.” Yachi responded a little sad, but she was still looking at her phone. “But she is not interested in Tanaka-san, and we are helping him get together with Chikara-san.”

“Oh that’s good.” Yamaguchi said with a soft smile.

“Yeah, maybe she is also into girls, don’t lose hope Yachi.”

They keep talking for a couple of minutes more, switching the conversation between Kiyoko and Tsukishima. Hinata loved his friends, but he started to feel guilty, because he hadn't told them yet about the conversation he had with Kenma. Apparently in the party he started talking that he liked Kageyama, and that was when Kenmma said the thing about the confession, that the secrets page took out of context. 

He didn’t talk too much about his own crushes and thoughts, because he actually hadn’t had one before, nothing serious, a couple of attractions that in the end were just admiration, nothing like what he felt for Kageyama.

“I think I have a crush on Kageyama.” He didn’t notice that he said that out loud until he saw the way Yamaguchi and Yachi were looking at him.

“Well.” Yachi said with an awkward smile. “Did you just realise that?”

“I don’t know?” He said, confused. “I think i just admitted it.”

“How did you realise?” Yamaguchi asked.

“I was thinking of something Kenma told me, but I didn’t think much of it until now.”  Hinata was more calm that he thought he would be, 

He always thought a revelation like that would make him lose his mind, but he was sitting calming on the floor, like every part of him already knew it.

“Oh that’s good Hinata.” Yamaguchi smiled. “Maybe you should tell him.” 

“I will.” Hinata said with a smile.

“I’m sure he would not reject you.” Yachi also told him with a smile.

Hinata had never fallen in love before, but he was okay with the fact that his first crush ever was Kageyama Tobio.

 

“Iwaizumi is in the gym again.” Matsukawa said, checking his phone.

“And Oikawa has his phone in silence.” Hanamaki responded by throwing his phone to the table. “Those idiots fight again.”

“I wonder what for this time.” Matsukawa laughed.

They were at Matsukawa's house, which was closer to the school, they had planned going to the movies with Oikawa and Iwaizumi but they had a fight, a big one for what they could tell, so their plans were cancelled. 

“I don’t understand why they can just make out, the sexual tension between them is horrible.” Hanamaki said, they were lying on the sofa of the living room.

Matsukawa’s arm was around Hanamaki’s shoulders, which was nothing out of the ordinary, but Hanamaki felt it was weird, after that conversation he had with Oikawa, about his feelings for Mattsun all had been weird for him.

“You okay?” Matsukawa asked, when he noticed that the boy had spaced out.

“Yeah, I’m fine.” He responded. 

“Good.” His hand started to slowly move forward to stop on Makki’s neck. “Wanna make out?”

“Yeah.” Hanamaki responded with a smile.

This time they didn't have an excuse, they were not drunk, they were not at a party, they were alone in Matsukawa’s living room, but they kissed anyway, both completely convinced that the other thought of them as just friends.

 

Akaashi and Bokuto were walking to the gym, it was a gym in the center of the city, Bokuto used to go there on the weekend so he knew that Iwaizumi used to go there when he had time.

“Has Oikawa-san said anything else?” Akaashi asked, walking right next to Bokuto.

“Nop, neither he nor Ushijima are answering their phones, they have to be busy.” Bokuto explained with a smile, as he checked his texts. “But for what I get from his texts, he was having a discussion with Iwaizumi and he told him it was him the one behind the account, or something like that, he wrote that in all caps and key-smashes.”

“Well, we will ask Iwaizumi-san.” Akaashi said as he opened the door of the gym.

Iwaizumi was drinking water in front of a big mirror, that was how they found him, they came closer to him, when he noticed they were there he smiled, even he looked tired and sad.

“Iwaizumi-san I wanted to ask a question.” Akaashi said with a quick bow.

“Hello Akaashi.” Iwaizumi responded the same way, he looked at Bokuto with a smile. “Hey.”

“Hey man.” Bokuto responded with a smile.

“I will be quick to hear from Oikawa-san that you were behind the account.” 

Akaashi was talked seriously, even if he was one year younger than Iwaizumi he was taller than him. Iwaizumi looked away, but he didn’t deny it immediately.

“What’s your point?” Iwaizumi asked instead.

“I wanted to talk about the message I received from the account, a message I assume you sent.”Akaashi said, trying not to bring the fact that he was the one that texted first.

“I didn't send that.” Iwaizumi confessed.

“Kawa was really expressive in his text, so I guess he wasn’t lying when he said you were behind it.” Bokuto said, he was still smiling.

“He didn’t lie.” Iwaizumi resigned and resigned. “But I didn’t use the account, I helped him. The owner was the one that texted you, probably.”

“Do you know who he is?” Akaashi asked.

“No.” Iwaizumi said without missing a beat. “He contacted me the same way, I don’t know who he is.”

Iwaizumi lied without even blinking, but Akaashi and Bokuto seemed convinced with his answer.

Chapter 39: Chances

Summary:

“I saw a chance and I took it.”

“A chance, huh? I like that.”

Chapter Text

Kunimi was walking to his friend's house, something that was not weird at all, just like a normal friday, except that Kunimi would definitely prefer to take a nap right now. Especially considering how long he has been ignoring Kindaichi.  It was the conversation that he had with Kageyama that had convinced him to actually face the problem, and even if that meant to have to confess and be rejected. 

Kunimi knocked the door of the familiar house, a couple of seconds later a woman opened the door, Kindaichi’s mother with a big smile.

“Akira-kun! Come in, Yuutarou is upstairs.” The woman said she didn’t look too much like Kindaichi, but there was something in her eyes that was the same, but Kunimi in all those years has never been able to tell what it is. “I haven't see you all week, I guess it was a busy week.”

“Yeah, it was.” Kunimi responded with a little smile as he entered the house, taking his shoes off. “Sorry for the intrusion.” 

“Are you staying for dinner?” Kindaichi’s mother ask.

“I don’t know, probably not.” Kunimi responded.

He bowed in direction of the woman as he started to go upstairs, he had been there a lot of time, almost three days a week, every week for the past couple of years. Kunimi knocked the door of Kindaichi’s room without a plan beforehand, he was going to improvise an apology, or something, that was his whole plan.

“Come in!” Kindaichi said from the other side of the door.

Kunimi sighed before opening the door.

“Akira?” Kindaichi was confused when he saw the boy slowly opening the door of his room.

Kindaichi lying on his bed, he was taking out his headphones, even if he was standing in the door, away from him he could hear the music that was playing, some weird band that Kindaichi liked, one that Kunimi heard sometimes when he was awake at night, when he wanted to forget everything about his life, he also listening to that same song when he was thinking of how did he fall for his friend of all people.

“Hey.” Kunimi murmured, entering the room not waiting for an answer. As always he went to sit down in the chair of the desk in the other side of the room.

“What are you doing here?” Kindaichi asked. “Not that I don’t want you here!, but I thought you didn’t want to…”

Kindaichi didn’t finish the rest of his phrase, anyway Kunimi understood, he never quite understood why Kindaichi freaked out about everything, if one of them should be worried should be him, not Kindaichi. He was the one exposed, he was the one that admitted having a crush on his best friend, he was the one that was going to get rejected.

“I was avoiding you.” Kunimi spoke clearly, like he didn’t want to run away at that moment. “But I changed my mind.”

Kindaichi looked at him surprised, he took a couple of seconds to think of what to say.

“Can I ask why?”

“I spoke with Kageyama.” Kunimi murmured, he saw how Kindaichi smiled at him, like he was happy to hear that. “Don’t make that face, I still hate him. I’m just saying, I talked to him, and he told me about your relationship with him.”

“Oh, you talked about that?” 

“Yeah, I think he made me understand that all of that was for the better, and in the past, so if it makes you feel better, I’m not going to pick fights with him anymore.” Kunimi responded.

“That’s good.” Kindaichi responded with a little smile. “But why were you ignoring me?”

Kunimi looked at his friend like he wanted to kill him, a part of him didn’t believe he was actually asking that, but the other part knew Kindaichi sounded sincere. 

“You know why, I’m not going to say it.” Kunimi responded defensive.

“No, I don’t.” Kindaichi insisted.

Kunimi looked at him in the eyes, this was not how he imagined the scene, they were so far away on opposite sides of the room, it was more a fight than a confession. But he was not going to stop now, if he was going to get that out of his chest he was going to do it now.

“Because I love you.” Kunimi said, trying his best so his voice sounded cold, and for the face that Kindaichi made he was sure he completed his objective. “And someone posted that stupid video, of me saying it.”

“Akira.” Kindaichi murmured, but Kunimi didn’t allow him to talk.

“I’m sorry this is not the type of confession you like, I know you prefer them behind the gym with a note.” Kunimi’s words were more salty than he originally intended.

“You said it was in the past! You can’t say that you love me and then act jealous of something that happened a year ago.” Kindaichi responded tired.

Kunimi knew he was being mean in that moment, but he was angry, he had to confess at times, and he still hadn't gotten a proper answer. 

“Well that was it, that was all I wanted to say, I’m leaving now.” Kunimi standed up, and walked to the door.

He hoped that Kindaichi would stop him from leaving, but he didn’t. Kunimi left Kindaichi’s house thinking that he had not only fuck up his friendship, but also all his chances. 

 

“I’m starting to think you have gambling problems.” Kuroo said as he watched Kenma put another one hundred yen coin in the ufo catcher.

“You already knew that.” Kenma responded as he failed his try to catch the plushie.

They were hanging out in a Taito Station that was in Tokyo that Kenma loved, not only for the arcades, but also because of the UFO catcher machines, Kenma could spend hours trying to catch his favorite prizes. And he was really good actually at it, he had already won Kuroo and big Kuromi plush, a little calico cat plush and two plushies of some pokemons he could even name, but for some reason he couldn't win this particular plush, it was a big one, and Kuroo knew it was hard. 

“Stop, let me try once.” Kuroo said as he walked to the machine to try it.

“I have been trying for twenty minute, and you couldn't even win one of the easy ones.” Kenma said with his annoyed expression.

“Well you haven't won yet so I’m going to try.” Kuroo let the plushies lie on the floor as he put a one hundred yen coin in the machine. 

Now he could see what the plushie that Kenma was so desperate to get,  if someone asked Kuroo he would say it was ugly, it was a type of cat, a big one, completely black and was holding a little fish in his mouth. For how big it was it looked expensive, but with how much Kenma had already spent on it probably were close to the price.

“I told you.” Kenma said when he failed his first attempt. 

“One more time.” Kuroo said as he put another coin in.

For some kind of magic, that was the winning attempt, and in the next second he had the black cat on his hands, Kenma was looking at him and the plushie like he didn't believe his eyes.  Kuroo extended the plushie to the boy.

“You won it, it’s yours.” Kenma said looking away.

“You won me all those plushies.” Kuroo said taking the others that Kenma had won him. “This one is for you.” 

Kenma took the black cat in his hand and slowly he took it to his chest, to hug it. 

“It looks like you.” Kenma said in a low voice with a little smile on his face.

Kuroo can swear he saw cupid shooting him an arrow right there, because he felt like he fell for Kenma all over again.

“Where do you want to go now?” Kuroo asked as they walked out of Taito station. It was getting dark, probably they should go home, but he still let Kenma choose, if Kuroo was honest if Kenma said he wanted to go to see Mount Fuji at this hour, he would go with him. 

“We should go to the pokemon cafe.” Kenma said he was not using his phone as he walked, both of his hands were holding the black cat.

“I’m pretty sure you need a reservation, from like months ago.” Kuroo responded with a smile.

“Hm.” Kenma murmured. “Then we can go in a couple of months more.” 

“Yeah, sounds like a plan.” Kuroo said, looking at the boy. “Then we are going home?” 

“Yeah let’s go.”

They were walking in silence, it was not uncomfortable, but it was just silence, Kuroo was trying his best to not think of how close Kenma was, but then he started to think something in his hand. Kuroo let out a weird sound from the back of his throat that sounded more like the scream of a cat than the one of a teenage boy.

“Is there a problem?”Kenma asked, even if Kuroo wasn’t looking at him he could tell he was smiling.

Kenma was holding his plush with one arm as he hugged it, and was holding Kuroo’s hand with his right. 

“No.” Kuroo responded quickly. “But you? walking home holding hands with a man? Scandalous. What will the neighbors think?”

Kuroo joked, he usually did that when he was nervous, but at least it made Kenma laugh.

“You are my neighbor Kuro, and I already knew that you don’t think.” Kenma responded.

“Why?” Kuroo asked without letting go of his hand.

“Because you are dumb.” Kenma responded with a smile.

“I’m smarter than you mister, but why, holding hands?” Kuroo asked, his voice getting lower with each word.

“Just because.” Kenma responded simply. “I saw a chance and I took it.”

“A chance, huh?” Kuroo couldn't stop his smile. “I like that.”

They walked home holding hands, with a lot of plushies and big smiles on their faces. 

 

Osamu was lying on his bed, his phone was still on hand, when he noticed something was off, he tried to check again and again if it was a problem off his phone or it was something that was definitely happening.

“Tsumu!”” He screamed as he standed up from his bed to run to the room of his twin.

“What!?” He heard Atsumu respond from his room. 

Osamu entered the room of his twin quickly, Atsumu was on his bed with his cellphone in his hand.

“Check the secrets page.” Osamu said quickly. 

“Fuck, did they posted anything or?” Atsumu asked as he quickly entered instagram. “What it’s so important that-”

Osamu was expecting that kind of reaction, he expected Atsumu to fall silent, because that was the same reaction he had when he saw.

“I can’t find the secrets account.” Atsumu said in a low voice.

“I didn’t saw it, and I needed to know if it was a error, or if that shit it's actually gone.”

“Wait.” Atsumu said. “Did they take down the page?” 

Osamu doubled for a second, and bit his tongue.

“Yeah, I think so.”

“Why?” Atsumu asked.

“I don’t know.” Osamu lied.

Chapter 40: Disappeared

Chapter Text

“I can’t believe you took Kenma on a date.” Yaku said as he sat down in his chair.

“What can I say, I’m a hopeless romantic.” Kuroo responded with a smile.

It was monday again, as always Kuroo was sitting on his chair with a confident smile, Yaku was next to him with a bored expression, Kai was nowhere to be found, probably was sick, Kuroo made a mental reminder of calling him later. Oikawa was using the seat of Kai in his absence, since he was ignoring Iwaizumi.

“Please, you called us on the group chat when you came home crying because he took your hand.” Oikawa told making Yaku laugh. “And he took you on a date, not the other way around.”

“You are not helping me.” Kuroo responded. When Kai was there he was neutral, while Yaku bullied him, but now with Oikawa is two against one.

“I’m not trying to help you.” Oikawa said.

“So Kenma took you on a date, won plushies for you and then he took you hand as you two walked home.” Yaku said with a smile on his face. “I knew he had more guts than you.”

“I hate you both.” Kuroo decided finally. “And Yaku you can’t laugh at me, because you still haven’t talk to your crush.”

“Oh my, does our short friend have a crush?” Oikawa asked with a smile.

“Call me short again and I will make sure no one finds your body.” Yaku deadpanned, even Kuroo felt shivers down his spine, Yaku was scary. “And I tried to apologize, he didn't want to talk to me.”

“Well, you kinda told him to never talk to you again.” Yaku groaned.

“You know what? It’s for the best.”

Oikawa and Kuroo exchange looks, Oikawa didn’t know the full story, but he didn’t need to know the full story to understand what was happening. He was good at reading people and he made a vague idea of what was happening.

“Graduation is soon.” Oikawa said like it was nothing, but he knew he was right when he saw the expression on Yaku’s face. “Huh? that’s the problem, isn’t it?”

Kuroo sometimes hated Oikawa, he was just smiling, but his eyes looked like he had just killed someone on the spot. But also he was right, Kuroo hadn’t thought too much about it, but graduation was soon, he was going to graduate, he was going to college next year. He hated when he entered high school, because Kenma was a year younger, and now he was going to leave Kenma on school again. He hated the feeling, Kuroo had made his best effort to forget about graduation until that point.

“Did you guys see the account disappeared?” Yaku asked, changing the topic.

“That was subtle.” Kuroo murmured. “Yeah I saw it.”

“Finally, I was tired of that shit.” Oikawa siad, letting Yaku get away with changing the topic.

“But why? It seemed really interested to expose people, why stop?”

“Maybe the school got involved?” Kuroo asked a little unsure. “You know who principal Washijō is.”

“Does that mean they know who the owners are?” Yaku asked.

Kuroo looked at Oikawa, who had a weird expression on his face.

“Maybe.” He responded looking away.

Kuroo got the weird sensation that Oikawa knew something that wasn’t telling them.

 

Kiyoko was walking down the hallway of first year, she noticed a lot of people were watching her, but he tried his best to ignore the curious looks, it has been this way since she was a kid, everyone finds her pretty, even if she didn’t find herself more than ordinary.

“Yachi!” Kiyoko said when he saw the blonde hair of the girl.

The petite blonde jumped when she heard her name, she also threw away her books, but she also catched them midair.

“Kiyoko-san.” The girl said, a little confused. “Did something happen?”

“No, everything is okay, I just wanted to ask you something.” Kiyoko smiled at her. “Are you free today this afternoon?”

Yachi’s cheeks started glowing in a nice shade of red. 

“Oh, another double date to get Tanaka and Chikara-san together?” Yachi asked with a little smile.

“I was thinking just the two of us, maybe go into a cafe?” Kiyoko asked.

She swears she saw the soul of Yachi leaving her body. Yachi was a cute and adorable girl, she was so glad the other girls introduced her to the girl, she was never one to make a lot of friends, so she was happy with a friend like Yachi.

“J-Just just the t-two of us?!” Yachi said, messing up her words as she looked at Kiyoko with big eyes.

“Is there a problem?” Kiyoko asked, noticing the way she looked like he was about to have a panic attack. 

“No!” She yelled. “No, it’s fine, it’s fine, I would love to go to a cafe with you.”

“Good.” Kiyoko smiled.

“Good.” Yachi murmured with a smile. “I will see you today.”

“See you.” 

Kiyoko was going back to his classroom, she noticed someone else was walking right next to her.

“Kiyoko-chan.” Yukie said with a smile. “Are you hiding your girlfriend?”

“Yachi is my friend.” Kiyoko responded with a confused look.

She knew that Yukie had a girlfriend, Kaori, they were cute together, so if someone of their friends would ask something like that it would be her.

“She looked more like a girlfriend, but I believe you.” Yukie said with a smile. “Are you even into girls?”

Kiyoko stopped walking to look at Yukie, the truth she hadn’t asked herself that question, or any question of the matter, Yachi was cute,  lot of girls were beautiful and cute, but also a lot of boys were handsome, she tried to think on what she would think of dating a boy, and then a girl. She didn’t dislike the idea.

“I think I just like people.” Kiyoko said finally.

Yuki nodded with a smile.

“You are playing matchmaker with Tanaka, but I think you should concentrate on your own love life too, I bet Yacchan would be a nice girlfriend for you.”

And just like that Yukie left Kiyoko alone in the hall, she started to think of the idea of dating Yachi, and maybe she liked the idea more than she originally thought. 

 

Komori was walking down the hall, he had been looking for him everywhere, and he was not picking up the phone, and he was starting to get worried. He saw his cousin in the middle of the hall talking with Atsumu, they talked a lot more, and he was happy for him, but now he needed to ask Atsumu.

“I’m sorry I don’t want to interrupt.” Komori says when he spotted next to them, Kiyoomi was killing him with his eyes. “Atsumu have you seen Suna?”

“Suna?” Atsumu asked, clearly still looking at Sakusa. “Nop, we didn’t have classes together today.” 

Sakusa pulled up his mask a little more, like he was trying to cover his red face, Komori would ask what they were talking about later, now he needed to know where Suna was.

“I think Samu maybe knows where he is.” Atsumu continued with a smile. “I saw him going to the bathroom.”

“Thanks Tsumu.” Komori ignored the way Kiyoomi was begging him with his eyes to fuck off. “You are the best man.”

“Aw Thanks!” Atsumu laughed.

“Didn’t you need Suna?” Kiyoomi said with a serious tone. “Go find him.”

“Okay okay, I’m going.” Komori said, lifting his hands in surrender. “We are going to talk later, Kiyoomi.”

Kiyoomi only gave him a not very nice gesture with his hand as Atsumu laughed. Komori went down the hall to enter the men restrooms, Osamu was there washing his hands in the sink.

“Hey.” Komori said, trying to sound nonchalant. “I wanted to ask you something.”

“Shoot.” Osamu responded looking at him in the reflection of the mirror.

“Have you seen Suna?” Komori asked. “He hadn’t picked my calls since yesterday, I didn’t worry at first, but now I’m kinda worried.”

“Sorry I haven’t seen him.”

“He can’t just disappear out of nowhere.” Komori said it like a half joke.

Osamu turned around and with the same neutral expression responded.

“The account did disappear out of nowhere.” Osamu responded.

The way he phrased it, he way he was looking at Komori, all showed that he knew, and he was just not telling him.

“Why did you say that?” Komori asked more defensively than he would have wanted.

Osamu shrugged “Maybe you should be more careful too, I don’t think the principal would be pleased to hear about Suna’s disappearance.”

Komori fell silent, incapable of saying any word, he thought Osamu was on their side, even if he was against the account he would be on Suna’s side anyway, but the way he talked the way he moved, everything indicated than he knew a lot more than he was saying.

“Have a good afternoon.” Osamu said as he walked out of the bathroom.

Chapter 41: Opportunity

Summary:

He had the opportunity to make him smile again and that was just as important to him.

Chapter Text

Ennoshita was walking to his home as he usually did, since he didn’t have any club activities, usually he walked home to go to the park to skate with his friends, but today most of them were busy, Noya had a date with Asahi, Mika and  Kanoka had to do something together, Yamamoto had detention this week for something that he did that Ennoshita didn’t bother to ask about it, even Yachi had something to do today.

“Hey Chika!” Tanaka screamed behind him. “Do you want to do something today?”

“We have exams this week.” Ennoshita responded looking at his friend. 

“Then let's study together!” Tanaka said with a smile. 

Ennoshita wanted to say no, he wanted that with all of him, because it hurted him being this close and that far away from him, but he couldn't deny it.

“Sure, why not?” Ennoshita sighed. “Your house?” 

“Yeah, Saeko missed you.” 

“Just Saeko?” He teased as he pushed Tanaka softly. “And I don’t know what you are saying, she never remembers my name.”

“She is just messing with you.” Tanaka laughed. “Nah, but I also missed you Chika.”

Ennoshita smiled as they walked to his house, they usually studied there with Nishinoya and Yamamoto, but it was the first time he went to Tanaka’s house alone. The house wasn’t that big, after all it was just Tanaka and Saeko most of the time, but it had a big garage where Saeko could fix her motorcycle. 

“I’m home!” Tanaka screamed, opening the door to take off his shoes.

“Ryu!” Saeko screamed from the kitchen when they arrived at the house. 

The two boys walked inside the house to find Saeko cooking something in the kitchen with a big smile on her face. Saeko was a beautiful woman, Ennoshita always thought that if he wasn’t in love with Ryu he would have fallen for Saeko. 

“I have a date so you are in charge of the food.” The girl said looking at her brother, then she noticed Ennoshita behind Tanaka. “Oh! Chikara-kun.”

“Hello, I’m here to help Tanaka for his exam.” Ennoshita said with a little smile.

“I’m glad my baby bro have someone like you, he is really dumb sometimes.” Saeko laughed.

“Saeko!” Tanaka said with his cheeks glowing with embarrassment. “Don’t you have a date or something.”

“Yeah yeah I’m going.” Saeko said. “It was nice seeing you Chikara, goodbye!”

They fell into an awkward silence now that Saeko was not with them, Ennoshita sitting at the kitchen table as Tanaka took care of whatever Saeko was cooking before they came home.

“So, does she have a boyfriend or something?” Ennoshita asked to break the silence.

“Two boyfriends.” Tanaka said with a smile.

“Two?” 

“Yeah, it’s a poly relationship, do you know Tsukishima’s brother?” Tanaka asked, proud of his sister.

“I think I heard something about him.” Ennoshita answered, the only reason that he knew it was because he is friends with Yachi and Yamaguchi.

“You know the little gigant, the guy Hinata admires, the one that played volleyball?” Ennoshita nodded. “Well she is dating both of them.”

“That’s really cool.”

“I can’t believe she got two boyfriends, before I even got one.” Tanaka said without erasing his smile.

“Do you want a boyfriend?” Ennoshita asked a little confused, not knowing if he meant a special other, or a boyfriend.

“Maybe.” Tanaka responded sincerely. “I’m mean, I’m not against it.”

“Oh, cool.” Ennoshita responded.

He tried his best not to smile, but he couldn’t control the stupid smile he had on his face. Because that meant he had an opportunity. 

 

He was walking from the library, even if it was supposed to be a place to study it was too loud there, and Shirabu wanted to find a place to study because he didn’t like studying in his own house, most of the places were busy with club activities, so he ended up walking in the small space that was behind the school. It was really small and the only thing there were a couple of small plants and grass.

Shirabu thought it would be a good place to study away from everyone else in the school, no one was near so it was in a nice silence as he walked there, he was about to turn in the corner to sit there when he started hearing something, it was a soft guitar strum.

He turned in the corner to see a guy sitting on the floor with his guitar, he was turning his back on him so he couldn't see Shirabu watching him. Even if he couldn't see his face he recognized Semi almost immediately.

A part of Shirabu wanted to run away, since Semi had been pretty clear that he didn’t what to see Shirabu anymore, but the other part of him wanted to ask about the song he found in his locker a while ago, but he actually didn’t want to know about the song yet, because he was not supposed to know about, so he was going to play dumb for now.

“Can I sit here?” Shirabu asked, raising his voice, trying his best to sound disinterested.

Semi almost threw his guitar out out surprise, he quickly turned around to check if it was actually him the one talking, Semi didn’t say anything, he just looked at him like he was trying to figure out what Shirabu actually wanted.

“I need a place to study, and this is the only place that is not full of annoying people.” Shirabu explained raising his hand to show the book of biology on his hand.

“Don’t you think me playing the guitar will be annoying while you study?” Semi asked.

Shirabu felt shivers down his spine, Semi’s voice was deep the same way he sounded in the train late at night when he was tired, Shirabu wondered if he sang with that same voice.

“I don’t think that’s annoying.” Shirabu responded finally.

He was lying, there was no chance that he could study with Semi playing his guitar and singing in his low voice, that was too distracting, but he was not going to waste an opportunity to be with him.

Semi runned his tongue over his lips, Shirabu didn’t know if Semi knew he did that every single time he needed to make a quick decision. Shirabu surprised himself with how much attention he paid to Semi to know all these things.

“I’m not going to stop you from studying wherever you want.” Semi responded as he turned around to look back to his guitar.

Shirabu took that as a victory for himself, as he walked to sit on the floor, not exactly close to Semi, but the space there wasn’t big either. He opened his book to start reading the chapter of his test. Semi looked busy playing his guitar, Shirabu recognized the song, even if he was trying his best to not pay attention to him, it was one song of his favorite band, Semi showed him the song one time, he had already forgotten the name of the song, but it was nice, and he liked the way Semi played it.

“Shouldn't you be studying too?” Shirabu asked without raising his eyes from his book.

Shirabu thought Semi wasn’t going to answer, after all he was tempting his luck just by being there.

“I don’t care about that.” Semi responded.

“Aren’t you here on a scholarship?” Shirabu asked before he could stop his tongue. 

“Yeah, but it’s not like I'm going to fail every exam.”Semi responded going back to look at his guitar. “Have you thought about what you are going to study?”

“I always wanted to study med.” Shirabu responded confident. “And you?”

“My parents want me to be a civil servant.” Semi said with sadness in his voice.

This time Shirabu stopped hiding in his book and decided to look directly at him, he looked sad, but his eyes were not meeting Shirabu’s.

“And what do you want?” 

Semi looked up, their eyes met for a second, it was like the world around them disappeared, for a second the things that Shirabu said didn’t matter anymore, the song that Semi had written didn’t matter, it was just that moment and that moment alone. It was intimate even when they were sitting away from each other.

“Music.” The way the words left his lips felt like he was holding those words back for a long time. “I just want to keep doing music.”

“I think you can be a great musician one day.” 

Semi smiled at him, Shirabu had the opportunity to apologize for everything again, but he didn’t do it, he just smiled back because asking for forgiveness felt like breaking the moment, but he had the opportunity to make him smile again and that was just as important to him.

 

Oikawa was in the park walking to his house, he wanted to talk to Ushijima that day but he had been busy all day, he actually didn’t see Iwaizumi at all, and now he was wondering if he went to class that day.  

“What?” Ushijima asked on the second he picked the call.

“How rude Ushiwaka.” Oikawa said as he sat down on one park bench. “I was calling because I’m worried about Iwa-chan.”

“And you think I know where he is?” Ushijima responded with his neutral tone.

“Well I don’t know, I can’t talk about this with Makki and Mattsun because they are also friends with him, and I don’t want to tell the guys, because that would mean telling them that we, you know.”

“We kissed Oikawa.” Ushijima said. 

“Ugh, don’t remind me, I lost my mind, I went crazy for a second, I would never kiss you again. Disgusting.” Oikawa said, he really didn’t know what he was thinking, it was like his brain malfunctioned for a second.

“Wait.” Ushijima said sounded a little worried. “Do you remember if your window was open at that moment?” 

“My window? I don’t know, probably.” Oikawa responded. “Why?”

Oikawa heard someone walking in his direction but he didn’t bother to turn around, since it was probably someone that was just walking by.

“Iwaizumi is your neighbor.” 

“Ushiwaka do you think Iwa-chan watch us kissing from his window?” Oikawa asked, raising his voice.

He didn’t know that Iwaizumi was not home that day, so actually he didn’t see them, but the thought of the possibility of that scared Oikawa. He was about to tell Ushijima something when he turned his head around to lock eyes with someone he knew, the person that was walking close to him, the same person that had heard everything that Oikawa had said. 

“I’m sorry I didn’t mean to eavesdrop.” He said and walked away quickly.

“Ushiwaka I fuck up.” Oikawa said with panic in his voice.

“What? why?”Ushijima asked worried with the sudden change of attitude.

“Tendou just heard me saying that we kissed.”

 

Chapter 42: Important or unimportant.

Summary:

"Nah, don’t worry about it, it was nothing important."

Chapter Text

Tsukishima’s house was not a mystery for him, he had been there too many times to even begin to count them, since he was a little kid he had been going to Tsukishima's house, he remembered all those days in summer playing around with Tsukki. Yamaguchi felt comfortable there, it was a nice place to be, so when he knocked on the door he did it with a smile on his face.

He expected to be received by the woman of the house, Tsukishima’s mother, who was usually the one that opened the door, because the blond usually didn’t open the door, he waited for Yamaguchi in his room.

“Tadashi-kun?” A soft voice asked. 

It was not Tsukishima’s mother, neither was Tsukki, but Yamaguchi smiled brightly, because he recognized the voice.

“Akiteru!” Yamaguchi said happily before jumping into the boy’s arm. “Tsukki didn’t tell me you were back!”

“Well, you know how he is.” Akiteru laughed, hugging Yamaguchi back. “You are taller!”

Yamaguchi really admired Akiteru, he was Tsukki’s older brother after all, even if he knew all the problems he had with him in the past Yamaguchi really liked Akiteru, he was like the older brother he always wished he had.

“Why are you back? I thought you would be back like in a month.” Yamaguchi asked when he had let go of him, he was taking his shoes off as he put his own pair of slippers he had there. 

“Yeah, but I had a date yesterday, so I decided to stay here for the weekend.” Akiteru explained with his signature big smile.

Sometimes Yamaguchi wishes Tsukki smiled more, because he was sure he had the same smile as his brother, that big, genuine smile, he usually didn’t see in Tsukki, and he wanted to see it more.

“Oh you have a girlfriend?”

“I still can’t believe someone agreed to date you.” The dry voice of Tsukki interrupted the conversation

Yamaguchi turned his head around to find Tsukki in the stairs looking at them with a bored expression. 

“Mean!” Akiteru said.

“Hi Tsukki!” Yamaguchi said with a smile.

“What took you so long?” Tsukishima asked, ignoring his brother.

“I was just catching up with Akiteru.” Yamaguchi responded. “You didn’t tell me he was back.”

“I hoped he would leave already.” The blond said as he turned around to walk to his room. “Are you coming?”

“Yeah,” Yamaguchi then turned around to look at Akiteru. “It was nice seeing you.”

“I said the same Tadashi.” 

Tsukishima’s room was nice, Yamaguchi loved the little stars on the ceiling, and all of the dinosaurs that were in the room.

“So Akiteru is dating someone?” Yamaguchi asked, because Tsukishima interrupted before he got an answer. 

“Yeah, he has a girlfriend and a boyfriend.” Tsukishima responded with a bored expression. “You know Tanaka-san’s sister?”

“Yeah, Saeko-san, she is really cool.”

“Well, she, somehow, is dating my brother, and you know that guy Hinata admired, the little gigant?” 

“Yeah, he doesn’t shut up about him.” Yamaguchi said with a smile, he let the words sink in before realising what he meant. “He is dating the little gigant?”

“His name is Tenma.”

“Woah, Akiteru is cool.” Yamaguchi said, receiving a tch from Tsukki. “What?”

“I just don’t understand why you like Akiteru that much.” Tsukishima said, obviously annoyed.

Yamaguchi laughed, he couldn't believe his eyes, Tsukishima Kei looked jealous.

“It’s unimportant.” Yamaguchi said in between his laugh. “It’s nothing. Just because he is your brother.”

“Yamaguchi.” Tsukki said in a tone that showed that he didn’t believe him.

“I swear it's nothing important!” Yamaguchi said, he caught his breath, but he still had a big smile on his face. “Fine, he was my first crush, it’s nothing important now.”

“Huh?” Tsukishima asked eloquently.

“I don’t know, it just happened.” Yamaguchi laughed. “Oh my god Yuuji was right I have a type.”

Yamaguchi was laughing, because for him that crush didn’t meant anything important, but Tsukishima couldn't feel the air in his lung, he was paralyzed, because he couldn't believe that his best friend, the guy that he had a crush on, had a crush on the past on his brother, who was better than him in every single way, the only thought in his mind was that maybe he never had a chance with Yamaguchi.

 

Tendou was on his room, he had just entered there, a part of his brain still hasn't processed at all what he hear this afternoon on the park, he was just going back home, when he heard Oikawa talking to someone, he hear Ushijima’s name so he got closer to hear what they were talking about, just to hear that they kissed.

The little voice on his head told him he already knew it, since that moment when Oikawa used Ushijima’s hoodie, and the way Ushijima talked abo him, even if he didn’t said his name, Tendou knew it, but he had convinced himself that he had a slim chance.

He took his cellphone and debated if he should call Semi, he would understand, he was sure if he asked nicely Semi would do whatever he asked, after all he was a good friend. So he after a couple of seconds decided to call Semi.

Tendou waited a couple of seconds before the call was picked up.

“Oh my god Tendou I was just about to call you!” Semi said, he sounded weird, euphoric if he had to guess.

“Why what happened?” Tendou asked, he would listen to what he wanted to say first.

“Okay, first, please don’t get mad at me.” Semi said, and only with that tendou knew.

“What happened with Shirabu now?” He asked, trying his best to put on his playful tone. 

“I know I told you I would not talk to him anymore, but he came today while I was playing the guitar, because he needed a place to study.” Semi started with his story.

“Did you two fuck behind the school?” Tendou asked.

“I fucking hate you, of course not.” Semi responded annoyed, but Tendou knew he was blushing, so he laughed.

“Then why would I be mad? You are a grown man SemiSemi, you can make your own decisions.” Tendou responded honestly, maybe he was a little disappointed that Semi allowed Shirabu to be back in his life, but not mad.

“I know, but I don’t know,” He said, contradicting himself. “I just felt like I needed to tell you that, we didn’t talk that much, but it was nice. I missed him.”

“You know, I will be by your side, even if he hurts you again.” Tendou said softly, Semi was his best friend, even if they teased each other constantly they were friends, and they worried for each other.

“I know, thank you.” Semi responded the same way. “Wait, you call me, shit, sorry did you want to tell me something?”

Tendou thought about it for a second, but if he was honest he didn’t felt like talking, it felt better just to listen, maybe in another moment he would tell Semi what he heard, but know he wasn’t going to talk.

“Nah, don’t worry about it, it was nothing important.” Tendou responded by faking a happy tone in his voice, but he was sure that Semi would know he was faking it.

“You sure?”

“Yup, tell me more about that brat, what did you guys talk about?”

He heard Semi talking for a couple of minutes before finishing the call, Semi did ask a couple of times if he was okay, and he brushed off those questions, the truth was he was not fine, but there was nothing he could do or say at that moment. 

 

Bokuto was walking, it was late at night, but he couldn't sleep so he thought about going out, and walking for a bit, his sisters were having a little reunion with their friends so he needed a quiet place, he was just looking at the stars completely relaxed, Tokyo’s air was so nice in the night, it was getting pretty late and he thought he could go for a while to Kuroo’s house, he just needed to turn left and then right through the park.

But when Bokuto turned left the park wasn't there. It took him a couple of seconds to realise that he was lost, he didn’t have a clue of where he was, and he didn’t take his cellphone with him, so Bokuto was lost, without his phone, in the middle of somewhere in Tokyo at night.

 He was so fucked.

He didn’t know when he distracted himself to the point of getting lost, he didn’t recognised the street he was, maybe because it was so dark, but he decided to keep walking, he will get to somewhere eventually.

He kept walking looking around for something that looked familiar to him, something like a store or the name of the street, he didn’t expect to recognize someone in the middle of the night.

He was standing outside of what looked like a cafe, that was obviously closed, he was tall and his dark hair was a little bit of a mess, even like that Bokuto recognized him immediately.

“Akaashi!” He screamed as he runned in his direction.

“Bokuto-san?” Akaashi asked notoriously confused, he wasn’t expecting him.

“You will not believe me!” Bokuto said with a smile, it was better than he could have even imagined, Akaashi was there. “I got lost.”

“I do believe you.” Akaashi said, he still looked confused like he hadn’t recovered from his initial shock.

“What are you doing here anyway, it’s pretty late.”

“Oh.” Akaashi responded. “It’s not important, do you need help to get to your house?”

“Yes please.” Bokuto said, as he smiled.

Akaashi smiled softly at him but looked anxiously at his phone, Bokuto may be a little dumb to get lost so close to his house, but he wasn’t as dumb as people made him look like, so he noticed the way that Akaashi was behaving was weird. He was probably waiting there for something, or someone. 

“Are you sure it’s nothing?” Bokuto asked. “If you are busy you can just give me instructions, it’s not necessary for you to come with me.”

“It’s fine, your house is not that far away anyway.” Akaashi said as he began to walk, his phone was still on his hand. 

“Okay, thank you.” 

They walked for a couple of streets in silence, Bokuto noticed that midnight walks were better in company, he wasn’t that fr away from his house, and he almost immediately recognized the street, he knew his way home from there, but he didn’t said anything so Akaashi would walk with him more.

Akaashi’s phone received a notification, he looked visibly uncomfortable, so Bokuto tried to ask again.

“Akaashi, you sure everything is okay?” Bokuto asked, this time he received an honest answer, Akaashi shaked his head slowly. “Okay, can you tell me?” He shaked his head again. “Oh, then can I do something?”

“Yes.” Akaashi said as he turned his head to look at him.

Bokuto loved Akaashi’s eyes, sometimes they looked grey, others at daylight looked green, but now, at the moonlight they looked like the deepest blue he had ever seen. 

“Please just don’t get mad at me.” Akaashi said softly.

Before he could ask what he meant by that he felt something soft on his lips, by the moment he noticed that it was Akaashi’s lips on his own he had already pulled away. It only lasted for a second, but it was just like his dreams, kissing Akaashi was just as perfect as he had ever imaginated. 

“Your house is down the street, maybe two blocks away.” Akaashi said as he started walking away. “Can I ask you for something else?”

“Anything.” He responded by impulse, a part of him wanted to kiss him again and again until his lips fell off, but he stayed there looking at Akaashi.

“If someone asks.” He said softly. “You haven’t seen me since friday.”

“What?” Bokuto asked, that was definitive not what he was expecting.

But Akaashi didn’t answer, he put his phone on his ear to take a call, as he disappeared into the night, going to some place that Bokuto didn’t know. Bokuto had the horrible feeling that he had missed important information and now he was more lost than when he didn’t know where he was.

Chapter 43: Assembly

Summary:

“It has come to my attention, the existence of an account, that has stained the good name of my students.”

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

It was early in the morning of monday, Hinata had just got off his bike and was walking to the main building, in his way he had said hi to Suga and Daichi, who had stopped to say hello to him to, he was going to his classroom, because he had biology in that first hour, and that was one of the only subjects he did pretty well for some reason.

“Where are you going?” A voice asked.

He quickly recognized the voice of Kageyama, Hinata turned around to smile at his friend.

“To class?” Hinata responded like it was the obvious answer, because it was, they even had that class together.

“There is no class right now.” Kageyama said, like Hinata was the dumbest person in the world. “There is an assembly.”

Hinata looked around to notice that in fact there were not many people in the classrooms, most of them were just talking in the hall, probably waiting for the assembly to start. 

“Oh, and what’s the assembly about?” Hinata asked.

He started walking in Kageyama’s direction, so they together could walk to the gym, were usually were the assemblies, it was not the the one that the volleyball club used, this one was the big one, specially for the big occasions, so that made Hinata curious, what could be so big that needed an assembly out of nowhere.

“I don’t know.” Kageyama responded simply.

“You always know nothing, YamaYama-kun.” Hinata laughed softly.

He tried his best to ignore the way Kageyama was looking at him, Hinata readed people better than people usually give him credit, but he always tried to ignore the signs he was receiving from Kageyama, because Tobio looked at him like he was a shining star, like he was something better than he actually was. A tiny voice in his head had told him that maybe Kageyama felt the same way he felt about him, but he couldn't be sure, because no matter how well he thought he knew the boy there was always something new.

They arrived to the gym quickly and they went to the zone where the other first years were standing, Yamaguchi and Tsukishima were away from the group, almost leaning into the wall talking together, probably gossiping about the rest of the group, Yachi was in the line talking with others girls, Lev was talking with Goshiki and Koganegawa, Kindaichi was there too, just watching them, because he didn’t look like he was actually part of the conversation.

Hinata and Kageyama stood there together, just waiting for the assembly to start. Shouyou thought about talking to Kageyama about his recent discovery feelings for him, because he believes he should be direct, also because he wanted to believe that nothing will change between them. 

He turned around to tell Kageyama if they could talk after school, or maybe even after the assembly, but when he turned his head he noticed Kageyama was talking to some else.

“This is why I hate you, Ki-Kageyama.” Kunimi said, for a fraction of a second Hinata saw him smiling, but then he went back to his blank expression.

Hinata knew the whole story, Kageyama had told him everything one day, since the death of his grandpa, from his failed relationship with Kindaichi and the way Kunimi hated him. But he knew that he and Kindaichi were talking again, Hinata didn’t know he had made peace with Kunimi, he even corrected himself, and didn’t call him King. Hinata didn’t understand how that happened, or why Kageyama had not told him about it.

Then he saw the way Kageyama was smiling, he didn’t smile often, but he looked pleased with himself, was that type of smile Hinata only saw in Kageyama when they were in the court, but he was there, next to him, smiling to Kunimi.

Hinata turned his head around and without doubt he walked away, to Yamaguchi and Tsukishima, he ignored the way Tsukishima killed hims with his eyes, he wanted to know if Kageyama would realize if he walked away, but when he turned his head, Kageyama was really concentrated in his conversation.

“Hinata are you okay?” Yamaguchi asked next to him.

“It looks like the King dropped you.” Tsukishima said, Yamaguchi elbowed him in response.

“Yeah, it looks like it.” Hinata murmured in response.

       

Suga and Daichi were standing next to each other, and with Asahi behind them, they were talking in low voice, because the gym was almost full, and in any second the assembly could start.

“Are you sad because you can’t go with your boyfriend on double dates?” Suga asked in a teasing tone.

“I wouldn't use the word sad, but Noya is really insistent in the topic of double dates.” Asahi said sounded a little tired. “I love him, but I don’t understand why he wants a double date so bad.”

“You know him, he would not stop until he has one.” Daichi laughed next to him.

“Why don’t you two talk about your issues and have that double date?” Another voice asked next to them.

“What are you talking about Kiyoko?” Suga asked looking at the girl, Kiyoko looked at the boy unfazed, he wasn’t shooting a warning with his eyes.

“Nothing I guess.” She responded, clearly they were playing dumb and pretting everything was okay between them. “Well Ashi, if you want I can have double dates with you.”

“Really?” Asahi asked with a shy smile.

“Wait with who? I thought you said you will never give Tanaka a chance.” Daichi asked, ignoring the first comment of the girl. “Did you change your mind?”

“With Yachi.” Kiyoko responded.

“Oh.” The three guys keep looking at the girl surprised. 

“I didn’t know, are you two dating?” Suga asked.

“I haven’t asked her yet, but we have been going on dates this weekend, but I don’t know if she knows those were dates.” Kiyoko responded sincerely.

“Yachi is a sweet girl, you two will look so cute together!” Suga said smiling.

“And on the topic of Tanaka.” Kiyoko said, turning her head to look at where the second years were standing, where Noya and Tanaka were doing something weird, and Ennoshita behind them looked so done with their shit. “I think he is going to be dating Ennoshita in no time, so Nishinoya and you can have more than one double date.”

“What?” Daichi asked.

“I kinda see that.” Suga laughed.

“Kiyoko you are a saint.” Asahi said with a smile. “I will tell Noya about you and Yachi, maybe we can go to the movies.”

“I would love that.” She said, and then she moved a little bit closer to Suga, to whisper in his ear. “And if you two stop being so stubborn and get your shit together, you and Daichi can be together too.”

Before Suga could answer, principal Washijō started talking.

 

“Good morning students, I have called this assembly to talk about a topic that has been disturbing the peace in this institution.” Principal Washijō said, for a man so short, he was really intimidating.

Oikawa was standing in the front of the line listening to the principal with a bored expression. 

“It has come to my attention, the existence of an account, that has stained the good name of my students.” The man continued.

“Pss!” Someone said behind him, Oikawa turned around to see Mattsun and Makki. “Have you seen Iwaizumi?”

Oikawa looked to the sides quickly, now that they told him, he had not seen him, in all morning, actually the last time he saw him was when they fought. 

“No.” Oikawa responded dryly.

Matsukawa and Makki looked at each other for a couple of seconds, they were not expecting that type of answer, yes they had thought they had fought, but neither of them thought it was this bad.

“He hasn’t answered our texts.” Mattsun said, hoping that would worry Oikawa at least a little.

“I don’t know anything to be honest, I haven’t talked to Iwaizumi.”

Now they were worried, Oikawa never called him that, for a second they thought that maybe Oikawa had killed him, but that was too crazy, he was mad, really mad, like he hadn’t been for a while, or at least he was acting like he was really mad.

 

“This account has been posting a series of videos, and photos of students, slandering them, and violating their privacy.”  The principal kept talking.

“Bokuto, have you seen Akaashi?” Kuroo asked next to him.

“Hm?” Bokuto asked, turning his head around.

“Kenma just texted me, he said he hadn’t seen Akaashi, so he asked me to ask you.” Kuroo explained in a low voice to his friend.

Bokuto was going to answer, when he remembered the conversation he had with Akaashi that day late at night.

“No, I think I saw him friday? But no sorry.” Bokuto said, trying to smile.

“I thought you would freak out.” Kuroo confesses.

“Why? Maybe he is just busy today.”

Kuroo looked at him for a couple of seconds like he wasn’t so convinced, but then proceeded to send a text back to Kenma saying that Bokuto didn’t see him either.

“This is why the account has been taken down.” Washijō said.

His words made a lot of whispers, people were commenting that nobody knew why the account had been taken down, and they didn’t have reason to not trust the principal.

 

“This is really fuckup.” Sakusa said to his cousin in a low voice.

“Yeah, really it is.” Komori said uncomfortable.

He wanted to be completely concentrated on the principal and what he was saying, but his eyes always ended up on Miya Osamu who was standing a couple rows to his right, he seemed to noticed the way Komori was watching him, because he turned his head to look Komori at the eye.

“So for the account owner, when we find you, you will be expelled from this institution, and we will take the case to the authorities.” The principal said.

Osamu didn’t open his mouth, he didn’t say anything to Komori, but he smiled, a smile that screamed ‘ I told you’. Komori froze, he didn’t know what was happening anymore, the situation was subreal to him, and the only thing he knew was that he needed to find Suna quickly. 

 

Notes:

This one took me longer than I expected, and I'm sorry, university is consuming my time, but I really want to finish the story, so I hope you all can be patient with me.
As always thank you so much for leaving kudos and comments, I love reading the comments that you all leave in this story. Thank you!!

Chapter 44: Deleted

Summary:

“Delete the account.” He said.

Suna opened his eyes slightly, but his expression didn’t change at all.

Notes:

This is a flashback!!

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

Osamu was walking down the hall of his own house, he had been prolonging the inevitable for too long, he needed to talk to Suna, about everything, about the things they both left for too long unsaid, about everything he heard, everything he saw.

He opened the door of the room of his twin, without even knocking before coming in. Atsumu was in his bed, with his cellphone in his hand, too concentrated on his screen to even notice Osamu was there. He heard a video playing in a loop, it sounded like a party, probably it was a video of that day.

“Stop watching that, it’s creepy.” Osamu said, making Atsumu jump of surprise.

“Fuck you, it’s not.” Atsumu said, pausing the video.

“You are in your room watching the video of you and Sakusa making out, when you can even confess to his face.” Osamu said with a bored expression. He could see the video paused in Atsumu’s screen.

“I just don’t understand how that happened.” Atsumu whispered looking away.

“Then ask, idiot.” Osamu said frustrated.

"I can't just ask!"

“I fucking hate that account, all it’s does it’s make more mess.” Osamu said, ignoring Atsumu's whining.

“Well it’s not like we know who runs it, even if you want the secrets account gone, you can’t do anything.” Atsumu responded.

“Right.” 

He looked at the instagram account that was opened in Atsumu’s phone, he needed to do something.

“I’m going to Suna’s.” He quickly said leaving the room.

He was down the hall when he heard Atsumu’s voice.

“I hope you fucking confess to him!” 

Suna’s house wasn’t that far away, but he practically ran there, because he was in the front door in less than five minutes, that had to be his personal record. Quickly he knocked the door, Suna appeared in the door in less that a minute.

“Hey.” Suna said a little confused about finding Osamu at his door.

“Hey, can we talk?”

“Yeah sure.” Suna opened the door to let him in.

He took off his shoes, and ended up following the boy upstairs, Osamu had been in Suna’s house a lot of times, and he enjoyed being there but now he was nervous. They were walking through the hall to go to Suna’s room, when a second door opened.

“Osamu!” A female voice screamed.

Osamu quickly felt the weight of a little girl that had jumped to his arms.

“Reiko, get off him.” Suna said with an annoyed tone.

“But Rin! Osamu is never home when I’m home!” The girl whined.

Suna Reiko looked just like his brother, had the same dark brown straight hair, and that fox-like eyes. Osamu knew that one day she will be just as beautiful as Rintarou

“Reiko, I promise I will be here more often, so we can play.” Osamu said with a little smile.

“You hear him, now let him go.” Suna repeated, but his sister only stuck out her tongue. “Reiko.”

“Reiko, I really need to talk to your brother, can we play another day?” Osamu asked softly, he had the girl still in his arms.

Reiko loved the twins, but she had a soft spot for Osamu, mainly because he made her food, she also loved Aran and Kita, since they usually spent afternoons in Suna’s house. The girl looked sad but she didn’t move, so Osamu asked again.

“Please?”

“Okay.” She jumped out of Osamu’s arm, and slowly walked back to her room. “Bye.”

“Bye Reiko.” Osamu said, as Suna tiredly opened the door of his own room to make Osamu enter.

Osamu entered the room of Suna, it looked the same as he saw it the last time he was there, without waiting for an invitation he sat down in Suna’s bed, the other boy without even blinking did the same.

“So…” Suna said in an attempt to break the silence.

Osamu took a shaky breath, now that he was there he noticed that it was no easy way of saying this, but he had to get his shit together, he needed to say that to Suna. He needed to say that now, so he turned his head around to look at the boy directly in the eyes.

“Delete the account.” He said.

Suna opened his eyes slightly, but his expression didn’t change at all.

“What?” He asked, his tone sounded confused, but Osamu could pick up he was faking it.

I know your secrets, that account.” He explained.

Suna was sitting in his bed calmly, his body language didn’t show that he was nervous, he looked relaxed, he even gave him a smirk.

“And why do you think I have that account?” His voice was soft and calm.

Osamu felt like he was having a competition, like Suna could win just by being calm, so he did all in his power to copy the relaxed posture of Suna when he talked.

“Because I have heard you talking with Komori.” He said slowly, like he was expecting some time of reaction that he didn’t receive. “About your plan.”

“What plan?” Suna asked.

He was challenging him, Osamu noticed, Suna wanted him to say it directly.

“The one you are doing with Komori, but it became complicated now that Iwaizumi said he quit.” 

Suna nodded before smiling, but the smile didn’t meet his eyes, it was like he was smiling because he didn’t know what else to do, so he chuckled, but it sounded more tired than anything else.

“I still don’t know what you are saying.” Suna insisted.

“Stop playing dumb.” Osamu said more harshly than he would have liked it. “Why did you create that shit?”

Suna this time didn’t respond, he looked away and Osamu took that as his answer.

“Can’t you see that you made a fucking mess?” Osamu continued, taking Suna’s silence as an invitation. “Really, I’m asking, can you see what you did?”

“I didn’t do anything.” Rin’s voice sounded tired, and annoyed, but he didnt raise his voice, and he hadn’t met Osamu’s eyes yet. “They did that themselfs, I didn’t force anyone to do what they did, I just posted it.”

“And that's the problem, you made things worse.” Osamu insisted

“Don’t shoot the messenger, I didn’t publish anything that wasn’t truth, people did thing that were fuck up, I just showed that to the world.” Suna explained.

“You didn’t have the right!” Osamu hissed frustrated.

“I don’t don’t understand what your deal is.” Suna said looking back at him.

Osamu forgot how to breathe when his eyes catched Suna’s, he was always so laidback, unbothered by the world, his eyes didn’t show many emotions usually, he always seemed to have something else in his mind when he was talking, but now he looked so broken. Suna’s eyes showed the hurricane of emotions he was feeling inside of him, anger, guilt, sadness, exhausting.

The younger Miya sighed.

“We are not going anywhere fighting like this.” Osamu declared putting his hands on his laps, finishing the fight that they were having.

“You don’t get it.” Suna said hoarsely.

“Look, if you ask me, I think you are having a God complex, I need you to understand that your account it’s hurting people Suna.”  Osamu said, this time with a soft voice, and slowly, not wanting to make the boy mad this time. “Maybe it’s not a big deal for you, but for a lot of people it has ruined their relationships and friendships.”

Suna looked away, this time with his eyes fixed on the window, internally Osamu was glad, he wasn’t sure he would be able to keep his seriousness if he kept watching Suna’s sad eyes.

“Do you think I don’t know that?” He asked so softly that Osamu thought he imagined. “What do you want me to do? It’s too late to turn back now anyway.”

“No it’s not, Rin, delete the account.” 

“Osamu.” Suna tried to interrupt.

“Hear me, please. You just need to get rid of anything that connects you to the account.” 

Suna laughed dryly, it was the most sad laugh Osamu had ever heard in his life.

“Do you know what you are asking me?” Suna asked.

“This got out of your hands, if you back out now, maybe everything will stop.”

“That's a big maybe.” Suna said, he didn’t even sound angry anymore, just tired. “There is a possibility that this shit it’s going to explode in my face anyway.”

“That’s why I’m saying that you should delete everything.” Osamu insisted.

Suna sighed. Osamu didn't eve know in which part of the conversation Suna stopped denying it was him the one behind the account, but he was glad he wasn't hidding anymore.

“Maybe you are right.” 

Osamu let out the air he was holding, Suna looked like he was really thinking about it, he wasn’t mad at Suna, he was worried, and a little offended that he had asked for Motoya’s and Iwaizumi’s help, and had not asked him. He was glad he was able to convince him to quit, Osamu was pleased with himself, until he noticed the small smile on Suna's face.

“I hate when you smile like that.” His words only made Suna smile more. “I was talking to you about this, this is important, I can’t believe you.”

“Yeah, I heard you, but I have a plan.” Suna said, he was more calm now, a little less sad, and a lot more confident. “What if everything disappears, including me?”

“What? Why would you do that?” Osamu asked confused, he really thought he had convinced Suna.

“It’s obvious that the principal will want to catch the owner of the account, but I need time to delete everything.” Suna explained.

“You realise people can sue you for this.”

“Yes, this is why I need this plan.” Suna said. “I need to text Iwaizumi and Akaashi, they will help me, I hope.”

“Akaashi is in this too?” Osamu asked horrified, all this time he talked with Akaashi and he had no idea.

“Just for the record, that wasn’t my fault.” Suna raised his arms to defend himself. “Anyway, I still need to repair the damage I made, just so you know, my plan was to help the relationships I destroy.”

“Really?” Osamu asked, surprised.

Suna looked away, this time with his cheeks a little red, he always wanted to show that he didn’t care about the people, but he was insisting on risking everything for a plan so he can repair the people he hurt.

“Yeah, I did a couple of things, I could do more, and if I get Akaashi and Iwaizumi to help me, maybe I can be done in just one week.”

“Are you going to tell Komori?” Osamu asked, noticing how he always only mentioned Akaashi and Iwaizumi.

“Maybe not, I need him for something, and I don’t think he would be too much help knowing.” Suna explained, as he quickly sent a couple texts. 

They stayed in silence for a couple of seconds, Suna’s eyes were fixed on his phone, as he was probably writing to one of the two boys.

“The account will be deleted by the end of the week, probably friday.” Suna said, putting his phone back in his pocket.

“What should I do to help you?” Osamu asked finally.

Suna raised an eyebrow.

“You don’t have to.” He said simply.

“But I want to.” Osamu insisted, looking at the boy.

“Are you good at acting?” Suna asked with a smile.

Osamu immediately regretted offering his help, but he didn’t back off, he was going to help Suna get out of this mess he made. Because Suna hadn't told him yet why he did this, and Osamu wanted to know that answer too. 

“Then, from monday at the first hour of the morning, you will hate me, with all your soul” Suna declared.

“I already do that.” Osamu joked.

Suna smiled at him brightly, like all of the burden on his shoulders had suddenly disappeared. He silently promised to himself that if he is able to get Suna out of this mess, he is going to tell him the truth, he can’t wait any longer, he is going to confess his love, if everything went right.

Chapter 45: Making things right

Summary:

Make things right, tell him the truth.

Chapter Text

The morning sun was shining bright on the sky, Tanaka walked with a smile on his face, all because he had passed his history exam, so he was happy, he just needed to pass his classes. Tanaka didn't care about having perfect grades. 

His eyes went to the girl that was walking next to him, her black hair looked almost blue in the sunlight, she walked in silence next to him, since Tanaka had asked to come with him in the recess. If he was honest he didn’t actually expect Kiyoko to show up, Tanaka almost had a heart attack when he saw Kiyoko standing in the door of his classroom, waiting for him.

Ennoshita was the one that told him that Kiyoko was in the door, he had to ignore the loud cheers of Yamamoto and Noya as he walked with Kiyoko down the hall. Now they were almost behind the school and none of them had said a world.

“Kiyoko, I wanted to tell you this since my first day in first year.” Tanaka started.

The girl opened her eyes slightly out of surprise, the way Tanaka asker her to come, the place, the way he was talking, it all sounded like a confesion, thing that weird out Kiyoko, because she strongly believed Tanaka had gotten over his crush on her.

“But I think I don’t feel like this anymore.” Tanaka continued. “I was deeply in love with you.” 

Kiyoko fell silent for a couple of seconds, she knew it, he had always been pretty vocal of his crush, but she also knew he had been looking at Ennoshita more, it’s not like he had told her this, but she noticed. Kiyoko almost laughed when she noticed that her plan with Yachi to make them fall in love would not work, because Tanaka was already in love with him.

“But you are not anymore.” She repeated softly, with a smile on her face.

“I felt like I couldn't move on, without telling you all of this.” Tanaka had his cheeks burning.

“I'm glad you told me, if that makes you feel better.” Kiyoko responded. “So you are planning to confess to Ennoshita?”

“How did you?” Tanaka murmured shooked, the girl only laughed softly in response. “I’m that obvious?”

“Yes.” Kiyoko said, still laughing. “But it’s sweet.”

“Thank you.” 

They were standing together as they laughed softly, Kiyoko knew that to the people around them it had to look like the typical confession, especially since anyone that has been breathing the same air as Tanaka knew that Kiyoko was a goddess in his eyes. 

Kiyoko thought this was a good day to ask Yachi out, they have been going on dates for almost a month, and she had made up her mind, she wanted to ask her officially. Kiyoko looked up with a smile, noticing someone was looking at them, he was away from them, but still in her field of vision.

“Tanaka, I noticed Noya acted like you were about to confess when he saw me in your classroom.” The girl said without taking her eyes off the boy that was looking at them. “He doesn’t know?”

“I haven’t told him yet.” Tanaka admitted. “I’m sorry if that made you uncomfortable.”

Kiyoko saw the boy that was watching them leave, but she still couldn't figure out how it was that, her vision was not perfect, so she couldn't see his features. But suddenly the realisation hit her.

“Go find Ennoshita, I think he saw us, and probably is thinking you are confessing to me.” Kiyoko said.

“Oh shit.” Tanaka said, turning around to look at where the girl was looking, but no one was there. “Bye Kiyoko thank you for everything!”

 

Ennoshita was running back to his classroom, he knew it was a bad idea, but for some reason he decided to follow them, all because Yamamoto and Nishinoya had told him that Tanaka was probably confessing to Kiyoko.

A part of him laughed at the tears that were starting to form in his eyes, why did he think he had a chance? clearly he was wrong, he misunderstood the signals, it was his fault. Even if Tanaka was interested in boys, he was not interested in Ennoshita.

“Chika!” He heard a loud voice streaming behind him.

Ennoshita didn’t turn back to look at him, but his feet didn’t move either, he stood there frozen.

“Chika, hey I wanted to tell you something.” Tanaka speaked, and he could hear the smile in his voice even without seeing his face. 

“I’m not in the mood, sorry.” Ennoshita said, forcing his voice to sound normal. 

Probably it sounded wounded, he felt like he was about to cry after all.

“What happened?” The boy asked softly.

Ennoshita really didn’t want to see his face right now, but his eyes didn’t obey him, he ended up looking at him directly, he looked so worried, so beautiful.

“I saw you by the way.” Ennoshita murmured, incapable of keeping his mouth shut. “Congratulations.”

“What?” 

“Noya said you were confessing to Kiyoko, and I saw you.” He responded, trying to talk like his words weren’t killing him.

“But I was not confessing to her, we were just talking!” Tanaka said, confused. “But what happened Chika, you look like shit, something happened? you still haven’t answered me.”

Ennoshita couldn't believe Tanaka was asking that seriously, that couldn't be right, Tanaka was not dumb, he had to put two and two together to realise that him confessing to Kiyoko was the reason why he was that sad, even if it was actually not a declaration of love. the boy closed his eyes and let out a shaky breath.

“Because I’m so in love with you that hurt.” He felt his eyes get filled with tears, but he didn’t allow himself to cry in front of Tanaka. “Can you please reject me so we can forget this happened?”

He was not expecting to feel Tanaka’s arms around him, Ennoshita could feel his breathing in his neck, Tanaka’s hands were holding his shirt like he was afraid that if he let go of him he would lose him. 

“How could I ever reject you?” Tanaka asked softly. “If I’m also deeply in love with you.”

 

“Yachi?” Kiyoko asked as she saw the little blonde walking right next to her.

Yachi had her head in a book in her hand that she dropped when she heard Kiyoko’s voice. Even if the two girls have been talking and going on dates for a while now Yachi always got nervous around the girl.

“Kiyoko!” She said surprised. “It's good seeing you here!”

“I say the same about you.” Kiyoko smiled at the girl. “I wanted to ask you something.”

“Yeah, sure, anything.” Yachi said.

Yachi was a cute girl, short, and shy, she had a heart of gold, and it was clear that she liked Kiyoko back, that was the reason why Kiyoko was happy of having a crush on her, Yachi was really her best option.

“I wanted to ask you if you wanted to make things official between the two of us?” Kiyoko asked softly with a smile, but straight to the point.

Yachi turned her head to the side, clearly confused.

“I mean, if we can make it official that we are dating?” Kiyoko asked directly.

She swears she saw Yachi’s soul leave her body, she was so red, like he was having trouble thinking.

“I’m sorry, I think I hallucinated for a second, what did you say?” Yachi asked with a smile.

“Yachi, do you want to be my girlfriend?” Kiyoko asked this time slowly. 

Kiyoko had her doubts for a second, fearing that maybe she misread the signs, but then Yachi smiled at her like he had just seen the sunlight by the first time.

“I would love to!”

“Then what if we have our first official date?” 

Kiyoko knew that Yachi would have said yes, but she asked anyway, was so happy that she got closer to the girl to hold one of her hands in hers as she laughed softly. Yachi covered her smile with her free hand, covering also part of her cheeks that were burning red, as a cute giggle let out her lips, she was adorable.

“I know a place we can go, if you are interested.” 

“I would go anywhere.” Kiyoko said, putting their foreheads togethers. “I would go anywhere that you want, Hitoka.”

She expected Yachi to die out of embarrassment as she said her name, but she received a bright smile from the blonde, as she quickly gave her a quick kiss on her cheek.

“Then I see you later.” 

Kiyoko stood in the hall with a smile on her face as she watched Yachi walk to her classroom.

 

Yaku was in his classroom, even if the class had already ended, he didn’t feel like standing up to walk to his house. But it was getting late and he couldn't possibly stay there all afternoon. lasily he took his phone out of his pocket. 

The first thing that came to his view when he opened his phone was the page of one of the universities he had been reading about, he groaned suddenly remembering it, that was the reason why his phone was in his pocket in the first place. Yaku was about to put the phone back when he received a notification of a message on his instagram. 

He didn’t recognize the profile, it just said “Secrets” in the place the name should be, curious he opened the message.

Make things right, tell him the truth.

That was the first message that appeared. As soon as he finished reading that, the next message appeared.

Go to the classroom 003E, he will be there.

Yaku didn’t understand what was all of that, why this person was sending him these cryptic messages, he was going to block the person when three imagenes appeared, he recognized them in the second. It was the picture the secrets account posted of him and Lev, but now that he looked at them closer, these were not the same pictures, it looked like they were talked by the same person. 

He tried to write a response, but the weird account had already blocked him, so he couldn't answer.

Yaku was still in his seat looking lost, he wondered if the message was right, and Lev was waiting for an answer in room 3E, Yaku doubted it, but anyway he got up from his chair and started walking down the hall, in direction of the classroom.

He opened the door expecting to see the classroom empty, but he was there, tall as always, looking bored at his phone.

“Lev?”

 

Chapter 46: Apologizing

Summary:

“If you are sorry, why do you keep pushing me away?”

Chapter Text

The school in the afternoons was so peaceful, it always looked like nothing bad could happen, even the air in the room felt calm, he could barely hear the sound of the people playing in the volleyball club, his eyes were fixed on the tall boy with grey hair. He wasn’t exactly expecting Lev to be there, he was expecting someone playing a prank on him.

The young boy opened his eyes in surprise when he heard his name. And the relaxed attitude that he had a second before changed, now Lev looked uncomfortable and anxious.

“Oh, I should be going.” Lev murmured looking back to his phone, more like he was talking to himself more than he was talking to Yaku.

Yaku hated himself, why couldn't he turn back time to apologise when he needed to apologise, he wanted to tell Lev to stay by him the last time he had him in front of him, he should have gone behind him, not let him go away, but he did. He wanted to go back to the day he screamed at Lev and asked him to leave him alone, he should have apologized right there. He wanted to go back to that day at the party. He did so many things wrong, that now he was scared that it was too late to apologize.

“Lev.” He repeated the name, because he didn’t know what else he could say. 

His mind went back to that night, he didn’t remember how everything started, but he remembered looking for Lev everywhere, how he found him crying in the park, how he had to apologize, because he was a shitty person and he was the reason why he was crying.  Yaku also remembered Lev’s words. 

“You told me you liked me.” Yaku didn’t realise the words left his mouth until he noticed the way Lev was staring at him.

“What?” The boy asked.

Yaku wanted to throw himself out of the window, he didn’t want to start the conversation this way, but it looked like he didn’t have a choice. 

“I lied.” Yaku said, that wasn’t a good start either. “When I told you that I didn’t remember that night.” 

They were standing so far away, Yaku was in the door and Lev was in the middle of the classroom, and still the air was suffocating. Lev was not looking at him, he was looking at something in the wall, but he didn’t show any sign that he wanted to leave, or that he wanted Yaku to shut up, so he took that as an invitation to continue. 

“To be honest I don’t understand how you can like someone that everytime that sees you has to apologize for being a horrible person.” Yaku said.

He has tried to apologize three times now, and all of those were failures, he didn’t even know if this counted as a proper apology.

“I’m sorry.” He said finally. “And I know you don’t want to hear me saying it, but I’m really sorry, for screaming at you at the party, for denying the things that happened after that, for asking you to get away from me, for not going after you.”

Lev didn’t say anything, and if he didn’t speak to Yaku for the rest of their lives he was not going to blame him, but Lev didn’t move. Yaku didn’t know what else to say, he wanted to have some type of reaction from Lev first.

The young boy slowly moved his head, to fix his eyes on Yaku, he looked so sad, even if he was not crying he looked equally or more sad than he saw him crying in the park.

“Why?” Lev asked softly. 

“Why am I sorry?” Yaku was confused, he thought he was being clear with the reason why he was apologizing.

“No.” Lev talked away. “If you are sorry, why do you keep pushing me away?”

Yaku stood there in silence, of course he knew the answer, but he didn’t know if he wanted to say it out loud.

“Because I’m a coward.” Yaku admitted, still not saying all of his truth, and Lev noticed that.

“Why?” Leve insisted.

“Because I keep running away, because I’m scared of taking risks, because I worry too much about the future.” Yaku let out a shaky breath. He had come too far to turn back now, he was going to say it all. “Because I graduate this year, because that will mean that I have to leave you behind.”

Lev started walking in his direction, he was walking to the door, probably wanting to leave, even if he was done with the conversation Yaku didn’t stop talking.

“Because I was scared of falling in love with you, so keep pushing away, but it was too late, and I got more scared of hurting you that I didn't realise I already hurt you enough.”

Lev stopped walking, he was right next to Yaku, looking in direction of the open door, Yaku thought he was going leave, but Lev was just standing there.

“You what?” Lev asked softly.

“I’m in love with you.” Yaku said. 

This was never the way he expected to confess, both with tears in their eyes. 

“But I’m going to college next year, so I was scared.” Yaku talked, now more desperate now that Lev didn’t respond. “Because I don’t want to go to a college here, I was planning on moving out, and I didn’t want to make you go through all of that.

“Yaku-san.” Lev interrupted softly. “You know relationships are of two people right?”

“Hm?”

“What if I wanted to take the risk?” Lev asked looking at the short boy directly at his eyes. “What if I wanted to be with you?”

“Why?” Yaku asked more hurt than he thought he would be. “I don’t deserve a chance.”

“Maybe, but I do forgive you.” Lev said with a smile. “So if you change your mind, about the dating thing, before you graduate, I’m willing to try.” 

Yaku looked up, Lev's smile was bright, he hadn’t see that smile in a long time, so without doubt he jumped into the boy’s arms.

“Thank you.”

Yaku didn’t say if he wanted to date Lev yet, he was still unsure, but Lev didn’t push the subject, he was happy just holding the third year in his arms.

 

“I don’t want to go, I feel like I’m sticking my nose in something.” Osamu said over the phone.

He was walking down the halls in the afternoon, on the other side of the call was Suna, who was using the cellphone of his little sister, since his phone is momentarily out of service.  Suna laughed softly.

“Come on! I just need to know if that worked or if I have to think another thing.” Suna said, Osamu could imagine him lying in his bed in a position that was bad for his back just by hearing his voice.

“How do you know about these two? I don’t think you are close to either of them.” Osamu  asked without stopping his walk.

“Akaashi.” Suna responded simply like that answered all his doubts.

“Oh, so he agreed to help you?” Osamu asked even if it was clear that Akaashi agreed. “Why do I feel like you are blackmailing him?”

“Ha ha, why do you think so bad of me?” Suna asked in a teasing tone.

“Wow, I wonder why.” Osamu was arriving at the door, but he didn’t stop talking. “So did Akaashi know about these two?”

“Yeah, he is friends, with this guy, uh, Kenma?” Suna said unsure if that was the right name. “And for what I heard, he is close to Lev, so Akaashi knew the whole story, so he told me that they just needed to talk, so let’s hope that works.”

Osamu stayed there in silence, he discreetly looked inside of the classroom, he could see a tall boy and a short one talking in low voices, they were hugging and looked like any issue that was between them was not resolved.

“Looks like Akaashi was right, I think they sorted out their problems.” Osamu said as he walked away so no one could hear him.

“Good.” Suna said, sounded clearly pleased with himself. 

“Now that we are talking, can you tell  Komori about you plan, I think he is plotting my murder.”

“You said that like Komori doesn't have a plan to kill everyone one of us.” Suna said laughing louder. 

Samu missed Suna laugh so much, he didn’t even remember when was the last time he heard him laugh genuinely.

“And I will tell him after we get Atsumu and Sakusa together.” Suna continued.

“Why if we just put them together inside a closet and hope for the best.” Osamu suggested, laughing too.

“Yeah maybe we should, you know what, that’s plan B.” 

“Awesome.” Osamu looked around, noticing that no one was close to him, maybe he should go back home. “I'm going home, text me if you need help with something else.”

“I will.”

“I fucking hate you.” 

“You don’t.”

“Nah, I don’t.” Osamu confirmed with a smile on his face. “Goodbye Suna, stay out of trouble while I’m out.”

“I don’t promise anything.”

Chapter 47: Patience

Summary:

I don't know how patient can you be, when you are running out of time.

Chapter Text

The tapping noise of his keyboard was the only thing that made sound in the room, Suna was laying in the floor of his own room as he copied the homework Osamu had send him, next to him was Akaashi sitting on his bed with his cellphone in his hand, in the desk was Iwaizumi who was finishing his english homework.

Suna didn’t raise his eyes when he heard Akaashi standing up from the bed, they usually didn’t talk too much when they were together, but it wasn’t uncomfortable either.

“I should be leaving now.” Akaashi said in his low and calm voice.

“Goodbye.” Suna responded.

“Have a good afternoon.” Iwaizumi said with a smile. 

The room stayed in silence as Akaashi left the room, Suna pretended he was still concentrating on his homework, but the fact that he was not typing showed that he was in fact paying attention to Akaashi as he left the room.

“Well,” Suna said when it was just him and Iwaizumi in the room. “Who is the next victim?”

“Don’t say it like that.” Iwaizumi responded but he didn’t sound necessarily angry, more like tired. “And why did you wait until Akaashi left to ask?”

“Akaashi was the one that helped more with Lev’s situation, so now it’s your turn.” Suna explained as he put his laptop to the side to look to Iwaizumi.

“Why don’t you do it then? since you are the one that started this shit.” 

Suna just laughed in response, not like he was expecting another reaction, he did fuck up by starting the account, he didn’t denied it. 

“My plan requires a little bit of time, if I intervene right now, I will probably fuck things up more.” Suna admitted.

He actually wanted to get Sakusa and Atsumu together as fast as he could, but he couldn't just do it, and now that Osamu has been telling him that Komori is worrying more than he had thought he would he couldn't just intervene so he was going to wait for a while. 

Iwaizumi stood there in silence for a couple of seconds, he looked like he was trying to decide if Suna was being serious or if he was playing some type of joke, but after what felt like minutes he sighed taking his phone out of his pocket.

“I think we can start with Matsukawa and Hanamaki.” Iwaizumi said. “They think the other one is joking, they are so dumb.”

“Ah, the guys that fuck in my bathroom, I remember them.” Suna responded with a smile. “I like them, so what should we do?”

“I don’t know, they act like they are already dating.” Iwaizumi sighed. “Maybe  we should let them figure it out on their own and start with someone else?”

“What about Kunimi?, you told me you knew him.”  

“I mean, yeah, but what could we do?” Iwaizumi asked.

Suna started looking in his phone, he had a folder of videos that he planned to post before Osamu made him delete it. Suna looked at every video trying to find the one that had Kindaichi in it, he had filmed that video one day late at school because he thought the conversation could be useful one day, now he knew he was right. 

“Kunimi, from what I heard from Hanamaki, is not talking to Kindaichi, apparently they had a fight over something.” Iwaizumi explained vaguely.

“What if we send this video to Kunimi?” Suna said as he sent the video to Iwaizumi. “I think this will make them talk.”

iwaizumi watched the video in silence, before giving a sharp look at Suna.

“How do you get all of these videos?” Iwaizumi asked, but Suna just shrugged. “But, yeah I think it can work.”

“Awesome, I will send it tomorrow.” Suna looked at the boy, he was one year older, he was a lot shorter than him, but Iwaizumi still had that intimidating aura around him, but he wasn’t a bad person, Iwaizumi was in fact a nice person to be around. “Hey, I wanted to ask you this for a while.”

“Shoot.” Iwaizumi responded.

“How did you know it was me behind the account?” Suna asked, lowering his voice.

He remembered the shock he felt when Iwaizumi out of nowhere stopped him in the middle of the hall to tell him that he knew it was him, and not only that, Iwaizumi offered his help in the account. 

“Oh.” Iwaizumi seemed a little surprised with the question. “Well, you created the account the same day as the party didn’t you.”

“I mean yeah, but I didn’t use it until a month later.” 

“I saw it, maybe you thought I was too drunk to remember it, or you didn't see me, but I was one of the last persons to leave the party.”

Suna thought for a while, trying to do his best to remember the last part of that night, he didn’t remember much, but indeed he remembered Iwaizumi leaving.

“You left the party with Oikawa, yes I remember.” Suna murmured. “Talking about Oikawa…”

“No.” Iwaizumi interrupted. “You stay out of that.”

“I was just going to suggest something.” Suna responded, lifting his hands showing that he surrendered. “Like send him that video.”

“Suna, no.” Iwaizumi repeated more harshly. “That’s my problem, and I will resolve that later, I just need to be patient.”

“Fine, as you wish.” Suna said before taking his laptop again, to start typing. "I don't know how patient can you be, when you are running out of time."

 

The movie had been paused a long time ago, the two boys were on the sofa making out, if someone asked what the movie was about they would not be able to tell, because even when the movie was playing neither of them were paying any actual attention to the film.

Matsukawa and Hanamaki hadn't talked about their feelings yet, but they started making out with more frequency, now neither of them blamed the alcohol, but apart from that they hadn’t talk yet about what they really wanted to talk, because they were scared, so for now they danced in the fine line between friendship and romance that they have created.

The sound of the doorbell ringing interrupted them.

“Just ignore it.” Hanamaki murmured quickly, trying to get back to the mood, but the person behind the door was getting insistent with ringing the doorbell.

“Just go get the door.” Matsukawa responded with his raspy voice, which made Hanamaki not want to stand up. “Takahiro.”

“Fine.” 

Hanamaki stood up and walked to the door, ready to scream at the rude person that kept ringing the bell of his house. 

“What took you so long?” The person asked as soon as he opened the door.

“Oikawa?” Hanamaki asked.

“You and Mattsun weren’t picking the phone so I assume you two were here.” Oikawa responded as entered the house and took his shoes off.

Hanamaki sometimes hated Oikawa, not only he was interrupting, but he had guessed they were together, which made him more angry than anything, Oikawa was too good at reading people, which was unfair.

“Oikawa?” Mattsun questioned when he saw him enter the living.

“Hi.” He responded with a smile as he sat down on the sofa. “I have a problem.”

“That’s not new.” Hanamaki said as he sat down, there was nothing he could do, he was going to wait until Oikawa left to finish what he and Mattsun were doing. 

“Very funny.” Oikawa murmured. “Well, actually this happened, days ago, but I didn’t want to tell you because I was afraid you would tell Iwaizumi.”

“Shit I feel like this conversation is going to be more serious than I thought I would be.” Mattsun said, but his comment was ignored by the other boys.

“We haven’t seen or heard from Iwaizumi all week.” Hanamaki said, looking at Oikawa directly at his eyes. “Does this have to do with him being missing?”

“I hope not.” Oikawa responded honestly. “Just promise you will not tell him.”

“We promise.” Mattsun said as he looked at his friend with kind eyes.

Oikawa looked despertad, the last time they spoke to Oikawa he sounded angry, now they knew he was covering his worries with the mask of annoyance.

“I don’t know what happened with Iwaizumi, I believe he is fine, his mother still says hi to me everyday, so I don’t think anything bad happened to him.” Oikawa explained. “And actually this it’s not directly related to him.”

“Oikawa tell us, we are not going to judge.”

“Maybe we will laugh a little, but you know you can trust us.” Mattsun said, making Oikawa smile a little.”

“Okay.” He said as he took a couple of breaths. “Maybe I kissed someone, and fuck up his possibilities with the guy he likes because, he heard us talking about that?”

Oikawa said it as quickly as he could, but the other two had heard him loud and clear.

“And I didn’t want to tell you, because I thought everything will be fine, but I feel so fucking guilty.”

“Wait,” Hanamaki said with a smile. “You and someone else make out, and this person's crush knows this, what’s the problem? Like, why is a big deal?”

“Yeah, how bad can it be?” Mattsun asked. “Did you kiss Suga? Like you always flirt with him as a joke.”

“Maybe it was Kuroo, you two had a weird tension last year.” Hanamaki continued, ignoring the way Oikawa was looking at them.

“You know what would be funny?” Mattsun asked, looking directly at Makki. “Kageyama.”

“Stop, that would be so funny.” He laughed, but he stopped when he noticed the look in Oikawa’s eyes. “Shit, is Kageyama?”

“No, of course no.” Oikawa responded. 

“Then?”

“Ushiwaka.” Oikawa said, looking away.

The two boys froze in their place, even if they could joke from time to time, they never will believe in Oikawa and Ushijima together, even when the secret account made it look like they were dating, Makki and Mattsun didn’t believe in that. 

“What?”

“Yeah, it just happened.” 

“It’s not that bad, I mean, it’s not like you are actually dating Iwaizumi.” Hanamaki tried to make it sound like this was a good scenario. “It’s not like you are cheating on him.”

“We are neighbors, I haven’t seen him, he could have seen me and Ushiwaka kissing from his window.”

“I’m pretty sure he was at the gym, it’s not like he likes to spend a lot of time in his house.” 

“What can I do?” Oikawa asked, more calm with Mattsun words.

“Nothing, be patient, like I’m sure you two need to talk about a lot of things, but him time too.”

“Yeah, what if we don’t fix this before we graduate?” Oikawa asked, trying to keep his voice from shaking. “I can’t lose Iwa-chan.”

“Then, in the right moment, tell him the truth, Oikawa, and let him tell his truth too.” 

"What if I the right moment doesn't exist?" He asked looking at his friends with tears in his eyes. "I going to leave this country after graduation, what if I don't see him again?"

"Just wait, there is nothing else you can do."

Chapter Text

Akaashi let the air he had in his lungs as he entered the school, he had been a week out, all because he had decided he was going to help Suna in his stup plan, not that he had another option, since Suna had proof to show that he was the one that send the video to the account.

Akaashi sometimes hated his luck, he had spent a whole month looking for who was the person behind the account because he was afraid that this person showed the world what he did, but suddenly this mysterious person wrote to him, to ask him for help. And this person was Suna.

He already knew Iwaizumi was behind the account too, at least helping, so when he went that night to Suna’s house and found Iwaizumi there too it didn’t surprise him, what did surprise him was the fact that the older boy had lied to him. When he and Bokuto had asked Iwaizumi if he knew who the person behind the account was, he lied, but now the three of them were in this mess, and they needed to fix all of this before the year finished. 

He felt like all eyes were in him as he walked to his classroom, but the rational part of his brain told him that probably no one was looking at him and was just a trick that his mind made because of his nervousness. His classroom was really empty actually, maybe because Akaashi was early, in one of the last seats of the class was Suna.

He was sitting in a position that just by looking made his back hurt, in the second Suna noticed Akaashi entering the classroom, he smiled in his direction, to give him a wink, Akaashi rolled his eyes in response.Next to Suna, the Miya twins looked at each other confused, they have never seen Akaashi act that way, or them interacting in general. 

Akaashi sat down in his usual seat waiting for the class to start, Kenma arrived five minutes later, he had his head on his phone as always, so he sat down without even looking at Akaashi once.

“Good morning.” Akaashi said.

Kenma jumped in his seat like a cat, and looked at his friend in shock.

“Oh.” Kenma said as he calmed himself. “I didn’t see you there.”

“I noticed.”

Kenma put his cellphone in his pocket, even if he was not directly looking at Akaashi he could tell he was centering his attention on him, so Akaashi looked at the boy waiting for him to tell him what he was thinking, because he had the feeling that was serious. 

“You were out a week.” Kenma comentend, sounding nonchalant.

“Yes, I’m aware.” He responded trying his best to not show his rising anxiety. 

“Do you need my notes?” Of all the things that he thought Kenma would ask, that question was not one of them. “I tried my best to make them readables. Because I know you like to pay attention to class.”

“Oh,” Akaashi said eloquently. “thank you.”

Akaashi took the papers from Kenma hands, the notes look really good, especially when you consider the fact that they were fromm Kenma, they were not as organized as Akaashi liked but he was so thankful for having a friend like him.

“I guess you are not telling me where you were all week.” Kenma said as he for a little second looked at Akaashi at the eyes, but he quickly looked away.

He was not asking for an answer, he had already assumed that Akaashi was not going to answer that question.

“I’m sorry.” Akaashi responded instead.

Kenma nodded softly. “Also I know Bokuto knows something.”

“What do you mean?” Bokuto in fact didn’t know much, he didn't see him or say anything to him since that night.

“He acts weird when we ask for you.” Kenma seemed to think for a couple of seconds before smiling softly. “Or maybe something happened between you two.”

“Something like what?” He asked hoping that his face didn’t show any emotion that could give Kenma the idea that something had happened.

“I don’t know what you tell me.” Kenma didn’t wipe the smile from his face as he spoke. “So are you two dating?”

Akaashi wanted to respond, but the worlds didn’t leave his lips for some reason, giving Kenma his answer.

“No actually.”

“Huh.” Kenma didn’t sound convinced at all. “But something did happen.”

“Maybe.” Akaashi responded. “When are you confessing to Kuroo?”

Kenma took his phone out of his pocket, pretending he didn’t hear Akaashi, the boy didn’t get to repeat his question because at that moment the teacher entered the classroom.

 

Kenma wasn’t hungry at lunch time, Akaashi had long ago left his side, so he was on the floor of a distant hall playing with his phone, he was sure Akaashi had gone to have lunch, probably with Bokuto. He didn’t mind being alone, especially since he was stuck in that level and needed time to finish it. 

“So here you are.” A voice said in front of him.

In surprise Kenma tapped the screen making his character's death counter increase. 

“Kuro.” Kenma said, a little annoyed.

“Hey, I was looking for you.” Kuroo responded completely unbothered by the tone the boy used.

He didn’t even blink and he noticed the look Kenma was giving him as he sat down next to the boy.

“Were you looking for me just because you were third wheeling?” Kenma asked, looking back at his phone.

“Yeah, Bokuto and Akaashi are a mess, it's so funny.” Kuroo made a sound like a hyena as he laughed, but that was just his normal laugh. 

The first time Kenma heard Kuroo laughing he thought it sounded obnoxious now he thought it was cute. He was really fucked up.

“Oh, I thought you missed me.” Kenma responded in a teasing tone with a little smile.

“I always miss you KenKen.” Kuroo said with a smile on his face.

Kenma didn’t say anything, he rested his head on Kuroo´s shoulder to play his game.

“Would you like me to be here in silence, or you rather hear me talk?” Kuroo asked as he softly raised his hand to play with Kenma’s hair. 

“I like hearing you ramble.” Kenma responded in a low voice, but loud enough that Kuroo could hear him. 

Kenma started playing again, but he couldn't concentrate too much because the sound of Kuroo's voice was so soft it was almost like a purr, and he could feel the vibration with his head and body resting in Kuroo. Actually he was paying more attention to what Kuroo was saying than his game.

“-And I don’t understand why this teacher is so obsessed with me.” Kuroo said as he finished his anecdote chemistry class. “And you know another thing that I never understand is Yaku’s obsession with my love life, just because he and Lev are on good terms now he doesn’t get the right to rub it in my face.”

Kenma already knew about that, Lev had called him that same day, extremely happy that Yaku had not only apologized to him but also he had admitted that he had feelings for him. And Kenma was happy for him, he truly was.

“Like why is he so mad? I am happy being a coward.” Kuroo continued. 

Kenma wondered if Kuroo knew what he was saying, when he rambled he talked no stop without realising what he was saying, so at the end Kuroo never remembered talking about the things he said. 

“I just don’t want to ruin our friendship just by confessing.” Kuroo said as he  kept playing with Kenma’s hair.

But Kenma moved to turn around to look at Kuroo.

“What?” Kenma asked.

“Huh?” Kuroo responded confused.

“What do you mean by that?” Kenma asked. “Ruin whose friendship?”

“Oh you were listening to me.” He sounded a little confused in why Kenma was behaving that way so suddenly. Kuroo started thinking back on the things he said. “Oh.”

“Confessing to who?” Kenma asked again.

“No one, I was just talking.” 

“I don’t believe you.”

“It’s getting late, I should go back to look for Bo.” Kuroo said as he standed up. 

Usually Kenma wouldn’t insist on being told something, especially when Kuroo looked so uncomfortable, but now he needed to know. 

Kuroo was ready to run away, but he felt the hand of Kenma grabbing his wrist.

“Do I need to do it all myself?” Kenma asked with a little smile that he couldn't see because his hair was in the way, but he could hear it in his voice.

“What?”

“Can you let me confess before you run away?” 

“Kenma?” Kuroo asked, his cheeks were glowing red, he had never seen Kuroo so embarrassed before, it was adorable.

“I’m in love with you.” Kenma said, he said it with a clear voice, he had never sounded so sure before. “I have felt this way for too long, and I was planning to never tell you, but now you know.”

“You what?” Kuroo asked with a shaking voice.

“You really didn’t know? It was pretty obvious, everyone knew.” Kenma pulled his hand away, a rush of anxiety invited him, god he really needed to shut up, but he couldn't stop his words. “A lot of people told me I should confess before you graduate, so I did.”

“Kenma, you know how long I have been in love with you?” Kuroo asked suddenly out of breath, but with a big smile on his face.

“Probably since the day you teached me volleyball.”

“How did you know?!” Kuroo asked. “Have you known all this time?”

“Actually I didn’t know before today.” Kenma shrugged. “I just guessed.”

Kuroo laughed happily, he couldn't believe all this time they were just two idiots mutually pinning into each other.

“Can I ask you for something?” Kuroo asked.

Kuroo was standing looking at Kenma, who struggled to maintain eye contact.

“Sure.”

“Would you let me kiss you?” He asked softly as he walked closer to the boy.

“Anytime.” Kenma responded with a smile.

Softly and slowly, the same way they had builded that friendship, they finally kissed.
