"Seriously, Konoha. It's the day before summer camp. Stop sleeping here. And I know you've been going through my room. And stop teasing me for liking Akaashi."

You stood by your desk. You went through the line again in your head, finally satisfied.

"You know, it's funny how you rehearse what you're going to say before you say it." 

You turned to see the 'jack of all trades, master of none' of Fukurodani's volleyball team leaning on your door frame.

"KONOHA!" you screamed at the top of your lungs. Snatching the nearest thing you could get - a pencil - you lunged at him. He ran away, making a face.

You chased him as he made for the front door. 

Konoha dodged the pencil and held your arm so you could no longer stab him. 

"I'm going now, okay?" He sighed, bending down to slip on his shoes. Konoha patted your head lightly and walked out.

You sighed.

Good riddance.

These days, Konoha brought you everywhere. He was one of your favourite characters, and he was helping with Akaashi, but it felt like...he was trying to get too close to you.

You threw yourself on the bed.

Holy shit, I'm dead. I'm so tired.

You closed your eyes.

It was the same voice as the one that had spoken when you were spirited away to Haikyuu.

"Y/n." 

The being looked like they were made of smoke. 

"I'm sorry, but do I know you?"

"We have a lot to talk about." They were drinking from a cup. "Firstly. You might suffer from spells in the last month. Secondly, even if you suddenly like someone else and they like you back, if Akaashi doesn't like you, you'll die anyway. Finally. You'll be able to tell the truth without dying to one person in the last week, except Akaashi."

"Sure. Now why else am I here?" You looked at them boredly.

"It's an injustice! I'm doing my best to make your wish come true. And my boss still isn't giving me a raise! Damn it!"

You stared at them, and being the person who you were, decided to sit there and listen to this entity spill the tea.

Konoha had rang your doorbell five times. He had been waiting for so long the back of his shirt was kind of wet and he had put his dark blue sling bag on the floor.

"My god, L/n! Wake up!" 

It was the morning of the summer camp. 

And he didn't know you were dreaming inside, unaware of the time they were setting out.

No, he remembered telling you, so why were you still asleep?

He banged on the door this time. "L/n!"

Konoha put a hand into the pockets of his shorts, groping for something he remembered putting inside that morning...

He grabbed it and pulled it out. 

It was a bobby pin. Konoha had stolen it from Yukie a week ago or so. He fingered it and took a deep breath before bending it outward and sliding one side into the lock. 

Let's hope I still can do it.

"Konoha-san. What are you doing here?"

The blond boy turned to see his most reliable kouhai, Akaashi. He was wearing track pants and a close fitting shirt, a backpack slung across his shoulder.

"I could ask you the same, Akaashi. Why are you here?"

"To get L/n. Are you actually trying to pick that lock? Let me." Konoha stepped aside for Akaashi to hold the bobby pin. 

Akaashi wiggled the bobby pin around and there was a satisfying click. He pulled the door open.

"Now let's go in, shall we?" Akaashi smiled, seemingly kind of proud of himself. 

The boys rushed in, bursting into your room. 

You lay there sleeping like a log.

The boys sighed.

"Oh, god."
