Y/N'S P.O.V.

Ever since your last talk with Lev, you've been struggling over how you can actually help him confess to Yaku. During today's practice in the boys' gym, you find yourself distracted with these thoughts instead of volleyball.

As the three of you play, you can't help but notice the way the two act around each other, leading you to believe there could be feelings flowing both ways. After a bit of thought, you decide to have a chat with Lev after practice ends.

"Hey!" you wave as you approach the two men, "Mind if I come hang out with you guys for a bit?"

Instantly, Yaku and Lev's faces both light up in excitement. Shaking his head frantically, Yaku expresses his happiness that you're finally spending time with him again instead of just Lev or Kenma.

As he talks, you notice Kenma standing a little ways back from your two friends, making a confused expression as he watches the three of you.

Before you have time to say anything to him, Yaku and Lev begin ushering you out of the room.

"Bye!" you mouth to your boyfriend as you give him a wave.

Kenma shyly waves back, causing your cheeks to heat up from the cute sentiment.

"Hey Lev do you wanna shower first while I stay here with Y/N?" Yaku asks sweetly as he faces his roommate, "there's something I want to talk to Y/N about."

"Sure," Lev replies skeptically as he looks over at you.

You give Lev a reassuring smile to let him know it's fine with you. You can tell that Lev is a bit nervous because he knew there was a reason for you coming over this afternoon.

The two of you wait while Lev grabs some of his belongings. Yaku doesn't say much but hops up on his bed to sit alongside you.

Once Lev closes the door behind him, you sense the mood of the room change.

"So what was it that you wanted to talk-"

"I think I've got a major crush on my roommate," Yaku awkwardly blurts out.

"Y-You... What about Nakamura?"

Yaku's mood changes once more. You watch as he sadly looks at the bed below him.

"I'm not really sure. I guess that's why I never seriously pursued her. I looked for your help but never took any action even though I think she's really cute I just... I guess I had my heart set on someone else."

"When did you realize?"

"Well," he starts as he finally looks back up at you, "it was during the training camp..."

FLASHBACK - YAKU'S P.O.V.

"Dude seriously get off the floor! You're not gonna improve if you just lay there!"

After being frustrated with Lev's incompetence, I walk over to my bag for a break. This is where I meet up with a few of the Fukurodani guys.

"Yo how come you keep trash-talking the tall guy?" one of them asks.

"Because he's full of shit. He needs to improve. I know he can do it because he's got the talent but look at him!" you groan as you motion towards where Lev's body is sprawled out on the floor.

"Well if he sucks then why do you even bother spending so much time with him? Let someone else deal with it."

"Aren't you the libero? Why are you responsible for a middle blocker anyway?" another asks.

For some reason, I began to ask myself why I was the one always helping him out even when I didn't have to. I guess I always thought it was because it was part of my job... but then I realized I was doing it for myself... to have a reason to be with him.

"To help him with his receives..." I say as I keep my gaze on my teammate.

"Can't literally anybody else do that?" they continue asking.

"Yeah but..."

When I realize that I don't have the proper answer to their question. I finally realize that I've been misplacing my feelings towards him.

Shit.

END OF FLASHBACK - Y/N'S P.O.V.

"And I guess that's when I realized it... I mean I was still confused but basically, that's my answer," Yaku shrugs.

You wait a moment to listen if there was anything else Yaku wanted to add. It is a bit hard for you to contain your emotions, finally happy that you can successfully bring two of your friends together, but not wanting to freak Yaku out with an inappropriate reaction.

"What do you think I should do?" he asks.

"Well to be honest Yaku-"

Before you can give your advice to Yaku, the door opens up. The two of you sit in an uncomfortable silence as Lev enters the room.

"Hey Lev!" you call out to break the awkward tension, "you were quick!"

As the two of you converse, you watch Yaku slide off the bed and grab his belongings as well as a towel. He's quieter than usual, but you suppose he's just feeling a whole bundle of emotions right now.

"Everything alright, Yaku?" Lev asks his concerned friend as he's about to leave.

"Yeah," Yaku replies weakly as he opens the door.

The second the door shuts behind him, you find yourself sliding off the bed.

You take a moment to stare at Lev until the realization hits you.

"Lev..." you trail off as excitement swirls around your brain.

Lev looks at you as though he's completely missing whatever is going on.

"What did I miss?" he questions as he looks into your eyes with a bit of worry.

"Oh my god!" you exclaim as you grab onto his hands, "you've got to talk to Yaku... right now!"

"About what?" he asks as he watches as you begin bouncing on your toes.

"You've got to ask him!"

"Ask him?"

Before you can give a proper response to Lev, you tighten your grip on one of his hands and open the door with the other. You run down the hall towards where the men's bathroom is.

"Uh Y/N, what's the rush?"

Continuing to ignore Lev, you drag him through the halls until you finally find your other friend.

"Yaku!" you yell right before he goes into the bathroom.

"Y/N? What are you-"

"We've gotta talk to you!" you pant once you finally get close enough to him for you to stop running.

"What's going on?" Lev continues to whisper to you.

"Ask him!" you whisper yell back as you push Lev towards his roommate.

"Ask what?"

"What you want to ask!" you squeak.

You watch as a light pink tint grazes over both of the boys' faces.

"Ask me what?" Yaku adds nervously.

"U-Uh Yaku do you want to maybe... g-go out sometime?"

The three of you stand in silence for what seems like an eternity until the sound of a towel hits the floor.

"Y-Yeah I do."
