Kai? Why's he texting me now?

You check to see what he's said. Unlocking your phone, you find a worried message asking if you're okay.

KAI: You alright? I've been worried about you and just want to make sure you're safe.

Y/N: Fine. I'm back at my room now.

KAI: Can I join you?

Y/N: Sure y not but don't get any funny ideas!

KAI: Promise.

About ten minutes later, you hear a knock on your door. Lazily picking yourself up from your bed, you drag your body over to the door.

Once Kai walks in, he becomes immediately concerned for you.

"Y/N," he says worriedly as he looks down at your almost lifeless state, "you sure you're okay?"

You'll never understand why you initiated what happened next. Perhaps it was the alcohol in your system. Maybe even the flood of emotions that came crashing over you when you saw one of your closest friends. However, when you hear Kai genuinely concerned about you, you fling your arms around him.

Digging your head into his chest, you cry softly as he wraps his arms around you. You can't help but enjoy the feeling of security he gives off as he rubs your back and tries to soothe you.

"I'm not okay," you sniff as you look up at him.

Kai, realizing that you're already half asleep as you cry onto him, lifts you up. You feel his large hands support your body as he places them on your thighs while you wrap your legs around him. Kai walks across your room and places you in your bed.

Hating the familiarity of where this is going, you catch Kai's arm in an attempt to get him to stay.

"Please," you whisper as you gaze at him through watery eyes, "stay."

You can see Kai hesitate as he decides what's best, but eventually, he gives you a nod.

"Alright move over," he playfully complains.

A small smile sneaks across your face as he squeezes in beside you.

"Thank you," you whisper once more as you wrap your arms around his torso.

Quickly, you drift off to sleep as you pull yourself close to your friend.

The next morning you find yourself in an extremely warm and comfortable position. You squeeze the pillow your arms are wrapped around. However when you do, the pillow hugs you back.

Your eyes immediately shoot open upon realization of what is going on.

Oh my god I let him sleep here with me...

You find yourself staring at the man underneath you until he begins waking up.

Kai, realizing the inner turmoil you're going through, begins explaining the events of last night. As he does, you look over and see Shiro sound asleep on her bed. Remembering she wasn't there the night before, she must have seen you with Kai when she came in.

Awkward...

"But I texted you because it seemed as though everybody was pretty drunk so I thought it would be best for me to make sure you were okay."

"W-Wow thanks Kai-chan that was really sweet," you say as you flash him a big smile, "I appreciate that."

The two of you talk for a little while longer until you ask him what time it is. Lazily, Kai looks down at his watch but immediately sits up when he reads the time.

"Shit!"

"What is it?"

"You were going to our practice today, right? We're both going to be late!"

The two of you rush out of bed. Promising Kai that you'll meet back up with him in thirty minutes after getting ready, you rush out of your room towards the bathroom.

"Y/N!" Kai yells as he jogs over to you.

You wave back and wait for him to approach. The second he does, you grab him by the hand and rush across campus as fast as you can to get to the gym.

"I'm so sorry," you pant as the two of you continue your run, "I shouldn't have asked you to stay, and then you wouldn't have been late!"

"Don't worry about it," he adds as the two of you finally reach the gym.

Once you make it through the doors, the two of you begin panting, out of breath from the far run. Neither one of you notice the attention of every single person in the room staring at you with their jaws to the ground.

"We should-" huff "put our stuff down," you say as you pat Kai on the back.

"Right..."

The two of you make your way to where the rest of the teams' bags are. Once you both turn around an immediate order rises from a pissed-off Kuroo.

"Y/N get your ass to Yaku and Lev! And Kai! Fukunaga and Yamamoto. Don't waste any more of our damn time."

The two of you nod in agreement at the angry captain. Unfortunately for you, to get to Lev and Yaku, you're forced to walk past Kuroo.

Hearing a grunt as you pass the captain, you do your best to keep your focus on the ground.

"Don't be late again," he growls.

Since it's your lucky day, you then get to walk past Kenma. Your eyes briefly meet with his as you see him brimming with anger. To you, it almost looks as if he's about to explode. You can't help but feel your face heat up in embarrassment as you think of what could be going through his mind right now.

Forcing yourself to look away from him, you try to clear your mind to focus better on practice.

"Ready?" you say to Lev and Yaku as you approach them.

"W-Where the hell did you go?" they whisper.

"I-It's not what it looks like I swear!"

You quickly explain to your friends about the events of the night before. Then you smoothly switch the conversation back to volleyball so you can have a normal practice.
