All of the boys competing in the contest sat in a circle from each other in silence.

"For those of you who don't know, here today we have those from karasuno, myself Kageyama, tsukishima, nishinoya, Hinata, sugawara, daichi-san,  asahi, Yamaguchi, and Tanaka. From fukuroudani, we have Bokuto and Akaashi, from nekoma we have Kuroo and kenma, and from aoba johsai we have the one and only oikawa." Kageyama said, cringing at oikawa's name.

"Yeah so get to the point. Why was I given a note that said to meet in this room. The rest of my team will get worried if I'm not back soon." Kuroo grumbled. "I'm the captain you know."

"Don't worry. It'll be worth your while kitten." Tsukishima teased, but Kuroo wasn't amused.

"We've seen the ways you've looked at our precious (y/n) and we thought we'd let you in on a little something."Sugawara smiled.

Kageyama cleared his throat. "You see, I've proposed to my team that we have a competition to see who can make (y/n) theirs first. If you want to go anywhere near her, you'll have to compete with us."

"Interesting tobio-chan. I didn't think you were the type to be so possessive over a girl."

"Tsk." Kageyama glared at oikawa.

"And what if I choose to not compete?" Kuroo challenged kageyama.

"Yamaguchi." Tsukishima snapped his fingers, telling him to come over. "Yamaguchi don't just fall down the stairs you see. Tanaka took care of him."

"This really is just getting more interesting by the second now isn't it?" Kuroo laughed.

"So, is that all you had to tell us? Then, we'll be leaving." Akaashi said standing up. "Come on
bokut-"

"Ah ah ah. Now that you're in on it, there's a couple of issues we have to take care of first. Daichi, take it away." kageyama said.

"The first issue is (y/n)'s dad, Coach Ukai. We need to get him out of the question or we won't be able to even touch (y/n)."

"You're really putting a lot of thought into this. I'm glad I'm not the only one invested." Bokuto smirked.

"So? What did you have in mind?" Oikawa asked curiously.

~~The next day~~
The next day, the boys spent their time specifically watching how the coaches moved. They also calculated who would win which games as to not draw suspicion to themselves. Fukuroudani started winning against karasuno now that Bokuto was back on his feet, and karasuno won more games against aoba johsai. Of course, this also affected the results the managers were recording in their journals. Their data wouldn't be accurate at all.

So far, no one had picked up on what the boys were doing, and everything would be fine as long as no one did.

"What data did you guys gather?" Sugawara stepped up this time.

"Team K, we've noticed how Coach nekomata comes in at around 3am to check on our team to make sure everyone is asleep." kenma reported and Kuroo nodded.

"Team Bokuto!" Bokuto announced. Akaashi face palmed at the name. He didn't agree with it, but he knew that Bokuto would be upset about it for days if he didn't get the name he wanted. "We stayed by the steps. Not one of the managers came downstairs all night. Not that they needed to. They have a bathroom on their floor as well as a water fountain."

"Thank you for your sacrifice." Nishinoya and Tanaka said. The one time they tried to go to the third floor to greet Kiyoko, they got scolded, yet here Bokuto and Akaashi were, risking their lives all for the cause of (y/n). In their eyes, those two were gods.

"Excellent. Now we know where to go to find (y/n) on the big day. Speaking of, who's getting the materials?" Tsukishima asked as he adjusted his glasses.

"Me and tobio-chan will go." Oikawa volunteered, earning a low growl from kageyama.

"Ooh ooh can I go to? Being with both of the kings sounds amazing!" Hinata jumped.

"He's coming along." Kageyama snapped. It's like him and oikawa were fighting for dominance. Considering Oikawa was a third year and kageyama was only a first year, you would think he had the clear advantage, but kageyama was holding his own.

"Alright. Anybody have anything on the other coaches?" Daichi asked.

"Yeah uh, they usually all gather in the conference room and talk since they're good friends, and like you said, Coach nekomata checks on Kuroo's team at around 3, but other than that, they all sleep in there in their chairs." Yamaguchi replied.

"Good job yams." Tsukishima pet him on the head like he was a dog.

"Nishinoya, Tanaka, you're in charge while they're gone." Suga said.

Their eyes lit up, "really!?"

[Nishinoya POV]
"When suga said that we'd be in charge, I didn't think he meant in charge of keeping guard." I sulked.

"Right. Honestly, this is nerve racking. What if we get caught standing here by the door? Not to mention it's cold down here." Tanaka complained.

"The only thing that's keeping me going at this point is (y/n). I'd do anything for her." I said with hearts in my eyes at the thought of (y/n) being all mine.

"Same, but since when did we all agree to work with everyone? Last I checked, this was a competition."

"But Daichi did make a good point. This competition wouldn't get very far with Coach Ukai breathing down our necks."

"Yeah. You're right. We'll keep this up until then."

"Yeah. At least we know we can trust each other." I sighed.

"Truce?"

"Truce."
