A BOLT FROM THE BLUE

When Tanaka Ryūnosuke stopped fanning over Kiyoko Shimizu, the Karasuno volleyball team knew something was wrong. Even his best bud Yū Nishinoya didn't know what was going on. One day he just stopped propelling his love at Shimizu but instead just looked out for her in a brotherly sense- still warding off any boy that would try and hit on her. This let Nishinoya have one less competitor for winning the heart of the silent beauty, but that didn't mean he wasn't disappointed.

Every morning he and Tanaka used to greet Shimizu with hearts in their eyes, sometimes overstepping their boundaries which led to one of them receiving a slap to the face. (Which they didn't particularly mind, Tanaka even admitted that he got turned on by such things) When school would end, he and Tanaka would rush to Shimizu's classroom to walk her to practice and after practice had ended and all the equipment was put away they'd offer to walk her home. Never did they actually walk her home, they always were denied that privilege but every day they'd still ask, maybe she'd change her mind one day.

So when Nishinoya had the job of doing this all alone, he was starting to miss the company of his companion. Sure he had more time with Shimizu, he had her all to himself now. He could talk to her without interruption of the other male, even if she never did respond to him- but when did she ever?

And it's true that Tanaka was in competition with him over Shimizu but it was also something they bonded over. They talked about her over lunch and gushed about how her fingers felt against their cheeks after she'd hit them.

Their love for Shimizu is how they'd made friends with Taketora Yamamoto. The 3 of them created the Shimizu fan club together. Now the fan club only held 2 members and Nishinoya only saw Yamamoto when they'd have a match against Nekoma.

Tanaka had lost his eyes for Shimizu.

The Karasuno Volleyball team needed to know what was going on, what happened to their Tanaka.

So during practice, the volleyball team decided to ambush him into a corner and interrogate him.

''What did you do to Tanaka-san,'' Nishinoya said, seriousness laced into his voice. Currently, both Tanaka's arms were being held to the wall, one by Chikara Ennoshita and the other by Hisashi Kinoshita. The whole team surrounded him, forming a circle around the man in question. Even Daichi Sawamura was partaking in this whole scheme, his excuse being that Tanaka was acting suspicious and he needed to make sure that this wouldn't affect his practice.

Shimizu and Yachi sat on the bleachers discussing the upcoming matches, completely oblivious as to what was going on and coach Ukai seemed to be missing, gone for his smoke break probably.

''Oi! What are you on about? Let go of me you punks.''

Tanaka tried shaking off the two wing spikers but to no avail, they wouldn't budge their hold on him. Kei Tsukishima scoffed at the whole ordeal while complaining to Tadashi Yamaguchi about how pathetic this all was, but secretly he also wanted to know what made Tanaka lose interest in Shimizu.

''Tanaka-senpai are you being possessed?" Shōyō Hinata asked, his eyes held one of terror, the thought of his senpai being possessed by someone really scaring him.

''Who did this to you!'' Nishinoya started shaking the man, making Tanaka bang his bald head against the hard wall he was being pinned against.

''What are you even talking about?!''

Bang.

''Which demon is possessing your body!"

Bang.

''Demon...What demon!''

Bang.

''Get out of my friend!''

Bang.

Nishinoya continued to shake Tanaka back and forth, while Tanaka shouted back in confusion.

Suddenly Nishinoya was pulled aside and the banging of his head seized. Kōshi Sugawara came into Tanaka's view, making him let out a sigh of relief. Finally, the angel of the team decided to save him of the wraith that was being bestowed on him. Somebody sensible to deal with these hooligans.

''Thank god, Suga-san I don't know what their problem-''

''Maybe we just have to ask nicely,'' Sugawara cut Tanaka off, placing both hands on either side of his shoulders and looking straight into his slanted eyes.

''Please stop possessing my friend, Demon-sama.''

''Waaah! Even you Suga-san!'' Tanaka wailed in disbelief, how could somebody like Sugawara believe in this kind of crap. He was supposed to be the one to bring sense to the others, not fuel their shenanigans.

''What the hell is going on!'' Tanaka finally shrieked. Completely confused by all accusations being thrown at him.

Nishinoya came back into view again, hurt apparent in his eyes.

''Where did your love for Shimizu go.'' His voice wavered towards the end, he was genuinely upset that Tanaka had lost interest for the goddess. I mean, who would?

The team leaned in, all interested in what he had to say for himself.

Tanaka let out a laugh, so this is what they were after.

''Aaah, well you see, I have a girlfriend.''

The whole team went silent.
