He wasn't going to lie, Suga had no clue what he wanted to talk to Yamaguchi about. He knew that talking to the first year would be beneficial, but he wasn't sure what to tell him. Despite his better judgement, Suga spent the entire first part of class trying to organize his thoughts, but that never seemed to work for him. By the time lunch came, he was exactly where he started, nowhere.

"Suga," Daichi called as the lunch bell chimed. Suga turned to look at him; he may as well get this over with now. "We're going to have lunch outside today, is that okay with you?"

"Do whatever, I already have lunch plans," he snapped, harsher than necessary. He felt bad seeing the hurt look on Daichi's face, but he had to accept it. This is what he had to do if he was going to get over this.

"Hanging out with Tsukishima again?" Daichi asked, his voice hurt. Of course he was hurt, Suga had gone to a first year he barely knew instead of his best friends of three years.

"Yamaguchi actually," Suga replied, his voice level. "I'll see you later." With that, he grabbed his lunch and walked out of the classroom, making sure to bump shoulder with Michimiya as he passed. Sure, that was a bit childish, but he felt good after doing it. He made his way mindlessly down the stairs and to the basement, the dark room welcoming him. Yamaguchi was already there, sitting on the same old couch they were on last week.

"Hello Sugawara-san," Yamaguchi greeted as Suga joined him on the couch.

"Suga is fine," he smiled, trying to ease the awkwardness.

"Um, what did you want to talk about?" the younger boy asked, picking around at his lunch. Well, may as well just get straight to the point.

"I'm in love with my best friend and I don't know what to do about it," he rushed, spilling everything. Yamaguchi's eyes widened at this, but soon they filled with understanding.

"Why did you come to me about that?" Yamaguchi asked, his tone curious with what seemed like a hint of worry.

"Tsukishima said you were good at giving advice, I guess I just wanted a second opinion," he answered.

"What's your current opinion?" he asked, turning to face him.

"Get over it and never tell him," he responded simply.

"And you honestly think that will work?" Yamaguchi asked, one eyebrow raised. Suga sighed, he was right.

"No, not really. Honestly, I don't think I'll ever get over him," Suga admitted, picking at his own food.

"I...um...I know how you feel," Yamaguchi muttered, causing Suga to look over at him.

"You do?" he asked, disbelief in his voice. He didn't think anybody could understand how he felt.

"I like Tsukki, I have for a while actually," Yamaguchi said, a small smile on his face. "I honestly don't think I'll ever be able to get over it."

"How do you deal with it?" Suga asked, forgetting about his lunch and focusing on the young server.

"I don't," he admitted sheepishly. "I keep doing things the same I've always done them, but that gnawing feeling is always there."

"Gnawing feeling?" Suga repeated, hanging onto Yamaguchi's every word.

"The feeling of wanting more, of not knowing if he feels the same way. Knowing that unless you do something you will never know, but also knowing that if you do something everything will change," he clarified, getting lost in his own mind.

"I think everything will change anyway, whether you do something about it or not," Suga thought aloud. Yamaguchi looked over at him at nodded in agreement.

"If I'm going to suppress this, I have to distance myself from Daichi. I can't stand being so close to him while Michimiya's around. I have nothing against her, but it's just too hard seeing them together. The only way I'm not going to do something stupid is if I stop hanging around Daichi altogether, but he's going to want a reason," Suga explained.

"I can't relate to that part; Tsukki hasn't dated anyone, so I don't know the feeling. What I can say though, is that if you are going to distance yourself anyway, why don't you just tell him?" Yamaguchi suggested, earning a terrified look from Suga. "I'm just saying, the best case scenario is that he likes you back, the worst is that you aren't friends anymore. I don't think the last option is likely, but if you're going to leave him behind don't you think he deserves to know the truth?"

"I don't want to do anything that will affect the team," Suga said, avoiding the question.

"I'm going to be honest. To me, Daichi doesn't seem like the kind of person to make light of other peoples' feelings. I don't think he will look at you or treat you any differently, regardless on how he feels. He's not one to get weirded out by that kind of thing, heck he was the first person to congratulate Hinata and Kageyama. When it comes down to it, it's your decision about what you do, but I think you would be better off telling him."

"What about you?" Suga asked. If Yamaguchi was telling him to tell Daichi, then shouldn't he tell Tsukishima?

"I'm pretty sure he already knows," he admitted, scratching the back of his neck. "It wouldn't surprise me. And I know that he wouldn't treat me any differently, that's just the kind of person Tsukki is."

"Okay, just…give me some time to think about it. You're probably right; scratch that, I know you're right. I just need some time to sort things out," Suga explained.

"There's no rush, take all the time you need," Yamaguchi smiled, finishing the rest of his lunch.

"Thanks," he replied, turning to his own lunch. They spent the rest of the lunch period in silence, but it wasn't uncomfortable. Once the bell rang, they departed, promising to see each other at practice after class. For whatever reason, Suga felt light. He felt like the weight had been lifted from his shoulders; it felt nice. When he reached his classroom, he even smiled at Daichi, that's how good he was feeling.

Suga was extremely focused during class. He wasn't focused on class, but he was focused nonetheless. He couldn't get the conversation he had with Yamaguchi out of his head. Should he tell Daichi? The only option he had even considered was to get over it, but maybe it didn't have to be that way. He knew Yamaguchi was right, Daichi wouldn't think any less of him, but that didn't make it any easier. He really wanted to keep this between him, Yamaguchi, and Tsukishima, but with how things were going, he wasn't sure how easy that would be. Daichi deserved to know the truth, especially if Suga was going to change because of it. Suga just, didn't know how to go about things.

"Can I talk to you?" Daichi asked him as soon as class ended. Suga swallowed, glancing around. He wasn't ready for this conversation, but he couldn't avoid it forever. Just as he was about to give in, a voice came from the doorway.

"Suga," Tsukishima called, Yamaguchi behind him. Suga sighed, thankful for a way out. He knew Daichi wouldn't be happy about it, but Suga just wasn't ready.

"I can't right now, maybe later?" he shrugged, facing Daichi. The defeated look on his face hurt Suga, but this was just how things needed to be right now. After a slight nod, Suga grabbed his bag and left, meeting the two first years at the door.

"Great timing," Suga commented as they walked down the stairs and out towards the gym.

"You can't avoid him forever," Tsukishima muttered, Yamaguchi nodding in response.

"I know, but I need to figure things out for myself before I can do anything," he explained, stepping outside. It was a nice day, the sky was blue and a gentle breeze blew through the sky. As the approached the club room, a familiar figure stepped out from the shadows. Suga froze, he definitely did not want to deal with this today.

"Michimiya," he greeted, his tone bland. Yamaguchi and Tsukishima stood there, looking awkwardly between the two third years.

"I need to talk to you," she said, not giving him a choice.

"I need to get to practice," he shot back, not backing down.

"Daichi said you couldn't practice again until Wednesday," she replied, tilting her head.

"As vice-captain, I still need to be at practice," he retorted.

"Suga, I'm not trying to start a fight with you. This is important and won't take long, I promise," She begged, staring into his eyes. Suga sighed and nodded, he knew he couldn't get out of this.

"I'll be a little late," he muttered, following Michimiya across campus. She led him to a secluded spot in the northwest corner of campus, surrounded by various bushes and shrubs.

"Let me just get this out of the way," she began, turning to face him.

"Let's," Suga nodded, waiting for her to continue.

"I know," she said, her expression blank. Suga stared back at her. She knew what?

"I know you're in love with Daichi."
