Iwaizumi watched as Oikawa pulled the covers over himself. Oikawa was acting ridiculous and at this point, Iwaizumi couldn't stand it any longer. After all, if someone was taking up space on your bed for no particular reason, you'd get pissed off as well.

"Trashykawa, you better get out of my bed and leave my room," Iwaizumi warned.

"No! If I go out, I'll see him!" Oikawa whined.

"Who the hell... are you talking about?" Iwaizumi queried, his patience growing thin.

"Tobio-chan! He's out there!"

Iwaizumi eyed his childhood friend. He knew that Oikawa tended to be insecure whenever Kageyama was around but what Iwaizumi didn't know was that Oikawa was the type that would hole himself up just because the person who made him insecure was around. As interesting as it was, Iwaizumi wanted to rest and he was getting none of that because Oikawa was being the upgraded version of his usual whiny self.

"Get out and face Kageyama," Iwaizumi said with irritation. He then recalled how he and Kageyama had accidentally broken Hinata's phone and immediately, Iwaizumi cringed. "You and Kageyama... both of you are irritating," Iwaizumi commented.

Oikawa pulled the covers away and glared at his friend. "Me and Tobio-chan?! You and Tobio-chan are irritating!" Oikawa snapped back.

Iwaizumi grabbed Oikawa's collar and proceeded to pull him out of his bed. Oikawa was dragged on the floor and when he was on the ground, Iwaizumi stared at him emptily.

"Get out now. I'll literally square you in the face," Iwaizumi threatened so Oikawa stood up and when he did, he teared up.

"Iwa-chan... did I do something bad to Tobio-chan? I didn't, right?" the brunette asked.

"You did," was Iwaizumi's straightforward answer.

"Argh... okay, I get that but what I don't get is this weird..." Oikawa didn't continue his statement. He looked at Iwaizumi and huffed. "Never mind! I'll just go!" Oikawa crossed his arms. Someone knocked on the door so he turned around and walked to get, but when he opened it he saw Kageyama was outside.

"Oikawa-san, dinner is re—"

Oikawa slammed the door closed in Kageyama's face. The brunette then faced Iwaizumi and covered his face as he groaned. Oikawa sank down the floor and felt himself start to decay with how much his heart and mind were confusing him. In this case, Oikawa wouldn't mind being sent to a mental asylum just so he could get away from a certain black-haired setter who had hired Oikawa to be his sports agent.

On the other hand, Iwaizumi heaved a sigh at how stupid his friend was. "Oikawa, if you're guilty then just apologize to Kageyama. Maybe that's what you're agonizing over," Iwaizumi suggested.

Oikawa perked up and considered the suggestion. If he apologized then maybe his confusion would be eradicated and Oikawa could continue insulting Kageyama like nothing had ever happened. If things went according to plan, Oikawa could feel better about himself since he apologized for his mistake, although he didn't want to admit that he had done something wrong.

"Okay, then! I'll apologize!" Oikawa said before facing the door and opening it. He exited Iwaizumi's room and went to the living room. As he walked with confidence, Kageyama saw him and called out to him. Oikawa froze and looked at Kageyama.

"Oikawa-san, Hinata made dinner," Kageyama informed as he motioned the older male to come and eat.

Oikawa blinked and bit his lower lip before heading to the kitchen and dining room. For now, Oikawa just had to endure it and apologize at some other time.

"Sugawara-san, you've been smiling slyly a lot," Tsukishima remarked.

"Oh, really? Didn't know that," Sugawara replied.

"Yeah... actually—" Tsukishima glanced sharply at Sugawara— "it almost feels like you're planning something."

Sugawara stared at the blond before grinning kindly. "What? That's weird! Why would I plan something? I'm not that cunning, you know!" he denied.

Tsukishima didn't believe him.

"Whoa! Kou-kun, look at what Tsumikishi Neet gave Miho!" A girl came running in from the hallway with a dinosaur that was half her size in her hand.

"Wow! That's cool! Tsukishima gave it to you, huh?" Sugawara questioned as he patted Miho's head.

"Yeah! Tsurashima Kanji gave it!"

Tsukishima was certain that it was the ashen-haired male who had asked Miho to call Tsukishima by the wrong name all the time. Narrowing his eyes and observing Sugawara, Tsukishima was unaware that Miho saw him staring at her uncle.

"Eh? Are you Kou-kun's stalker Tsuzumiya Kon?" Miho interrogated with a suspicious glare.

Tsukishima leered at her and glanced at Sugawara, only to see him smiling mischievously.

"Wahhh, Tsukki kept staring at me. That's why I kept feeling like someone was stalking me," Sugawara teased.

"No, I'm not stalking you," the blond male denied. "I'm just checking if you were the one who told the kid to keep butchering my name."

"Huh? Are you... accusing me?" Sugawara asked with a pained expression and his hand on his chest to further accentuate his pain.

"Maybe," Tsukishima retorted.

Miho watched as the two older men glared at each other. She felt conflicted and didn't know who she should team up with so she teared up and waved the dinosaur in her arms to stop the two from fighting, resulting in Sugawara and Tsukishima getting hit in the nose and forehead, respectively, by the dinosaur's head as Miho thrashed it about.

"Miho, that hurts!" Sugawara scolded as Tsukishima rubbed his forehead. The ashen-haired male sighed before returning his gaze to the blond.

"Fine, I'll accept your accusations if you take a picture of me looking sly. If you can't, then I won't tell you who really asked Miho to butcher your name," Sugawara said as he stood up and looked down on Tsukishima.

"Fine," Tsukishima said as he raised his glasses up with his middle finger before heading to his room.

"Oi! You flipped me off, didn't you?!" Sugawara grilled.

Tsukishima merely smirked to himself as he shut the door behind him.

The next morning, the usual routine happened with Kageyama trying to schedule another practice by complaining to a certain brunette, Oikawa yelling at Kageyama to avoid him, Iwaizumi avoiding Oikawa who kept approaching him, Hinata feeding Miho, Miho butchering Tsukishima's name, and Tsukishima keeping a scrutinizing eye on Sugawara. Meanwhile, Sugawara simply enjoyed the madness that occurred every morning.

After that, most of the share house residents left and once Sugawara was alone, he finally started his work. And after four hours of working, Sugawara decided to go roam the city and roam he did. He called his sister and asked her to spend time with him since he was bored and luckily, his sister agreed and told Sugawara where they should meet. Afterwards, he went to the cafe his sister told him about which was near the university Tsukishima attended and, unfortunately, when he entered, he saw Tsukishima and his older brother sitting in the far corner.

Tsukishima instantly noticed Sugawara enter so he pulled his phone out and carefully watched the older male.

Sugawara sat in a vacant seat and ignored the blond siblings. He felt his phone vibrate and when he checked who it was, he smirked. It was Oikawa.

Tsukishima caught the smirk that the older male gave so he aimed his phone at Sugawara. Akiteru noticed his brother's actions so he looked behind him and was horrified to see that Sugawara was behind him. Akiteru gazed at his brother and saw the careful but determined look that his younger brother had as he pointed the camera at the gray-haired man.

"Kei..." Akiteru muttered. "You're taking a picture of your boyfriend without him knowing, huh? That's sweet of you. You must like him so much." Akiteru totally misunderstood the situation.

Tsukishima narrowed his eyes at his older brother before returning his attention to take a picture of a rare smirking Sugawara.

Meanwhile, Sugawara's sister, Fuyumi, arrived. She saw her younger brother was looking at his phone with a smirk in his face. Fuyumi smiled and was about to approach her younger brother when she caught a glimpse of Tsukishima aiming his phone at her younger brother. Fuyumi observed Tsukishima and gasped at the realization. She covered her mouth and teared up.

"Oh wow... Kei-kun... unlike his older brother, Kei-kun is sweet. Taking picture of Koushi when he isn't looking, Kei-kun must really like Koushi and... that's such boyfriend material! I'm feeling jealous! I wanna date too!" Fuyumi internally mused enviously. She then approached her brother and tapped on his shoulder.

Sugawara turned around and saw his sister so he smiled brightly and motioned her to sit down.

Fuyumi nodded and sat down before pointing at Tsukishima so Sugawara glanced to where his sister pointed and saw the blond male attempting to take a picture of him. He immediately posed for the camera.

Tsukishima, who was about to take a snap of Sugawara smirking, took a picture of Sugawara smiling instead. The blond male clicked his tongue and checked the image. When he saw it, he took a second to register.

"What is it? Did the picture turn out good?" Akiteru questioned.

Tsukishima looked at him and gave his phone.

Akiteru wowed at the photo. In the picture, Sugawara was smiling softly as he stared at the camera with a hint of mischief. The lighting turned out fine since Sugawara was sitting beside the window and his clothes were stylish, yet simple. Akiteru grinned at his brother before giving it back.

Once Tsukishima had it, he gazed at the picture for a while and wondered if he should delete it. He then sighed and turned his phone off before pushing his phone inside his pocket, making sure that the image hadn't been deleted.

Kageyama glared at Oikawa. "You're avoiding me," he said coldly.

"Eh... well," Oikawa started, rubbing the back of his neck. "I have a good explanation for that and—"

"I don't care. If you keep avoiding me, I'll fire you." Kageyama cut Oikawa's sentence off. "How will I schedule something if you're away? Keep close to me, got it?"

After that, Kageyama left Oikawa's room. Oikawa, on the other hand, felt conflicted. He pulled the covers up over himself and wondered what he should do. No matter how much he thought about it, Oikawa couldn't find the answer. He'd tried apologizing yet somehow, Kageyama's response made him angry. When the brunette sincerely apologized, Kageyama had just stared at him as if he was sick in the head and said, "Are you crazy, Oikawa-san? What do you want? Money? Food?"

That pissed Oikawa off so he decided not to apologize anymore, yet after that decision, Oikawa's life became even more miserable. He kept seeing Kageyama as the same middle-school kid and Oikawa was more than aware of how he hated it. He didn't feel guilty after all so what was it? What made him act like that?

The next day, Kageyama woke up early to jog. Once he finished, everybody was awake. Kageyama had forgotten his schedule for the day again so he went to ask Oikawa but when he opened the door to the brunette's room, he wasn't there. Kageyama went to Iwaizumi's room and found Oikawa on the ground complaining about Iwaizumi who was on the bed.

The room was silent as Oikawa and Kageyama looked at each other. Oikawa stood up and quietly went out of Iwaizumi's room. Once the two were outside, Kageyama was about to open his mouth when Oikawa interrupted him with, "You don't have anything to do today. You're free. Bye."

Afterwards, the brunette made to leave but like hell Kageyama was going to let him pass. He grabbed the brunette's wrist and held it tightly. Oikawa blinked and turned around but to his surprise, Kageyama seemed to look like the same middle-school student that kept pestering Oikawa back in the day so the brunette pushed him away while rubbing his wrist.

"Fucking—damn it, Tobio-chan! Get away from me!" Oikawa yelled as he rubbed his wrist as if someone dirty had touched him.

"What's wrong with you?" Kageyama questioned hastily. When the older male ignored him, he grabbed his shoulders and made Oikawa face him. "What's wrong with you? You're acting weird," Kageyama commented, unaware of his close proximity to the brunette.

Meanwhile, Oikawa was getting quite nervous. He didn't like it at all.

"But wait a minute... If Tobio-chan looks like a middle-school student in my eyes and if his age when he was in middle school was twelve and right now, he's in front of me and is super close to my face and if being close to someone is related to kissing someone then does that mean that I'm... kissing a twelve-year old?!" Oikawa hastily thought before pushing Kageyama away from him.

"No! No way in hell I'll do that!" he exclaimed before entering a random room and locking it, leaving Kageyama shocked.

The black-haired male scoffed before moving to stand in front of the door that Oikawa had locked himself behind. Kageyama fished for his keys and once he got them, he unlocked the door. He pushed it open and saw Oikawa staring at him in horror while hiding under the covers.

"Oikawa-san, this is my room," Kageyama said slowly, attempting to be patient with the older male.

"Wait? If this Tobio-chan's room and the Tobio-chan I know is the same twelve-year old middle school student and I entered his room forcefully and pulled the covers that Tobio-chan owns then does that mean that I'm a... trespasser who's also a pervert who likes staying in an underage boy's room?!" Oikawa pushed the covers away from him and walked away from the bed. He gulped and faked a smile but Kageyama was having none of it.

He loomed near the male but Oikawa stepped back. Kageyama kept walking closer while the brunette kept walking away and they kept doing that until Oikawa felt the wall behind him. Before Oikawa could escape, Kageyama slammed his both of his hands on the wall, successfully pinning the older male.

"Oi, what the fuck are you playing at?" Kageyama grilled impatiently.

"What the hell... if Tobio-chan is twelve years old and he's currently pinning me on the wall and I'm not doing anything to stop him then... does that mean that I'm a..." Oikawa couldn't finish his thought because he covered his face. "Tobio-chan, you're going to get me arrested!" Oikawa yelled in frustration.

"What? What are you talking about?" Kageyama questioned, utterly weirded out by the brunette's sudden statement.

"No... I don't wanna be put in jail because of pedophilia!" Oikawa screamed.

Kageyama backed away as he fully grasped what the brunette just said. "You... you're a pedophile?" Kageyama queried with terror as he avoided the brunette.

"No! I'm not!" retorted Oikawa.

"Then what?!"

"I just don't want to be with you for a while! Just leave me alone! You're freaking me out!"

The room went silent after that.

Finally, Oikawa lowered his hands and finally looked at Kageyama.

On the other hand, Kageyama seemed to have understood the situation. He rubbed his temples and gazed at the brunette. "Then get out of my room. I need to rest and you're in the way," Kageyama aloofly said as he motioned for Oikawa to leave.

Oikawa looked at Kageyama and felt a pinch in his chest. He bit the inside of his cheek before exiting the room and closing the door behind him. He then saw Sugawara, who seemed to have been on his way to enter Kageyama's room, staring at him with confusion.

"What happened? You two were being noisy," Sugawara remarked but Oikawa forced a strained smile before shaking his head and entering his own room. He had to fix this problem instantly or he'd lose something big.

Sugawara watched as Oikawa closed the door. After that, Sugawara headed to Kageyama's room and smiled at him.

"What happened? Want to start ranting?" he asked as he gave a soft smile.

Kageyama hesitated for a few seconds before nodding.

Once Sugawara saw this, he entered the room and closed the door behind him. He headed towards the younger male and sat beside him on the bed. He waited for Kageyama to say something and after a whole minute, Kageyama heaved a long sigh but didn't say anything. Sugawara sighed as well and said, "You have to open up, Kageyama."

Kageyama nodded. "Sometimes, I get scared."

Sugawara gaped at what Kageyama said. He was opening his mouth to tell Kageyama that he should only say what was troubling him at the moment (not his whole tragic backstory) when Kageyama said something that stunned Sugawara even further.

"I'm getting too comfortable in this share house and it scares me." Kageyama sent a look of sincerity towards Sugawara. "I know that I'll be leaving this house one way or another but... for the meantime, it's scary how the people in this house makes me feel at home. Oikawa-san is also one of them, which makes it even scarier."

Sugawara smiled softly at this and waited for Kageyama to continue.

"I feel like I got too attached to the people here... especially, Oikawa-san." Kageyama looked away, a shade of red dusting his cheeks.

Sugawara felt a chuckle come out from his mouth, earning him a puzzled stare from Kageyama. Sugawara covered his mouth and calmed himself down. After a while, he eyed Kageyama with gentleness that made Kageyama feel like he was seeing his mother's stare again.

"What's wrong with getting attached? It's a part of life. Getting close to someone and leaving them. Sure, it would hurt to part from important people but it's just like high school. You graduate and your life goes on. You're a strong person, Kageyama. Don't get scared that you're getting attached to the people here. That's what makes this share house feel special. How we get oddly attached to someone we didn't expect we would get close to," Sugawara advised.

"But Sugawara-san... it's different. It feels like a different sort of attachment," Kageyama said.

Sugawara smiled playfully. "I know that, Kageyama. What I don't know is which person you're referring to."

Kageyama paused for a while. He thought about which person he was indicating and recalled a certain brunette.

"Uh... Oikawa-san?" Kageyama replied unsurely.

"Ohhh, him, huh? I guessed it right," Sugawara said, "I think I know what you're feeling and it isn't attachment."

"Then what is it?"

"You probably like him."

"What?" was all Kageyama could blurt out. He sat, unmoving, completely baffled by the sudden declaration. Kageyama Tobio? Liking someone? Even Kageyama himself was shocked. He was a man and he thought he was interested in women. Kageyama didn't really care which gender he liked but the sudden statement from someone else made him perplexed. He had just recently liked a girl and now he'd started to like a man. What was he then?

"I... if I like men and women, then what am I?" Kageyama questioned.

"You can be straight and not straight at the same time... that means you're a flexible ruler," Sugawara joked.

Kageyama grumbled at the joke and folded his arms.

Sugawara chuckled at the reaction he got. "Sorry, sorry. I was tempted to say something funny. But yeah, you're probably bisexual." Sugawara spoke in a laidback manner.

Kageyama nodded before saying, "And I'm bisexual... because of Oikawa-san?"

"Yup. Seems like it."

Kageyama blinked at the realization. He thought about the brunette and wondered when he'd started to like him. Kageyama grumbled and laid back on his bed. He accidentally recalled the time when he was on the roof with Oikawa, both of them gazing at the cloud-covered sky. He slapped his forehead and sprang up. He then remembered that time when the older male almost died just so Kageyama could do a photoshoot as well as all the moments when Oikawa was rude to him. With how rude Oikawa was, Kageyama had to ponder about what his preferred type of person actually was.

"What I like is someone who won't mind me playing volleyball, knows a thing or two about it, supports me, and talks to me without being fake." Kageyama thought out loud as he connected his type and Oikawa. When he noticed that they connected, he froze.

Sugawara watched the younger male experience a mental breakdown. He smirked before standing up. "Good luck with your feelings, Kageyama," he said without turning around as he left.

Kageyama was left alone all by his confusing feelings and thoughts.

"What the... why?" Kageyama muttered before standing up and exiting his room. He closed the door behind him and looked at Oikawa's door with confusion. He groaned in frustration and chose to go to the living room. Fine, he accepted that he liked the brunette but Kageyama wouldn't confess first. He had his pride and he wouldn't let the brunette get the satisfaction of knowing that Kageyama liked him. With that in mind, Kageyama went to the living room, a smile breaking out before disappearing a split-second after.

A/N:

I'm a master in flow so everything that happens here is something that I did for a reason! By the end of this story, you'll be satisfied with how beautiful the ending is... hopefully :))

Anyway, this is all! Thanks for reading and as always, I hope this chapter made you smile or laugh. Bye ~(ㅇvㅇ)~
