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

At those words, everything inside of Suga just burst. He fell to the ground, his entire body shaking. She knew. Michimiya knew. She knew how he felt. How? How did she know? He had been so careful, he tried so hard, so how? He curled his knees into his chest and rocked back and forth, shaking his head. This isn't happening, it can't be. This is just some messed up nightmare, it's not real.

"Suga?!" he heard Michimiya say frantically. Suga just continued to shake and rock, he couldn't respond even if he wanted to. The logical portion of his brain was nowhere to be found, all he was able to do was worry. Why did she know? How did she know? When did she find out?

"Suga, hey, it's okay. You need to calm your breathing, alright? Breathe in, and hold, okay out. Good, you're doing great. Again, in, hold, and out," Michimiya coached. Suga wasn't sure how he was able to follow her directions, but his breathing slowly returned to normal. He opened his eyes and looked at Michimiya, who was kneeling down in front of him. When they locked eyes, Suga was comforted by the worried look she had.

"Are you okay?" she asked, her voice hesitant.

"Yeah, thanks," Suga whispered, his throat tight.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to freak you out," she apologized, sitting down in the grass.

"I know, I was just taken by surprise," he replied, slowly stretching his legs out in front of him. The two sat side by side in silence for a few moments, the only sound the birds in the surrounding trees.

"How?" Suga asked, breaking the silence. They both knew what he was talking about, so there was no need to elaborate.

"The way you lean into him when you walk together, the way you look at him when he isn't looking at you. Your smile is always the brightest when you're with him. Daichi mentioned that things started to go wrong with you after the Shiratorizawa match, so it wasn't that hard to put two and two together," she explained, pulling at the grass below.

"I never realized how obvious it was, I didn't actually realize it myself until a few days ago," Suga muttered, picking at his nails.

"I'm gonna break up with him," she blurted, causing Suga to jerk his head towards her. "It's not because of you, so you can stop looking at me like that. If I'm honest, I think he likes you too, now whether or not he's realized that yet is a different story. I like Daichi, I do, but I don't see our relationship lasting past graduation. You two, on the other hand, I see lasting for a long time."

"That's assuming he feels the same," Suga smiled sadly. He didn't doubt what she said about her own relationship, but he couldn't see any way Daichi liked him the way he liked Daichi.

"You know the way you look at Daichi when he isn't looking? He does the same thing to you. All those things I said about you, it's the same for him. I've known Daichi since junior high, and I have never seen him as happy as he is with you. He's been so worried about you recently, I was honestly scared for him. If he doesn't love you, then I'm not Michimiya Yui," she exclaimed. Suga chuckled slightly, he felt bad for hating Michimiya, she really was a great person.

"I'm sorry for blowing up on you last week," Suga apologized, turning his head back to the ground.

"Don't worry about it, I know you were going through some stuff," she grinned back.

"Do you really think I have a chance?" he asked, glancing at her out of the corner of his eye.

"I think you have a better chance than I do, and I'm still dating him," she answered, giving him a playful smirk.

"Are you sure this is what you want to do?" Suga asked. He needed to be sure that this was her idea, even if she already said it wasn't for him.

"I've been thinking about it for a bit, and yeah, I think this is for the best," she replied, standing up and holding out her hand. Suga smiled up at her and took it, allowing her to pull him up.

"Are we, okay?" he asked dusting himself off. He really did like Michimiya, he hoped that they could put all of this behind them.

"Yeah, we're good," she smiled back at him. "Now, go on, you should probably get to practice."

"Yeah, I should," Suga agreed, gently pulling his hand back. "Thank you, for talking to me."

"I'm always here. See ya," she said, waving and walking back towards the school. Suga stood still for a moment, basking in the warm sunshine. He felt good, his head felt clear. It had been a while since he last felt this nice, and he was going to enjoy it for however long he could. Michimiya, who had spent the most time around Daichi lately believed that Daichi liked him. He figured he could trust her judgement, she probably knew more than he did anyway, but he still wasn't sure what to do. Yamaguchi had told him it would be best to just tell Daichi what was up, but Suga just wasn't sure.

"Suga?" he heard from behind him. Coming back to the present, Suga turned around to find Yamaguchi standing behind him.

"Oh, Yamaguchi, sorry, I didn't think it would take that long," Suga apologized, rubbed the back of his head.

"It's fine…Are you okay?" he asked hesitantly.

"Honestly, I'm better than I've been in a long time," Suga smiled, looking back at the younger boy.

"Good," Yamaguchi smiled in response. "You're still coming to practice, right?"

"Yeah," Suga replied, following Yamaguchi towards the gym.

"Yamaguchi," he spoke up, stopping before they reached the doors. "I think I'm gonna tell him."

"Good, I'm glad that's what you decided," Yamaguchi grinned back at him before closing the distance to the door. Suga took a deep breath before following him. He was going to find Daichi and tell him, today. As he stepped into the gym, he was greeted by his entire team, well, everyone besides Daichi. In fact, Daichi wasn't even in the gym.

"Sorry I'm late," Suga called as he entered the gym, looking around trying to find side captain. "Where's Daichi?"

"Michimiya needed to talk to him, it seemed important," Tanaka shrugged, turning back to the volleyball in his hands. Suga stiffened slightly, she really worked fast.

"Oh, well if any of you guys need any help, let me know. I want to do what I can," Suga said, walking over to sit on the edge of the stage. They were working on serves, so there wasn't much Suga could do. So he just sat back and watched. Asahi's jump serves were improving greatly, Yamaguchi got all of his float serves over the net, and even Hinata was improving. The minutes ticked on, and eventually practice came to a close. Daichi still hadn't returned, and Suga was getting a bit worried. Suga knew what was happening, he knew that Daichi was getting broken up with, but he had been gone for almost an hour. Just as the team finished cleaning up, the bang of the door alerted of Daichi's presence. Suga turned to greet him, but froze almost immediately. He had never seen Daichi look that pissed.

"Suga," he said, his voice monotone. Suga looked over at him, his eyes wide; he was terrified.

"We need to talk."
