"Wait, how many friends do you even have in Japan, Kimiko?" Misaki asks as Aima comes back with a pack of ice wrapped in a towel. "Well, it was just you two, my family, Kozu-Kun and Kyo-Kun before the competition, and some acquaintances that I met along the way." I admit, and they both looked shocked. "It's been five years since you've moved to Japan!" Aima says, coming over and pushing my head onto Kuroo's lap, making my cheeks burn as she put the ice on my cheek. "Well yeah, I was busy raising Nen, and by then I had fallen behind in class. I spent a lot of time catching up, and then I joined the dance club, and you guys were enough for me." I explain, Aima sighing as she collapses back in her spot. "Girl, we need to make you new friends." Aima says sternly, and I raise a brow at her. "I'm making friends in the competition!" I say, and she just snorts. "Yeah, I guess, but you need to extend your reach out of Karasuno!" Aima says firmly, Kozu twisting before laying his head in my lap. "I guess so, but it'll be difficult since I don't know many people outside of Karasuno…" I mumble, beginning to play with Kozu's hair as he plays on his Switch.

"Then we'll use the competition to make you friends! We'll work as the volleyball team's official cheerleader team, and I'll hunt for new contestants!" Aima says and I stare at her blankly as she smiles at me. "Is it too late to take back my promises?" I ask and she just laughs. "Yes, yes it is, Kimiko. This is gonna be so exciting! I'm going to extend the competition till the end of the year! Oh my gosh, so much fun!" Aima says, I take a deep breath, picking the ice off my cheek and setting it on my chest as I turn my head into Kuroo's chest, burying my face in deep and wrapping my arms around him. I scream into his chest, muffled as he chuckles and runs a hand through my hair. Kozu taps my thigh and I stop screaming, pulling away and returning to my original position. I replace the ice on my cheek and scowl at Aima, continuing to play with Kozu's hair. Kuroo keeps playing with my hair in the meantime, helping me calm down. "So let me get this straight, you want to extend the competition to the end of the school year, follow the volleyball team around through their games and find more 'friends' for me… to kiss." I say slowly, and she nods enthusiastically.

"This, this is what I was talking about. Your add-ons, you just get something in your head and go with it. What are you going to tell Daichi? 'hey Mura-senpai! Let the dance club be your cheerleaders and follow you around through all your games and stuff! The whole time I'll be looking for people to add to the competition so Kimiko can make friends! By the way, do you mind adding her to the club next year?'" I mock as someone clears their throat in the doorway, making me jump. "I mean, I'm not opposed to the idea of having our own cheer team, in fact I think it'd help keep the boys motivated. As for adding people to the competition, it is Aima's project and I trust her to do what's best, but I would like to know who is going to be joining. Other than that, I would gladly welcome you to the club with open arms next year, but I'll be graduating." Daichi says, coming over to take back his spot as the club floods back into the room. "Kimiko! What happened to your cheek?" Suga gasps and I sigh softly. "It's complicated, but it's all fine and forgiven." I say, pouting as I glare at Aima. "You see Kimiko! We're all set!" Aima chirps happily as I just groan, rolling my eyes.
