"Ah, how did I end up in this situation again….?" Himuro thought to himself bitterly as he stared up at the semi-taller Kuroo, really he only had an inch or so above him, both completely naked and alone in the bathroom because his girlfriend wanted him to talk to Kuroo about Sayaka for her.
"If you think Sayaka would go for a guy who's dating another girl, you're seriously wrong, she'd slaughter anyone that'd try and cheat on their girlfriend let alone cheat on me herself."
Ah fuck, this was seriously not going well at all….. Himuro's thoughts trailed from the feeling of impending doom he was getting from Kuroo's very angry glare behind his wet raven hair to how this all led up to this very painful moment.

Morning practice was going well for Himuro, his tag team with Atsushi was going a bit smoother even though getting him to practice still took Chieko being right there and watching him. He was fairly certain it took the possibility of Atsushi quitting to keep Fukui from teasing him about just wanting to impress Chieko.
But Himuro had considered that was possibly why he was so compliant as of late.
However during one of their jogs on the beach, he'd noticed the Nekoma team practicing and oddly….Sayaka wasn't wearing Kuroo's jersey, she was still wearing rather tight, small clothes that didn't leave much to the imagination but unlike every other time they'd seen her, she wasn't wearing his jersey…..
He stupidly mentioned that to Shiori when he'd returned from the run, patting the sweat off his forehead and drinking water from the bottle she'd given him.

"What!?" Shiori snapped like it was all that surprising, to him it seemed like they'd break up at any moment now. To him, Sayaka not wearing his jersey anymore probably meant that they were done. But apparently Shiori did not care. "God damn it Chie come here we have to regroup, Sayaka's will is weakening we need to figure something out quickly!" Himuro was left alone, confused and sighing to himself again.
"I feel like this won't go well for me."

Atsushi sat down beside Chie and Shiori while the Coach monitored the two on two match between Himuro and Fukui VS Okamura and Wei. It was an odd set up, but they wanted to see how well the two shortest players would do against the two taller ones. And Atsushi had been whining about being tired so the Coach let him go finally.
What he walked in on was odd; the two were talking about that lady manager of Nekoma's. "She could have just forgotten it; it's hot outside I am sure she just didn't feel like wearing it in the heat. She is pretty tan, too." Chieko tried to reason with Shiori, but she looked very adamant. "She hardly wears anything I doubt wearing the jersey makes her overheat in the least." Was her grumbled drawl in return and it all just confused Atsushi.
What does wearing a jersey have to do with anything….?

"What are you talking about Chie-Chin, Shi-Chin?" He finally asked them before they could start bickering over it again, spooking them both since they'd apparently been so into the argument they hadn't noticed the giant's shadow cast over their smaller bodies. "Fuck don't scare me like that Atsushi…." Chieko grumbled as Shiori let out a tired sigh. "Sayaka isn't wearing Kuroo-San's jersey, I am afraid she's given up on them reconciling." She informed the taller basketball player, but at his confused look, Shiori gained her own befuddled expression.

"What does her wearing Kuro-Chin's jersey have to do with anything?" He grumbled, scratching the back of his neck before he grabbed Chieko's bag and hunted for some sweets. She was so used to it by now; she didn't even care to stop him. "Boyfriends give their girlfriends their jersey's to wear, it's like telling everyone, "I am dating this girl so screw off" to anyone that looks at her. If Sayaka's not wearing it anymore, she could have given it back or he could have asked for it back and that's a huge thing." Both blinked when Atsushi stopped rummaging through Chieko's bag, and actually looked a little thoughtful.

"….So I should give my jersey to Chie-Chin and Muro-Chin should give his to you?" He asked Shiori bluntly and Chieko's face exploded in a scarlet hue instantly. "You should try wearing it yourself before giving it to me!" Still, he ignored her as he grabbed his own bag to hunt down the jersey.
"Atsushi that is way too big for me—…." She was cut off by Atsushi dropping the very large jersey on her head, and then slowly he pulled it around her shoulders and then pat her head with his large hand.
She just sighed and lowered her head as Shiori managed a small smile. "At least he understands." She said softly, glancing over at the steel door that led out to the beach where Nekoma was playing.

When lunch swung around Shiori hadn't bothered Sayaka about the jersey, said girl was pretty quiet while they made their food and Shiori was in charge of dishing it out to the boys once it was made behind the counter. When Himuro came around, she tugged him closer and whispered in his ear. "Could you talk to Kuroo-San for me? Ask him if we could play another game of volleyball with them later tonight once we're given free practice." Himuro looked confused but he nodded all the same. "Sure, but I hope you're not trying to get involved in their personal business." He said calmly, tilting his head some as Shiori looked away casually. "Of course not….."
She so was, god damn it. This was where he got hooked because the sweet smile she sent him made his heart beat a little faster. So he walked away quickly to Nekoma's table.

"Kuroo-San, may I have a seat?" The Nekoma Captain lifted his head and swallowed the rice he'd been chewing and nodded. He looked less annoyed today, likely since Sayaka wasn't flashing her breasts at every poor guy in the building. "Go ahead."
"Thanks." Settling down, he noticed Kenma's narrowed eyes on him before he resumed nibbling on the small bit of food he had in front of him between playing on his phone. No wonder he was so small.
"I was wondering if perhaps you'd like to play another game with you guys tonight, everyone quite enjoyed playing." Actually he had no idea if they wanted to play again, but he was sure he could get Hotaru to help persuade Okamura into making everyone play if push comes to shove. "No problem, I enjoyed beating your asses." He grinned at the raven haired man, whose lips twitched upward some in amusement. "We'll see how it goes this time around, Kuroo-San."
Instead of leaving the table for Yosen's, he stuck around Nekoma's and quite enjoyed talking to them. Yamamoto was quite amusing about how jealous he was over Yosen having so many pretty ladies taking care of them, until Yaku scolded him into silent embarrassment. They had such an amusing but perfect dynamic.

Then Sayaka showed up, glomping Kenma from behind and Kuroo's relaxed demeanor turned tense beside Himuro. "Kenmaaaaaa! You need to eat more or you'll be a shorty forever!" She whined as she cuddled him from behind, the boy shifting anxiously before settling with a sigh when he realized he'd have to deal with her clinging to his back. "If I eat anymore I'd pop, my stomach isn't big as yours to fit it all." Himuro couldn't help but snicker alongside Yaku and Yamamoto, and for a moment Sayaka looked torn between being offended and impressed with Kenma's burn. "Ugh, you're so clever, I love it so much." She sighed dramatically before plopping next to her cousin and picking at his food absentmindedly.

"Sayaka-San, I was hoping you wouldn't mind being our setter again during our game tonight." Himuro asked her rather bravely, and pretended not to notice Kuroo's sharp eyes flickering toward him, scrutinizing his intentions thoroughly. But Himuro had a perfect poker face.
Kuroo wanted to play poker with him, Akaashi and Bokuto and see how that went really badly now.
"Oh?" Cat like amber eyes lit up and she grinned, looking purely feral. "Sure, need to give my dear cousin a good work out again!" Kenma rolled his eyes before burying his face in his game, and Himuro only smiled as his thanks before he resumed eating.

"Sayaka-Chan, why aren't you wearing Kuroo-San's jersey?" Hotaru asked Sayaka as she stretched to get ready for their game; apparently it was easy to get Okamura to agree to play them again since he'd had a good time the night before, and Hotaru mentioned she had fun watching them play.
"I don't see much of a point in it, Kuroo's probably gonna ask for it back pretty soon. We're not getting back together, I should learn to accept that before it's made final. It'll hurt less, that way." Sayaka said simply, rolling her shoulder before her amber hues directed toward the Nekoma team. "Maybe you're getting ahead of yourself…." She trailed off, and Sayaka merely shrugged her shoulders and smiled at Hotaru though. "Don't worry, thanks for your support I appreciate it." She walked over to the Yosen team to discuss strategy, but just before they began Shiori tugged Himuro to the side.

"Could you try and talk to Kuroo alone about Sayaka?" She asked quietly and the raven haired man looked at his girlfriend with pursed lips. "I am not sure how that's possibly going to go considering how defensive he is about her, if anyone looks at her the wrong way he looks like he's murdering you with his eyes." It was a sad fact, he saw Lev talking to the girl and Kuroo's stare made him run away after he finally got his question answered—worst part about it was, it was just about his serving posture.
"Please Tatsuya; Sayaka really loves Kuroo I don't want them to end up broken apart like this because of something so stupid. I just don't want her to give up on them and if there's even the slightest sign that he still cares for her, then I am sure she'd have a much easier time working things out between them herself."
That was a total lie, Shiori was so going to stick her head in where it doesn't belong regardless, but she was looking up at Himuro with such a cute face….
"Please…." She added softly, and then leaned up to lightly peck his cheek. Oh fuck, was this what it meant to be whipped? He had a bad feeling about this situation, but he nodded all the same. "I'll see what I can do." The squeal and tight hug made it all worth it, well, up until this point…..

Himuro had gotten Kuroo pulled to the side after the match ended; of course they were the ones that lost. Nekoma was far more experienced even with Atsushi on their team. The team's general height class got them far, as did Lev's fuck ups, but in the end they let the ball drop. He'd managed to get him into a very deep conversation about volleyball, specifically blocking. Kuroo's weakness was he enjoyed teaching it seemed, and Himuro himself actually forgot what he was supposed to be doing until a mildly wet Kenma popped his head outside to let them know it was getting late and they should shower.

"Oh, my apologies Kuroo-San, I hadn't noticed everyone had gone in without us." Himuro said this honestly, because he had forgotten during their conversation. "It's alright, let's get cleaned up." Kuroo said with a soft laugh before the two headed inside.
Ah now he had to figure out how to ask Kuroo without offending him anyway, or making it seem more than what it was. Damn this would be hard, Kuroo was rather…. sensitive about Sayaka.

Washing side by side in silence wasn't awkward or anything, but Himuro was unsure this was how he wanted things to go entirely. "Sayaka-San is an impressive Setter, as is Kenma-San did she teach them or did they learn together?" Himuro could instantly see Kuroo's shoulders tense up some at the mention of Sayaka, maybe it was because he used her first name, but she had been insistent on them all calling her Sayaka at least.
"When I met Kenma and Sayaka, she was already playing volleyball. When I got into it she helped me teach it to Kenma to get him out of the house and away from those video games constantly. Subsequently Kenma learned to set from her, and she had always been the one telling him to analyze people he couldn't understand as well so he wouldn't offend anyone. He was never good with people, but he's really smart….I think he later mirrored her style unintentionally, but after she became Nekoma's manager she's helped him refine it more." There was a fondness to Kuroo's sharp amber hues that had Himuro thinking that there was still some love for Sayaka in there, unless that was directed toward Kenma-San but he didn't think that was the case.

"Sayaka-San does seem very sharp, watching her and Kenma-San having a battle of the minds like that was fun to watch even though I should have been paying more attention to the ball." He chuckled quietly as he rinsed the shampoo from his hair. "Yeah, she loves keeping people on their toes, maybe more than she should…." Kuroo's voice turned to a dark growl and Himuro resisted the urge to step away from him.
"I think dating someone like that would be interesting, having to stay on high alert for surprises sounds exciting." He received silence and Himuro decided to be bold. "You are still dating aren't you? I noticed she wasn't wearing your jersey today though, but—"And that was where he fucked up.

And that was how Himuro ended up like this, staring up at a seething cat with territorial issues. This time, Himuro did step away from Kuroo. "Kuroo-San, I can assure you, I am very much happy with Shiori and I have no intention—"
"—Then why as you sticking your nose into my business? Sayaka and I are far from broken up; she's just being childish and doesn't realize how much I need to focus on the team right now. This is our third year, and there's so much I want to get done for everyone, including her…." Kuroo grit his teeth and glanced away from Himuro, face clearly twisted into frustration and Himuro just sighed.
"Because my girlfriend doesn't like seeing people sad, and Sayaka is apparently very sad….Kuroo-San, let's get some clothes on. I think I should just tell you what I know instead of trying to be secretive, this is awkward enough as is."
Kuroo's brows furrowed some but he nodded and Himuro let out a sigh of relief before they finally finished their showers.
Damn it would have sucked if he killed him in the shower.

"I honestly don't know all of the details like Shiori does, but apparently Sayaka's started to believe that you no longer care for her like you did before and Shiori was worried about you two breaking up over something stupid—not that I know what you two fought over, it's none of my business but Shiori is worried." Himuro was far more comfortable talking out in the hall with Kuroo, especially since he could run if the other got too angry. But actually, he just looked sad and confused. "Could I talk to Shinju-San? Find out what it is she knows about why Sayaka's like this?" Kuroo asked with a sigh before following him down the hall when Himuro nodded and led him to the girl's room. "Of course, and I know this isn't my business and I shouldn't say anything, but I think you two just really need to talk it out…."
Kuroo sighed, but he smiled. "Yeah, I know….I am going to talk to her, but I want to know what Sayaka's been thinking before I go in unprepared. She really does keep me on my toes….."

Thanks to Eri, when Himuro pulled Shiori from the room everyone thought it was for a booty call. Shiori wished it was when she came face to face with Kuroo just down the hall. It was pretty awkward, Shiori fidgeted in place before Himuro gently nudged her to get her going. "A-ah….Sayaka told us what happened between you two, she said she was really worried about how you had been working yourself so hard and she was going to try and get you to relax and sleep….but you two had an argument and she said that she had said some stupid things….She told me she was dressing like she was to get your attention and get you jealous in hopes that you'd get all possessive over her or something like that, basically she wanted to see if you still cared…." Shiori mumbled quietly, glancing away from Kuroo's piercing stare. "But it hasn't worked, and she said she was trying to accept what was going to happen to her eventually so it would hurt less…." At that, Kuroo's semi-calm expression turned to a deep scowl.
"Shiori-Chan, can you ask Sayaka to come to the kitchen so I can speak with her? I don't care how you do it, just do it." Turning on his heel curtly, he stormed off and Shiori swallowed.

"He's kind of scary…." She mumbled quietly, and Himuro let out a soft chuckle before shaking his head. "You asked for this by getting into their business….You also owe me getting me involved in this in the first place." He smirked down at Shiori, and she suddenly felt like his request would be far from innocent. "I-I am gonna go get Sayaka…." Speeding off down the hall, Himuro laughed before heading back to his room.
Damn, was he tired….

Ayano always got hungry before she went to sleep, it was odd but a routine she'd formed over the years. The other's didn't seem to notice or care that she'd walk off just before lights out, though Sayaka was missing when she'd come back from the bathroom. Shiori was huddled under her blankets mumbling to herself incoherently and Chieko seemed to be consoling her, while at the same time calling her stupid for getting involved?
She assumed it had something to do with Sayaka and Kuroo-San…..
Either way it was none of her concern, she made her way to the kitchen deciding what she wanted to eat while she played on her phone absentmindedly. But once she opened the door, her shoulders tensed at the sight.

Sayaka, pinned to the counter very willingly, with her long legs and arms wrapped around Kuroo's muscular frame and his face buried in her neck, likely half the reason she was moaning. The other half was likely his hands wondering up her inner thigh….
"T-Tetsurou…~" She mewled, and Ayano stood there a second longer before switching her phone over to the camera and turned the flash off.
She took a picture and then headed back to their room, grumbling to herself quietly. "I am sure they'll be happy to see they made up…." But now she'd have to make Chieko give her some of her snacks so she could eat peacefully before bed.

(Make up sex really is great, at least so I've been told. XD Looky, an update within two months its a miracle!
Apologies for any mistakes or typos and such, no beta monkey but I am still looking. I've really gotten into writing my Haikyuu yaoi so I actually almost forgot about this-
My guilt made me write this chapter in two days. xD Sorry there was no scene between Sayaka and Kuroo on how they made up, I think I might leave that for their actual story? I haven't decided if I am going to put the events of this training camp in that or just pretend it never happened. Anyway, next chapter will be the end of the training camp, and then I am gonna do some fluff for the Yosen boys.
And some smut, hehe.)
