At school the next morning your mind wanders away from the lesson you're supposed to be paying attention to. You can't help but reflect on what happened just a few hours ago.

Did he really mean it when he said it was a date? He did kiss me twice... So does he like me or was it just a heat of the moment thing.

You get pulled out of your thoughts by two shadows looming over you.

You look up and see Tadashi and Tsukishima staring back down at you.

"Oh hey guys," you give a half-assed smile.

"Hey Y/N!" Tadashi grins as he sits in front of you.

"Hi," Tsukishima replies.

You can't help but sneak out a small smirk at Tsukki's greeting.

Once the boys start eating, you look back down at your desk and continue your thoughts of earlier that morning.

Why would he kiss me if he didn't like me?

"Ready right, Y/N?" you barely hear Tadashi call to you.

"What?" you respond as you snap out of your thoughts.

"U-Uh you okay?"

"I'm fine Tadashi don't worry. What were you talking about before?"

"I was just telling Tsukki that you and I are ready for the test next week."

"What test?" you ask nervously.

"The one Kaji-sensei was just talking about before lunch started," Tsukishima tells you.

You look over at him, trying to comprehend what he's saying.

"Fuck," you groan, "another test?"

"Weren't you paying attention before, Y/N," Tadashi asks.

"No," you say as you shake your head, "sorry."

"Are you sure you're okay?" he says worriedly.

You nod in response.

"Y/N is probably just preoccupied thinking of other things," you hear Tsukki's voice interject.

You look over at Tsukishima and stare at him as heat rushes to your cheeks. Unable to look away, you continue to observe him while he looks proudly back at you.

"What does that mean?" Tadashi asks, breaking the moment between the two of you.

"Oh I just mean that Y/N is always so busy thinking about managing and you know, her date."

That asshole. Is he seriously bringing up this morning?

You try to calm yourself from blushing harder than you already are.

"I thought you didn't like Kuroo like that."

"I dunno," Tuskishima teases "what do you think about him, Y/N?"

"It wasn't a date and I don't think about Kuroo like that!" you snap, "Now can we please change the conversation."

"Sure," Tadashi shrugs "you guys want to get some food after school?"

"W-What about practice?" you ask them.

"There's no practice after school today," Tadashi tells you.

What the hell, Keishin? He better not be seeing grandpa without me again.

You stand up and excuse yourself from the table.

"I'll be right back," you tell them "I gotta go do something really quick."

You walk through the halls, thinking about how Keishin told you that grandpa was okay.

Did he lie to me? What the hell is going on with grandpa? I thought it wasn't something to worry about.

Once you get outside, you call your brother.

"Keishin?" you call out once the phone stops ringing.

"Yeah," you hear him groan "what is it, Y/N?"

"Why the hell aren't you holding practice today?"

"I'm going to see grandpa."

"And you weren't going to tell me?" you yell.

"No, it's not a big deal. You don't need to worry about it."

"You said that last time! I'm going with you this time," you tell him.

"No, you're not," you hear his bored tone lecture.

"Yes I am!" you say before he hangs up on you.

What a dick. I'm going to see grandpa whether he likes it or not.

After school, you pull your things together before leaving for the day.

"Hey Y/N," you hear Tadashi call out to you.

You look up to see Tadashi with Tsukishima behind him, both boys looking at you.

"Are you going to come out with us?" he asks innocently.

"I can't," you tell them as you shift your gaze towards Tsukishima, "I've got to go check on my grandpa."

You look back at Tadashi and smile at him.

"Next time I'll go, okay?"

"O-Okay," he replies awkwardly "I hope everything's okay."

"Thanks for understanding," you say as you walk past them.

Before you get too far, you feel a hand on your wrist. You turn around, angry that Tsukishima's stopping you, but when you look at his soft expression you lose your anger.

"Stay safe Y/N," he tells you "and text me when you get back home."

You're shocked at what he's said to you, but agree and then leave the classroom.

Once you get home, you walk around looking for your brother.

"Keishin!" you call out.

After walking through your entire home, you curse under your breath.

That piece of shit ditched me. He knew I wanted to go.

You put away your backpack and run out of the house. You reach Sakanoshita Market and look around for him there as well, but don't see him.

"Oba-san," you call to your aunt who's working there "have you seen Keishin?"

"No," she tells you "he hasn't been here today. I think he took the day off."

"Okay, thank you!"

You bow to your aunt and walk out of the store.

I guess I'm just going to have to get there on my own.

You run down the streets towards the bus stop.

Goddammit Keishin, you're so annoying!!

Finally, you get to the bus stop. Once it arrives, you hop on. As you sit on the bus, you text your brother.

Keishin you piece of shit. I can't believe you left me behind!!! I told you I was going with you!

After you finish complaining to your brother, you see Tsukishima's contact on your phone and wonder if you should message him. However, you quickly shrug it off.

I'll just text him when I'm home like he told me to.

Once you get off the bus, you walk over to the hospital.

"Excuse me," you call to the receptionist "can you tell me which room Ukai, Ikkei is in?"

"Sure, hold on a minute," she replies kindly.

After she types in a few things, she calls out to you.

"Hm, I don't see anybody in this hospital under that name. I'm sorry."
