Every breath you took was filled with the smell of vanilla, it made you stir hungry for dessert. When you opened your eyes you realized your were cuddled into Ukai's chest, the smell was coming from his shirt. He was still soundly asleep, his hair was disheveled and falling in front of his eyes only making him more adorable. You had the urge but didn't want to wake him so you tilted your head up and gently placed a kiss on the underside of his chin. His eyelid twitched slightly at your kiss and he began to slowly blink and open his eyes.
He looked down at you and gently stroked his fingers down the side of your face, he thin slid them along your jaw ending at the tip of your chin. He leaned in slowly and placed his lips against your in a sweet kiss.
"Good morning Princess" he whispered, his voice still deep from sleep.
"Morning handsome, how did you sleep?" you asked.
"That was the best I've slept in a long time actually" he said smiling down at you.
"Top 10 sleeps for sure" you said with a small chuckle. "I better get up though need to get food ready for everyone so we can win again today" you propped up on one elbow and glanced at both sides of you trying to decide the best way to get off the bed.
"Crawl over me" Ukai said rolling onto his back and putting his arms behind his head. He had a cheesy smile on his face as he motioned with his eyes. In one swift motion you pushed up from the bed and landed in his lap with a knee placed on either side of his hip. Your hand slid under the rim of his shirt and rested on his abs for balance. Leaning forward you brought your lips within inches of his but then swung your leg off the bed and stood to your feet.
"Thanks for letting me up" you said with a teasing smile.
"Can we just go back to you being on top of me, I'd like to burn that image into my mind for later" he said sitting on the edge of the bed and pulling you by your hips closer to him.
"Problem is we have company and I don't want to traumatize poor Tsukki" you said glancing over his shoulder at the grumpy sleeping blonde.
"They say dying in your sleep is peaceful" he joked as he also looked over his shoulder.
"Keishin! That's not nice" you said gently swatting his arm.
"I'm only joking, but I've gotta say its never been so tempting" he chuckled. He nuzzled into the crook of your neck and lightly bit at the sensitive skin. You had to fight the urge to moan but your body jerked automatically and pressed closer to him. "Like that huh? I'll have to keep that in mind" he said as he kissed the same spot.
"Stop teasing me, I need to go cook" you said pulling back slightly from him.
"Let's just order food so you can stay here with me longer" he pulled you back up against him and rested his hands on your butt after giving it a gentle squeeze.
"Someone woke up needy this morning" you said teasing him. "I need to make a call then, can you let me go for a minute?" you asked.
"I think I forgot how, I'll just have to come with you" he said shaking his head no with a goofy grin on his face.
"Well come on then lover boy" you lightly laughed as you reached for your phone on the night stand. He kept his arms wrapped around your waist and waddled behind you out onto the balcony. You quickly found a number in your phone and hit call.

"Good Morning Mrs Elaine, I'm sorry to bother you this early but I was calling to see if you might be available this morning? I know its last second and obviously I will compensate you accordingly" you said. Ukai wasn't sure who you were talking to and couldn't understand what they were saying on the other end. "Yes its for about 20 people. If that's not possible I understand I can just call someone local. You can do it? Oh great thank you so much, just let yourself in like always. Thank you see you shortly" you said ending the conversation.
"Who was that?" Ukai asked as he rested his chin on your shoulder, enjoying the early morning air and peak of sunshine.
"Not to sound snooty but that was my personal chef. I asked her to come over and make everyone breakfast, she is stopping by the store real quick and then will head this way. I just want everyone to have a good home-cooked breakfast even if I didn't make it" you said with a shrug.
"I don't think it sounds snooty, I will say though it makes me wonder how anyone could offer you a good life when you already have everything at your fingertips. Hard to compete" he said with a light chuckle.
"My life may be filled with things and ease but its not always a good life. Its great to have a big house, but not when you have to stay in it alone. Loneliness can feel deadly at times and stuff can't love you back. Why do you think I have people stay over all the time? It's not so I can show off the wonderful things I have, its because I'm tired of being alone all the time. Its pathetic to say but I need attention and affection, sometimes those things are all that keep me going." You explained, it was tough to hide the sadness you felt at admitting these truths about yourself.
"It's not pathetic to admit you want love, we all do." He said.
"Yea but most people don't see it that way, they just see some rich girl who isn't happy with her life and then I seem greedy. The thing is though I'd give everything up for love, as sappy as that sounds. Problem is I'm scared to fully love someone again because it didn't work out well for me the last time and I ended up a shell of a person. So now I just fill my life with things that make me happy in the moment and play with the hearts of others I guess" you said shaking your head.
"Don't say it like that, you aren't playing with anyone's heart." He scolded as he turned you to face him. "Answer me a question honestly, do you have real feelings for any of these guys?" he asked.
"Well obviously" you said rolling your eyes.
"Then don't say you are just playing with their hearts, someone with real feelings doesn't do that. I told you before to just be open to it and I meant it. You need to lose these trust issues you have if you ever want to have real love again. I don't think what you had with your ex was love though, someone who loves you wouldn't bring you down and make you feel like that. I would never make you feel bad about who you are, or ask you to change. Granted if you were mine I'd want you to be only mine but otherwise I think your goofy, laid back, weeby self is perfect." His eyes traveled your face as he spoke and he ran his thumb over your bottom lip.

"Its easy to say I'm perfect when you haven't seen me so filled with anxiety that I cant function, or so depressed that I just lay in bed all day sleeping. Id like to see how perfect you think I am then" you said with a laugh.
"I don't know, still sounds perfect to me. Even diamonds have imperfections" he mused as he rested his forehead against yours and gently rubbed the tip of his nose against yours.
The balcony door then slid open and both of you froze in place.
"Coach? What are you doing out here?" Tsukki asked rubbing the sleep from his eyes. Ukai took a big step back from you and turned towards him, revealing you in the process.
"We were just talking, didn't want to wake you" He explained shoving his hands into his pockets. Tsukki narrowed his eyes at him but didn't say anything more.
"How did you sleep Tsukki-poo?" you asked stepping around Ukai towards Tsukki.
"Fine" was all he said.
"Good I'm glad to hear it, I did too, you are very comfy to cuddle" you teased. Tsukki didn't really respond but he slightly opened his arms as if he wanted a hug which surprised you. You quickly stepped forward and wrapped your arms around his waist, his arms encircled you. He looked over the top of your head directly at Ukai, but he didn't flinch or look away he just half smiled at him until Tsukki looked away.
"I'm going back to sleep" Tsukki said but he didn't release you from the hug, he squeezed tighter and carried you towards the bed.
"I need to go check and see if my chef is here yet though" you laughed as your feet barely touched the ground as he walked.
"I'm sure coach can go check for you, right?" he asked glancing over his shoulder at Ukai.
"I think we should both go check I'm sure L/N needs to get dressed for the day anyhow" Ukai said and placed a firm hand on Tsukki's shoulder.
"It doesn't really seem like a two man job" Tsukki said grumpily.
"Humor me" Ukai insisted not letting go of Tsukki's shoulder. Tsukki heavily sighed before releasing his arms from around you, he wouldn't look at either of you in the eye in that moment. His was looking down but his eyes darted from side to side as if he was at war with himself.
"Don't hit me" he whispered under his breath and he quickly pushed his face towards yours and planted his lips on yours. It took you by complete surprise and you stood their frozen with your eyes wide in shock for a moment. He then pulled back and shook Ukai's hand free from his shoulder and left the room. Ukai didn't say anything because he was just as surprised, he just followed after him and gently shut the door behind him.
"Damnit" you groaned and sat on the edge of your bed, your fingers lightly pressed to your lips.
You took your time getting dressed in hopes to avoid everyone for a bit until your head wasn't such a tangled mess. Digging through your closet you decided to wear a simple pair of jeans and a baseball style jersey tee that you had bought online. Your hair was a bit messy so your ran your fingers through it and called it good, you then grabbed the necklace Kuroo had gotten you along with the earrings from Ukai and the ring from Daichi and slipped them all on and headed out to join the guys.
Most of them had woken up by this point and they were getting dressed or stumbling through the house half asleep. You made your way to the kitchen where Mrs. Elaine was busy cooking and fighting off the sleepy hungry boys.
"It smells amazing in here" you said as you walked in.
"Thank you Ms L/N, its almost ready for you and your guests" she said motioning at the stove full of food.
"I really appreciate you coming over on such short notice, i sent you some money to hopefully make up for it but let me know if its not enough." You said as you sat at the island.
"I'm sure its more than enough Ms L/N, I'm always glad to cook for you and your guests. They seem like very sweet boys even though a few of them keep coming in here trying to sneak off with food" she said with a chuckle.
"Sorry about that, they can be a handful" you laughed.
"Boys will be boys, they remind me of my sons when they were young. These boys are much more handsome than my boys but don't tell them I said that" she joked.
Once the food was done she placed everything on the table and everyone gathered around to dig in. The conversation was easy as everyone ate but you could tell a few of the guys were starting to worry about what today would have in store.
When everyone was done eating they finished getting dressed and began to leave towards the school where the bus was. You were about to leave when Atsuma stopped you.
"Your just going to leave us here by ourselves all day?" He questioned as he blocked your way to the front door.
"I didn't realize that you were both children who couldn't entertain themselves for a day. Go explore the town or entertain yourself in the game room, I'll be back later most likely but I don't know what time." You said trying to step around him.
"Can't we come with you?" he asked moving to block your way again.
"Only team members on the bus sorry!" you laughed and pushed past him quickly closing the door behind you.
"Maybe if you didn't flirt so much she would've let you go" you heard Osamu say as you shut the door which made you laugh. You stopped laughing when you spotted Oikawa who was patiently waiting for you at the gate.
"I'm surprised your still here" you said as you walked up to him "You plan on stalking me all day" you teased.
"No I was actually going to head home but I wanted to say goodbye properly" he explained. "I wanted to first say thank you for letting me stay last night and I hope that maybe I was good enough that you will consider giving me a chance. You don't have tell me now though I know you need to go. But I did want to ask before I leave, can I kiss you?" he asked
"Not just going to forcibly take one now?" you laughed.
"I will if that's what you like" he said narrowing his eyes in sexy way.
"No no no, asking is nice for a change. Yes you can kiss me but no funny business" you pointed your finger at him in an accusatory way.
"I'll be good I promise" he said raising his hands in the air to surrender. He stepped closer to you and gently placed his hand on your face, his thumb gently stroked your cheek. His face slowly came closer to yours and you could feel his hot breath against your lips. His movements were slow and it only built the tension between your lips. With a small breath out he leaned forward and pressed his to yours, his lips were very soft and tasted of cherry which was shocking at first. The kiss lasted for several seconds and it made your heart flutter lightly. When he pulled back he planted a small kiss on the tip of your nose and stood back fully up with a goofy grin on his face.
"That was one to remember that's for sure" he chuckled as he slid his hands into the pockets of his jacket and turned to leave.
" If you say so shittykawa" you called out to him. He stopped dead in his tracks and turned toward you with a deep frown "Sorry habit! Bye Tooru!" you called out, his face quickly changed to a smile and he turned back around and continued walking away.
You quickly hurried off towards the school to get on the bus with the others. When you arrived everyone was already on the bus and Ukai stood by the door looking rather impatient. His glare softened slightly as you approached and as you passed you ran a couple fingers across his abs making him tense.
You went to find your normal seat next to Tsukki but he had his bag in the seat beside him and refused to look at you as you stood there staring at him. When he didn't budge you bit your inner lip to hide that you were upset and turned to find another seat. Glancing around you locked eyes with Suga and he scooted over patting the seat beside him.
"I was warming it up for you" he joked as you walked over.
"Thank now my butt wont be so cold" you said poking his side as you sat down.
"I could've helped with that problem" Daichi said from the seat on the other side. You turned towards him and he had a very sexy grin on his face, he reached his hand out for yours. You quickly took it and you both held hands across the isle as the bus took off.
