back again

Summary:

Hootkaashi: please can all the miyagi captains get along for once
ennosuffering: you're asking for the impossible, Akaashi

Honestly, they're trying their best to get along. Key word: trying.

Notes:

it's...? sort of a sequel to 'fresh or something'? there's a few refs to the first one. but. y'know.

watch me sink further and further into self-indulgence valley, I'm so far in you can't see me anymore

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

ennosuffering: Yahaba let us have peace

classyahaba: no

classyahaba: you’re forbidden from leaving me alone with teru/futa

classyahaba: also off topic but

classyahaba: don't you have a teammate that keeps stripping during practice?

ennosuffering: oh Tanaka? yeah what about him?

classyahaba: I think he's somehow rubbed off on my team because wtf

classyahaba: it's been barely a day and there are shirts flying everywhere

time2party: are u sure that's not bc something else is happening ;)

futakuchis: if you're in the change room, that's nothing new, yahaba

Hootkaashi: what's this about stripping

classyahaba: akaashi no

ennosuffering: ok well the best thing to do is either force them back into their clothing or take their shirt and put it on

classyahaba: put it on???

ennosuffering: yeah

ennosuffering: then they look at you funny and have to awkwardly try and ask you to give their shirt back

ennosuffering: just keep walking away with it

ennosuffering: it's great

futakuchis: damn ennoshita

futakuchis: you're good at manipulating people, huh

futakuchis: managing*

ennosuffering: I do my best

shirabae: oh ushijima patted me on the head

classyahaba: THOUGH SPEAKING OF DOGS

classyahaba: I think kyoutani wants to kill me

Hootkaashi: oh boy

Hootkaashi: what did you do

futakuchis: what didn't yahaba do

classyahaba: SHUT UP

classyahaba: it might have been the shirt thing idk

ennosuffering: wait did you seriously take his shirt and put it on?

classyahaba: you told me to!

ennosuffering: I didn't know we were talking about Kyoutani but R.I.P. Yahaba

Hootkaashi: was nice knowing you

time2party: invite me to the wedding!!

time2party: mine does

shirabae: I call bullshit

classyahaba: you would, wouldn't you??

classyahaba: with all the cows in your school they're practically raising you in bullshit

shirabae: they're horses you uncultured swine

futakuchis: who has horses at their fucking school what the fuck

shirabae: shiratorizawa does. we're the best school in the prefecture.

shirabae: that's why

shirabae: you should have gone to

classyahaba: DO NOT FINISH THAT SENTENCE SHIRABU

classyahaba: THIS IS YOUR FINAL WARNING

Hootkaashi: please can all the miyagi captains get along for once

ennosuffering: you're asking for the impossible, Akaashi

ennosuffering: give up before you get involved

Hootkaashi: what did I do to deserve this


 

futakuchis: AHEM

futakuchis: so akaashi how's tokyo?

Hootkaashi: tokyo is the same as usual

Hootkaashi: it's a city, it doesn't really have feelings

futakuchis: how do you feel now that the 3rd years are gone?

Hootkaashi: at this point in time I still can't get rid of them

Hootkaashi: they're all chatting outside rn

Hootkaashi: so ok I guess. you?

futakuchis: they're still our fucking parents tbh

futakuchis: it's like they don't trust us on our own

futakuchis: moniwa came running in bc he saw kogane doing laps around the building

futakuchis: it was a little embarrassing bc he just got out of school and yet he still came back to parent us in a heartbeat

Hootkaashi: I take it you don't know my seniors then

Hootkaashi: during practice I did a setter dump at match point and bokuto who was on the benches

Hootkaashi: stood up

Hootkaashi: and started crying I kid you not

Hootkaashi: konoha legitimately thought something was wrong and freaked out

futakuchis: bro kamasaki fucking carried sakunami to the water fountain bc our baby libero fell over in practice and scraped his knees

futakuchis: his knee pad covered knees mind you

futakuchis: I feel your pain

Hootkaashi: you don't understand

Hootkaashi: at the door at this very moment

Hootkaashi: bokuto is with kuroo tetsurou from nekoma

Hootkaashi: holding an entire raw fish and a bag of rice

futakuchis: ok I don't want to know

futakuchis: you win

futakuchis: you have suffered the most

ennosuffering: the suffering games™


 

shirabae: akaashi you play setter don't you?

Hootkaashi: yes. You do as well, I'm pretty sure?

shirabae: yes. I'm very good at it

Hootkaashi: you'd have to be, to play setter for shiratorizawa

shirabae: yes

Hootkaashi: so ...

Hootkaashi: did you come here to brag or did you want something from me?

shirabae: oh

shirabae: no it's nothing bye

Hootkaashi: ???

Hootkaashi: are you ok?

Hootkaashi: hello?

futakuchis: holy shit akaashi

futakuchis: you scared shirabu away

futakuchis: what kind of sorcery

Hootkaashi: I didn't mean to? I'm sorry?

futakuchis: all the blame is on you now

Hootkaashi: are you trying to make me feel bad? I didn't even do anything...

shirabae: shut your fucking mouth for once futakuchi

shirabae: akaashi I'll message you privately

shirabae: sorry

Hootkaashi: it's... fine...?


 

shirabae: ok I'm awkward as fuck about this but

shirabae: I just wanted to ask about your pronouns

shirabae: like how you've written they/them on your profile? those things

Hootkaashi: oh, no problem, what about them?

shirabae: do you like... gender

Hootkaashi: what?

shirabae: I'm confused. like. what are you

shirabae: like I'm not trying to be rude I genuinely don't know how this works

shirabae: and since no one else questioned it I didn't really want to ask in the group chat

shirabae: um sorry

Hootkaashi: it's fine lol

Hootkaashi: don't stress

Hootkaashi: basically instead of he/him, I go by they/them

Hootkaashi: it's like if you look at cisgenders as a fork and a spoon

Hootkaashi: I'm a spork??

Hootkaashi: that's how bokuto explained it to people so I'm hoping it's an explanation that you can understand

shirabae: yeah ok I get that

shirabae: that's cool I guess

shirabae: I noticed we were still calling you a boy sometimes in the chat though??

Hootkaashi: oh I don't really care sometimes

Hootkaashi: if it slips and I don't like it, I will let you know, don't worry

shirabae: ok thanks

shirabae: sorry for the trouble

Hootkaashi: no problem

Hootkaashi: if you have any questions, you can ask

Hootkaashi: don't be afraid to talk to me

shirabae: I think you're my new fav anyway

Hootkaashi: I'm flattered

shirabae: you better be.

Hootkaashi: ah shirabu. never change.


 

futakuchis: now I'm really curious about why shirabu ran away

shirabae: is it that hard for you to mind your own goddamn business

futakuchis: let me take a wild guess

shirabae: for fucks sake

futakuchis: PRONOUNS

shirabae: WHAT THE FUCK

futakuchis: AHA FUTAKUCHI WINS AGAIN

classyahaba: shove it futakuchi, shirabu wanted to get educated, let him

shirabae: do you even know what education is, yahaba

classyahaba: the ONE TIME I try to be nice to you

Hootkaashi: in hindsight it was bound to happen

classyahaba: keiji's right

time2party: so just out of curiosity

time2party: are any of you in a relationship??

shirabae: I am. but you all knew that

shirabae: except akaashi

Hootkaashi: well now I know

shirabae: mhm

ennosuffering: I'm not, I broke up with my gf a while back

shirabae: oh. you ok?

ennosuffering: fine, thanks for asking!

Hootkaashi: when was this?

ennosuffering: like two months ago? it's fine, seriously, I had too much volleyball to worry about to be sad

time2party: wipes tear

time2party: a true warrior among us mortal men

shirabae: you're so full of shit yuuji what does that even mean

Hootkaashi: so terushima, what's your story?

time2party: shirabae you wound me

time2party: oh me?? I'm single only bc I've dated every person in my year and some lower years too

time2party: or at least I tried to date them all

time2party: it didn't go so well with some of them but at least I have a lot of phone numbers now!!

ennosuffering: wow.

time2party: I'm getting better at dealing w emotions ahaha

time2party: it's just fun y'know?? I just need to have fun, that's all I want

time2party: but I've started to learn that it does hurt people and I'm trying to be more considerate for everyone's sake :)

time2party: kinda the reason why I don't date in my team but I totally would if they were genuinely up for it

time2party: ew sorry I rambled a bit

time2party: I hope u guys don't hate me

ennosuffering: no it's fine, I'm actually glad you told us. It always seemed like there was such a big divide between you and the rest of us but you're a good person and you're learning, Terushima

ennosuffering: at the very least, I'm proud of you

time2party: aww thanks mom <3

Hootkaashi: I don't know you very well but I agree with ennoshita. You do you.

ennosuffering: TERU, CHILD, I’M NOT YOUR MOM

shirabae: way to call yourself out, ennoshita

shirabae: damn this became a lot more emotional than I expected

shirabae: do your best I guess

shirabae: as long as you don't come to our schools to give us stupid fucking hugs again

time2party: WOW WHAT A WONDERFUL IDEA

time2party: I WISH I THOUGHT OF THAT

shirabae: YOU DID THINK OF THAT

time2party: I'M COMING FOR YOU KENJIROU

futakuchis: KOGANEGAWA

futakuchis: HE IS A MESS

futakuchis: im gonna

ennosuffering: Tanaka and/or Nishinoya

ennosuffering: maybe Tsukishima???

Ennosuffering: every day it's one of them

classyahaba: kyoutani??? probably?? define 'handle'...

shirabae: holy shit are we actually having this bitch off right here and now

Hootkaashi: yes

Hootkaashi: bitching about things is the only thing we're good at

Hootkaashi: apart from volleyball I guess there's that too


 

time2party: uhhh guys?

futakuchis: what's up

time2party: not to ruin the fun

time2party: which I’ve been doing a lot lately (ironically)

futakuchis: wait really

time2party: omg ok yeah I know it might sound weird coming from me!!!

time2party: honestly it's fine now but

time2party: it has the potential to be really mean

time2party: so yeah

time2party: sorry I'm kinda not feeling it right now

shirabae: that's the most intelligent thing I have ever seen you write tbh

ennosuffering: if it makes you uncomfortable, we'll stop

ennosuffering: sorry Terushima

time2party: it's ok!! it's no big deal

time2party: I just didn't want this group to turn into a bully group y'know

futakuchis: ok we respect that

futakuchis: but now that we've abolished the bitch off what should we do instead

time2party: u could like... show off. or something

shirabae: show off??

time2party: like

time2party: today's question is:

time2party: "who's the prettiest person on your team"?

shirabae: me?

classyahaba: me

Hootkaashi: me..

futakuchis: oh my god

futakuchis: STOP THEM

ennosuffering: the pretty setters cannot be stopped

ennosuffering: damn now I'm calling them that too

ennosuffering: this is all futakuchi's fault

futakuchis: they're setters and they're pretty what more do you want from me

time2party: I hate this because it's true


 

classyahaba: question

ennosuffering: shoot

Hootkaashi: get down before someone gets hurt

time2party: stop drop and roll, man

futakuchis: where's the fire

shirabae: wherever the fuck the fire wants to be

time2party: too hot

futakuchis: hot damn

ennosuffering: call the police

Hootkaashi: and the fireman

classyahaba: .........

classyahaba: ... woah

classyahaba: did you guys plan all that?

classyahaba: because holy wow

classyahaba: coordination

futakuchis: we're becoming more in sync and that scares me

ennosuffering: I don't want to be in sync with you

futakuchis: why not? I'm a fucking delight

Hootkaashi: ok ignoring the fucking delight over there, what was the question that you had, shigeru?

classyahaba: oh yeah

classyahaba: it's actually about volleyball believe it or not

shirabae: in a volleyball captains chat... a question about volleyball.... you don't say........

classyahaba: hush

classyahaba: ok so!!

classyahaba: I’m a setter, as you all know

time2party: a pretty setter

classyahaba: yes ok thank you terushima

classyahaba: and I just wanted to know – do you guys have like

classyahaba: setter expectations?

Hootkaashi: setter expectations?

ennosuffering: what do you mean?

classyahaba: I mean! I’m definitely not oikawa when it comes to setting

classyahaba: and I’m kind of afraid that the team sometimes forgets that?

classyahaba: like I’m not terrible, I’m just not amazing, you feel?

futakuchis: um ok but do you set like koganegawa because jfc

ennosuffering: shut up Futakuchi, we all know you’re secretly proud of him

shirabae: who cares if you’re not oikawa tbh

shirabae: one less oikawa tooru in the world is a blessing

classyahaba: it might just be a self-doubt thing again sorry guys

classyahaba: SHIRABU COM E ON

classyahaba: I WILL SERIOUSLY COME FOR YOU

classyahaba: ONE MORE JIBE AT OIKAWA AND YOUR HEAD IS MINE

time2party: ;)

futakuchis: oh my fucking god, every time

Hootkaashi: you’ll be fine, yahaba, we all have our moments

Hootkaashi: the setter is the control tower but we’re all still human

Hootkaashi: don’t think too much about anything but delivering the best toss

ennosuffering: Akaashi’s right. and anyway, I’ve seen Kyoutani spike even your worst tosses so don’t forget a team is made up of six people, not just one

time2party: ‘your worst tosses’ wow enno dishing it out

ennosuffering: hey it’s the truth, and I don’t mean it in a bad way

ennosuffering: you know that, right, Yahaba?

classyahaba: yeah it’s fine I got it

classyahaba: seriously, thanks guys, you always know what to say

classyahaba: except shirabu

shirabae: well I can’t be any worse than oikawa tooru

classyahaba: fucking hell shirabu I will cut you


 

ennosuffering: I just realised that having a Kenji, a Keiji and a Kenjirou is gonna get really confusing

Hootkaashi: why? Were you thinking of calling us all by first name?

futakuchis: more importantly are you jealous that he said my name first

Hootkaashi: not really

Hootkaashi: I don't mind being sandwiched between you two

time2party: OUT OF THE LEFT FIELD AKAASHI

time2party: WHERE DID THAT COME FROM

Hootkaashi: oh dear I didn't mean to press enter

time2party: discovering a whole new side of you man

time2party: smh

futakuchis: OH GEEZ

futakuchis: COMING FROM YOU?

time2party: yes. I am reading articles on Political Correctness to keep my mind clean

futakuchis: what

Hootkaashi: Political Correctness

Hootkaashi: I’m not sure that’s the right term for it but ok

ennosuffering: anyway. disregarding all of you, I just had the passing thought

ennosuffering: reading the chat description, is all

futakuchis: booooring

futakuchis: on the topic of names though

futakuchis: why won’t you let me call you chika

ennosuffering: uhhhhhhhh

ennosuffering: because I don’t want you to?

time2party: yeah kenji lay off :(

time2party: ur gay is showing again

futakuchis: is that a bad thing ;)

time2party: not at all ;)

Hootkaashi: …

Hootkaashi: now I know why shigeru hates being alone with you two


 

ennosuffering: Hey Akaashi?

Hootkaashi: yes?

ennosuffering: you know how we always get invited to Tokyo training camps, right?

Hootkaashi: yes...?

ennosuffering: I was wondering if you were interested in coming to ours? Miyagi training camp, I mean. Hinata invited Nekoma through Kenma already, but I thought I'd ask you if Fukurodani was interested?

Hootkaashi: I'll ask coach brb.

ennosuffering: k

Hootkaashi: back

Hootkaashi: he said we can depending on dates. when is it?

ennosuffering: next weekend, we meet in Sendai. Is that okay?

Hootkaashi: coach says it's fine but next time give us more notice lol

ennosuffering: oh, of course, sorry! it literally only just occurred to me. don't expect us to be like ... tokyo camp standard omg.

Hootkaashi: we're not fussy. Is, ah, everyone going to be there?

ennosuffering: everyone...? You mean the fresh captains? Yeah. Yeah we'll all be there. Shirabu might not make the whole camp but he did say he might drop by one of the days

Hootkaashi: I see

ennosuffering: are you nervous?

Hootkaashi: not at all

Hootkaashi: what would I be nervous about?

ennosuffering: meeting everyone in person, I guess

ennosuffering: I mean. you've met a few of them but that was before this whole chat was made.

Hootkaashi: well I think I'll be okay. I'll just stick to you if I get uneasy, if that's alright?

ennosuffering: oh yeah! go ahead. I don't mind. everyone is super friendly though.

ennosuffering: but prepare for war anyway. bring headphones because Futakuchi is really noisy. also bring a spray bottle just in case anyone is being terrible. but mostly headphones. beware of Futakuchi irl

Hootkaashi: you warned me about futakuchi twice

ennosuffering: I mean watch out for Terushima too, but even though he looks intimidating, he’s mostly harmless

Hootkaashi: I can imagine

Hootkaashi: thanks again Ennoshita

Hootkaashi: it's nice to know I can count on you

ennosuffering: no problem! Look forward to seeing you there!
