chat name: Cleanup Crew

Komoron
—alert alert alert!! this is not a drill!!

Zune
—What’s wrong Toya? It’s your first day of training right?
—Welcome to the big leagues my fav lil libero~ 🤗

Komoron
—nooo nonono zuna senpai its bad its bad
—well yes this was my first day. that’s not the issue.

Sakussa
—Spit it out. I have homework.

Komoron
—uhhh so yall remember inarizaki right
—dark horsed their way to the interhigh two yrs ago
—then we beat them again in the semis at the spring tournament

Zune
—Oh yeah! They had some really good twins, right?

Sakussa
—We know who Inarizaki is. Get to the point.

Komoron
—harsh! anyway this aint abt the twins. somehow.
—it’s about their really, really hot middle blocker who could bend sideways mid-spike and had the best feints in the tournament and made it his personal mission to see me on the ground
—um. diving for spikes
—obviously

Zune
—…I’ll take your word for it! But sure!

Sakussa
—I think I know where you’re going with this and I hate it already.
—Continue.

Komoron
—… he’s on my fucking team!! on ejp raijin!
—what do i do?? i’ve never had a rival before. i’ve definitely never had a HOT rival before.
—did i mention he’s hot. like, unbelievably attractive. he’s tall and his legs are 5miles long and he has gorgeous eyes and soft shiny hair and he looks like he’s laughing at me all the time.

Sakussa
—I despise knowing you.

Zune
—Aww, I think it’s cute! Ive never really seen you crush this hard on anyone, usually you’re so chill 🤭 so what’s the problem? Isn’t it good that he’s on your team?

Komoron
—maybe? maybe not. we’ll see i guess. this seems like some kind of shoujo manga plot though. omg, THE suna rintarou’s on MY team! what are the odds?!

Sakussa
—I’d like it put on record that my advice is and has always been: just fucking talk to him.

Komoron
—i mean, i’ll try. i probably won’t be able to stay away.
—thanks for listening, you guys 💛💚

Zune
—No problem!! Hey, I can’t wait to meet him properly this fall 😉 get ready for DESEO STING!!

Sakussa
—Never say that again.

Komoron
—INCREDIBLY BAD NEWS!!

Zune
—Omg what’s wrong?? 😱

Komoron
—… sry that was a little more alarmist than it was supposed to be
—had a practice game with the jackals today, and i have made a shocking and terrible discovery

Sakussa
—Listening.
—Still not caring but listening.

Komoron
—all the newer players got to start bc, yanno, practice. so washio and suna are the two mbs
—so when im swapping out w washy in the back

Sakussa
—Oh no.

Komoron
—HIS ASS IS IN MY FACE ALERT THIS IS NOT A FUCKING DRILL

Zune
—😂😂😂 Holy shit Toya calm down!
—It’s just an ass, we all have them

Komoron
—U DONT UNDERSTAND ITS SUCH A GOOD ASS. and his legs oh my god.
—and practically on the ground is apparently top tier vantage point to watch him do his stupid bendy thing and score??
—i dont think yall understand what this man is capable of. it’s not just leaning over during a spike. he’s got like. mad core/hip separation like he can move his whole torso independently of his lower half.

Zune
—Like a belly dancer!

Komoron
—DO NOT. ZUNA
—PUT THAT THOUGHT RIGHT BACK IN YOUR MOUTH

Zune
—🤭🤭🤭

Sakussa
—Am I the only one who thinks you should be concentrating during a game. Stop being gay.

Komoron
—WOULD THAT IT WERE THAT EASY.
—i’m in so fucking deep with this guy i’m screwed so bad if being gay gets me kicked off this team i’m done forever

Sakussa
—Don’t worry, we would never let you live it down either.

Komoron
—something has to be done. i can’t go on like this!

Zune
—All right! What kind of something?

Komoron
—this isn’t the something i had in mind y’all and i don’t appreciate being called out like this.
—zuna you’re off the hook, i know it was kiyochan

Sakussa
—Never call me that again. Or ever.

Komoron
—how did you even get miya atsumu’s number? and why am i on some kind of weird third wheel date with them??? seriously, what kind of help is this?!

Sakussa
—1: Youth camp? You should have his number too. 2: They’re not dating. 3: You’re welcome.

Zune
—💛💚💛💚 I have a practice game with the falcons today so I can’t respond, but pleaaase keep me updated!! Love you both!!

Sakussa
—I’m muting this chat.

Komoron
—what no omg you guys. i have mommy issues don’t do this to me
—just kidding i love my mom
—fuck they’re here

Komoron
—hey kiyo quick question
—wtf did you tell miya??
—im pretty sure he left us at the mall food court
—this is so awkward
—at least the view is nice
—suna’s got a little hairclip holding his bangs back?? kill me
—oh it’s from his sister. he has a sister.
—i’d feel bad texting every five seconds but he is too so.

Komoron
—whoops sorry okay we talked
—he’s hot AND funny and he likes trash talking strangers and i want him so bad

Zune
—Break time! Listen man I know I said keep me updated but like… how are you typing this much 😂😂 make sure you actually talk to your date!

Komoron
—ITS NOT A DATE IF NO ONE KNOWS ITS A DATE
—i’m gonna be cool and buy him ice cream
—or whatever the hell he wants. i don’t mind.

Zune
—That’s the spirit!!
—Whoop gotta go. DESEO STING!!

Komoron
—HE LIKES THOSE LITTLE JELLY STICKS IM GONNA BUY A HUNDRED OF THEM

Komoron
—okay okay okay
—i still don’t know if that was a date, but.
—i had a great time. i think he did too. we laughed a lot?
—nothing happened, i wanna make that clear, we just sort of hung out.
—and who tf knows where miya went. you’d think he’d want to spend time with his friend while we’re in osaka but whateeevvverrr
—hey @Sakussa your uni’s in kobe right? did you want to hang out while we’re here?
—we’re doing another practice match tmrw, the green rockets are here from fukuoka. we could hang out tonight?

Sakussa
—Can’t tonight. But I’ll try and come to the practice match, if you don’t mind an audience.

Komoron
—yeah!! i’d love that.
—you can’t stare at suna’s ass, though. that’s for my eyes only.
—even tho it’s perfect.

Sakussa
—Trust me, there is nothing I would like less.

Zune
—How’d it go yesterday? The Red Falcons got us good, that’s why I wasn’t online 😩 I had some little baby hornitos to comfort

Sakussa
—That’s… really not… how you…

Komoron
—oh, let him have it
—we beat the green rockets but it was a long fucking game
—every set was over 30 and we played to five

Zune
—Jeeeez. Well, that’s the product of a tenacious defense, isn’t it? 🤗 Or were you just distracted thinking about someone’s plush rear end~

Komoron
—oh my god it’s not PLUSH, it’s fucking sculpted??
—never mind, NO, i was not even remotely staring at asses i was too busy doing my job
—that wakatsu guy is rly damn good, if their setter was a lil bit better they’d’ve curbstomped us
—suna had a cute lil wrinkle in his eyebrow you could tell he was sooo annoyed

Sakussa
—Seriously? He just looked bored.

Komoron
—you don’t know him like i do!!
—also he almost punched a wall after
—dw i stopped him. no hand injuries on my watch!!

Sakussa
—What he failed to mention is that he stopped that punch with his face.
—Which is why he’s texting us from the infirmary instead of out drinking with his teammates. Like I, apparently, am.

Zune
—Awwhh Kiyo r u drunk? 🤭 I’ve never seen you drunk, you were always such a good boy in school~

Sakussa
—Can you. Sound a little less like a 50yo mom. Thanks

Zune
—Nope! Once a mom always a mom 💛💚🖤

Komoron
—finally outta here! i’m comin to get my drink, kiyochan!!

Sakussa
—Yay.

private chat

Komori Motoya
—hey… zuna?

Iizuna Tsukasa
—What’s up? ✌️

Komori Motoya
—do you think… kiyo might be mad at me?

Iizuna Tsukasa
—Why would you think that?

Komori Motoya
—just a feeling, i guess.
—i know parties aren’t his thing, so he was probably there waiting for me, and i got punched in the face instead and had to get checked out and left him with strangers
—and when i got back he just seemed… really mad. i don’t know how else to explain it, probably no one else thought anything was different.

Iizuna Tsukasa
—Well, I definitely trust your ability to read your cousin, but… we both know you can be wrong sometimes about the reasons behind his feelings.
—Let it rest, if it’s important he’ll bring it up, if not, he’ll get over it. And if he keeps waffling, you can ask him later. Ok?

Komori Motoya
—ok. thanks mom 👍

Iizuna Tsukasa
—😚 Anything for my weird little children~
—Aside from Kiyo being Kiyo, how was the party? Did Suna apologize for punching you??

Komori Motoya
—omg its not his fault, he doesn’t need to apologize!! 😂 i’m the one who threw myself in there. it’s fine!

Iizuna Tsukasa
—Okay… if you say so…
—But if he breaks more than your face I’ll… break him!

private chat

Suna Rintarou
—Look sorry for punching you last night
—Even if it's your fault for getting in the way

Komori Motoya has changed their name to ‘Karate Motoya’

Karate Motoya

SuperRin
—…

MegaToya
—it’s fine. just had a split lip, which has already scabbed over. you don’t punch THAT hard.

SuperRin
—Wow
—Rude and uncalled for

MegaToya
—you punched me! it’s very the fuck called for for me to comment on it!

SuperRin
—Again, that fist was not meant for your face
—I would in fact prefer your face unpunched
—Unharmed in general
—It’s like objectively not a bad face is what I’m saying
—Fuck just kill me

MegaToya
—hey, rin…

chat name: Cleanup Crew

Komoron
—nope i can’t do this i can’t fucking do this what if he says no? what if it’s awkward? he’s two doors down what if we both have to shit at the same time?

Sakussa
—This is the worst timeline.

Komoron
—my point exactly!!!

Sakussa
—No. Me having to listen to this makes it the worst timeline. Iizuna, please back me up here.
—Just. Tell. Him.

Zune
—Motoya, you’re really overthinking this. I promise!! Just ask him on a date and if he says no you get to be friends instead! Remember when Sakusa confessed to me a month after we met?

Sakussa
—Why did you have to bring that up.
—Zuna. I trusted you.

Komoron
—that doesn’t really
—oh fuck he’s knocking on my door brb

private chat

Iizuna Tsukasa
—Sorry about that btw!! I just thought it would help, since we stayed friends… not that I think he doesn’t have a chance! From everything you’ve told me, Suna’s just as into him in return 🤭

Sakusa Kiyoomi
—It’s fine. I was fifteen. Nobody knows what they want when they’re fifteen.
—I haven’t even thought about it in… probably years.

Iizuna Tsukasa
—…It was the lint roller, wasn’t it 😂

Sakusa Kiyoomi
—It was, actually. And then I found out you were super lame. Killed it for me.

Iizuna Tsukasa
—Ah, I see. Only the coolest of cool people crushes for Sakusa-san these days!

Sakusa Kiyoomi
—I’m going to boil your head like an egg and eat it for breakfast.

Iizuna Tsukasa
—So scary!!!!

chat name: Cleanup Crew

Komoron
—i’m gonna just turn in my balls at the counter for processing 😩
—i fucked up.
—i chickened out.
—i’m lame and i should feel bad about it.

Zune
—No! You’re not lame!! Don’t feel bad!!!

Komoron
—got you, knew i could summon mom if i was sad enough!
—ok here’s what happened.
—i left him hanging with a ‘hey rin?’ so yeah he came down the hall to give me grief about it.
—his hair was a little messed up his eyes a little sleepy he was all beautiful and backlit from the shitty hall lights and i wanted to marry him more in that moment than i’ve ever wanted anything.
—(as you do.)
—so obviously like a complete fucking idiot i said i was hungry do you want to hit the izakaya down the street

Zune
—Oh, dear.

Komoron
—TO BE CLEAR i was trying to ask him on a date my stupid little head was trying so hard and it came out COMPLETELY IDIOTIC
—that izakaya is shit btw it’s where we go after practice all the time but it’s the only thing open at fucking midnight
—SHOULD I HAVE ASKED HIM ON A DATE CIRCA TOMORROW MAYBE? obviously!! fucking obviously!!
—anyway we went and got food and joked around and it was great and i’m pathetic

Zune
—Well, it’s good that you had a good time anyway. There’s always another day 💚 to be gay 💛

Komoron
—pray for me volleyball mommy 🙏

Zune
—I don’t need to! I know you’ll do just fine 🤗
