Asahi has been staring at his phone for half an hour now, looking at Koushi's plans to "solve" their problems. "Solving our love problems huh?." He said to himself. Koushi and himself are both struggling with their respective relationships, Koushi just found out Daichi has been seeing Michimiya a fellow junior at Karasuno after school instead of seeing him, his actual boyfriend, this sent Koushi's mind into a frenzy that prompted him to formulate this wicked plan. He does think it's crazy, but it's better do something about the problem than to ignore it and wait for it to blow on their faces, he finally conceded as he replied to Koushi as an agreement to his plans. Koushi replied almost immediately which freaked Asahi out, this just means Koushi means it, he is dead serious with this plan, and he tried to get some sleep for tomorrow, he knows it will be a long ass day for him.

------------------

"Asahi! Don't just stand there? Move your arms up more. You won't be able to do a better block-cover in that skimpy position!" Nishinoya shouted, gesturing how a good stance for a block-cover should look like.

"Ahhhh. sorry Nishinoya, i'll try better next time" Asahi apologized.

"Ehhh? You always apologize, but you never do anything about it, do you even love volleyball anymore Asahi? or is this enough for you?" Nishinoya asked, he felt that he is staring him down, which was almost impossible as he is obviously taller than him.

"Wha-What? Of course I love volleyball, that's why I came back?? Right?"

"No. I don't think so. maybe you should just quit again? I'll find someone better than you anyways." Nishinoya said as he walked away from him.

"Nishi- Wait! I promise to do better! Wait! Don't leave, Please!" Asahi tried to ran after the fiery libero, but it felt like the floor underneath him was pulling him back, further and further away from Nishinoya, he was pulled so far he lost sight of him.

Asahi suddenly opened hi eyes.

"Dream? It was a dream, no, more like a nightmare." He sighed, tears and beads of sweat dribble down his face.

Asahi has been having this nightmare lately, the one where Nishinoya left him. He's had other nightmares before, especially when he decided to quit the team after being shut down in their previous match against DateKo. It was almost the same tho, it always involved Nishinoya, he's scared he will leave him, for good this time. They were able to patch things up and resume their halted romance after he returned to the team, but now, a new problem seems to be bubbling underneath their feet, well technically it's not a new problem, it's more of a recurring one, one problem they thought was solved and then comes back, like a cold or a flu, Asahi can't seem to shake it off their relationship.

Nishinoya's personality can be compared to that of a wild horse, running free, never caring about anything, well except volleyball and block-covers. While he is the flip side of Nishinoya, everything is a struggle for him, yeah, he's a big guy he's supposed to have the bigger personality than the other but, it just doesn't work like that, it's just not in him. It's been a struggle to keep up with him, with his chaotic ways, his surprise spontaneity on almost all things, it was indeed a struggle, but at the end of the day, he loves him, he loves him so very much. Ever since that confrontation they had after getting defeated by DateKo, emotions ran high and confessions were made.

Nishinoya admitted he wanted Asahi to spike freely, he wanted Asahi to shine with him, he wanted to make Asahi happy, Asahi teared up hearing this, and admitted he also wants to show him how awesome he is, how he can be brave together with him, how he wants to make him happy as his ace. What seems to be a confrontaion turned into a confession which ended up with a brief kiss, their lips only touched one another for a second but the feelings stayed longer. Although Nishinoya decided not to pursue the relationship, explaining he doesn't want to be with Asahi if he can't keep up with him, if he can't support the ace to his full extent, but vowed to be stronger so he can be beside him, no matter what or whom was the enemy, Asahi was stunned by it, he never wanted to put Nishinoya in that situation especially now that he has doubts in his abilities, so he decided to quit for a while and thought everything through. It stained their budding relationship, although it was fixed when two new players showed up and taught him again the beauty of playing volleyball, reminded him why he wanted to play so bad, it also made him realize that a part of him wanted Nishinoya.

It was awkward, for him at least, but with Nishinoya, it only took him two minutes and the victory in a practice match against Daichi and the others for him to bury everything and to start over with him, like nothing really mattered. He was happy of course having Nishinoya around him again, being able to look at him, play with him and be in a relationship with him, but he's scared, Nishinoya's too wild for him.

That's the idea swirling around his head all this time, yeah, they are having fun together, he is miraculously been able to keep up with Nishinoya, in short, he is the clingy one, and he didn't liked it, in bed, he is the dominant one, he makes Nishinoya moan and gasp for breathe when they do it, he wanted to translate that outside of the bedroom too, he wanted to tame the wild horse. He wanted to feel like he at least for one second is in control of the relationship, just for a solid second, and not the other way around, and Koushi could just be the answer to that.

"Is it bad? Is it really bad that I wanted to feel that way?" Asahi asked both of his hands covering his face in shame.

"It's normal to feel that way Asahi, Daichi loved it." Koushi noticed the way he said it, it felt like he unconsciously used the past tense of the word love.

"I mean, i'm a man! I wanna fell on top!"

"Asahi, you are the top. Stop messing around" Koushi said as he playfully poked Asahi in the cheeks.

"Koushi! You know how i meant it!" Asahi said his face blood red with blushing.

"I know, i know, this plan would work, trust me on this, and you know what? after this you will feel on "TOP" you'll have that insecurities in you gone. And me and Daichi will-" Koushi stopped, thinking the right words to finish his sentence.

"Will, what?"

"I don't know honestly, I don't know what will happen, that's why we have to do this so we can figure it ourselves." Koushi said while blankly staring at the wall of their clubroom. "Are you ready Asahi? They'll be here any minute now." He continued looking now at Asahi.

"Are you really sure this is a good idea? you know it could potentially be bad not only for us but for the whole team." Asahi feared the idea of the team falling apart, they just started getting stronger again and would hate to see it end up in shambles again.

"Of course i am. It's a risk I guess we'll have to take."

"Then, if you're sure, let's do it."

"Shoyou? Have you seen Suga-san and Asahi?" Nishinoya asked the orange haired middle blocker as he practiced with Kageyama.

"Uhhh.. hmmm. let me think, the last time I saw them, hmmmm." Hinata scratched his head trying to remember, but nothing, all he could think about was how can he do a normal quick attack, with Kageyama.

"Hinata, you air head!" Kegeyama irritably said as he throw the volleyball to him. "I saw them go up the club room just minutes ago. Maybe they're still there" He continued.

"Why are you looking for them anyways?" Hinata asked.

"We're supposed to be practicing a new combination play. But never showed up." Daichi said as he approached the three, he was visibly irritated already and had dark and red rings under his eyes. It freaked Kageyama and Hinata, they've never seen their calm leader like that, he's acting very differently.

"I- I don't know! IM SORRY CAPTAIN!" Hinata said and bowed to his captain much to Kageyama's and Daichi's surprise.

"Hinata you idiot! What are you apologizing for?" Kageyama quickly reprimanded the orange head.

"It's ok Hinata, It's just, it's been a tough few days for me, Daichi acknowledge that the two first years noticed him acting differently too, plus the evidence that he may be crying too much and probably not been sleeping at all this past days ever since he and Michimiya got caught by Koushi having a secret rendezvous.

"Are you sure they are in the clubroom?" Nishinoya repeated.

"Affirmative" Kageyama replied as he turned around prepping for another round of pain in the ass practice of normal quicks with his air head boyfriend, as much as he hates it, he enjoys looking at his dumb-but-cute face for a whole day.

--------

"You really look like crap Daichi. I mean it." Nishinoya finally acknowledges Daichis poor appearance.

"Yeah, it's been tough, i mean, it is kinda my fault, but look, let me he explain it to you-" Daichi started but was shushed by Nishinoya.

"I don't really care about that Daichi, don't explain to me, explain it to Koushi!" Nichinoya giggled as he's in shock, Daichi of all people looks flustered and defensive, that's a first.

Both of them stood in front of the clubroom, both felt a weird sensation, they looked at each other for a brief second before gulping and opened the door. There they stood in shock of what they saw inside. Asahi and Koushi, half naked kissing. Asahi's hands all over Koushi's body and Koushi all red and sweaty.
