Chapter Five [Karasuno Route Introduction]
"Hey, where's [Name]?" Sugawara asked, looking a bit concerned. Hinata perked up.
"She wasn't feeling well, so she stayed home," he said. When Hinata had gone to your house to bike to school with you, your mom had told him you were staying home sick.
"Aww, that sucks…" Yamaguchi mumbled. "Maybe we should visit her after practice?"
Tsukishima rolled his eyes. "Why; so we can get sick too?" Kageyama glared at this back of his head, Tsukki turning to return the expression.
"That's actually a good idea, Yamaguchi," Daichi jumped in, holding a few volleyballs in his arms. He gave a side-glance to Tsukki, who, again, rolled his eyes in response.
"I agree," Sugawara said. "Besides, I haven't met her mom yet. I've heard she's rather nice."
"If by ‘nice’, you mean completely nuts; then sure, she's nice," Tsukishima mockingly smiled.
"What'cha guys talking about over here?" Nishinoya sneaked up behind Asahi (causing him to yelp in surprise), who had been standing beside Sugawara silently. Tanaka slid up beside his small (smol) team member.
"Just thinking about visiting [Name]."
"Oh, yeah, I did notice she wasn't here. She feeling alright?" Noya asked, lifting up an arm to lean against Tanaka.
"Yeah, just sick is all."
"That's all of it; you guys can go home," the group turned to their coach.
"Well, I guess we should stop by [Name]'s house." Everyone nodded in agreement, leaving to get changed.

"—THEN I FELL OFF JUST AS I WAS ABOUT CROSS THE FINISH LINE," Hinata shouted, throwing his arms about in exaggeration. Tanaka and Nishinoya snickered, not surprised he of all people would lose to you in Mario Kart. You were a pro when it came to racing games.
The group stopped in front of your house, noticing right away that your bedroom light was on. "She's probably watching anime..." Tsukishima deadpanned. Yamaguchi nudged him sharply.
They all stepped up to the door, your mom throwing it open before Daichi could even knock. "Come in, come in!" She ushered them in, watching as they awkwardly crammed through the door to get in. "Ohhh, so you must be the people she's told me about. It's so nice to meet you all; I'm [Mom's name]."
"It's nice to meet you too, Miss [Mom's name]. Uh, I'm guessing [Name] is here?" Sugawara asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Oh yes, oh yes, let me go get her."
A few minutes later, you came down with your mom. She dispersed to finish doing something. To the boys, you looked like you slept through a hurricane. Your hair was sticking up everywhere unnaturally, and your nose looked incredibly dry. You wore regular clothes that did not go with the way you looked.
"What are you guys doing here?" Your voice sounded nasally with snot, brushing a hand through your hair in an attempt to make it more presentable. "Shouldn't you guys be at home by now?"
"We wanted to see how you were feeling. Obviously not well," Sugawara chuckled.
"Yeah, this is probably the worst cold I've had in awhile," you pinched your nose. "I appreciate the visit, but I really don't want to get any of you sick."
"We don't mind; well, Tsukishima does," he gestured to the blonde douchebag, seeing his sneer of disgust. You giggled at his expression before falling into a coughing fit. Hinata slapped your back, watching as you finally stopped having a fit and hugged you.
Nishinoya eventually joined in, then Tanaka. You giggled again, a lot softer, this time, to not irritate your throat and lungs. Sugawara, Daichi, and Ennoshita joined soon enough.
Asahi, Kageyama, Shimizu, Yamaguchi, and Tsukishima stood there awkwardly before Daichi pulled them in. You chuckled breathily, shaking your head as they awkwardly hugged back.
It was in that moment you realized something: you had a crush on all of them.
...
"Awww, don't you all look adorable? Hold on, let me go get a camera!"
"Mom!"
