Grand King: is anyone awake??
Kenma: hey
Grand King: ken-chan!! how are you?
Kenma: fine i guess
Kenma: also if this is a ‘pretty setter squad’ you should probably add keiji
Grand King: keiji??
Kenma: hes the setter at fukurodani and hes really pretty
Grand King: really?? how pretty?? if he’s so pretty how come i haven’t heard of him until now??
Kenma: i dont know
Kenma: ill add him
Kenma has added Akaashi K. to Pretty Setter Squad .
Grand King: fine! i’ll have to judge how pretty he is when he’s online!!
Kenma: ok
Grand King: ken-chaaaaaaaan!!! you should change your name to something cuter!!!
Kenma: i dont see why
Grand King: becaaaaaaaaaause!! then it’ll match how cute you are irl!!
Kenma: i dont really care tho??
Grand King: ken-chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!!!
Grand King: i’ll come all the way to tokyo if i have to!!
Kenma: ugh fine
Grand King: ….
Grand King: ………………………………
Grand King: ken-chan?
Kitten: i was thinking. is this better?
Grand King: !!! so cute!!!
Grand King: it fits you so well!!!
Kitten: it was the best i could come up with i guess
Grand King: well i like it a lot!!
Kitten: btw why did you make a group chat at 3am?
Grand King: couldn’t sleep and i thought it would be fun!!
Grand King: but everyone’s asleep!! except you.
Grand King: why are you awake so late??
Kitten: playing a new game and i guess i lost track of time?
Kitten: i have morning practice today too
Kitten: oops
Grand King: you should get to sleep ken-chan!!! your captain will be mad if you’re too tired to play because you stayed up late on your psp!!
Kitten: i can just say i had trouble getting to sleep
Grand King: and i could just as easily tell him the truth!
Kitten: please dont
Grand King: i won’t tell tetsu-chan, don’t worry
Grand King: just get some rest okay?
Kitten: i will
Kitten: goodnight tooru
Grand King: night night ken-chan!!
Suga: Oikawa!
Grand King: suga-chan!!
Suga: How much sleep did you get last night? If you keep losing sleep like this, you could end up hurting yourself.
Grand King: it’s okay suga-chan!! i managed to get just over an hour’s sleep so it’s not like i’ll be running on empty!!
Grand King: besides!! i’m always careful!!
Suga: Still, it’s concerning.
Creampuff: He’s right. You should try to get more sleep when you get the chance, Oikawa-san.
Grand King: aww yahaba-chan!! you’re so cute, taking care of your senpai like that!!
Grand King: i probably won’t get the chance to sleep until tonight though with practice and all
Grand King: and by then i usually can’t get to sleep
Grand King: i’ll try really hard though!!!
Suga: Can you not take time off of practice? Just for today?
Suga: I honestly can’t remember the last time you had a healthy amount of sleep and that’s worrying.
Grand King: i told you, i’ll be okay!! i can still practice well enough!!
Creampuff: Do I have to inform Iwaizumi-san and get him to make you take today off to rest?
Grand King: yahaba-chaaaaaan!!! i don’t need to take today off!! i promise i’ll get some sleep tonight!!
Grand King: besides, you wouldn’t have to tell iwa-chan. he always figures these things out on his own
Creampuff: That’s true. Iwaizumi-san seems to have a sixth sense when it comes to you. Specifically, when you’re not taking good enough care of yourself.
Grand King: i know!! it’d be cute if he wasn’t so annoyingly good at seeing through me when i’m trying to hide it!!
Suga: It just means he cares about you, Oikawa. Like we all do.
Suga: Please make sure you get a lot of sleep later.
Grand King: i promise, suga-chan.
Suga: Okay. If I find out that you’ve gotten barely any sleep again tomorrow, then I’ll personally come and render you unconscious. Deal?
Grand King: ooh scary! but yes mom.
Suga: Take care of him, Yahaba! I’ve got to get going!
Creampuff: You got it. See you later, Sugawara-san.
Creampuff: Iwaizumi-san noticed as soon as Oikawa-san started practicing.
Semisemi: What a surprise
Creampuff: Honestly it was kind of cute. Iwaizumi-san cupped Oikawa-san’s cheeks and it looked like they might kiss. But he instead ended up wiping away the concealer that was hiding Oikawa-san's dark circles.
Creampuff: He then called him a dumbass and smacked the back of Oikawa-san’s head, as usual. Though, it seemed a little gentler today.
Suga: Those two are kind of cute, in their own way.
Semisemi: Are you sure they’re not dating already? They act like an old married couple
Suga: If they were dating I’m pretty sure Oikawa wouldn’t be able to stop himself from saying something about it.
Semisemi: Fair point
Creampuff: Iwaizumi-san just told Oikawa-san to not come to practice after school.
Suga: Oikawa tried to argue, didn’t he?
Creampuff: Tried being the keyword in that sentence. He barely got two words out before Iwaizumi-san shut him down.
Creampuff: Oikawa-san has a look in his eyes that says he’s still going to go to it, though.
Semisemi: It’s Oikawa Tooru
Semisemi: What else do you expect?
Suga: I’m sure Iwaizumi knows what Oikawa’s going to do. He’ll be ready for whatever Oikawa tries.
Creampuff: Yeah. I just hope that Oikawa-san doesn’t destroy what little remains of his dignity.
Semisemi: Pff nice
Suga: How mean, Yahaba~!
Suga: You’ll tell us if something interesting happens, right?
Semisemi: Especially if it includes the loss of Oikawa’s dignity
Creampuff: Of course.
Creampuff: Oh.
Suga: Oh?
Creampuff: Oikawa-san tried to come to practice and Iwaizumi-san stopped him, telling him to go home and sleep.
Semisemi: Did he stand there stubbornly, pouting like a child?
Creampuff: He did. He also refused to miss practice, seeming as “I am the captain, Iwa-chan. It would set a bad example if I just skipped practice!”
Suga: And???
Creampuff: And Iwaizumi-san kind of just
Creampuff: Picked him up and slung him over his shoulder as if he weighed nothing.
Suga: Oh.
Semisemi: Oh my god
Creampuff: Yeah.
Creampuff: He apologised to the coaches and just started carrying Oikawa-san home. Matsukawa-san and Hanamaki-san are taking their stuff to them later.
Semisemi: Tell me something
Creampuff: Hm?
Semisemi: Was Oikawa throwing a tantrum as he was carried away?
Creampuff: Sort of?
Suga: Sort of??
Creampuff: I’m kind of on the other side of the gym. But from what I could see, his actions seemed more flustered than anything.
Suga: Adorable!
Semisemi: Kind of wondering where this leaves us on Oikawa’s dignity scale
literal salt: well he was carried out of the gym, flustered and throwing a fit in front of his entire team. but he was carried by his big bara not-boyfriend so that probably levels it out
Creampuff: That would probably be true if Hanamaki-san and Matsukawa-san were not doing a dramatic re-enactment of the entire scene right now. They even changed the way Iwaizumi-san was carrying Oikawa-san to a princess lift.
literal salt: I can see why people call them the “meme team” now
Creampuff: Please don’t mention that. Ever. You don’t even know how bad they are.
Creampuff: They do their best to speak almost entirely in memes, references and puns. It’s funny to an extent, but they have gone so far past that line that the line is no longer visible.
Creampuff: In fact, they are no longer in the same plane of existence as the line. The line is a legend, a myth in their minds. It’s as if the line isn’t real, as if it never existed at all.
Suga: Wow, Yahaba.
Semisemi: They sound like they’d really get along well with Tendou
Creampuff: Oh god no. Please no more memes or memers. I don’t think I could handle any more. Watari's already joined them on more than one occasion.
Semisemi: How about memes with the added bonus of anime references?
Creampuff: Why do you try to torture me so, Semi-san? I thought you were a somewhat decent human being.
literal salt: decent? yeah right
Semisemi: Shove it, Shirabu
Semisemi: And I am decent, most of the time
literal salt: when you’re not being passive aggressive or flirting with tendou-san
Semisemi: I DONOT FLIRT WITH TENDOU
Semisemi: WHAT TH E FUCK
Semisemi: OH MYG OD I FUKCING HATE YOU
Semisemi: GO DIE IN A DITCH
Semisemi has left Pretty Setter Squad .
Suga: Ooh~? What an interesting development!
Creampuff: I hate to admit it but I’m slightly impressed, Shirabu. Semi-san went from 0 to 100 almost instantly.
literal salt: he almost threw his phone across the gym
literal salt: he’s really red, too
literal salt: looks like I win this round :)
Kitten has added Semisemi to Pretty Setter Squad .
Suga: Kenma? When did you get here?
Kitten: i was kind of watching all of this unfold
Kitten: i didnt really have anything to add so i didnt say anything
Kitten: kuro would be proud of how easily shirabu got to semi though
literal salt: thanks, I have a talent for provoking him
literal salt: plus, he apparently doesn't think his flirting is obvious
literal salt: either that or he's in denial
Creampuff: How obvious are we talking here?
literal salt: obvious to the point where it's like they're in one of tendou-san's shoujo manga books and they're the protagonists who are somehow completely oblivious to their love interest's and their own feelings while still being lovey-dovey and flirty enough to make me want to actually talk to tendou-san about said manga if only it'll get them to stop for two minutes
literal salt: it's stressful
Kitten: i can sort of relate
Kitten: kuros pretty dense too
Suga: Oh~?
Kitten: speaking of kuro hes calling me back to practice
Suga: Aw. That's no fun.
Suga: Be careful and have fun during the rest of your practice!
Suga: Which we should all be getting back to, really. So, go on! No more going on your phones until your practices have ended!
Creampuff: In honour of Oikawa-san: yes, mom.
