Chapter 10: Twist and Turns

~THIRD PERSON/READER POV~

As seen, Inso Mikoa and Kousha Mattsun had there fun. We met two males and a female. Inso knew something was up with all three of four, Kousha included. Elimination was easy, yeah he can handle that, but finding out the truth? Now that's to much of a challenge really. Inso isn't the type to go overboard with the truth and he doesn't know how to use confrontation. Kousha on the other hand, hides everything. After all he's an average and more of a top model student. Reputation is key to him. He got into this mess himself, he will get out of it soon. It is all normal now really. Kousha has his sexual time while Inso is more like a protector. Closet Perv and Soldier no? Well not much to say.

Days passed by quickly, break was coming in and the two males were studying for exams. Exam season was hard for both of them, especially when you're a bit distracted if you know. Keeping separated really made them realize how much they needed each other. The fun they had, the tensions of any sort, the smiles, laughter, everything. I guess Kousha finally realized it. Took him a while, more than three years I suppose. The math sometimes gets confusing in the end, but they will have something knew, I just know it. Inso was walking down the classrooms, rushing back and forward from classes. Late again. Kousha just waited for him but knew it will be written down by something. Sometimes Kousha can't understand him. Either he's late and mad, he's happy and late, hes so confusing I just don't understand anything of him. Well, At least he was up studying and such. He wasn't the time to do anything, he just sits there and does everything last minutes, classic for him but strange. He is a cold strange boy, and that's what Kousha likes about him. Seeing Kousha brighten up more it's really nice. Some people say he controls the weather with his emotions, which is funny. When he is happy everything is a normal day really, with the sun out. When he's upset the sun doesn't brighten as much and it gets cloudy. Grumpy you may guess as gushes of rain going down. It's just a mystery on what's happening. No much can be explain but I guess it's normal now. Inso on the other hand is just wind and brushes going strong or soft. Elemental people probably. Anyways, that's off topic. Both males have passed by from time to time, but never have time to say much to each other, basically separating little by little.

~INSO MIKOA'S POV~

Exams suck. At least I'll make it.. hopefully. I mean I do have good grades but don't kinda. I'm not really sure. Everything is just so hard to wrap around my head. I guess being stuck to someone for so long, it's hard to make decisions. Nothings normal at this point so..~ maybe I can finally do what I want in my bucket list. Which is something I don't have. Gosh, I guess I am an idiot. Stop saying I guess Inso- dumbass. I wonder if I can use the gym today, since we don't have practice, I should get my own practice, unlike others. Yes, I am scowling. I mean, it isn't that bad.. even though we almost lost at a simple practice match with a team we can beat in second. I am their libero so it can't be helped. Hard time.. those were the days. Well, not much passed so.. yeah.

Walking towards the gym, I saw the same people from the day of the party. I don't understand why they are here. I should really practice on the libero set. I need to make that happened to matter what. Determination is key! *wink* Okay- that was dumb. I feel like a dead rat when I did that. I just ran straight into the gym without making eye contact with them. Everything is surprising now, They are actually practicing. I guess captain was in a mood. I just brush it off and placed the water bottles down just like my upperclassmen did the year before. I wondered what happened with them, they really made it fun. Well, not much is happening though. Anyways, focus Inso. Just remember to get the right speed, the jump and keep an eye on your surroundings. Take your breathers.. and calm down.

??: "You're really going to try and manage that libero set? You can't even dig a feint."

I jolted and ran to do the set. My jumping was amazing if I do say so myself, but it went to high and it went more over to the other side of the court. Looking over who was the one that messed up my awesome moment I was trying to do. But of course, Kousha had to do it. Hold up- Kou-kun?? WHAT!?! Out of the people HIM- I mean haha of course I wouldn't mind it. It's just, well if you can- What am I even saying, of course I'm bluffing, no way no how. I shaked my head.

I: "Well don't distract me! I'm trying it out for a bit.. you are just a bit distracting on it.."

K: "Want me to teach you? I can since I use to be a sett-"

I: "NO- I mean.. can you uhh- well.. spike for me?" Please don't sound it wrong. Please don't let it sound wrong.

K: "Yeah sure. Which side and were?"

Hesitantly, I spoke. I knew him. He wouldn't do it here. Imposible, afterall, they are people outside the door.

I: "Left. I'll set towards you and spike it."

K: "Sure then, kiddo."

A relief sigh escape from me, but I did it to soon. Right after my sigh, I got caught of guard and Kousha decided a good idea to hit my ass. Yep- pervert.

K: "Which bottle by the way."

I spoke in a soft voice.

I: "Choose..whichever.."

K: "Pardon?"

I:"I said whichever.."

Kousha waited quietly. He was probably acting as if he didn't hear me.

K: "Inso.~ Come on don't be like this.."

I: "C-CHOOSE WHICHEVER!!"

I covered my face. I was still embarrassed on what he did. In the gym, publicly, they are people outside the gym. He can be so difficult. I feel like I'm on an ice rink losing my balance every time I do a stunt. Why do I like him again? Right, because he is a kind and stuff. I don't have time to explain. My dumbass decided to skate away to my position. I can still hear Kousha's laughter. Why am I like this? How the fuck am I living still. I shook it off and calmed down. Waiting for Kousha to stop laughing is funny. I laughed with him, it took awhile for us to stop. Basically. half and hour of mishap.

I: "Okay..Okay! Let's go"

He gave a thumbs up. As the ball went up, I decided to use my arms to push myself further from the floor. Quickly moving my hands up to set. I see Kousha run up to hit the spike. Choosing which one should do. I didn't know what to choose from so I went with a regular set. He barely spiked it. As all three of us landed, I got confused for a second.

K: "Do you really know how to set?"

I fidgeted with my fingers.

I: "Maybe.."

Kousha sighed heavily, grabbing a ball.

K: "Okay, look. Setting can be difficult, especially when you are a libero since you're always on the floor. You have options but just for a few moments, gotta think quick. And.."

This is amazing and embarrassing at the same time. I just didn't know what to say, I was so distracted. His skin is really pretty up close.. I may be a bit taller than him, but it is really beautiful. His hair is silky, even his eyes bright nicely. I wondered what else can happened. Kousha demonstrated on how it is. His arms were long, but he sets like if he was someone from a show. I'm really surprised he did so.

K: "Just choose the right time to strike okay?"

I: "Huh? Ah! Yeah yeah got it!"

K: "Did you even pay attention"

His face a bit disapproved.

I: "Pfft- Yeah." Don't ask anything. Don't ask anything.

K: "Okay. Then set like I told you too. Also, don't keep yourself on the floor a lot, you'll forget how to be human."

He snickered quietly, getting in position.

I: "Yes, Captain- HEY"

I through a ball at him and then went for the set. Since I didn't know what he said, I was somewhat confused. I just don't know. I ran up to the ball, setting it like the captain when I was a first year. Up position, fingertips on the edge at the bottom of the ball, the ball heading to the left and hitting the palm of Kousha. My eyes widen as I landed. I didn't believe it.

K: "Was that- You didn't do what I told you- How?"

I was speechless. What did I just do? Was that really me? Doubt it. I mean Senpai did set like that. Kousha walked up to be and grabbed me by the side of my arms. He didn't look at me.

I: "Kou-kun?"

K: "That was AMAZING HOW DID YOU DO IT? HOW CAN YOU PULLED OFF FORMER VICE CAPTAIN TORA SHIGARA SENPAI"

I was even more confused. Dude- WHAT DO YOU MEAN- EXPLAIN TO ME PLEASE. But of course, I'm an airhead. So I did what he told me.

I: "I- Umm.. Well I just put finger tips under the ball. Then made small illusions for myself to find the right spot of the ball and yeahh- Shigara-Senpai's advice"

I was nervous. I hate this. Kousha was processing everything, almost doing the math. I didn't get it one bit.

K: "So that's how it was.. Well- How did you remember there sets-"

I: "Shiga-Senpai lived closed by."

K: "Oh."

It was getting awkward. I don't understand him sometimes.

K: "Well, At least he seems like you can do your lovely libero set."

I: "Yeah.."

Stop being so nervous, It just a conversation. Don't act like idiot now. I have way to much things to worry about.

K: "Weirdo"

I: "HA- YOU'RE ONE TO TALK" I have him wrapped my little finger now.

K: "Funny for you to say that as if I'm the clumsy one between us"

I: "... Screw you, Literally"

K: "But you-"

I: "DON'T YOU DARE FINISH THAT SENTENCE"

K: "Alright Prince~"

Sheesh, Why is he like this. It's weird. Plus I don't have much to go by him. Now that I think about it- He is kinda small. Of course me being the handsomest one with my maroon colored hair. But his brown is so soft. I placed my hand on his head. I'm kinda scared. I have to reaction from him. What do I do? I let go and then he just well- exploded! Like literally exploded. His face was all red and embarrassed. Maybe he likes it? Haha- Bottom.

I: "Kou-kun?"

No answer came from. He walked to the gym storage. I waited there on the court figuring out what's going on. Then that's when I heard it, a scream inside there. I rushed in, like the knight I am, and opened the door. I saw him rolling around freaking out. I guess maybe I went to much on him or something.. But it wasn't that bad. I just patted his head and... nevermind. I looked at him for a couple minutes. It was really cute. I've never seen him like this. The regular feisty fox can turn to a squirming mouse I guess. I turned my back to him, wondering if anyone hurt, and that's when I felt it. A figure on my back. I ran on my hands and legs around the gym. I was freaking out until I noticed Kou-kun on my back. I guess things happen by surprise. Nothing really, just the ordinary. People walked by having nothing wrong from our actions. My bright mind decided to go bull style, kicking in the air while Kousha was on my back. Let's just say that didn't land as expected.. especially when it came to the wall hehe.. I have good ideas and everything. Who wouldn't love me? I'm joking, but I'm just me.

"Love can be found in any way, shape, or form."
