Semi was just finishing the conclusion of his physics essay late at night, tapping away at the computer in his dorm. It wasn't due for a week, but it was better to have it done so he could focus solely on volleyball. Typing in the final key, his phone buzzed with a notification and Semi frowned.

Who the hell was texting him now?

He picked up his phone and opened his new messages, looking for the text. Then he froze, staring at his screen. Two things raced through his mind. One, this wasn't meant for him. Two, who the hell would Goshiki be sending that text to?

Tsutomu: if the dorm walls weren't so thin, id sneak you into school every night

Semi looked at it and then clicked away from Goshiki's' contact, opening up Tendou's' instead.

SemiSemi: Tendou

gUeSsMoNsTeR: yeEeeseEEeEEEsssSsSSSssssSssSSsSS????????????

SemiSemi: I think Goshiki just texted me accidentally

gUeSsMoNsTeR: wtf does this have 2 do with me

SemiSemi: As his unofficial overprotective parent I thought you'd want to know what he sent

gUeSsMoNsTeR: oH nO

gUeSsMoNsTeR: was it a nOoD!???!!!!!?!!!!!!?

SemiSemi: No tf

gUeSsMoNsTeR: gotta make sure

SemiSemi: But it did talk about sneaking someone into his dorm if the walls weren't so thin

gUeSsMoNsTeR: ...................

gUeSsMoNsTeR: i gotta murder someone now

gUeSsMoNsTeR: who do i have to murder, whos touching my bby

SemiSemi: I don't know he hasn't said anything other than that

As he said that, a notification appeared on his screen from Goshiki. Semi clicked on it with slight hesitation, reading the message that had been sent through.

Tsutomu: Semi that wasn't meant for you I'm so sorry!

Tsutomu: please don't tell anyone i didn't mean to send that!

Semi read the messages, thought about not telling anyone, decided it was too late and then texted Tendou again.

SemiSemi: He's realised he sent it to the wrong person

gUeSsMoNsTeR: who did he mean to send it to

SemiSemi: I'll ask

Tuning out of the conversation with Tendou, he saw Goshiki had spammed him with frantic messages and Semi prepared to read them all.

Tsutomu: I'm sorry

Tsutomu: i'll do extra laps during practice!

Tsutomu: please don't tell anyone

Tsutomu: I didn't mean to send that

SemiSemi: Who was it meant for???

Tsutomu: do i have to answer that?

SemiSemi: As your upperclassman, yes, yes you must

Tsutomu: it was meant for someone

SemiSemi: Don't be a smartass or I'm telling Ushijima.

Tsutomu: fine, fine!

Tsutomu: I've been seeing someone, and that was meant for them

Tsutomu: i just clicked on the wrong contact

Tsutomu: is that good enough?

SemiSemi: Who are you seeing

Tsutomu: They don't go to this school

Tsutomu: you wouldn't know them

SemiSemi: ....okay

SemiSemi: I won't snitch

SemiSemi: Now go to sleep, dammit

Tsutomu: yes, sir

Goshiki's' icon went offline and Semi glared at his screen thoughtfully. He wasn't gonna say anymore, for now. Tendou could wait until morning. Standing up, he stretched and turned off his computer after saving the document then jumped at the knock on his door. He opened it to see Ushijima, Tendou and Reon standing there darkly.

"Tendou told us," Reon said before Semi even had time to shut the door. "Who was it?"

Semi blinked and the reality of how much he really wanted to sleep was beginning to dawn on him. "Guys, I really need to sleep, I don't wanna pull an all-nighter talking to you guys, can't this wait-"

Ushijima opened the door fully and stepped inside, putting his heavy hands on Semi's' shoulders. "This is urgent, Semi. We must know everything about this pressing matter."

"Tendou, can't this wait until practice?" Semi sighed. "Surely we should talk about this to Goshiki?"

"We have to know, Semi-Semi," Tendou whispered creepily. "Who has been touching my child?"

Semi sighed again, louder this time and walked further into his room, crumpling onto his bed with a yawn. "I dunno. He said he was seeing someone and that they were going to another school but nothing else."

Reon looked thoughtful. "Are you sure-?"

"Yes, I'm sure, now get out of my dorm, I need to sleep."

Ushijima shrugged. "We shall just ask him about it during practice."

Semi waved them off lazily. "Be subtle about it and get out."

"I'm gonna tell all the third and second years," Decided Tendou. "This is very important."

.:*:.

Goshiki had not missed the stares he was getting from his upperclassmen during practice. Every single one of them seemed like they wanted to ask him something and he really didn't get it. Had he messed up during practice today? He didn't think so. Any missed spikes had only been because of receivers across the net catching the ball, he didn't lag behind during laps and had barely dropped the ball once. So what was it?

For hours, he nervously tiptoed around them, trying to see what line he had crossed but to no avail. By the time the team were returning to the changing rooms, he was convinced they were going to kick him off of the team.

Finishing the final few buttons on his shirt, he tried not to look up, knowing Ushijima was staring holes into his skull. He swallowed nervously, picking up his water bottle and taking a sip when Ushijima finally said something.

"Goshiki. Who is this person you are dating?"

Goshiki spluttered mid-swallow and gagged on the water, choking loudly in alarm. "What?" He asked, face bright red.

"Semi told Tendou, Reon and I that you were in a relationship with someone outside of Shiratorizawa Academy. Who is it?"

Goshiki spun around to look at Semi who began to whistle awkwardly, focusing on his tie.

Tendou snuck up behind Goshiki, plucking his phone out of his bag and unlocking it. He knew Goshiki's' password after seeing him type it in a few months ago, and he never forgot a password.

"Hmm, let's see," He said loudly, opening up the messaging app and scrolling through. Goshiki screeched in embarrassment, diving for his phone but Tendou held it high above him. "It's no one on our team, it's not your parents, it's not your grandma, it's- ooh!"

Goshiki flushed and Tendou flashed a contact at him. "Who's this? Kogane, hmm? I don't know any Kogane, do you, Shirabu?"

Shirabu buttoned up his jacket. "Leave me out of this, Tendou."

"I don't know of anyone called Kogane," Ushijima commented thoughtfully.

"Neither do I~!" Trilled Tendou. "Who's Kogane, Tsutomu?"

Goshiki's' face grew redder. "H-He's no one, really. An old friend from middle school, I haven't talked to him in ages-"

"I'm calling him!" Tendou announced, and hit 'dial'. The third and second years all leaned in closely and Goshiki made a fearful, embarrassed, screeching noise and jumped up for the phone again.

'Kogane' picked up. "Tsu-Tsu? What's up?"

There was a deathly silence in the changing room, all eyes on Tendou, Goshiki and the phone.

'Answer him,' mouthed Tendou, brandishing the phone at Goshiki like he was brandishing a knife.

Goshiki reluctantly took the phone, face red, and said, "Hey, Kogane..."

"I thought you'd have volleyball practise going on right now, did it end early or something?"

The wing spiker swallowed nervously. "N-Not really, I'm just in the changing room."

"Ooh!" Cooed Kogane, with an audible smirk. "What're you wearing?"

Shirabu covered his mouth to mute a loud bark of laughter, Ushijima raised an eyebrow, Semi snickered, Reon frowned and Tendou shook his head with a sigh.

"I am moderately dressed, I'll have you know," Huffed Goshiki, squirming nervously.

"Yes, yes, of course, Tsu-Tsu. So, why'd ya call? Do you wanna go out?"

"Um... I didn't actually call you."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone. "Huh?"

"I-I didn't call you. My upperclassman did."

"Oh, okay," Kogane replied. There was some silence. "But do you wanna go out?"

Goshiki looked like he wanted to scream into a pillow or hit his head repetitively against a wall. "Kogane. They can hear you."

"...Shit."

"Mhm."

"Am I gonna die?"

Tendou, having held back a rant, seemed unable to hold it back anymore. He grabbed the phone from Goshiki, yelling, "Listen hear, mystery person! You keep your hands off of my child or I will peel the skin off your eyelids and stuff your nipples up your nose! My Tsutomu is too innocent to be dirtied by your hands, tell him, Wakatoshi!"

Ushijima leaned towards the phone and said calmly, "You can't hide for long."

"We will find you," Shirabu whispered creepily, jumping onto the opportunity to embarrass Goshiki as much as possible.

Cheerfully, Reon pulled the phone away from Tendou. "Hi. I'm Reon Ohira and I'm warning you to keep away from Tsutomu or I will personally help Tendou break into your room and I'll hold you down as he deals with you."

Semi took the phone next. "Hey, hi, I'm Semi Eita and Goshiki is very important to our team so you've got a lot of explaining to do. What have you done to our future ace?"

"Semi, he hasn't done anything!" Goshiki tried, attempting to shoulder past his upperclassmen to get to his phone. "I promise, nothing's happened!"

"Have you kissed him?" Asked Tendou suddenly.

"Well, yeah, but nothing else! We've only joked, I promise-!"

Tendou rounded on the phone. "How dare you mouth-fuck Goshiki!"

"Tendou, you 'mouth-fuck' Ushijima all the time," Shirabu grunted loudly.

"And you have been trying to mouth-fuck Semi since your first year-"

"What?" Semi and Shirabu chorused at the same time, both looking equally flustered.

During the distraction, Goshiki scooped up the last of his belongings and snatched up his phone from Semi's' slackened grip, bolting out of the changing room. "Bye, great practise today! See ya!" He called over his shoulder, running away.

"Catch him!" Cried out Tendou, running behind him as quickly as he could.
