Hi! New update for you guys for this story who are still reading this. Got held back for my final examination for this semester, so a bit late for the update. Thanks for still waiting and still supporting this fanfic. I read all of your comments and laughed alone but I am sorry I can't reply to every comment out there. Anyway, without further ado, have fun!

Right now you have a situation that you don't know how to handle. Two guys facing each other, glaring until you feel like you can see the sparks between them. Both have declared that they have feelings for you. Both, Tsukishima Kei and Kageyama Tobio. One of them is your childhood friend, and another one is your best friend. You look at Yachi beside you and she looks nervous. Well, you are nervous too because actually, you like both of them. But which one of them has more of your heart, you can't say. Kei or Tobio?

You and Tsukishima Kei are childhood friends. Since your parents always have to work late and sometimes they have to go overseas, Tsukishima's parents will take care of you. They always welcome you since they have no daughter, so you can say you're spoiled when you are with them. Sometimes, you feel that they are your real parent instead of your parent. And because of this, you are close with their son, Kei.

You are closer to Kei instead of Akiteru because both of you are the same age. But that does not mean that you're not close with Akiteru. He is like a brother to you since you are the only child in your family. Actually, it will be impossible not to develop some feelings towards these two boys who can be considered good-looking men, especially the glasses boy. You are kind of starting to get attracted to Kei during middle school when he helped you from being harassed. You're terrified that day because you didn't know that a middle schooler can be like that.

~Flashback~

"(y/n), you said that you love me! Then why do you reject my love?!" a boy who is a classmate of yours said after suddenly grabbing your hand and pulling you to a deserted place.

"Huh?! Since when did I say that I love you?!" you are mad at him.

"You helped me, you smiled at me. You looked at me with such lovely eyes. If it is not love, then what is it?!" your face showed an unbelievable expression.

"You delusional! Wake up! It is common sense to help someone when they needed it. It is a courtesy to smile at someone. It doesn't mean that I am in love with you!"

"No! You are in love with me!" he suddenly wants to push himself against you and you can feel his breath against your face. You pushed him as hard as you can but your small figure did not help you at all.

"(y/n)!" suddenly you heard someone call your name and you knew who he is.

"You bastard!" the boy got hit by his face.

"What are you doing to (y/n)?!" you looked at Kei and then you looked at that boy. He looks so terrified and runs away as fast as he can. Kei's tall and big figure makes him dependable and you suddenly feel butterflies make a party in your stomach.

"K-Kei" he turned around to look at you when you called his name.

"Are you okay?" you nodded.

"Thank you for helping me" he sighed.

"You should never give a chance to someone like that approach you again. You better thank Yamaguchi because he ran up to my classroom and asked me to help you" you sighed and suddenly you feel his fingers brush over your cheek.

"You cried" you did not know that you cried until he said it.

Well, since then, you started to look at Kei from a different view. Instead of a childhood friend, you see him as a man. Kei's attitude towards you too is different but what differentiates between you and him is he feels like you're his sibling that he has to protect and now he becomes overprotective of you especially when a guy approaches you.

~End flashback~

That's how you think of Kei and until now you still know that you like more than just a friend but when in high school, your heart seems to have a battle with the appearance of Kageyama Tobio. Since you are a manager of a volleyball club during middle school, you continue being one in high school too. That's when you started to get closer to him. At first, he looked intimidating, but when you become closer to him, he is quite a comical person. All in his head is volleyball. Because of that, you can not believe that he is developed feelings toward you.

~Flashback~

"(y/n), can you tutor me?" you looked up from your book to Kageyama. Then, you chuckled when you saw his serious face.

"Is this because of what Takeda-sensei said?" you asked him.

"Yeah, I can't miss that practice match, so, can you?" he sighed before asking you again.

"Yeah, of course. It's honoured to help our incredible setter, right?" you teased him and he put his hand on his nape.

"You're cute when you are nervous. You know that right?" you laughed when he showed his nervous face.

After that, you started to tutor him. Since both of you are in the same class, it makes it easier. Both of you decided to stay in class during recess and you tutored him as much as you can. At first, you let him copy your notes, then, you asked him to do some questions to help him out. If there is no practice, both of you will go to the library and continue your study. Later, when you want to go back, Kageyama will walk together with you to your home before he continues walking back to his. He insisted even though you already said it is fine.

But, because of that, your relationship with Kageyama changed from classmates to best friends. You also started to call him Tobio instead of Kageyama.

~End Flashback~

Tobio is gradually taking every chance he can get to be with you. You are not that oblivious not to know that he somehow thinks of you more than a friend but you still did not know how he feels for you. Because of that, instead of ignoring it, you took it too. You helped him practice with Yachi and Hinata. You also help his practice just like today. Since Kei did not like to practice over time and already going home, you feel like you become a bit distant with him, especially starting high school. You feel like you become closer with Tobio now.

"(y/n), are you okay?" Tobio asked and you looked at him.

"Yeah, I am okay. Sorry, let's continue" you realised that you stopped giving the ball to him.

"We can stop if you want" you're surprised to hear that. Tobio rarely wants to stop just because of this. But, why not take the chance, right?

"Are you fine with it? I think I will take the chance" he nodded and started to help you tidy up the tools before putting them back in the store.

After that, you sit for a while on the side of the stage. You sighed thinking back to how your relationship with Kei is not like before. He's like distancing himself from you.

"You're sad" you startled and looked beside you. Tobio looks straight into your eyes.
"What do you mean?"
"You look sad, and sighed more than usual" you chuckled. Looks like he knows your mood better than you're.
"Yeah, I guess you can say it like that."
"I think that Kei and I are like strangers nowadays," you told him.
"Tsukishima?" you nodded.

"You have me" you smiled.
"Thanks, Tobio" you patted his shoulder before getting up. Then, Tobio, take your hand.
"(y/n), I like you" you stunned.
"I like you more than a friend" your heart beat more than usual. You are so surprised that no words coming from your mouth. Even though you already somehow know it, you did not expect that you will be like this when you hear those words coming directly from him.

"Tobio, I-"
"(y/n)!" you looked at the door and look at the rage Tsukishima Kei.
"Kei? What are you doing here? Aren't you already at home?" you asked him. Instead of answering you, he comes closer to you and takes your hand away from Tobio.
"Let's go home"
"W-wait, Kei!" you look back at Tobio and saw his dejected face which makes you feel sad.

Before you're going to say at him to let you get your thing, you saw your bag on his shoulder. You keep silent on the way back and but you feel his grasp getting tighter.
"Kei, you're hurting me," you said and he immediately released your hand.
"Why are you-"
"Can you stop being alone with Kageyama?" he cut your words.
"Why?"

"Don't you remember what happened to you before? Do you want it to repeat?" he looked at you.
"But he is Tobio. Not any random guy" you talk back at him.
"Is he not a guy?" he asked again.
"Why are you like this?" instead of answering him, you asked him. You want to know if he feels jealous or just his usual overprotective feelings.

"Why? Did you just ask me why?" you looked at him. No, I asked you how. Is 'why' a hard word to understand?

"Do you like Kageyama?" he asked you. You are lying if you answer him no because Tobio right now seems like having a special place in your heart too.
"If I do?" You can't understand what his expression means now.
"I like you, (y/n). More than a friend" your heart beat rapidly again. Dang, why are these two guys confessing on the same day!

After that, both of you continue walking back and you walk into your home and Kei to his without exchanging byes or good night. You can't sleep well that night because you keep thinking about both Tobio and Kei's confession.

In the morning, you decided to go early to avoid Kei and fortunately, you did not see him when you walk out. You immediately walk to your school as fast as you can but stopped when you heard Kei's calling your name.

"Don't go alone. It's dangerous." Then he walked in front of you but was still within your range. But, this is the most awkward morning ever. You sighed slightly and when you see the school gate, you thank god.
"I-I will go now" before anything, you immediately dash to your class, leaving him behind.

~After school~

You successfully avoid both Tobio and Kei for today. Tobio is the hardest because he is in the same class as you. You have mixed feelings and you don't want to answer their confession just like that. Both of them are important in your life and you don't want it to be awkward later.

"(y/n)!!!" you are surprised to see Yachi running towards you while screaming your name.
"Wh-what? What happened?" you asked her.
"T-They, they are quarrelling" your eyes widen.
"Who?"
"Kageyama and Tsukishima" you ran together with her and surprised to see both of them right now are glaring at each other.

"Kei! Tobio!" Both of them look at you and you saw their annoyed face.
"Out! You guys are lucky that the second and third years still not coming in here" both of them were compelled.
"Yachi, I will handle this, okay" she nodded. You sighed before going out to see them.

"Kei, Tobio. What's wrong?" they did not say a word.
"Is this because of yesterday?" they look at you and you sighed.
"Look, both of you are important to me. Kei, you are the one who knows me the most yet you never know that I have feelings for you, right?" Kei's face was surprised to hear your confession.
"Tobio, you are the one who is always with me nowadays. You even know how I feel just from my expression. You are my best friend but after last night, I don't know anymore. I feel something else" Tobio looks dejected.

"I like both of you, but I know it will be unfair if I can't give a solid answer to you guys. So, can both of you wait for me to think first? Don't fight anymore" you smiled at both of them. They nodded.
"Okay, now let's go back to the gym. Yachi looks like she will be crying any time"

I am sorry that I felt like this. Both of you are giving the same feelings to me but you, you get it more part of my heart. I hope you are really the one for me...
