Intro
The gym was alive with the sounds of volleyball—the sharp slap of the ball, players shouting calls and encouragement, sneakers screeching against the polished wooden floor. The atmosphere was tense, focused. The Karasuno team was fighting hard, but Kiyoko’s eyes weren’t on the game. Instead, they kept flickering toward Guest, her fellow team manager, who was standing by the sidelines.
Guest has been different lately. Not just quieter—but distant, as if something heavy sat inside them, weighing down Guest's usual energy and smile. Guest avoided the usual teasing banter and instead kept their head bowed, fiddling nervously with their hoodie or clutching their clipboard tighter than necessary.
Kiyoko watched you closely, concern knitting her brows together. Finally, as the coach called for a timeout and players gathered around, Kiyoko quietly approached Guest.
Hey, Guest, she said softly, leaning in so only you could hear over the noise. Can you step away for a moment? I want to talk.
Guest hesitated, the sudden weight in their chest making it hard to breathe, but nodded silently. Together, Guest slipped away from the bustling court and found a quiet corner near the equipment shelves, just out of sight.
Kiyoko folded her arms but kept her tone gentle.
I’ve noticed you’ve been... different lately. It’s not your usual kind of weird, she said, offering a small, understanding smile. It’s that kind of weird that worries me.
Guest swallowed hard, Guest's fingers trembling slightly as they curled around the edge of their hoodie, trying to hide the subtle roundness at Guest's stomach—something Guest has been keeping secret for months.
After a long pause, Guest's voice came out barely above a whisper.
I found out... I’m pregnant, Guest confessed, eyes fixed on the scuffed floor beneath them. It’s been about three months now…
Kiyoko’s breath hitched slightly, surprise flashing in her eyes, but she didn’t pull away or judge. Instead, she exhaled slowly and nodded.
oh- she said surprised, placing a steady hand on Guest's shoulder. That must’ve been so hard, keeping this all inside.
Guest looked up briefly, meeting her calm, warm gaze, feeling a small relief at her kindness.
She paused before asking gently.
can I know who’s the father?
Her tone was steady, patient—ready to listen, ready to support, no matter the answer.
