Momo adjusted the bag that was slung on her back and lifted an arm. Gently, she knocked on the wooden door that swung open almost immediately.

"Woah," Nao jumped with surprise, catching the door before it could hit Momo in her face. "Didn't see you there, doll face."

"Is that Momo?" Seno asked quietly, peeking his head around the corner. When his eyes landed on Momo who grinned, his expression lit up slightly.

Nao stepped aside, allowing Momo to enter the house. She was greeted by Seno who took her backpack and brought it upstairs.

"Hi, Kacchan!" Momo said as she playfully reached out for a hug from Kaito. He smacked her hands away, throwing some very unique insults her way.

"Hi, Ichi-chan!" Momo jumped into Ichirō's arms, hugging him tightly. He accepted her hug, enjoying affection from such a cute child. After spending some time with him, she found out that Ichirō has a fascination with cute things such as bunnies, puppies, kittens or cute and small objects. He has become fond of Momo because of that.

"Akkey!" Momo greeted as she approached Akiyama who held a hand up to stop her before she attempted a hug.

"Blegh," His expression twisted at the sound of that name. "That nickname is fucking horrendous."

"Just like your personality." Nao called out, earning a sharp glare from Akiyama who threw a book in his direction.

"Enough with the chit chat. Let's get down to business." Kaito shouted, pushing Nao out of the way. Aggressively, he set up his whiteboard in front of everyone and began to draw on it. "This is Momo-chan!"

The group snickered at his shoddy stick-figure drawing of Momo. His cheeks slightly tinted pink with embarrassment as he yelled at everyone to shut up.

Drawing up another stick-figure beside her, he pointed at it. "And this is Tsukishima-senpai!"

"Ooo!" Momo clapped, excited to see 'Tsukishima' beside her on the board. Kaito shot her a flat look before continuing.

"Momo-chan is in love with Tsukishima-senpai, but he pretends he doesn't know." Kaito explained, turning Momo's stick-figure's expression into a sad face. "What should she do?"

"I didn't know this was an intervention for myself." Momo chimed in, surprised that this was about what she should do with Tsukishima. Seno patted her back reassuringly.

"Isn't it fucking obvious?" Akiyama started, gently smacking Momo on the head. "Confess and ask him out."

The small slap that barely affected Momo earned Akiyama a hard slap upside the head from Ichirō. "The fuck-"

"Yeah, just go for it. Ask him on a date or something. Guys like straight-forward girls." Nao shrugged, encouraging Momo with his words.

Momo cupped her cheeks as she slightly panicked. "I don't know if I can! What if he rejects me?! How can I show my face after that?"

The males stared at her with different expressions, all unsure of what to say to her.

After spending quite a lot of time together, they had gotten extremely close and began to show their true natures to one another comfortably. They were shocked to find out that Momo, the happy-go-lucky girl was actually a worrywart that would fret over everything. Especially when it came to Tsukishima.

"Well, what do you think Seno? She cares about your opinion the most out of us five." Nao nudged Seno who swallowed dryly and shrugged.

"Maybe just wait?" He began uncertainly, looking at Momo who was curious to hear what else he had to say. "Wait it out and see if he feels the same way first. When the time is right, confess. I guess..."

Momo nodded, liking that idea since it was a lot less riskier than the other option. "That's a good idea. Even if I find out that Tsukki-senpai doesn't like me, at least I can stay by his side."

Akiyama leaned against the couch with his hands situated behind his eyes as his eyes fluttered closed. "That's a fucking sad life to live, dumb ass."

Akiyama got slapped again after that.

"What about you guys? Do you guys like anyone?" Momo asked, earning a few different looks from everyone. Ichirō shook his head, having too much of a fascination of cute things to like anyone.

Akiyama shook his head as a look of disgust crossed his face. "That's fucking disgusting. No one's worthy of me."

"More like no one can handle your attitude." Nao's remarks nearly got him killed, but it made everyone laugh.

"A crush?" Nao restated, tapping his chin in thought. A smirk crossed his lips as he pointed at Momo. "You?"

"Please do not joke like that, Naocchi." Momo responded cheerily, shutting Nao down completely. Everyone snickered at this since Momo was unaware of Nao's underlying seriousness.

"Fine. There's a girl in my class who I kinda like, but she just got out of a relationship." Nao explained with a shrug, bringing a small smile to Momo's face. Naocchi's blushing!

"I have a girlfriend." Seno admitted, making Momo's eyes widen.

"Uwahh! Takkun! You're so cool!" Momo gushed, flustering the male who wasn't used to attention like this. She quickly interrogated him about her and found out that she was a first year at Aobajohsai. She was quite pretty.

"What about you, Kacchan?" Momo asked, grinning in Kaito's direction. He averted his eyes, avoiding looking her direct in the face. "Oya?"

"Oyaoya?" Nao chimed in, smirking at Kaito who beginning to turn red.

"Oyaoyaoya?" Momo pushed once more, and Kaito cracked.

"Fine! I like Yachi-senpai! There!" Kaito snapped, flipping everyone off in an embarrassed fit.

"Whattt?!"

"That's so cute, Kacchan!"

"What the fuck, dude? You into string cheese or something?"

"She's not a string cheese, Aki!" Kaito barker, earning a flat look from Akiyama.

"She's skinny, pale, blonde and small. What the fuck else is she?" Akiyama deadpanned, earning a glare from Kaito. He didn't like his crush being compared to string cheese.

"Well, tonight is your chance to confess, Kaito." Nao said as he encouragingly patted Kaito on the back.

The bleach blonde male narrowed his eyes at Nao. "Why?"

Nao grinned smugly as his eyes flirt between Kaito and Momo. "I invited all of our senpai's over for a sleepover."

"Tsukki-senpai's coming?!" Momo lit up like a Christmas tree while Kaito was having a mental breakdown beside her.

"Yachi-senpai?! Here?! I've never seen her out of school! What the hell man? I'm not ready!" Kaito shouted, manhandling Nao who was snickering.

"Can you guys shut the fuck up? I'm trying to fucking order pizza, you assfucks! Fucks sake!" Akiyama shouted angrily before returning to his phone call. Everyone remained silent throughout his call, resuming their conversation when he was done.

"You guys are the complete opposite." Nao chuckled, watching Momo happily wait by the window for her upperclassmen to arrive while Kaito was busy hiding. 

"Sit the fuck down. Why the fuck are you acting like this?" Akiyama snapped as he grabbed Momo by the back of her shirt and yanked her off the windowsill. She fell backwards onto the futon on the floor, yanking Akiyama down with her. 

"Because I love him! Wouldn't you feel the same way?!" She shouted, soon after realizing what position they were in.

"Guess she's been having a lot of fun on her own." Tsukishima muttered as he leaned against the doorframe, peering down at Momo and Akiyama who were stuck in a questionable position.

Yamaguchi laughed sheepishly, glancing away from the two awkwardly. "Guess I was worried for nothing..."

"Tsukki-senpai!" Momo three Akiyama off of her like he was nothing more than a sack of potatoes and jumped up to greet Tsukishima. Her eyes lit up like lights as she smiled at the blonde male with delight. "I missed you!!"

His expression twisted as he placed a hand on her forehead, keeping her at arms-length distance away. "It's hot. Don't cling to me."

Momo pouted, grudgingly agreeing to his command. His hand clasped around her wrist, pulling her forwards to move her and himself out of the way. Nishinoya and Tanaka came barreling through the door, nearly taking out Tsukishima and Momo.

"Did you just save me, Tsukki-senpai? Thank youuu!" Momo cheesed, forgetting his previous words as she threw her arms around his waist and hugged him tightly.

"Less tears, less problems." Tsukishima muttered flatly as he peeled her off of his body. Without a second glance, he walked off and made his way to the living room. Momo quickly followed behind.

"Now that everyone is here, let's wait for the pizza then start the movie." Nao exclaimed, cheering along with Tanaka, Nishinoya, Hinata and Momo.

Tsukishima settled on the couch beside Akiyama who stood up not longer after. Momo who was walking by got shoved into his seat by Akiyama himself.

"Akkey?" She queried as he took a seat in front of her and leaned on the couch with her legs on either side of his body. "What-"

"Shut the fuck up. Be happy I even gave you my seat." Akiyama snapped, having an underlying intention in his actions. Almost all first years smirked, knowing exactly why he made her sit there.

"Wow, your attitude is shitty as ever." Tsukishima snickered, earning a roll of the eyes from Akiyama.

"Thank you, Akkey!" Momo said as she hugged the white haired males head. Her thanks had a double meaning and Akiyama understood it.

"Fuck off."
