"Tell me how I got back here again...?" Suna utters out depressingly as he looks at the familiar ice skating rink in front of him.

M/N smiles brightly beside Suna patting his back reassuringly, "You did great the last time. Don't worry about it!"

Glancing briefly at M/N's sunshine-like amiable grin that did nothing but enhance his hotness, Suna grumbles out softly, "Yeah I know now. I was bedazzled by your good looks... Again."

However this time, M/N and Suna weren't alone, decidedly Atsumu and Osamu too came along. (They both spotted Suna and M/N together and insisted they tag along, not wanting the both of them to be alone together.)

"Wait a minute. Did you just say again?" Atsumu looked suspiciously alarmed at Suna. "Ya came here with M/N alone before?!"

Despite not speaking a word, Osamu was too, intrigued, anticipating for Suna to answer.

Suna only nodded at their questions before noticing that M/N had returned from picking up their temporary skates. Due to the abrupt return of the main subject in question, the twins— mostly the more impulsive Atsumu— were forced to keep their irritation and questions down.

"Alright, so Atsumu and Osamu senpai, have you both ice skates before?" M/N inquires as they all sat on the benches provided, busy wearing up their ice skates.

Osamu replies without looking up as he tightens the buckles of his skates, "Yep, Tsumu and I have been ice skating before. Though it's been such a long time. Not sure if we remember anything at all."

"Yeah. But I'm sure I'll be fine. Samu on the other hand, he'd be lucky if he doesn't fall flat on his poor bum hahah." Atsumu teases as he laughs heartily.

"Yah! Yer the one going to fall on your ass, Tsumu!" Osamu rebuts as he shoves Atsumu, prompting a new scuffle to occur between the two brothers.

Suna deadpans as he slowly takes out his phone, snapping a few photos to keep as potential blackmail.

Seeing the twins clearly being occupied, M/N sighs to himself before deciding to leave Osamu and Atsumu be, dragging Suna away from the scene and towards the rink.

"No, M/N, my blackmail material..." Suna murmurs out with imaginary tears by the corners of his eyes as M/N inches him closer towards the ice.

M/N remain impassive as he bonked Suna's head lightly, "You don't need any more. Don't whine, Suna."

"Eh? I'm not whining." Suna huffs out before returning back to silence.

"Sure, sure I believe you." M/N smiles perfunctorily waving Suna off upon tossing him into the ice rink.

Suna lets out an uncharacteristic yelp from shock before regaining his balance on the ice. He was seriously having a deja vu moment.

"How could you just toss me into the rink?" Suna narrows his eyes as he gazes at the guiltless-looking M/N.

M/N raises his hands in a surrender notion, innocently beginning to skate backwards away from the aggravated fox. "We can talk this out right, Suna?"

"No chance, Akiri." Suna narrows his eyes.

'Oh dear, he's back to last names now. I better skedaddle.' M/N thought to himself before hurriedly turning tails, quickly skating away.

Gazing at the fleeing M/N, Suna temporarily forgets all his previous fears of skating as his eyes locked on his target— M/N.

Suna zooms behind M/N as they both skated in furious circles around the rink in their mad speed chase. After the tenth round around the rink, M/N suddenly stops, turning around to catch the flying Suna in his arms as the middle blocker crashes into M/N.

"Don't be mad anymore, hm Suna?" M/N pouts as he gave his best docile pouting expression, hoping to appeal for forgiveness.

Glancing at M/N's innocently adorable kicked puppy look, Suna's heart uncontrollably softens with all his previous grievances melting away.

Noticing Suna's potential indulgence, M/N deviously added the cherry on top by complimenting the middle blocker, "Suna you skate so well! It's a huge improvement from last time."

Successfully distracting the fox from his prior murderous intentions, Suna smiles sheepishly at M/N's praise. Not at all used to getting commendations. "Ah, it's nothing like that M/N. "

Gently holding Suna's hands on his as they face each other on the ice, M/N beams as he encourages Suna, "Of course you are! I'm proud of you."

A faint dust of pink could be noticed on the tips of Suna's ears as he did a slight bow at M/N's flattering opinion of him. "Thank you so much, M/N."

M/N reciprocates the grin, "No problem, Suna."

A comfortable silence followed that conversation as both males skated leisurely together on ice. It was only after a while had the ravenette remembered that something (or rather someone) was missing.

"Suna, where did the twins go? I didn't see them in the rink?" M/N asks as he gazes at Suna.

Suna let out an exasperated breath of air as he points towards the benches, "They're still there arguing."

"Oh. So they are." M/N blinks, albeit a little shocked that the Miya twins were still caught up in their ongoing verbal war.

Suna sighs, "Just forget about them. They're idiots."

"Well, they'll join us once they settle their disagreement." M/N shakes his head, the both of them agreeing to just let the brothers do whatever they want.

Refusing to settle back to the quietness like before Suna got reminded of a question that he had wanted to ask for quite some time as he spots the shimmering of something shiny around M/N's neck once more, "M/N, what's that around your neck?"

M/N observes Suna for a second before taking the necklace out into clear view, "Oh this?"

Suna exhales a breath as he could finally scrutinize the simple silver pendant unobstructedly, no longer tugged into the ravenette's shirt. The necklace was extremely simple, a black rope chain paired with a sparkling letter X.

"Why is it a letter of the alphabet? It's not your name, is it?" Suna was addled as he inquires.

M/N caresses the necklace around his neck rubbing the 'X' charm affectionately before answering, "It was a present from someone for my 14th birthday."

Suna nods his head in understanding, though slightly displeased that M/N's reply had implied that he had been wearing that gift for quite a while. "Your girlfriend?"

M/N's face did a slight scrunch as he shook his head, "Oh heavens no. He's just a friend." M/N answers despite his face turning a little sour at the last word. Considering X as a friend after all the things he has put the ravenette through was simply a travesty.

Suna lets out an almost visible sigh of relief, "So did that person's name start with X or something?"

M/N smiles mysteriously as an unruly twinkle flashes by his orbs, "I guess so, Suna. Something like that."

Bonus:
"You guys done yet?" M/N inquires, having his arms crossed intimidatingly.

"Yep."

"Yeah."

At least the brothers had the decency to look embarrassed as they glances at the desolated area, noticing that everyone else had already left the rink.

"It's closing time. Time to go." Suna stated bluntly, studying the pair of irresponsible twins.

"Hah?! It's closing already?!" Atsumu yells out in a stupor, freaked out

"We didn't even get to try skating again yet." Osamu groans as he runs his fingers through his locks.

"Well too bad. Maybe don't quarrel for so long hm?" M/N raises a brow with both hands on his hips.

Looking from the now empty ice rink to the angry ravenette, both Osamu and Atsumu's hearts were broken as they eye longingly at the rink, while M/N and Suna drags their wiggling bodies outside "NOOOOOO, We missed you ice rink. COME BACK!"

Death is but the next great adventure~. My head hurts as I'm typing this so yay :) I'm also like extremely stressed right now because of life and my crippling anxiety hahaha 😃 Why am I like that?

Anyways, say hello to the twins being dumbasses as always. I swear one of them alone somehow has more brain cells than both of them together(outside of volleyball). Sigh.

So, as per usual, please don't mind any errors and if you like my writing please do consider dropping me a small donation(the link is on my profile).

Stay safe and
