The morning sun streamed through the tall windows of the dance studio, illuminating the polished wooden floors where the two groups were about to train together for the first time. Excitement crackled in the air, but the bottom group was hiding a secret that made them even more eager for the day.
"Okay, remember the plan!" Hinata whispered as they gathered in a huddle, their pastel outfits vibrant against the neutral backdrop of the studio. "Just wait for the right moment!"
"Got it!" Yamaguchi nodded, clutching a glitter bomb like it was a prized possession.
"I can't believe we're actually doing this," Kenma said, glancing nervously at the door. "What if they don't find it funny?"
"They'll love it!" Nishinoya replied, grinning widely. "Trust us!"
As the tops began their warm-up, the bottoms snickered quietly, watching Kageyama lead a series of stretching exercises with a focused intensity. Iwaizumi was demonstrating proper form, and Bokuto was, as usual, bouncing around with exuberance, full of energy.
"Alright, let's start with some partner work!" Iwaizumi called out, clapping his hands. "Pair up!"
Hinata's eyes sparkled with mischief. "Time to set this prank in motion!"
"Who wants to be my partner?" Kageyama asked, scanning the room. His gaze landed on Hinata, who was practically vibrating with excitement.
"I will!" Hinata shouted, running up to him.
"Great. Just keep up," Kageyama said, an edge of challenge in his tone.
As they took their positions, the bottoms exchanged glances, a shared thrill coursing through them. With Kageyama focused on his routine, Hinata whispered to Yamaguchi, "Now!"
Yamaguchi discreetly slipped behind the bench and retrieved a glitter bomb. He carefully rolled it toward Kageyama, who was mid-stretch, completely oblivious.
[Group Chat: Bottoms]
Tanaka: This is it!
Nishinoya: GO!
The bomb rolled right under Kageyama's feet. With a loud pop, glitter exploded everywhere, sparkling like confetti in the sunlight. Kageyama jumped, eyes wide as he found himself covered in glitter.
"What the—?!"
Laughter erupted from the bottoms as Kageyama stood frozen in shock, a rainbow of shimmer covering his dark hair and gym clothes.
"Glitter bomb!" Hinata shouted, barely able to contain his laughter.
The tops turned, confusion morphing into annoyance.
"Are you serious right now?" Tsukishima said, crossing his arms as he watched the chaos unfold.
Iwaizumi sighed, facepalming. "What are you guys doing?"
"You'll thank us later!" Tanaka yelled, still giggling uncontrollably.
"Yeah! You look fabulous!" Yamaguchi added, trying to suppress his laughter.
Kageyama glared, but the corners of his mouth twitched, betraying his amusement. "You think this is funny?"
"Absolutely!" Hinata beamed, spinning around to join the laughter.
After the Prank
As the practice continued, the glitter bomb incident hung in the air like an electric charge, lightening the mood between the two groups. The tops begrudgingly accepted their fate, and soon even Kageyama was caught smiling while attempting to shake off the glitter.
"Alright, let's channel this energy into our dance!" Iwaizumi said, clapping his hands together. "We're here to learn from each other."
With that, they began working on a collaborative routine that blended both styles. The bottoms showcased their fluid contemporary movements while the tops demonstrated powerful hip-hop sequences, the two styles meshing in unexpected ways.
"See? You're getting it!" Sugawara cheered as he watched Hinata and Kageyama struggle to find a rhythm together.
Kageyama rolled his eyes but couldn't hide his grin. "You just need to relax," he said, his tone softer than before.
Hinata beamed, heart racing with excitement. "I can do that!"
As they danced, the initial tension melted away, replaced by laughter and friendly competition. The bottom group began to draw the tops into their playful spirit, challenging them to loosen up and enjoy the process.
Evening: Team Bonding
That night, after a long day of practice, the students gathered in the massive living room, exhausted but exhilarated. The chandeliers twinkled overhead, casting a warm glow over the couches and coffee tables piled with snacks.
"Movie night time!" Bokuto declared, throwing popcorn in the air.
"I'll get the blankets!" Yamaguchi said, racing off to gather supplies.
"Let's not pick a horror movie this time," Kageyama insisted, shooting a look at the others.
"Agreed," Iwaizumi said. "I don't want to deal with any more screams."
"Romantic comedy it is!" Tanaka shouted, grabbing the remote.
The group settled in, laughter and chatter filling the space. As the movie played, the bottoms snuck glances at the tops, noticing how they interacted, teasing each other and cracking jokes.
Nishinoya leaned closer to Tanaka, whispering, "This is actually fun!"
"See? I told you they wouldn't be that bad," Tanaka replied, munching on popcorn.
Midnight Mischief
Later, as the movie credits rolled, the energy shifted again. The bottoms decided it was time for a little more mischief.
"Who's up for a midnight snack run?" Hinata suggested, eyes sparkling with excitement.
"I am!" Yamaguchi chimed in.
"I'll go!" Kenma added, glancing up from his phone.
"Count me in too," Nishinoya said, bouncing on his feet.
The group tiptoed down the hallway, trying not to disturb the tops. As they reached the kitchen, they found it stocked with treats.
"Let's make something!" Hinata exclaimed, pulling out ingredients for cookies.
As they started baking, the sweet smell wafted through the mansion. The tops, drawn by the aroma, wandered into the kitchen, still half-asleep.
"What are you guys doing?" Tsukishima asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Making cookies! Want some?" Hinata offered, holding out a spoon covered in cookie dough.
Bokuto grinned, already stealing some dough from the bowl. "I'm in!"
"What's the plan now?" Iwaizumi asked, leaning against the counter.
"Cookies for everyone!" Yamaguchi said, smiling.
As laughter filled the kitchen, it became clear that the walls separating the two groups were starting to crumble. The night buzzed with energy, setting the stage for a new chapter in their lives together.
Little did they know, this was only the beginning of a chaotic yet heartwarming adventure filled with dance, pranks, and friendship.
