IT ALMOST SEEMED LIKE THE GYM CAME to a stand-still now that the Aoba Johsai captain had finally arrived for the match. Even if both teams were having their break in between sets, their attention was drawn to the official setter of the powerhouse school. His very presence seemed as though it demanded recognition, or at least he carried himself that way. The smug aura that surrounded him was not unnoticed by Karasuno. In fact, a few of them even seemed to be glowering at him for it. Well, it was more like just Tanaka, who didn't like the attention that the captain was getting from the girls who stood to watch the match.

Endo seemed to be the only one on the team that was a tad bit excited at the arrival of the other boy. Don't get him wrong, it was a bit unsettling to know that they'd have to face his monster serves now, but that made it a bit thrilling for him. He hadn't gotten to play against Oikawa all that much. Karasuno never made it far enough to play against Aoba Johsai at any tournaments. The only time he did get to see Oikawa was when they were in grades school and practiced with each other. If Endo thought about it, the last time he really got to see the cocky setter and talk with him was some time last year. And the last time he practiced volleyball with him was during their first year at their high schools. So, of course, he was excited at the prospect of getting to play against him and see how much he's improved. Not only that, but he was more than ready to show off how he's improved as well.

"Hey! You're back, Oikawa!" The Aoba Johsai coach said as the captain walked over, "How's your leg?"

The brown-haired third-year flashed an ok sign with a smile, "Perfect! I'm good to do regular practice. It was only a light sprain."

His coach shook his head, "Honestly, be more careful. They met our demand to produce Kageyama so we lose face if we aren't using our official setter."

"Sorry, sir," Oikawa apologized, he at least had the decency to look a little sheepish.

Just from one look at him, Sakura could already tell that she didn't like him that much. He seemed to be the overly arrogant type, which didn't sit well with her. It was one thing to be confident in your abilities, it was another to stuff it into someone's face. He definitely seemed like the type to do that. Not only that, but he scarily reminded Sakura of a certain blond foreigner on the team, and she wasn't looking forward to having yet another Endo around.

Then again, Sakura shouldn't judge just based on the vibe she was getting off of him. If he had a shitty personality or the personality of a saint, she wouldn't care. He's a player from a different team. He may be her brother's opponent, but as long as he didn't infuriate her by undermining her brother or otherwise annoying her, then she wouldn't care about Oikawa or what he does.

A girl from the stands suddenly yelled out, "Oikawa, please don't hurt yourself!" There was then a collection of giggles and shouts from other fangirls in the stands. The sound was infuriating quite a few people on Karasuno's team.

"Kageyama, who is Mr. Slim there?" Tanaka was obviously one of them as he gritted his teeth in irritation, "I am exceedingly displeased."

"That is Seijoh's captain," Daichi answered.

Kageyama stared at his former senpai with narrowed eyes, "Oikawa... is a super offensive setter. I'd say he's at the top of his class for attacks and team play." He then turned to the Hinata twins with a slightly troubled expression, "And he's extremely nasty."

"Worse than you?" Shōyō asked in disbelief, not thinking that there could be anyone worse than Kageyama.

Kageyama shook his head, "Maybe worse than Tsukishima." Said boy just looked over at the group with narrowed eyes. Why was he being brought up in this conversation?

Sakura squinted her eyes in thought, "Is that even possible?" She hadn't really met many people with personalities as bad as Tsukishima, but was it possible to be worse than him?

"He must be really bad!" Shōyō exclaimed at the same time.

Tanaka then asked, "You know him, so he's from Kitagawa First?"

"Yes," Kageyama answered with a nod.

Endo slithered himself over to the first-year setter and leaned against his shoulder. "Weren't you his kohai back then?" A wide smile grew to take over most of his face as he seemingly leered down at the younger boy. "His precious Tobio-chan?"

"How do you know that?" Kageyama asked skeptically.

The third-year just continued to smile cheekily. He wasn't sure why he hadn't put it together already. Kageyama was the genius kohai that he had heard Oikawa talk about for a bit. Why hadn't he figured this out beforehand? It should have been quite obvious! Then again, Endo didn't really hang around Oikawa when he was in junior high, so it's slightly understandable as to why he didn't know.

He could see how Oikawa had come to dislike Kageyama, as Endo could see how jealous Oikawa could be of the genius boy. From what he could tell, Kageyama was what Oikawa wanted to be. A young, aspiring setter who had a skill that he was most likely born with. Oikawa had to work hard for the skill that he had now, not just given it by the volleyball gods at birth. Still, this was the type of drama that Eno loved. Oh, he's glad that he ended up on Kageyama's team, his reputation would certainly bring about a lot of drama.

"Yoo-hoo!" The captain of Aoba Johsai called out to the other side of the court, gaining the attention of the Karasuno team. He waved at Kageyama with a smile, "Long time no see, Tobio-chan! Having fun being the king?" His teasing smile then dipped as he caught sight of the blond still hanging on Kageyama. His expression became strained, "Endo."

Endo smirked and disregarded the looks that he was getting from his teammates. He let go of Kageyama and leaned forward with his electric eye burning in amusement as they were pointed at the Seijoh captain. "How's the knee, Flattykawa?"

Oikawa stuck his tongue out at him and shook his head, "I'm not telling you!" He then turned to his own coach to talk with him and ignore the other third-year. His reaction earned a satisfied chuckle from the drama queen who ignored the stares from his team. He already knew he'd have to explain how he knew him, but he wasn't sure if he should tell them everything. No, a brief explanation should be fine, he thought. As much as he liked drama, gossip surrounding himself is something he doesn't likes to divulge people in.

"I learned how to serve and block by watching him," Kageyama explains, pulling the questioning stares from Endo and onto himself. "He is extremely good. However, focus on the game for now. We're going to take the last set."

"R-right on!" Shōyō stuttered.

Kageyama then turned to his senpai who was currently trying to send Oikawa his most intimidating stare. "Tanaka, stop trying to intimidate them!"

Sakura furrowed her eyebrows while walking back over to the bench. "Intimidate? It looks like he's constipated more than anything."

Her comment earned a small giggle from Kiyoko and a deflated Tanaka who tried to fire himself back up by shouting, "I'm seriously gonna kill 'im!"

Endo chuckled at his underclassmen and glanced over at the Seijoh captain. He watched as Oikawa went off to start up his warm-ups. Even from across the room, Endo could see with his keen eyes that Oikawa was favoring one leg over the other. "Ah, I haven't seen that moron in a long while." He tsked while putting down his water bottle. "He's always getting injured."

The game continued on, with points being exchanged and earned by each team. Though throughout the set, there were plenty of girls gathering around, worrying over their poor Oikawa. It certainly encouraged Tanaka to make some more spikes which got through most of Aoba Johsai's blocks. Kageyama and Shōyō did their own set and spike a few times, earning points. Kageyama and Tsukishima also made some crucial blocks while Endo made a few service aces. Overall, the third set was going well and in Karasuno's favor.

Wow, Sakura thought to herself as she looked at the score, match point... who would have thought.

Karasuno was now at match point. Only one more point before they won this practice match. A win now would definitely build up team morale and confidence. They could say that they won against the Aoba Johsai, one of the best volleyball teams in the prefecture. And who wouldn't want that opportunity? Granted there were still a few mistakes that were being made by Karasuno during this set, but it was a work in progress. Tsukishima and Shōyō's receives needed work as did some of their serving, but they were holding themselves against their opponents.

Though the mood changed once Oikawa was subbed into the game. He took the place of one of the team's first-year wing spikers, Kunimi Akira. It was his turn to serve. To say that Karasuno wasn't nervous was an understatement. The only ones who looked about ready were Endo and Daichi, though that could be attributed to the fact that they were the oldest on the court at the moment and good at recieves. That and Endo knew how to receive Oikawa's serves from practice, so he didn't have that much to worry about.

Oikawa, being the cocky teen that he is, stood at the back of the court to serve and pointed at one of the weaker receivers on the team. Tsukishima. Obviously, he was indicating that he was going to serve right to him. If it were anyone else doing that, Endo would have laughed and taunted them about having good aim, but he wouldn't. Oikawa had scary good aim, so there was no doubting whether or not he would actually do it. Without further ado, the captain threw up the volleyball and used a jump serve to hit the ball right where he had pointed. As he had predicted, Tsukishima was unable to receive the ball causing it to fly off into the upper level.

Everyone was in shock at the accuracy, including Sakura, even if it was for a moment. The indication of her shock was mainly just her eyebrows raising up just a bit and her lips opening up the slightest bit. "Yeah, I thought so." Oikawa said from the other side of the court, "I started watching midway through. You guys, Number 6 and Number 5..." Tsukishima and Shōyō blanched at being called out like that. "You're bad at receives. Are you guys first-years?" There was no way that Oikawa would serve anywhere near Endo, knowing that the blond could receive any ball that he served. A downside to having practiced with the drama queen when they were kids. So why not target the newer members of the team? "Okay, I'm going for another."

Once again he did his impressive serve at the same spot, causing Aoba Johsai to earn yet another point as Tsukishima couldn't revive it. "Tsukki!" Yamaguchi shouted in worry as he clutched onto the nearest person to him, which just so happened to be Sakura.

"Tch," She clicked her tongue and gently pushed Yamaguchi away from her as nicely as she could. "I'd appreciate it if you didn't latch on to me, Yamaguchi."

He jumped away from her, already seeing that he was pissing her off just a little. He definitely didn't want to upset her at all. "Gomen Hinata-chan!"

"Hey, you, Great King!" Back on the court, Shōyō started to jump around and shout at Oikawa like a toddler. "Aim for me! I can take it! Target me! Don't mess with me! Hit that thing!"

Tsukishima sneered from behind him, "Stop hollering! It's undignified!"

"Excuse me!" The orange-haired boy shouted at his teammate, offended. Even if Tsukishima was acting like an ass, as usual, Oikawa was definitely getting on his nerves a lot more. So he would just have to put up with the blond giant for the time being. "The thing about volleyball is... each and every guy on this side of the net is your ally!"

Tanaka smiled proudly and flustered to know that Shōyō was using his words, "What choice words of wisdom!"

"Okay!" Daichi stepped in as the captain to control the situation, "Fall back as a group. Tsukishima, get closer to the sideline."

Now Karasuno had set up to make sure that Daichi was in the middle of the court to most likely receive the serve once it came over the net. After all, he is their best receiver on the team at the moment. By also placing Tsukishima towards the sidelines it would increase the chance of Oikawa messing up his serve and maybe hitting it out of bounds. Endo wanted to argue that he should be placed in the center since he could actually receive the serve, but Daichi stuck to his plan. Endo wasn't going to argue with his captain about it, so he just stuck to the front of the net like he was told.

Oikawa served once again and proved that their set up didn't work, at all. Oikawa was easily able to hit it to Tsukishima again, though this time it wasn't as powerful as the last couple.

"Tsukki!" Yamaguchi cried out, causing Sakura to cringe at his shout.

"He made a pinpoint hit on the guy so close to the edge!" Takeda marveled from the sidelines.

Suga shook his head, "But the momentum has to be slower due to the emphasis on control!" This time, Tsukishima was able to receive the ball and return it. "It went up!"

"Tsukki, nice," Yamaguchi let out in relief.

Sakura eyed the ball as it flew over to the other side of the net, "Oops, a chance ball."

Aoba Johsai set up the ball as normal, already believing that they were going to get this point to tie the game. The ball was set to Kindaichi who appeared to have a clear shot. Only, Shōyō came out of nowhere to block it. It was just a one-touch, but it was enough for Kageyama to set the ball. With his impressive speeds, Shōyō spiked the ball onto the other side of the net. Oikawa was amazed, he had barely even moved before the ball went sailing past him. How interesting. He'd never seen anything that fast.

Everyone in the gym was in awe. How did Karasuno win this game?! "All right!" Tanaka shouted, celebrating their win as they collected themselves after that tiring game. They had done it, they won against Aoba Johsai!

Takeda plopped down onto the bench in amazement. Sakura and Suga turned to their teacher with eyebrows raised. Suga asked him, "What's the matter?"

"That was amazing," he breathed out.

"Oh, right." Suga smiled like a proud mother, "Today is your first time seeing Hinata and Kageyama's attack. Aren't they amazing? I mean amazing, even scary."

"It's terrifying," Sakura agreed monotonously earning a sweat drop from her senpai. Yes, it was terrifying and super effective. She could now see just how effective it is when put into a game against another team.

In the past, Sakura would be the first to say that she didn't think that Shōyō would get anywhere with his dream to be like the famed Little Giant. He didn't have a team for the longest time and barely any support. Though she kept her pessimistic thoughts to herself, not wanting to rain on her brother's parade. However, now, seeing that he was making a place for him on this team, that he had a killer combo with Kageyama, she had hope. She didn't want to admit how much hope it was, but it was quite a bit. She could feel that warm feeling in her chest, the feeling that crept on her whenever she was proud of Shōyō. Sakura was finally hopeful that Shōyō would go places with this team. That's all that she wants for him. To be successful. To be happy with what he loves. Only time will tell though and she'd be right by his side the entire time.

The team then ran up to the bench to surround Takeda and bowed to him, "Please coach us."

Takeda was confused for a moment and turned to Sakura and Suga for an explanation. Though Sakura didn't help as she just moved to stand beside her brother and faced him as well. Suga scratched the back of his neck, "Sensei, maybe give a critique or something."

"O-oh, I see." Takeda swallowed as he fidgeted slightly with the stares of his students pointed at him. He cleared his throat and tried to collect his thoughts, "Um... I'm just a beginner when it comes to volleyball, but... But even I can tell that something amazing is going on here." Daichi and Endo shared a glance, "We have some amazing first-years this semester. They were hard to handle in the beginning, but I learned something today. We're nothing if we don't cooperate. A chemical synergy happens when each one encounters the other... Even this very moment is giving birth to other encounters that will change the world. Maybe in some far, remote country. Maybe on the other side of the planet. Or maybe at an ordinary volleyball club, at an ordinary high school, in a northern countryside on a small island in the east. I think that encounters like that happened to Karasuno today. I know I can't prove what I say, but it's better than not believing. All of you will most likely become stronger. Much stronger!" His long and lyrical speech earned himself silence for the students that surrounded him. Even if it was long and not a critique of their playing, it was still just as inspirational. The teacher then panicked as no one really reacted to it. "Sorry! That was a little too poetic! Are you turned off?"

Daichi rushed up to reassure him, "No, no, no, of course not. Thank you."

"Thank you," the team then bowed to him in thanks.

"Oh, y-yeah." He laughed nervously with a light blush on his cheeks.

Sakura huffed in amusement, "I can see why you're a literature teacher, sensei."

With the game now over and clean up nearly done, it was time for Karasuno to head back to their own school. The crows made their way out of the Seijoh school gym together, still buzzing with the after-effects of their win. Shōyō was bouncing in place next to Sakura as he recounted the game to her in detail. Sakura just allowed him to, there was no way that she was going to ask him to stop his excited rant. If someone paid close enough attention, they could see the smallest of smiles on her lips as she side-glanced her brother. She tried to make it seem like she wasn't paying that much attention to him, and uninterested in his babbling. However, Shōyō knew that she was giving him her undivided attention, and that's all that mattered.

"Takeda-sensei complimented us," Daichi commented as he spoke with Suga and Endo at the front of the pack. "But frankly, if we were facing Seijoh and Oikawa in an all-out match, we'd be lacking."

"Spoken like a true captain," A new voice commented from in front of the group as they neared the gate of the school. They all looked up to see that it was the captain of Aoba Johsai himself, Oikawa Tooru who had seemingly waited for them. The brown-haired captain smiled artificially at them, "You know your stuff. Have you been telling them about me, Endo?"

The blond ran a hand through his hair with an arrogant smile that was quite menacing in the dim sunlight, "Don't flatter yourself, Loserkawa. I don't talk about you to others."

Shōyō jumped at Oikawa's appearance, "The Great King makes his entrance!" Most of the team was now ticked off that Oikawa had decided to show up. Endo appeared to be highly amused, the first-years and Tanaka looked thoroughly angered, and the others looked annoyed. Sakura's face scrunched up in a small amount of disgust. She found this a bit weird. Had he waited for them to walk out of the gate this entire time? That's creepy.

"You got a problem, dude?" Tanaka jumped closer to him with his intimidating expression on his face.

Plastered to his senpai's back, Shōyō tagged along to confront the Great King, "What do you want?"

Tanaka continued on with his intimidation attempt, though it didn't seem to be working at all, "Wanna fight, huh?"

"Wanna fight, huh?" Shōyō echoed. It seemed like Tanaka might end up being a bad influence on the little ball of sunshine.

Oikawa just continued to smile, as if he wasn't going to try and antagonize his opponents. "Don't be so hostile. You, little one."

"Huh?" Shōyō jumped at the captain having stated to talk to him.

"Your last one-touch and broad attack were amazing," Oikawa complimented the small teen.

"Huh?" It took a moment for Shōyō to process his words before he blushed, "Oh..." Sakura sighed and bonked her brother on the head, to try and get him to focus. Even one compliment on his skills and he becomes a bumbling idiot. Though he usually is an idiot all the time, so it shouldn't be surprising.

"Let's give it all we got the next time, right from the start," Oikawa started to say, "You didn't get to see our set up. Oh, yes, and we'll be improving our serves, too. It's true, your offense was amazing, but your receives aren't polished." He was clearly pointing out their flaws to try and annoy them quite a bit. The entire team wasn't exactly happy to hear that. "You'll reach your limit very quickly. I'm not the only one who hits powerful serves. The Inter-High preliminaries are coming up soon. Don't get eliminated, okay?" He then raised his hand and pointed at Kageyama with a smirk, "Because I... want to pulverize my dear underclassman, setter-on-setter, in an official match." He then spun around to glare at Endo with a fire in his eyes that burned just as brightly as it did while he was looking at Kageyama. "And you! I'm going to beat you like I always do, got that?"

Endo smirked cheekily as his eyes sparkled at the challenge, "We'll see."

Already getting angered by what Oikawa had been saying, Shōyō jumped over to Tsukishima and grabbed his jacket, to the taller boy's annoyance, "The receivers will train."

Tsukishima grunted and tried to pull himself away from the small ginger, "Hey, let go."

"Receivers don't improve overnight," Oikawa stated, "Ask the captain. He should know. There's not much time left 'til the tournament. I look forward to seeing you there." He turned to start walking back into his school gym, however, he paused. He saw something out of the corner of his eye. "Oh? Another chibi?" He caught another head of orange hair and was confused for a second as he raised a questioning brow. He looked between the apparent twins with interest and bent down slightly to try and be eye-level with the girl. Sakura couldn't tell if he was doing it just because or to make fun of her height. Either way, she didn't appreciate it. "Wow, you two look identical, are you as good as a volleyball player as your twin?" There was no way that he could not think that those two were siblings, well, twins. They were, as he said, identical. The only difference he could find between them was the dull look in the girl's eyes, which was slightly off-putting. Still, she'd probably just end up being like any of the other girls who swarm around him, right? Every girl that he came across fell for his charm, even the cold, tsundere type. She'd be no different, he thought.

The other orange-haired teen paused in her steps to follow after her brother's team. She sighed, yare yare. Sakura ignored the name-calling and turned to stare at the third-year setter in boredom. What was with volleyball players and being so cocky and annoying? She had yet to meet a single boy who wasn't annoying like this. Perhaps you just needed to be annoying to play volleyball? She smiled extremely wide at the older boy as it was pretty obvious that it was fake. Not only that, but her eyes were cold and unamused, "You can say all you want, Oikawa-san, but I know my brother's team will work hard to beat you." She stated bluntly as her brown eyes were sharp as she pinpointed Oikawa to the spot. Sakura was doing quite a good job of being intimidating, Oikawa may have even shivered under her gaze. She didn't even need to try and she could be quite the terrifying person. "Don't underestimate them, got it?"

Oikawa hummed in thought as if considering what she had to say. He had to admit, she was quite scary, though he was used to scary people like this thanks to being friends with Iwaizumi. Still, her straightforward words gave quite a bit of insight into what type of girl she is. The cold, tsundere type. How fun. Without saying anything else, the Aoba Johsai captain turned to walk back into his school's gym. He certainly had quite a bit to ponder over now with this new and improved Karasuno team.

Kageyama looked between his teammates before turning to Daichi, "Don't let him get to you. He likes to razz people like that."

"He really does get under your skin," Endo nodded his head as his eyes had yet to stray from Oikawa. His blue hues seemed to be glued to Oikawa's back as he disappeared from sight. All of this, the fact that Endo seemed to know the other captain, and that he was staring after him with such a knowing expression, just raised even more questions from his friends.

Daichi just chuckled, "It's true. We don't have much time before the Inter-High Preliminaries, but he should be coming back soon."

Shōyō tilted his head at his captain, "Who's coming back soon?"

"The Guardian Deity of Karasuno." Just those simple words brought an air of mystery and amazement to Shōyō. Who could have such a title on Karasuno's team? How good of a player could they be to gain such a distinguished title? Though Sakura couldn't help herself but think that things were going to get even more chaotic once this "Deity" came back to the team. She could only hope that it wouldn't get too hectic.

Now that it was dark, and Karasuno had finished their practice, it ws time for the team to clean up the gym. "All right, let's clean up quickly." Daichi told the team as they gathered around him and Takeda, "Then we're done. Good job today." He then sent them off to start cleaning up the gym together as he turned to talk with their advisor.

At this point, the Hinata twins were beyond tired. Both of them had seemingly run out of energy for the day. It almost seemed impossible for Shōyō since he always had an abundance of energy for everything that he ever does. However, he'd have to burn out at some point. Sakura being tired wasn't that surprising since she didn't seem to have as much energy as her brother. Most people would assume that she didn't because of her mellow and quiet personality, though they would never believe that she actually has just as much energy as Shōyō. She just doesn't use it as much as her brother. Shōyō jumps and runs around any chance he can get while Sakura conserves her energy at any chance she can. Though that didn't mean she was any less tired at the moment. Watching that practice game definitely tired her out.

Much like his sister, who may or may not be falling asleep at the moment, Shōyō was swaying from side to side. If he kept this up, he'd end up falling asleep leaning against the mop he had been using. "Hinata-kun, that's enough mopping." Ennoshita said as he made sure the obviously tired first-year didn't fall over due to his exhaustion, "Go home."

"Look at that Tsukki," Yamaguchi chuckled as he and his best friend mopped up the gym floor together.

Tsukishima snickered at the sight of Shōyō almost falling asleep while standing, "Amazing." He then took a glance over at the other Hinata twin who was doing the same thing as her brother. Though she was sat on the floor by the door almost falling asleep where she sat. He huffed, so maybe there was at least one similarity between the twins.

Endo leaned over the girl by the door with a tilted head. His eyes sparkled, "Look how cute Hinata-chan is!"

Tanaka jumped over as well, marveling at the cuteness of the first-year girl, "She's adorable!"

"You two have five seconds before I kick you in a very uncomfortable place," Sakura muttered tiredly with her eyes still closed, "One-" She barely even started to count before the two boys retreated, not willing to risk getting hurt by the small girl.

Endo made sure to use the volleyballs that he had been carrying as a shield for his crotch, which she most certainly had threatened. He pouted while scurrying away, "Why are the first-years so violent?"

Everyone was finishing up their clean up for the night. Of course, Sakura was no help since she didn't want or need to help them. She wasn't a member of the club so she isn't obligated to clean up after their practices and such. She's just the team photographer, all that she's concerned about was taking photos. Though at the moment she was wondering how she was going to get home since she's so tired.

It's way too late, she tiredly thought to herself, why do these practices run so damn long?

Though she didn't have to wait much longer since almost everything just had to be put into the closet. Then she would finally get to leave! Putting the mops that he and Tsukishima had used, Yamaguchi was almost done with his clean up. Though he did end up finding something in the equipment closet. "What's this?" He muttered to himself as he pulled out a wooden mop that was broken in half. He turned to the third-years also in the equipment closet with him, "This mop looks dangerous. Can I throw it away?"

Once Suga caught sight of it, he swiftly walked over and took the two pieces from him. "Oh, don't worry about that. It's all right." He stared down at the two halves sadly, a far off look in his eyes. "We can fix it, and still use it."

Yamaguchi eyed him in confusion, "Huh?"

Just entering the closet with the last of the volleyballs, Endo smiled widely. "Come on, Yamaguchi," he stepped in and grabbed his kohai's shoulders to steer him out of the closet, "we can finish up in here."

The first-year looked between the two with a raised eyebrow, thoughtfully confused. He had yet to pick up on the slight melancholy atmosphere that was slowly emanating off of Suga. Not only that but he couldn't see how strained Endo's smile was. Yamaguchi tilted his head, "Are you sure?"

Endo smiled brightly, his lips stretching into a smile that was far too big to be real, "Of course!"

With one last curious glance, Yamaguchi headed out of the closet to grab his things and meet up with Tsukishima. Still in the closet, Suga put down the broken mop in a safe place while Endo approached him. He placed a reassuring yet firm hand on his shoulder. "Those two'll be back," he told him softly with his fake smile now replaced with a small twitch of his lips. His expression, while not completely confident, still seemed to have hope in it. "They can't stay away forever, you know."

Suga nodded his head, "Yeah..."

The team soon went their separate ways to head home. Tanaka, Kageyama, Daichi, Suga, and the Hinata twins had headed out together and made their way down the hill. The single brain cell trio had wanted to head into the convenience store at the bottom of the hill to grab some food. So while they harassed the worker at the store, Sakura grabbed her and her brother's bikes from where they were chained up.

Now the group was walking down the dark streets to their homes, "But I gotta say... Nice Guy sure has an amazing serve." Tanaka commented, "We would've been in trouble if he'd played from the start. He's Kageyama's junior high senpai, after all... Huh? Wait a second." He turned to Kageyama as they all stoped to face the younger setter. "Why are you at Karasuno, Kageyama? The strongest school in the prefecture is Shiratorizawa."

Shōyō tilted his head with a mouthful of his food, "Shiratori?"

"Shiratorizawa," Sakura simply answered her brother with a roll of her eyes. He should know what the school is, not only because of its volleyball reputation but because of her.

"They're top in the prefecture." Tanaka explained, "They're a powerhouse school ranked among the top eight in the country."

The short boy nodded his head in amazement, "Oh."

Kageyama just stared at them plainly, "I didn't make Shiratorizawa."

"You didn't make it?" Tanaka exclaimed in confusion, thinking that an amazing setter like him would be able to get into Shiratorizawa.

"I never got a recommendation from them, so I took a general entrance exam." He explained, "I didn't understand the exam at all."

Sakura expected that much from him. She had to admit that the entrance exam seemed quite tough. Of course, she didn't have to take it since she received a full ride to the school. Though she had a feeling that even she might have trouble with the exam if she were to take it. However, she would still pass it in the end.

"That school is super hard to get into by conventional means," Daichi agreed, already knowing how rigorous and tough the school is along with the entrance exam.

"I guess the King isn't very good at studies," Tsukishima commented snidely as he and Yamaguchi walked past the group to head home. Kageyama bristled at the jab at his intelligence which caused Sakura to huff in amusement. She tried to hide it behind her hand since it was Tsukishima who had made the remark, she didn't need that beanpole to know that she found something he said funny. That certainly would inflate his stupid ego, and she didn't want that.

Yamaguchi snickered and walked alongside his best friend, "See ya."

"But why did you come to Karasuno?" Shōyō asked once Kageyama had calmed down from Tsukishima's comment, "Are you an admirer of the Little Giant, too?"

Sakura shook her head and took the power bar from Shōyō's hands to take a bite out of it, "Not everyone wants to be like the Little Giant, nii-san."

Kageyama shook his head, "I heard Coach Ukai is coming out of retirement."

"Ukai?" The Hinata twins asked in unison with matching tilted heads.

Tanaka nodded his head, as he pointed into the air strongly and exclaimed, "An outstanding coach who took unknown Karasuno to the spring nationals!"

"Wow!" Shōyō jumped at that while Sakura raised an eyebrow in interest.

Tanaka continued on his explanation. "The name "Ukai of Karasuno" is famous. They call him the coach in charge of vicious crows."

Sakura tried to imagine what kind of coach this would be. He would definitely be a no-nonsense kind of person, she thought. He wouldn't take any sort of excuse about someone's inability to do something in a game. There was one thing that she didn't envy athletes for, and that was having to deal with coaches like that.

"Second and third-years got some coaching from him. He was pretty Spartan." Suga explained with a bit of irritation in his voice. It seemed like even the reminder of all the back-breaking training that they had to do. He looked over at the first-years to see that Shōyō and Kageyama looked jealous at the training that they got with the crow coach. "Why do you look so envious?" He sweatdropped, "Coach Ukai was going to officially come out of retirement, but... he collapsed."

Kageyama's expression hardened, "But I figured, no matter what school I attended, I'd be up against high school students like me. There's no reason why I couldn't win."

"Quit being a sore loser." Tanaka chuckled, "You can act cool about it but you failed just the same."

Kageyama grabbed Shōyō by his jacket, as the tangerine had been snickering as well, and held him up over the ground. "That's not true, and I'm not acting cool about it. We did defeat a top four team today, didn't we?"

"True, 2-1 against Seijoh." The second-year nodded his head in thought, "I was able to score one free, too, thanks to Hinata-kun's decoy."

Shōyō saluted, "Thanks."

"But how was your debut match for you?" Tanaka asked the ball of sunshine as Sakura punched Kageyama's head to get him to drop her brother. Kageyama did as she wanted but glared at her for having hurt him. She just stared at him blankly showing that she didn't care that she may have hurt him. Besides them, Shōyō remembered what it felt like on the court. The sting on the palm of his hand from when the volleyball had hit his hand still lingered. The reminder of the exhilarating feeling of actually scoring points for the team brought joy to him in the cool Japanese street. It was his first match, and he sure hoped it wouldn't be his last, he loved it so much. Though Tanaka decided to drag him down from his pedestal for a moment, "Well, you really went crazy in that first set."

Kageyama joined in on it as the two loomed over Shōyō, "You scored as many points as you lost, so don't get complacent."

"Why must you say things like that?" Suga exclaimed as Shōyō deflated at their words. As much as it was hurtful, it was also true, Sakura thought.

"That's right. We're lacking in a lot of ways." Daichi said wisely, "Today's victory was by the skin of our teeth."

Shōyō jumped up in enthusiasm, "I-I will practice a lot!"

"Oh, yeah." The captain sweatdropped at the boy's energy, "Individual level-upping is important, too. But Karasuno, as it currently stands, is fundamentally short of members."

Kageyama nodded his head as he started to think out loud, "That's true. We need a libero, especially for defense. And we need an ace spiker who can battle three blockers all by himself."

"A-Ace?" Shōyō raised his hand, "That can be me."

The dark-haired setter scowled at the boy, "I told you, you're the best decoy." He turned to the third-years, "But didn't you say the "Guardian Deity" is coming back?"

"Yeah," Daich nodded.

Suga then spoke up, "We're not powerful, but we're not particularly weak, either. We had outstanding players in the past, too. But we were never able to apply to their strengths effectively." Tanaka and Daichi silently agreed with that fact, "But if all of us unite, and we also have new strength coming from our first-years... If we're able to connect all those strengths together..."

"...we could definitely go to the Summer Inter-High, the national tournament." Daichi continued for him as the morale of all the boys started to grow just a little bit at their vice-captain and captain's wise words, "It won't be a distant goal. It can actually happen."

Shōyō's eyes sparkled, "The Summer Inter-High Tournament! I've heard about it!"

"But that person who's coming back..." Kageyama tilted his head, "where has he been all this time?"

The upperclassmen all appeared to become slightly sheepish at the question. Tanaka was the one to answer, "He was suspended for one week and banned for a month from club activities."

"A delinquent?" Shōyō gasped, "He's a delinquent?"

"No... he just gets too fired up. He's a good guy, for real." Tanaka reassured them, which caused Sakura to raise an eyebrow. What kind of guy would this Deity have to be for Tanaka to say that he gets too fired up? Tanaka continued on, "And not only that, he is... a player we could say is Karasuno's unique genius. But I guess he's not the only one anymore, since we have cocky-as-hell Kageyama with us." Said setter narrowed his eyes at the second-year as the twins snickered at him.

"Call him "senpai" when he comes back, Hinata-kun." Daichi commented as they turned to head off, "You'll make him gleeful like an idiot, like Tanaka."

Tanaka deflated at his captain's words, "Like an idiot?" The group then started to walk once again, except for Shōyō who was lost in thought. He was already starting to think about what this Deity was like, he couldn't wait to meet him! Tanaka eventually called out to him and broke the orang-headed boy out of his thoughts, "Hey, we're leaving you behind."

"Oh. Coming!"

Suga then turned to the quiet girl of the group who just continued to walk alongside them with her bike. She had barely said anything during this entire conversation. He had chalked that up to just being apart of her personality. Through these few weeks that he's known the other Hinata twin, she certainly was on the quiet side, unlike her brother. He quite liked that about her, since she usually is the level-headed one to keep Shōyō under control. "Hinata-chan?"

"Hm?" She turned to her grey-haired senpai with a raised eyebrow.

Suga gulped slightly at the vacant look in her eyes, "Why did you come to Karasuno?"

Sakura shrugged her shoulders and continued to look forward, barely giving him a lingering glance, "Nii-san decided on Karasuno, so I came here too."

"Didn't you get a scholarship somewhere, imouto?" Shōyō asked as he hopped over to walk beside her. His eyes were wide and curious as he remembered how excited their mother had been that she got a scholarship. He didn't remember what school, but he knew it had to be good since his mother was extremely, extremely excited for Sakura. Then she was also extremely disheartened that Sakura didn't accept it.

She nodded her head, "Yeah, but I didn't accept it, obviously."

"What school was it?" Tanaka joined in on the conversation as he grew to be interested as well. It's not like Sakura divulged anyone in herself. The only one who knows things about the girl is her brother, so of course, he's going to be interested in hearing about her. All of the boys were, including Kageyama. He tried to act indifferent, but he was also listening in on the conversation earnestly.

"Shiratorizawa."

"W-what?" The boys exclaimed together at Sakura's monotone answer. After they were just discussing how dificult it is to get into that school and she was acting as though it was nothing. They all knew that she was in advanced classes, but just how smart is this girl to think that getting into Shiratorizawa was nothing to freak out over?

Tanaka jumped at her, "So you got into the powerhouse school! Why didn't you say?"

"You didn't ask me." She stated plainly and clicked her tongue, "I got an academic scholarship from them." There was no way that they could think that she got accepted into the school based on a sports scholarship or recommendation. She is by no means a sporty person. Sure she could run fast, like her brother, but she had no power when it came to volleyball or any other sport. She couldn't jump as high as Shōyō, she had a decent amount of stamina, and she has little to no technique. The only good thing that she might have that's good while in a sport is her game sense. Though she'd actually need the athletic ability to apply those strategies. She pursed her lips as she thought back to her short visit to the powerhouse school, "Though it was too far away and I'd have to live on campus if I did chose to go there."

Kageyama eyed her for a moment before scoffing, "And you can't be too far from your doppelganger, huh?"

"I guess," Sakura snippy said already feeling her stomach churn at his tone, "Besides I met a few guys there and they're definitely too annoying to be around. They're probably worse than Tanaka." The second-year blanched at her words and what she was insinuating. Though the others seemed to find it funny.

Daichi and Suga chuckled at her words as the captain asked, "Worse than Tanaka?"

"I know seems impossible, but it's true," she nodded her head as she thought back to the few people that she had the pleasure of meeting on her tour of the school. She supposed that that was another reason why she was glad she followed Shōyō to Karasuno. Then she wouldn't have to deal with those guys.

"I'm not that bad!" Tanaka exclaimed in offense.

Sakura smirked ever so slightly, obviously enjoying the banter between them all as she huffed in amusement, "Sure, sure."

After bidding the other team members goodbye, the twins had started their long ride home. Eventually, the Hinata twins had finally gotten home after their journey over the mountain. Surprisingly, the ride home was a tad bit quieter than usual. Most of the time, Shōyō would talk to Sakura about their days. He would rant on and on about a difficult assignment or maybe something Kageyama said to him, but not this time. Sakura was unsure what he was wondering about in that messy brain of his, but she didn't worry about it.

Unknown to her, Shōyō had been mulling over what she had said earlier. She chose to go to Karasuno because of him... As much as he loves having Sakura with him at school... Wouldn't she have wanted to go to Shiratorizawa? It's a far better school in nearly every aspect. He certainly didn't like the idea of not getting to see Sakura every day like usual, but to give up such an amazing opportunity didn't seem all that logical to him. Here he is thinking logically about her actions, isn't he suppose to be the impulsive one? How was he the one thinking logically about this? So their ride was silent beside their heavy breathing and occasional curse from Sakura as she nearly veered off of the road a few times due to her tiredness.

Eventually, they made it home and greeted their mother accordingly as they settled in. "Did you really come to Karasuno because of me?" Shōyō finally asked as they entered the main living area. Their mother was already in the kitchen cooking up late dinner for the twins while Natsu was most likely already in her room asleep.

"Well, yeah," Sakura stated as if it were the most obvious thing ever as she pulled off her shoes. She looked over to him to see the troubled expression on his face and raised an eyebrow, "Why do you sound upset about that?"

Shōyō tilted his head, "You had the chance to go to a really good school, imouto, but you came to Karasuno..."

"Karasuno is a good school too." She pointed out, already seeing where he was going with this, "It's definitely not on the same level as Shiratorizawa academically or athletically, but you know I don't worry about that stuff. I'd rather be with you than surrounded by a bunch of stuck up strangers at that rich kid school. You know I can't make friends that easily."

Shōyō still had a bit of a bad feeling about this. She gave something up to go with him. It didn't sit right in his stomach. She may have deprived herself of certain things that she wouldn't get at Karasuno. All he wants is for Sakura to be happy just as he is, and if she was sacrificing some things to make him happy, he didn't want her to be held back because of him. "It still would have been a good opportunity-"

"No," she grunted with a tone that strongly called for the end of the conversation, "I just didn't want to go, okay?" She stomped off to their bedroom with the sick feeling bubbling in her chest. She didn't like how Shōyō was questioning her. How he was pointing out how she dictated her decisions based on what he does. She didn't know if he realized it or not, but he was pointing out how Sakura sacrifices certain things to be with him. She plopped down her bag onto her bed and sighed sadly while biting her bottom lip. "...and I didn't want to be alone." She finally voiced up the real reason why she didn't go to Shiratorizawa, why she gave up the scholarship.

How pathetic was that? She was so unwilling to change, too scared to be separated from her twin, that she gave up a perfect opportunity to go to a prestigious school. She was too scared to be alone and left behind by her brother to make her own decision and go to another school. What would have happened if she did decide to go to Shiratorizawa? Would she and Shōyō have grown distant since they would be away from each other for so long? Would he end up forgetting about her? Would their relationship have been affected? Though she wouldn't chance it. She would not give even the idea of her losing the close bond that she has with her twin a chance to manifest. So she didn't take the offer, she chose to follow Shōyō and make sure that she was right next to him like she was used to.

Sakura huffed at her own patheticness and started to pull out her school work. She needed a distraction, right now. The teen didn't want to think about her own flaws, her inability to make her own decisions that were different from Shōyō's. It was always about Shōyō for her, she never thought about herself. Maybe she should, now that she was in high school. It was a time to reinvent herself! Though until then, she had an English assignment to focus on.

Sakura laid her head on the desk she was sitting at as she stared at her camera in front of her. The lens glared back at her as if it could see right through her, it could see all of her secrets, all her fears, everything she tried too hard to hide. That might be a reason she hated having her picture taken. She would much rather be behind the lens, to take the picture and capture a moment in time than be the one captured.

Her cheek was pressed up against the desk as she listened to the excited chatter going on around her. Everyone in the photography club was more than ecstatic to start working on their gallery for this month. People already had ideas about what to do about it. She heard some third-year girl say that she wanted to take photos of her new boyfriend, a second-year said he would like to take pictures of his new pet. A second-year boy said that he wanted to take a picture of his house, which his family had just moved into, and another second-year said they were going to take pictures of the store that their family had just opened up.

Everyone had something, or at least an idea, of what to take a picture of that was related to the idea of "new beginnings" or "rebirth". Yet Sakura didn't have much. All that was new for her was that she started school at Karasuno, yet she felt like that wasn't enough. Sure, if she took a picture of the school and explained why it was new to her, she would probably be original in this idea since she was the only first-year a part of the club. However, it felt so... superficial to her. It was an easy idea for her to grab onto and she wanted her first photo in the gallery to be... meaningful.

"Something got you down, Hinata-chan?"

Sakura turned her head to look up to find the president of the photography club, Shimada Emi, standing beside her with a large smile. The brown-haired third-year leaned against the desk the younger girl was sitting at and peered down at her green eyes. Sakura cleared her throat and sat up slightly, "Nothing, senpai. I'm just thinking about what to do for the gallery."

"Ah, yes, I remember the first gallery that I participated in." Shimada sighed in wonder, nearly getting lost in thought about her time as a first-year. Though she shook her head to focus on the present, she waved her hand dismissively, "You don't have to worry about it too much, all right. It's your first one, after all, don't think too hard about it."

Sakura considered her words for a moment before staring down at the camera in front of her, "But isn't that the point, to think hard about what you put in the gallery, to make it meaningful?" She looked back up at Shimada to see that she startled her slightly with her sentiment. She knew that she was right, to some degree. When an artist displays their art, no matter what medium, they always want it to have some sort of deep meaning, right? So why would now be any different?

"Well, I guess yeah, but you really shouldn't stress about it!" Shimada chuckled lightly and scratched the back of her neck, "What I mean is... That what you put into the gallery should be what you find meaningful. Don't worry about if anyone else will think it's meaningful, or if they think it's good." Shimada ruffled Sakura's short hair playfully and sat down on top of the desk. She did her best to try and calm the first-year down. She could already see the frown on her face starting to form and didn't want her kohai to feel down about this. "Only focus on what you want."

The younger girl considered her senpais words and glanced away from her in slight embarrassment, "...What if I don't know what I want to do?"

Shimada considered her struggle for a moment before an idea struck her, "Think simply, what's new to you this year?"

Sakura thought pretty hard about that for a second. High school is new to her, but she really didn't think that was a good enough idea. Other than that, there weren't that many new things apart of her life. Though she supposed there was one thing that was new to her that she had been around for the past few weeks. She pursed her lips, "The volleyball club, I guess."

"There you go!" Shimada exclaimed happily, which caused Sakura to cringe, "You can take a picture of the team or something!"

"But that's not..." Sakura trailed off.

Shimada tilted her head, "Not what?"

"It's not really... mine?" The younger girl sighed and tried to think of what to say about this. It took a moment for her to try and collect her thoughts about it. Shimada is already starting to become a good friend, at least, as close as a friend as Sakura would allow. She didn't want to divulge all that much about her, however, she had a feeling that if she wanted help she needed to at least tell Shimada something. Sakura finally came up with some sort of explanation, "I mean, it's not my team, it's Shōyō's... and I want to take a picture of something that's new to me, you know."

Shimada nodded her head and placed a hand on her chin, "I totally understand." She stared down at her kohai to see the slightly troubled expression on her face. Shimada could tell that there was more to this than Sakura would like to say. She's only known the first-year for a short while, but she has grown to like the girl. The third-year could easily tell that Sakura had trouble with making friends. This was obvious from how Sakura liked to keep to herself and never went out of her way to talk with others. She didn't seem to try and make friends in the club, which Shimada had thought was because everyone else in the club, which was only like five other people, were all second and third years. Still she was glad that she had opened up just a little bit, it warmed her heart to know that Sakura was willing to open up to her, even if it was just a little bit. She smiled softly, "You know, you have a little while to think about this, you don't have to make a decision right here, right now. You can decide this later." She then brightened even more, if that were possible, "When I can't think of what to enter into the gallery, I like to think about the things that I enjoy the most. I love baking! So I take my mind off of photography for a bit and bake cookies or something. Then I can come back to the gallery later with fresh eyes."

"That's actually a good idea..." Sakura thought about it for a moment. Her senpai's words seemed to be good advice. She is overthinking the gallery ever since she was first told the theme of it. Shimada was right, stepping back from the gallery should calm her down and take her mind off of it for a bit. Then once she came back to it later, she might have a better idea of what to do about it.

"So?" Shimada exclaimed in eagerness which broke Sakura out of her thoughts, "What do you enjoy the most?!"

Sakura monotonly answered, "Photography."

Shimada processed that for a moment and blinked, "Hm, anything else?"

"I don't know..." The younger girl slumped down in her chair. She didn't really have any other interests. She always had her focus on Shōyō and what he did, so she didn't have many hobbies. Though really it was just volleyball. Shōyō drowned himself in volleyball the same way Sakura drowned herself in photography. The only other thing that she really ever did was study, but she wasn't sure if she should do that to take her mind off of photography. Shimada was most likely referring to things that would calm her down and relax.

Shimada pursed her lips in thought, "How about we try something different... Why do you like photography?"

Sakura raised her eyebrows in confusion, "Huh?"

"Since you love photography, maybe thinking back to why you like photography, you'd be inspired on what to do for the gallery."

She tilted her head in thought, "I guess that could work."

"Great!" Shimada smiled brightly and jumped up in excitement. She was extremely glad that she was able to help her precious kohai in her troubles. The third-year could only hope that Sakura came to her again if she needed any help

Sakura huffed in amusement as the corners of her lips lifted slightly, "Thanks, senpai." She found it quite funny how excited Shimada was getting about this. She seems like such a kind person, and Sakura was glad that she had Shimada around to talk with. Maybe... just maybe, Sakura could confide in Shimada a bit more. A friend. Perhaps Shimada Emi could become Sakura's first true friend.

Shimada's smile was a warm as the sun, which may or may not has helped Sakura feel secure. "No problem, Hinata-chan!"

Soon enough, the club came to an end, and Sakura and the few other club members bid each other goodbye. Shimada locked up the club room while Sakura was the last the leave and headed towards the gym where her brother was. Just like any other day, she would have to wait for Shōyō to finish up his volleyball practice before she would have to head home. No matter how much she argued that she could do it on her own, Shōyō would not let his sister ride her bike home alone. Curse her protective older brother!

Though on her walk to the gym, Sakura started to wonder about the gallery. She thought back to what Shimada had suggested being inspired for the event. Why does she like photography so much? Well, at face value she would say she likes capturing a moment in time, whether it's good or bad. To keep that moment in time forever encased in a photo has fascinated her since she was little. Well, it's fascinated her since the beginning of middle school.

As she walked through the chilly air, she remembered the first moment she held a camera and took a picture. The more she thought about it, she sighed heavily as she remembered who had gotten her into photography. She didn't know the woman's name, and yet she had impacted Sakura's life that it was laughable. It was a one-time meeting, but it changed the course of Sakura's understanding of life so much.

It gave her a hobby to have, something that Shōyō didn't have. It was her own. She supposed this was the first time that she got the idea of being different from her brother. Sure, back then she didn't look identical to her twin, but even then she never left his side. This was the first time she got a taste of individuality. She finally had something to call her own that didn't involve Shōyō at every moment.

So maybe the reason that she like photography was because of how it was one of the only differences between her and Shōyō. It gave her an identity that she could have for herself. Though how would she show that in a photo? As Shimada had said, she doesn't have to think about how a photo's meaning would be seen by others, instead just focus on how it was meaningful to her.

She was broken out of her thoughts when she finally made it to the gym to find the boys still practicing. Lazily strolling in, she greeted Kiyoko and Takeda before sitting and waiting for the practice to end. Sakura watched the boys continue to practice their receives, blocks, and spikes. Shōyō's skills really showed on this team, she thought. Her brother was fast and could jump high, however, she knew that he lacked in some things like blocking and serving. Though even if he wasn't the best all-around player, Sakura was happy for him. To have this team, these guys to help him improve his skills was all she ever wanted for her brother. Well, that and the ability to play as many games as he could. In her seat against the wall, if the boys had been paying attention, they would have noticed the small smile on her face as she watched Shōyō get yelled at by Kageyama.

Sure, it was a good thing to want your sibling to succeed, especially with such a close relationship that the twins had. However, to completely focus on your sibling and not even think about yourself was a bit problematic. Though now, she was going to fix that now that they were high schoolers. She wants to be different, she wants to be her own person. So to do that, she'll focus on her photography. To do that, she has to find her inspiration from why she likes photography. She'll figure that out soon enough.

Helpless

Day 6 of Birdie’s Bokuto Week

Summary: After Bokuto staked his claim on your body, you don’t have the energy to push him off and tell him no. When he’s a bit too loud one night, will you find a way out of this predicament or become more helpless than before?

Warnings: noncon, toxic work environment, cum eating, exhibitionism/voyeurism, f. oral receiving, rimming, threesome-ish, dacryphilia, overstimulation, somnophilia, nipple play

Everyone could tell that Bokuto was much more chipper these days, each play reflecting his mood as each ball made it in the line and managed to not get blocked. If they did, he simply just smiled and laughed it off, but his gaze always turned to you and smiled your way, wishing for your approval. A small clap of the hands would do it, showing small appreciation. When he turned away from you, you’d end up dropping the smile and hands, looking down at your notebook and fiddling with a pen.

It was scary, that one night, finding yourself unable to do anything against Bokuto as he took the last thing you had going for you away, so it was hard to even look at him sometimes. The only people on the team who didn’t worry or scare you as much anymore was Hinata, Iwaizumi, and Aran. Even then, Iwaizumi was the only one who checked up on you and made sure nobody was going too far. When he asked you how you were the day after, you were still processing the night and lied, telling him nothing bad has happened yet. He smiled and told you to tell him if anything does happen, he’d be happy to set someone straight. As you sit on the bench, you wonder if he’d be upset at you for lying about anything bad happening, even if you were just startled when you told him.

The whistle from the coach signaled a break, which usually meant you spent 15 minutes on your knees in the bathroom. Sighing, you clicked your pen and closed the notebook, setting them down as the coach told everyone to take a break and what he’d focus on continuing after the break. When he waved them off, Atsumu was almost quick enough to get to you first, but Bokuto had clasped his hands in yours before Atsumu could say a word.

“Bokkun, you’re always spendin’ time with her on your breaks! Give the rest of us a chance,” he huffed, a bit miffed. You couldn’t blame him, seeing as Bokuto has taken Atsumu’s place in monopolizing you. There hadn’t been any fights like that one day, Bokuto in too much of a good mood to bother with Atsumu.

“Hm, maybe it’s just cause she likes me. Don’t you, manager?” He smiles, one that you’d find comfort in if the situation was different. A shaky smile paints on your lips, a shallow nod as Bokuto’s eyes practically shine. He says nothing more to his teammates as he briskly walks out of the gym. This time, instead of going into the men’s restroom, he goes into the women’s.

“Bokuto, what are you doing? We don’t usually come in here,” you ask, finding your nerves coming back as he drags you in. There’s a bit of a walking distance between the two restrooms and you’re the only one using the women’s restroom, so it’s hardly used and practically empty all the time.

“Didn’t want anyone to accidentally get a glimpse of my pretty manager’s pussy, that’s all,” he hums, deciding to push you up against the wall at that moment. Quickly realizing what he means, you tell him that you shouldn’t do that right now, promising to let him do what he wants later, but he’s ignoring you as he unzips the jacket. “I just need a taste to continue to my game, don’t worry, baby. Your pretty mouth gets a break,”

“Bokuto, I won’t be able to walk straight afterwards, everyone’ll know!” You harshly whisper, worried about the looks you’ll get. Bokuto simply licks his lips as you say that, getting on his knees as he tugs down your pants. The sweatpants pooled around your ankles and your panties followed soon after, Bokuto pressing a kiss to your bare knee as he hiked up your leg, keeping it bent. With the position, you felt goosebumps on your skin as the air of the room hit your exposed pussy, arms crossing over your chest as a shiver ran up your spine. Bokuto doesn’t seem to mind, his lips leaving a trail on your inner thigh until they’re pressing a kiss on your folds.

He doesn’t seem to mind the lack of wetness, diving between your folds with his tongue as he sucks on your clit. It’s pleasureful, but your worries keep you silent as you let him do what he wants to do. You know he’ll be unsatisfied until you finish, which means you have a time limit, making your anxiety worse. While you’re trying to calm your nerves and focus on the pleasure, Bokuto is blissfully stroking your pussy with his tongue and pushing it into your cunt, gathering juices on the tip. He’s eagerly slurping, a few nibbles on your clit that has your body jerking, making your legs weak as you put a hand in his hair, not sure whether to pull him away or push him closer.

Sensing you want him closer, he lets out a moan that vibrates against your skin, adding to the pleasure as you try to not fall. It eventually fails as he gives you one long lick, swirling his tongue around your clit as your knee buckles. He’s quick, grabbing your thighs so you don’t fall and puts them on his shoulders, keeping his face deep in your pussy to keep you pressed against the wall. A few moans are let loose from your lips as your back arches, eyes shut as he pushes two fingers into your cunt, lips and tongue focusing on your clit. He keeps this up until you’re letting out a scream, muffling it with your hand as you whole body twitches with the force of your orgasm. He doesn’t leave you, slurping up any excess as he moans in delight, giving your clit a few kisses in thanks as he does.

Nobody has come to get you yet, so you’re glad he managed to make you finish so quickly, but your worries come back when he wraps your legs around his waist, keeping you pressed against the tile as he gives you a long and deep kiss, moaning into your mouth as his hand finds itself trailing to between your legs once more. “I want more,” he groans, eyes lidded as he keeps his face close to yours.

“No, Bokuto, not here,” you whisper, “not now.”

He goes to say something else, his hands moving to his practice shorts as he hooks his thumb in the hem of them, but is cut off by Hinata shouting for him. “Bokuto-san! [Y/N]! Break’s over!”

“Fuck,” Bokuto swears, releasing his shorts as he drops your legs. He’s still hesitant, noticeable in how he gently puts on your panties and longfully looks at them as he pushes them up. You end up putting your pants back on yourself, having to pull them on over your shoes, while Bokuto watches, still close. Once fully on, he hugs you close and gives you another kiss, one hand on your back as the other grabs a fistful of your ass. “We’ll continue this later, hm?” He hums, not waiting for your answer before he goes to leave. You may be worried of others knowing, but his goal is to make sure everyone knows he’s getting special care from you.

Hinata seems surprised when Bokuto leaves the women’s restroom, but not too surprised when you’re following after him. Even with wobbly legs, you’re able to act as if everything’s normal as you wave off any concerns, telling him you’re fine. Bokuto seems to hang back a bit, waiting for you to follow him. Hinata also notices this, but just walks back to the gym without mentioning anything. Once you’re walking in front of him, Bokuto follows, his smile never leaving his face.

By the time the next whistle blows, signaling it’s dinner time and the boys need to go wash up, your legs have stopped their wobbliness. Bokuto made sure to ask for lots of water and an extra towel, making sure you had to walk in front of everyone and he made sure to smile your way every time you did so, chest puffed with pride. Your worries were probably useless, knowing he’d have bragged about it if anyone asked him questions. Even when you got your stuff and had to bend over, grabbing the bucket of water bottles, Bokuto couldn’t help but pat your ass as he walked by. Bearing with it, you pretended like nothing happened when you went to leave, managing to keep a calm facade. Not only had you made sure you wouldn’t have your back facing them when you bent down, but you were out of the way, so Bokuto deliberately went to you just to grope you. It’s nothing you shouldn’t expect, but it’s still embarrassing and very much out of your comfort zone.

Bokuto doesn’t call for you that night, as you spend your time before bed in Aran’s room. He’s been one of the few to not ask for favors as much, but you felt he needed something after a stressful day of dealing with a whining Atsumu. Not only do you spend time with Aran, who happens to be respectful of your comfort levels, but you also get to be occupied when Bokuto goes looking to ‘continue’ what he started that afternoon. Bokuto also is one of the more well-endowed members of the team, but Aran is right up there with him. After slurping up any extra cum from his cock, you give his tip a kiss as he thanks you.

“Whenever you need me,” you chirp, waving goodbye with a smile. You sigh heavily once leaving the room, but find yourself holding your breath as you pass by Bokuto’s room. The sound of snoring calms your nerves, seeing he couldn’t wait for you to be done. Tooting your own horn, you gave Aran’s one of the best blowjobs you could give as long as it drew it out as long as you could. With a brisk and silent walk into your room, you finally felt yourself fully relax once you were inside. Exhausted from the day, you simply undressed and put on a large t-shirt, deciding to shower in the morning when you weren’t as tired.

As you took too long to finish up with Aran, Bokuto ended up falling asleep while waiting for the moans and obscene noises to cease from the room. The rooms weren’t soundproof, which taught him that Sakusa was a heavy sleeper since he didn’t hear the bed creaking that one night, but that means he could hear Aran’s low moans as you went down on him in the next room. Bokuto found himself getting turned on from the noises, his mind running laps as he imagined what you could possibly be doing to get Aran to let loose with his moans, but after a quick handjob to the noises, he felt exhausted to wait anymore. However, that was before most people were asleep, right after dinner. Too early for him, usually, so he ends up waking up to a dark room and quick check on his phone shows it’s only a little past midnight, making him groan.

He can’t stop thinking about the noises, though. Just a wet dream of you servicing his cock and making him sound like that had his cock springing up once again, another groan as he accidentally rubbed it against the mattress when he rolled over. It may be late, but surely you wouldn’t mind if he wanted to get another taste. If you’re up, he’ll have to ask you for some lip service instead, but his hopes are dashed when he sees your light is off. Hoping it’s just the light, he goes to open your door and is surprised to find it unlocked, seeing as you usually lock it when you go to bed. Opening the door, sure enough, you’re asleep, not even under the covers as you sleep so peacefully.

Still as vulnerable and helpless as ever, he can’t help but grin as he shuts the door, eager to take advantage. You don’t even move as he kneels on your bed, crawling over your body as you stay still. A couple of noises leave your lips as he finds his hands massaging the flesh of your thighs and ass, testing your tolerance. He gets a movement, you putting your face into the pillow a bit more as you push your weight to the other side. Finding himself to be lucky, he slides two fingers underneath the panties, pushing them into your cunt as he’s surprised to find you’re quite wet. Thinking you might be having a dream of him as he’s had one of you, his cock twitches as he pulls off your panties. He doesn’t want to rip them off, hoping he can pull them back up you after he’s filled you up, so he’s gentle as he tugs them down your legs.

Even when he pulls your ass into the air by your waist, you don’t wake up. Your legs aren’t very good at keeping you up, but he manages to line his cock with your entrance, using his own body to keep yours stable. Without you squirming or screaming, he finds it a bit lackluster when he bottoms out easily. You don’t struggle against him, your walls parting easily for his cock. Leaning over you, he grabs fistfuls of your breasts, pushing your loose shirt all the way up as he starts a slow pace. He may have wanted you asleep, but he misses the fire you have when you’re awake.

A deep groan in your ear as he feels you squeeze his cock, sucking him back in as he rocks himself out of you. A more harsh thrust has you gasping, fingers grasping at the pillow beneath them and a moan spilling from your lips. Soon after, your eyes are fluttering open as you try to understand what’s going on. The thrusts in and out of your cunt have you going on alert, wide eyes searching behind you to find Bokuto, smiling down at you. “Nice of you to wake up,”

“Bok— Bokuto?” You sleepily reply, brain processing everything. Each drag of his cock in your walls had you clenching around him and a moan escaping your throat. “What are you doing?”

“I missed you after you spent some time with Aran. It sounded like so much fun, I had a dream about you so I came to see you. You sounded like you were enjoying it, so I didn’t see a reason to stop.” He can feel you squeezing him more, your body rigid as you squirm under him, it’s much better than just fucking your limp body. It’s like you’re trying to push him out as if your cunt wasn’t sucking him in before your eyes opened. “Just gotta let me fill you up, okay?”

“No, no, stop!” You shake off the sleepiness, trying to squirm away but he just pushes your head into the pillows, using his other hand to keep your hips still. With your mouth against the pillows, you can’t tell him to stop and you can’t even try to get him to take his cock out of you, so you just have to lay there and take it as your nails dig into his arm and wrist.

“Feel so fucking good,” he groans picking up his pace as he slaps his hips against your ass. “All mine,” he mumbles, barely audible over his mixture of moans and groans. He doesn’t bother trying to keep quiet, even making sure the bed frame hits the wall with each harsh thrust. Screwing your eyes shut, you try to block everything out until you hear the door creak open. Bokuto, however, never ceases in his pace.

“Bokuto-san? Wha— Why are you in here?” Hinata’s voice whispers. It’s loud enough for you both to hear it, even over the squelching noises. “I didn’t—”

“Fucking our cute manager, what else?” Bokuto replies, cocky as ever. It’s like he’s showing off a prize, a special treat he got. Squirming some more, hoping maybe Hinata will see your dilemma, you manage to free your face from the fabric and look towards Hinata. There’s a blush coating his cheeks as his eyes are trained on where Bokuto’s hips are slamming into you, mesmerized by the way your cunt accepts his cock. When his eyes move to you, he just stares at you, probably noticing the tears on your cheeks. “Pretty, ain’t she?”

“Help,” you whisper, hoping Hinata can see your lips. “Hinata, please,” you manage to get out, although your voice is hoarse. He doesn’t really move, but you try to move your hand to reach out to him, but Bokuto seems to sense what you’re about to do. Using his hand to lift up your head, your throat is strained so you can hardly say anything and your hands fly to his arm, digging your nails into them.

“I see you looking, Hinata,” Bokuto says, pushing two of his fingers into your mouth and pressing them against your tongue to keep your voice muffled as you try to scream. “It’s a good scene, isn’t it?”

“N-No, I-” he stutters, but then you manage to watch as his hand moves to his sleeping shorts, covering his growing erection. Knowing he’s getting turned on by Bokuto fucking you, your hopes of help are dashed. Does he know you don’t want this? He should, Hinata knows you better than most — you would’ve told him about the decision to sleep around rather than just give blowjobs.

“Enjoying the show a bit? Lock the door and I’ll let you get a closer look,” Bokuto then says, a predatory grin on his face as he stares at Hinata. There’s a beat and a small swell of hope, but then Hinata’s moving to lock the door. The resounding click feels like it echoes in the room, then you notice Bokuto’s thrusts have slowed down until they’re hardly noticeable. He’s then pulling out of you, flipping you over so your back is to the mattress and crooking his finger to bring Hinata closer. You think he’s gonna have Hinata enter you as well, but instead he just tells him to sit back and watch.

Bokuto swiftly pushes back into you, hand covering your mouth as you scream. “God, I missed that. You’re so compliant when you’re asleep,” he groans, grinning when tears form in your eyes again and your nails dig into his arm once more. You can hardly do any damage, his body rock hard as he keeps you pinned down as his hips slam against yours. It’s powerful, heard each time and the sloppy wet noises of your slick coating his cock with each thrust make your stomach churn.

Hinata watches, eyes hardly leaving your form as he drinks up each movement. Bokuto makes sure to adjust your leg, pushing it to your shoulder so Hinata has more room to look. You can’t bear to look at Hinata, feeling sick when you watch him pull down his shorts, freeing his hard cock as he jacks himself off. He’s getting off of the way your cunt eagerly accepts Bokuto’s cock, especially the sticky wetness that coats the shaft each time he pulls out. Each thrust Bokuto gives to you, Hinata’s matching the pace with his hand and squeezing down on his cock each time Bokuto groans, swearing.

When Bokuto takes his thumb and starts rubbing against your clit, your legs tighten as your back arches, your mouth free as you freely let out a mixture of a groan and a mewl, elbows digging into the mattress as you do. A dark chuckle from Bokuto brings you down from the temporary high. “So much fight, yet easily giving up in the end,” he says, flicking your little bud with his thumb so you can’t properly reply. Soon enough, your walls are constructing around his cock as you grit your teeth, drool spilling from the corner of your mouth, legs shaking as you orgasm.

Bokuto groans, sighing as he pulls his cock out of your cunt, making sure to show Hinata the sheen on it, all of your cum. It’s short-lived, as Bokuto’s pushing back into you and chasing his own end now. You don’t get the small pleasure of being uncaged, feeling Bokuto’s weight on you before you can process anything and his relentless harsh pace begins again, low moans in your ear as he keeps your legs bent and up towards your torso. His heavy balls slap against your ass as he coats your pussy and ass in your own slick, you feeling the fluid dripping down your ass. Before Bokuto finishes, you hear Hinata let out a moan, a strangled moan, as if he’s holding back, but then Bokuto’s pumping you full of his cum as he fists the sheets under him. A few lazy thrusts and then he’s pulling out, watching his cum ooze from your stretched cunt.

Bokuto then spreads your legs, signaling Hinata closer as he continues to fist his cock. He looks like he’s about to explode, but he gets closer to you as his hand slows. Bokuto brings him a little closer, guiding his cock against your sloppy pussy and patting it against you, the final touch before Hinata’s cum is splashing against your stomach and chest, some getting on your shirt. All you do is gasp, dipping some fingers into the gunk as Hinata finishes, with the help of Bokuto using his own cum as lube.

“It— It looked so good, I’m sorry,” Hinata pants out, trying to clean the excess cum off his cock. Bokuto seems to be obsessed with pushing his own cum back into you as you just lay back, unsure of what to do. “Can I.. Can I have a taste?”

“Wait, no,” you try to stop him, but Bokuto’s encouraging him, moving behind you as he keeps your legs spread for Hinata. Hinata, like Bokuto had earlier in the day, gets on his knees before your dripping pussy and laps up the cum oozing from it. You’re biting on your lip, hands finding themselves on Bokuto’s arms as you twitch. Still sensitive, you can only sit there as Hinata cleans you up with his tongue.

Seemingly not minding the taste, he hums in satisfaction as he licks and slurps up the creamy liquid, licking his lips even. With a pat on your thighs, Bokuto tells Hinata to put his hands against them and he does, leaving Bokuto’s hands free. He decides to play with your breasts, rubbing your nipples between his fingers pulling them, getting your back arching. Hinata may not seem as strong as Bokuto, but he keeps a firm grip on your thighs and keeps your legs from closing. Once he’s slurped up most of the cum, he pushes his face all the way into your pussy, tongue flicking in and out of your cunt and as whine, squirming again at the feeling.

Bokuto coats two of his fingers in his own spit, rubbing the saliva against your nipple before playing with it again. His other hand moves down to rub at your clit, getting you clenching around Hinata’s tongue before he goes back to slurping and gentle sucks. With Bokuto rubbing your clit, Hinata finds his lips trailing lower to focus on your cunt, until his tongue grazes over your ass. Jolting with a yelp, you attempt to move away. “Oh, seems like she enjoyed that. Do it again, Hinata.” Hinata does exactly that, tongue tracing around your puckered hole as you whine and squirm.

“Wait, no, not there, please,” you beg, getting Hinata to hesitate. Unlike Bokuto, who would continue regardless. A short hesitance, then Hinata’s back to tracing his tongue around and over. He never pushes it in, thankfully, but his nose does tend to nudge your cunt as he moves his tongue and lips around your other entrance. That, combined with Bokuto’s onslaught on your nipple and clit, has you trying to close your legs as you twitch, a groan as your juices splash against Hinata’s face, combined with some of Bokuto’s cum. He doesn’t seem to mind, lapping it all up and cleaning it off the rest of his face. When Hinata stands up, he turns pink when he sees how hard he is, hand grabbing his cock and giving it a few pumps. You think he’s gonna just coat your inner thighs in his cum, but Bokuto has other plans.

“I’m sure she wouldn’t mind if you gave her a little creampie, would she?” He hums, hand grasping your chin a bit harshly. “I’ll even tell you her sweet spots, what do you think?”

When Hinata furiously nods his head, letting Bokuto guide his cock into your cunt, you whine from the sensitivity and from annoyance. Hinata keeps his hands firmly on your thighs as he thrusts into you, making sure to drag his cock against your walls, while Bokuto brings your hand to his cock, eager to have you servicing him somehow. When tears stream down your cheeks, Bokuto simply wipes them away with his finger, but Hinata leans closer to lick them away, his tongue sticky from your cum coating it.

“Hinata, stop,” you whine, trying one last time. This time, Bokuto doesn’t interfere, but it’s still useless.

“I always expected to take your virginity, you know? I was your friend first,” he rambled off, never looking away from how you sucked in his cock. “I like you, a lot, so I’m gonna fill you up with my cum, okay?”

Whining doesn’t deter either of them and squirming just means they hold you down tighter, rendering you completely helpless against them.

𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐤𝐲𝐮𝐮 𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐝 - 𝐤𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐧𝐨 𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧

disclaimer : i am not japanese, i only study it in college so please feel free to correct me if i made any mistake !

⇀ hinata shōyō - 日向翔陽

日向 : the first kanji is 日 (hi), meaning sun, day, light of the sun, which perfectly fits hinata’s personality, obviously

the second kanji is 向 (nata) and has quite a few meanings depending on the context, such as : facing, beyond, confront, defy or approach. overall i think this kanji is perfect to illustrate hinata’s habit to always move forward no matter what stands in front of him

翔陽 : the kanji 翔 (shō) is literally perfect for hinata since it means soar, fly. however, it is different from the kanji we see on karasuno’s banner which is 飛. i’ve done some researches and it seems like 飛 is used to express flying, fluttering or scattering while 翔 is used for things that are currently in flight.

the second kanji, 陽 (yō) has a similar meaning to 日, they both mean sun and overall express a feeling of positivity

⇀ kageyama tobio - 影山飛雄

影山 : the first kanji 影 (kage) means shadow, silhouette, phantom. in other terms, it’s almost like the opposite of the sun that is so predominant in hinata’s name. i really like that 影 translates to “shadow” because, when you come to think of it, a shadow could not exist without sunlight (this is so wholesome bye)

the second kanji is 山, which is very common in japanese surnames and means “mountain”. my analysis is that mountains are one of the closest things to the sun, and the higher you stand on the mountain, the bigger the sun. it could be a great metaphor, meaning that tobio’s growth is a way of making hinata shine even brighter. another explanation is that kageyama literally means “the shadow of the mountain”

飛雄 : i mentioned it before but the kanji on karasuno’s banner is 飛, and it’s also the first kanji of kageyama’s first name. so yeah, i love this. it means that shōyō and tobio’s kanjis both mean the same thing, which is very interesting considering that their family names are so different

the second kanji is basically an ego boost from kageyama’s parents. 雄 means “masculine, hero, leader, superiority, excellence”, it’s like his king status follows him to his first name, like he was destined to be do great things

⇀ tsukishima kei - 月島蛍

月島 : you guys might know this already but the first kanji of tsukki’s name (tsuki) means “moon” (how bizarre). in zen buddhism, which is a part of japanese religions and beliefs, the moon is a symbol of enlightenment and truth : sounds perfect for this clever mr. salty.

the other kanji, 島 (shima) means “island”, which does not seem to have a direct link with tsukki. but trust me when i tell you you won’t be disappointed by the meaning of his first name

蛍 : i had trouble believing at first but the tsukki’s first name means “lightning bug, butterfly”. and i LOVE it. first of all because tsukki’s so desperately trying to be a lone wolf while his name is literally “butterfly”. second of all, i think that it’s a subtle way of expressing that tsukki thrives in the shadow, like a lightning bug. which is another clue telling us that hinata and him are opposite. my analysis is that the sun (aka hinata) is a source of light for everyone, while the moon (aka tsukki) is a source of light for much fewer people (hello yamaguchi), and, if we go even further, a lightning bug basically only produces light for itself which echoes tsukishima’s individualism

⇀ yamaguchi tadashi - 山口忠

山口 : you already know it if you’ve read kags part, 山 means mountain. and if my reasoning applied for kageyama and hinata, it most definitely applies for yamaguchi and tsukki as well. if yamaguchi symbolizes the mountain, then he is one of the few privileged that are allowed to be so close to the moon, who is usually so solitary.

the kanji 口 means “mouth”. like the “shima” in tsukishima, it does not symbolizes anything relevant to the character, the family name 山口 is just very popular in japan

忠 : in my opinion, this is the most appropriate kanji for yamaguchi’s first name. it means “loyalty, fidelity, faithfulness”. do i have to say more ? i don’t think so.

⇀ nishinoya yū - 西谷夕

西谷 : the first kanji is 西 (nishi) and means « west ». the second is 谷 (noya), meaning valley. nothing spectacular, right ? JUST WAIT (many of you guys probably know where i’m getting at)

夕 : noya’s first name, 夕 (yū) means evening. WAIT A BIT MORE

⇀ azumane asahi - 東峰旭

東峰 : ok so i’m typing really fast because i think what furudate did is amazing : the kanjis of asahi’s last name are 東 which means « east » and 峰 which means « valley », « peak ». HOW GREAT IS THAT ? it’s literally written in their names that noya and asahi complement each other. also, choosing to name the ace with a kanji meaning « peak » is very clever. and as you can guess, their first names are also genius :

旭 : the kanji 旭 (asahi) means rising sun (literally, asa means morning and is written 朝, and hi means sun, written 日). but i think there’s more than a link between noya and asahi’s names. indeed, hinata said to asahi in season 1 that he really wanted to become an ace. and both characters have the kanji 日 somewhere in their name. it’s like they both aim so high (literally and figuratively) that the comparison with the sun is inevitable

⇀ tanaka ryūnosuke - 田中龍之助

田中 : this last name is one of the most popular in japan, and i don’t think it symbolizes anything particular for the character. but his name…

龍之助 : the first kanji is 龍 (ryū) and means « dragon, imperial ». obviously it fits really well tanaka’s fiery temperament. the second kanji is 之 (no) and it means « of, this » ; from what i read, it’s basically the kanji equivalent of の, which can be considered an equivalent of the « ’s » in english. and the third kanji, 助 (suke) means « help, rescue, assist ». so tanaka’s name is « the dragon that rescues » and i think it fits him so well ! it might be a reference to his protective behavior towards kiyoko. so basically, tanaka attacks to protect

⇀ sawamura daichi - 澤村大地

澤村 : i’ll admit it, daichi’s last name is definitely not the most stylish. the first kanji (sawa) means « swamp » and the second kanji (mura) means « town, village ». luckily, his first name is a bit more symbolic :

大地 : the first kanji, 大 (dai), means « large, big » and the second kanji is 地, meaning « ground, earth ». when the two of them are put together, it creates the noun 大地 which can be translated as « solid earth » which is obviously, very appropriated for our captain

⇀ sugawara kōshi - 菅原孝支

菅原 : sugawara is a japanese family name that means « sedge field », unless i’m forgetting something about suga i don’t think that it symbolizes something specific about him

孝支 : the first kanji 孝 (kō) means « filial piety, child’s respect », so according to his name, suga is a respectful child, which honestly does not surprise anyone. the second kanji is 支 (shi) means « support, branch, sustain ». like daichi, suga’s first name alludes to something strong on which others can rely for support. i mean, they’re not captain and vice-captain for nothing

⇀ ennoshita chikara - 縁下力

縁下 : ok i really like ennoshita’s name. the first kanji is 縁 (en) and means « affinity, relation, connection », which seems to be a reference to ennoshita being the one that, first of all, brings the second years together and also the one that will « connect » with daichi’s status of captain when the third years will be gone. it’s like he’s the bridge between the third years and the upperclassmen.

the second kanji is 下 (shita) which means « below, down, low, inferior ». my guess is that furudate either wanted to represent ennoshita’s tendency to doubt himself or simply the fact that ennoshita is right below daichi when it comes to the position of captain. like if there was a pyramid, daichi would be at the top and ennoshita would be right below

力 : the kanji of his first name means « power, strength, bear up » and i love that it compensates for the meaning of the second kanji of his family name. i like to picture that daichi is the « solid ground » as we’ve seen before while ennoshita is still underground but nonetheless really strong. moreover, if you combine daichi’s last kanji 地 and ennoshita’s 力, it creates the word 地力 (jiriki) which means « one’s own potential, real ability »

⇀ ukai keishin - 烏養繋心

UKAI’S NAME IS SO GREAT JUST WAIT I’LL SHOW YOU

烏養 (keep in mind that this is the last name so everything i’m saying here also applies to ikkei ukai) : you might have already recognized it but the first kanji is 烏 which can be read as « u » or « karasu ». see my point ? exactly. ukai literally shares a part of his name with karasuno, and this kanji means « crow, raven » (obviously)

the second kanji is 養 and means « foster, bring up, rear, develop, nurture » : such a great choice for this lovely coach, isn’t it ? but that’s not it :

繋心 : the first kanji is 繋 which means « tie, fasten, chain, connect », here again we are reminded that ukai is the one that brings the team together. also, he shares this kanji with his grandfather whose name is 一繋 (the first kanji means « one » so we can suppose that ikkei ukai was « the first to tie the team together ») . the second kanji is 心 which means « heart, mind, spirit ». i see this as a way of expressing that ukai is « the heart and mind of the team » thanks to his coach status

i rly rly enjoyed making this post because it was a way for me to study and improve my japanese so i hope you liked it! i will make another post with other names because there’s just so much to say about them

keep in mind that these are just my personal theories and analysis, i might be wrong and honestly i was too lazy to look it up on google to see if i was right

Tall Ass | Hinata Shōyō x Tsukishima Kei

my anime/manga masterlist

———

"Back off, short stack. I already told you I'm not helping you study again."

Hinata Shōyō, number ten of the Karasuno High School Volleyball Team, was once again begging his teammate, Tsukishima Kei, for help studying to get his grades back up so Hinata could go on the next overnight practice camp with the rest of the boys volleyball team. And Tsukishima, who had told Hinata he wouldn't be dragged into this mess again since the first time they'd been in this predicament, was telling Hinata to, to put it simply, 'fuck off'.

"I'm not short! You- you tall ass!"

Hinata, however, was not having it.

Tsukishima's eyes widened for a split second as he registered what Shoyo had just said to him; The sunshine boy had never retaliated like that before.

"Really?" Kei quickly composed himself. "You think calling me names will raise the chance of me helping you? As if."

"Tsukki has a point, Hinata-Kun." Yamaguchi Tadashi, Kei's childhood best friend spoke up, having been witness to the whole scene.

Hinata only pouted.

"But he keeps calling me names! So it's only fair!" The orange haired boy defended himself before pleading to Kei once more. "Please, Tsukishima-Kun, please?" A pause; then grin. "I'll cover your next clean up duty!"

Kei raised an eyebrow. "Really now?" Shoyo nodded in response, the only thought on his mind being to raise his grades.

"Fine." And with that, Tsukishima turned and walked away. "My house, after practice."

———

"Tsukishima-Kun! Yamaguchi-Kun!"

It was now the end of the day, sun setting and all, and volleyball practice had ended.

Turning towards the frantic voice, the two fore mentioned boys saw none other than Shoyo running their way at full speed; Kei and Tadashi stepped to the side just in time to avoid being ran into. And Hinata? Yeah, he face planted into the wall and landed on his ass.

"Heh."

"Oh my god! Hinata-Kun, are you okay?!"

Shoyo jumped up, cheeks reddened with embarrassment (his lower cheeks red from pain); he rubbed his head with a wince before smiling brightly. "I'm good! Let's go!"

The three left the gymnasium, proceeding off of school property.

"Are you sure you're okay, Hinata-Kun?" Tadashi worried. "That looked like it hurt! And you're face is still red!"

Shoyo flashed a smile to his friend and teammate. "I'm okay, Yamaguchi-Kun, really! I promise!"

"Shortie will be fine, he does idiotic things like that all the time."

"Tsukki!" Tadashi held back a laugh.

"I do not!" Hinata. "Tall ass."

The trio fell into a tolerable silence after that, not speaking again until Tadashi had split off from the other two.

"You're not staying over this weekend?" Tsukishima raised an eyebrow at his friend; they more often than not spent the weekends together.

"No," Yamaguchi scratched the back of his neck, "have family coming over. Sorry, Tsukki."

"It's alright. Bye, Yama." Tsukishima waved to Tadashi as he walked off, Shoyo doing the same. "Byebye, Yamaguchi-Kun!"

Tadashi waved back with a small 'goodbye' of his own.

The rest of the walk to the blonds house was uneventful, Kei staying relatively quiet while Shoyo studied the route they took; he'd never walked this way before.

Upon arriving at the Tsukishima household, the two teenage boys walked in and took off their shoes, setting them by the front door.

"Kei? Is that you, baby?" A feminine voice called from the kitchen, to which Tsukishima replied: "Yeah, mom, it's me. I have someone over, is that okay?"

"Of course, dear! Is it Tadashi?"

"No, just-" Tsukshima's mother ran to the foyer. "someone from volleyball..."

"Oh my, hello there!" The woman took Hinata's hand into her own, gently shaking their hands. "I'm Kei's mom, who might you be?"

Shoyo grinned at the brunette. "I'm Hinata Shoyo, Mrs. Tsukishima!"

"Ms.." Kei grunted, eyes rolling.

"Oh, sorry, ma'am!" Hinata rubbed the back of his neck. Kei's mother only smiled sweetly. "That's alright, dear."

Kei cleared his throat. "We'll be in my room studying. Love you, mom."

"Aw, I love you too, sweetie!" A pause. "Oh! Dinner will be ready shortly, okay?"

"Okay. Thanks, mom." Tsukishima kissed his mother on the cheek before turning away, walking to his room; Shoyo followed after bowing politely to Ms. Tsukishima, smiling brightly.

"Your mom seems nice."

Kei didn't respond as he closed his bedroom door, walking over to his desk and sitting down in his rolly chair. The blond pulled his math notes out of his backpack.

"Are you just going to stand there?" A small squeak, followed by the sound of a body flopping onto his bed was Shoyo's response.

———

"...and that's how you solve for x, y, and z. Understand, short stack?"

Hinata nodded at the taller teen, beaming. "Mhm! Thank you so much, Tsukki!"

"Tch." Kei ignored the blush spreading across his pale cheeks.

A knock echoed throughout Kei's bedroom.

"Sweetie? It's getting late, is Hinata staying the night?" Tsukishima's mother opened the door, peeking her head in. "If so, please make sure he checks in with his parents."

Kei looked towards Shoyo, who's eyes widened as he checks his phone for the time. 11:57.

"Oh crap-! I'm so sorry! I'll be leaving on now, thank you so much for having me!" Hinata began frantically cramming his papers, pens, and pencils back into backpack.

Ms. Tsukishima laughed. "Oh, that's quite alright, dear! You're welcome to stay the night, though. I'd hate to make you go home in the dark."

"Really?" Hinata looked between Tsukishima and his mother. "Are you sure?"

"Positive!"

"Whatever."

"Thank you, ma'am!" Shoyo grinned. Kei's mom smiled back, reminding Hinata to call to his house before leaving the room.

After calling his mother and getting the okay to spend the night at the Tsukishima residence, Shoyo looked towards his teammate- friend?- and beamed; Kei blankly stared back.

"What?"

"I haven't had a sleepover is sooo long!" Hinata emphasized the 'o' is 'so', expanding on the vowel. "This is gonna be so much fun!"

Kei deadpanned at the shorter with a small "tsk".

Shoyo paid him no mind, standing up from Tsukishima's bed with a bubbly bounce. The small male grabbed his backpack and put it next to the blonds that sat up against his desk. Then, with a sudden realization, Shoyo froze; a perplexed look dawned his freckled face.

"I don't have anything to sleep in."

Kei stifled a laugh.

———

"Thanks again, Tsukki!"

Said male refused the blush threatening to cover his cheeks once again when Hinata reentered his room; the orange haired male was currently wearing one of Tsukishima's shirt, that hung off the side of his left shoulder, exposing his collarbone as the piece of white fabric was sizes too big for him. Not only that, but Hinata was also wearing a pair of the blonds black basketball shorts, the string tied into a tight knot to keep them from falling, causing the light, airy fabric to shape Shoyo's ass perfectly.

"...Don't call me that, short stack."

Choosing to ignore Tsukishima's name calling for once, Hinata threw himself onto the others bed with a small giggle. "Your beds comfy!"

"I know." Kei rolled his eyes. "Move over."

The two had already discussed sleeping arrangements, agreeing to both sleep in Kei's bed. Well, not exactly, as Ms. Tsukishima came to check on the two boys and glared at her beloved son after hearing him telling Shoyo to sleep on the couch. Kei reluctantly listened to his mom; she could be scary when she wanted, despite being such a sweet and caring woman.

Shoyo obliged, scooting over to make room for the beds owner.

After turning off the lights, Tsukishima took off his glasses and set them on his desk. Then the teen made his way towards his bed and lifted up the covers, crawling under them; he lay on his side, back facing Hinata.

"Goodnight, Tsukishima-Kun!"

"Night."

The two fell asleep easily, unknowingly finding each other's presence rather comforting.

And, if Ms. Tsukishima we're to find the two boys cuddling when she checked on them the next morning? Well, that was her little secret.

— haikyuu first-years as boyfriends: hinata shōyō!

Genre: headcannons ! pure fluff, x gender neutral reader

Summary: shōyō hinata as the world’s best boyfriend. send TWEET

Warnings: none !!

W/C: 1,112 words

a/n: hi hi i back ! this is my first haikyuu post n there’s much more to come <3 anyway welcome to my hinata brainrot i seriously cannot express how much i adore this man <33 i’ll keep writing until i get the first years, and i’ll probably continue on with all of karasuno and other teams-- i just love them all so much :(

| yamaguchi tadashi | tsukishima kei | kageyama tobio |

-- hinata shōyō ♡

♡ lemme start by saying that... mr hinata shoyo is as dense as a box of rocks 😐

♡ in a cute way tho!!!

♡ you had been friends ever since you both started at karasuno, and since hinata is just a ball of sunshine, how could you not instantly become best friends??

♡ i mean come awn, you two INSTANTLY clicked. you brought him snacks during his practices, and eventually you know his top three favorite ones by heart. (you also brought some for the other first years— trying not to be super obvious about your crush on the little orange haired idiot)

♡ and because you stayed to watch his volleyball practices on several occasions, he instinctively looked over to the bench where you sat every time he did something impressive— even when you weren’t there

♡ he’d have the biggest, goofiest smile on his face when he screamed your name, “DID YOU SEE THAT!!”

♡ “yeah sho!! i’m sitting right here of course i did!!”

♡ that would be his biggest way of flirting— trying his best to do something that’ll impress you and then look over to you for your reaction

♡ and after the practices, he would offer to walk you home, even if he lived on the other side of town

♡ “you always come to stay and watch me play during practice— c’mon it’s the least i could do!!”

♡ and remember when i said shoyo is dense as a box of rocks?

♡ yeah

♡ he holds your hand while walking you home— and to him of course it’s him trying to hint at his feelings, but he assumes you believe it’s simply a platonic gesture

♡ ???? hinata???? earth to hinata???????

♡ honestly, hinata believes that everyone is a friend-- even if he’s outright in love with you, he genuinely does not know the difference between showing platonic and romantic love

♡ you have to flirt with him-- heavily-- to make sure he gets the message

♡ and honestly, it really isn’t that difficult. all you had to do was rest your palm on his cheek and compliment him and he went HEART EYES. he’s whipped now

♡ the way he asked you out was-- there’s no other explanation other than-- it was very hinata

♡ he was walking you home, and when you two reached the front door he simply said:

♡ “i have a question”

♡ “yeah? what’s wrong sho?”

♡ “would it be weird for us— like— our friendship if i liked you? like— if i like-like you?”

♡ you giggled a little and he went red as a beet

♡ “w-what’s funny? is it weird? i don’t want it to be weird i’m so sor-“

♡ “sho, i like-like you too. i tried to make it obvious, hun”

♡ he just kind of looked at you with a gaze that said “what?? you did??”

♡ “...would it be weird if i kissed you?”

♡ “youre such an idiot”

♡ and that was the story of shoyo hinata’s first kiss

♡ it wasn’t amazing, a messy clash of teeth and a strained smile against your lips, but oh my gosh the effort was there :(( he was so happy

♡ he gets better at it, don’t worry he wants to practice all the time ;)

♡ he steals a quick peck before every volleyball match— this man doesn’t care about who sees you two

♡ honestly, he loves PDA. he feels proud to have you as his significant other !! if you aren’t into PDA, of course he’ll respect it

♡ he just hopes you want to at least give him a hug before the match because ... you’re his good luck charm 🥺🥺

♡ hinata may be stupid sometimes, but he cares so so much

♡ if you’re sad, he’s the type to tell you stupid jokes and hold you until you stop. he’ll listen to you talk about why you were sad if you’re comfortable, but he always advises that you shouldn’t take any advice he gives you

♡ good call

♡ hinata also prefers outdoor dates-- but you hardly ever formally plan any dates, everything feels spontaneous and fun with him

♡ you’ll get a text from him at 10 a.m. asking if you’re available in the afternoon because he wants to take you out to the park

♡ you get used to it quickly, and if you want it to be more structured, all you have to do is take the lead and hinata will follow <3 baybee

♡ and, he’s the type of boyfriend to want to call you at night because:

♡ “well, you’re not sleeping over tonight and i’m so used to sleeping next to you i can’t do it without you anymore >:(!!”

♡ you take pictures of him sleeping because he looks so peaceful— and of course on the rare occasion where you fall asleep before him, he returns the favor

♡ his lock screen is a picture of you two on a picnic date, but his home screen is an embarrassing picture of you sleeping

♡ “SHO?? WHY IS THAT PICTURE YOUR HOMESCREEN??”

♡ “WHAAT?? you looked CUTE!!”

♡ “you are so lucky i love you.”

♡ “i know”

♡ his name for you in his phone my lil bub >:( !

♡ because he’s an a idiot

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~♡~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

iMessage from ‘sho ! <3’

sho ! <3

- babe!! are you here yet?

my lil bub >:( !

- i’m there! where are you?

sho ! <3

- under our tree!

shoyo was sat under a great oak tree. he brought you there on your first date, and it was incredibly obvious that it was his favorite spot to take you. whether it be under the stars or the clouds, and today was no different.

“babe!” he called out to you.

beneath him was a yellow picnic blanket, compete with a basket and a bouquet of flowers that obviously looked as if he picked them himself.

you strolled over, looking down at the haphazardly strewn flowers. it was bound with a random strand of twine, and you couldn’t tell if he had planned to go and pick flowers for you from the start or not.

he was adorable.

“oh!! yeah, i got these for you while i was waiting,” he picked them up with both hands, “i tried to get them all in your favorite color, i couldn’t find enough, though.” he rubbed the back of his neck, a goofy grin on his face.

you giggled, taking the bouquet and holding it close to your chest. “you’re the cutest person on the entire planet, hinata shoyo.”

“shut up,” his cheeks flushed an adorable rose and he gestured for you to sit next time him with a pat on the blanket. “that’s obviously you.”

a/n — okay but have y'all seen e2l hinata shōyō besides kagehina lmao because i haven't and thought it'd be interesting to try out. also wow i have never put so much effort into a work like this one (hopefully it reaches a lot of people and you can all find some joy in reading!)

❝ WATCH WHERE YOU'RE FUCKING GOING NEXT TIME, YOU ROTTEN BELL PEPPER. ❞

Hate was a strong word but the flaring anger in your heart and overwhelming urge to run into a wall whenever your eyes landed on that tangerine said otherwise. It wasn't that you went out of your way to dislike someone that has everyone wrapped around their finger. It just so happened that you had no tolerance for bullshit, and Hinata Shōyō pissed you off in every way possible.

It started on the first day of high school.

Walking beside Minari, a friend from middle school, the two of you were eager to leave the building. The idea of grabbing steamed buns had unraveled itself in your mind, and what better way to enjoy food than by sharing?

"Are you going to try out for any clubs?" Your elbow bumped against hers as you two walked the slowly emptying hallway. "I think I saw the girls soccer team holding tryouts soon."

Minari shrugged, but you could already see the thoughts pinging in her mind. "I might if I can."

See, the two of you had almost reached the staircase when it happened. Minari's long hair covered her view from time to time, so you were used to looking out for her while chastising the girl about the usefulness of a hairband. But what you didn't expect as you pulled the girl aside just as a gaggle of guys rushed by was the full strength of a short orange-haired boy catching you off guard and nearly sending you tumbling down the flight of stairs.

"I'm sorry! I - I didn't see you there!" He shouted, his hand coming out to latch instinctively onto your school uniform before you could be thrown back far. "And on the first day too... I'm so sorry! Please accept my apology."

You stared at the short boy standing before you looking positively green with anxiety and guilt. Minari was already calming him down with mentions of accepting his apology, but all you could focus on was the pounding beat of your heart and the tingling feeling in your legs from your near-fatal experience.

"Watch where you're fucking going next time, you rotten bell pepper," you muttered before pushing his fingers off your now wrinkled white shirt.

You had walked away first, Minari in tow, but not before catching the shine of his name tag, 'Hinata Shōyō,' and the wide-eyed stare on his face that sent shivers down your back.

From that day forward, every flash of orange around the school seemed to be followed by a glare on your end and a roll of eyes on his.

"You're in the way, pumpkin head." Your words cut through the chattering hallway and sliced at Hinata who in turn threw you a pointed look, something that all the First Year students knew by now was reserved for only you. "I'm trying to get to the library, but somebody's walking too slow. Aren't you supposed to be on the volleyball team?"

Hinata scoffed, but stepped aside to let you through. Dirty looks were all he had in his armory apparently as time after time after sending an insult or two his way, he held his tongue. You liked to think it was because he didn't have the proper brain cells to form a response, but sometimes you wondered if you were being too much.

Up ahead, Minari waved at you to hurry before all the seats at the library were taken. Shaking yourself of your thoughts, you walked over to her. Unbeknownst to you, while you shouldered your bag, your wallet tipped over and fell out at a certain somebody's feet.

Hinata picked up your ratty wallet, noticing it on the floor, and went to call out to you before catching himself. What did he care? Still, unable to ignore it, he pocketed your belonging making note to give it back to you later. Right now, he had a game to worry about.

Somehow you had ended up at the Karasuno vs. Aoba Johsai game during the Interhigh Preliminaries. Minari had dragged you up to the stands as discreetly as possible after convincing you that she wasn't feeling up to study. Considering she had her eyes set on a certain 5'10 blueberry, you were foolish enough to think that she'd wanted to take you some place fun.

Now as the two of you stared down at the game happening eagerly, you let out a sigh upon noticing Hinata. As if your day couldn't have gotten worse after misplacing your wallet, you were displeased to find that he was looking right back up at you with the same wide-eyed stare he had when you two had first met.

Shivers ran down your back almost as if on cue, and you tore your gaze away from him fully ready to leave the gymnasium and trudge back home. But had you turned away, you would have missed the freakish oddball combination execute their quick attack.

"Holy shit," you breathed. "What the fuck was that?"

Minari smirked. "Tobio-kun is a great setter, isn't he? Or were you too focused on Mr. Bell Pepper to notice."

You shot her a frosty look, pushing down the stuttering emotion starting to rise in your chest that most definitely did not feel like anger. "As if."

The game continued for what seemed like days but turned out to be hours at most ending at a score of 1:2 in Aoba Johsai's favor.

Deafening silence overtook your ears. Minari was quick to leave the stands, mumbling something about consoling the fallen setter while your eyes searched for some semblance of sunshine in Hinata's sullen ones.

Spotting his sunken expression, you felt yourself regret the hatred that had sparked for him for just a moment. A fleeting moment that buried itself in your heart, planting a seedling of growing doubt.

"Minari, we have to catch the bus back!" You called out to your friend as you joined her on the gymnasium floor.

She glanced your way, halting the conversation she had began with her Tobio-kun. "Two minutes, and then we can go. Please?"

You nodded despite feeling discomfort crawling up your spine at being surrounded now by those you didn't know. You settled by the door, checking your phone mindlessly to pass the short time only looking up when an outstretched hand came into view.

"You dropped this earlier." Hinata's words were short, sharp, and you were suddenly glad you had never been on the end of his scathing remarks. "On your way to the library," he continued.

"Oh," was all your malfunctioning mind could come up with as he took your open hand in his, placing your wallet gently in your palm. The warmth of his skin seemed pressed into your own even after he had started to stalk away.

Clearing your throat, you spoke before you could stop yourself. "You did well today. I - uh," you paused. What were you even saying? "I watched from the stands."

He offered you a soft smile, one that you realized could light the world aflame, before walking back to his awaiting team.

You placed your hand over your drumming heart, sedating the flustered feeling he had left behind with you, chanting in your mind over and over again that Hinata Shōyō was a menace and you had no plan to ever like him let alone fall for him.

But no one ever plans to fall in love.

The Karasuno Boys Volleyball Club seemed to practice non-stop funnily enough, rather motivated by their loss from months ago instead of despaired. Minari had become a regular face during practice as she cheered the boys on in an attempt to woo Kageyama still, and by fault, so had you.

"Y/N, Tangerine's on his way over here." Minari nudged you, stealing your attention from the workbook open in your lap.

You shrugged, trying to focus on anything other than your slowly rising heartbeat. "Why? Did the coach bench him for his subpar plays?"

"No, actually Tangerine wanted to give you something but he's currently reconsidering."

You looked up immediately, eyes narrowing upon noticing Hinata standing in front of you with a small smirk. "You're looking really fucking smug for a guy who still needs to work on his skills. Kageyama says you lack basic technique."

Hinata rolled his eyes at you. "You're being rude."

"It's because I don't like you," you answered smoothly. "So get back to practice before you lose any more volleyball brain cells."

He let out a small laugh. Turning away, for a moment you thought he'd actually leave as simple as that, but just before he took another step, he tossed something your way. It fell on top of your workbook, smacking against the thin pages, causing a couple of the boys to look your way while Hinata jogged back to the net.

Minari leaned in closer to you. "He got you—" She cocked her head in confusion. "A wallet?"

It was a deep shade of orange that almost made you laugh out in irony. Detailed with card slots and a latch with snapping buttons, the wallet was definitely an improvement from the one you had right now.

"That's sweet... right?" Minari questioned, watching your expression as you opened the wallet to reveal a note — scratchy handwriting on a scrap of notebook paper.

'thought your wallet looked ratty old. not in a mean way of course!!!!

— your favorite, Pumpkin Head Shōyō

ps. my sister picked out the color :p'

"Stupid fucking carrot," you whispered under your breath, feeling your cheeks grow warm at his message. "I don't need a new wallet."

Minari scoffed at your words, turning to face you completely and taking your hands in hers with seriousness. "Be honest with me." You stared at her blankly. "Be honest, and tell me if you actually hate Hinata as much as you say you do. Why don't you just drop the act? You two obviously like each other enough to be friends, so why keep this all up? Isn't it tiring?"

Her words echoed through the hallways of your mind minutes, hours, and days after. Sitting at your desk in school, on your walk home, lying in bed staring up at the ceiling, they were as loud as life itself.

You thumbed the straps of your bag while waiting for the bus. The sun was slowly dropping from the sky, setting on the horizon leaving you in a thoughtful orange haze.

You two obviously like each other enough to be friends, so why keep this all up? Isn't it tiring?

The weeks following were conflicting and chaotic. Exam season settled on Karasuno High School jolting the students and staff into a cloud of stress.

You spent your spare time at the library, eyes boring into material that just wouldn't stick while a certain rotten bell pepper took his seat next to you.

"I have to pass my finals or Sugawara senpai is going to nail me to a wall," Hinata explained, spreading his notebooks out on the desk and bumping his elbow against yours in the process. "You do well in your classes, right? Do you — " He looked abash. "D - Do you mind helping me?"

Against your better judgement, you nodded. Looking back now, you suppose that's where your odd friendship began.

Days on end, the two of you would stay behind to cycle through the material slowly building a tolerance of each other much to everyone's surprise.

"Do you still hate me?" The question came one night, the weekend before his exams.

Hinata looked at you from where he sat on the swings, kicking his feet at the sandy grounds. The two of you were at the park, cooling off after a long study session.

Your eyes fell to the can of convenience store coffee in your hands. The slight of the passing breeze drilled his question further in your mind.

"No, I don't think so," came your answer, words wobbly and unsure despite the thrum of your heart beating loudly against your chest and the warmth in your cheeks.

Silence filled the space between you two before Hinata finally spoke up again.

"Then do you like me?"

Your body felt lit aflame, mind jumping immediately to the way he made you feel things you hadn't much before. "As a friend," you decided after a moment of flustered emotions. "We're friends, I guess."

Hinata nodded thoughtfully. "Well, I like you." He took a deep breath. "As more than a friend, but if you feel that way then I'll wait for you. We have time."

His confession became lost among the flurry of thoughts and colliding emotions raging on inside you. Before you could say anything in response, Hinata got to his feet, shooting you that now familiar smile of his and offering you his hand.

The new year overwhelmed your senses like a storm of rain after a drought. Refreshed after the break, you returned to school with a new sense of purpose amplified by the motivation the new year always brings.

Hinata's confession had remained in your mind, pushed to the back by celebration but still bugging you every so often. The apricot haired boy had showed up, throwing ping pong balls (of all things) at your window to catch your attention over the break asking if you wanted to go grab something sweet with him. You promptly responded with a rejection, only to find yourself walking with him ten minutes later.

"How was your break?" Minari asked, bundled in a jacket, scarf, and hat. She joined you at your side, catching you on your walk from the bus stop to school.

You shrugged, pulling your puffy jacket closer to you. "It was okay. You?"

She smiled. "Hung out with Tobio-kun. We went for hot chocolate, and he taught me how to set." Her eyes seemed almost dazzling at the memory, and you laughed, pushing her lightly away.

"You and your Tobio-kun are positively gross," you said. "Absolutely—"

Your words were halted at the feeling of warm fabric settling around your neck and a known face popping up beside you with a proud smile.

"Stay warm. You can give it back to me later," Hinata said before jogging away to catch up with a pair of Second Year boys ahead.

Your hand came up to the green scarf around your neck, failing to form comprehensive sentences. Heart thundering, you ignored the funny looks others sent your way. Glancing at Minari, you caught her slipping giggles.

"What happened to Hinata Shōyō being a rotten bell pepper?"

"Shut up."

Lending you his scarf when days seemed too cold was just the beginning of it all. Days turned into weeks turned into months of Hinata pining after you and you—though obvious to everyone else—trying to decipher your feelings for him.

"Hey, I missed you," Hinata said to you lightly after you had agreed to drop something off for Kageyama on Minari's behalf. Quickly realizing the meaning of his words, however, Hinata corrected himself. "I mean—um, as in I m - missed you earlier. Like... like I didn't catch you today, you know?"

You tilted your head at him with endearment, a small smile playing across your lips at the sight of his blushing face. "Yeah, don't worry. I got it, sweet potato."

His flustered expression dropped. "You think I'm sweet?"

Your eyes widened, stuttering to form a response and correct yourself out of this situation you had suddenly been thrusted in. Luckily, Kageyama came to your rescue before you could embarrass yourself.

"Hinata, boke, stop flirting with Y/N!" The tall blueberry haired boy towered over Hinata with a menacing glare and a scoff. Kageyama turned to you with a blank look you took for an apologetic expression.

Shaking your head profusely, you put your hands up in surrender. "Ah, no worries, Kageyama. I—uh, I have something for you from Minari. She has classroom duties today, so she couldn't come herself."

Kageyama nodded, taking the wrapped bento box that Minari had prepared for him from your outstretched hands. He mumbled words of thanks before stalking off while muttering under his breath a colorful range of insults at Hinata who in turn sent him a funny face.

The Spring Interhigh was coming up, and you were sure the Karasuno Boys Volleyball Club was itching for redemption after what had happened last August. Deciding that you didn't want to interrupt their practice any further, you made move to leave only to stop at the feeling of a hand on your wrist.

Glancing back, you raised an eyebrow in surprise at Hinata's sudden action. "What are you—"

The tangerine boy had exchanged his lighthearted expression of just minutes ago with a look that you could only describe as properly motivated. "When we make it to Nationals, promise to give me a chance."

All around you, the gym seemed to fade until only Hinata was in your line of vision.

When we make it to Nationals, he had said, not if.

Unable to respond, you found yourself nodding because who were you to kid yourself at this point?

The Karasuno Boys Volleyball Club did, in fact, make it to Nationals, but unfortunately lost to Kamomedai High School in the quarter-final round while Hinata spent his time at the hospital.

Hooked up to an IV line and dressed in one of those flimsy hospital gowns, Hinata looked unusually weak laying down on the bed. The others had left not long after you had arrived though some took more convincing than others.

"Next time, you can keep your scarf to yourself," you said, cutting the silence short with a lighthearted remark.

Hinata smiled weakly at that, his hand coming to rest atop your folded ones on your lap. "Don't worry about me. I'll be fine."

You shook your head. "Obviously, you can't take care of yourself." Slipping your hands from under his, you took the hand warmers out of your pockets and placed one in each of his hands. "Luckily, you got me."

His face lit up. "Oh, do I now?"

Warmth spread through your body as you looked away from his hopeful gaze. "Well, you did make it to Nationals."
