You walk back into the gym and see more people than before. Another team has joined the practice.

"Keishin," Y/N asks her brother, "who is that team?"

You look over at Ukai-sensei who's putting his hands on his hips, looking very proud of himself.

"That's Fukurodani!" he confidently tells her.

You look back over at Fukurodani's team and see that Kuroo is friends with another kid who has crazy white and black hair. You look back at Y/N, hoping she'll remember to keep her promise about staying away from Kuroo. You watch her smile and take a few steps towards the opposing teams.

I can't let her get too close to them.

Before Y/N can get too far away from you, you grab her wrist and shoot her an intense glare. As she realizes you're preventing her from going forward, she gives you a puzzled look as though her approaching the team was not a big deal. You decide to send her back a disapproving look. Once she realizes she isn't allowed to approach the teams, she walks towards Hinata.

When Y/N is safe from the other guys, you walk over to Yamaguchi.

"Hey, Tsukki!" he waves as you walk over, "I need to fill up my water."

"Me too," you nod, "I'll go with you."

You walk with Yamaguchi to the water fountains and fill up your water. As you're waiting for Yamaguchi to fill his bottle, you hear people talking from around the corner.

"Yeah, she's pretty cute, right?"

Kuroo?! That piece of shit better not be talking about Y/N.

"Can't disagree," the other guy laughs, "she did catch my attention right away."

"Bokuto," Kuroo continues, "I think I'm going to ask her out before she leaves this time. Last time she got away too quick for me to ask."

Bokuto laughs at his friend again.

That fucking asshole better stay away from Y/N...

Without noticing, your body has let out a dark aura and Yamaguchi is staring at you, confused.

"You okay, Tsukki?" Yamaguchi asks.

You nod.

"Maybe she doesn't want you, dude," you hear Bokuto say again from around the corner.

However, this time the voices are even louder.

"Shut up it's not my fault, it's-"

Kuroo stops his conversation the moment he turns the corner and sees you and Yamaguchi.

"Oh hey, Tsukishima," Kuroo waves at you.

Why the hell is he using my real name instead of calling me Four-eyes? Is he trying to let his friend know my real name?

"Hi," you coldly respond.

"This is my friend Bokuto. He's from Fukurodani," Kuroo replies, ignoring your tone.

"Hey hey hey, what's up! I can't wait to beat you both in volleyball later!" Bokuto replies with an excited and confident voice.

Man, this kid has a lot of energy.

"You two excited for the match?" Bokuto asks you and Yamaguchi.

You shrug as Yamaguchi happily replies, saying that he hopes he gets the chance to play.

As you turn your attention back to Kuroo, you can't help but dislike his presence anywhere you or Y/N.

"You okay there, Glasses?" Bokuto asks, noticing that you're giving Kuroo a death stare.

"None of your business," you reply as you walk past them.

As you walk away, you smile thinking how Y/N isn't allowed to talk to Kuroo.

Good thing she owed me.

Once you get back to the gym, Yamaguchi runs up to you.

"What happened back there, Tsukki?" he asks you.

You turn around as you roll your eyes at your annoyingly curious friend.

"Nothing," you tell him.

"Then how come you're so mean to Kuroo? I think he's just trying to be your friend."

Not to Y/N though...

"Come on Tsukki, lighten up. They were just being friendly back there."

"You didn't hear what they said bef-" you cut yourself off, trying not to reveal too much.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Yamaguchi asks you.

"Nothing I guess I just misinterpreted what they said before. Like you said, they were just trying to be nice."

Like hell that's what actually happened.

Yamaguchi smiles at you. "Good. You know we should at least try to get along with some players from the other teams."

"Yeah okay whatever," you tell him, "now can we drop this subject?"

Finally, your game against Fukurodani has begun. As your team plays, you put up a good fight against their skill. A while into the game, Bokuto goes into his 'emo mode' as the number 5 player calls it.

Stupid. How the hell is he part of the starting line up, let alone the goddamn ace?!

While you wait for Fukurodani to restart, you look around for Y/N. Once your eyes find her, you catch Kuroo trying to talk to her.

He better not be pulling any funny shit.

Y/N does her best to just nod and awkwardly smile at Kuroo from time to time. You can tell that she's doing her best to stay away from him although he is completely oblivious to it.

I hope he didn't ask Y/N out yet, not without me there to protect her against him.

Once the game restarts, you do your best to keep your mind on the game. Every so often you glance over to search for Y/N. However, once Bokuto gets out of his 'emo mode' he becomes rather annoying. Each time he blocks you it pisses you off more, especially as you think about how he said Y/N was good-looking.

Why the hell does it even bother me. She doesn't even know him. I don't even know why Y/N bothers me so much either, probably because she gets on my nerves every five seconds by doing something idiotic.
