Once Karasuno's practice match against Fukurodani is over, you run to give water to some of the boys. After you grab Shoyo and Tobio's water bottles, you run up to them.

"Hey you guys did awesome!" you tell them.

"Yeah, but we lost," Shoyo says defeatedly.

Tobio scoffs. "Whatever, we'll win next time."

"Oh hey, Y/N we noticed that Kuroo keeps talking to you. What's that about?" Shoyo asks.

"Uh, I'm not sure," you say a bit embarrassed "but he's nice."

You smile, trying to avoid the awkward situation Shoyo put you in even though he didn't mean to.

"We are friends," you tell them.

"Are you dating him?" Tobio asks bluntly.

"What?!" you shout.

Too loud, Y/N...

"No," you say a bit louder than a whisper.

Shoyo looks as if he's about to say something to you, but Tsukishima walks up to the three of you, intimidating Shoyo from speaking.

"I'm not dating Kuroo. O-Or anybody," you say quietly to them.

You walk away, leaving the embarrassing situation. You head towards Tadashi who looks a bit upset.

"Hey Tadashi!" you wave to him, "how are you feeling?"

"Well, to be honest, Y/N, I really want to get to practice my jump serve in a real game. Ever since you helped me a while back, I've been practicing and now I want to try it out."

You giggle at his determination.

"That's cute," you tell him causing his cheeks to light up, "I'll go talk to Keishin about it, okay?"

"R-really, Y/N? Thanks a lot!"

"No problem," you smile back at him.

You walk over to your brother who isn't shocked at your visit.

"I know what you're going to say, Y/N," he sighs.

"U-Uh what are you-"

"I know he wants to go in and he'll get his turn."

You sit next to your brother and sigh.

"He just needs to be patient," Keishin tells you.

"Ya know I helped him on his jump float. I think he'll be able to pull it off if you give him a chance," you try to convince him.

Your eyes meet with your brother's as you watch the curiosity spark within him.

"What's the big deal," you smirk knowing that he's intrigued "just see how it goes."

You watch as the boys play their second game, this time against Nekoma. Getting a weird feeling from your side, you look over to see Tadashi staring past you, into your brother's soul.

What a dork.

You walk over to Tadashi, hoping to calm him down a bit.

"Look I talked to Kei- uh- Ukai-sensei. He'll put you in just chill out a bit, okay?"

"Oh, I, uh... Thanks Y/N," he replies nervously.

"You're going to do great," you smile back.

After comforting Tadashi, you sit back down next to Keishin. As the game continues, you watch Tsukishima constantly putting up good blocks against the opposing team.

"They're going to get this one," you hear your brother whisper as a gin grows along his face.

As you turn back to the team you watch as Tobio sets up the ball. Using Shoyo as a decoy, he sends the ball to Tsukishima. The moment you think Tsukishima's about to score, Kuroo jumps up to block Tsukishima. Once the boys land, you see a smirk form on Kuroo's face. You turn your attention back to Tsukishima who now has a dark aura around him, sending chills down your body.

I'm so glad I'm not Kuroo right now. I don't know what Tsukishima's problem is with him, but at least he doesn't hate me that much.

A moment later you see Kuroo say something to Tsukishima. Before you can look away, Kuroo makes eye contact with you. You do your best not to become too flustered at the moment which took you off guard. Unsure of what's going on, you look towards Tsukishima. You watch as Tsukishima ignores Kuroo and walks back to the rest of his team.

A bit later, Keishin calls Tadashi over to him.

"You're going to sub in for Hinata when it's his turn to serve, okay?"

You watch as Tadashi nods nervously. When he looks over at you, you smile back at him, hoping to encourage him.

A minute later, you watch Tadashi again as he walks over to the court. As he holds onto the volleyball you see him do the footwork that you taught him.

Wow, he really was practicing what I told him. He didn't bring his arms down this time and kept the ball at a good height. I'm impressed.

Tadashi's serve is good and the ball stays playable. You watch as Nekoma hits the ball back to your team. Once it's Tsukishima's turn to hit the ball, he smacks it hard against Kuroo with all of his might. After Tsukishima scores, he turns back to the group and smiles.

The fuck? He smiled?

"Woah!" Tadashi yells out, unable to control his shock.

A couple of the other boys call Tsukishima out as well, causing the smile to disappear.

That was kinda cute... I've never seen him smile before.

Once the game ends, you sit on another bench looking down at your phone.

"Y/N!" you hear someone call out to you.

You look up and see Kuroo running towards you.

Again?!

You wave and look around for Tsukishima but don't see him anywhere.

What am I supposed to do now?

You allow Kuroo to walk up to you and sit beside you.

"G-good job during the practice game," you say awkwardly.

Kuroo nods and thanks you. He's a bit out of breath from running over to you after just playing volleyball as well.

What the hell does he want? It's not that I don't like him but he's making it difficult for me to avoid him.

As you look at him curiously, you watch his eyes wander down to your phone.

"Hey, Y/N, can I get your phone number?"

Shocked by his question, you aren't sure how to answer. You look around once more for Tsukishima but know he isn't around. If he was there, he would have immediately came over anyway.

"If that's okay," he continues after not getting an answer from you.

"S-sure," you reply.

Kuroo pulls out his phone and hands it to you. As you are about to type in your number, someone walks up to the pair of you, causing you to look up at them.
