Everyone still stared at you, even Daichi who didn't knew if he should just eat the nikumans or look at you like you were an alien. A green frog alien with a yellow star on it.

"What?"Not receiving a response you shrugged the thing off and continued to nibble on your treat, successfully finishing it like it was nothing, while Daichi handed everyone a nikuman.

Suddenly you felt someone tug your left sleeve repeatedly.

"How did you do that?!" You looked at the orange haired boy.

"What do you mean...? Do what?" You stared at him, awaiting for an answer.

"T-that.." The action seemed to make him nervous so he looked away. "The r-running fast thing!"

"Okay, I'll tell you my secret." You bent down to his eye level and patted his head. Making him lightly squeak.*

"I'm fast, I guess. Always have been fast!" You smiled at his small figure.

"What kind of answer is it, munchkin?" Ops, he did it again. Now everyone's attention was on the two of you.

Gettin up and back to your normal height you looked at him with a dead serious look.

"Hey, listen! I know my argumentation wasn't the best but I tr- ... Wait. Wait a second." You pointed a finger at him, "Who are you calling a munchkin?!" You inched closer to the first year.

"I'm not even that shorter than you, c'mon!" You stood next to the male, showing that you in fact were one, three centimeters taller than Yamaguchi, thing that made you a max of 8 centimeters shorter than him.

"Still shorter than me, munchkin." He chuckled behind his hand.

"Ok, that's it. I refuse to continue this conversation. I refuse!" You whined, throwing a nikuman in his face.

Bad move. Definitely a bad move. A dark aura started to appear behind the scary first year and, as the courageous person you are, you did the most intelligent and easy thing you could think about:

You his behind Asahi. Bless his height. Sadly, said teen was surprised to say the less and started to slightly tremble, both from the fact that he was being used as a human shield and from the fact that you were so near him.

Trying to save yourself from his upcoming wrath you spoke,"U-Uh.. you know.. you actually are right! I'm a munchkin, so short! Just don't kill me, I want to live!"

You skipped from behind Asahi to behind Kageyama, meaning: further and further away from sure death.

"KAGEYAMA, HELLO!" You patted his shoulder with your free hand, trying to find a way to get away from the previous situation you were in, making everyone sweat-drop. "How are you?"

"I'm good." He answered trying to sound as calm as possible.

You smiled at the answer, "That's nice, I'm glad to hear that!" You said, looking at the now scarlet-like sky. You stood still for what seemed to be a second, even if in reality it was a minute. You completely forgot about a totally important thing.

'Now that I think about it, I forgot to inform Kai that I was going to buy some food on the way. Better text him before he burns his whole house down.'

You took opened your bag before placing the nikumans you saved for the two of you in a safe pocket of it and took out your phone.

Tapping on the message app you entered a chat with only you and said boy in it and proceeded to write the message.

M/N the chat room ※

M/N:

Kai, is your house on fire yet?

Kai:

Do you think it is? (._.)

M/N:

No? If you're replying then you're alive.

ANYWAY. I've bought some nikumans..

Want to eat them with me?

Kai:

Sure( ˚ω˚ )/ We were going to eat together anyway eheh ( 6ω6 )

Oh! I have some cups of instant ramen, fyi~

M/N:

That I'm gonna make.

Kai:

WHY! I WANNA DO IT! T︵T

M/N:

Remember last time you tried to make them? You were able to burn them. And the microwave.

Kai:

Still those scones I made some months ago were delicious, so I'm able to cook. That was just one sad mistake. ˊ▽ˋ

M/N:

Those scones could have killed me.

I was so glad I had water with me at the time..

And one mistake? You think you've done it only one?

Kai:

!!

It was just once! Once!

M/N:

Actually, that happened six times.

Kai:

Tch. b_d

That doesn't matter! I'm not a chef.

I'm an idol! Like, SHINY! IT'S JOKE! KAI KAI KAA~ ^ω^

M/N:

Kai. No. Stop.

I'm coming home. Just.. stop. ˚_˚ǁ

Kai:

Want to become one with mother Ru-

----------------------

You sighed as you left the chat and turned off your phone, ready to replace it in your pocket. Someone, though, stopped you from doing so, placing a hand on your shoulder to catch your attention.

"Hey.. uh.. L/N-" you turned yourself, looking at the gray haired setter.

"M/N!" The third year seemed confused by your interruption, so you had to explain what you meant.

"Feel free to call me M/N, I'm used to it." you grinned.

"Alright.. Then, M/N, I wanted to know if there was a way we could repay you for buying us the nikumans."He smiled kindly before continuing,"That was a really nice gesture and we truly appreciate it, even if some of us don't show it."

"It's okay, really. You don't have to repay me in any way!" You answered, "However, if there is anything I can do for you to repay all the kindness you showed me today please tell me. I'd be glad to be of help!"

He seemed to be in deep thought for a moment until he asked you something, "Well, actually.. there's something you could do."

Your eyes sparkled for a moment "What is it?!"

"Since you're now part of the team even if only as a coach.. I wanted to ask if you could give me your number? Just so I can inform you if anything important happens while you're not there." You nodded and gave him your phone.

"Just add your number in it!" He took it for your hands and typed his number, adding it to your contacts list

As he returned it you looked at the name he saved himself.

" 'Koushi' uh?" He seemed to get a little red.

"I call you by first name. So it only seems fair that you do the same with me, right?" You chuckled and laughed,

"Great logic, Koushi~" Looking at the digital clock in your phone you sadly noticed it was pretty late.

"I've gotta go now, feel free to give my number to the others too!" you started to get on your way towards your home.

"Bye guys!" you wave to them one last time.

Fact is, you didn't knew how hard it would have been to get home if you didn't know the road.(Genius.)

Nor did you know that a certain setter totally forgot, totally not on purpose, to give your number to his teammates.

How unlucky.

I'M SO BUSY I CAN'T EVEN AHHHHH- I'm sure there's at least one typo here. Wrote this chapter in 30 minutes and I don't know if it came out right--

School gonna start the 15th. I'm playing too much Mystic Messenger. 499♡ Hearts. TOO MANY THINGS OK.

​​​​​​*Author-Chan hates school and her social anxiety, how is she gonna survive the first day no one knows.*

​​​​​​​★★ THING: I wanted to do a speedy sketch of how Kai is, just to give you guys an idea of how this dude is. Would you mind me writing a special about how you met this totally not-normal anime-obsessed dude? Because I'm doing it anyway-- Orz
