《Oh Captain My Captain! (Haikyuu)》Chapter 35
Advertisement
Your morning alarm began to blare pulling you out of the restless sleep. Ushi had given you a ride home the night before and he had been unbelievably silent, his face stern showing no emotion. He pulled up to the front of your house throwing his truck into park, you went to open the door when he finally decided to speak.
"Hold on" he said sternly. He opened his door and came around to the passenger side, he opened the door and extended his hand to you. Even mad he couldn't help but be a gentleman which was something you admired about him. When your feet hit the ground you looked up into his face and you were taken back by his expression.
"Please don't look at me like that" you groaned looking away.
"Why him? You complained the moment you saw him but then you let him touch you" his tone was serious but his voice was soft, he swept the hair off your shoulder and pressed his thumb gently into the large hickey.
"It wasn't something I planned, things just got out of control suddenly" you tried explaining.
"I don't like feeling like this" his eyes showing his emotion. "I just want you to be mine again, I don't want to share your time anymore" he said softly.
"I'm just not..." you began to say but he interrupted you, placing his finger to your lips.
"Please just think about it, I don't need an answer right away" he kissed your cheek and got back into his truck.
The scene kept playing over and over in your head as you got ready for the day. The hickey was still very noticeable on your neck and you had to use a mountain of makeup to cover it. To top things off, as if you weren't already feeling like utter garbage, anxiety set in about todays games. Your team had to win every game to move on to nationals and as much as you believed in them, the opponents you would be facing were some of the best.
You finished getting ready, grabbed your board and set off towards the school. You were the first one to arrive other than Ukai who was getting the bus ready with Takeda and Kiyoko.
"You look like you haven't slept" Ukai said as he stepped off the bus having seen the dark circles under your eyes. "Get on the bus and take a nap till we get there" he commanded, throwing his jacket on top of your head. You smiled and got on the bus, you picked a seat halfway back, his jacket was a perfect blanket and you quickly drifted off into sleep. The rest of the team began to arrive shortly after and gathered outside the bus.
"Okay boys everyone get on the bus and be quick about it, but DO NOT WAKEUP L/N!" Ukai said raising his voice at the end. The guys quietly loaded onto the bus not daring to make a sound, each aweing over you as they took their seats.

"How does she look even more beautiful when asleep?" Hinata asked looking over the back of his seat down at you, he moved his hand towards you.
"HINATA LEAVE HER ALONE" Ukai shouted.
"Don't yell at him for saying I'm pretty old man" you chastised him while half asleep.
"SHUTUP AND GO BACK TO SLEEP" he yelled back at you.
"Hard to do that when you wont stop yelling" you said sitting up and glaring daggers at him. He turned around and sat in the driver's seat, putting the bus into motion. You could hear him griping under his breath which made you smile.
"Move over Shortcake" Tsukki said standing beside you.
"Awe it's my Tsukki-poo" you teased as you slid over allowing him to sit beside you.
"Idiot" he scoffed but placed his hoodie in his lap "Lay down and sleep before Coach starts yelling again" he said refusing to look at you.
"If you keep acting this sweet I might just fall in love with you" you teased as you rested your head in his lap and pulled Ukai's jacket back over you as a blanket. It didn't take long for you to fall back asleep, due to Tsukki gently rubbing up and down your side.
When the group arrived at the venue everyone quickly unloaded the bus and grabbed their bags. They all stood side by side looking at the building, their faces intense and filled with determination,
"We're here! We're totally gonna get revenge!" Hinata exclaimed, he then took off in a dead sprint towards the gymnasium.
"Don't just take off, you dumbass!" Kageyama yelled running after him. The rest of the group followed after them stopping behind a terrified looking Hinata. They had stopped behind a team wearing yellow jackets, a rather handsome guy with an undercut was staring down at his scared face.
"Cutie with the glasses! Make sure to give me your number today!" Terushima called out waving wildly at Kiyoko. "Ooooo wait who is this?" he asked catching sight of you.
"I don't think so" Tsukki said stepping in front of you. Teru's eyes flicked up to Tsukki's in a very daring way.
"Don't worry beautiful I'll find you later when four-eyes isn't around" Teru said with a smile, clacking his tongue ring against his teeth, he turned and began to go inside. "Well, see you in the first match!" he said as a final word.
The team walked into the gym taking in all the sights and sounds. There were a dozen other teams and fans filing into the gym to find a good seat. A few jerseys looked familiar but you had yet to see anyone you knew.
"I have to pee" Hinata said out of the blue and started walking away.
"I'm going to follow him, he seems to run into trouble when he goes to the bathroom" you laughed jogging after him.

Hinata was weirdly standing in front of the bathroom door in a position like he was going to receive a ball, he bounced back and forth on his feet waiting to be attacked from someone behind the door.
"Whatcha doin?" a familiar voice asked from beside you. You turned to see Oikawa looking rather amused at Hinata's behavior. Hinata visibly freaked out, shaking in his shoes, mouth wide open in terror. "Shorty here sure is troublesome, so why don't we bury him right now before its too late?" Oikawa joked trying to intimidate Hinata. You reached out socking him hard in the arm catching his attention.
Hinata took off running only to run smack dab into the side of Ushijima. He looked down at the small orange haired boy unamused. "Shoyo Hinata...... and Oikawa and Iwaizumi" he said greeting them coldly.
"What's with this timing?" Oikawa asked annoyed.
"For you two it's the last tournament of your high school career. I wish you the best of luck." Ushi said flatly.
"You are really starting to piss me off" Oikawa and Iwa said in unison.
"Good Morning Ushi" you said stepping in between them, his face softened slightly.
"Morning Honey" he said taking your hand in his. "You look tired" he observed as he tucked your hair behind your ear.
"Yea I didn't sleep the best had a lot on my mind" you said with an awkward chuckle.
"You did pretty good covering the mark I left" Oikawa teased from behind you "Next time I'll have to make it darker" he added narrowing his eyes at Ushi. He tried not to react to Oikawa's words but his hand locked into a tight fist and his body began to slightly shake.
"Don't let him bother you, he is just a pain" you said trying to recapture his attention.
"When I beat your little team and go to nationals you will see how much of a pain I am" Oikawa said trying to bate you into a reaction.
"Karasuno is going to win!" Hinata shouted out catching everyone's attention. He began to back up slowly, seeing the very intimidating glares boring into his tiny body. He bumped into another large surface and turned to see Aone staring scarily down at him. "I-I'm so sorry" he stuttered out.
"Hey handsome, long time no see" you said flashing Aone a smile, his face didn't change but his ears became a deep pink standing out against his pale skin.
"It doesn't matter who it is. We'll gladly accept your challenge" Ushi said as he walked away from the situation. You watched him walk away, feeling bad that Oikawa had gotten to him.
"Hinata hurry up and pee so we can go warm-up, we have some arrogant jerks to beat" you said flicking your eyes annoyed at Oikawa who was smiling.
"You willing to make a bet?" He asked "I win and you agree to be nice to me, you guys win I'll leave you alone" he offered.
"Deal" you said bumping him with your shoulder as you walked past.
You made your way back to the team who was starting warm-ups, Hinata quickly joined them. Walking over you stood beside Ukai and the two of you watched everyone's movements.
"They look good out there, they already seem focused so don't worry" he said, he had noticed your eyes rapidly moving from player to player.
"I know, but I can't shake this feeling" you said shaking your head. He placed his hand on your lower back and gently stroked it with his thumb.
"Well I have a feeling that we are going to win, so trust me. Gather up guys" he called out. The guys quickly gathered around and Ukai gave them a simple pep talk.
"Karasuno fly!" they yelled out in unison. Ukai turned his focus back on you, having dismissed the guys.
"You better head up to Yachi, she looks like she is about to die from anxiety" Ukai chuckled looking up at the tiny blonde.
"I will, gotta do one thing first" you took two fast steps and launched yourself at Daichi, he was surprised but caught you without effort. You wrapped your arms around his neck and he wrapped his around your waist. "Good luck out there handsome" you pressed your lips lightly to his making him smile.
"Thank you, now I'm sure to win" he said smiling as he sat you back on your feet. You left his smiling figure behind and made your way up into the stands, to find a very nervous looking Yachi.
The stands for Karasuno were practically empty so you stood at the rail with Yachi to cheer the guys on. Asahi was up to serve first, he was one of the strongest servers so you had a feeling it would be a service ace. He tossed the ball up and smacked it hard over the net but the other team was quick to receive it, the receive wasn't great though and the ball flew towards the backside of the court. Terushima sprinted toward the ball, jumping and twisting in air he smacked the ball with his hand and it flew over the net scoring them a point. Everyone was frozen in place with shocked expressions, he had hit the ball from the back of the court with ease taking everyone by surprise.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT??!!" you shouted out.

Invest yourself in a mix of political intrigue, complex characters, even more complex relationships, with drama born from conflict and dispute, and just good old death. Enjoy.
