The old man chuckled at his awe and felt a light tug on his arm. It was Haru, "Woah who's that one? He's super tall and cool! Is he really good?" Coach Nekomata knew who he was talking about and smirked at the irony of his questions.

"That's Haiba Lev, he's..." He trailed off after seeing his hopeful face, "Not the best but good enough,"

Haru's face fell but he looked at [name] to ask him who his favourite member was. [name] shrugged, not wanting to say anything as he felt eyes poking into his figure.

They continued watching the players practice with Haru exclaiming at every cool looking thing he saw and [name] shushing him in case he was bothering any of them.

ミ☆( *uωu)+.

The team finished up their practice game and went to get drinks. The bottles were placed right besides [name] to which he shuffled over to the other side as much as he could to be further away.

Some of the member looked too tired to regard the children on the the bench but [name] noticed one of them staring at him with round, watery eyes.

"We...We have small, cute fans!" He cried, going up to another member. He snaked closer to them. [name] shrunk away from him, slightly feeling threatened by his intense expression. The male noticed and he fell down, tears streaming down his face as he muttered about "his small fan being scared of him!"

[name] saw a taller boy with spiky hair kick him lightly but his attention was taken away by the same boy who knelt in front of them earlier that was in front of them again.

"My name's Nobuyuki Kai, was I cool?" He asked.

[name] shyly nodded to him, not looking directly into his eyes.

The tall one with the light hair bounced over to them with a lot of energy still somehow, "I bet I was cooler though, right?"

"Oi Lev! You shouldn't have this much energy left over!" The one who kicked him earlier spoke, "Plus, you're bad anyway,"

"Don't worry, I still think you're cool! Even if you're bad, at least you're tall- OH YOUR FEET ARE MAHOOSIVE!" Haru tried to make him feel better but got side tracked.

ミ☆( *uωu)+.

"So do you two play volleyball too?" The one who had introduced himself as 'Kuroo' asked.

"I don't but [name] does," Once again, Haru thrust [name out into the spotlight when he wasn't expecting it. Through most of the introductions, [name] simply listened and chimed in whenever Haru asked him something.

"Oh do you have a favourite position then?" This question was clearly aimed at [name] and he cleared his throat and answered.

"I like Libero," [name] glanced sideways and added, "Yaku-san looked nice,"

This simple answer sent Yaku into a state of bliss. 

"Ehhh, but Yaku-san's super short!" Lev commented. He got a jab sent at him by the mentioned person.

"I'll teach you everything you want to know. From now onwards, you are my little disciple, alright," Yaku held his hand out to [name] solemnly.

[name] hesitantly accepted and reached out slowly. He yelped as Yaku pulled him harshly and twirled him around.

Haru laughed from the side lines as [name] tumbled into another member before running behind him again. It seemed he'd have to get [name] out of this shy phase sometime soon.

"You see that, he hates you, must be because of your lack of..." Kuroo started taunting Yaku in ways [name] didn't understand.

They headed out of the gym and [name] noticed a frantic figure running around outside. They stopped when they saw him and began running over to them. It was Hiroshi with an angry face that [name] would be terrified of if it was directed at him. Thankfully, it wasn't as Hiroshi only ever got angry at his little brother.

He thanked the members of the volleyball team before dragging the two 'troublemakers' off to [name]'s home.

ミ☆( *uωu)+.

In the end, only Hiroshi got told off for being irresponsible and the two little boys headed up to [name]'s room where his bed was set up.

They changed into their pyjamas, with Haru wearing a Pikachu onesie and [name] wearing a Tigger onesie. They jumped onto the pile of pillows and duvet that was [name]s bed and whispered to each other, holding hands and facing each other.

"I don't want you to be far," Haru mumbled.

"Neither," Replied [name].

There was a stale silence around them afterwards that they didn't like. [name] snuggled closer to Haru and draped his arm around him wishing he wouldn't have to let go in the morning. But that was unavoidable.

They slept comfortably, holding each other close.

ミ☆( *uωu)+.

[name] waved after the car that was disappearing into the distance. The Ito's had left.

"Haru-kun can't see you anymore, come inside now," His mother called him in and opened her arms wide.

[name] gave one more glance to the direction the car had disappeared off to and ran into his mother's arms. She rubbed his back gently, hearing small sniffles escape him.

ミ☆( *uωu)+.

...So I lied, there weren't that many interactions but that was because mc is a bundle of nerves and it's only the first time they're meeting. 

Also he's shy child uwu.

Haru's gone and he took half of my heart with him.

ミ☆( *uωu)+.
