'YOU THINK I'LL MISS THE CHANCE OF SEEING YOU GUYS PLAY AT NATIONALS!? NO WAY!'

Hours prior [Y/N]'s flight back to Japan.
"[C/N]! Come on, we'll be late!!" [Y/N] scolded her older cousin, who responded with a chuckle. "Alright alright, calm down." They spoke, waving their hands up and down.
"[Y/N]!" The bubbly tone of her aunt's call made [Y/N] turn around to face her. "It's sad to see you go, but I'm glad we saw each other again!"
Her aunt spoke, her hands clasping [Y/N]'s. The latter smiled, "Of course auntie! I'm sure we'll see each other again!"
Her aunt held a warm smile before pulling her into a warm embrace, "Goodbye dear." [Y/N] smiled, hugging her back.
Her [E/C] orbs met her mother's colored ones, she pulled away from her aunt and walked to her mother, allowing her aunt to threaten their child that if they sped up while driving they'll be hit with the pan.
"Be careful sweetheart." Her mother mumbled, pulling her daughter into a hug. "I will mom, you too, take care." She tightened the hug before pulling away from each other.
"Call me when you get there, alright?" The daughter nodded at her mother's words. "Alright."
With one last kiss on her forehead, [Y/N] bid her aunt and mother goodbye. "Took you long enough." [C/N] spoke, leaning against the door frame.
"Yeah yeah, let's go, goodbye!!" She turned to wave at them one last time. "Goodbye sweetheart! Have a safe flight!" Her mother wished while waving a goodbye.
They walked towards [C/N]'s car, the older cousin assisting the younger with throwing her suitcase in the back of the car, closing the trunk afterwards.
"[C/N] I swear, if my suitcase opened while driving I will smack-" "Hey!! Wait for us!!"
A voice from a distance called out, growing louder and louder as they neared the [L/N]'s. Our protagonist and her cousin turned to the source, spotting the orange haired twins.
"Autumn? Akio?"
[C/N] queried, eyebrows furrowed in confusion, "Heyo." Akio gave a short wave, standing next to [Y/N]. "You're leaving todaaayyyy~ I'll miss youuuu~"
Even though autumn spent only two months with the [H/C] haired female, she grew fond of her, she liked hanging out with [Y/N], creating interesting conversations when having an opportunity, showed her bakeries and restaurants around the country-helping her get used to Russia.
Akio was the silent one, although he made short conversations with [Y/N] and listened to her opinions about her transferring to Russia. He offered advices here and there, as well as encouraging to talk to her mother regarding the issue, just like [C/N]-he ushered her to go search for her own happiness back in Japan.
[Y/N] chuckled at the older female's whine, returning the hug. "I'll miss you too autumn, thank you for showing me around Russia, I enjoyed it."
Autumn smiled sheepishly, "Your welcome [Y/N]." She pulled away from the hug.
[Y/N] felt fingers gently running through her [H/C] colored hair, she smiled, knowing who it was. "Have you developed a habit of playing with my hair?" [Y/N] inquired, turning to face the orange haired male with yellow streaks.
Akio flashed her one of his rare smiles, "I can't help it, it's soft~" his reply made [Y/N] chuckle, allowing a faint blush to spread on his cheeks.
"Thank you akio-san." The latter smiled at her words of gratitude, "Your welcome. Hopefully we see each other soon." He wished.
"I hope so!" [Y/N] nodded. She pulled the male into a hug, surprising him. His face exploding into different shades of red as he awkwardly patted her back.
"Ye-Yeah.. yo-you can let g-go now.." he cursed himself for stuttering. 'Autumn is definitely going to tease me about it later..' the male thought, glancing at his twin sister, who was smirking at him.
Fuck.
"You guys better go, we don't want you missing your flight." Akio cleared his throat, trying to avert eye contact with the female by taking off his glasses, acting as if he was cleaning them.
[Y/N] chuckled, "Yeah, it's nice meeting you guys, goodbye!" She waved, walking to the car. "Goodbye! We hope we see you again!" Autumn exclaimed happily while akio waved silently, both having a smile displayed on their lips, akio having a smaller one.
"Goodbye!" After that, the car drove off.
"I saw you blushing~" autumn began her teasing, "You saw nothing." Akio retorted, walking away.
"Nope! I saw it!"
"You were hallucinating."
"I know what I saw!"
"You saw nothing-" "bitch you got caught in 4k-"
"Who are you calling a bitch, copycat?"
"Hey! Just because you were born five minutes before me, doesn't mean you have to act all superior and shit."
"Best five minutes in my life."
"AKIO-"
"You're lucky we came on time!" [C/N] beamed, a smirk presented on their face. "Yeah." [Y/N] nodded, her hands gripping tightly on the handle of her suitcase.
Her older cousin noticed her nervousness, a smile appeared on their face. They placed their hand on her head, ruffling it slightly.
"I know its your first time flying alone, but you gotta get used to it!" [C/N] moved their hand to her shoulder, placing a two pats for reassurance.
[Y/N] let out a breath she didn't know she held, "Okay." She turned to face her cousin. "Thank you [C/N], it's thanks to you and akio-san for knocking some sense into me.."
[C/N] smiled, pulling the younger female into their embrace. "Your very welcome~" they mumbled, rubbing her back.
"Flight to Japan will be taking off soon, please head to gate number five."
[Y/N]'s head perked up at the sound of her flight being announced, she patted her cousin's back before pulling away from the hug.
"That's my cue to leave now, goodbye [C/N]." [Y/N] smiled, holding her suitcase close to her.
"Bye-Bye."
The game was intense.
Karasuno have won the first match and have been advanced to the second. Playing against inarizaki, a team that was located in hyogo prefecture.
Inarizaki was a long-time powerhouse and has attended nationals for three years, and 31 times overall.
Playing against a team like that was hard, but its karasuno were talking about. They didn't give up easily and played with all their power. Using different techniques and skills, they were on the road of victory.
The [H/C] haired female sat on one of the chairs in the stands, smiling down at the boys as they huddled up for a group hug.
Their two first years managed to block a spike sent by inarizaki, allowing karasuno to win the match.
The sight of the members crying out of joy made the female tear up. She stood up from her seat and walked down the stands.
Unaware of being caught by the ravenette.
"E-Eh!? Kiyoko-san!" Takeda called out for the ravenette who ran out of the court that held the match.
Her mind recalling the sight of her best friend in the stands, a proud smile on her face. Kiyoko scolded herself for not paying attention to her surroundings more.
She slowed her pace as she entered the lobby, pants and huffs leaving her lips as she glanced around her, trying to spot the [H/C] haired.
'Where could she be?'
'Was I hallucinating?'
'There's no way, she was right ther-'
Her thoughts were cut off after being engulfed into a back hug, a gasp left her lips at the sudden affection she received from what she assumed was stranger.
"I missed you, Kiyoko-san."
The sweet and soft voice of the person she missed dearly filled her ears, she instantly turned around. Facing the second year.
"Surprise!" Beamed the younger with a bright smile. Kiyoko didn't waste time embracing the female. Tears spilling out of her eyelids after being hugged back.
"When?..What?- How?" The third year whispered softly as their hug lasted for about a minute. "I came yesterday."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"It was supposed to be a surprise!" [Y/N] chuckled at Kiyoko's slight glare.
"The boys won!" [Y/N] exclaimed, "Yeah, They did well." Kiyoko nodded, wiping her tears. "Kiyoko-sa-"
Yachi, who was sent to look for kiyoko, gasped at the sight of the [H/C] haired female. "[Y-Y/N]-san.." she whispered.
"Hitoka-chan!" Yachi was engulfed into a hug by the second year. The blonde was still stunned by her appearance that she didn't notice her eyes tearing up.
"[Y/N]-san! I missed you.." she whispered into her arms, tears leaving her eyes. "I missed you too hitoka-chan." [Y/N] patted her head, before patting away from the hug.
"When did you arrive?" Yachi inquired, wiping her tears with her black sleeves. [Y/N] pulled both girls towards her, hugging them.
"Yesterday." She answered.
"I'm glad you're back." Kiyoko smiled,
"Do the boys know?" Yachi wondered.
"[Y/N]-SAN/CHAN!!!"
"Oof-" [Y/N] was attacked with a hug by the two second years who teared up at the sight of the female who they thought was just a hallucination their mind created.
"We..We missed.. you.." nishinoya choked out in between hiccups, his head buried in the crook of her neck.
"I thought you were going to live in Russia forever..?" Tanaka queried in a low tone, surprised by her arrival.
Ennoshita gazed at his fellow second years in shock, never in a million years he thought he would see her again,
"[Y-Y/N]-san?"
but he was pleased he did.
He called out in a confused tone, making [Y/N] avert her gaze from the two and towards the future captain.
"You too, chikara-kun, come here!" She opened her arms to embrace the male. Ennoshita smiled warmly at her before entering her warm embrace.
"I'm glad I saw you again.." he tightened the hug, not wanting her to leave Japan again. "Me too.." she whispered, patting his head.
"Where are the others?" After a while of tears and affection, [Y/N] questioned the three males. "Oh! They're coming!" Nishinoya responded, his voice a bit quavering then before.
"Let's go in!" Tanaka grabbed [Y/N]'s wrist as he dragged her inside the gymnasium, wanting her to see the other boys again.
[Y/N] chuckled at his antics and started to run as well, making it easier for the bald headed to pull her.
"Oi! Ryu!!! Wait for me!!!" Nishinoya screamed, following the two behind, with ennoshita on his tail.
"GUYS!!!!" Sugawara's head perked up at the sound of the familiar voice that belonged to tanaka."Is the van read-"
Sugawara was cut off by his own silence of shock after laying his gaze on the [H/C] haired that was dragged by Tanaka.
The other members glanced at where sugawara was looking, Tanaka and .. "[Y/N]-san..?" Yamaguchi mumbled under his breath.
The look of shock and surprise that their faces held made [Y/N] giggle, "Surprise!"
"[Y/N]-chan!" The called female was engulfed into a hug by the crows, "Did you see us? Did you see us win [Y/N]-san?" Hinata inquired, excitingly after pulling away from the large hug.
"Of course I did shoyo-chan! You did a amazing! I'm so proud of you all!" [Y/N] nodded, her smile brightening up.
"Why did you come back?-" Kageyama then noticed how that sounded wrong, "It-Its not like I don't want you here, I want you [Y/N]-san! I mean no- I-"
Oh how Kageyama wished the floor would split and swallow him, allowing him to disappear in just a few moments.
[Y/N] giggled at his words, "I get what you mean Tobio-chan, but come on!
"YOU THINK I'LL MISS THE CHANCE OF SEEING YOU GUYS PLAY AT NATIONALS!? NO WAY!"
Daichi smiled at her words. Pulling her into another hug, he said "I'm glad you came back [Y/N]-chan.." he mumbled.
[Y/N] relaxed in his arms and hugged the male back, "I'm glad I saw you guys again."
Soon, she was pulled into another group hug that consisted of all the members in karasuno.
"Oya, Kenma where are you?" Kuroo wondered, walking around the lobby, trying to find the bi-colored male.
"Kenma!" He called once more. No response. A groan left his lips, how did he disappear in a blink?
"Kuroo?" A familiar voice called out for the bed headed cat, the called male tuned around and was face to face with akaashi, Fukurōdani's setter.
"Akaashi? Didn't you guys leave?" Akaashi sighed at his question, "How can we leave when the captain is missing?"
Kuroo's eyes widened, "What a coincidence, kenma's lost as well." Akaashi narrowed his eyes, furrowing his eyebrows in addition.
"Now that you mention it, I don't think its a coincidence anymore." The blue eyed male gazed around him, trying to spot the two.
"If Bokuto-san happened to bump into Kenma, Kenma would start to follow him, especially in a place he is unfamiliar with."
Kuroo nodded at akaashi's words, "Right." He agreed. "Now where would that owl-bastard be?" Kuroo thought out loud, gazing at his surroundings as well.
A faint loud cry caught both ears of the males, they stiffened. "Did you just hear that or am I hearing things?" Kuroo asked the setter.
"No I heard it too." Akaashi nodded, the cry was heard once more. The owl and cat's eyes widened, "Bokuto!"
Both males started to run towards the direction of the faint cries they heard. Sure it was weird and scary to run towards the sound of crying, but it was their friend and he could have gotten hurt.
"Right here!" Kuroo stopped running due to akaashi yanking him by the back of his collar, the latter slowed down his pace-taking a turn as the soft cries became louder.
"Bokuto-san!-"
"[Y/N]!!"
"Ho-How!? Ju-just a few days ag-ago we were vi-video calling.."
The familiar [H/C] haired female was embraced by the two missing males, who were crying in joy and surprise after spotting their childhood friend.
Pants were heard from the two. Kuroo felt his heart skip a beat while akaashi's heart pounded against his chest. The third year cat breathed out a laugh, "Yo-You're back.."
[Y/N]'s [E/C] orbs met with hazel and blue orbs, a smile climbed up her lips. "Keiji-san! Tetsurō-san!" She called out, attempting to wave her hand.
Akaashi gave her a warm smile before making his way to the female, kuroo beating him to it. "Kitten." Kuroo mumble into the crook of her neck, hugging her tightly after the two pulled away.
Akaashi joined in shortly, wrapped his arms around her as well. Kenma and Bokuto gazed at them with a smile on their lips, kenma having a smaller one.
[Y/N]'s cheeks heated up after receiving a peck on her neck and one on her temple from both males. "I missed you~"
"Me too.." akaashi agreed with the black haired male. "Me to-too.." [Y/N] stuttered.
"HE-HEY!" Bokuto called out, catching their attention. "WE WA-WANT TO HUG HE-HER TOO!" Kenma also mustered up the courage to add,
"Yeah! That's not fair!" Though his voice was a bit lower than Bokuto, the three were surprised by his outburst.
[Y/N] light-hearted chuckle was heard, "Let's have a group hug then!" She suggested. Bokuto's head perked up as kenma's eyes sparkled, both males ran towards her embrace.
Kuroo and akaashi joined in too, completing the group hug.
"You're such an ass!! I clearly said, don't eat my agedashi tofu!" Iwaizumi bursted, holding the empty container that his food was supposed to be in, his eyes glaring daggers at Oikawa.
"[Y/N]-chan said she was hungry, so I shared it with her." Oikawa pointed at the female beside him, whose's attention was focused on the TV.
Iwaizumi's expression altered to a soft one, a sigh left his lips, "Fine only this time.." he allowed, a small smile climbing his lips.
Oikawa looked at the male in disbelief before back at [Y/N] who sat beside him, giving him a thumbs up. "If I didn't say that, I would've been dead, but if it's you.." Oikawa huffed.
A chuckle erupted from the female, "Don't worry tooru-san, I'm sure one day, you and Hajime-san will be able to enjoy eating agedashi tofu together." [Y/N] tried reassuring the male, a smile lingering on her lips.
"Says who?"
"As if." The two males retorted immediately, taking [Y/N] by surprise. Her expression switched back to a grin, those were her best friends and she's proud to be one of them.
"[Y/N]-chan, are you ready?" Kiyoko asked, walking beside the two managers, back into the gymnasium where nationals were held.
"I'm so ready!" [Y/N] beamed, making Yachi and Kiyoko smile. "This time, I promise.." She started.
"I promise to stand by karasuno! No matter what!!"
