꧁Hot, hot, hot꧂
☆☆︎☆
You let out another groan as you swiped your hand across your neck. It was so hot. Of course you'd love to go to an ice rink to cool of right now, but noooo. You had to run even more errands for the volleyball team and the secret bbq that was going to be at the end of this week.
Because this week is now the last week of the training camps. And after that the spring prelims would start and after that you didn't know the next time you'd see any of the other volleyball teams.
You stop as you eye the store the shinzen coach told you to do to. Apparently he'd already paid for the charcoal for the bbq but could pick it up in time, hence why your riding around town with a rather large backpack on your back.
You take off your rollerblades, sliding on some other shoes and step into the store getting a greeting as you do.
"Hello, i'm here to pick up some charcoal. I believe the coach from Shinzen left it for me."
The male behind the counter nods and points out a few bags near the desk he was sitting behind. "Here, i'll help ya out."
You set the open backpack on the males desk and flash him a friendly smile. "Thanks."
The two of you manage to get the charcoal into your backpack, how ever the straps are weighing heavily on your shoulders and it's bulging out weirdly, and the heat doesn't help. Nonetheless you push on.
"Hey kid. It's hot out, take it." You look at the shop owner, him holding out a gari gari kun popsicle. You happily accept, thanking him profusely.
You leave the store after that, switching out the regular shoes for your roller blades again you head back to Shinzen, where the last week of the training camp was taking place.
As you arrive, the half eaten, and somewhat melted popsicle still in your grasp as you take a bite. You don't miss the new addition of Karasuno's bus there. Their usually the last to arrive due to their long drive.
You roller skate past, a little surprised to see Karasuno and Nekoma outside talking. Meaning Karasuno hadn't arrived too long ago. You wave to the team as you pass them, trying to be a little nice with all the weight on your back.
You take the ramp, opting not to switch out your rollerblades in order to go up the amount of stairs you had to climb to get into the building.
Once inside you put away your rollerblades and throw away the popsicle stick, you finally eating the last of it.
You make it to the gym where Nekomata, Naoi and some of the other coaches are conversing. You announce yourself and step forward "Uh, I have the charcoal. Any particular place you'd like me to put it?"
"You can put it in the storage shed out back."
You nod to the Shinzen coach, "Got it."
***
The practice matches begin quickly. Once again with Karasuno vs Fukurodani. However... this time something was obviously different. Karasuno still got their asses kicked but there was certainly a change taking shape. It was almost like when you went against your coaches to try and land a harder jump than you probably should have. While obviously not completely together, not finished, Karasuno seemed to be doing their best to get where they needed to be.

You along with the other manages were in the kitchen when your phone starting pinging. It was slow at fist. A simple message. Then a few minutes later, another. Then a few seconds later came another. Soon enough they were coming like a flood, quickly and one after another.
You finally put down the knife you were chopping some carrots with and pick up your phone going to the group chat with the skaters from your home rink. (so not the u-19 group). One of the younger students there, a first year in middle school, had landed a jump they'd been practicing for a while and some of the other skaters had been complimenting them.
You complement them as well explaining to them that you were proud and to keep up the good work but to make sure they were also taking the breaks they needed and to stay healthy. They quickly responded with their thanks and promises to stay healthy.
A small smile comes over your face as you pocket your phone again and go back to chopping carrots.

Not too much later you were assigned to take the gyms and let the boys getting in extra practice know that the food was ready and to hurry up and get to the cafeteria or else they would miss out on tonight's dinner.
You arrive at gym three and simply watch for a while. You soon step in and clear your throat catching the groups attention.
"Y/N!" A big smile comes over Bokuto's face as he sees you.
You give a smile to Bokuto in return "Hi Bokuto. I hate to tell you guys this but if you all don't hurry to the cafeteria it'll close and no one here'll get fed."
The boys freeze "Thanks Y/N!" And Bokuto's dashing off, Kuroo racing after him. You simply watch on, not really surprised.
Akaashi, and the crow, Tsukishima you believe, excuse themselves in a much calmer manner. Them simply walking out.
You stare at the empty gym in front of you with a furrowed brow. In their haste they'd left everything up. An obvious sign they'd probably be back to continue where they'd left off. It seemed everyone around you seemed to be evolving. Everyone but you.
You turn around and head for the next gym, still in a sort of daze. The boys in the next gym seemed to be working hard as well. Each and everyone pushing to improve and better themselves.
Why couldn't you do the same? You couldn't remember the last time you'd landed a new jump. That you'd really tried to do something in your routines. Sure you'd tried different combinations and switched up the pattern of your jumps but those were all things that you'd done before and things that you knew you could do.
As you stare at Asahi do a failed jump serve and a set that didn't cross the net from Nishinoya you make up your mind. You'd practice hard to finally perfect a new jump. A jump you'd previously never even attempted. You'd perfect the hardest jump in Figure skating; and make it your bitch.
A/N:
I messed up last chapter and said they were already at Shinzen when I meant to say they were at Fukurodani. I've fixed it up now so this is just in case anyone is confused from the last chapter.
Also.. I forgot the name of the jump which is why the ending of this chapter is so ambiguous.
ALSO ALSO... I created a new book (currently have 57 drafts, lolz)
Here's a preview ;) -- t's an Inarizaki x male reader omegaverse fic btw--
~~
The omega had no idea how he got himself into this situation. He had not one, not two, not even three, but four. Four alphas surrounding him at the moment.
"Guys-" the omegas voice is weak it sounding a lot breathier than intended. One of the alphas surrounding him grips him a little tighter, the omega whining in response.
"Oh come on y/n," The omega looks up at the male who called his name, his eyes landing on the gray haired twin "Ya can do better than that can't ya?"
"Don't tease 'em too bad 'samu." Hot breath fans across the back of the omegas neck "Ya know the poor thing can't hold on for much longer." The other twin continues rubbing circles onto the omegas skin.
"Please, I can't-" The omega is cut off
"Can't, or won't?" The omega tears his gaze away from the gray haired twin in order to look at a black haired male leaning against the wall. Him typing away at his phone, almost as if he's bored of everything that's currently occurring.
The omega blindly searches for any semblance of help, his e/c eyes landing on another one of his senpais "Gin-"
"Don't even. This is yer fault." The second year walks up to the omega, gently grabbing his chin and making him look up at him, "Ya shouldn't even be looking at another team like that. Much less letting them scent ya."
Oh right... Now y/n remembers. Jealousy.
But i've started in the middle. Let's go to the beginning shall we?
