After a plenty of sleep, you feel so much better than before. In fact, it almost feels like you've never been sick in the first place. Turns out, the medication that the libero made you took last night, really did help for your faster recovery.
Today is the day for the training camp, and you were glad that you're already in full health.
Right now, you're currently doing your morning jog on your way towards the school where the whole team will meet up, after you stopped by on Yasashi's house― who just returned from visiting her relatives― to entrust your little feline pet to the kind elder's care for the meantime, while you're away.
Uhh... and no. Morning jog isn't actually part of your daily routine, nor even your vocabulary. It's just that you find it more convenient to do today instead of riding a public transport, when you're trying to save up as much money you can.
You can see from a quiet distance the bus that's parked by the entrance of Nekoma High's ironed gates, and the familiar group of tall statures standing next to it as you continue to trot closer.
Hearing a series of soft huffs that's drawing in, Yamamoto slant his head to look behind them and get overzealous when his eyes land upon you. He throw an enthused finger over you as he screams, "Ooohh― she's HERE! SHE'S HERE! I REPEAT! Y/N-SAN'S FINALLY HERE!"
Yamamoto shot his arms in the air with a welcoming ear to ear grin. "HEEEELLOOOOO Y/N-SAAAAAAA―"
Annoyed by the ace's excessive loudness, Yaku didn't hesitate to send a strong kick on Yamamoto's ass to silence him and his big mouth. "SHUT UP, DAMN IT!" He loudly scolds then turn to you with his stern demeanor fading away. "Sorry 'bout him..."
"It's okay, umm... sorry, did I make you guys wait too long?" You apologize beforehand as you approach them, sending a small wave to Shibayama, Lev, and Inuoka who greets you with their pure, innocent smiles. Skimming your eyes through their faces, both of your brows levitate when you notice that the team lacks the presence of one member. A first year to be exact. "Where's Tamahiko?"
"Oh no, you're actually just in time, Y/N." Kuroo told you with a dismissive hand gesture, before he elaborates the answer to your second question. "And anyway, the kid said he can't attend the first and second training camp due to family reasons."
Nodding in understanding, you let the short conversation end there as the bus' engine suddenly rumbles to life. The elder coach, Yasufumi, poke his head from the opened door, telling everyone that they're ready to leave now.
The boys, without any further ado, quickly board inside and began to occupy the empty cushioned seats, sharing it with somebody accordingly on how they exactly want to spend the short trip that ranges from peaceful, to chaotic.
Kenma, clearly wanting to spend the whole ride on the peaceful slope, decides to sit with Fukunaga on the seat on two rows behind the driver, instead of Kuroo. That fact causes the rooster head to frown, as he plop down next to Yaku in the most begrudging way.
As for you, you choose to sit with Kai who sat by the window, at the very back of the bus. To your left, there resides Inuoka with Shibayama on his other side. Both were indulged in a lively chat about their test results, comparing the scores.
The very second you put your bum on the cushion, Naoi― who's sitting on the driver's seat while Nekomata's on the one behind him― peer behind him to throw the team one last glance for a mental headcount, before he step on the pedal gas and set off the vehicle running on the road.
"Hey, how are you feeling now?"
"Mmm?" Humming, you place your bag on top of your lap before casting your eyes over the vice captain. "Oh, uhh... I feel fine now, really. The medicine that Morisuke made me drink helped me recover real soon."
He bob his head up and down, smiling lightly at your affirmation that your in a better condition now. "That's good to know. I was really worried when you didn't show up yesterday since usually, you always send a message to let me know if something came up so I can tell sensei. Even Rezu's worried to, and she's mostly quiet for the whole day since you're not there for her to talk to."
"Sorry for making you worried..." you sheepishly mutter, twirling the zipper of your bag in your forefinger and thumb.
"It's okay. What's important now is that you're fine and in your full health, right?" He told you, giving you an assuring pat on the shoulder as his eyes squint into an eye smile.
Unable to repress yourself from doing so, you reciprocate the soft expression he have displayed, but in a much milder version. You were touched by his concern for you.
"Mmm, yeah... I guess you're right."
There's a light poke on your shoulder, which prompts you to face your other side to see Inuoka and Shibayama eyeing you with those doe eyes of their as they ask your opinion about which subject is the hardest in year 1.
The said existing topic prolongs on account of the continuous exchange of point of views. Although mostly, it's the two first year that's speaking, while you're only making some comment from time to time since you very much prefer to just keep an ear out.
Soon enough, they had to stop their harmless little squabble when the vehicle made a turn to an opened gates, entering the campus of the school Fukurodani Academy.
Taking up one of the parking space next to the two other bus that's probably from other schools, the rumbling of the vehicle's engine stopped, giving everyone the cue to pack up their stuff. They began to move and file out from the bus, respectively one at a time.
You were the second to the last to board out― with Kai being the last one. As you set your feet on the paved ground, you scope out the terrain, but stop yourself from doing so when your gaze lands on the four boys clad in a navy blue shirt and white shorts from a distance, standing before your team.
Naoi and Nekomata approaches the coach of Fukurodani, exchanging formal greetings along with some shake hands. Subconsciously starting to engage into a small talk.
Taking a few little steps forward, your E/C irises meet a set of gunmetal blue that you were so accustomed to always see. It paints a nearly unnoticeable smile across your face as you raise your hand to give him a shy, meek wave.
Akaashi smiles back to you. Comparably as small as yours, or maybe his are a little bit bigger than yours on a measly margin.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Bokuto boisterously chimes out his iconic line, both of his arms shooting up high in air and flail them around in a childish manner to wave. With a proud gait and light bounce in each hurried step he take, his long legs shuffle towards your team.
Kuroo waves back at his best buddy from the neighboring team. A small smirk adorning his lips, as his cat-like eyes watch the co-captain approach Nekoma's side with such eagerness. "Heya bro, you looked so excited to see me―"
However, the bedhead is startled out of his wits when Bokuto simply brush past him, like he's not even standing there and left him with his fist hanging above his chest level that's aiming for a fistbump.
And what's even more dumbfounding to see, not only for him, but also for the rest of your team and few of the players from Fukurodani, is the fact that ther captain head straight to approach you.
The one quiet lady manager of Nekoma who always prefer to go unnoticed, and the one he have an unfortunate first impression and encounter with.
"Y/N-CHAN!!!" Bokuto yowls in delight, his big hands grabbing you by the waists and your heart nearly drop when he suddenly lift you up from your feet, which earns a plenty of gasps and hitched breathes. Eyes widening in panic, a yelp slips out of your lips as you instinctively held onto his broad shoulders when he began to spin you around.
Good gracious. He's really this affectionate to you and treats you like his one of best of friends, now that you'd met him a grand total of three times.
"He can be touchy-touchy with Y/N-san while I still haven't held her hand at least once?!" Yamamoto screeches out in frustration, though everyone else is too busy ogling at you and Bokuto to pay attention at him. He balls up his hands, animated tears falling out of his eyes. "This is so UNFAIR!"
Nobuyuki and Shibayama, taking note of their ace's distress, commiseratively give him a consoling pat on the back along with a compassionate smile.
After what it seems like endless dizzying twirls, he finally put you back on your ground. The boy barely even giving you a second to breath, proceeds to wrap his arms around your frame next for a bear hug then rock you both from side to side. "I missed you sooooooo much!"
Your stiff body loosen up as you already get hang of his chummy persona, hand reaching for his back and tap him gently. It's your own version of returning a hug, but in a very much more awkward manner because anxiety says so. "Umm... i-it's literally been just three days since we last saw each other."
"But it feels like it's been a week..." he remove his arms around you, his lower lip jutting out into a pout. Though, it quickly morphs back into a raptured grin, as soon as it appears. "Hey, I really had fun in your place last time! Let's sleep together again some time!"
"He what now?" Yaku rasps in a low tone, his eyebrows furrowing on what he's hearing at the moment. Standing behind him, a shiver run up to Lev's spine while looking down at his upperclassman whose body were radiating a dreadful dark aura.
"Please, d-don't put it like that... they might misunderstand you." You sweat dropped, taking a step back from him. Feeling yourself getting smaller and smaller from the way everyone's eyes drill on you.
Watching and keeping an ear out from the sidelines, Konoha put a hand over his mouth, then lean closer to Komi and spoke, "I can't believe he already got laid before us... out of all the people."
To keep them from interpreting Bokuto's way of words in the wrong way, Akaashi concisely told them what the owlish captain really meant to say and by that, Konoha and Komi slowly nods in apprehension. Their mouths forming into an 'o' shape, as they both drawl out a soft 'oh'.
Whether he intended to do it or not to save you from the overbearing stares, you were thankful for Kuroo when he hauls the attention to him by playfully punching Bokuto on the shoulder. He said he couldn't believe that he was neglected because of a girl, when it's supposed to be always bro above all, to which the ace playfully punch him back and give him his frivolous retort.
While everyone's distracted by the squabble of the two that's nothing too serious of some sort, you back away until you reach behind Fukunaga and Kenma. Ducking behind the quiet players and use them to make you disappear, not really wanting to get any attention unlike the spotlight that Bokuto put you in earlier.
The friendly banter of the captains of opposing teams were cut shortly when coach Naoi order your team to stop dallying, and hurry inside their assigned room. With a boisterous reply coming from the players, you enter the school building. You managed to navigate to the classroom that's for lady managers like you to put your belongings there, with the help of a cute manager from Ubugawa that you happened to stumble upon and ask for directions. Thanking her in a bashful manner, you head out of the school building and stroll towards the gym.
Though, when you saw Kai and Kuroo just standing still outside, you ponder for a moment. Concluding that there's still a quiet plenty of time before the practice starts, you decide to stalk towards them. Curious on what they seems to be looking at, your inquisitive E/C hues follow the trail of their eyes where it's glued, only to find them set over the bus that just arrive, as foreign faces exits the vehicle one after another.
"See those guys?" Kuroo blurts, peering over his shoulder to look at you and point his finger over the last team to arrive that'll also be joining the camp. Then a smirk splays on his face. "That's Karasuno, our team's best known foe."
Both of you you turn your gaze back to them, particularly to the one with a buzz cut head. Next to him is a shorter male that sports a whacky spiked up hairdo, with a dyed blonde strands that dangles in the middle of his forehead. They were just standing still, and seemed to be staring in awe at the tower painted in red and gray from afar.
"The Skytree?!" The fascinated duo exclaims in unison, eyes twinkling in amazement.
"No, that's just a transmission tower." Nobuyuki corrects them with a kind smile, cueing Kuroo to quickly spun on his heels to turn his back on them. Doubling over, he let out a hyena-like hearty laughter that made his body tremor as he hug his stomach.
His laughter's just way too contagious, that you couldn't help but also let a soft chuckles to slip out. Internally, you concluded to yourself that Kuroo's laugh starting from this day, has now a special place in your heart forever.
"Ayo headasses, that's not the Skytree!"
Your body stiffens when that voice reach to your ears.
It's familiar.
Too familiar that wouldn't fail to recognize it even if you were thrown in the biggest crowd there'll ever be.
'No way...'
'Could possibly it be...?'
As your heart pound against your chest, you drag your eyes to the direction where the bus was parked.
There, your eyes were caught on the midway by another pair of E/C orbs and the longer your gaze stay glued together, the more you see the perfect resemblance of every features you both have. You witness how he got thunderstruck when his eyes land upon you, mouth parting to slowly mutter your name under his breath.
"Y-Y/N...?"
Who would've expect at all...
That you'll find your twin brother from Karasuno today?
