** Y/N's POV **
Finally The Shinkansai event has come. Its where first years get to see the type of clubs and circles that are available. The clubs get to showcase and share more about their activities while the first years roam about freely finding a suitable club for him/her.
You walked among the crowd feeling buffled as ever. It was packed with students, plus the club "chasing" them around. The first club that went straight to you was the Concert Band. Well thats because you were in their territory. Some of them handed out flyers and bookmarks to you while the band started playing a famous Japanese piece that soothes both your ear and heart. It was melodious , how the lower brass covered the gap and supported the other instruments, how they were harmonising and listening to one another.
The mixture of silver, bronze and gold instruments reflected the ray of light making your eyes gleam. You've always loved concert bands. In fact, you were once in it too. You thought maybe if there weren't any interestig club activities, you would join it. But even so, this year, you wanted to try something different.
Next, the harmony between the sopranos and altos echoed in your ears and it was clear that it came from the Choir. They were like the concert band but instead, they use their own voices.
After circling around the school and collecting truck loads of flyers, you decided to buy a drink from the vending machine.
As the drink came tumbling down, you heard very loud and vivid sounds of a ball being smacked over and over again. The first thing that came to your mind was volleyball. But for all you know, it could probably be basketball or .....
' they dont smack basketballs .. theyre too hard. '
You were clearly trying to avoid the fact that it wasn't volleyball. Even if it was, the guy whom you like probably won't be there., right?
After getting the can of drink, the dilemma of wanting to check it out or not, haunted you.
'hNNNggggrhhhhh,, i'll just briefly look at it. '
Curiousity got into you and so you couldn't help but tiptoe your way just outside the court.
Slowly and carefully, through that tiny gap between the sliding doors, you peeped into it.
At first there was nothing until you heard a voice calling out for someone.
"SUGA!"
As the ball was slowly reaching to his palms, he got ready both physically and mentally. You could see it through his eyes; how determine he was. The seriousness in his eyes belied the sweet image of his. You were so engrossed and amazed by it that you had to slide the door even wider than before.
Swiftly, he set the ball towards the brown haired guy and with force, he spiked it easily.
" YOSH!! " the both of them shouted in unison.
But the ball that he just spiked with so much power went straight to you.
And with god's consent, He made the ball pass through those two sliding door perfectly. Resulting in you getting smack on the face by the mighty ball.
"AH FUCK MY LIFE." You cursed as you could feel yourself flying in midair backwards, literally. You could see your whole life flashing right before you as if you were about to die or something.
' how dramatic.i only got hit by a ball.'
After what felt like an eternity of dramatically flying in midair, you landed on the ground hard.
You deserved a long silence for this awkward moment. Soon, it got interrupted by someone panicking.
" AH AH !! A-ARE Y-Y-OU OKAY??? " a deep voice asked you.
You lifted your head only to see the brown haired guy rushing towards you.
"-Yeahh. I'm alright" you lied when in all honesty, you felt like dying. What kind of power does he have?
He slowly helped you to stand again but your head was still facing to the ground. The impact made your head spin terribly.
"I'm really really sorry."
"Hey, whats wrong-"
Your eyes widened and you immediately looked up after hearing the warm familiar voice.
Of course, how could you not notice him, his elegant toss and image. Why did you notice him only now? Maybe you were too engross by the mini match.
You blankly stood there, staring at this beautiful human, unable to remove your sight off him. His silver hair and white skin kinda glowed making him look like an angel. Or was it just your imagination? But you could see petals of flower dancing and swirling around him though. Yeah, totally not your imagination.
You noticed how he was staring back at you too. It was like the both of you were having a staring contest or something. His hazel brown eyes met your (e/c) eyes for the very first time. That alone made your face heat up and your heart palpitate.
"U-uhh.." the brown haired guy interrupted that blissful moment.
"A-ah! Yes. I'm alright. Im still alive so its fine." (barely alive)
The silver haired guy let out a small chuckle and you swear to god that your heart just skipped a beat.
' what was so funny anyway? '
All of a sudden you felt something cold and liquidity flowing out from your nose. Your fingers lightly touched it and soon realised that it was blood.
' way to go (y/n) '
"Ohmygod..."
"Ha ha HA. This is fine. I can handle this. hA Ah HA. "
Suddenly, a black haired guy appeared and saw your condition.
"I'll bring you to the infirmary." He panickly said.
"Its finee i can handle th---"
"Its okay, i'll bring her to the infirmary. Asahi, Daichi, you should help Kiyoko-san in handing out the flyers."
You were too busy staring at his face that you didn't notice that he actually took your hand and led the way.
HE TOOK YOUR HAND. THE GUY WHOM YOU HAD A CRUSH ON FOR YEARS, WAS HOLDING YOUR HAND.
Nothing felt normal anymore. The surrounding too was starting to spin and melt. Your body temperature couldn't contain it and you wondered if he could feel how hot your hand was. But you liked how gentle he held your hand in his.
Once you reached the infirmary, you sat on the bed while he searched for the cotton wools since the nurse wasn't there.
" sorry about that. Asahi's spike is very strong. For a girl like you to get hit by it,, it must've been very very painful. " he spoke while gently cleaning the blood away.
At this point of time, you weren't sure if the nosebleed was caused by Asahi's spike or the beauty of the guy before you right now.
"It's fine, really. Hahaha. Im used to getting hit by all sorts of ball." You chuckled.
"Ouchh. Oh well, same here. I get hit often too. At first, my nose kept bleeding profusely but after awhile, it didn't bleed anymore. I guess i'm used to it already."
You knew about this way before he told you. Afterall, you've seen him play volleyball for a really long time. You noticed how he improved overtime and how his nose stopped bleeding that often.
"I see. Playing volleyball must be tough eh?"
" Maybe. But its fun. Once you found your own strength, you enjoy every second of it. Before you know it, you're already reaching the point where you have to step down and soon graduate. " his voice changed to a somehow sad tone.
" eh?? Wait, so you're a third year? "
He only nodded in reply as he smiled sweetly.
" im guessing you're a first year? "
" Y-yes. "
"Mm good. How about joining the volleyball team?,, As a manager. "
You froze for a moment with eyes wide open. The heat rushed to your face within seconds and you were secretly hoping that your face wasn't glowing red.
" By the way; my name is Sugawara Koushi. You can call me Suga. And you are? "
" (y/n). (F/n) (l/n) " you were still blushing after he had ask you to join the volleyball team as a manager.
" a very beautiful name indeed. Well then, (y/n) , the next practice is on next Wednesday, straight after school. You can visit us here. If you don't feel like joining, its alright--"
" I'LL COME." You blurted out.
" i'll come... "
His face lit up and his eyes gleamed in delight.
"NICE. I'm looking forward to see you next week !! "
what did i get myself into.
