Let's start with our precious cinnamon roll mehehe.
Background of story:
You have always been in love with Hinata ever since you watched the match between Yukigaoka Junior High and Kitagawa Daiichi. Because of that you became a manager in the volleyball club of Karasuno and have always supported him.
ANGST
______________________________________________________
"Good work everyone! Let's get some meatballs! My treat!" you exclaimed, pointing your thumb to your chest.
"Uwahhh!!! (F/N)-chan is the best!" Hinata clenched his fists and showed you a puppy face, receiving a smack from Kageyama, "Boke! At least say thank you before complimenting (F/N)-chan!"
You chuckled at the two dorks, "It's okay Kageyama, I don't like it when you guys are too formal with me anyways!"
You turned away, blushing a little. "Oh my god. I can't seem to stand that sparkly eyes of him. Cute, too cute, cuteness overload." you thought while walking outside the gym, following by the Karasuno team.
...
"BYE BYE (F/N)-CHAN! SEE YA TOMORROW!!" Hinata waved his hands at you while jumping up and down.
"Bye! See you in school tomorrow!" you waved back at him. You couldn't feel your heart anymore, it's probably broken after pumping so damn fast when you saw that cute little shrimp jumping around like a puppy, a small, fluffy puppy.
You then continued your journey back home. After a few minutes, when you're at your house gate, you saw a familiar figure in front of your house, presumed to be waiting for you. Shimizu Kiyoko, the pretty manager of the volleyball team.
"(L/N)." she seemed emotionless - not that kind of emotionless like she always was, that kind of emotionless where you knew she wanted to tell you something serious - something not good, perhaps.
"Yes, Shimizu-san? Do you need anything?" you couldn't help but look a little tense as both of you have never talked much in private; you only talked in the club,mostly about the team.
"Urm... I know this is random, but..." she started to avoid your eyes.
"Why do you want to be the manager?" she shifted her vision back to you.
"Isn't it obvious? That's because I want to witness the rise of Karasuno! I want to witness the moment where we are once more recognized as a power house!" you're relieved when she asked you the question; you thought she was going to either kick you out the volleyball manager team or tell you that she has feelings for Hinata. Even though the second outcome was unlikely.
"Oh... okay... thank you for your time." she bowed and left. You were confused, but you didn't think much about it.
-the next day-
Humming your favorite tune, you skipped to the school cheerfully, as always. Everything was fine and normal until lunch break.
That moment that made your heart jolted, in terror, and in confusion.
That moment where you saw Shimizu going around asking if anyone wants to be the new manager of the team.
"Huh? I thought... I am the manager...? Wh-why is Shimizu-san... looking for another manager...?" You stood there, frozen.
Until you felt a pat on your shoulder. You turned around, eyes were soulless, body still stiff from the confusion.
Tsukishima.
"Oi, are you okay? What is going on? I thought you're the new manager?"
"I... have no idea what's going on." you faked a smile, trying to act normal.
"Huh? That's strange..." he mumbled while walking away from you.
-(I'm sorry for all the time skips)-
For the next few days you were all depressed and down, no one knew why - you didn't know either. However, being the exuberant person you are, you quickly recovered after a week.
"Hello!" you chimed in the gym and... you saw an unfamiliar figure in the gym, a small, blonde girl hiding behind Shimizu.
"Kya!" your sudden appearance may had frightened her. She jolted and grabbed Shimizu's arm.
"(L/N), this is our new manager, she is a first year as well."
"Hi-Hi! My n-name is Yachi Hitoka..."
You couldn't hear anything. Your ears rang - what happened? You thought you was supposed to be the new manager that would take over Shimizu's place after she finished her third year...
"(L/N)-chan, can we talk outside the gym?" Sugawara patted you on your shoulder while Daichi looked at you with concern - or actually, pity.
You, Daichi and Suga were outside and there was a awkward silence. Before neither of them said anything, you broke the silence,
"Why? What happened? How come?" You felt tears in your eyes.
"So you see, (L/N)-chan... We feel like you... urm..." Suga scratched his head, foreshadowing the upcoming bad news.
"We feel like it would have been better if you were't our manager." Daichi's words broke your heart. You felt it throbbing.
"You see... we need someone... urm... better to help us out..."
Drip. Before he finished his sentence, your tears started dripping down.
"Gyakk! (L/N)-chan pl-please don'r cry!" Suga panicked while Daichi remained calm and stoic.
"Ah... I see... So I am not good enough for your team, captain?" the male was shocked by the sudden formality. You have never called him a "captain".
"No... it's not that..." Daichi seemed to start panicking.
You stomped inside the gym, ignoring him. The gym containing a team of people - none of them noticed you. They were too focused on the new, better manager. You glanced at the orange-haired male. He was going around her, too. You turned away, slamming the door close when you left.
"Huh? Wa-was that (F/N)-chan...?" the sudden slam seemed to grab Hinata's attention.
"Where is she... WUUOOHHH YACHI-SAN YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE US A POSTER!?!? YOU'RE THE BEST!" your disappearance certainly didn't bother him.
For the whole afternoon, you stayed in a coffee shop, all alone, thinking about what you've done wrong - all you wanted was to stay beside Hinata; that's all you wanted, is that too much to be asked for? When you're in your deep thoughts, the waiter interrupted you,
"Sorry, miss. We're closing, it's 6pm."
You grabbed your bag and dragged your lifeless body out the coffee shop just to break your heart
"Tch, high school couples nowadays... PDAs everywhere..." you heard a college student beside you mumble.
"Ahh... I see... she's better anyways..." you thought, tears dripping down again.
-Time skip-
For the previous few days, you had tried using different excuses to talk to Hinata in school, but only to be informed that he was with Yachi Hitoka in class 4.
Rumors had it that they were dating.
-Another time skip-
It's been a few months since you last talked to anyone from the volleyball team.
You mindlessly wandered around the train station, and suddenly,
Him.
"Ah-ah I'm sorry! Huh? (F/N)-chan? ... I mean (L/N)-san..." the formality broke your heart.
"Hinata-kun." you greeted him, trying to think of something to talk about in order to continue the conversation.
"Gyak! I left my lunch box in Yachi-san's home!" he turned around, sprinted away from you.
His lunch box, in Yachi's home. That seemed to have explained all the rumors crap.
In your train, you saw a poster. A poster of Hinata's figure - you could tell that it was him within seconds.
"The crows head back into the nationals. The Little Giant returns"
That's why the team had gotten funds, huh. Your eyes shifted down and...
"designed by Yachi Hitoka"
Everything seemed to unravel itself now - everything suddenly made sense.
You were good but she was better.
You used to be important but now you're unimportant. You used to be irreplaceable but she replaced you.
(L/N) (F/N) was never heard again in Hinata's high school life. Yachi Hitoka replaced it all.
