"Kuroo..." you say with a bright red face.
He gave you a smirk and a raised eyebrow.
"We better fill these water bottles.." Akaashi said, also with a bright red face.
"I'll see you guys.." Kuroo said as he waves goodbye.
"That was.."
"Embarrassing." you finished.
Akaashi started to laugh, you jointing in.
"I guess I have to tell him now...um.."
"You weren't planing on it?" He asked.
"Well.. Eventually yeah but I just wanted to see what this was before I said anything..."
"I see..well..you can go ahead and tell him that we're dating.. If that's what you want." He smiled.
"I mean..i don't wanna push things..." You stood up straight, putting down the bottle you were refilling.
You started to fiddle with your fingers.
Staring off into space.
After a moment you felt warm hands around your own.
You were snapped out of your trance, looking Akaashi in the eyes.
"If you want to be official, I wouldn't complain. I like the idea a lot actually."
You smiled as he released your hands.
"Come on, let's get these water bottles back. Before Bokuto comes looking for us."
"Right!" you say, gathering up the bottles and walking side by side with Akaashi.
Awe man.. What's Kuroo gonna think? He's definitely gonna tease me...
Aweeee mannn that was so embarrassing!!!!
✨✨✨
The practice matches were over for the day and you were helping the other managers clean up as the boys were taking a breather outside.
You couldn't help but notice how Karasuno was doing. When they faced Fukurodani it was like they were trying new things, Bokuto had questioned them but you knew that they were trying to get stronger.
Once you were done cleaning you went outside and met up with Kurro, Bokuto and Akaashi and Lev.
They offered for you to come with them for practice in gym three.
You happily agreed.
"Alright y/n jump when I say!" Kuroo said as Akaashi set the ball for Bokuto.
"Now!"
You both jumped up and killed his spike in an instant.
"Awe man!" Bokuto cried.
"Hey nice one y/n!" Kuroo said, patting your head.
"Wow you're good! Do you play volleyball?" Lev asked.
"Oh um.. No actually.."
"I see, I guess it's just a fluke that you killed the spike, ya know cause your tall"
An urk mark appeared on your head.
"What?" Lev asked, shrugging his shoulders.
Kuroo smirked.
"Hey y/n? Why don't you toss a few serves and help this bumbling idiot with his receives."
"Gladly.." you said, while walking to the other side of the court and picking up a ball to throw.
"Hey ready Lev!" Kuroo said stepping out of the way.
"This'll be easy! Bring it y/n!"
The three other boys had stepped off the court to give you space. They watched with anticipation.
You stared at Lev for moment giving him an evil eye.
You threw the ball in the air and jumped to hit it.
Tossing a perfect jump float serve.
Lev went to receive but he missed by a long shot.
He looked at you in awe.
"Guess that was just another fluke." You smiled.
Earning snickers from the other boys.
"Give him another one!!" Bokuto yelled.
You did as he asked and tossed another perfect jump float.
Lev missing it yet again.
You smiled to yourself as you were pleased to prove him wrong.
"Awe don't you think you're holding out on him y/n? Give him a good one!" Kuroo yelled.
You looked over to him, smiled and gave him a nod.
You threw the ball a bit higher this time.
You waited for the perfect moment.
Once the ball was where you wanted it, you jumped high in the air and slammed your hand against it.
Sending the ball flying fast towards Lev.
Unfortunately he was too close to the net, being ready for your usual jump floats. The ball hit him right in the face, causing him to fall backwards.
You smiled to yourself.
"Oops.. Guess it's not a fluke.."
You looked over to see Kuroo laughing and Bokuto and Akaashi in shock.
They never actually seen your hard serves before.
"Well that's what you get Lev when you mess with y/n! I did teach her volleyball after all." Kuroo kept laughing as we walked over to the first year, helping him off the ground.
"I think you owe y/n an apology."
"I'm sorry for assuming things y/n..."
You smiled. "Its okay, just watch what you say next time!"
You ran over to Bokuto and Akaashi who also had smiles across their faces.
Bokuto gave you a double high five.
"Alright! Let's practice more!!" He jumped in the air.
"I think you killed Lev." Akaashi whispered.
You looked over to see Lev laying on the ground, covered in sweat.
"My bad..." You shrugged.
"Looks like we need a new blocker...ah speak of one. HEY YOU SKINNY! WITH THE GLASSES!"
You looked over to the door to see who Kuroo was talking to.
Soon a tall guy with blonde hair and glasses entered the gym.
He didn't look impressed.
"Isn't that guy from Karasuno?" You asked Akaashi.
"Yeah, Tsukishima."
"I see...well you have fun okay? I think I'm gonna go shower and get out of these clothes, are we still meeting up later?"
"I'll text you when I'm done here." He winked.
You smiled as you took your bag and started to exit the gym.
You were stopped by Kuroo grabbing your wrist.
"I want an explanation later..."He smiled.
You smiled back."I'll tell you everything."
