Come on Kei, you thought to yourself as your boyfriend stood in the front row on the court. Today Karasuno had a practice match against Aoba Johsai. So far they weren't doing too well. The first set had already been lost to the opposing team and the second set was close. It continued to go back and forth. Meanwhile, your brother was determined to win and kept trying and trying.
This team was difficult. They had a great offense and defense. Of course, Karasuno did as well, but this team was interesting. They had amazing coordination. Although it was a practice match, the entire time you felt nervous and paranoid. You knew it didn't mean much but you wanted the boys to win. You hoped they would take this set and the next.
Tsukishima managed to score a few points with blocks and Shoyo managed to score with some spikes. You were proud of them both.
The game continued and a tall boy from Aoba Johsai served the ball, sending it straight at Daichi who managed to receive it.
"Nice receive!" shouted multiple of the boys, including the ones who weren't playing.
Kageyama set the ball towards Asahi who managed to spike it onto the floor, scoring against Aoba Johsai.
"Nice one Asahi!" cheered the team. The score was now 24-23, Aoba Johsai in the lead. If they could score once more, they might have a chance of winning. Right now, their chances were slim, very slim.
It was now Karasuno's serve and they subbed in Yamaguchi, the pinch server. You could easily tell he was nervous. His body was shaky and he was biting his lower lip, his eyes were filled with worry. From the second the whistle blew, he moved quickly and did a jump serve. The ball flew towards the net, heading towards the top. It hit the top and started to fall towards the floor. Nishinoya jumped at it, arms out.
Thump. He missed.
Everyone stared at the ball and back at Yamaguchi, mostly in shock. Yamaguchi's face was red with embarrassment. You could even feel the lump he had in his throat as he tried not to burst into tears. His mouth was agape as he stood there, shakier than ever.
Aoba Johsai then burst out into cheers and Yamaguchi's knees buckled out from underneath him. He fell to the ground, head in his hands as the other team members looked around.
You jumped up from the bench, not caring about Coach Ukai telling you to stay. You ran to Yamaguchi, sat down beside him and grabbed his hand. He supported you a few months ago and he probably needed someone now.
"Yams," you said, grabbing his shoulders to try snd sit him up. "Yamaguchi, look at me."
The freckled boy looked up, his eyes teary. He stared at you, his lower lip puckered as he fought back the tears. His gaze pulled away from you as he looked off to the side.
"It's okay, it's okay," you pulled him into a hug, resting your chin in the crook of his neck. "It's okay. Things happen for a reason. It's only the start of the season still."
"I lost it. I'm the reason we lost," his voice cracked and his arms squeezed around you tightly. You could feel your shoulder growing wet as he pressed his head against it.
"No your not. Everyone made mistakes today, I took notes. You did what you could and I'm proud of you. Wipe away your tears, get up, and go over. It's time for the ending procedure," you whispered into his ear.
He looked at you and wiped under his eyes, taking a deep breath. He shook his head and stood up, offering you a hand to assist you. You walked off the court and sat down by Coach Ukai and Takeda. They both gave you weird looks but you ignored them.
You watched as the boys lined up along the net and thanked Aoba Johsai for the game. They then gathered up around the bench to hear a word from Coach Ukai. They all looked nervous and worried, except for Shoyo who looked excited.
"You all put up a good fight. I couldn't have expected more," he paused. "But you all have a lot of work to do which we will discuss further at practice tomorrow. Stretch up so we can go home."
The boys bowed and walked off to do their stretches in silence. You began to pack the team's items, putting up the water bottles, and packing your things. You sat down, looking into your notes.
You suddenly felt arms from behind you wrap around you. You look back to see Tsukishima who places a kiss on your cheek. You smile and put your notebook down, standing up.
"Hello princess," he smiled softly before kissing you again as he pulled you closer to him.
You pushed him away gently, "Kei! You're all sweaty!"
"Yea, I get you like that in bed but I still hug you afterwards," he smirked, pulling you against him again.
You rolled your eyes and reached up to push his glasses up. "I know y'all lost but good job today handsome. I'm proud of you."
"I guess I did alright," he admitted. "You know what would make it better?"
"What?" you asked, worried about what he might say.
"Come over tonight," he said as he brushed back your hair.
You chuckled, "what for?"
"Maybe for.. a bit more of this," he whispered before he pressed his lips against yours and pushed his tongue inside your mouth. His thumb slipped under your shirt, touching the skin on your back. You were caught by surprise but went along with it, loving his touch.
"Hey hey break it up!" yelled Sugawara before his body slammed into Tsukishima. You giggled softly, covering your mouth with your hand. You watched as Sugawara smacked Tsukishima on the head, bickering with him.
"(Y/N)! Let's go!" called Shoyo from the gym lobby entrance.
You looked over at Tsukishima and blew him a kiss, waving goodbye. You walked over to the bench and picked up your bag before walking over to Shoyo.
"You an Tsuki get sooo touchy you know?" Shoyo commented once you were near him.
"I mean.. I can't help it, look at him," you say as you look back to find Tsukishima.
This time, it's different. He's with someone else, talking with them. It's a girl and she stood very close to him.
