Eleven

"[Nickname]-chan!"A young boy with chocolate brown eyes called. His thick brunette hair was curled up at the ends. He held a white, red and green volleyball in his hands as he waited for a response eagerly. He was missing a couple of teeth here and there but it never seemed to bother him.

"Tooru-nii!" A [Hair Color] young girl slid the glass door open, and stepped out shyly to the backyard. This spreads a toothy grin from the boy as he raised the ball above his head.

"Let's play!"

[Name] smiled upon the memory. It's been years since she last saw him and he sure grew a lot taller. Apparently, he became a whole lot more popular with the girls too. "Time sure flies..." She mumbled to herself as she watched him do his warm ups. She then wondered how his volleyball skills were and if they had improved.

The score was 20-24 and Karasuno was at match point. Weirdly, Oikawa was still not in the game. "Don't get cocky!" Player #6 exclaimed as he jumped into the air and spiked, sending the ball right towards Tsukishima who wasn't able to receive it properly. That gave a point to Aoba Jousei.

"Kindaichi, nice!"

"Don't mind, Tsukishima!"

The whistle sounded and Aoba Jousei had swapped their players. Finally, Oikawa was going to be on the court. This caused the crowd of fangirls to scream and cheer for the charming captain. [Name] perked up, finally being able to see him play after years of missing out.

He stood at the end of the court with the white, green and red ball in his hand. He raised his hand and pointed at the other end of the court, where Tsukishima was standing. This puzzled almost everyone in the court, especially Tsukishima who was targeted.

He tossed the ball in the air and ran after it, followed by a jump and a powerful slap to the ball. The entire court echoed the loud thud from the impact. This caused [Name] to gasp at the power of his serve. So strong... The ball sped towards the tall blond, who clenched his teeth and tried to receive it but it bounced off his arms, painfully, and hit the railings of the balcony, nearly hitting a few spectators.

"Just as I thought." Oikawa said with a hand on his hip. "I watched part of the match... You, #6 and you, #5. You're not good receivers, are you? You must be first years." He smiled.

"A-Amazing!" [Name] breathed. "That amount of control over the ball..." A frown spreads across Tsukishima's face while Hinata was almost overwhelmed by the setter's presence.

"Okay, let's score another one." Oikawa said as he turned around with the ball in his hands. He tossed the ball in the air and did a powerful jump serve once again. The serve was aimed at Tsukishima once again and this time, Tsukishima tried to save it again but only for the ball to bounce off.

"Tsuki!" Yamaguchi exclaimed, his face blue from horror at the fact that Tsukishima hasn't been able to receive properly.

"Damn." The tall latter cursed, feeling frustrated by now. He's only been in the game for less than 5 minutes and he's already got Tsukishima to react like that... [Name] thought. He really has worked hard since we last were together...

"Hey! You, Grand King!" Hinata exclaimed, causing heads to turn. Grand King...? Where did that nickname come from? "Aim at me! I'll receive it! Aim here!" He fussed, jumping around. [Name] sweat dropped.

"What are you trying to do, Hinata?" She shook her head.

"Stop raising a fuss. It's embarrassing." Tsukishima said, causing the ginger to pop a vein.
