¡ twenty three

It was the first time you got to see their volleyball team in action and not gonna lie, you were pretty impressed. You didn't know they were that good, but you noticed that they still made some mistakes.
Though you mostly had your eyes on Suna and how perfect his form was.

You were glancing at Atsumu every once in a while because he was the setter and you wanted to see his techniques, you were the best female setter in middle school after all and had some tricks up your sleeve.

They were practising their spikes while Tsumu was setting the balls and Akagi, their libero, was receiving them. You noticed that Atsumu always made the same mistakes and he seemed to getting frustrated, not knowing what he could do to do better.

There was no coach because he apparently isn't on practise always.
You got up from the bench and went over to the boys.

"Tsumu!" You said, approaching him, "Can I have that real quick?" You asked nicely pointing to the ball, wanting to try something out.

"Uh sure?" He said, obviously a bit confused, handing you the ball.

"Whose turn was is? Aran?" You asked as he nodded, you gestured, that you were going to set the ball for his spike, you could see that almost everyone was a bit confused.

You threw the ball to Kita, as you were getting into position. He tossed you the ball and you tried one of your sets that always worked back then when you just had to do a simple set. You took a quick glance to Aran and quickly calculated how high and fast, in which angle you would have to toss the ball to him.

You haven't set a ball in a long time so you were just hoping that you wouldn't mess up and embarrass yourself. But you finally set the ball to Aran, whose attack was perfect. You missed the feeling of this, playing volleyball, hearing the ball hit the ground with the help of your set, and so on.

Everything was silent after the ball hit the floor on the opposite side of the net.

"So," you turned to Aran, "how was that?".

Everyone seemed to be shocked, besides Suna who was smiling to himself, "you seem to have some competition Tsumu" he laughed, you giggled at his comment while Atsumu seemed to be a bit shocked.

You looked back at Aran and Kita and waited for a response.

"That was exactly like Atsumu's sets, but it was I don't know, easier?" He said.

"Before you set the ball for Aran, you took a quick look back to him, so you adjusted the set so it was the perfect angle for him to hit, right?" Kita asked and you nodded. He's the captain, he obviously knows what he's doing and analyses everything.

You turned to Atsumu, "I noticed that you mostly do the same sets for everyone, I don't want to sound rude, but you need to adapt to the others in order to help them score the point" you tried giving him the same advice, you got years ago from your dad.

"I- can try I guess" he said with his head kind of down, if it was Osamu who would've said that, he probably would've beaten the shit out of him right now.

"Okay lets just take a quick 5 minute break guys then we can try again, k?" Kita suggested.

Aran, Ōmini and Atsumu walked to the bench to get a sip of water, while you were walking to your bag to check your phone, still no call from Michi, you grunted and rolled your eyes.

"So hows Inarizaki's best setter doing?" Suna approached you, obviously mocking you when you called him the best middle blocker a few hours ago.

"Oh shut up" you chuckled, "Michi wanted to tell me something important but ignores me now" you explained as he just laughed a bit.
You saw Kita and Atsumu approach the two of you.

"Hey y/n?" Kita asked, you hummed in response, "How did you do that so effortlessly?"

"Oh well, I was a setter in middle school" you laughed.

"Which middle school did you attend to again?" Atsumu asked pulling out his phone.

"Kitagawa Daiichi, why?" You were a bit confused on how this has anything to do with what you just said.

He typed something in his phone while Kita looked a bit confused too, "wait" he said turning to you again, "isn't that school in the Miyagi Prefecture?".

"Yea but I moved for.. several reasons" obviously you didn't want to tell them the reasons, at least not yet, they didn't have to know about past happenings.

"u-HUH" Atsumu yelled as everyone turned to him. He showed you his screen, "is this you?", he showed you a picture of you with your old volleyball team in an article you didn't even know existed.

You sighed, "I guess so" you nervously laughed, not wanting to talk about your past.

"Kitagawa Daiichi's setter l/n y/n has carried her team to another win, yet she retired from volleyball due to multiple.. incidents?" He read the article out loud, as he was looking a bit confused he kept reading as everyone was listening, "Her leg injury caused her to take a mandatory break from volleyball. Even though she was allowed to play volleyball again in highschool, the best female setter of the Miyagi Prefecture decided not-"

Suna cut him off before he could keep reading, "WELL I think that's enough" he took Atsumu's phone and turned it off.

"HEY I wasn't done reading" he said slightly pissed, "give me back my phone"

"But I was done listening" he said giving you a quick glance.

"Fine, but why did you quit though" Atsumu said.

"Yeah you could easily joined the girls team" Osamu said with his water bottle in his hand, walking up behind Atsumu.

"I- dont know I-" this was a bit overwhelming for you. You didn't really want to tell them but you still didn't want to act like all you want is attention for your 'sad backstory'.

"You're so good from what I have-" Atsumu couldn't finish his sentence and got cut off by Suna once again.

"God can't you just let it go? She obviously isn't comfortable talking about it" he said pissed, "jeez" he said throwing Atsumu's phone back to him after still holding it the whole time and walking away nodding his head slightly, gesturing you to come with him.

You followed him as Kita, Osamu and Atsumu were still talking.

"I haven't seen him that pissed in a long time" Kita chuckled a bit.

"Yup" Osamu took a sip of his water with his towel around his neck, "I don't know what she did to him" they looked at Suna and You talking, not noticing them, "But he fell hard" he laughed.
