Don't leave me again // Sakusa x reader

Training

Your alarm blared early morning, waking both you and Sakusa up. Your eyes fluttered open to find you were in the same position as the 'dream' you had, in Sakusa's arms. Sakusa groaned at the sound of the alarm and buried his head into your shoulder, startling you slightly. Still, you found his arms around your waist wasn't an unwelcomed feeling but you knew you had to get up. You took this chance to run your fingers through Sakusa's curly black hair. It was soft, no knots in it at all, only soft curls. You loved the feeling of it but snapped back into reality quickly.

"Omi, we gotta get up" you said, shaking him. His eyes fluttered open and he realised he was holding you. He let go quickly, pulling away with a flush of red on his face. "Sorry" he mumbled as he sat on the edge of the bed with his hand over his face to cover the blush. You giggled at his reaction, sitting up. "It's fine" you assured him before going to brush your teeth etc. Knocking before entering this time, you returned back to the room and Sakusa left to brush his teeth etc. You got dressed into school uniform and packed a separate bag with your volleyball gear. It was the first day of team practice since America and to say you were excited was an understatement. You made sure to pack the things Sakusa got you too, as well as your own separate bottle.

Sakusa had his Volleyball gear ready in a bag and you both set off walking to school together. As you got closer to the school you saw more people staring at you and Sakusa. "Uh Omi, why are they staring?" you asked him. He shrugged. "They always kind of just do that to me. Probably cos you're with me" he responded. You made an 'ah' sound before continuing into school, putting your gear into your locker before going to class and spraying your desk down.

Classes went by as normal and you found yourself getting more and more excited for training. As soon as the bell went you jumped out of your seat, practically sprinting to your locker to grab your gear and then running to the gym. It was a large gym and was split by a screen, one side for the boys training and the other for the girls.

You walked into the girls side and saw a couple of girls chatting to eachother at the sidelines. You approached them, noticing they were third years. "Uh hi, I'm y/n, a second year." you introduced yourself to your Senpai's. A girl about your height and short hair approached you. "Woah so you're the y/n l/n. You're pretty" she commented, looking you up and down. You looked down, slightly flustered. "I look forward to being teammates" you said solemnly, not wanting to make a bad impression. She laughed, slapping your back in a chummy fashion. "No need to be to nervous y/n, you can relax. I'm Ai Shindo, the captain. Just call me Ai, I don't care much for the honourifics thing."

She seemed really nice in an older sister type of way and you smiled at her. "It's nice to meet you Ai." Ai smiled back just as excitedly. "Play well" she said and pointed towards the changing rooms. You went in and found a few second and first years changing. They looked at you nervously, nobody saying anything but you noticed that girl you played with during the gym class last week. "Mai! You're on the volleyball team?"

She seemed startled you even remembered her and got flustered. "U-uh y/n! Hi! Uhm yes I'm a setter but I'm not a regular" she stuttered, saying the last part quietly. "Well I hope we can be friends" you said to her as you changed into your gear. "Woah y/n, those are some nice knee pads and arm sleeves, where'd you get them?" Ai asked you when you walked out. "Oh uh Omi bought them for me at this volleyball store" you said, smiling slightly.

"Omi? Are you talking about Sakusa?" she asked. "Yeah" you replied. "Wow, already on a first name basis huh?" she smirked. You got flustered at her insinuation and quickly corrected it. "It's not like that! I've known Omi since we were kids, he's my friend". She raised her eyebrows in a knowing fashion. "If you say so~" she sung making you giggle.

The coach arrived and introduced you to the team. "This is y/n l/n. She's gonna be the starting wing spiker from now on" he announced. "Tell them something about yourself" he said to you.

"I like noodles, I hate germs and I'm fully trained on self defence" you state. The team looked slightly confused as well as the coach."U-uhm. Something about volleyball?" the coach said.

"Oh! I'm currently the #1 female ace in America, though I've decided to play for Japan now" you said, earning a gasp from the team. "You must be crazy good" someone said.
"I heard she almost won in a match against Sakusa" someone else said.
"She's pretty" another said.

"All true claims" you said jokingly making a few people chuckle. "I look forward to playing with you all" you said, bowing.

And with that, practice started. Since it was the first day you only did serve/receive progression drills but you were informed that the Spring Interhigh was in a month and a half and that they were going to get at least 2 practice matches in before that.

Practice lasted two hours and by the time it was over it was about 6pm. You put on the itachiyama tracksuit which effectively made you look like a highlighter and left the gym. You noticed Sakusa wasn't out yet so you waited for him at the gates of the school. After about 10 minutes Sakusa walked out with Komori. "Heya y/n" Komori greeted you. "Sup Komori" you said to him.

"I'm going home now, see you guys tomorrow" he called before walking out the school gates. You started walking with Sakusa. "How was practice?" you asked him. He shrugged. "It was normal. What about you?"
"I wanna practice more" you said shortly. Sakusa smiled. "Me too."

"Wanna go to the gym?" You asked him.
He nodded. "Yeah."
