arrivals for training camp!

"sugiyama, can you go greet fukurodani with tetsuro and manubu?" coach nekomata asked.

"of course, sir!" nanako replied, grabbing the clipboard from the bench before joining kuroo and coach naoi at the gym entrance.

a week had passed by quickly and before they knew it, it was the first day of training camp. nanako had spent the time diligently arranging an after hours showering schedule, assigning classrooms for boarding, and meal planning for the teams.

the fukurodani managers had added nanako to a group chat, which included the team managers from each team that would be participating in the training camp. the nekoma manager quickly made friendships with all of the managers, particularly with karasuno high's new manager, yachi hitoka.

after kuroo confronted the girl about her feelings towards shotaro, nanako avoided making any eye contact with the outside hitter during practice and in the halls. although she still talked to him, she couldn't afford to meet his gaze, knowing that she would immediately become a flustered mess the moment she saw her favorite pair of eyes.

"look at him, jumping around in a moving vehicle," kuroo snorted.

nanako followed the team captain's line of sight to find bokuto smushing his face against the window while waving his hands rapidly. she could tell that all the yelling coming from his mouth annoyed the rest of the team, as they all had irritated looks on their faces.

as fukurodani unloaded their things off of the bus, kuroo and nanako walked up to the players while coach naoi conversed with coach yamiji.

"hey, hey, hey! kuroo and yama-nana!" bokuto shouted.

nanako's eyebrow twitched at the nickname. "bokuto-san, please refrain from yelling," akaashi said. "we just got off the bus."

"sugiyama! it's nice to see you again!" shirofuku exclaimed with suzumeda behind her.

"ah, shirofuku-san and suzumeda-san! it's nice to see you too!" nanako responded with a smile.

"let's go into the gym, shinzen and ubugawa aren't here yet," kuroo instructed.

the fukurodani players followed kuroo and nanako with their belongings in their hands. "what about karasuno?" bokuto asked.

"coach nekomata said that they'll arrive later, since the ride is long from miyagi to tokyo," the nekoma captain answered. "yama-nana, can you show them their rooms?"

"yes, but please stop calling me that," nanako grumbled. kuroo only sent a lazy grin.

"follow me."

the first-year team manager led the fukurodani players up to the third floor. "you'll be staying on this floor with karasuno and nekoma. shinzen and ubugawa are on the second floor."

nanako opened the doors to two classrooms. "volleyball players are in 3-3 while managers are in 3-1," the nekoma manager instructed. "please feel free to use the showers down the hall or the locker rooms in the volleyball gym to change!"

"thank you, yama-nana!" bokuto beamed.

akaashi sighed as he watched his team captain pull futon after futon from the pile nanako folded in the corner of the classroom. "sorry about the nickname calling, sugiyama-san."

"please call me sugiyama! i'm a first-year, after all," nanako replied, waving her hands as reassurance.

she heard footsteps coming from the staircase and turned around to face the newcomer. "sugiyama! can you show shinzen their rooms?" yaku asked.
