Vixen Libero

Ch.34 Space

The whistle blows as the 6 that are on the court raised their hands in victory. Huddling together to celebrate before lining up to shake hands.

Mishi sighed in relief since they didn't lose yet. Although she wanted to be comforted and felt lonely, wondering if Atsumu was here or worrying if he's alright. She put on the best smile she could get as she clapped for the girls who lined up in front of her. Her classmates followed suit with cheering and congratulating them for advancing into the Top 8.

Kimika sighs in relief and felt a little exhausted but starving. She saw a few photographers and journalists on the way out to the storage room where her lovely snacks are stored away securely.

"Princess."

She turned and smiled, running up to hug him after wiping visible sweat on her face, neck, and arms. He grinned before tucking a few strands behind her ears. His dull gray eyes brightened a bit as he dig into his pockets to fish out snacks of his own for her.

"Huh!?" She exclaims, "Samu's sharing out his snacks? What's this?" She playfully examined the snacks in his hand as if it were evidence to a crime scene. Osamu chuckled beofre shoving one to her lips for her to take it.

"Princess looked hungry on the court." He states before enjoying her opening up to snack on it.

"Hey Mika."

Kimika smiled with her mouth full and waved to Atsumu who's hands are fisted in his pockets. To Kimika, her best friend looked tired in his eyes. "Good job." Is the only words he mustered. Maybe he's envious of her advancing into the Quarter Finals.

She hums in response before touching his arm to get his eyes on hers. "How ya feeling? Did you spoke to Mishi yet?"

Atsumu frowned and averted his gaze. Osamu gave them a deadpanned look. "Mishi......uh, no.." Kimika and his brother knew that Atsumu is an ass with words. Not only does he not listen to Osamu, return things, and lies; he sucks at apologies. Kimika pursed her lips but nods in understanding. "I'm fine."

"No, yer not."

"Shut up."

Osamu shrugs and continued to stare at Kimika for attention as if it's her turn to care for Atsumu by asking him other questions in which he was comfortable with responding with a few words.

People were walking by around them as Mishi left the 1st years who came back from the storage to change into their other jerseys for the Quarter Finals. She wanted to hang out with Kimika but as she spotted her older friend's silver black hair in the midst of others, she froze. With her foot dangling in the air for a second before standing frozen to see blonde hair and grey. Osamu saw her first and that's when Mishi's heart skipped a beat and thought he'll inform his brother.

Turning the other way because her stomach ached with butterflies and her heart pounded.

Osamu blinked and was a little annoyed with Atsumu receiving Kimika's time. Elbowing his brother for his attention he pointed with his chin to where Mishi ran off to.

"Ya should go ta her and leave us alone." His bluntness struck Atsumu in annoyance as he gritted his teeth and swing an arm around Kimika who was done with eating her snacks. Yelping in response as she noticed Osamu clenching his teeth and eyebrows twitching.

"Get ya own best friend. Why can't I speak with Mika, huh?" Atsumu sticks his tongue out as Kimika sighed in response before patting his arm around her shoulder.

"Tsumu, I'm sweaty..." She warns in which he comes off and made a disgusted look.

"Yea ya are, ew." He teased as she huffed before turning around to walk away.
