The Little Dragon / Haikyuu!!

Spilt drink and a french fry

Reo pushed the buttons begrudgingly on the soda machine and she purchased another energy drink. She had stayed up for hours last night, telling Tendō everything that had happened so far at Karasuno.

"HUH? you're on the BOYS team?" He jumped up, flailing, "With BOYS?"

"No, with Shrek and the rest of his fairytale friends. Of course with boys, dumbass." She reached over and stole one of his snacks. "They all seem pretty nice so far. Very energetic, but that will go down well when it comes to matches."

"Matches? Karasuno haven't even come close to winning for years, so good luck with getting a lot of matches in." He chuckled passive aggressively. He had always complained about his little sister not attending Shiratorizawa. He had wanted to watch her following in his shoes so he could see her grow up and make friends- but he would never say that out loud. After Reo's little incident at Kitagawa, not many good high schools were about to accept her. As a matter of fact, Reo did get an offer for Shiratorizawa, but they said that she would not be able to access extra curricular clubs as a result of her previous suspension. Tendō knew what Reo was like- it was volleyball or nothing. He was certain she was going to make a career out of it, but for him- he was going to pursue a different path after High school. Volleyball would never not be a part of his life though, after all, what kind of a brother would he be if he didn't cheer on Reo at all of her matches? He'll do the same for Ushiwaka too, that's for sure.

"You know we got the 'King of the court' on our team, too?"

"Oh?" He stopped chewing, "That one guy who screams at his teammates for being shit?"

Reo scoffed. "I can't imagine him screaming. He's so quiet in practice, he just glares and looks as if he's picturing all the ways he could kill Hinata and get away with it in his head."

"Sounds like a guy who knows how to have fun."

She leaned back onto a blossom tree as she took a sip of her drink, then continued to eat her lunch. The grounds at Karasuno were spacious and there were lots of places to eat in the sun.

"I will not have you drinking those abominations, Little Dragon!" Tanaka suddenly appeared and whacked the drink out of her hands, "Do you know how much sugar is in this?"

"Thats one way to sound like a middle aged man, tanaka. And who the hell is Little Dragon?" Reo frowned, staring at her now spilt drink in mourning. Her only source of energy...gone.

"I'm going to introduce you to the best smoothies in Japan. They're better for you." Tanaka picked up her bag and began walking, the first year chased after him- taking that as her cue to follow. She wondered if Tanakas voice was naturally this loud, or if he was just deaf. "And Little Dragon is my new nickname for you, I figured you need one now since were gonna be best pals. Plus it's a pretty badass sports alias, don't you think? I came up with it because of your hair, and also you can be a little scary."

Reo only gave him a weird look in response, shoving his shoulder as they walked to replace her drink.

"Please." Reo laughed, a real, cackling laugh as Tanaka posed, flexing his arms. He had just finished explaining to her that once they win nationals, girls will be 'throwing themselves at him.' His words. "My guy, the only way you're ever gonna get laid is if you crawl up a chickens ass and wait." She continue to cackle at her own insult, not noticing Tanaka stop flexing as he gawked.

"That was harsh!" He stropped as he finished his smoothie. "What did you think?" He motioned to the drink.

She hummed and nodded as she finished her own off. "It was definitely a good replacement."
