♪ I've added the music in the media. It's an ost from Haikyuu! itself and this one background music boosts me to a level I can't explain. I really recommend you read this chapter with this background music. ♪

Akaashi and Bokuto show you around the whole court. As they do, you notice those small things you've always missed about the volleyball court. The skidding shoes, the ball hitting the court floor, sun rays falling in from the windows on the top of the court.

The ball, the net, the polished wood, everything feels so comforting to you, ecstacy is a word too small to describe what you feel now.

It feels like finally that load you carried on your back has been removed. You can breathe, walk straight, keep your head high, and smile.

You feel so much more relived now that you can hold the ball, to be a part of the team.

As Bokuto explains the parts of the court and what all have to be done before every practice, you perk up and listen. You don't notice, until you see Akaashi staring at you.

You've been grinning from ear to ear, all that time. Heat builds up, and you feel your face burning. You look away as you smile to yourself.

The owl looking captain then gathers all his teammates, who had been practicing. They all quickly fall into a straight line, and introduce themselves.

Bokuto turns to you, "Y/n san, our court is like our home. And we are entrusting you with this home we treasure." He says with a pleasant smile, "Please take good care of us."

And the whole team bows. You bow down and when you stand back up, your eyes have tears. They aren't tears of pain or sadness anymore. They are tears of relief, of happiness.

This is it! I will give my best to this team. And I will never give them a chance to be disappointed.

"I look forward to working together as a team!"

Practice goes well, you keep yourself busy all through it. Each and every player is different, unique in their own way and you give your level best to learning them.

You make notes, and try analysing which strategy would best suit their matches, even though they already might have it sorted.

As you clean up and get your things and head towards the door, you notice the evening sky show itself in light shades of orange and pink.

All the members had already left for the day, only Bokuto and Akaashi were still at the door.

"Akaashi, look, isn't the sunset pretty today too?" Says Bokuto, his voice surprisingly calm and breathtaking.

You quietly watch them from a distance inside the court as they admire the sunset. There is that restlessness in you, you want to know more about the leader.

While at Nekoma you've heard about him, he's one of the top 5 players in Japan. His figure says so too. But his personality shouts something entirely different.

He is just an ordinary boy, who is crazily in love with volleyball, needs constant attention from whom he holds dear and needs nothing but recognition and love from them. That's who he comes off as.

"Hmm, yes Bokuto San." Akaashi agrees.

You walk towards them, and peek over their shoulders to get a glimpse of the sunset. Unknowingly your right hand brushes against Bokuto's hands, and the next thing you know is a loud, scared scream, you feel pain run up your left arm and a loud thud!

You open your eyes to find Bokuto had jumped down the stairs and outside the court. His posture looked like he was going to pick fight with a kid, his fists balled up and positioned in front of his face.

On the contrary, Akaashi was on the floor, slowly rubbing his shoulder he hurt in the fall. You had bumped into Akaashi and he had fallen down, because......

"Bokuto San why would you push our manager ??!!" Akaashi questions Bokuto in disbelief.

"I didn't see her," he replies timidly, almost making you feel sorry for him. "And when her hand touched mine....." his sentence trails off.

You hold in the giggle that threatened to leave your mouth if this conversation went any further. Akaashi looked like an angry parent scolding his little son.

"It's fine. Let's head home now." Akaashi tells. "Y/n san aren't you heading home now too?"

"Oh yes, I'll be going now."

"Let's go together then, Manager San!!!!!" Bokuto excitedly says. At this he starts marching ahead, and the calls out for Akaashi and me to follow.

You give a slight nod and smile at how enthusiastic he sounds after such a tiring day. His positive energy seems to reach Akaashi as well, you see him smile.

"But Manager San!" Bokuto turns back to you and Akaashi, " the other day after you gave that amazing serve, why did you run away?"

You freeze on spot. He had called your serve amazing, and getting that from a top player is something worth rejoicing about. But.....

He saw me serve? Did the whole volleyball team see me serve?
