"Okay!" Coach says. You were currently all gathered in the gym. "This will be our starting lineup for the game against Nekoma." We all know the starting lineup. No explanation needed. "I know most of you have only just met. So I'm not expecting you to be in sync right off the bat. I hear there was even some kind of trouble between you guys before I got here. Anyway! Just because we have a talented libero now and our ace is back doesn't mean we're going to go out and start winning everything. The team that wins is the one that stays connected the longest. How well you guys pull that off will be determined in the crows vs. cats games."
"Yes, Coach!"
"Just getting the chance to practice a real game was no easy feat. Be sure to thank your advisor for all his hard work," Ukai says, pointing at Takeda.
"W-What?! N-no, I haven't.."
"Thank you very much!!"
Practice went by pretty smoothly. You worked on receives with Hinata, bumping and passing the ball back and forth with him.
Ukai watches, lost in thought. Then you got bored and started doing trick shots, doing rolling receives and even a cartwheel once. This distracted Hinata and he got hit in the face.
Takeda sweat drops. "(L/n)-kun's flashy tricks are really distracting," he laughs.
"Yeah.. you can't help but gravitate towards him. They're very unnecessary though. He wastes a lot of energy."
"Ah. I'm assuming you looked him up?"
Ukai nods. "That kid..." they both look at you as you stepped forward for the ball but doubled over, landing on your hands and lifting your feet up. The ball connects with the back of your heel and it flies towards Hinata, landing on the floor centimeters away from his foot. Hinata's mouth drops.
"How did you do that!!" Hinata screeches, running towards you.
"Sorry sorry! Got too carried away," you sweat drop, laughing nervously.
"He's a fucking maniac..." Ukai mumbles.
Takeda nods. "I've never seen anyone play like him before..."
"You sure he won't join the team?"
"Don't bother," Daichi chimes in from where he was practicing nearby. "We've tried for the past year."
Ukai and Takeda fall silent, going back to watching you practice with Hinata. You didn't do anymore flashy tricks and settled for regular passes.
Practice ended and you helped the guys clean up. Sweat trickled down your face and you wiped it off with your shirt. Suga and Tadashi, who were nearby, jolted and felt their faces heating up.
"Asahi-San!" Noya stomps up to the glass hearted ace.
"Yeah..?"
"Never mind suga... you'd better not be feeling sorry for Ennoshita too."
"Wha?!" Ennoshita turns around, still holding the mop.
"This isn't a game of nicey-nice, y'know! The best player gets to be out on the court! Period! That's the way this goes!"
"Um... w-well. To be honest, it isn't as if I've been giving my all to the club this entire time either. I did run away that one time. So, um..."
"When youre stronger and better than Asahi-san, then you'll get to steal that spot from him fair and square! Right, chikara?"
"Huh?! W-wait, I didn't say that—"
