Names~ [Akaashi x Reader]

~Chapter 16~

Nekoma was going against Karasuno for the first practice match of the day. Fukurodani was going to tally the points and be the referees. Kiyoko and Yachi were filling water bottles for the two teams, along with Kaori. (Y/N) and Yukie stayed at the gym to watch the game.

While Yukie was paying attention to the game and taking notes, (Y/N) kept fiddling with her fingers and staring unconsciously at a certain jet black-haired boy who was keeping track of points. She thought about the days they spent together; the times they would watch Bokuto from a far as he was being childish; the times he would call her 'darling' and how flustered it would make her.

Blush slowly crept onto the manager's face. Yukie looked over at the love-struck girl, she shook her shoulder lightly, "(Y/N), (Y/N)? (Y/N)?"

(Y/N) straightened up and looked at Yukie, "Uh Y-Yes?" Yukie put her hand to her forehead, "Are you ok-" a devilish grin formed on Yukie's face when she put the pieces together. "Are you ok Yukie?" (Y/N) said nervously with a smile.

Yukie gave a wide smile and nodded her head. (Y/N) looked down at her note book. She shook her head at herself when she didn't find anything written down. She quickly wrote down some notes of the teams and of each player from both Nekoma and Karasuno.

(Y/N) looked up to observe the game again, this time to pay more attention. Instead of keeping her promise her eyes drifted towards the same dark-haired boy. Akaashi was already admiring her when she was taking "notes" on the teams playing.

The two made subtle eye contact, staring into each other's eyes. Blush crept onto their faces. The corner of (Y/N)'s lip lifted up into a smile as Akaashi kept his straight face. One of the first years that was also doing points said something to Akaashi. He was pulled out of the moment and moved Nekoma's score one up.

(Y/N) looked away right after that and held her notebook close to her chest.

The Fukurodani boys were huddled around their coach, and managers. They were discussing playing strategies for the next practice match and what they should focus on. (Y/N) couldn't help but stare at the blue eyes setter for the time today, no one seemed to notice this time though.

The coach sent (Y/N) to fill water bottles after the huddle was over. She grabbed the water bottle carrier and took it to the water fountain. (Y/N) twisted off the water bottle cap and filled it up. She repeated this to the next four bottles.

While she was filling up the last bottle she was carried away with her thoughts, 'pft he doesn't like you (Y/N). I mean it's clear, he's just doing it because that's what friends do,' she rolled her eyes at herself and kept thinking 'Oikawa did that too, he was a little bit of a flirt...... but he did that with everyone.' (Y/N) shook her head wanting to keep her hopes up.

Soon she felt a cold sensation on her hand. She blinked her eyes and looked down at the overflowing water bottle. (Y/N) cursed under her breath and turned off the water.

She put the last bottle in the carrier and took it back to the gym. The way there she kept thinking about Akaashi and the love hole she fell into because of him. She pushed through the gym doors, and walked to the bench. (Y/N) set the waters down and watched the match.

After a few hours the training camp came to an end. All the teams were outside their buses, talking to each other. Plenty of numbers were exchanged with (Y/N). The Shinzen coach called out to everyone, "The next training camp is in two weeks everybody!"

Kuroo walked over to (Y/N) and had his cocky grin painted on his face, "Hey text me if you and that setter get together before we meet again." (Y/N) crossed her arms and rolled her eyes, "You wish that would happen Kuroo. See you in a couple of weeks, Rooster!"

(Y/N) walked back to the Fukurodani bus. 'You wish that would happen,' she thought to herself in a mocking tone. 'Stupid (Y/N), you probaby wish that would happen.'

She got onto the bus and made her way to the back to sit next to Akaashi. She slumped down in the seat. Akaashi glanced over at her. (Y/N) glanced back at him, "Good job today. Your sets were well."

Akaashi smiled faintly, "You did well being a manager darling." (Y/N) cheeks were then tinted with pink and mumbled a 'thanks'. Bokuto turned around to look at the two while the bus started to drive, "What about my spikes! (Y/N), were they amazing?"

(Y/N) chuckled and nodded her head, "Your spikes are always amazing Bokuto, don't worry."

Akaashi looked out his window as (Y/N) and Bokuto continued talking. He rested his chin in the palm of his hand. 'Darling...... darling?' He sighed to himself.
