Yep. As expected, I slightly regretted staying up so late.

"You sure you're okay Y/n?" Kiyoko asked.

"Yeah, you look a little off." Yukie said.

"I'm fine guys. Just a little tired is all." I waved off the topic with a reassuring smile.

Honestly, I wasn't fine. No in the slightest. Last night, before I went to sleep, a BokuAka headcannon popped up on my feed. The universe must have really hated me in that moment because it had to do with 'In another Life'. So now I am devoid of any true happiness. 

Nice going me. Thanks a lot internet.

No matter, I had to get through the day and carry out my manager duties. I couldn't let one little headcannon ruin my day and potentially everyone elses'.

After getting ready for the day, the rest of the girls and I went downstairs and started preparing breakfast for the boys. For some reason, that is something we have to do at training camps. That also means we have to wake up almost a whole hour earlier than the boys, so our days started at 6am instead of 7.

I volunteered to chop up the vegetables and herbs for the omelettes. Maybe that wasn't the best thing to do when you're still tired and functioning on less than 2 hours of sleep. But hey, a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do, right?

"Kaori, don't start falling asleep again." Misaki said. 

"I wasn't! I was just resting my eyes." Kaori said defensively. 

I chuckled a little. 

The boys started trickling into the kitchen as we finished cooking breakfast.

-timeskip-

We finally had out first practice match of the training camp. It was against Fukurodani. Usually I would've been fine with this, but considering the events of last night, I was trying not to zone out or start crying.

I was sitting on the bench with Yachi and Kiyoko. By now we had won the first set. 

"Y/n? Are you sure you're okay?" Yachi asked once the boys had left to go play again. 

"I just- I can't stop thinking about it." I said, starting to get sad all over again.

"What do you mean?" Kiyoko asked, concerned.

"It's something I read. It would be easier if I just send it to you guys." I said, pulling out my phone.

"Send us what?" Yachi asked. 

"You'll just have to read it, trust me." I said, sending the link to the fanfic in the GC I made for the 3 of us.

-timeskip to after they finish the fic-

"I- I see now." Kiyoko said quietly. 

I hummed in response.

Together, Kiyoko, Yachi and I started into nothingness until the match finished and the boys walked over to us.

"Um, are you guys okay?" Suga asked.

"I feel nothing." I said.

"That was too painful." Kiyoko said while Yachi was trying not to burst into tears again.

"Why are you in pain? Do you need to go to the infirmary?" Daichi asked.

"Nothing can fill the emptiness in my soul." I said, staring at the ceiling.

"Did something happen?" Yams asked. 

"Who dare hurt our goddesses?!" Tanaka and Noya asked, ready to hurts somebody.

"You're all just being dramatic." Tsukki rolled his eyes.

"You don't get it!" I huffed.

"If it makes you feel better, you can pet my hair." Hinata offered.

"HEY HEY HEY! I heard you guys got a new manager!" Bokuto beamed, practically appearing out of nowhere.

Yachi, Kiyoko and I instantly perked up.

"BOKUTO!" I beamed as the three of us jumped up and ran over to hug him. 

"Hey pretty managers!" Bokuto grinned, hugging all three of us at the same time, making me giggle.

"You're not dead!" Yachi said joyfully.

"Of course not! I plan on living until I'm 130! Wait, is someone trying to kill me?" He asked, letting us go and looking around.

"No one's trying to kill you Bokuto." I said reassuringly.

"Oh, okay then." He smiled. 

"What about Akaashi?" Kiyoko asked.

"Yeah, is he okay?" Yachi asked.

"AGAASHI! Pretty managers wanna know if you're okay!" Bokuto shouted across the court.

"I'm fine Bokuto-san." Akaashi said in usual calm voice.

"He said he's fine." Bokuto repeated.

"Okay good." I breathed. 

"The two of you can go dying on us, okay?" Yachi said.

"I won't. I told you I plan on living until I'm 130!" He grinned, patting Yachi's head.

The 4 of us walked off and continued talking.

"Did he just steal our managers?" Tanaka glared at the back of Bokuto's head.

"Get back here with our mangers!" Noya said before he an Tanaka tried to run after us. 

Unfortunately for them, they got stopped by Ennoshita, who made  them sit down and stay put to prevent them from causing any trouble.
