Volleyball Captain // Ranboo x Reader

One

"Ah~ Y/n, ready to lose yet another match?"

The tall brunette looked down at you with a cocky grin, engaging you.

"You see Ranboo, that's where you're wrong. We're not going to lose Ranboo, me and my team are completely immune to your charm now: your flirting tactics won't work."

You groaned and spun on your heel, heading towards the girls' locker room before looking back to see Ranboo snickering with Tommy and Tubbo. The last match was in half an hour, and as much as you hated to admit it, you and your team were not ready. You pushed open the door to be greeted with with giggles form your team swooning over the opposing team's captain.

"Listen up everyone, as I'm very well sure you all know, today is L'manburg High's finale for the volleyball competition. If we win this we go to state championships. So please, for the team's sake, refrain from swooning over Ranboo. He's a jock, I get it, he's popular, I get it. But he wouldn't bat an eye for any of us, he doesn't give a shit about any one here's feelings for him."

The team looked offended, well except Caiti and Niki, your best friends. Most of them scoffed before going back to squealing and looking at Ranboo's Instagram, Snapchat, etc. You turned to Caiti and Niki, who looked both excited and nervous for the upcoming match. They knew of yours and Ranboo's rivalry, neither knew how far you'd go to win though.

You spent the last of the 25 minutes going over tactics, positions and warming up. The anxiety only really set in when you entered the gym, the bleachers were filled to the brim, overflowing even, and they went wild. Ranboo's team were already ready, the members doing some own individual stretches in their area. Ranboo eyed you up upon your entrance, sending a menacing grin your way before winking to the three girls who swooned over him.

"Get ready to loose Y/n,"

You scoffed, trying your best to not let his tease get to your head. You took a couple deep breaths before being passed the ball. It was your serve. You lined up you arm waiting for the whistle to blow.

**whistle**

Your arm swung, knocking the ball. It went over, thankfully. Tubbo dove in for the first dig, Tommy following suite. The ball flew over to Ranboo's direction and he hit it over the net with ease. It went towards Bella, oh no. Ranboo was winking at her, causing her to nearly miss the ball. Niki rushed over to help her, reviving her poor bump with a much stronger one. The ball headed over to you as you hit it over. It headed towards Jason, who was distracted by the girlfriend in the bleachers, causing him to miss the ball. It hit the floor, your point.

"Jason, please pay attention. We can't loose".

"Neither can we."

Ranboo lectured his teammate as you muttered to yourself. Niki was next to serve, she was by far the best on your team and often got you a point with only her throw. She looked to the referee who urged her to start. She flung her arm towards the ball, sending the ball truly over the net. The only one on their team really paying attention was Ranboo, he rushed over to dig the ball before calling over Max to take it, he followed suite. Max took the ball from Ranboo and Wisp got ready to bump it over the net. It came over very fast, Ethel reacting by giving a set; Adelynne dove in for a dig but missed. The ball hit the floor.

"Shit."

The tall boy giggled as the ball was passed to his side. It was Max's serve, he wasn't the best. The ball hit the net.

Your point.

The score was now 1-1, one set to go to determine who wins. You were almost shaking with anticipation. If you lost, it'd be the end of it all.

Your score for this set was 3-3, with only five minutes left of the final set. Your breath shook. You were about to serve, Ranboo stood closest to the net. Your arm swung as the ball flew over, he immediately responded with a spike sending it back over the net. It came towards you as you hit it back with a set. Tubbo hit it back over as Caiti came rushing forward to the right of the net sending it back. Ranboo gently smacked the ball with the palm of his hand as it came straight towards your face. You stepped back in order to bump it.

These one-hits continued for the last few minutes of the game. With only 20 seconds left you panicked, Ranboo's team held the ball. Your eyes were glued to the timer not noticing the ball go in your direction, hitting the floor.

**whistle**

Ranboo cheered at his victory, his best friends screaming and hugging him. Niki and Caiti came over to you as you stood there in disbelief.

"I can't believe it. The biggest match we've ever had and I get distracted by the fucking clock. I could've hit it, we could've won."

You beat yourself down as Caiti and Niki comforted you.

"What was this about 'not loosing', Y/n? I don't know if you can't tell but I won."

Ranboo sneered, strutting over to collect his prizes, you followed to get your second place trophy. Ranboo nudged you as you both stood next to each other. You groaned and left the gym, going home in despair.

It was all over.
