Volleyball Captain // Ranboo x Reader

Five

"Hey, can we talk?"

You turned to see Ranboo's tall figure. His grip of your wrist was gentle but he looked rough, almost as if he was crying yesterday. You nodded your head as he led you to the gym.

"Y/n, as much as I hate to admit it, I feel terrible for winning the match. I know how much you wanted to win, volleyball's your passion. So, after lots of complaining about feeling bad to Tommy and Tubbo they came up with an idea. Why don't you join our team? Max was thinking of quitting anyways, so it's perfect. You would be co-captain! So, what'd ya say?"

You thought about it for a moment, you had no idea if Ranboo was just playing you or not, trying to humiliate you. Volleyball was your passion, your life was practically dedicated to it. If he was serious about you joining his team, you'd go to state championships, you could win and play professionally! You thought for a second more.

"Okay, sure."

"Yay! With you on our team we'll have a much higher chance of winning!"

Ranboo jumped and wrapped his arms around you, you flinched. You stood frozen waiting for his to remove his grip. He noticed your discomfort and removed his arms quickly. You gave him a short smile before trying to head off to lesson, though got stopped by a quick tap on the shoulder.

"About making it up to you, when are you free?"

"Oh, well I'm not doing anything tonight-"

"Great! It's settled then, I'll pick you up at 5."

And with that, he strutted away. You finally headed to art, surprisingly not being late. You sat in your seat and opened your sketch book, today was focusing on basic shading with a HB pencil. You chose a photo to work on from your phone, it was a selfie of you, Niki and Caiti at the sleepover the previous night. You smiled at the picture before you began sketching the basic shape.

"Very good, Y/n, it almost looks like a print out of the image!"

Your art teacher praised your sketch as you smile and dug into the details, hoping that you wouldn't butcher your friends. You were one of the first to finish in the class. You loved art, just as much as you loved volleyball and you were very much talented in the field. You had some time to waste before class finished, so you just began a simple sketch of Wilbur, he was pretty famous so you sketching him wouldn't be too suspicious, either way you say on your own so no one would ask questions. So you thought.

"Uh, Y/n, is that my brother?"

Shit. Tommy had come to the back of the class to ask you what Ranboo was talking about earlier as he was curious, but he was greeted with a girl drooling over his one-year-older brother instead. You had the perfect excuse though.

"Yes Tommy, your brother and his band happen to be my favourite so I decided why not sketch every member to show appreciation? Wilbur's the lead singer so I started with him."

You smiled innocently at the fellow Junior, he seemed to believe you.

"Thank goodness! I thought you were just one of the girls who was crazy over him, I mean if you were that would really upset Ranboo seeing as-"

"What?"

Tommy realised what he had just said so he said a quick 'goodbye' before waving and running off to Tubbo and Ranboo, the shorter one of the two awaited answers from Tommy as Ranboo didn't tell them himself. You shrugged it off and went back to your drawing, you started doing the hair, it was a tedious proccess and took you to the end of lesson.

Your next few lessons went by rather quickly and it was finally lunch. You made your way over to Niki, Caiti following you. She smiled at your entrance and greeted you both.

"How've your guys' lessons been?"

"Chaotic."

"I can't agree Y/n, but why?"

Niki and Caiti looked and you quizzically as you searched to see if Ranboo or any of his friends were nearby, they weren't luckily.

"Okay well, first period: Quackity was asking about me and Ranboo and trying to prove how we love each other. We don't by the way, just clarifying. After first period, Ranboo pulled me aside and asked if I wanted to join his team for volleyball as Max wanted to quit but said it was Tommy and Tubbo's idea. Anyways, after that he asked to hang out at 5 and for some dumb reason in my awkwardness.. I accepted."

The girls shrieked, drawing attention to your table and you tried to hush them as best to your ability. They said that they'd come over to help you get ready for your date with Ranboo.

"It's not a date."

"Is too."

"Okay, so say you dress me all up for this 'date' that you're so convinced I'm going on and he shows up in sweatpants, what happens then?"

"Then, you guys make out and confess your undying love for each other and get married."

"Okay one, ew! Two, that's the singlehandedly most stupid idea you've ever had Caiti."

"I'll ask Tommy if he knows anything, I sit next to him next period. Oh, I really hope it's a date!"

Caiti and Niki squealed to each other, you just looked down and smiled to yourself. Just then, a deep voice interrupted your thoughts.

"So Y/n, I hear you're going on a date with Ranboo tonight?"

It was Wilbur, oh god. A pink-haired person stood next to him, Techno. Wilbur's eyes were so soft, his expression was calm and his cheeks were perfectly tinted with a pink.

"Oh, um.. well it isn't a date. He just invited me to hang out!"

You smiled at Wilbur, getting lost in his features, he smiled back, before allowing the pinkette to speak.

"Listen, Y/n, I know you're a good person but don't break Ranboo's heart, he's a good kid and he's like a brother to us."

"Techno! You sound as if you're threatening the poor girl! What we're saying is please be careful with him, the boy admires you."

Confused, you nodded and waved them off.

"So, your crush's 'little brother' has a crush on you, how ironic."

"Niki, I don't have a crush on him.. I just think he's cute, like a lot of people in this school. And you know I'd prefer not to date someone who's going to college in a few months, it just wouldn't work."

You avoided the topic of Ranboo having a crush on you, his own brother figure practically confirmed it, you sighed and the bell rang signalling the start of next period, only two more to go before schools over. Biology and.. English with.. Mrs. Puffy.
