For once, you felt nervous.

Not for yourself, no- you could never be nervous if it involves you.

You were nervous for Lev. More specifically, how well the team will adjust to him and accept him as one of them.

You were currently walking with said boy, showing him to the volleyball club's gym.

"Y/n?"

You looked up at the boy, seeing him already staring down at you. "Yeah, Lev?"

"Is everyone on the team nice?"

You gave a reassuring smile. "Of course they are! They've been nothing but friendly ever since I met each and every one of them."

He sighed, some of his tenseness leaving him. "That's a relief. Do you think they'll like me?"

You thought about it for a moment, humming. "Hmm.... Well, I like you. So they should too!"

Lev blushed- your phrasing might be a bit misleading. "Y-yeah!"

Without another word being uttered between the two of you, the walk to the volleyball cub's gym continued. You and Lev eventually reached your destination, all in a comfortable silence.

You stopped right outside the door, turning to the tall boy with a sweet smile plastered to your face. "This is the club's gym. Ready to go in and meet everyone?"

Lev hesitated, nodding slowly. "Y-yeah. L-let's go."

You nodded briefly before turning back to the door, opening it without even the sightest bit of hesitation. You entered while emitting a confidence-filled aura. "I brought our new member!"

With that, all eyes were now on you... and the tall boy standing right behind you.

Lev managed to not flinch under the intense stares that were on him. In fact, he seemed just as calm and comfortable as you. "Hi, everyone! I'm Haiba Lev, pleasure to meet you all!" The long boy bowed to an almost perfect 90 degrees.

Coach Nekomata was the first to approach you two, his signature closed-eyed smile painting his face. "Welcome! It surprised all of us when Y/n here brought us a new member, and began telling us a little about you. But... it seems more shocking to actually see your height in person. You make Y/n look like an actual child!" The old coach began chuckling.

Lev looked down at you, leaning down to whisper in your ear. "Aren't you offended by that?"

You whispered back to the boy, angling your head up a bit. "Not really. You can make comments about my height too, if you'd like. Everyone does- I don't mind."

Lev straightened and laughed lightly. "Yeah, she's so short I hadn't seen her in the hall and ended up bumping into her. That's how we met earlier today."

The coach laughed louder. "She would be pretty hard to see from that height. Must hurt your neck to constantly have to look down at her!"

"It doesn't hurt, but it definitely gets uncomfortable!"

You giggled. "Ok, now that the intro is out of the way... coach? Shouldn't we give Lev a chance to show the team what he's capable of?"

Coach Nekomata turned to you, ceasing his laughter and becoming serious. "Yes. Lev, go over to the court with the rest of the team and show us what you can do."

Lev nodded as the coach walked away, sitting onto a bench so he could observe the team. Lev turned to you, a somewhat nervous look on his face.

You flashed a reassuring smile his way. "Don't worry, I think you'll do just fine. You remember everything I told you about the rules and basics?"

He gave a small nod. "I think so. But I'm still not sure if I'm ready to actually try playing...."

You attempted to pat his shoulder, but struggled slightly even while standing on your toes. "I think your form should be good enough. And even if you aren't as good as the rest of the team, we can always take time to improve your problem areas."

He beamed at you, clearly feeling better. "Ok! Let's go!"

"Good luck! I'll be watching you from the bench. As much as I'd love to help you out a bit more, I can't play and will be sitting with the coaches."

"Don't worry! I won't let you down! You'll see just how good I can be without having to play the sport!"
