KEEP IT IN THE FAMILY - MULTI CROSSOVER A.U

Chapter Eleven

Shibayama had always been a quiet child with no confidence in himself even after he had started high school. He had always loved volleyball and his father had helped him practice everyday. It was his dad who had steered him towards the role of libero, as he was quite small and agile and believe it or not he was fast, very fast.

Before he applied for high school he decided that he wanted to go to a few matches were the schools that he was interested in were playing.

The boy sat with his dad to watch the first match, it was Karasuno v Aoba Johsai. Both of their liberos were due to move up into their second years and they were both amazing. Although Shibayama was mesmerised by Nishinoya Yu from Karasuno, he was amazing, so energetic and he was oozing charisma. "Dad I think I wanna go to Karasuno" the boy stated trying to not get too over excited.

"Look son, Nishinoya Yu is probably one of the best libero's around but do you want to see the libero who he thinks is the best?" Shibayama nodded his head he could feel the tension rising around him as the match between Nekoma and Nohebi.

The teams walked on the court and his father pointed towards a small boy dressed in a red uniform. "That is Yaku Morisuke" his dad whispered in his ear, "if you still want to go to Karasuno after seeing him play we'll travel there today and fill in your application. Okay?" " Yes Sir" he answered quietly.

Shibayama had never seen anything like it, the small boy had an amazing presence, he moved with ease like he didn't even have to think about his next move. The small dark haired boy felt his breath hitch as the libero made one receive after another, he decided there and then that he was going to go to Nekoma.

The match ended in Nekoma win, "well son, what do you think?" the boys father asked. "I want to go to Nekoma" he replied wide eyed. "Okay then let's do that."

The two started to make their way out of the arena when Shibayama bumped into someone which sent both tumbling to the ground. The boy heard someone apologise to him, "Hontoni gomen'nasai" (I'm really sorry). He looked up and saw an hand outstretched and he grasped it and was pulled up onto his feet.

That's when he saw him, the boy that would invade his dreams every night and make him heart race. He was taller than Shibayama by quite a bit, he had light brown spiky hair, blue eyes and a lean but muscular figure. The dark haired boy bowed and responded, "Gomen, I wasn't looking where I was going".

The boy smiled and bowed back, "are you interested in one of the teams that have just played" Kuguri asked. " Err y-yes" Shibayama stuttered. 'Cute' the brown haired boy thought. "Which one?" he asked. "Nekoma" Shibayama proudly said. "We may get to play against each other in the future. I'm applying to Nohebi" Kuguri replied.

"Come on son, we need to get your application in to Nekoma" Shibayama's dad said looking at his watch. "Bye then, maybe I'll see you around" Kuguri said bowing slightly. "Yes, good luck" the dark haired boy responded, blushing intensely.

A few months later the teams met for a match, and there he was, the person who made his heart race. Both boys smiled at each other and nodded.

"Yuki (Shibayama) are you okay?" Mio asked, worried about the way his cousin looked. He looked dazed but was smiling, he then realised what was going on. "Who do you have the crush on?" he asked smiling.

Shibayama turned crimson, "how d-did you know?" Mio laughed, "it's so obvious. Point him out."

The dark haired boy looked towards the front of the bus where a boy with light brown hair stood talking to Lev. "It's the boy talking to Lev" he answered quietly. "Aw he's cute" he replied immediately standing up as Kuguri looked in their direction. Mio chuckled as both boys smiled at each other shyly.

"Okay let's get this ship sailing" Mio said walking towards the other boy who had returned to his seat.

"Noooo" Shibayama whined, but it was too late....
