Haikyuu x Y/n oneshots

bokuto kotaro : lack of sleep

Currently fighting the urge not to make a bunch of Shiratorizawa oneshots. My faves <3. Here's Bokuto instead! Still great!

Y/n POV
The sound of loud conversations and plates clacking within the cafeteria are only a temporary distraction from me thinking about what comes next. Everyone that was invited to this training camp are eating the rest of their dinner, some chatting, some not, but nobody is worried. Worried like I am.

The end of the day came for me fast and I am not happy for that. You would think that after a full day of managing the Karasuno volleyball team, I would be grateful for the end of the day since I get to sleep. But me and sleep don't really have a great relationship, no matter how many times I've tried to make up with it.

My attention is pulled from my half eaten dinner by a light tap in my shoulder. Suga's light grey hair is what I notice first when I turn. Then, it's his concerned expression while he glances from me to my plate and back again. "Are you okay?"

I seriously hope my fake smile is convincing enough as I nod. "Yeah, fine," I reassure. My gaze goes to my plate before it lands on two Nekoma players having an arm wrestle on the table beside me. It's pretty funny. "I'm just tired."

"I feel that." Suga's answer makes me laugh despite the anxiety growing in my chest. I can always count on him to make me feel at least a little better.

He leaves to go find his team, or at least the people who aren't sitting with other people, and not just Nekoma. Even if it's only our first night at a training camp with other teams, my team has successfully made friends with many other people. I'm not the most sociable in the world but I still became friends with the other managers and I got to see the couple people in Nekoma I became friends with during our practice match.

There was only one part of this whole thing I'm not excited about. The sleep. I've never been good a falling asleep, but now, sleeping in the same room as people - even if it's just the other managers - is going to be much harder. But I have to push though. I'll figure something out. Right?

I gaze down at my half eaten dinner before sighing. "Noya!" I call to the boy sitting not too far from me. As soon as he hears his name, he turns and I point towards my plate as a silent question.

Like lightning, he rushes towards where I am and takes my plate of rice and curry away from me. He starts gobbling up my dinner as I get up and walk towards the kitchen to help with cleaning.

As I walk, I spot Fukurodani and Nekoma's captains and setters in a group. The captain that looks sort of like an owl complains loudly about something while his setter tries to tell him to calm down.

I turn when the captain's head starts to turn towards me. Why the hell was I staring that long?

After a while of cleaning and getting everyone out of the gyms, it's time for everyone to fall asleep. Along with the rest of the managers, I set my futon on the floor after getting my pyjamas on.

There's a busy day full of manager work tomorrow so everyone decides that it's best to fall asleep early. You nod along to their reasoning and say a good night to everyone before closing your eyes.

But of course, you don't fall asleep.

I shift and turn in the sheets that are now crumbling up. With a sigh, I end up getting up, hoping that some air could help.

As soon as I walk outside, I'm immediately greeted by a wave of cool wind that prickles my face gently. It's nice after a hot day in Tokyo and warm pyjamas are keeping me at a perfect temperature.
