Chapter 56: Perfect Sets

Atsumu was spinning a volleyball between his palms while everyone was on water-break. He didn't really need water - since most of his hobbies consisted of high-energy full body control, he was used to not having water directly after physical activity.

In spite of this, Sakusa still handed him his water bottle with a firm, "Drink," that had Atsumu accepting instantly.

After that, it was time for Foster to gage Atsumu's sets, so Atsumu was just walking around to each of the Black Jackals to ask them about their setting preferences.

Atsumu felt tiny when he walked up to each of the players, because, somehow, even though Atsumu was above average in height, the entirety of the Black Jackals team, minus Hinata and Inunaki, was taller than him by at least ten centimeters.

Atsumu decided that, before he went to the actual giants, he'd start with Meian, who was somehow the shortest out of the four he needed to speak to while still being taller than Sakusa.

"Hi, Meian-san!" Atsumu greeted, "I jus' wanted to ask what yer preferences for sets were? So I know what to expect before I start settin'," he explained.

Meian looked down at him and swallowed before he looked away and towards the court to think of how to describe a set, "Uh... High? And if you could allow me to aim my shot?"

Atsumu nodded, "No problem! Jus' tell me later if ya need any adjustments," he added before he skipped towards the next Jackal.

Meian watched him go with raised eyebrows and Bokuto chuckled as he walked up next to him to clap him on the back, "Don't even think about it, Cap'," he warned.

Meian spluttered, "W-what?"

Bokuto snorted, "He's taken."

Meian seemed to deflate just a little, "Damn... Well, don't worry, I'm not gonna steal your boyfriend, Bokuto."

Bokuto laughed loudly, "My boyfriend? Oh no, he's more like a brother to me."

Meian furrowed his brows, "Who then?"

Bokuto chuckled and shook his head, "You clearly don't use Instagram, Cap'," he teased before he lowered his voice, "He's dating Sakkun."

Meian choked on air and looked at Bokuto with wide eyes, "Seriously??" He asked, before he lowered his voice as well, "Is that why Kiyoomi-kun has been a lot more agreeable these last few weeks?"

Bokuto nodded, "He's a big softy when it comes to Tsumu, but you didn't hear that from me."

Meian laughed, "My lips are sealed."

Meanwhile, Atsumu approached Adriah Thomas. Adriah was well-toned and somehow even taller than Meian. He had pale skin, dark mischievous brown eyes and dark brown straight hair that was cut into bangs.

After that, it was Oriver Barnes, who could really be considered a giant by his height and build. He had tan skin, short black hair and dark brown eyes. He was also the oldest on the team.

Finally, Atsumu made his way to the real giant, Alexandre Joffe. Joffe was nearly an entire foot taller than Atsumu, and was broad with muscles. He had short slick-backed light dusty-blonde colored hair, and pale cyan eyes to go with his pale complexure.

Atsumu was doing some final stretches near the net before they started spiking practice and Sakusa walked up next to him, "So I don't get asked for my spiking preferences?"

Atsumu smirked, "Sorry, Omi-kun, but I a'ready know yer preferences," he said smugly.

Sakusa bit the inside of his cheek, "And what may those preferences be, since you know them so well?" He challenged.
