⋆⋅☆⋅⋆I apologize for my lack of attention towards this fanfic (I haven't released a chapter since August😭). I have had terrible writer's block up until recently! Yay!

⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ Also, I wanted to thank you all for almost 2k reads! It's insane to me that a fanfic I wrote out of spite towards Fanon Ushijima is getting some traction. 😭 Very grateful to you all for reading and trusting the process. 💜

┌─────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───────┐

You and Ushijima Wakatoshi didn't know each other personally, but you knew of each other, with the two of you being Shiratorizawa's star student athletes and all.

The two just had a mutual respect towards one another, athlete to athlete.

The only time the two of you had any sort of an interaction was during Shiratorizawa's yearly award ceremony, in which both students won Athlete of the year for their specific genders, dedicated to their hard work towards their specific sports which happened to be Volleyball and Track.

No words were passed between the two student athletes, just a polite smile from Y/n and a nod from Ushijima as they received their awards.

That moment alone got pictured not only in the yearbook, but also draped proudly as a banner within the infamous Shiratorizawa gymnasium.

Even with that sort of achievement, at the end of the day, Ushijima got more attention because the boys volleyball team was was Shiratorizawa's kryptonite, led by no other than Y/n's co athlete of the year, their captain, Ushijima Wakatoshi.

"Hot volleyball men" they say, reasonable.

However, you didn't mind the lack of attention at all. You simply didn't care. You loved keeping to yourself. Plus, you didn't have to worry about a crazy ass fan base watching your every move...

That's not only fucking creepy to Y/n, but also an absolute invasion of privacy, she feels for the Volleyball boys in a sense.

The boy's volleyball team has intense fangirls. Ushijima's, specifically, are a force to be reckoned with.

When Y/n received her award alongside Ushijima, she felt so many eyes staring daggers at her, pure animosity towards someone just simply existing besides the guy they all want a piece of.

What sad lives they're living to assume anything romantic from a nonverbal interaction.

But hilariously enough, during that moment, Y/n just smirks at them with a shit eating grin that screams "You wish that was you, huh?"
