Chapter 2: Pictures and Pork Buns

[Y/n's point of view]

I'm so glad the pictures turned out so well! I hope the guys enjoy them. I step into the gym. Practice looks like it's wrapping up.
Y/n: "Hey guys! The pictures are ready!" I call out once. Everyone starts coming back from putting all the volleyballs away and taking care of the net.
Hinata: "Really?!"
Hinata came bolting over to see.
Y/n: "Yep! I got you all your own envelopes of pictures."
I start to hand out each envelope to all the team members. I grab the envelope labeled 'Ace'. I never did learn his name. I look around for the Ace, and see him talking with the spunky libero, Nishinoya. I walk up to the two of them and handed Nishinoya his pictures.
Y/n: "Here you go, Nishinoya-senpai." I know he loves being called Senpai.
He smiles, broadly.
Nishinoya-senpai: "Thanks! If there's anything your senpai can do for you, just let me know."
I chuckle.
Y/n: "You got it!" I turn to the Ace. "Here's yours. I'm sorry, but I never did catch your name. I just wrote 'Ace'. We were never formally introduced. My name's L/n Y/n."

[Asahi's point of view]

L/n: "...My name's L/n Y/n."
Asahi: "Uh-I'm Asahi Azumane."
She's not scared? Normally, I scare girls away, but she's not nervous at all.
L/n: "You play really well! You get pretty serious on the court. You're very passionate about volleyball, aren't you?"
She's so nice. She's making me embarrassed.
Asahi: "Yeah. I definitely like playing volleyball a lot."
L/n: "So, what year are you? Are you a second year? Or maybe a third year?"
I'm surprised she thinks I could be a second year. Normally, people think I look too old to still be in high school.
Hinata: "He's a third year!" Hinata jumps in.

[Tsukishima's point of view]

L/n: "Hey guys! The pictures are ready!" L/n calls.
Hinata: "Really?!"
Hinata runs past me and goes over to L/n. He can be so annoying. Yamaguchi and I finish putting away the net. When we get back, I see L/n talking with Hinata and Asahi. Seeing L/n talking with other boys gives me this bitter feeling. I don't like it.

[Y/n's point of view]

I notice Tsuki and Tadashi come out of the storage room. I still need to give them their pictures. They don't come over, so I wrap up the conversation and go over to them.
L/n: "Hi guys. Sorry. Got caught up in a good conversation, so I got a little sidetracked. Here are your guys' pictures."

[Yamaguchi's point of view]

L/n hands me my pictures.
Yamaguchi: "Thanks!"
L/n: "No prob!"
I open up the envelope to look at the pictures.
Yamaguchi: "Wow! These are really cool!"
L/n: "Thanks so much!"
Kei peeks over my shoulder to see.
L/n: " I'm sorry! Here's yours, Tsuki!"
She gives him his envelope.
Kei: "T-thanks."
L/n: "Absolutely!" She beams. As Kei flips through the pictures, his face lights up. All the pictures L/n took for us were really incredible.

[Y/n's point of view]

Y/n: "Hey, Tsuki!"
Tsuki: "Y-yes?"
Y/n: "So, I noticed that you seem to have a different feel on the court than the other guys. Just wanted to let you know, I like it a lot! You're a very impressive player. You're so cool and composed, but you try really hard to be the best, too! It's like nothing phases you!"
As I'm talking with Tsuki, I notice that his face looks really red.
Y/n: "Tsuki, are you feeling okay? You're looking pretty flushed."
Tsuki: "I'm f-fine."

[Yamaguchi's point of view]

L/n: "Tsuki, maybe you should sit down and drink some water." L/n says, concerned.
Yamaguchi: "Don't worry, L/n. I'll make sure he does."
L/n: "Thanks." She turns to Kei. "Don't work yourself too hard."
Kei: "Tsk. I said I'm fine."
L/n turns back to me.
L/n: "Make sure this stubborn guy gets some rest. Got it?
Yamaguchi: "You got it!"
She leaves to help Kiyoko and Yachi with their duties. I turn my attention to Kei.
Yamaguchi: "Man, you've really fallen hard for her, haven't you?"
Kei: "S-shut up!"
Yamaguchi: "Okay. Sit down and I'll get you some water."
Kei: "Fine."
