Attraction

17

You get out of bed, exhausted after having not been able to sleep all night. You grumpily get dressed and walk to the kitchen, where Tsukishima and Yamaguchi were waiting for you.

The green haired boy smiled at you. "Good morning, Y/n. Ready to spend more time with the team today?"

You groan, sitting down at the table with the two boys. "I don't have the energy to deal with them."

His smile disappears, turning into a concerned expression. "Are you ok?"

"Didn't sleep all night." You slump down in your seat, laying your head on the table.

"Do you wanna just stay here and wait for us to come back?"

You shake your head. "I'll be bored and lonely then."

Tsukishima sighed. "I'll give you my jacket when we get there and you can try taking a nap while we practice."

You give a tired smile to your cousin. "You're the best, Kei."

He gives a smile to you. "I do what I can to make sure I can still spend time with my cousin."

Yamaguchi smiles, watching the interaction between you two. "You two really are good family for each other."

You shrug, attempting to sit up in your seat. "That's because we've grown up with each other and understand each other better than anyone else can."

The green haired boy nodded. "I almost thought you two were fraternal twins when we first met. You two have always been pretty similar."

"We're just that close."

He nods, smile still on his face. "Yeah, oh we need to get going soon."

The three of you quickly finish the breakfast your aunt made before heading out of the house. You three walk the way to the Karasuno boys' volleyball gym.

Tsukishima sighed. "I hope the energetic idiots don't bother you again today, Y/n."

You look over at him. "I hope so too. I don't have any energy to deal with them."

Yamaguchi chuckled. "I think they'd leave you alone if they see you're asleep."

The tall boy with the glasses snorted. "If they're smart enough to figure that out."

You and the two boys arrive at the gym, no one else around to bother any of you. "We got here just fine."

Tsukishima nods, handing you his team jacket. "Here, go ahead inside and set up. We're gonna get changed real quick, then we'll be inside the gym."

You nod, turning to the door. "Alright." And you head inside the building.

Hinata immediately spots you and smiles. "Hey, Y/n!"

You give a small wave. "Hey, Hinata."

He runs over to you. "How are you today?"

"Tired. I didn't sleep at all last night."

He frowns. "That's no good. Are you sure you should be here today? Shouldn't you have stayed at home and get some rest?"

You shake your head. "I'll be fine. Kei gave me his jacket so I can take a nap while you guys practice."

He looks at the jacket in your hands, smiling once more. "That was nice of him. It's hard to believe Tsukishima would do anything nice."

You smile slightly. "That's what he's like with me. I guess it's one of the perks of being his cousin. We grew up together and are pretty close."

"I guess that makes sense."

You settle yourself on a spot on the ground, Hinata sitting down beside you. You look at him. "Everything alright?"

He nods. "Yeah, just don't want you to feel lonely."

You offer a small smile to the boy. "I'll be fine. I'll just be sleeping for a bit, until I'm well rested."

"Ok. Well, get some rest, then!" He stands up and heads over to the court, picking up a volleyball.

You watch him serve for a few seconds, before laying onto the gym floor and closing your eyes. You heard as the rest of the team walks into the gym. And soon, you fall asleep.

Nishinoya looks at your laying form. "What's up with Y/n?"

Yamaguchi looked at you. "Oh, she didn't sleep last night. So, she'll be sleeping during our practice."

The whole team, even Hinata, paused to look at you sleeping on the floor under Tsukishima's jacket.

"You know... she does look really cute like that."

"Don't make those comments around Tsukishima, Nishinoya." Daichi warned.

Tsukishima glared at the libero. "Please leave my cousin alone. She needs to sleep. She had a rather rough night and woke me up at 1 in the morning to talk."

Yamaguchi's eyes went wide. "Why did she do that?"

"She needed advice on a personal problem."

Hinata walked over. "What kind of problem?"

"One involving her team back in Tokyo. And it's none of your business." He walks away from his teammates.

They all take one last look at you before starting their practice.
