❝ wait.. spikey?! ❞

you shouted-whispered, not wanting everyone's attention to go towards you, but it still ended doing exactly that thanks to a certain someone.

a short boy with spikey hair with a blonde streak in the front ran to you with open arms. in no time, he jumped onto you and clung on like his life depended on it. you stumbled back a little, but regained your footing. you were quick to hug him back as well, still having a hard time processing everything. soon, the attention that were on you two gradually went away (thankfully). he jumped off of you, looking up at you with a bright smile on his face. you weren't that much taller than him—maybe an inch or so—but it was something he always did when the both of you were little and you were much more taller than him.

"spikey??" is what you managed to say. he responded by swiftly nodding his head.

"wait!" his ecstatic energy was put on pause. "when did you go to fukuordani?! why are you working with the enemies?!" he cupped his hand on the side of his mouth, trying to whisper to you but still ended up doing the exact opposite.

you shrugged your shoulders. "like a week ago? i don't know," you hummed. "and im not working with the enemies! i'm not even a manger." you lightly punched his shoulder. nishinoya ignored your abusive motives and dramatically sighed in relief, placing his hand onto his chest. putting his energy on unpause, he jumped up and down, going on about how the team missed you, him especially. without hearing your protest, he grabbed a hold of your hand and dragged you over to where karasuno was.

"so..." yukie eventually jumped off a kaori looking around in confusement. "there's not a bug?"

  you went over to the team, nishinoya still having your hand in his grip, and greeted the school you used to be with. you were about to greet your upperclassmen, that was before a boy with a buzz cut jumped in front of you, giving you a bone crushing hug. "y/n! man, it's so boring without you!" you could hear a very offended nishinoya yelling, 'well, fuck you!' in the back. you giggled, backing out of the hug only to go right back into another one—this one surprising you.

a boy with orange bright hair, somewhat close to nishinoyas height, jumped onto you just how noya did, hugging you tight as ever. he soon jumped off with his usual big smile on his face. "y/n, come back! if tsukishima has to tutor me again i might just jump off a building!" he whined. you sighed patting his head, seeing a tall lanky four eyed boy came into the picture.

"well if i have to tutor you again i might just push you off a building." he scowled at the boy, making hinata yelp and run behind you. the lanky boy turned his head towards you and jerked his head up a bit—basically saying hi to you—and walked away. it was clear you were the only one, besides yamaguchi, that he tolerated.

the coaches started started signaling to all the players that the practice match would start soon. "good luck, spikey! i'll be cheering you on!" you gave a thumbs up to him and walked away to go sit with yukie and kaori.

"who was he??" kaori asked, scooting over on the bench to provide you some space so you could sit down. "just my friend i haven't seen in a long time." you looked over at yukie who gasped. "childhood bestfriends to lovers trope!! though, this isn't the story for you readers. maybe next time!" yukie winked at her a camera that was certainty not there.

you and kaori couldn't help but look at yukie with the most concerned face expressions.

"was she dropped on the head as a baby?" you mumbled to kaori. she slowly nodded, ignoring whatever yukie had going on.

april 24th; 10 minutes earlier; wednesday

akaashis pov:

i was minding my business while my team and i were stretching for our match that was soon to start. everyone's heads snapped towards the door to see that karasuno finally arrived.

i started minding my business again, that is until...

"BUG?!!?" was exclaimed by karasuno libero. it echoed throughout the whole gym, silencing and confusing everyone at the same time. the short libero was looking at someone, and so i followed his gaze. turns out he was looking at y/n, who had the same shocked look on her face as well. she said something too but it wasn't loud enough for anyone to hear. not even a second passes and the libero is running up to y/n, jumping into her arms which caused her to stumble a bit.

that's when a sudden feeling started to make itself known. i couldnt really tell you exactly what i felt. everyone else gradually started to look away frok the two, but my eyes continued to stay glued on them. i wanted to look away, i really did. but the fact that nishinoya was the one that was hugging her, talking to her, and that it wasnt me... made me feel sort of envious of the boy.

"keep staring you might just burn two holes in his head." i reverted my gaze to konoha, who nudged me with his my elbow. "i wasn't staring at him.." i lied, feeling my face heating up. "yeah, whatever you say." he as he walked away.
