Sugar Cookie

35

You and Sugawara arrived at the gym together. He went to the club room to go get changed. You walked into the gym, seeing all of the other guys there. each one of them gave you a sad look, being unable to look at you for more than a few seconds. You knew how they felt, Sugawara had told you.

You walk into the gym and clap your hands. "Come on, guys. Don't be sad because I'm forced to date Oikawa now. I'm still your manager, I still love you guys, and nothing can get in the way of that. No matter how much Oikawa forces me to be his, I belong to you guys, as your manager. So, stop with the sad looks. I'm only his girlfriend until October 25th. We won't lose to Seijoh again. Let's give these practices our all!"

All the guys had smiles on their faces, Sugawara just walking into the room. The guys cheered, screaming out that they wouldn't lose again. Sugawara watched as his teammates got pumped up, all of them going to you and giving high fives. He smiles, seeing everything going back to normal.

You smiled at everyone, your eyes landing lovingly on the silver haired boy. "Come here, Koushi. We can't start a group hug until all the members are over here."

He walks over, and soon, you're engulfed in a large group hug. All the members on the team surrounded you, all of their arms outstretched in an embrace. You all smiled, enjoying the company of each other. You all knew things were going to be alright, from here on out.

Takeda and Ukai walked into the gym. They smiled as they watched everyone hug and get along with each other. They knew things were going to be fine.

Ukai gained everyone's attention. "As touching a this moment is, we have to get to practicing. We're going to Tokyo soon!"

Everyone cheered, all of you being happy about the upcoming training camps with the teams in Tokyo, including your rivals at Nekoma.

You walk over to Kiyoko, standing beside her. "I'm glad the guys are feeling better."

She nods, a smile on her face. "You said all the right things, Y/n."

You beam with pride. "I just spoke from the heart. This team means everything to me."

"We might need an extra set of hands, though."

You look over at her. "You're thinking about finding another manager for the team?"

Kiyoko looks at you, a serious look on her face. "We need a first year that can be with these guys for another two years."

You nod. "I think I might know of a first year girl. She's shorter than Nishinoya, and has blonde hair. I met her once when my class went to help out hers. She's in class 1-5."

"What's her name?"

"Yachi Hitoka."

"Can you get her here?"

You nod, a smile on your face. "I have her number. Let me call her, and she can hopefully arrive today to meet the team."

Kiyoko looks ecstatic. "Go ahead, and give her a call."

You call Yachi, and she says she's free. She would be heading to the school's campus as soon as possible. You head out of the gym, walking to the school gates to meet the first year.

You see her walk to the gates, smiling softly. "Hey, Hitoka-chan!" You wave at her.

She smiles, walking right up to you. "Hey, Y/n-senpai. How are you?"

"I'm doing pretty good today. How are you?"

"I'm a little nervous about meeting the team." She holds a nervous smile on her face.

You start walking to the gym, while she followed behind you. "Don't be. These guys are really nice. They're just a little loud and energetic, but you don't need to worry about a thing. They're going to love you." You reassure the girl, trying to keep her calm before meeting the team.

She sighed, still feeling nervous. "I trust you, senpai. You've always been really nice. You know, you're the first friend I made here at school. Thanks for being there for me, joining as a manager with you is the least I can do in return."

You hand her an application form. "Just, do this because you want to, not because I want you to."

Yachi nods, taking the form from you. "I know. I want to help other people, just like you do."

You smile at her. "You don't know anything about volleyball, though."

She smiles back at you. "True, but I know I can learn while being around this team."

You open the door to the gym, letting her walk in before you follow her. "I'm back, and I brought someone with me!"

The boys, and Kiyoko, turn to face you. Their eyes land on Yachi, which caused her to hide behind you.

"This is Yachi Hitoka, and she will be the first year manager for the team."
