"Tokyo! Tokyo!" Hinata as cheering, getting ready to jump up and down outside of the bus.

You sigh, shaking your head. "Please settle down, Hinata-kun. Save that energy for the matches."

The orange haired boy looked at you, nodding. "Right!"

***

You sigh, seeing how Karasuno was unable to win even one game. Though, they were improving rapidly with some of their new techniques. You smile, seeing how hard the guys were working to get better. You felt pride swell in your chest, happy to see how hard these guys were working.

Bokuto, the ace and captain of Fukurodani, walked over to you. "Hey, I heard that you can toss. Is that true?"

You look over at him. "Yes, but how did you hear?"

The owl captain smiled. "I think I saw you tossing for a few of your players the last time you were hear. I heard some of the guys at Karasuno talking about having you set to them for extra practice."

Your eyes widened. "I see."

"You are Y/n, right?"

You nod, then bow. "L/n Y/n. I'm a second year at Karasuno High School. Nice to meet you!"

Bokuto beamed. "Can you toss some sets to me?"

"Me? Why?"

Bokuto grinned. "I wanna practice spiking, but there's not many setters here that will keep tossing to me. Akaashi might, but sometimes he says mean things. Do you think you could send me some sets?"

You hesitate, then nod. "Sure. I don't mind sending you some tosses tonight."

He jumps into the air, spreading his limbs out like a star. "Alright! Hey hey hey!"

You smile nervously, not knowing what you've just gotten yourself into. "Hey hey hey?"

Bokuto looks at you, smiling brightly. "Come on, let's go to one of the other gyms." He grabs your hand and starts walking away, having you in tow.

You sigh as you follow the loud ace. You decided to just go with it. It couldn't be that bad, can it?

Bokuto tosses you a ball the moment you got into position. "Send it over!" He starts his running approach.

You flinch, not expecting to start things so suddenly. You quickly get into position and toss the ball to the spiker. You hoped the set was good, not knowing what Bokuto likes and prefers in a toss. You watch as he spikes the ball with a lot of force, causing it to zoom to the other side and somehow staying in bounds. You look at him with wide eyes, not knowing he could do that.

"Hey hey hey! I'm the greatest!" Bokuto cheered for himself, before turning to look at you with that smile still on his face. "That was a great toss, keep em coming!"

You nod. "Of course, Bokuto-san."

Akaashi walked into the gym, seeing Bokuto spiking someone else tosses. "Bokuto-san?"

Bokuto got another perfect spike in, then turned to his setter. "Oh, Akaashi! This is Y/n, I asked her to set to me a bit."

Kuroo, who was also in this gym while trying to teach Lev receives, looked over at you all. "She's actually pretty good at sending sets his way. You should watch them for a bit."

Your eyes widened, waving your hands in front of you frantically. "But, you can always step in, whenever you feel like it! I'm not trying to take your place or something!"

Akaashi shook his head, holding up a hand in front of him. "Don't worry about it. I'm glad there's someone else willing to send tosses to Bokuto-san. Feel free to go as long as you'd like. I'll step in when you've had enough."

You nod at him, sending the setter a kind smile. "Thank you."

You continuing to set to him, until you hear one of the boys calling out to someone outside of the gym.

"Hey, you. Karasuno guy with the glasses! Come here a sec."

And in steps Tsukishima, his eyes immediately land on you. "L/n-san? What are you doing here?"

"Oh, I, uh - I got asked to help out here. Are you going to be practicing as well?"

Tsukishima clicks his tongue. "I didn't expect to."

Bokuto leads him farther into the gym. "Come on, just do some blocks for me."

You chuckle. "Just helping out for a little couldn't hurt, Tsukishima-kun."

The blond nods. "Sure. I can block for a little."

Kuroo gasped, turning to you with wide eyes. "How'd you do that?"

You shrug. "I have a good connection with all the members on my team. I think we communicate so well that we just all get along well."

Tsukishima positions himself on the opposite side of the net. "Whenever you're ready."

You watch as he continuously fails to block properly. You knew he could do better, but he didn't like to apply himself, especially not when it came to volleyball. You saw Lev laying on the ground in a puddle of sweat. You almost thought he was dead, but you were able to see him breathing. And that's when you realized, you had been tossing so much that you were sweating and breathing heavier than usual.

Akaashi steps onto the court. "I can take over the setting now, L/n."

You nod. "Thanks. Good luck."

Kuroo walks over. "Let me in on the blocks."

You were able to see just how amazing Kuroo was at blocking. He ended up saying a few things while the guys were taking a break. You noticed it actually ended up bothering Tsukishima. You watch as he walks out of the gym, not saying another word.
