Sugar Cookie

You were celebrating, the boys having just won their preliminary match. They took in in straight sets. They had really gotten stronger, it almost made the other team look really weak.

When you were all out of the building, you jumped and cheered. "Only two more months!"

They all looked at you, confused. "Two more months?"

You beam at them. "Two more months until the qualifiers! Two more months, then I'm free from Oikawa!"

Sugawara jumped up, cheering with you. "Two more months! Yeah!"

Daichi chuckled. "Of course you'd be happy about that, Suga."

The third year setter looked at him. "Well, that's when I'll be given the chance to finally have Y/n be mine. Imagine how much happier she'll be when she's my girlfriend instead of being stuck as Oikawa's."

You sigh, finally calming yourself down. "And I'll make sure he knows I won't be making another bet with him. There's no way he's gonna try keeping me as his girlfriend anymore. I want to be free from him and be able to live my life however I want."

"Then you and I can finally date!" Sugawara cheered, happy that soon he'd be able to get you to be his girlfriend.

You nod, looking away from him. "Things will be so different. We'll beat every team we face, then go to nationals."

The rest of the team either jumped or pumped their fists into the air. "Yeah!"

Kiyoko chuckles, standing beside you. "I can't tell who's more excited: you or the team."

"Me. Definitely me. I've been waiting to stop being Oikawa's girlfriend since the moment we lost to them at the inter high tournament."

Yachi smiles shyly. "I think you'll do well."

Kiyoko leans in closer to you. "We need to watch out for some of the teams we're going to face. Someone was trying to get my number. Hinata came and distracted him."

You raise a brow. "A flirtatious player, huh. I think I can deal with that. Plus, these guys won't let someone else have us." You point at the team with your thumb.

The black haired girl giggles. "I think they learned their lesson with you. They're keeping a close eye on us managers now."

You nod. "Well, they'll have me and Hitoka here for a longer amount of time. You graduate after the spring tournament."

She sighs. "I know, I'm sad to be leaving all of you behind." She smiles. "But, I'm glad that I'm leaving the team in capable hands."

You smile at her. "Don't worry. Hitoka and I will take good care of this team. We know what we're doing."

Yachi smiled, joining the conversation. "We'll miss you when you leave, but we won't let that hold us back from being the best managers we can be."

Before you knew what was going on, Sugawara had slung an arm over your shoulder. "Koushi?!"

He gave you a bright smile. "In just two months, we'll have our next match. Once we win, I'm asking you to be my girlfriend."

You hum, thinking. "The next team we face, that's Johzenji, right?"

Daichi nods. "They don't have any third years, from what I know. They're also a strong team, so we'll really need to work hard in order to beat them."

You grin. "I believe in you guys. You will totally kick their butts."

Suga beams. "You're my good luck charm. I'll definitely win whenever I'm on the court."

Asahi smiles. "I think we can do this. I'll do my best."

Nishinoya beamed. "That's the spirit, Asahi-san!"

Tanaka yelled out. "No one else will be taking any of our managers!"

You laugh. "Karasuno!"

The boys put their fists into the air. "Fight!"

"No way!" You were talking with one of your classmates.

She nodded. "I'm telling you, L/n, that's what happened while you were at your game."

You shake your head. "I can't believe Ino got yelled at. Of course I had to be at a game and miss him acting up! Man, I wish I had seen that!"

Your classmate looks at you, stars in her eyes. "Next month, you guys have the prefecture qualifiers, right?"

You nod. "Yeah. Why?"

She beams. "That's amazing. Do you think they can win?"

"Of course, Kana. These guys are definitely gonna win. They worked hard and made themselves stronger They're gonna beat all the other teams in the prefecture and go to the spring nationals. Just you wait and see."

Kana sighed. "Man, I'm looking forward to that. By the way, I heard something about you and that third year on the team, Sugawara."

You raise a brow. "Oh? What did you hear?"

She grinned. "You two are dating. He even asked you to marry him, and you didn't reject him."

You felt your face heat up. "Well, that's not wrong. That did happen, but e aren't dating. We've just been best friends for our whole lives."

Kana tipped her head to one side. "Are you two going to date?"

You grin. "I'm waiting for him to win a match and ask me."

"Oh my god! Will you say yes?"

"Of course. Koushi is the only person I'd ever want to be with."
