Birds of a Feather (Akaashi Keiji x OC)

Prologue

2012

"Oh, man! My uniform!" Yuya complained about having 'accidentally' split juice on all of her new Fukurodani uniforms. Leaving her with no uniform to wear except for her sports uniform. "What happened?" Koutarou asked. "Don't even try it. I know what you two are doing." Bokuto Tomooki scolded us. "So what happens when the first years don't figure out Yuya-chan is a girl by the end of the week? What's the loser doing?" Tomooki asked, crossing his arms over his chest. "The loser has to pay for the welcoming dinner for the boy's volleyball club at our favourite yakiniku restaurant." Yuya proudly answered.

"You know if your mother didn't have to go to work earlier this morning she would've made sure your uniform was washed and in the dryer so you wouldn't do anything like this... Again," Tomooki reminded the siblings. "But mum's not here so..." Koutarou pointed out. "You can do this prank... Just make sure your uniform is washed and hanging out to dry before you go." Tomooki told us. "Yes!" Koutarou and Yuya chuckled. "Hey hey hey!" They exclaimed and high-fived. Tomooki walked away to find Koutarou's uniform during his first year at Fukurodani. Thanks to volleyball and him being a boy, he had already grown out of his previous uniform and was now letting me borrow it for my disguise.

"Yu-tan! Hurry up I want to practice my spikes with the guys!" Koutarou shouted from the entrance. "I'm coming!" Yuya shouted back, coming out of her room with the boy's Fukurodani uniform on. Yuya honestly thought that the uniform wouldn't fit her. Koutarou had grown a lot since the last year, but it seemed Yuya had grown too. "Looks like you fit the uniform," Tomooki commented as he handed her her lunch. "You think so... It's a little baggy, but no one will care. I'll tell the truth." Yuya stated, accepting her lunch and putting it in her school bag. "That it's Koutarou's?"

"Of course, I'd say that. It's not like I'm gonna tell anyone on day one. Besides it's pretty obvious that I'm Kou-nii's sibling." Yuya stated, pointing at her spiky black and white hair. "Or you are some crazed fan..." "People won't think that!" Yuya complained. "Hey hey hey! Let's go!" Koutarou shouted again. "All right! I'm coming!" Yuya shouted again. "You said that ages ago," Koutarou whined. "It's only been a few minutes," Yuya argued before turning to Tomooki and hugging him goodbye.

"Hey hey hey!" Koutarou and Yuya exclaimed in unison, greeting everyone at the gym. "Yu-chan what are you doing here?" Konoha asked. "Wait... You're not planning to join the boy's volleyball team while you're pretending to be a boy are you?" Komi nervously asked. "What?! No! I love my brother and playing volleyball with you guys, but not that much." Yuya promised. "I'll just be practising with you guys since I won't be able to join the girl's team until next week. Besides you already have one energetic and quirky Bokuto here. I don't think you need two." Yuya quickly explained. All the boys sighed in relief. "Hey, Yukie-senpai! Kaori-senpai!" Yuya shouted, running over to the two managers and hugging them. "Wow, you've grown again," Yukie commented, ruffling her hair. Yuya giggled and claimed, "It's in the Bokuto genes."

"I hope you don't get sick again, Bokuto-san wouldn't stop worrying about you," Washio told her. "I'll try not to, but I missed out on the opening ceremony. So I'll be meeting my classmates for the first time today." Yuya sighed. "Yeah! You better not get sick again. Mum was worried too." Kou-nii spoke. "Worried would be an understatement. She was babying me and was late to work because she wanted to check up on me herself." Yuya argued. "Ma's a nurse. It'd be weird if she wasn't worried." Kou-nii pointed out. "Yeah, but I'm literally the baby of the family. She goes through everything with me thoroughly... Especially when I get sick or hurt." Yuya grumbled, crossing her arm over her chest.

"Baby of the family?" Sarukui asked. "I'm the youngest of four and all our cousins from both sides of the family are older than me," Yuya stated in frustration. "Which makes you the baby of both your cousins and siblings." Kaori inferred. "Yep," Yuya answered with a pop. "You're so lucky to be older Kou-nii if we were twins or something we'd both be the youngest," Yuya mumbled. "Then let's pretend to be twins again! No one will now!" Koutarou excitedly suggested. "Yeah! Let's do it!" Yuya exclaimed, pumping her fist in the air. "You will do no such thing!"
