If someone would've told Hayami that she'd became the manager of a volleyball team she wouldn't have believed them.
And there she was.
Becoming a manager, a teammate, a friend, a sister.
But mostly, an ice skater.
A strong one.
A National Star.
She...

While walking back to her room after she and Kenma said their goodnights, she met someone else who was still up that late.
"Did you practice till now?"
Shoyo rubbed the last drops of water from his face with the towel around his neck, fresh out of the shower, "I was waiting for you to finish talking with Kenma!", he explained, "I was bored so I went training..."
"With whom?"
"Oh, you're not sleeping yet?", Kuroo appeared behind Shoyo, Bokuto, and Akaashi on his side too.
"I was talking with Kenma," she got closer to Akaashi, knowing he and Bokuto were about to go to sleep, "goodnight, owls", she kissed the setter's cheek, passing past him to reach the captain, who was already crunching down, meeting her halfway to hug her, kissing whatever part of skin he could get, making her giggle, adoring how affectionate Bokuto was and how he was not scared to show it.
"See you in the morning, for the last time", the ace had tears inside his eyes.
Hayami's bottom lip trembled, "Don't say shit like this! We live in the same damn city! We'll hang out whenever you want!"
Even though she knew what Bokuto was feeling, because her heart was crying too.
"If I can, I'll come see you at the August's competition, if you want!", he proposed, "Akaashi would come too!"
The setter smiled, nodding, "The choice is yours."
Hayami hopped on the spot, stretching one arm toward Akaashi, forcing him into that group hug, "Sure! I'll be so happy to see you there!"
Bokuto was over Hayami's left shoulder, while Akaashi was on the other, glazing at his best friend, knowing well he would do anything to be able to go to that ice-skating ring.
"Goodnight then," Bokuto waved at the boys too, taking Akaashi under his muscular arm, "see ya' tomorrow!"
"Goodnight, guys."
"Bye-bye," Kuroo winked at the duo, watching them walking away, being careful to stay glued to each other, "kids, I'll leave you from here, 'cause I'm sleep deprived," he ruffled Shoyo's hair, and crunched down to kiss Hayami, cupping one of her cheeks with his palm, plastering a quick peck on her temple, "nighty night!"
"Goodnight, Kuroo-san!"
Kuroo was impressed, "See? He's really a good young boy."
"Bye, Testurō", she smirked.
"Disrespectful kid. Bye."
Hayami was left with Shoyo, "So?", she wiggled her brows, "What about a sleepover?"
Shoyo's eyes shimmered, "Yes, please!"
"Go, take your pillow and everything you need, I'm going steal some candies from the kitchen and we'll meet in the spare room next to my dorm, alright?", she gave him all the instructions, and he quickly ran to grab all his stuff, meeting Hayami in the hall soon after.
