Kuroo x reader (HAIKYU FANFIC)

*unedited(as always)

Over the past 2 days, Kenma had been anticipating the call from Karasuno's coach— jumping to check his phone whenever it buzzed. However this was not for himself, but for that fact that he purely wanted to tease his older friend. Obviously, Kuroo had been irritated that he himself couldn't speak to Y/N in the manner his younger, introverted friend could. It made him feel beneath himself, for some reason.

Not only were those two waiting eagerly, but so were the rest of Nekomas team. Thanks to Yamamoto and his loud mouth soon enough everyone knew about the trip that was being planned by their rival team.

Coach Nekomata himself had just this morning made a call to Coach Ukai to see if there was any truth to what his players were spreading around. He had even let out a bark of a laugh when the other confirmed that's what his managers had been nagging him about all today and yesterday.

"Y/N, your distracted again. I thought you wanted to land your flip? Stop slacking off if you want progress."

The sharp words of her coach snapped Y/N back into reality. Her mind had been all over the place recently—even now when she's practicing something she'd wanted to learn since her first time on the ice, all she could think about was  food of all things.

'Get a grip y/n, you're already so behind..just look at the other girls.'

"Sorry."

'It's so hard to concentrate when all I can think about is getting a stupid blueberry muffin. The stupid thing isn't even worth the calories I burn thinking about it—why can't I crave cucumber or something??'

"Don't apologise, just do it again. I want this for you," although at times it may seem like her coach is harsh on her the lady had proved many times she really does care—wanting the girl to succeed. Y/N herself knew this and therefore followed the other's advice each and every time that it was given.

The girl nods and begins her crossovers before going straight into attempting the jump once again. She lands, flat on her ass.

Tina, her coach, sighs and helps her up with a small tug of the wrist.

-

"Y/N! Is it true? Are we really going ice skating?!" The shout of Hinata comes as a shock to the manager, who flinches before turning to the orange ball of sunshine. "Where did you hear that?"

"I was on the phone to Kenma earlier and someone in the back mentioned it! Is it true— Come on tell me!"

'I bet you anything it was Yamamoto. I'm gonna strangle him with my own hands.'

"Fine fine, yes it's true. But it was a surprise so you can't tell anyone okay? Besides, coach Ukai hasn't said yes yet— actually you should help us convince him!"

"Me?" The boy tilts his head to the side, staring up at her with wide eyes, barely containing his own excitement.

Y/N nods her head eagerly. "Yeah! Me and Kiyoko-San have been nagging at him about it for ages and he still won't give us an answer.. maybe we could trick him into saying yes?"

"Trick who into what?"

The h/c girl flinches once again and side eyes the new voice in the conversation. To her dismay, it's Tsukishima. 'There's no way he'd help us,'

"You're not harassing our poor manager again are you?" The blonde snickers, folding his arms over his abnormally slim and wide chest. Before Hinata can respond to the taunt Y/N covers his mouth with her hand and turns to face the other. "It's nothing, just a favour he's doing for me,"

This only causes Tsuki to raise an eyebrow at her.

In defeat the girl sighs and decides to just admit the plan. "Me and Kiyoko are trying to convince Ukai to let us do a 'team-bonding' trip,"

"trip?"

She nods at the taller male and takes her hand off of Hinata's face. "It's a surprise, and I know you live for the drama but if you share this to anyone I will get you." She points an accusatory finger towards him, her expression serious.

"Ha? You- Never mind, I don't care. Continue doing whatever."

Hinata sticks his tongue out at the retreating blonde before turning back to his scheming manager. "So what's the plan?"

-

"REALLY? THANK YOU SO MUCH—"

"yeah yeah calm down and leave before I change my mind," Ukai mumbles, waving a arm Y/N and Hinata.

"AWESOME!" The ginger squealed, jumping up and down with the manager. Y/N was equally as happy, her e/c eyes shining like nothing the rest of the team—who had just walked in for practice and had no idea what was happening, had ever seen.

"Kiyoko-San, he said yes! We can go,"

Although she usually kept a stoic expression and quiet voice, even the third-year looked pleased at the outcome. "Go where?"

"Okay- everyone come here while we tell you the great news," Y/N beckoned, using her hands to move everyone into a circle around her. She pulled Kiyoko to her side and let her take the lead.

"Me and Y/N-san had the idea for a 'teambonding trip' for you all."

Y/N cuts in, "when we say teambonding, it's really just an excuse for a break! You all deserve one and it will be fun,"

The black haired girl pulls a board out of nowhere and begins to write down a few things. The other takes this as a hint to keep talking.

"It's a trip to **** *** ice skating rink in Tokyo! Your lovely manager is writing down the key points like prices and the place,"

"With the help of Nekoma's Captain, Y/N is going to get the final details soon."

"T-that's right.. 'why bring up that fact, Kiyoko. Huh?? Do you want me to get teased for the rest of my life.'  The website didn't have the proper info so their team is helping out since they live there."

Both managers stand on either side of the board, crossing their arms and smiling at their team who
display a range of emotions between them.

"Any questions?"
