Shouts echoed out of the gym, mixed with the sound of balls bouncing off walls and onto arms. Encouraging, and not very encouraging shouts could be heard through the open door as the summer heat stood still, not a sign of a breeze. Daichi, the team captain, froze in his receiving practice, giving his arms and lungs a break. He made eye contact and Ukai nodded, calling for a water break. The team piled outside, trying to escape the gym that was slowly cooking them. Kikyo wander around with water bottles and ice, handing them out to the exhausted teammates. Nishinoya and Tanaka were sitting on the cement, a first aid kit next to Nishinoya as he bandaged his cuts, scrapes and bruises up. Tanaka talked animatedly to him, staying quiet enough to not disturb the tired peace. Tsukishima and Yamaguchi had started making conversation, avoiding contact with all other forms of life, Tsukki saying something to Yamaguchi making him start to laugh. Hinata was face-down on the grass, murmuring something to Kageyama who had an unhappy look on his face. The third years were all arranged in a circle, (Asahi as far away from Daichi as possible) talking about a common teacher. Yachi was sitting next to Takeda, with him trying to teach her something about volleyball. Kikyo quickly smiled and put the water bottles down, choosing a quiet spot under a tree to observe everyone else. Ukai was the only one left standing, leaning against the wall a cigarette trapped between his lips. He looked over his team, a proud light in his eyes before sighing and closing his eyes for just a second.
"Five minutes left, try to cool off as much as you can." Ukai's voice travelled easily, only getting a few murmurs in return. Sugawara stood, noticing his team's red faces and dry lips. Grabbing the water bottles from Kikyo, he refilled them and took around ice packs, making sure everyone had water and was drinking it. Tsukki finally relented and took the water bottle, taking a small sip and earning a happy cheer from Suga made Yamaguchi laugh, trying to cover his mouth.
"Kei! You have seconds. Get that peice of trash away from you." A voice called out from behind the team, not very loud, but still carrying well. Tsukishima looked up oddly, not recognizing the voice. Ukai on the other hand, panicked and tried to turn around. Everyone else quickly turned their eyes to the newcomer, making her cheeks flush in embarrassment. She was about as short as Nishinoya, definitely American from her accent, had creamy white skin a short dirty-blond hair in a chin length bob with her bangs bleached. As she moved her head, other strands among her head could be found to have the same bleached color.
Attempting to ignore the stares, she walked right up to Ukai, an odd look on her face. He turned around slowly and sighed, the cigarette still in between his lips. She put her hand on her hip and used her right hand to wrap her fingers around his cigarette and pull it out of his mouth. The team's jaws dropped and Tanaka let out a small whine. Ukai wasn't the most patient person, but he tried with them. The only thing that would make him lose his cool in seconds was if someone touched his cigarettes, let alone take one. Instead of the expected response, he dropped his head in shame almost. She smiled and put it on the cement, stomping it out before picking it up and tossing the still hot cigarette into the garbage. "Oh yeah, by the way," she muttered before grabbing his coat and pressing her lips to his.
The whole team's composure went down the drain after that, even Tsukishima cracking a surprised face. Asahi looked like he was about to pass out and Suga's ears turned bright red. Nishinoya and Tanaka muttered an angry 'lucky' and Kikyo raised an eyebrow. Yachi really did pass out and slumped onto Takeda.
A/N: So! I finally started this story. It started a couple of days late and I am totally behind, but it's all good. I have an excuse! My internet went down the day I was supposed to upload and I couldn't get it online. So, TaDa! What do you all think?
