Yamaguchi Tadashi || Exchange Student

This was a request from mariluv013 -- I hope you enjoy it, and I'm sorry it's taken some time! 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 (f/n) had always wanted to study abroad - she wanted to leave her home country and travel somewhere better, somewhere nobody would really know her. So, when she got the chance, she took it.

She'd studied the Japanese language since she was very young, since her grandmother had been part Japanese, so when it came time to decided where to go, Japan was an obvious choice to. She didn't get to choose the school or the family she was staying with or even the city she wanted to go to. She just said no Tokyo - it was a little to big there for her to feel comfortable - and so they sent her to a little town called Torono in the Miyagi prefecture.

She was probably the luckiest person in the world to land the host family that she did - the Sugawara family was the most hospitable family she could have ever dreamed of being put with, and they did everything they could to make her feel comfortable in every situation she encountered.

She wasn't in the same grade as the son was, - he was a third year and she a first - but he promised to find her somebody to escort her around the school, and when he found out she was in class 1-4 he swore he knew the best person.

Her first day of school Suga brought her to the front office so she could get officially settled into the school, and then he went to practice. The adviser promised to lead the girl to the gym later, and she did just that when they were done with their meeting.

(f/n) walked into the gym nervously, because she was about to meet the people she'd spend most of her time with for the next year, and she didn't want to fuck anything up or make a bad first impression. It was when she saw the group she realized it was really impossible to make a bad impression.

(f/n) figures they'd been cleaning up, because one boy with orange hair is tangled in a net, a bald boy and a boy with spiky hair are both crying laughing at him while a boy with black hair and an angry expression is yelling curses at the poor, tangled up boy. Two boys that (f/n) had met already, Suga's best friends and the other fellow third years, have stopped picking up volleyballs for the shorter of the two - Daichi, the captain - to go and yell at the four 'morons.' A tall blonde is standing a ways away from where they're getting yelled at, snickering into his hand. Finally Suga was standing with a tall, freckled boy in the corner, talking to him with a large smile.

The only people who were actually doing what they were supposed to were Asahi, who got back to cleaning once Daichi started yelling, and three boys who were carrying the large metal bars back and forth between the floor and the storage room, talking like this was normal. (f/n) figured it was, if they were so casual about the entire thing.

Nobody realized she was there until she started laughing, and even then it was only Suga and the boy he was talking too - everyone else was caught up in the noise of the gym.

"(f/n)-Chan!" Suga said, pulling the boy he was talking with behind him. "This," he gestured to said boy, who was blushing profusely, "is Yamaguchi Tadashi - he and his friend Tsukishima are in your class, so they're going to be showing you around."

Yamaguchi scratched his cheek, "Tsukki wasn't enthralled with the idea, so it's mostly just going to be me - I hope that's okay."

(f/n) smiled wide and nodded. "It's nice to meet you, Yamaguchi! You can call me (f/n), since I'm not all that likely to respond to my last name," she said with a smile, and the freckled boy nodded his understanding.
