Ōkamin(Haikyū!! Fan-Fic)

Look At You

"Safe travels, you two," I waved to Kuroo and Kenma. "Keep an eye out for us at the next tournament!"

"It's gonna be you who's gonna have to keep an eye out for us!" Kuroo replied. "Next time, Fukurō! I'll get you then!"

"Right," I chuckled. "Looking forward to it, Kuroo,"

"Bye, Ven," Kuroo smiled my way. "I'll keep in touch while in Tokyo,"

"Same here," I shot him finger guns and he nodded. "Have fun practicing!"

"Bye, Ven!" The Nekoma team shouted as they boarded the bus to the train station.

I waved, and Zany laughed behind me.

"It's like a big family party here," he chuckled. "You get along with people well,"

"Which is funny, because I always found myself to be uncomfortable around people," I said. "It's a miracle I've gotten to know everybody so good. I just...feel a connection to them, I guess,"

"Okay," Zany shrugged. "Whatever you say, psychic,"

-------------------------------------------------------

"Interhigh, Interhigh, Interhigh tournament~" Shooter sang as we walked to school together. "You excited, Ven? It'll be your first ever boys volleyball tournament!"

"No, I'm sick," I grumbled. "Nerves are getting to me. I dunno how I feel about this...,"

"No backing out now," Sept pat my back. "You're already an official libero for Ōkamin High,"

"I demand refund," I slapped Sept on the shoulder.

"Nope, no refund,"

"That reminds me," I suddenly said. "Who was the libero before I came? Surely you had one already,"

"'Course we did," Sept replied. "But we never had an official one. The job was usually rotated between between Rye and I. Not one person stayed as libero,"

"Why you and Rye?" I asked.

"They were the shortest," Shooter snickered. "And the best at receiving on our team. Coach didn't really have a choice,"

"But then who played setter?"

"Zany was up to playing setter when I had to go as libero," Sept explained. "Not bad, I'll tell you that. He just needs to know how to control his strength,"

"Mm, I can see that," I replied as we approached the gates of Ōkamin High.

Other students around us chatted excitedly with one another, talking of sports and plans for the weekend. It was a bright day for a Monday morning, a little too bright. My eyes hurt when I looked up and had to face the brilliant blue.

"Hey," Sept tapped my shoulder. "I think there's some people waiting for you, Ven,"

"What?" I turned to the gates of school and saw two figures making a commotion up front. "Oh no-"

"Ha," Shooter giggled.

"Are you sure this is the right place?"

"Of course it is, dumbass! Can't you read?"

"We went to two different schools before reaching here!!"

"Stop!" I ran forward in a panic and shut Hinata and Kageyama's mouths with my hands. "Are you two crazy?! What are you doing here?"

"We wanted to visit," Kageyama's muffled voice came from behind my hand. "Is that wrong?"

"Shouldn't you be in school?" I said weakly.
