Teach Me! | Zen x VolleyballPlayer!Reader

High school AU where you are the captain of your school volleyball team.

"That's the end everyone!" My volleyball coach shouts as we finish our practice. Make sure you remember we have a practice game against the school we talked about today here this weekend at 3. If you are staying for more practice let me or (Y/N) know since we have the keys. See you guys this weekend." Everyone breaks off to do whatever they need to do. I help answer some questions for the first years and make sure everything is in place.

"(Y/N), we are going out to get some ice cream. Want to join us?" My co-captain asks me before she leaves. I shake my head.

"I'm going to stay. I need to practice my serves for a bit." She nods her head and walks out the door. I grab a basket of balls from the supply closet and start practicing my overhand serve. I hear an extra pair of footsteps enter the gym as I run to retrieve the balls on the other side.

"Babe, you need to stop trying to overwork yourself. Take a break for once," I hear as a pair of arms snake around my waist and a kiss is planted on my head. I tell right away that's Zen. I smile and look at him.

"We have an important tournament coming up soon. I want to make sure I do my best." I get out of his arms and serve the ball back to the other side. I look at Zen and laugh for a moment.

"What's so funny? Is it my ch-"

"Save it narcissist. You have fur left ok you from your costume. What are you being now, anyway? A dog?" He picks the dark brown fur out of his long white hair.

"No, it's a beast. We are doing Beauty and the Beast remember?" Zen sits down in the chair by the end of the net. I continue serving.

"Next Saturday night, right?" He nods. "I'll be there. I may be in practice clothes, but I will be there."

"We are going to eat after." He pauses and changes his topic. "Hey, (Y/N)?"

I look up at the ball and hit it. "Yes, Zen?"

"Teach me how to play." I looked at him surprised. Zen never has shown any interest in sports, but he works out to keep in shape for his plays. I grab a ball from the cart I just refilled with the same balls.

"Come see." He walks over and stands in front of me. I hold my arms with them together. "Put your arms like this." He holds them out. I walk next to him to fix them a bit. I throw the ball to him, and he hits it. He looks down to see the red mark on his arms.

"You never told me that the ball can hurt," he pouts. I sigh and roll my eyes.

"You get used to it after a while. Let's try again." I toss to it to him again. He stands in the same place for most of the time. Meanwhile I'm running around to make sure it's not going to fall. I hit back back to him one last time. He bends his elbows back when it comes closer to him, but it ends up hitting his face.

"Oh my god! Are you ok Zen? I am so sorry." I run over to him to check on him. He holds his face in his hands and dramatically falls to the ground.

"(Y/N), tell me. Is it bad? Is my beautiful face ruined! Will I never be able to be seen in public ever again?" Zen shouts dramatically. I kneel and move his hands from his face. A large red mark is definitely present from his forehead. I giggle and look at him. I guess I'll give in to his dramatical ways.

"I'm sorry Zenny, but it's ruined." I dramatically fall as well and lay my head on his chest. "It's too present to not be noticed by others. I guess we must run away together to never have anyone notice. Seriously though babe, are you ok?" He laughs and holds my hands.

"Yes I'm fine. It only hurts a bit. I've had worst things hurt me."

"Here, I can go get you an ice pack." I start to get up but he holds on to my hands. He pulls me down on top of him and kisses me.

"That's better. Let's pick up now. I want to walk you home. Besides, you said you would help me with English." He picks up the ball next to him and puts it up while I sit there flustered as always when he does that.

"O-Ok," I say and move the carts to the closet again.

"And (Y/N), we should do that again! It was really fun!" he shouts as he looks back at me with a big smile.

|Extended Ending|

We walk in the door of my house to see my mom standing in the kitchen looking at us. "Hello (Y/N), hello Zen, what happened to your face? Are you ok?" She runs over to us and looks at his forehead. I take off my shoes by the door.

"He wanted me to teach him volleyball. The ball hit him, and it left a mark about as big as his ego," I joke sarcastically. My mom sighs as Zen rolls his eyes. "We are going to go study though." Zen walks next to me.

"(Y/N), don't hurt your boyfriend when playing sports. I don't need to pay for his medical bills." I hear Zen laugh quietly.

"Mom!"
