You bob your head following the music blast through your headphones while observing each players skills and what they need to improve. You have a very few friends in karasuno because of your disability to speak.
Yup, you are mute. many people thought mute people can't hear shit or in other words, deaf. It is not necessary for a mute person to be deaf as well. Anyway, because of that mindset, a lot of girls talk shit about you, thinking you don't know anything. Luckily your brother, sugawara koushi is always there to back you up.
"Alright everyone, listen up! We're going to have a training camp next week and as usual, don't forget to pack all the things you need," Coach Ukai announce.
"Osu!"
Nishinoya and Tanaka skip towards you with a huge teasing smile on their faces. nishinoya swing his arm around you. "Aren't you excited to see your precious boyfriend, [Name]-chan~?," he coo.
One of the advantages of not talking is, you can show any language sign to express what do you want to talk or your feelings. You raise your middle finger towards him before walk towards Suga.
"[Name], that's not nice," Sugawara scold.
You pout at him while doing the sign language thingy with your hands, complaining about the libero keep teasing you. Sugawara nod and ruffle your hair. "Still, it's not nice, okay?"
"Hah! Serve you right," Nishinoya stuck his tongue out but quickly run away when you start chasing him.
"Help me! A monster is chasing after me,"
"NISHINOYA!"

A certain setter from Fukurodani couldn't help but smile at his girlfriend cute texts. He himself is excited to see her.
"Oi Akaashi, are you texting your girlfriend?" Bokuto ask after chugging down the water to his throat to relief his thirst.
"No, I'm texting my dog," Akaashi give Bokuto a 'duh' look.
His mother wouldn't text him because she would straight away call him until he pick up his phone.
"Actually, who is your girlfriend?" Watari ask.
It's a huge surprise when the team found out their precious setter have a girlfriend. They only know that she's a second-year from Karasuno and in a volleyball team as well but as a manager. They most likely going to meet her.
"Just someone who is not perfect," Akaashi answer casually.
"Is she pretty?" Konoha ask almost excitedly.
"The prettiest after my mother,"
"..Can I have her?"
"Bokuto-san, no,"

Kiyoko smile at you as a thanks after you've give her all the data for today's match. It makes Kiyoko's works easier as you're naturally an observant person so you notice every single details.
"Meeting up with Akaashi-san tonight?" she teases a little.
A small faint blush appear on your cheeks as you nod. His team doesn't know about you and you're totally fine with it. Sometimes when the both of you walk pass by each other, he would brush his hands against yours or nod in acknowledgement.
"[Name]?," Kiyoko nods at you, urging you to go to him.
Akaashi feel his energy has fully recharge when you run and hug him. It's good to see you after for so long since he lives in Tokyo.
❝Let's walk around❞
The setter tug your hand softly to the outside of the gym.
❝How was your day?❞
As usual, he would rant about his day and how Bokuto is such a pain. He doesn't talk that much around his friends and he doesn't why he can talk a lot around you.
"Oya, oya? Akaashi, is that your girlfriend?,"
You hide your smile when Akaashi groan out. Squeezing his hand a little, his stiff posture become relax when you show that you're okay with it.
"Hey, hey, hey! I'm Bokuto Koutarou. One of the Top 5 aces in the country and captain of Fukurodani Volleyball Club!" Bokuto proudly introduce yourself. "What's your name, cutie? Are you really dating Akaashi?"
You roll your eyes a little.
❝No, I'm dating his dog❞
"SO MEAN!" Bokuto whine. "Wait, are you mute?" he ask again.
Akaashi answer his question before you retort anything. "Yes, Bokuto-san. She is mute and she is my girlfriend. Anything else?" he just want to spend some quality time with you.
"Why are you dating her? I mean, she's mute,"
"Bokuto, that's rude!" Yukie who's coincidentally walking pass by hit Bokuto with thick papers.
"I'm just asking," he pout.
Akaashi sigh. "I love [Name] that's why. I accept her imperfections, Bokuto-san. Good night," he say firmly before walk away with his finger intertwine with yours.
A happy smile appear on your face as his confession. He doesn't embarrass to show he's dating a girl who can't talk. You stop on your track making Akaashi look at you with a confuse look.
You fold all your fingers except for your pinkie. Then, you fold your pinkie before expand your index finger and thumb. Lastly, you put your index finger in and expand your pinkie once more.

Akaashi blush a little and repeat the same thing but show a peace sign at the end for number two.
I L Y 2
It's not love if we can't accept our partner imperfections. Learn the difference between love, lust and crush.

HEY HEY!
Oh, I don't know what's the sign for i love you too so I simply put a peace sign whenever my friends do that to me.
