This story focuses on 1st year (Y/n) (L/n), the childhood friend of Hitoka Yachi. Realizing she might need help when Kiyoko Shimizu is no longer a student of Karasuno High, Hitoka takes it upon herself to recruit a new manager. And who better to man...
A/N: Okay peeps imma clear up the inevitable confusion now: it seems to me that in almost every Haikyuu!! fanfic I've read, people get confused by the characters' name order ie. Hinata Shōyō. They would think Hinata is his first name when in reality his first name is actually Shōyō. My point being I'm using the first name-last name order ie. Shōyō Hinata. Just wanted y'all to know that. Now, without further ado, let's get back to the reading!

A pink bunny shaped clock begins ringing. A boy grumbles after switching it off. He gets up from his bed and slips on his pink bunny slippers, heading to the bathroom with his towel.
~Timeskip cuz I don't know how y'all do your morning routine~
The boy enters the kitchen, feeling slightly more livelier than before. "Good morning, sweetie." The boy's mother greets as she serves breakfast. "Good morning, Mama. Good morning, Papa." The boy says as he sits on a Zaisu ((Y/n)'s family is a bit traditional). The boy's father nods in his direction as he reads the newspaper. The family eats in a comfortable silence. "(Y/n)-chan, if you don't hurry you might be late." (Y/n)'s mother warns as he finishes the last of his breakfast. He glances at the clock. "Oh, you're right!" He gets up from the Zaisu and removes his slippers, replacing them with his school shoes. "I'm off!" He says before closing the door to his home. "Have a good day!" Both parents say.
(Y/n) heads to his best friend's apartment. He knocks on the door to the stylish apartment. A blonde woman opens the door. "Good morning, (Y/n)-kun." (Y/n) bows. "Good morning, Yachi-san." The woman invites (Y/n) in. He sits on a stool and waits for his friend. "(Y/n)-chan!" A blonde girl bearing resemblance to the woman shouts. (Y/n) gives the girl a closed eye smile. "Good morning, Hito-tan." (Y/n) removes himself from the seat and follows the blonde to the entrance of the door. The girl puts her school shoes on. "I'm off." "Have a good day." (Y/n) bows one more time before walking with his best friend.
On the way to school, Hitoka tells (Y/n) stories about the Volleyball Club she was managing. "...and Shimizu-senpai thinks I should recruit a 1st year to manage the team with me, since I'm sure I can't handle it by myself. I'm not sure who to ask, though. Everyone I've asked is already in a Club, or is planning to join one." (Y/n) smiles reassuringly at her. "I'm sure you'll find someone, Hito-tan." She stops walking. "That's it!" She exclaims. "What is?" (Y/n) asks. "You should manage the team with me, (Y/n)-chan, since you're not in a Club! It's perfect! And it'll be fun!" The (h/c)ette waves his hand rapidly.

"N-no way, no way, no way, no way! I-I can't!" "Eh, why not?" Hitoka asks. "You know how I am with people! It's way too stressful..." Hitoka sighs as the two enter Karasuno High.
During class, (Y/n) thinks about what Hitoka said. Me? A manager! There's no way! He thinks to himself. (Y/n)'s thoughts are interrupted by a noise in his classroom. He looks to the front of the classroom. The ruckus looked to be caused by his classmate Shōyō Hinata. The orange haired boy somehow got his foot stuck in a bucket. Again. (Y/n) sighs hopelessly at his classmate's immaturity.
~Timeskip to after school~
(Y/n) was peeking through a window, watching the Home Ec. Club while he waits for Hitoka to finish with the Volleyball Club. Waaah...they're designing clothes now! They're so cool! (Y/n) thought. (Y/n) has always wanted to join the Home Ec. Club, but he's been too shy to. He freezes up whenever he gets the chance to talk to them. It's one of the things (Y/n) hates about himself. "You can always ask to join, you know." A voice seemingly out of nowhere says. (Y/n) squeals and jumps a bit. "H-Hito-tan? Don't scare me like that!" Hitoka giggles. "Sorry. But what I said is true. So why don't you ask?" (Y/n) looks to the ground. "You know me, Hito-tan. I'm scared." Hitoka grabs (Y/n)'s hand. "Hito-tan?" He questions. "If you can't muster up the courage to join the Home Ec. Club, then why don't you join the Volleyball Club?" The (h/c) haired boy frowns. "Hito-tan, I've already told you I-" "I'll give you candy." (Y/n) stops, actually considering the offer. "I-I'm not falling for that!" Hitoka pouts. "But, but, it's your favorite (favorite candy)! And I'll get you heaps of it, if it makes you happy!" (Y/n) bites his lip. "H...heaps?" She nods. "Heaps." After moments of deciding, (Y/n) sighs. "F-fine. I'll try it out..." Hitoka smiles. "Great! Let's go, the team's waiting for you." "Okay..." (Y/n) follows Hitoka. He stops walking after realizing something. "H-hey! This was your plan all along!" (Y/n) pouts as Hitoka pulls her tongue and winks. "Hito-tan, you're sneaky..." She laughs as they enter the gym.
"Everyone, this is my best friend (Y/n)! He'll be managing you guys along with me and Shimizu-senpai!" The Volleyball team looks at her as if she's mad. "U-uh, is there something wrong?" The blonde girl asks. "Where's your friend, Yachi? You said he was here, right?" A male with a shaved head asks. The blonde raises an eyebrow at her senior. "Yes, he should be right next to me." She looks to her side. Realizing the boy wasn't with her, she sighs. "Honestly, (Y/n)-chan..." She reaches for her school bag and puts her hand in it. "What are you looking for?" The short orange haired boy known as Shōyō Hinata asks as she continues rummaging through her bag. Her hand re-emerges with a lollipop in it. "What're you gonna do with a lollipop? Give it to one of us as a reward?" A tall blonde boy asks sarcastically. The girl rolls her eyes. "No. I'm using it to lure (Y/n) out." The whole team looks at her strangely. "Come on, come on out, (Y/n)-chan." She waves the lollipop. "Don't you want a lolli?" (Y/n) pokes his head inside the gym. "Come on, here it is. Come and get it." The (h/c) haired boy slowly walks to the blonde girl. "Here it is, it's right here..." He attempts to grab the lollipop but is captured by Hitoka. "Caught you!" She announces. The petite boy struggles to get out of her grip. "L-let me go, Hito-tan!" "Only if you promise to greet the team." He pouts. "Fine..." She lets go of him. "M-my name i-is (Y/n) (L-L-L/n). I-i-it's nice to meet you all!" He bows. He's so cute! The Volleyball team thought. Hitoka claps. "Very good! Here's your treat!" She hands him the lollipop. "Yay!" He happily takes it from her. "I feel like I just watched a comedy routine..." A short brunette comments. The whole team agrees. "OH! It's you!" The orange haired shortie exclaims. (Y/n), who was shorter than Shōyō, blinks at him. "Hinata-san? You're a part of the team?" Shōyō nods his head vigorously. "I'm surprised he doesn't yap about volleyball in class." A tall guy with black says as he looks towards (Y/n). "Anyways, you know him?" The tall ravenette asks Shōyō. The shortie nods his head rapidly. "He's my classmate! He's suuuuuuuuuuuper smart, and always gets 98s, 99s, or even 100s on all his tests!" The male with the shaved head approaches (Y/n), unintentionally pulling an intimidating face. Before the bald male could when reach him, the short (h/c) haired boy gulps and feels tears forming in his eyes. The bald male panics. "O-oi! Don't cry! I didn't even do anything!" (Y/n) begins to sniffle. "P-please don't order your mob to kill me!" He drops to the ground and cries. "Hah?! I'm not a part of the Yakuza, you know!" (Y/n) stops crying. "R-really?" "Yes, really! Now, can you get up, (Y/n)-chan?" Hitoka says, panic evident in her voice. "Is he a part of the Yakuza?" The (e/c) eyed boy points to a tall man with a goatee. "T-that hurts!" The brunette says. "Nobody here is a part of the Yakuza, (Y/n)-chan. You're just imagining things again." "At least we know where Yachi gets it from." The short brunette with a blonde streak says. Another tall brunette approaches (Y/n) and Hitoka. "You must be our new manager. My name is Daichi Sawamura, and I'm the Captain of this team! I hope you'll manage us well, (L/n)!" (Y/n) stares blankly at the handsome brunette, before tears stream down his (s/t) (skin tone) face and he begins crying again. Everyone sweat drops.
"What did you think, (Y/n)-chan?" Hitoka asks as the two head home. "They're weird..." He mumbles. She laughs awkwardly. "...I know. But you'll get used to them. They might be weird and a tad bit scary at times, but they're nice people." (Y/n) nods. "I can agree on that." They walk in a comfortable silence. "Hey, Hito-tan?" Hitoka looks at the (h/c) haired boy. "Yes?" "I haven't forgotten about the heaps of (favorite candy) you owe me." He says in a serious tone. Hitoka bursts out laughing. "What? I'm being serious."
A/N: How was the first chapter? Was it at least decent? I really flop when it comes to stories that include a character in a sports related amime.
