I was watching my friend, Kuroo playing what he loved most, volleyball. It was a match against Karasuno, and my heart dropped in nervousness. We were still ahead, but Karasuno was gaining on us. The team was tired and we ran out of timeouts.
Just when I thought we were going to lose another point Kuroo managed to block a spike given by Hinata Shoto, the little sunshine, as I like to call him. I let out a breath to relief as we managed to turn the game around. By this time we were tied with Karasuno. their coach immediately asked for a time out since their momentum had been stopped for the players to relax.
I had never thank anyone more than him right now since he gave us time to rest as well. I prepare towels and water for my little kittens. I have been established as the mother of the team if you dont count my male alternative. The boys really have taken to calling me-mom, and Kuroo-dad, since a few monthes ago.
I gave them their bottles and towels as they sat on the bench. I was shaking from nervousness so I couldn't even hold anything without shaking uncontrolably. Tenma, my favorite child, offered to help me. I wanted to decline but he took the towels and handed them to the team before I could say anything. Kind as he is, he has a knack to making me feel like I'm not doing my job properly. It makes me feel, incapable of my job. The boys have told me many times that I was more than capable of my job as manager but I can't help think they were only pitying me.
I walked to the old man, my grandad, coach Nekoma.
"Ji-san, can I help you with anything?"
"Thank you child, but I think you should rest. Go sit on the bench."
I complied with my grandfathers words and I walked to the boys. I went behind then and stood behind Kuroo. I lift my arms and placed them around his torso. Instantly, I layed my head on his shoulder, tired and exausted from the game. I could've cared less if he was sweaty or not.
He let me stay in that position for a while before looking up at me. With a sympathetic smile, he and the whole team knew of my severe nervousness everytime we play a match. How much it drains me emotionally, and tires me out. The whole team chuckled and sighed a little bit because of my predicament.
"Remind me why I'm your manager again?"
"You wanted to help your grandfather in managing us."- Tenma
"Right. *sigh* why does this always happen to me?"
"Its just how you are at this point"-Kuroo
I hug Kuroo more tightly, then placed a kiss on his cheek before burrowing into his neck. The rest of the boys grumble about it so I told them I'd kiss them on the cheek to before they enter the game. The whistle rang, indicating that time out was over. I was by the pole, waiting for the boys. I kissed their cheek one by one until Kuroo's turn, he pointed to his forehead and bent down to lower his head to my height. I tiptoed and gave him a quick kiss on the forehead before ushering him into the court.
The game ended nicely, with Nekoma winning. I let out a sigh of relief as they come back. I gave them their bottles and towel for the last time before they begin streching.
"Honestly, why were you so nervous? Its not like we're in a competition anyways."-Yaku
"I don't really know. I just am."
"Sis, your gonna have to toughen up a little you know?"-Kageyama
"Oh hush, Tobio. I can't help it."
"I saw you kiss the Cats by they way."-Kageyama
"Jealous much? I'll do it to you to if you want."
"No, thank you. I have enough of those at home."
Yes, Kageyama Tobio is my brother. Well, step-brother. I got lost when I was a child because my parents left me. Tobio's mom found me and raised me as her own, while trying to find my parents. It had been three years since I found out who my parents were, my mom's father was coach Nekoma. When he found out, he was livid at his daughter for leaving me behind.
Now I live with him in Tokyo. Tobio still calls me sister even though I dont stay in Miyagi anymore. He is two years my junior, meaning I'm in my third year while he's in his first. I came to Nekoma because they offered me a scholarship, courtesy to my grandfather. There I met the volleyball team. I was shy at first, but I got to open up more as time past. Now, their practically my family.
