Fly (Keishin Ukai) - COMPLETED

2 - Understanding

"Food is on me girls!" Yuki yelled as she wiped the sweat off her face with a towel. "I think after such a tough day of training, it is well deserved." The team cheered loudly - especially the first years - and Izumi walked over to her.

"I thought you had to pick up your little brother?"

"Fuck, I forgot about that." The captain grumbled. "Change of plan," her voice echoed. "I will meet you there. Start ordering without me, and I'm sure I'll arrive around the same time as the food."

"Are you sure you want to bring your brother with all of - us?" Her friend asked, her hands signalling to the girls. "You know how he gets, and I'm sure some of the girls are scared of him."

Yuki scratched the side of her head as she watched her teammates pack the equipment away. "Right - you've got a point. I'll just make sure to keep him in check. A smack over the head for each inappropriate comment seems fair." Yuki smiled at her friend, content with her decisions.

"You'll give him a concussion," Izumi answered with a deadpan look. The two shared a silent glance before bursting into laughter. Their teammates muttering to each other confused on the random outburst from the ace and vice-captain.

"Yuki, what are you getting to eat?" Tanaka yelled, catching the girl's attention.

"Uh - I-I haven't decided yet," Yuki mumbled a reply, her eyes glancing up to him with a small smile before quickly looking back to the menu. After the practice, Daichi had offered to buy food for the team as a celebration for the new assistant coach - though she told them many times that Ukai had not confirmed or denied whether she was the new assistant coach or not.

"So what did Coach get you to do? Was he mean? Sometimes he can be mean!" Hinata's voice was loud as he asked many questions to the older women.

"N-no, he was nice-"

"He better be otherwise I'll beat his ass!" Yú yelled standing up, Tanaka joining him, their fists in the air.

"Sit down!" Daichi told the two boys off, they were acting like scoundrels in a public place and they instantly listened sitting back down. Yuki had to admit; she had the utmost respect for the captain, he had sure been given a handful with the crazy first and second years.

"What did he ask you to do?" Suga - the vice-captain of the team - asked, his voice far gentler than the small redhead.

All eyes were on Yuki, and she shifted uncomfortably. "He asked m-me to pick a s-starting lineup," she answered quietly, her eyes avoiding contact. After a second of silence, her eyes shifted back up to see everyone was eagerly waiting for her to continue.

"Who did you put? Was it me? I know I'm short, but I can jump! I hope you saw my quick at-" Hinata started to ramble but was shut up by Kageyama smacking him over the head.

"Shut up, idiot!" His aggressive aura even caused Yuki to back down.

"Carry on," Suga smiled.

"I h-hope no one t-takes o-offence," she started, once again her palms becoming clammy - not only was she anxious with so many eyes on her, now, she was also worried about who she may offend. She only watched one practise session. What if she was completely wrong? What if they laughed at her? Her right hand tugged at the bottom of her left sleeve and picked at frayed pieces. "M-my starting s-six would b-b-be Daichi," she paused and internally panicked, would she have to explain her reasoning behind each one? "B-because of your r-receives, I think apart f-from Yú you h-have by f-far the b-best," Yuki paused as she waited for their reaction, fear striking deep as to what they might say.
