"Everyone! Meet your new coach. Coach Ukai!" Takeda-sensei suddenly says.
"C-Coach Ukai?" Daichi asks.
"He's my Grandpa." The boys continue to bug him with more questions until he himself tells them off.
"Anyway, please get ready for a match. I want to see what you are made of." He says.
"A match? With who?"
"Karasuno Neighborhood Association!" He announces proudly and everyone starts to practice. You help Kiyoko prepare the scoreboard and fill the water bottles. You also helped get some fresh towels and picked some balls up.
"You're late! What's your position?" You hear Coach Ukai say.
"W-wing spiker." You hear someone say. Then suddenly you hear footsteps enter the room. It was Asahi. Soon, the Karasuno Neighborhood Association arrives.
"Ugh! There are two members who won't be able to play because they have work. Do you have a setter I could borrow?" Coach Ukai asks as you watch Sugawara take the position to the other side of the court.
"Takeda-sensei, is that who I think it is?" Coach Ukai asks, referring to you.
"Huh? That's l/n f/n. Our first year assistant manager."
"Huh?! Manager?! What a waste of talent." He exclaims as he goes near you.
"Oy! You! Aren't you that ace from Shiratowizawa that took your team to Nationals when you were in Junior High?" He screams at you making you jump.
"N-no." you say.
"What do you mean no?! You are l/n f/n right? I really can't believe you are hiding your skills and talent by being the assistant manager."
"I'm not hiding." You say as you start to walk out from the gym.
"Then be their assistant coach." He says as you halt.
"Fly with us l/n-san." Daichi finally says. You sigh.
"T-That was you!" Tsukishima says.
"I watched your last game. You're the Queen of the Court, Oikawa's girlfriend. That was you in the pictures! The girls would call you names like slut-," Tsukishima was cut off.
"Tsukishima," Kageyama says in a stern voice.
"Shut up." He says. Before Tsukishima could reply you finally speak up.
"He's right though. That is me." You say as you turn to them and face them.
"We were about to win Nationals. That day was our last game. That morning some girl approached me and showed me her tattoo on her chest. It was the same as Oikawa's. She didn't even need to say anything, I knew as soon as she showed me. I was his girlfriend after all. I can still remember where it is. It's on his back on the center where the line of his back is. That line that I used to trace whenever he would come over and stay the night."
"L/n-san..." Sugawara says trying to comfort you.
"He cheated on me. My friends showed me photos of them together in hallways, kissing each other's cheeks, thinking that no one could see them. Oikawa wouldn't have known that she was her soulmate unless he has seen her chest, right? I tried to swat these thoughts away but to no avail." You gulp as you try to contain your tears.
"But why did Iwaizumi-san say that he did nothing wrong? If he did something that horrible to you?" Kageyama asks.
"No one else knows. Oikawa just recently discovered that I knew. I couldn't break Hajime's and his bond because of me. Hajime would never get over it and would get mad at him so much. He would never get him away with it."
"He really didn't deserve you," Kageyama mutters under his breath.
"I was Shiratorizawa's ace. But that day, I was the cause of our downfall. My receives were off. My spikes kept getting blocked. My serves were either too strong or too weak. Everything inside me was in pain. I was breaking. Slowly but surely. I remember liquids dripping down my face and I didn't even know if they were sweat or tears. I remember looking at the scoreboard and seeing that we were about to lose our first set. I remember looking at the crowd for Oikawa but he wasn't there. Who was there were his fans screaming at me telling me that I was gonna miss that serve or that I was dumb. It was normal until it wasn't."
"The girls in the bleachers suddenly called my attention during the timeout. They opened this huge tarpaulin that contained me. My body. Pictures that I sent to Oikawa when he promised that they would only be between us. That was the last string. I completely broke. The little to none sanity I had left inside me was gone. It has deteriorated. Before I could react, my coach benched me. The entire game. We lost 2-0 and that's all because of me."
—flashback
You lay on the ground of your court beside all the balls you have failed to serve. You scream in regret as this was all your fault. YOU were the reason why your team lost. YOU were the reason why you failed. YOU were the reason why Oikawa cheated on you. Suddenly, you heard footsteps but was too tired to even look at who it was. You closed your eyes and as soon as you opened them, you were greeted by Oikawa's brown and worried eyes.
"Babe, I heard you lost. And I know how it feels. Wanna talk about it over ice cream?" He says as he offers his hand for you to take it but you slap it away. He sighs as you turn, your back facing the ceiling. He soon tries to pick you up but you squirm and stood up by yourself.
"No, you don't know."
"What?"
"You don't know anything?!" You scream.
"My pictures! It got out. H-how could you do this to me?" Was all you could say but you fear that if you didn't stop yourself, you would've already punched Oikawa and used all his weaknesses that you know well against him.
"What? I didn't know about that. What happened? I couldn't do that to you, baby."
"We both knew how this would end." You say in a calm voice.
"Wha-,"
"We both knew that we would never get that happy ending."
"I-,"
"So why did we even try?" You finally say as those words pierced Oikawa's heart. He felt guilty that he thought you didn't know about his soulmate and how you wanted to break up with him for a different reason. He really didn't know anything. You walk out the gym but he stops you by hugging your back.
"No! No! Don't do this baby! I can't do this! You're my soulmate. Please!" He pleads but despite it being painful to see him like this, again, you aren't stupid. So you let him go.
—end of flashback
"So after that, I told myself that no more volleyball and definitely no Oikawa. I can't trust anyone anymore to the point that I could never play volleyball." You say as the others sigh.
"But this time, I guess it's different." You say as you smile and the others do too.
"So yes, Karasuno. I will fly with you."
