Skid Knees | Y.M

               Lue for the entirety of the barbecue was trying to catch ahold of Yaku's attention, but for some odd reason she was always blocked by someone yanking him away or himself being over motherly toward the players. Lue plopped down at the table where the other managers were, her face dropping to the surface of the table. "Loo?" Yachi poked her friends cheek. Lue only whined as a response. "Still can't lock down your man?" Hana chuckled stuffing a piece of meat into her mouth. "Just pull him away from them! They were doing it to you earlier, only fair." Mai smiled gently patting the top of Lue's head. The pouty girl looked up with wide watery eyes and stared at her friends. "What if Yaku doesn't want me to pull him away?" She sounded like a little kid. The group all shared glances before bursting out into giggles. Lue sat up and rubbed her eyes with her fist, "Don't laugh! I'm serious!" She pouted harder with pinched brows. "We know- we aren't laughing at that!" Yukie chimed in leaning on Eri's shoulder.

Lue narrowed her eyes to try and figure out what they were all so giggly about when a hand reached out and patted her head softly. "Kiyoko?" Lue looked up at the mature girl. "I'm positive he wants to talk to you as much as you do," She signaled with her eyes to look behind her, so Lue did. She felt her heart flutter seeing Yaku gazing at her with a longing expression. She watched as his body jolted when he noticed her staring back at him, he blushed heavily and looked back at Sugawara and Akaashi. Her eyes lit up as she pushed herself up from the table, her fist in a proud up right position. "I'm going to do it! Before we leave back home!" She stated to the group who gave her engouraging smiles. With a new found confidence she skipped over to Yaku, locking her arm around his.

"Lue!" He tensed up from the sudden move. "We we're just speaking about you!" Sugawara hummed taking a sip of his drink. "You were?" Lue moved her head to the side. Before Sugawara could say anything else Yaku shouted shoving his face close to Lue's, "L-Let's go over there!!" Sugawara and Akaashi stood there waving at the two figures moving farther away. "Do you think he's going to do it?" Sugawara chuckled staring at other boy. "If he doesn't I will." Akaashi said lightly as he sipped his drink. Suga's eyes jumped out of their sockets! "You like Loo!!" He whisper yelled causing Akaashi to blush very lightly while looking at the small brunette walking away. The boy has been admiring her from afar ever since their encounter on the second day. They've had conversations every chance he could get one. He liked her personality a lot, she was bubbly and giggly, and she smelt like gingerbread men. The simple thought of her scent made Akaashi choke on his drink.

"Well, I don't blame you. She's very dependable and sweet." The silver haired male patted Akaashi's shoulder. The black haired boy just gave a curt nod and continued to sip his drink, he knew his feelings wouldn't be returned. He was honestly shocked on how he could be so jealous of someone so much shorter than himself. He chuckled at his own thought and stared up at the sky, good luck Yaku, you're defienetly a lucky guy.

Yaku sat down near a tree letting his head rest on it's trunk. Thoughts of all the guys pulling him away from Lue just to tease him bouncing around in his head like a pinball machine. Lue waddled over to his side and sunk down beside him. She watched him breath, his eyes shut gently like he was relaxing after a long hard day. The sight before her eyes made her giggle, her hand over her mouth to stifle it. Yaku rolled his head to face her and peaked one eye open. "Is my misery amusing to you?" He said dryly. She shook her head and scooted closer to him. Lue pulled her knees to her chest and leaned her head on them as she stared at the honey eyed boy. "What?" He raised a brow, his hand slowly inching over to her hand that rested just centimeters beside his. "What misery could you be talking about this time,

"Ya-Ku Mor-I-Su-Ke" Lue pronounced his name slowly and teasing like. Yaku's heart jumped to his throat and he got sweaty. The way she just said that made him go crazy and the way her lips formed each syllable drove him with the biggest urge to tackle her and shroud her in kisses. His eyes stayed focused on her lips until a small scar caught his attention. Lue has a small, but long scar on her knee, since when? He changed his sitting spot from the tree base to right in front of her with her knees in between his legs. His hands rested on her thighs closest to her knees as he leaned down to exaime the scar. Because he was so caught up in his own mind, trying to figure out the exact moment she got the damage, he couldn't see just how red her face was. The innocent skin to skin contact was too much for the girl, his hands were callusesed over and rough, but felt so warm and gentle on her skin.

"When did you get this?" Yaku's concerned voice pulled Lue out of her small trance. She blinked a few times and stared at the boy, seeing how he was now moving her knee back and forth to get different angles of the mark. She stared at it for a moment before a single memory played in her mind, "Oh, I got that when we first met. When you almost head butted me I skid my knee!" She said almost too happily. "I'm so sorry!" Yaku snapped his head up feeling instantly guilty. Lue stared back a little confused. "Why be sorry, it's one of my favorite days," She said softly. "Favorite days?" Yaku mumbled getting lost in her dark eyes. "Of course!" She nodded vigorously and leaning forward with a determined pout. "It was the day I met you! You helped me see color again Yaku! You helped show me that there are people out there who will accept me for me!" Her hands gripped his. "Yaku, if we never bumped into each other that day I don't think I'd ever be this happy!" She squeezed his hands tighter feeling so much bubble up to her chest.

Yaku's eyes grew in size, his heart was jumping from it's spot and banging against his ribcage. "Sure, we would've met because of me becoming the teams manager, but I without meeting you the day before, I would've been terrified to meet new people and ran away!" She paused and stared down at her knee, "I'm so grateful for getting that skid knee," She looked back up and smiled brightly at the boy in front of her. Yaku sat there with his hands being held by hers and with a raging heart. He was dazed by her completely. Lue noticed, she let go of his hands to cup his cheeks and shake him out of his weird trance. "Yaku—"

The boy had snapped out of his mind and pinned the girl down. Her body locked in between his. Her cheeks burned heavily and her eyes were wider than ever before. Yaku has never felt this way for someone before- hell he never thought something could become more important that volleyball to
him! But here now, with his lips melting into hers, he didn't want anything else than to always be by her side. Lue slowly shut her eyes and relaxed into the wonderus sensation. The two forgetting about the outside world for a moment.

Well, until someone cleared their throat causing the two love birds to physically jump away from one another. Coach Ukai and Coach Nekomata stood across from them, one with a disgusted scowl and one with a surprised smirk. It was dead quiet between the four before Ukai shouted at the two to get back to the rest. Yaku was the first at his feet. He bowed quickly and apologized before yanking Lue to her feet and dragging her away. "What's up with those kids? This isn't some freaking tv drama!" Ukai groaned rubbing his face feeling overwhelmed by kids who weren't even his responsibility. "I think they make a great pair," Nekomata sighed patting the young Ukai's back.

Once they got back to the rest the two were instantly separated. Yaku was pulled by Kuroo and Inouka, trying to pull it out of him if he ended up asking Loo out like he planned. While Lue was dragged away by Yukie and Kaori to the girls mentioning how a certain orange haired boy had saw her and Yaku "sucking faces". Lue snapped her head over to Yachi who was chuckling nervously. "Oh come on!" Hana grabbed her shoulders, "No need to be shy now Loo!" She giggled. "Is he a good kisser?!" Kaori eyed the girl down. Lue felt her face heating up and knew she was on the verge of over heating. As the girls surrounded her in questioned and hugs, only a few noticed one of the other random volleyball players pointing a camera at them. It was a cute moment of friendship between the eight girls, now captured forever in time.

From across the way Yaku stared lovingly at the blushing girl, he ignored the howling boys around him and focused on Lue.

I'll ask her, I will
