The next day, (Y/n) walked toward the school gate where the Karasuno team was already waiting.

"Ohayo!" (Y/n) greeted them with a warm smile, waving cheerfully.

"Ohayo, (Y/n)-san!" the boys chorused, their faces lighting up—well, most of them. Tsukishima barely acknowledged her with his usual stoic expression.

"Looks like everyone's here," Daichi said, clapping his hands. "Let's head out!"

"Let's goooo!" Hinata cheered, his excitement contagious.

They arrived at the training camp later that morning.

"Alright, everyone," Ukai instructed, gesturing toward the building. "Unpack your things, then meet at the gymnasium over there," he said, pointing to a large building nearby.

"Hai!" the team responded enthusiastically, rushing inside to settle in.

Since (Y/n) was the only other girl, she was assigned to share a room with Kiyoko. After unpacking, (Y/n) stood up and stretched.

"(Y/n)-san, are you heading to the gym now?" Kiyoko asked as she picked up a bag.

"Yes," (Y/n) replied, slinging her water bottle over her shoulder.

"Great. Could you help me carry these uniforms?" Kiyoko asked, handing her one of the bags.

"Sure," (Y/n) said, peeking inside. She spotted her jersey with the number 13.

"Oh, it's beautiful," she said with a smile, admiring the design.

"Let's go?"

(Y/n) nodded, and the two headed toward the gymnasium.

In the gym, Kiyoko placed the bags down. "Everyone, I have your uniforms!" she called out.

(Y/n) helped lay them out as the boys gathered around.

"Whoa, these are awesome!" Hinata exclaimed, his eyes sparkling.

"Alright, put your uniforms aside for now," Ukai said, clapping his hands to get everyone's attention. "We're practicing hard today. Tomorrow is the match!"

"Hai!" the team responded, their energy bouncing off the gym walls.

That evening, after an exhausting day of practice, (Y/n) collapsed onto her futon next to Kiyoko.

"Tomorrow's the big day," (Y/n) murmured, staring at the ceiling.

"Let's hope we win," Kiyoko replied with a soft smile.

"Mm-hmm," (Y/n) mumbled sleepily as her eyes began to close.

"Goodnight, (Y/n)," Kiyoko whispered, chuckling quietly as she turned off the lights.

"Night," (Y/n) murmured, already slipping into dreamland.

The next day, the team stood outside the gymnasium, waiting.

(Y/n)'s attention was drawn to a group approaching from the other side. It was Nekoma.

Her eyes scanned their team until they landed on their captain.

What the fuck?

Her jaw clenched as she locked eyes with Kuroo, both of them clearly stunned.

"Fuck," she muttered under her breath.

"Let's head inside," Ukai said, leading Karasuno into the gym. (Y/n) lingered behind for a moment with Kuroo.

"(Y/n)-chan? What are you doing here?" Kuroo asked, still processing the sight of her in a Karasuno tracksuit.

"Volleyball," she said simply. "But Kuroo, please don't tell anyone that I'm a girl," she pleaded, her voice dropping as she clenched her fists.

"They don't know?" Kuroo asked, his eyebrows shooting up.

"No," (Y/n) said firmly. "You, Karasuno, and Kiyoko are the only ones."

Kuroo's gaze flickered to her before quickly averting, his cheeks tinged pink. "Alright, I won't say anything... on one condition."

(Y/n) raised an eyebrow, waiting.

"Bake me a strawberry cake," he said, scratching the back of his neck sheepishly.

"Deal! Thanks, Kuroo!" she said with relief, flashing him a bright smile.

"Let's go," he said, leading the way inside.

Back with the Karasuno boys, Daichi raised an eyebrow at her. "There you are. Everything okay?"

"Sorry! I was in the bathroom," she lied, offering an awkward smile.

"Alright, get changed. The boys are waiting."

After slipping into her uniform, (Y/n) joined the team on the court.

"(Y/n)-san! Over here!" Hinata waved excitedly.

"You look great in the uniform!" he said, beaming.

"Thank you," (Y/n) replied with a shy smile, earning nods of agreement from the rest of the team.

"Asahi-san, do you have a hair tie? I forgot mine," she asked.

"Yeah, here," Asahi said, handing her one.

"Thanks! I'll give it back later," she said, tying her hair into a ponytail and letting a few strands fall loose at the front.

As she glanced across the court, she caught Kuroo staring at her. Their eyes met briefly, and they exchanged a small smile before lining up.

"Let's line up!" Daichi called, and the team stood in formation. (Y/n) took her place next to Yamaguchi.

"We now begin the practice match between Nekoma High School and Karasuno High School," the referee announced.

Both teams bowed.

"Let's play!"
