♡ | 10

The second match ended with a close score of 27-25, and Karasuno emerged victorious, tying the series.

"You did great!" Nishinoya said, giving (Y/n) a thumbs up.

"You really brought it back!" Tanaka added, his grin wide as he panted from the exhausting match.

"They're strong," (Y/n) panted, wiping the sweat from her forehead. Kiyoko handed her a water bottle.

"Thanks," (Y/n) said, taking a quick sip before glancing over at Kuroo, who was sweating from the intense game.

"He's hot... Wait, what the heck am I thinking? I like Hubby!"

She shook her head to clear the thought, but couldn't help noticing how much Kuroo resembled her husband in a way.

"Tanaka?"

Tanaka turned his head at her call.

"Can you play the next match? I need a break," she asked.

He nodded with a smile. "Sure! Take a break! I've got it."

(Y/n) smiled in relief, grateful for the moment to catch her breath.

The third match began, and (Y/n) sat on the bench next to Ukai, who had asked her to stay there.

The match was getting intense. The boys were visibly tired, and the scoreboard showed 18-16, with Nekoma leading.

"Coach, can I play?" (Y/n) asked, her gaze never leaving the court.

Ukai glanced at her and raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure?"

(Y/n) nodded firmly.

"Then go for it."

With a determined smile, (Y/n) stood up, grabbing Tanaka's number card. She headed to the side of the court, ready to sub in.

The referee blew the whistle, and Tanaka saw her, walking over to pass the card to her.

"Leave it to me," he said, grinning.

"Do your best," (Y/n) replied.

As Tanaka handed the card to the referee, (Y/n) sprinted onto the court.

"Welcome back!" Kageyama called, giving her a nod.

"Thanks!" she answered, ready for the next challenge.

"Looks like she's back," Yamato commented from the sidelines.

Kuroo smirked, his eyes never leaving (Y/n) as the game resumed.

(Y/n) leaped into action, sending the ball flying across the court with incredible force. It slammed into the floor.

"Mou ippon!" Karasuno's team cheered, celebrating the successful point.

(Y/n) landed gracefully, breathing heavily but smiling. Kuroo, standing in front of her, looked at her with concern.

"Are you okay?" he asked, his tone softer than usual.

"Just a little tired," she said with a nod.

The score was now 24-24, and the tension was palpable. (Y/n) looked at the scoreboard, feeling the weight of the moment. The whistle blew again.

"Asahi, nice serve!" (Y/n) heard from the side.

Asahi served, and Nekoma's libero received it, sending the ball flying toward (Y/n)'s side. Daichi set it to Kageyama, who passed it to Hinata.

(Y/n) signaled for Hinata to take the shot, and he nodded eagerly.

Although she was exhausted, (Y/n) pushed herself forward. She jumped into the air with all her remaining energy, but Kuroo was ready to block.

Hinata spiked the ball, but Kuroo leapt higher, blocking it with perfect timing. The ball fell to the court.

Daichi dove to save it, but it was already too late.

Nekoma: 25-24.

"Gomen!" Daichi shouted, apologizing to his teammates.

"Don't worry about it!" Asahi reassured him.

(Y/n) took a few deep breaths, feeling drained but determined. She looked up to see Kuroo tossing the ball into the air. He jumped, spiking it with powerful precision.

Daichi managed to receive it, sending it to Karasuno's side, but their libero returned it, and the ball was set up for Kuroo once again.

As Kuroo launched into another spike, Daichi went low to receive, sliding across the floor in a desperate attempt to save it.

But this time, he missed. The ball hit the floor.

The referee blew the whistle.

Nekoma wins the match.

"Sorry, everyone," Daichi apologized, standing up and brushing himself off.

"It's fine, it was just a practice match," Asahi said, trying to lift their spirits.

All of Karasuno nodded, smiling despite their exhaustion.

After the match, both teams lined up to bow. "Thanks for the game," they all said in unison.

"Good job, everyone," Ukai said, giving them a proud smile. "You can go change now."

(Y/n) grabbed her bag and walked toward the exit, where she saw the Nekoma players chatting.

"Next time, we'll win," Tanaka said, grinning at Yamato.

"I'll be looking forward to it," Yamato replied with a smile.

(Y/n) made her way over to Kuroo, who was standing nearby.

"(Y/n)-chan~," Kuroo said with a playful smile, patting her head.

"Hey," she greeted, her smile brightening.

"Are you heading home now?" he asked.

(Y/n) nodded.

"Then, let's talk tonight after dinner," he suggested, his smirk widening.

"Okay, sure," she agreed, returning his smile.

"Since we're all here, let's head back now," Ukai called.

"Hai!" (Y/n) responded cheerfully.

Kuroo waved at her with a grin. "See you tonight!"

"Bye~," (Y/n) waved back as she left to join her team.
