Day 10 : slowly falling into place

yesterday you had spent the second half of the day with a tissue up your nose, but eventually your nose did stop bleeding. But all the managers made you sit outside with the guys and not allow you to help at all with meals which made you a bit frustrated. This just meant being dragged by Kuroo over to his spot at the table where Bokuto and Akaashi were along with various other boys.

This morning though you were able to get up with the other girls and be helpful after the last two eventful days. you quickly got ready in a pair of sweats and a t shirt that was actually your own along with some sneakers . you make your way towards the kitchen with the other girls on the way you pull back your hair into a braid for a nice change.

when you get to the kitchen you and the girls get to work right away preparing breakfast. You all now all got along really well and working together became smoother now then it was the first couple days, you guys joke around talk about the teams along with things back home among other things. You at the moment were unloading the dishwasher and putting dishes away or onto the counter to be used this morning when you hear the girls start to giggle. 

"hey (y/n) i think someones looking for you" Yukie says making you turn your head to see Akaashi standing in the door way.

"Oh hey Akaashi what's up?" you ask as you face him.

"you've forgotten something twice now." he says back making you confused

"I forgot something?" you say back to him raising an eyebrow up in confusion. Akaashi shakes his head slightly before pointing to the counter where the coffee pot was. that's when it hit you. 

"shoot i really did forget, uhm here you go sit down out there and ill bring you out a cup in a sec okay?" you ask him, feeling bad for forgetting twice now about your daily coffee with him. 

"only IF you sit with me today at breakfast" he says back making you roll your eyes at him.

"fine, but go back out now I have stuff i still need to help with" you say before gently pushing him out.

He finally left and sat down, the girls teased you a bit about it but you all had a good laugh while you all worked on finishing breakfast. The others brought the food out while you brewed a pot of coffee grabbing two cups before filing them up, you peak out to the dinning hall to see a spot in between Akaashi and Bokuto, "better make it three cups" you thought, so that Bokuto wouldn't steal any from you. You brought out the cups and placed them in front of the boys before putting down your cup and sitting down. Akaashi patted your head as a thank you before you all began eating.

Eventually it was time to clean up breakfast while the coaches explained to the boys what the plans were for the day. When you and the girls finish up you walk back out and listen in as well. Today each team was doing there own thing to work and focus on things that they need to improve on. after the coaches finished it was time to go to the gym and get to work.

"okay (y/n) your working with us again today" Kuroo says coming over to you. you let out a sigh looking at him standing up from your spot at the table.

"I hope this time you mean by working with you guys ill be on the sidelines and not at risk for getting another bloody nose." you say back as you begin to walk with him and the rest of Nekoma to one of the gyms.

"now I personally can't promise anything but I doubt you'll get a nosebleed again today." he says with laugh.

"okay but if I get one its on you" you say back gently nudging him with your elbow.

During practice you helped take notes and grabbed things when they needed them, you also refilled water bottles and handed them out to the boys during breaks along with towels for them to use as well. It was honestly a little boring but it was consistent work and it always had you doing something. All the guys on the Nekoma team were really nice too, they all were kind and made you laugh with jokes during breaks they also checked in on you to make sure you weren't pushing your self so hard after the nose bleed incident yesterday.

as you watched the team practice they looked overall like a very well rounded team all around. It looks way different actually watching them then playing with them. Having Kenma there was a huge difference, he may seem to not want to take part but he was really smart with his moves and where he would set the ball, although his confidence in blocking the ball could improve it was made up for by his setting. Both middle blockers on the team were good as well along with the libero was very skilled too. It was hard to pick who to actually watch during practice.

The coach wrapped up practice early before lunch to allow the boys to relax, meanwhile you had to go to the kitchen to help with preparing lunch for the day. when you arrived most of the other managers were there and they asked you how it went so far today.

"It was actually went really good compared to yesterday" you say with a laugh the others chuckled to "Its way different than I thought though, its kinda hard to watch from the sidelines since I use to play myself but decided to quit once I entered high school last year. My brother didn't like me showing up to his games so I really have became quite distant from volleyball up until now, but its really nice to be back in it even if its just for a short amount of time, Like today I couldn't stop watching the boys practice they get so into it and to watch such a well rounded team like Nekoma practice was just so cool" you explain to them as you work all of them listened carefully to what you were saying.

"If you like it so much its never to late to get back into it, you clearly love volleyball, so why not go back to it" you hear a soft voice say you turn to see the first year assistant manager Yachi who looked a little embarrassed about what she had just said. you look and smile at her.

"You know I've never even considered that really after how bad things went last year after I quit, I don't think the girls at my school would give me another chance but i wouldn't mind getting back into it." you tell her with a smile. 

"why not just change schools, some other schools in your area have volleyball teams, like Karasuno for example all you have to do is pass the entrance exams and get parental approval if you didn't want to play at your school so badly. Heck you could honestly go to any of the schools that are here at this training camp if your scores are good enough." one of the other girls said. making you take a pause to think, they were absolutely right you didn't really have anything stopping you and you knew your mom would most likely be fine to transfer to another school, so what was stopping you? 

suddenly you felt something deep down inside you slowly just fall down into place.
