𝗜 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗬𝗼𝘂 [ Kuroo Tetsurou ]

♡ | 13

Every class, (Y/n) found herself constantly dozing off, her eyelids growing heavier with each passing minute. It wasn't that the lessons weren't interesting; it was just that the late-night conversations with Kuroo had started taking their toll on her sleep schedule. Hinata, ever the energetic one, noticed (Y/n)'s struggle and tried to wake her up.

"(L/n)-San! You're dozing off again!" Hinata whispered loudly, poking her side.

"Mm... I'm fine," (Y/n) mumbled sleepily, trying to fight the pull of sleep.

But just as she was about to drift off again, her phone buzzed in the pocket of her skirt. With a sigh, she pulled it out and saw Kuroo's name flash on the screen.

Kuroo♡

Kuroo
Oya Oya
What is my babe doing~?

(Y/n)
Kuroo, I'm in class. Stop texting and don't call me that.

Kuroo
But I want to talk and I will ;)

(Y/n)
We can talk at night.

Kuroo
But Babe~

(Y/n)
At night.

(Y/n) groaned, slipping the phone back into her pocket, hoping for some peace and quiet. But it wasn't long before her phone vibrated again. She took it out, her patience wearing thin as she read the new messages.

Kuroo♡

Kuroo
Babe~
Babeeee~
Don't ignore me~
Babeeeee~

(Y/n)
Kuroo, I'm in class! I told you we can talk at night.

Kuroo
Fine then, see you later babe~

Exasperated, (Y/n) put her phone back in her pocket and tried to focus on staying awake. It was hard, though, with her mind constantly drifting to thoughts of Kuroo. Soon enough, she was asleep again, but not for long.

After school, (Y/n) was back on the court, practicing with the boys. As usual, the gym was buzzing with energy, everyone working hard and laughing at each other's mistakes. But today, something new happened. Kiyoko entered with a girl that (Y/n) didn't recognize.

"Kiyoko-saaan!" Tanaka and Nishinoya shouted, bouncing up to her in excitement.

(Y/n) watched with mild concern as the boys nearly swarmed Kiyoko's companion. Feeling a little protective, she hurried over and grabbed their shirts, pulling them back.

"You guys are scaring her," (Y/n) said with a light but firm tone, causing both Tanaka and Nishinoya to stop in their tracks and look at her.

"Gomen," they apologized, stepping back.

Kiyoko smiled at (Y/n), clearly appreciative of her intervention. "Everyone, this is our new manager."

The girl nervously stepped forward, bowing slightly. "H-Hello, everyone. M-my name is Hitoka Yachi. It's nice to meet you," she said, her voice soft and shaky, but earnest.

The boys, of course, reacted the way they always did to a new girl. "She's cute!" Nishinoya exclaimed.

(Y/n) caught Yamaguchi staring at her with wide eyes, a small smile forming on her face as she whispered to herself, Looks like he likes her.

Kiyoko finished introducing everyone, and then it was (Y/n)'s turn. She walked up to Yachi and bowed. "It's nice to meet you, Yachi. I'm (L/n) (Y/n)."

"Nice to meet you too," Yachi replied, returning the bow.

Before anyone could say more, Takeda-sensei entered the room, holding a piece of paper.

"Everyone, I have an announcement," he said, silencing the chatter. The team gathered around him, curiosity buzzing in the air.

"We will have a training camp in Tokyo before the spring tournament!" Takeda-sensei announced, causing the boys to erupt into excited chatter.

"Finally!" Hinata exclaimed, practically bouncing in place. "We're gonna win the tournament for sure!"

But Takeda-sensei held up a hand to get their attention again. "But you all have final exams starting next month," he said with a serious tone.

The boys froze, their expressions dropping. Kageyama, Tanaka, Hinata, and Nishinoya immediately turned their heads away, clearly already dreading the exams.

"If you fail any subject, you can't go," Takeda-sensei finished, his gaze sharp.

Tanaka and Nishinoya dramatically dropped to their knees, making exaggerated "Bodhisattva" faces. "Nooo, the exams are too tough!" Tanaka groaned.

"Hey, stop with those faces!" Suga called out, clearly annoyed by the display.

"Sensei! Kageyama isn't breathing!" Asahi shouted in panic as Kageyama looked like he was about to pass out from stress.

(Y/n) grinned at their antics. This was the team she had come to love—their energy and dedication, even when things were tough.

Takeda-sensei cleared his throat. "Remember, you all need to pass, or you won't be able to attend the training camp."

(Y/n) raised her hand with a smile. "Takeda-sensei, who's going to be there?" she asked, curious about the competition they'd be facing.

"Since Nekoma invited us, we'll be training with them, along with Shinzen, Ubagawa, and Fukurodani," Takeda-sensei replied.

"Nekoma!" (Y/n) smiled to herself, already feeling the competition heat up in her chest. She had a certain connection with Nekoma and couldn't wait to face them again.

"Remember, you all need to pass, or you won't be able to go," Takeda-sensei repeated.

"Right!" The boys shouted together, their resolve strengthening.

"You all can do it," (Y/n) added with a warm smile, giving them a thumbs up. "You've got this."

"Since (Y/n)-San has faith in us, we can do it!" Tanaka exclaimed, pumping his fist in the air. "Karasuno..."

"Fight!" they all shouted together, their laughter ringing through the gym as they geared up for the challenge ahead.
