"Why are ya sucking so bad today, Tsumu?" Osamu teases his brother who just served his ball out of bounds.

"Shut yer trap, Samu!!"

The current score was 12 to 10 with your team in the lead.

"Lucky! That one sounded like it was a meteor," Mimi sighs in relief.

"It's okay, we got this! Suna-san, nice serve!" You shout while Suna just nods his head.

"I got it!" Kaze says and hits it to Atsumu.

"Aran-kun!!" Atsumu shouts then sets the ball to Aran.

You were in the front row with Osamu and Dazai and are getting ready to block.

"Let's cover his cross!" You informed the other two.

They did as you said and before Ojiro could hit a straight, you leaned your body last minute to block the straight since you were the one closest to the left side of the court. In the end, the spike is shut out causing your teammates to scream and jump on you.

"N-Nice, block, (L/N)-chan!!" They all cheer and high five you.

You blush and just nod back with your poker face, "It wasn't anything."

"Everyone come in," Kita says and your whole team huddles in a circle.

"And now,"

"Osu!!" everyone yells with their hands in the middle as you just stare in shock.

'When was the last time I ever did this? We aren't even a real team...' You think and look at your fist.

Osamu notices you dazing away and fist bumps your hand.

"You've never done one of these things before with yer team or something?" He asks which caught your attention.

"N-No," but before you could talk any further Atsumu speaks.

"We're not going to lose! We are the stronger team!" He says confidently as his teammates nod in agreement.

You just stare back and smirk, "Bring it on." You then turn to your teammates and pat all of their backs, "We're going to win this together!" You all had just finished the second set with Atsumu's team winning.

"We're not going to give up yet! Watch your back in this next set, (F/N)-chan!!" Kaze points and smirks at you while you give her a glare.

"We're going to win!"

"We're..."

'When was the last time I said that?' you ask yourself as you turn to see all of your teammates joking around and patting each other's backs while drinking water.

"Why is it so... team-like?"

"It's not 'team-like.' It is a team," Kita gives you a little smile, "Are you having fun?"

It was like life had paused for a second.

"Fun?"

This game wasn't supposed to be fun. It was supposed to be a normal match in order for your future not to be ruined with volleyball once again but why didn't it feel like that anymore?

"I'm going to be aiming my serve at you, (F/N)-chan! So be prepared!" Atsumu all of a sudden shouts with a smile to you as you just stare at him for a while.

You couldn't help but smile back at him, "Alright!" This catches Atsumu off guard and he blushes. This was the first time you smiled at him.

"What was that?"
