The Final Day of the Tokyo Training Camp

It was the last day of Karasuno's training camp in Tokyo, and as usual, they had their ups and downs, but the team always gave their best. Kuroo, however, seemed to be on a different mission this week. Every practice, he'd flirt with (Y/n) and, without fail, plant a kiss on her forehead as they began. (Y/n) couldn't help but be elated—she finally found someone who truly made her feel happy and special.

As the training came to a close, Daichi stepped out of the bathroom and overheard an interesting conversation, causing him to stop in his tracks. He peeked around the corner, his eyes widening in surprise.

"Ahhh, I'm so tired," Hinata complained, flopping down onto the ground with a dramatic sigh.

( Y/n) panted heavily, wiping sweat from her forehead with a towel. "You all need to keep pushing yourselves—do your best to survive until the end."

Daichi blinked, caught off guard by her intense energy and leadership. He hadn't expected this side of her to shine so brightly. But then, his attention shifted as Tanaka spoke up.

"I just happened to overhear something... and I was going to keep it quiet, but..." Tanaka paused dramatically.

"What is it?" (Y/n) asked, confused.

"After all the practice matches are over... The coaches are treating us to a barbecue!" Tanaka beamed.

"Bar... be... cue?!" Noya, Tanaka, and Hinata echoed in shock.

From the sidelines, Akaashi turned to his teammates. "Who do we play next?"

"Karasuno," he answered, not sounding particularly concerned. "Again?"

"They've got sharp spikes," another Fukurodani player noted.

"But they look pretty exhausted now," someone else observed, glancing over to where Karasuno was winding down.

At that moment, Tanaka, Noya, and Hinata broke out in song, their voices rising in unison.

"Meaty, meat, meat, meaty meat!"

"Put 'em together, you get meat and meat!"

"Meaty meat, meat, hooray for meat, energy times a hundred!"

"Hallelujah, hallelujah!" they sang, their voices loud and exuberant.

The Fukurodani players exchanged confused glances.

"What the...? They're terrifying," one of them muttered under his breath.

"Meat is god, meat is a god!" Tanaka, Noya, and Hinata continued, dancing energetically while Kageyama awkwardly moved his hips in an attempt to join in.

From across the gym, the coach chuckled. "Sensei, did you tell them about the barbecue?" he asked as he watched the scene unfold.

"Well, it just says 'meal' on the schedule," the coach replied with a smile. "But I guess it all worked out in the end."

Back on the court, (Y/n) tossed the ball up for Kageyama to set. "Synchronized attack," they both called out, their movements in perfect harmony. They dashed forward together, (Y/n) leaping high in the air. With a powerful swing, she slammed the ball into the ground. The sharp crack of the ball hitting the floor echoed throughout the gymnasium, leaving Fukurodani momentarily stunned.

( Y/n) landed gracefully, her body feeling light and satisfied. She let out a soft laugh, wiping sweat from her brow. "Whew, it's been a while since I hit that ball so hard," she giggled, her expression so cute that it made the boys nearby melt.

"She's cute, bro," one of them whispered.

"Yeah, I wonder if she has a boyfriend," another added, looking at her with newfound interest.

"Let's talk to her after the match," one of them suggested.

Kuroo, who was nearby, overheard the conversation. His expression darkened immediately.

No one should be thinking about my Pumpkin like that, he thought, his jealousy flaring up. He quickly strode over to (Y/n), wrapping his arms around her from behind and shooting a glare at the boys who had been eyeing her.

Startled, (Y/n) looked up, confused. "What's going on?"

"Kuroo!" Nekomata shouted from the sidelines. "We still have practice! Why are you hugging her?"

But Kuroo simply leaned in and kissed (Y/n) gently on the forehead, his possessive gaze still locked on the boys who had been staring. "Don't worry about them," he murmured before letting go and walking away.

( Y/n) stood there, dumbfounded. She slowly touched her forehead where his lips had just been. "What... was that?" she wondered aloud, still trying to process the sudden affection.

Tsukishima, who had been watching the scene with a raised eyebrow, broke the silence. "(Y/n)-san, let's continue the match," he said, his voice steady and unbothered.

( Y/n) nodded, still in a daze, but ready to refocus on the game.

After the match, the entire team erupted in excitement. "IT'S BARBECUE TIME!" Tanaka, Noya, Hinata, and Kageyama shouted in unison.

( Y/n) wiped the sweat from her forehead, laughing at their never-ending energy. "They're still as energetic as ever," she remarked, taking a sip of water.

"You all did a great job," the coach and sensei praised, offering a warm smile.

"Hai!!" the team chorused, grinning widely.

As the group gathered around the grill, the atmosphere was light and festive. The sounds of sizzling meat and happy chatter filled the air.

"THANK YOU FOR THE FOOD!" everyone yelled, diving into the barbecue feast. (Y/n) grabbed a plate, piling it with a mix of meat and vegetables, and began eating.

Suga, ever the considerate one, came over and added two onigiris to her plate. "(Y/n)-san, here. You should eat more," he said kindly.

"Thank you," (Y/n) smiled up at him, grateful for the thoughtful gesture.

She wandered to a quiet spot on the grass and sat down to continue eating.

"She's eating alone," one of the boys whispered.

"Go talk to her," another urged.

Two players from Fukurodani nervously approached her, their eyes shy. "H-Hello," one of them stammered.

"Hello," (Y/n) greeted them with a sweet, innocent smile that made their hearts race.

"C-Can we sit with you?" the other asked hesitantly.

Before (Y/n) could respond, a familiar voice called out from behind. "Pumpkin, there you are! Come join us."

Kuroo suddenly appeared, pulling her gently by the arm. He shot a sharp glare at the two boys who had been talking to her, giving them an unmistakable 'she's mine' look. The boys quickly turned away, retreating with their tails between their legs.

( Y/n) blinked, unsure of what just happened. She couldn't help but laugh at how protective Kuroo was. "Kuroo, what was that?"

"Nothing," he smirked, pulling her along to join the rest of the team. "Now let's eat."
