chapter twenty one

"K-keiji!" Y/n called as she stepped into the room. It was only Kuroo, Bokuto and Akaashi in the room. The three looked up, startled at the sudden intrusion.

"What's wrong? Why'd you want to come here?" Akaashi asked, walking over to the brunette. Y/n shook her head and hugged the boy.

"I just wanted to thank you...for earlier," y/n said, tightening the hug. Akaashi reciprocated the hug and rested his chin on y/n's head.

"I'll protect you no matter what. You don't have to thank me," Akaashi said, embracing the brunette with a soft smile on his face.

"Please don't do the dirty," Bokuto says, covering his eyes. Kuroo chuckles at Bokuto's sentence and stares at the two.

"Bokuto... we aren't those kinda people..." y/n says with a chuckle as she pulls away from Akaashi. Akaashi on the other hand, stands there flustered at Bokuto's remark.

"T-that's a really inappropriate thing to say, Bokuto-san," Akaashi stammered.

The four then spent a bit of time conversing with one another until y/n went back to her own room.

"BAR"
"BE"
"QUE"
The tangerine, baldy and black haired kid started reciting some song about meat and danced while the blueberry boy vibed along. Konoha, Komi and y/n stare at Karasuno in wonder.

"T-they're scary..." Konoha commented.

"How are they still so engergetic even with those losses? HOW?" you simply asked.

Y/n and the owls started preparing for the match against Karasuno. She realised that most of the team got along with the opponent. It was probably due to the time they spent together training at the end of each day. Once the game started, Karasuno used the moves they have tried to master this whole training camp against Fukurodani. The combos were executed very finely but Fukurodani was still leading the game.

Y/n noticed that Bokuto was starting to get a bit stressed on the second set. The rest of the team, coach and other two managers seemed to have noticed this too.

"Don't tell me it's happening..." y/n sighed, rubbing her temples. Kaori and Yukie simply just stared into space and possibly killed themselves internally. They looked so white and deceased, it was comical.

It was time for Bokuto to serve. He took in a big breath and tossed up the ball and spiked the ball. It ended up hitting the net, almost killing Konoha in the process which shocked the hell out of the ash green haired boy. Bokuto let out a groan and the game continued. However, everyone on their side of the court knew he would blow up like a kettle anytime soon.

"Akaashi... Don't toss to me anymore!" Bokuto shouted as he lifted up his hand towards Akaashi in a dramatic way.

"Alright then. Please calm down in the time that I'm not tossing to you then," Akaashi simply said as he jogged back into position. Bokuto made a "oh what really?" face and continued playing in the game. Fukurodani easily caught up with Karasuno then took the lead once again. When the owls were at match point, Akaashi tossed to Bokuto and the horned owl spiked the ball in to the crows' court in such a powerful manner. The opponents all marveled in awe at Bokuto's spike. They felt even more fired up, having an opponent they could never beat.

The teams gathered for a debrief and the managers all went to prepare for the barbeque party.

And then the barbeque started. All schools gathered outside for the barbeque. Everyone was socialising normally and interacting. To say the least, it was a fruitful way to end the training camp.

After the party, it was then finally time to clean up. Y/n spent her last few remaining hours in the training center with Kuroo and Kenma since it might be a long time since the three would meet again.

"I'm going to miss the both of you. Don't you forget about me!" Y/n said, slinging her arms around the two's shoulders. Kenma and Kuroo smiled, looking at the girl.

"I'll probably see you at a family event at some point but okay," Kenma said.

"You've been on my mind since day 1," Kuroo said, ruffling y/n's head.

"It's a little bit too late to confess don't you think?" Kenma jokingly said in a monotonous tone. Y/n did not know what the two were talking about and shrugged it off. "[Nickname], you're blunt," Kenma insulted. The brunette pouted then let out a giggle.

The three then saw each other off at the gate of the training center before leaving. Y/n gave Kenma a hug to which he awkwardly returned. Kuroo was more comfortable and he hugged the brunette even tighter, not letting go of the brunette.

"Uhm... Kuroo, I need to go..." y/n said, looking up at the bed haired freak. Kuroo smiled and let go of the girl.

"You know I love you, right?" Kuroo asked.

"Of course I do how many times are you going to ask me?  You always will love me. I love you too Tetsurou!" Y/n lightly punched the captain on the chest and waved. Kuroo let out a sigh and just waved back. Having y/n as a friend was enough and he was thankful.

"I'll ask you as many times as it takes for you to get it..." Kuroo muttered under his breath as he saw the brunette walk up to Akaashi.

"In another life, maybe I'll be yours..."
Though his heart was chipping, he was happy to see her mentally stronger and he could not ask for more.

Kuroo and Akaashi shared a short moment of eye contact before Akaashi flashed a soft smile and nodded. Kuroo nodded back with a gentle smile.

Flashback

"What's y/n to you?" Akaashi asked as he stood beside the black cat.

"...My bestfriend," Kuroo said as he looked at the ground. "My bestfriend that I've loved for a long time..." the third year confessed.

There was a moment of silence between the two boys

"Thanks for making her happy. She used to be so reserved and quiet," Kuroo said, chuckling.

Akaashi shook his head. "Thank you for being a friend she could always rely on," Akaashi said smiling.

Kuroo let out a chuckle. "Next time, I won't lose to you," he declared with a smile. The two forged a rivalry. A friendly one. "I know you won't but you better not break her heart or I'll steal her from you," Kuroo teased which made Akaashi chuckle.

"Of course I won't do that," Akaashi said.

Then, y/n came out of the bathroom.
