Y/n - Your Name

---------------------------------

Y/n's P.O.V

A new start, a new day....To help my brother! Slowly walking down the aisles I put some chips on a shelf groaning.

"Do I really have to do this?" I questioned and popped my head from the end of the rack to look at my brother who was looking through some newspaper behind the counter.

"It's not my fault for dropping out of high school, so keep working!" soon he threw a pen at me as I ducked a bit, the pen grazing the top of my hair a bit. I huffed as I continued to sort the shelf with all different kinds of junk food.

"I could be at home sleeping right now but nooo..." I muttered.

"What was that?"

"Nothing dear brother~" I chimed sarcastically, obviously annoyed. Continuing to grumble I quickly finish putting things away. Trudging my feet back to my brother I pulled out a metal folding chair and sit on it sighing. "Nii-Chan I'm boorrreeeddd" I groaned. I continued to groan til he whacked me over the head with the newspaper.

"Quiet down! You're already annoying as it is! If you're that bored go back to school!"

"Gross! No way! The classes are all bad! I already know my stuff! Besides! There's a whole bunch of annoying kids there" I huffed out. Pulling both my legs up, I crossed my legs on the chair and made sure that I wasn't going to fall off. I sigh again, but more longingly and more loud. Soon enough I got hit with the newspaper again.

"Shut up!"

"How about you!!"

"What you say!?"

"You heard me!!!" we both bumped heads together glaring at each other. Soon Keishin pulled away sucking his teeth.

"Tch, spoiled brat"

"Rat face"

"Pig head!"

"Dumbass!!" soon we bumped heads again and started to pull each other's cheeks not letting go. Though we both froze when we heard the door open.

"Um...Did I come at a wrong time..?" both turning our heads, we both saw a man with messy black hair, brown eyes with square shaped glasses. Both me and Keishin let go of each other quickly.

"Go sweep the floor"

"Yes sir!" I say saluting a bit. I then opened the blue curtain and went through closing the curtain behind me. Quickly, I searched for the broom and started to quietly walk back to the curtain. Leaning my back against the wall next to the curtain, I peeked through the small crack, listening to what they were saying.

"Ukai-Kun, please come to Karasuno High"

"What for?"

"The boy's volleyball team of course! We have four new students who joined, two of them show great potential together! It would be better if they had a coach to help them become better! Stronger even! We can go to the nationals just like back then!"

"No thanks"

"What! But why? You would be the perfect coach for them!"

"Doesn't matter, I'm not joining. End of story" I saw my brother stood up, towering over the guy, crossing his arms. The glasses guy sighed.

"I'll come back later to ask again" he soon left while my brother sat back down, sighing, ruffling his hair a bit. Poking my head out from the corner I smirked a bit.

"Who was that? Your boyfriend?~" I cooed. He whipped his head around and glared at me.

"Go sweep the floor!" knowing that he's probably going to hit me again with the newspaper I stuck my tongue out at him, pulling one of my eyelids down, letting out a small 'Bweeeh!' and came out from the back to start sweeping. I hummed to myself as no customers came to the store.

~A Few Days Later~

I was manning the counter while my brother was talking to the same guy who kept coming back to the store over and over again, asking Keishin to coach some volleyball team. Flipping through a magazine I heard the door sliding open and saw my brother taking off his apron and went to the back. After a while he came out wearing a red wind jacket accompanied with red joggers.

"Hey where're you going?" I questioned him, furrowing my eyebrows.

"I'm going to the high school, watch my store while I'm gone!" soon he started to walk out the door, the glasses man waiting for him with a warm smile.

"Have fun on your date!"

"It's not a date!!" he yelled glaring at me while I stuck my tongue out at him.

"Stay safe" I say, looking away, puffing out my cheeks a bit. "Idiot.." I muttered. I saw him smirk in the corner of his eye with a small chuckle following.

"I will, brat." I watched him leave, closing the door behind him. There was nothing but silence in the store now. Putting the magazine down, I start to get bored already.

~~~~~

Days, weeks, pretty much a month or two has already passed and I haven't seen my brother come to the store! Sure he comes by every now and then but just to check on his precious store to make sure I didn't cause chaos yet. As the days went by, I became more and more bored. To distract myself I cleaned the store until it couldn't be cleaned anymore. Sitting outside of the store on the porch, I took out a popsicle from the wrapper and started to eat it as I watched birds fly by. Slowly, I finished the popsicle and threw away the wrapper. About to head inside an idea popped in my head. If my brother can't visit me, I'll visit him! I grin as I quickly went inside and went to the back to change into more comfortable clothing.

After picking out an outfit, I looked in the mirror to make sure everything was good. I wore a gray hoodie, that was a bit big on me, with black leggings and black running shoes. I soon put the finishing touches on and pull my hair up into a ponytail. Soon I exited the store, putting a 'Closed For The Day' sign on the door from the inside. Locking the door I start to make my way to Karasuno High, not knowing what I'm about to get myself into.
