Seven

Both the Karasuno Volleyball teams stood in front of the mart, Sakanoshita nearby the school. Everyone stood in their jackets with the hot steaming buns in their hands. [Name] thanked the tall male as Daichii handed her the bun but somehow she just didn't really feel like eating it. Not to deny his kindness, she took a small bit and chewed on it a little longer than she normally would have.

"[Name]," She turned to her side to find Kageyama and Hinata, their cheeks filled their share of the buns. She tugged the corner of her lips into a small smile. "Are you enjoying the bun?"

"Yeah... It's good." She nodded, pulling the bun close to her lips but not taking another bite at it. The savory smell of the bun filled up her nose but it didn't bring up her appetite.

Kageyama and Hinata exchanged nervous glances at the uncomfortable silence. Kageyama cleared his throat as Hinata swallowed the bun in his mouth. "Ne... [Name]-chan... We're ..." Hinata's voice trailed off, unsure of how to cheer her up.

"You... You did well..." Kageyama struggled with something to say.

"Thanks, Kageyama, Hinata." She managed another smile but it quickly faded as she stared into the dim streets. The uncomfortable silence returned once again.

"[N-Name] - " Hinata was quickly cut off by [Name].

"I know you're trying to cheer me up guys." She said. "And I thank you for that. But I think right now, I want to be alone. Is that okay?" Her [Eye Color] orbs lingered at both the boys sadly. They nodded, looking down at their feet. "Don't get me wrong! You're both really, really good friends of mine and I - " She struggled to explain when she saw the look of their faces but this time, Kageyama cut her off.

"It's alright, [Name]." He smiled at her with Hinata grinning at her as well. "We understand."

"And we aren't exactly the smartest with words." Hinata chuckled in embarrassment, scratching his cheek.

"You're the only one who's not good with words." Kageyama elbowed the ginger, putting a light smile to her face. Both the boys noticed her smile and retracted their hands from each other. "We'll leave you now."

With that, both the boys left her alone, standing a little far from where everyone was. She stared into the streets, replaying the match in her mind even though she didn't want to remember it.

Just then, she felt someone bump her from behind before failing forward. She gasped and dropped the bun. She tried to move her feet forward so she wouldn't fall but before she could, hands caught her wrists. She was pushed up and breathed a sigh of relief. She turned to find Yamaguchi's hand on her right wrist and Tsukishima's on her left.

"[Name]-san, are you alright?" Yamaguchi asked worriedly as they released their grips on her.

"Sorry, couldn't see you there, chibi-chan." Tsukishima snickered but this time he looked a little less interested in teasing her.

She ignored him and picked up her bun, pouting slightly at it. "Ah! You can have mine!" Yamaguchi said frantically, waving the brown paper bag before her.

"It's fine," She smiled politely at the freckled male. "I didn't really feel like eating anyways."

"You really should eat more if you want to grow taller." Tsukishima stated bluntly.

"Tsuki!" Yamaguchi whisper yelled at the tall male, nudging him at the ribs.

"Tsuki-shit-ma..." [Name] mumbled under her breath. A vein popped at the said male's temple.

"What was that? Sorry, I couldn't hear over the sound of your shortness." Tsukishima retorted.

"Or maybe you should stop listening to all those bullshit you say to yourself; it might help with your hearing." [Name] countered right back. Yamaguchi stood in between the two, trying to stop the death glares between them.
