SOULMATES ( A HAIKYUU MULTIPLE X FEM READER )

Chapter 51: BECAUSE, HE'S MY ACE

I'm late, I'm late and let me say again, I'M LATE. Well technically WE were late. "I'm basically a native she said. DON'T WORRY. I KNOW EXACTLY WHERE WE'RE GOING SHE SAID. WELL GUESS WHAT?! SHE LIED!"

A: IT'S NOT MY FAULT YOU GOT OUT OF BED LATE

"YOU SAID I HAD EXTRA TIME BECAUSE YOU KNEW WHERE WE WERE GOING."

"HEDGE"/A:HAJIME

H: Uh guys

"WHAT"/A:WHAT

H: We're here.

We all ran in the building "SAVE ME A SEAT I'LL BE RIGHT THERE." I ran to the court where the officials let me in because the Fukordani coach had put me down as "essential personal". I made it to the bench just in time. Bokuto was in one of his moods again. Akaashi had called a timeout once he spotted me.

B: (P/NNNNNNNNNN)

"Hey Sunshine, what's the problem?"

B: I kind of forgot how to hit a cross shot. My straights have been so good, it just slipped my mind. Even if I want to do one, my body just hits straight.

A: Bokuto, I'll open the path for you.

B: WOAH, AKAASHI YOU SOUND REALLY COOL.

A: (P/N), if you please.

I nodded. "Okay honey, here's what I need you to do. Ready?" I grabbed onto Bokuto's broad shoulders and locked eyes with him. "Remember." The entire team deadpanned.

Saru: It can't be that easy.

B: OKAY GOT IT.

"Your team is counting on you. You're their Ace and their captain, you've got to take care of them."

B: RIGHT

"And if you ever feel like you need a reminder, just look at the first row. That's where I'll be cheering you." Bokuto picked me up and engulfed me in a hug. After he set me down he finally noticed what I was wearing. His face had become completely red.

B: THAT'S MY JERSEY. IT'S ON YOU. YOU'RE WEARING IT. THAT'S MY NUMBER. IT'S ON YOUR FACE.

"Yup. Number 4 on the court, but number 1 in my heart."

B: AKAASHI, HEY AKAASHI! ARE YOU SEEING THIS?

A: We all are Bokuto.

"Who do you think helped me get your away jersey."

Konoha: That still doesn't explain why you're wearing it.

"Oh, well that's simple." I put my hand on Bokuto's cheek and gave him a smile. "Because, he's my Ace."

B: OH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHH. I'VE GOT THIS NOW. I WON'T LOSE.

"Good luck out there, I believe in you."

B: I won't need luck, because I've got you.

Bokuto's gaze switched to one not usually adorned by his gentle face. As the team departed back onto the court Bokuto wore a look of unwavering focus. It was a sight like no other, a complete 180.

Yukie: You're really good at that.

Fukordani's Coach: We humbly thank you.

"It was my pleasure really. I like seeing him play. It's like he transforms. Sorry it took me so long to get here. Akaashi must've had his hand full in the first set. Which sorry team are you guys.....playing...." I turned around to see. And of all the teams it had to be, it was Nekoma. Kuroo's eyes were locked on me. He had seen it all, what I was wearing, my exchange with Bokuto, and the pep talk. All of it. He had seen it all and he was pissed. I walked up to the bleechers to watch the game with Hedge and Aiko. The game was pretty even. After my pep talk Bokuto had some INSANE cross shots. Aiko and I couldn't pull Hajime away. Kuroo, the usually composed, analytical, snarky middle blocker had deminissed. For lack of a better word, he sucked. He wasn't using his head. He was playing angry. Every single spiker but Bokuto was left open. He locked on and it wasn't good. Bokuto however wasn't fazed. After every block he tried again, and after every point he looked up to the stands at me without fail.
