akane was a popular girl. being the sister of a now professional volleyball player brought her social status to a higher level. not to mention she was already known by the now third years: lev, teshiro, inuoka and shibayama. she had known them since her 2nd year of junior high, which was when she was, and still is, nekoma's cheer captain.

now she was a 1st year at nekoma high school, which was where she met l/n. they were quick friends; or 'acquaintances' as l/n would like to call it. l/n was always a cold girl; not easy to make friends with, or even talk to, at all.

well somehow, akane managed to break through that icy cold exterior of hers.

which ended ended with l/n developing a small interest in her.

which developed into a trivial little crush.

which turned into full-blown love.

"not gonna lie, l/n-chan. you're head-over-heels and, to me at least, it's obvious."

l/n sighed in distaste. she never wanted this to happen, but it did. and now she was drowning in a hole. namely, 'love'. 

"yeah. no kidding shibayama-san. but it's not like i can do anything about it though," she replied plainly.

shibayama had grown since his first year. perhaps not his height all so much, but other aspects had grown and he became way more mature over the years. he was way more confident in himself and his teammates were able to trust and rely on him without a second thought. not to mention how far his skills as a libero had gotten. 

he held the title of 'nekoma's libero' with pride.

along with all that, he was a great senpai. he was someone people could trust to give them advice.

"i don't want to be too clingy, but it's like she's a magnet. and i'm the metal coin."
