4: sleepover

Chapter 4

The two teams started their practice match right away after the coaches arrive at the gym. Almost at the end of the last set, you remembered what Kita-san said about not having a manager to help out. You approached one bench member of the team who's currently making his way to the water fountain for refills, telling him that you'll do it instead so he should observe the match.

Washing the water tumblers, refilling them and folding the towels brought you back to the time when you were still close friends with the twins. You weren't the team's manager at that time but it was like an unspoken rule that you are to do those things for them as their friend. No one but you.

It is kind of hard to believe that they don't do well with stranger when they were young, especially Atsumu, who detest the idea of any other girl being in close distance with him. You inwardly laughed at the thought. With the Miya twins and the other Inarizaki Volleyball members having a big fanbase not only in your prefecture but nationwide as well. But things do change.

You were pulled out of your thoughts when you heard a whistle inside the gym, indicating the end of the practice match. You quickly lifted the bag, now filled with newly refilled water bottles. You heard a few half yells as you were entering gym.

"Oy! Where's our water bottles?" Atsumu asked quite loudly towards the guy who you approached awhile ago. The guy in question started stuttering under the piercing glare of the blonde-haired setter. Still as impolite as ever, I see.

You momentarily rolled your eyes before throwing a water bottle his way. He, being the athletic monster he is, sensed something flying towards him and quickly turned around and caught the unidentified object. He looked slightly shocked, recognizing it as his own tumbler but mostly because it was literally thrown his way.

You met his gaze and plainly said, "Too bad. I was hoping it'll hit your head"

Osamu and Suna, who miraculously managed to film the whole thing, laughed loudly at Atsumu's reaction and at what you said. You just continued distributing the bottles to the team like nothing happened, all of them laughing lightly or in Kita's case, a small smile.

Kita thanked you for refilling the water bottles even though it is not within your responsibilities, you just smiled at him and answered,

"It's fine. I'm here until the end of your practice anyway so why not help out." After hearing what you said, Kita once again turned to you and asked,

"Is it okay for you to stay this late at school? It's dangerous." At the mention of this, many ears perked up trying to listen to your reply. You remain oblivious to the eavesdroppers and just replied at the captain.

"Oh! That wouldn't be a problem. I'm not going home alone!" you exclaimed at the captain slightly touched at his concern for your well-being. Now that's what you call a gentleman. Learn from him Atsumu, will you?

If you thought that the conversation ended, you're wrong. Everybody in the gym were more invested in it. Who are you going home with? A suitor? They didn't doubt that you were being pursued by a lot of guys at the campus.

"Who's going to walk you home, [name]? Your boyfriend?" you whipped around to see Suna walking towards you, his eyes held curiosity and mischief. Well, he is the one who practically forced (blackmailed) you into going to the volleyball match.

"I don't have a boyfriend." you huffed while crossing your arms, "And I'm going home with Bokuto-san and Keiji-kun" you continued.

At this, everybody snapped their heads towards the duo, who started cleaning up the gym while everybody else was busy listening in to your conversation. Even their own teammates looked at them, silently questioning as well. Bokuto seemed to be attentive enough to know what the conversation is about and said loudly,
