"I'm going to miss you," Nanase slightly cries as you comfortingly pat her shoulder.

"It's okay, Yui-chan; we can try to visit each other over the holidays," you try to assure her as she lightly sniffs.

"Ehhh, Nanase-chan is a babyyy," Atsumu teases as Komori giggles with him.

Irritated, you smack Atsumu's head as Sakusa smacks Komori's with his elbow since he didn't want to get his hand dirty.

"Ouch! Sakusa, you can be so mean!"

Ahead of you guys is Kageyama and you look back at Nanase.

"You should probably go back home with Tobio-kun. He'll escort you safely."

With flushed cheeks, she nods and gives you a tight hug.

"Thank you for being my friend and standing up for me, F/n senpai! I'm so happy I came to the training camp to meet you, Atsumu-san, Komori-san, and Sakusa-san!"

"Yeah; make sure when you and Tobio-kun get into a relationship, to give me credi--"

"Shut up, Atsumu; you're being annoying," you harshly interrupt and continue to lovingly hug your kouhai.

Komori laughs even more as the two argue a little bit.

Soon enough, everyone separated and that was the end of the training camp. Now, time to hop back into reality and face some of these people again but as opponents at nationals.

As you and Atsumu sit beside each other on the train, the sound of wind and train tracks is only heard and you both decide to enjoy the peace. Slowly, your eyes start to droop with your head bobbing up and down. You're about to fall asleep when you suddenly feel rapid tapping against your leg.

"What's wrong, Atsumu?" you ask, noticing how jumpy he was.

"I'm excited..." His golden eyes glow against the sun's rays and a big smile is formed on his pink lips. "I can't wait to go against all of these tough players and win!"

A small smile eventually grows on your face.

"I can't wait too."

With that, your head falls onto his broad shoulder and you fall into dreamland.

Day 1 of Nationals

"W-we made it!" Kaze exclaims with disbelief in her voice as she stares at the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium. "A-actually, I think we're at the wrong plac--"

"We are at the right place, captain," the two other third years interrupt Kaze, "we made it to nationals."

Just as excited and shocked as Kaze, your heart pounds against your chest.

'I get to play even more volleyball.'

"F/n-chan!!" Kaze calls out to you--interrupting your thoughts. "Thank you. We wouldn't have been able to make it this fa--"

"Ume senpaiiiii," you sing before furrowing your eyebrows, "thank me after we've won nationals."

Immediately, the team fires up.

"Well, let's go!!"

"Osu!!"

As you're about to leave with your team, Atsumu holds you back.

"Huh? What is it Atsumu--"

"C-can you come..." Nervously playing with the hem of his shirt, he averts eye contact with you and blushes. "Can you come cheer me on?"

THE Miya Atsumu is blushing because of a simple question?

Yes. Yes, he is.

Smiling at how cute your baby looked, you grasp his hand and pat his beefy cheek.

"Of course I'll cheer for you--I was planning to anyway. No need to get all flustered about it, Umu," you say while trying to hold in your giggles of how soft he got. "Just in case I can't say it before the game, good luck. I know you guys will do amazing."

His cocky smile comes back as he runs his fingers through his hair.

"Of course I will do amazing! Good luck, baby. I know you'll do amazing too." He gives you a surprise kiss before running off with the other boys. "I'll be on the stands!!"

As you wave back, you're about to walk away when you hear your name being called once more.

"Shin-chan," you call out at the boy who is rushing over to you. "Did you just finish with the interview?" you ask as you had noticed he just finished talking with someone.

"Yeah, but I wanted to wish you luck before you play."

Gratefully, you smile. "Thanks, Shin-chan. It means a lot. Good luck on playing as well."

"Thanks, but I'll probably not play." He rubs the back of his neck.

"I will still cheer on for you, Shinsuke."

Your reassuring smile lightens up his mood as he slightly blushes.

"F-F/n-chan," he calls out one last time before you leave.

"Yes?"

Staring into your eyes, it scares him even more.

'Why am I getting nervous? I hardly do,' he thinks to himself as he loosens his collar. "N-nothing."

"Are you sur--"

"Yes, I'm sure. I have to get going now. I'll be on the stands," he quickly bids before leaving you behind.

'What was that all about?' you curiously think. As you're walking away, you stop in your tracks and turn to run back.

'I can't believe I was actually going to confess even though she's in a relationship with Atsumu! I guess I'll just have to move on on my own--'

"Shinsuke!" Grabbing his sleeve, he turns around to see you panting a little bit.

"F-F/n-chan?" he exclaims in shock.

"I don't know what you were going to say, but if you ever need a friend to talk to, I'm always here." You place a hand on your chest. "After all, you're one of my best friends."

Your speech causes his eyes to widen before he relaxes all of his muscles and places a hand on your head.

'Best friends. That's what we are,' he thinks. "I will keep that in mind, F/n-chan. Thank you."

As you leave him behind--heart broken--Kita doesn't feel entirely terrible knowing that he was still important to you.








A/N:


Honestly, I didn't think I'd enjoy writing about the training camp as much as I did lol but 🥺🥺... Shinskue T ^ T

I needed to give him a proper ending though; so, it was inevitable.


Anyway, please stay safe and keep your health in check!


Have a good day, babes. 💖😚
