Unlikely Lovers {LevKu story}

The Encounter

Please note:
This story is set within the Haikyuu universe, but is completely different in story except for characters, personalities and setting.

A beautiful girl, with short yet beautiful black hair and glistening black eyes stands with a slightly taller yet still quite boy, standing at 5"5, with brown eyes and hair.

Then.. the fantasy fades away. The same boy wakes up. He thinks to himself, That was not the way it went Yaku, that's why it fell apart after all. The boy looks around his room and spots his clock displaying 05;30 on it. He begins to speak to himself, "It's early.. might as well get a head start". He begins to put on his school uniform, buttoning up his white shirt and adjusting his red and white tie.

Around 30 minutes later, Yaku is out the door with his bag, beginning to walk to school in the morning summer breezes. Warmer than usual. On his walk to school, he yawns and bumps into someone, pulling him wide awake. He's about to speak and apologise, realising he isn't looking at this stranger's face. He looks up, so high up he feels he's going to break his neck. He's speechless at how tall this stranger is. The stranger finally breaks the silence. "Oh sorry! You were so short I didn't notice you!" What did he just say?! Yaku is feeling the sudden urge to kick his side, but stops himself knowing he can't just beat up random strangers. Yaku studies the stranger, he's wearing the same uniform as he is. This stranger goes to his school. Realising the stranger is still there waiting for a reply, he stutters, "O-oh, it's fine.. I wasn't looking where I was going, my bad." To avoid any further awkwardness, Yaku begins to speed walk away.

Yaku thinks to himself. Who does that guy think he is?! Just because he's so tall doesn't mean he should go around calling people short! I hope I never have to see him again. Yaku finally reaches his school, and starts to head towards the locker room to begin morning practice for volleyball.

He enters the locker room and unsurprisingly, is the first one there considering it's barely past 6 am, and morning practice starts at 7. He begin to undress out of his uniform and into red shorts and a black t-shirt. He then begins to put on knee pads. Their captain hasn't arrived to open the gymnasium so he waits in the club room, as conveniently, he has the key to it. He unlocks the room and sits down on the carpet, and begins to scroll through his phone to pass the time. He angrily speaks to himself after remembering his encounter today "I swear, I'm going to murder him if I see him again!"

Time has passed, and he hears the locker room door open so he goes to check who's inside. He walks in and sees it's rooster head Kuroo and his somehow boyfriend, Kenma. Kuroo is very tall compared to Yaku, with black hair spiked up that looks funny to some, with his right eye covered by his hair. Kenma on the other hand, is smaller than Kuroo but still taller than Yaku. He has two toned hair, with black hair at the top transitioning to yellow for the bottom half of his hair.

Yaku cheerfully says good morning to them both and Kuroo says good morning back. Kenma like always is too glued on his games to pay attention to the people around him, but finally notices Yaku after he dies and shyly greets him. Kuroo begins to speak, "That's weird Yaku, usually I'm here first cause I'm the captain, how come you're here early?" Yaku, unfortunately reminded of why he was waken up, mumbles in a slightly sadder tone than before, "Oh, it was nothing, guess I just woke up early today.." Kuroo notices Yaku's shift in emotion and prevents himself from asking why, after all Yaku isn't one for sharing his emotions. It's nearly time for practice to begin so Kuroo goes to open the gymnasium, with Yaku and Kenma close behind. They begin setting up the gym as other team members begin to enter the gym as practice time draws closer. In time, all of them are there including Coach Nekomada so they begin practice.

Morning practice is just about over and coach calls them over for an announcement. "As of today, you will have a new teammate, I'd like to introduce you to him." As he finishes his sentence, their new member walks in as everyone waits in suspense.

It's.. the guy from earlier?! Yaku recognises that it's the guy who called him short earlier, and has become annoyed he has to interact with him pretty much daily now. The stranger introduces himself, "My name is Lev Haiba, I'm in first year! Nice to meet you all!" Coach explains, he's half Russian, explaining why he's got such a physique at his age. Lev goes to greet his new teammates as he notices Yaku.

"HEY, IT'S YOU FROM EARLIER!! I RECOGNISE THAT FACE!"
