"Friendly McExtrovert, nice serve!" I called as I watched Hinata struggle with serving the ball across the net for the fifth time. Guess he really is just good with spikes. The ball soars in the sky and hits the net once more and Kageyama yelling at Hinata to aim a little higher. I sometimes wonder if that's what they do daily...

"Y-Y/n-san.." Kenma tossing the ball to me, "You can spike... right?"

"I can spike, but not often." I replied, the only time I would spike was when I had to substitute for my team's ace or one of the wing spikers.

"I'll toss for you..." Kenma said.... then suddenly tensed when he felt Kageyama's intense stare...I felt it too.

"I'mdoingthetossI'mdoingthetossI'mdoingthetoss" Kageyama mumbled as the ball in his hands was being squished. 

"K-Kageyama the ball!" Hinata exclaimed.

"Y-You guys practice your toss.... I'll just..." I began as Kenma and I moved to a different court further from them. "Sorry about that... forgot he can be...tense."

"Yea...no kidding.." Kenma said and looked back at me. "Anyway... I-I'll toss for you now." He added as he got in position.

"Alright," I said taking a few steps back to start running and then jumping as high as I can. Kenma tosses the ball my way.... thought I didn't spike it as it soared pass my face and bounced off as I stayed there in silence for a minute. "Um... could you... bring it up a little higher..?" I asked.

"I...Y-Yea.." Kenma said as he averted his gaze. He's not tall, but he can jump as high as Hinata... maybe even more..? He thought to himself as he calculated my jump once more and tossed for me.

I jumped and this time the toss was too high. "Um..." I began.

"I'll keep working." Kenma answered as his eyes gleamed a bit of curiosity. "I'll keep tossing your way until I get it right." 

Please don't I thought myself, I don't want others thinking I'm an ace...

No One's POV:

"Is she your ace or something? If so, she doesn't look like she's doing good." Yamamoto he chuckles.

"That 'she', is a HE." Suga said behind him with a creepy smile. "I don't like repeating what was already said, got it?"

"H-Hai!!!" Yamamoto said tensing up.

"I see that Mama crow is as scary as mama cat." Kuroo said putting his hands in his pockets as he averts his attention to the first years of Karasuno watching Y/n practice spikes with Kenma. They seem to be in deep conversation as he notice Kenma seemed more alert and more observant. He didn't want to admit it, but he felt really jealous of Kenma right now. 

"I think it's about time we get ready for training now," Daichi said as he calls his team together, though Y/n stayed with Kenma for a few more minutes. 

"So, what Y/n's role in your team?" Kuroo asked as he walked to Daichi for a moment.

"Well, he said he was mostly libero," Daichi began, "but he's open for other suggestions if needed, for now, we're keeping him as a lib-" He stopped his words when he saw Y/n's hit a spike just now as heads turned to the direction the sound of the ball hitting a hand. 

Y/n landed back on the ground as he looked at his red hand. 

"...Was that toss... alright?" Kenma asked.

"...Yea, it was perfect..." Y/n said as he closed his hand into a fist as his lips curled in to a small excited smile. When Kenma noticed this, his eyes widen as he stared at him for a moment longer. 

He should smile more often... Kenma thought to himself, he looks really.... cute... Y/n looked at Kenma as he tilts his head.

"What is it?" He asked.

"N-Nothing...!" Kenma said as he looked away, hiding his flustered face behind his hair. Both of the perked up when they heard their names called. Y/n rushed over and picked up the ball on the way. 

"Let's play again sometime Pudding" Y/n said as he jogged over to his team as Kenma smiled softly watching your figure go off. He went over to his own team who had quite a menacing aura about them, even though Kuroo had a plastered friendly smile, he was scary as well. Kenma looked back to Y/n who chats up with Yamaguchi and Hinata. 

So they're jealous... all of them.. Kenma thought to himself, .....Interesting....

Timeskip

A whistle blows as a point was one by Nekoma's team. 

Karasuno were on their second match, and won neither first. "Diving drills." Daichi managed to say as the team lined up as they dived one after another. Y/n dived after Hinata as he stood up and did it a few more times before they get their break. 

Not even a minute when Hinata was going ask Y/n if he wants to go and explore Nekoma's campus, Kenma ran up to him first. "Y/n-san, could we practicing spiking again?" He asked.

"Kenma?" Hinata asked.

"Oh, sorry Shoyo, were you... going to ask Y/n-san something..?"

"Huh? Oh no no, nothing at all!" Hinata smiled, "You're practicing with spikes? Could I practice with you guys?" He asked. Kenma only averted his eyes, he didn't want anyone else joining in their session.

"Well..." Kenma began.

"If shrimpy is joining you with a small practice, I'd gladly join myself." Tsukishima said as he approached us.

"Heh..? Really? You? I didn't take that you'd want to join our practice session, Villager C." Y/n asked with a poker face.

"Stop calling me that." Tsukishima said to Y/n with a vein popping out from his forehead. "I need to practice more anyway."

"When did you start liking to continue practice, Vill-" 

"Stop being difficult!" Tsukishima interrupted.

"Oya? You four are doing practice? Don't me joining~" Kuroo said joining us. 

Tsukishima clicked his tongue as Hinata thought the more the merrier and Kenma looked super annoyed as Y/n just walked with the three outside to the blacktop court. 

Sugawara was rolling up his sleeve and was about to after them .

"Suga is on mama mode!!" Nishinoya exclaimed, "Tanaka! Yamamoto help me!!"

"I would love to, but Yaku-san is on mama mode as well!!!" Yamamoto said as he held Yaku back from leaving the gym with Suga as Daichi held the white haired male back as well. However, the two mama crow and cat were strong as they kept a plastered eye smiles reaching the door. Some of the teams even tried to put their own weight on the two. 

Should invite the others?" Y/n asked as he looked back to the gym. 

"Nah, they'll be fine without us for a few minutes." Kuroo said as he jumped and blocked Hinata's spike easily. The orange haired boy groans in frustration as his attack was blocked.

"Sorry Shoyo, I'll try to be quicker.." Kenma said with a scowl on his face.

"Huh? No no! Its alright!" Hinata said with a smile. "But I think you should toss to me a little lower?"

"He got so accustomed to tossing for Y/n-san, it seemed that it's the only thing he can do." Kuroo chimed in and looked at Kenma with a grin. There was tension between him and Kenma, Tsukishima can see it, but Y/n and Hinata couldn't as the short boy explains to Y/n about the feeling he gets when spiking in his own little dwarf language. 

"What have you done to our team and their team L/n... I wonder how things will go from here..." Tsukishima said to himself as he looked at Y/n and Hinata and then back at Kenma and Kuroo. "Let's continue, I'm getting bored waiting."
