Fly (Keishin Ukai) - COMPLETED

27 - 3 v 3

The next few days at the training camp were rather tragic. Karasuno had lost 96% of their games so far, only winning a few because of the other team's mistakes. It got to the point where even Yuki was tired with how much she had run up and down the steep grassy hill outside the gym. She could not imagine how the team were feeling, so she tried her best to give words of encouragement where she could.

Nonetheless, losing or not, she was enjoying her time at the camp. Each night she would go out with Keishin, Takeda, Coach Nekoma and a few others to chill and get some drinks - though she had decided it was best for her not to drink after last time. She enjoyed the company and it was nice to socialise with different people, slowly,but surely her stutter was becoming less frequent.

On the second day, during a break of playing matches, watermelon was brought out by the managers of each team and Yuki ended up talking with some of the Karasuno team.

"YUKI!" Bokuto ran over to her, accompanied by Akaashi and another boy she was yet to meet.

"Hello!" She grinned, "you feeling t-tired today?"

Boktuo's head tilted to the side; his eyebrows scrunched together. "Tired? No, why would I be tired?"

"Oh, just thought your s-spikes were a bit weak today," she shrugged her shoulders, taking another bite out of the watermelon.

"WHAT?" his jaw dropped, and his head whipped to Akaashi, "ARE THEY?"

"I'm joking," Yuki laughed, the other boy Yuki did not know chuckled loudly as well. "You did great, l-like always."

Bokuto's jaw still hung open. "I did good, right?" he was still waiting for Akaashi's approval.

"Yes, you did." Bokuto then grinned and took a seat beside Yuki on the grass.

"Anyway, Kuroo wanted to apologise." Yuki raised an eyebrow and looked to the tall boy in front of him, his hair dark and styled like the top of a rooster head; she assumed he was Kuroo.

"Apologise?"

"Yeah, we were able to get glasses to block some of Bokuto's spikes-"

"NO WAY! DID YOU A-ACTUALLY?"

"It took some convincing but yeah."

"Then why apologise? T-that's amazing! I didn't think he'd ever do a-anything outside of mandatory training!"

"Uh- well, I might have pissed him off in the end." She raised an eyebrow.

"How?"

"I provoked him and said he was going to lose to your shrimp over there," Kuroo nodded towards Hinata who was eating his watermelon with different players far off to the right.

"And Tsukishima got annoyed by that?"

Kuroo shrugged. "Seemed it."

"Mhm, well, either way, I appreciate y-you helping him out," she stood and brushed off her trousers. "Thank you Bokuto, Akaashi and Kuroo. Hopefully, it somewhat pushes h-him to be better." She gave a final bow before walking off.

On the third day though, there was a slight change to Tsukishima, it was not an obvious one, but when Karasuno were playing against Fukurodani, Bokuto ran away from a spike that Tsukishima was blocking. She was unsure what was different, but it must have been something for Boktuo to change his spike to a feint to avoid the block purposely.

"You saw t-that too, right?" She leaned over to Keishin to ask.

"Yeah..."

On the fourth day, Yuki stood with her arms folded beside Keishin like she had done the last few days, and she was struggling to keep track of the match. The weather was getting hotter and hotter; even in a light white top and a pair of shorts- shorts she was sweating without even moving. She could not imagine how the team were feeling, but she could tell they were starting to struggle, getting tired quicker and quicker.
