Keiji's Twin [ H I A T U S ]

Four

Keiji's POV

It was finally the week that we're attending another training camp. I brought all of the necessities and enough clothing in my gym bag. Luckily for Katsuki, I helped her pack her stuff since she kept asking me what to bring and not to bring. I knew that she already knew what to bring but she still asked me for clarification. I chuckled at the scene as a put on the official Fukurōdani boy's volleyball jacket. I grabbed my gym bag and exited my room. As I was walking towards the kitchen, I heard humming from Katsuki's room.

'Huh, she's not ready yet.. I should go check up on her.' I did a full 180 and walked towards her room. Her bedroom door was open and I knew that she wasn't the type to leave it like that. I knocked on her door then opened it to see her brushing her hair. She was wearing a navy blue shirt with black leggings on. On top of that, she was also wearing the official volleyball jacket. We made eye contact and she gave me a tiny smile. I returned it as I walked over towards her and ruffled her hair.

"Keiji! You ruined my hair!" She poured and brushed her hair more. I chuckled and let her head.

"It was going to get ruined anyway. Plus, hurry up so we have enough time to have a full breakfast with Okaasan and Otosan." She nodded her head as she put her brush into her gym bag. Then, we walked towards the kitchen to be greeted by our parents. We sat down in the remaining chairs at the table with the food all laid out.

"Itadakimasu." We all said in unison then began eating.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We have already finished our food. Once we finished, we put our dishes away and said goodbye to our parents. Katsuki and I made sure that we did not forget anything. After that, we made our way towards school.

"Keiji, what's the training camp like?" Katsuki questioned as she looked up at me. I had to think about the moments and memories I had during the last few camps before answering.

"It was.. interesting. New people, yes but it's always practice practice practice," I took a pause before continuing. "Attending a training camp is like attending any other camp. You share a room with other people, you eat together, you do activities together, and we all have the same curfew."

"Do you think the other managers beside Kaori- San and Yukie-San will like me?" It may not sound like it but she had a nervous tone when she spoke. I gave her small smile and ruffled her hair.

"I'm sure the other managers will like you. If they don't, you could always stick with Kaori and Yukie. Either that, or stay in a close proximity of me and/or Bokuto-San. Okay?" She gave me a nod and our conversation ended as we stepped into the school campus. Coach Yamiji gave us a short announcement before we all stepped foot onto the bus. Luckily it was big for all of us and has enough room since Katsuki will be joining us this time. Katsuki sits with Yukie and Kaori and I sit with Bokuto.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We arrived at the training camp. Everyone got up and stretched before stepping off. All of the schools were here and made it around the same time we arrived. Karasuno, Nekoma, Shinzen, and Ubugawa were all here. I walked towards Katsuki and she gave me a confused look. I decided to tell her which teams are which. She nodded and started looking around.

"The practice matches are going to start soon. Go with Yukie and Kaori so you're not alone." She nodded and I gave her a nod back as I walked away. I walk to the team as we start setting up and do our stretches in the gymnasium.

Katsuki's POV

I'm currently with Yukie and Kaori. They start talking about how the other managers are really friendly and how they're so supportive of their team. I have this little idea in my head that the other managers won't like me and how they'll treat me differently than the others. I start shaking and from the thought of it.

"Katsuki-Chan, are you alright? Do you need to sit down?" Kaori asks me worriedly. I shake my head but still shaking in place. "Are you nervous about how the other managers will think of you?" She asks and I slowly nod my head. She looks at Kaori then looks back at me.

"Well, if they don't like you and start treating you differently, we'll definitely do something about so don't worry~" Yukie said in her normal nonchalant voice but still made sure that they was some worry in her tone. I'm gave them small smile and stopped shaking. I'm glad that they know me so well. What would I ever do without them? They were actually my first friends when I came to Fukurōdani with Keiji. That fact that we bonded over so many things together makes me happy and reminds me that I'm not alone.

We make it to the gymnasium and see all of the other teams. My eyes widen to see so many guys at the same time.

"Wow.." I expressed out loud. I then hear giggles right next to me. I turn to my side to see Yukie and Kaori smirking at me. I blush and look away. I look back up to see that our team is going against the Karasuno team. I start analyzing the other team.

'Hmm a short and energetic middle blocker..'

'Another middle blocker, tall and rude..'

'Stressed out captain..'

'A loud wing spiker..'

'Long haired wing spiker..'

'An angry setter..'

'A libero that seems shorter than that one middle blocker..'

"This team seems interesting.." I stated in a monotone voice as looked at Yukie and Kaori. They looked at me and nodded.

"It's weird, but whenever this specific team plays, they play in a way that they won't give up." Kaori explained.

"Yeah, but they would lose all of the sets. Makes me think if they are improving or not." Yukie adds on. To my surprise, the Karasuno team loses and starts their penalty run through the forest. I see two of the Karasuno managers, or so I think they are. I build up the courage and walk up to them.

"Excuse me..?" I said and the blonde one jumps and hides behind the glasses girl.

"Oh- I haven't see you here before. Are you perhaps a manager?" The glasses girl asks. The blonde girl behind her shakes in fear to see someone new.

"Yes, I am. It's actually my first time attending this training camp with them." I explained. The blonde girl steps to the side and suddenly bows.

"I'm so sorry for my behavior! I hope you can forgive me! My name is Hitoka Yachi!" I nod, still surprise from that little scene.

"I'm Kiyoko Shimizu. We're managers of the Karasuno team. And sorry about Yachi. She's also new to this experience." Kiyoko introduces and apologizes and she also gives me a quick bow.

"Well, it's alright. I was just surprised, that's all! Anyway, my name is Akaashi Katsuki. I'd prefer if you'd call me Katsuki because my twin brother is in the team." I explained.

"Is your brother, the number 5 player in the Fukurōdani team?" Kiyoko questions. I nod and Yachi suddenly jumps with shock.

"Wait, so he's your twin brother?!" Yachi asks surprised and starts shaking again.

"Yes. What's the problem?" My monotone voice goes a bit dark. Yachi has this scared aura around her. I snap out of the scary aura and go back to normal.

"It's just surprising to know that your twin is playing in the team that our team just recently went against! That's all!" Yachi gets more scared. I sigh and give a small smile.

"It's alright. I just felt offended for a moment because talking about my brother or myself can be a really personal topic depending on the situation. Also, I'm not used to interacting with other people besides from my own team. I hope, the both of you, would forgive me." I bow and I hear a shriek coming from Yachi. I then hear Kiyoko giggle. I stand back up and Yachi gives me a bright smile.

"Don't worry, you're forgiven. If you want, I can introduce the team to you, since they already know the other managers from the last time." Kiyoko suggested. I thought about it for a while. I looked at Yukie and Kaori and they gave me supporting smiles with a thumbs up. I smile ever so slightly and nod.

"Sure. Why not? I need to interact with others besides from my team anyway." Yachi squeals and Kiyoko claps while smiling.

It's official! I'm slowly breaking out of my little world!
