𝕋𝕠 𝕨𝕚𝕟 𝕒 𝕃𝕚𝕓𝕖𝕣𝕠 (Yaku x Noya x Reader)

Another Libero?

We arrived at Nekoma. As both our teams lined up to greet each other, Hinata seemed to recognize one of them, and so did I. Coincidentally, we both recognized the same person.

"Kenma!!"

Hinata and I both shouted, we looked at each other in surprise while Kenma stood there watching us.

"Hey Kenma, why didn't you tell me you're from Nekoma??"

"You mean you didn't know?"

"YEA!! Also Kenma, how did you know I'm from Karasuno??"

"It was written on your uniform...."

I laughed at Hinata, I forgot he isn't the smartest one in the batch.

"Hey hey, Kenma. It's good to see you again."

I opened my arms to give him a hug. I realized this is Kenma we were talking about. I froze there as he looked at me like "what?"

I was about to regain my composure when he hugged me back, well at least that didn't become awkward.  After I wrapped my arms around him for a while, he left the embrace. He wasn't the clingy or energetic type. He and Kuroo always reminded me of a cat.

~~timeskip~~

The boys were doing their usual warm-ups. Ukai called me over to discuss somethings.

"Did you scan the other team, pan-chan?"

"Mhm, we're in trouble..."

"That bad? I'm sure the quick attack would work."

"So far, we ONLY have the quick attack"

"....."

As much as that quick attack is amazing, it's just one. I have a bad feeling about their teamwork. I was thinking about what they have that gives off a strong aura but they don't seem the type to have a secret weapon.

"Are you not going to play?"

I perked up my head that was looking at the floor. I don't think  I could play, I'm not part of the team. I am only an assistant coach,

"For fun, we need the help we can get."

I sighed, though I wanted to play, this is for them. They can improve during this time, it's not my training.

~~timeskip: second set~~

They figured the attack, we'd figure out something....right? 

"pan-chan, you'll play"

"W-what?"

"Nishinoya needs a short break to study the other team, you can do this."

"I-I see..."

I already was wearing my volleyball uniform since I was planning to have a short match with Nekoma too, for fun. I guess we have a change of plans. Hinata gave me a high-five to assure me. The whole team was smiling at me, so did Nishinoya. 

As soon I stepped on the court, my focus changed. My teammates flinched a little. Tsukishima patted my back as I looked up at him. I could my eyes focus more and more, paying attention to the whole court. I looked at Kenma on the other side and so did he. Both our glances were cold but straightforward. Let's have a nice one.  

Kageyama served and their libero was able to get it, he passed it to Kenma and I'm guessing someone will spike here, unless-

"Sorry! COVER!"

I shouted after I dived into the front, it was a dump shot. I didn't lose sight of the ball and still continued to pay attention to the whole court. Kageyama set and Hinata hit it, one point for Karasuno.

"(Y/N) NICE ONE!!!"

I almost didn't dive in time, Kenma is this strong huh. He must be the strategist. This is going to be interesting....

~~timeskip~~

Nekoma won the match. After playing, I realized, the members are good at what they play for. Their receives are on point so as the gameplay. Their captain has a good eye for blocking too. The boys could learn a thing or two. 

"AGAIN!!"

Hinata shouts, the boy doesn't get tired huh...

Eventually, everyone agreed to continue. We had a short break before another set starts. I walked up to Nishinoya,

"You hanging in there"

"Yeah"

He was so focused on the other team, or the other team's members. Their libero to be specific. He's pretty good at his job.  I followed his gaze to the libero himself. 

(3rd P.O.V.)

The two liberos looked at Yaku. Nishinoya wanted to learn from him, his technique and dedication. Noya admired that. Meanwhile (Y/N) unconsciously formed a smile thinking "I wanna learn your tricks,". Nishinoya looked up at (Y/N) who was staring at someone else. Something grew inside him, jealousy. However, it was different from when it was Kiyoko. He couldn't figure out how different. 

A different thought approached his mind, 'I'll show you why I am the team libero, (Y/N).'  Kiyoko called (Y/N) to give her a towel and praised (Y/N). Noya didn't even notice Kiyoko was there, Tanaka looked at him, surprised. He was too focused on Yaku. 

(back to (Y/N) P.O.V.)

For the next set, Noya would be the one to be the libero. I looked at him as he was so focused. I patted his head and he looked up at me. 

"Good luck, you got this"

He smiled and nodded. The whistle blew and he went to the court. His focus was more than usual, he must have found motivation in Nekoma's libero. If so, I'm glad.

(Chapter bonus; 3rd P.O.V.)

While everyone was getting in position, Tanaka went up to Noya. He looked at him and smirked.

"What?"

"You have a crush ey?"

"EHH??"

Tanaka felt the glare of father Daichi which made him scramble to his position. (Y/N) stared as Noya became flustered then suddenly came back to his focus state.

'cute.'
