Chapter 5: Trouble

Tony walked through the school, it had been a few weeks since the practice game and Tony was now fully into the Karasuno way of life.

He had his uniform now, he hadn't really made any friends except for the volleyball team but he had really enjoyed talking to them.

He had only seen Daichi, Yamaguchi, and Tsukishima a couple of times but had seen the other players a lot more, he even sat at lunch with Tanaka most days and really enjoyed hanging out with him.

The boy sat down in the usual spot outside of the tennis courts and waited for his friends to show up.

"Hey Two-Toned!" Tanaka yelled causing the boy to turn around and grin at his best friend. While there hadn't been much competition, Tanaka had made an effort to hang out with the boy ever since they first met and Tony really appreciated that.

"Hey, Baldy. What's up? How'd that test go?" Tony asked causing Tanaka to make a face at the nickname before slamming the test down on the table for Tony to look at, a 63 plastered on it. Tony smiled widely as he held his hand up for the boy, Tanaka quickly slapped the hand out of the air.

"63!? Hell yeah, Tanaka! I told you that you could do it if you focused!" Tony said, very proud of his friend. Tanaka laughed as he took the paper back.

"It was all thanks to you explaining it my man, it all made sense," Tanaka said as he began to eat his food on the table. Tony smiled at the boy before he began to play on his phone.

"You already eat?" Tanaka asked, still stuffing his face with food as he chowed down on the food that his mom had packed him.

"Oh uh, no not really. We didn't have any food at my house today so, but I'll be fine, I'll grab some food on the way home." Tony said, shrugging his shoulders at the boy as he continued to keep playing on his phone.

Tanaka reached into his bag and pulled out food identical to the food he was eating, sliding it over to Tony who furrowed his eyebrows and looked up to the boy.

"Tanaka... I can't take food away from you." Tony said, not wanting to burden his only friend. Tanaka shook his head and swallowed the food in his mouth.

"You're not, I asked my mom to make me an extra lunch after yesterday when you told me that your uncle didn't have any food in your guy's house. Now shut up and eat." Tanaka said causing Tony to sigh and start to devour the food in front of him.

"Hey, Tanaka! Who's this?" A high pitched voice asked from behind Tony, making the boy's head whip around. He spotted a short boy with spiked up hair, a blonde streak flying upwards through his hair.

"Noya! Welcome back bro!" Tanka yelled standing up from the table and giving the short boy a fist bump. 

"Oh Tanaka, do you want me to go? I can go to class ear-" Tony was saying before Noya peaked his head past Tanaka with wide eyes, hearing the boys accent.

"Wait! Are you American?!" Noya asked causing Tony to take another bite of his food and nod. Noya's eyes widened as he jogged over to the boy and stuck his fist out.

"You're not going anywhere, my man! I want to hear how Tanaka got an American friend!" Noya said as Tony lightly bumped fists with the boy. 

"Oh Noya, you should see this kid serve! I bet he could even get one past you!" Tanaka said causing Noya's eyes to widen even more, which he didn't know was possible.

"You play Volleyball!? Have you joined the team?! I bet I can receive your serves! Wanna go test it out!?" Noya asked causing Tanaka to smack the back of the boy's head, not wanting him to scare Tony off.
