(1948 words, so close to 2000 -_-) 

*No POV*

Yamaguchi tiredly entered the cafeteria with a yawn. The boy had just been dragged out of bed by Oikawa because they just had to wake up at 8 A.M everyday. Yamaguchi went to grab some food and sit by his team when I saw Tsukishima out of the corner of his eye.

'I'm sure he won't mind, he did agree that we could hang out.' Yamaguchi thought before happily skipping off to the blonde.

"Good morning Tsukishima! Mind if I sit here?"

Tsukishima looked up from his food and stared at Tadashi for a second.

"Yes."

Yamaguchi grumbled in annoyance.

"Come on Tsukki!" Kuroo said as he elbowed the first year. "Let your new friend sit with you."

"It's bad enough with you and Bokuto here."

Kuroo rolled his eyes.

"Don't pay any attention to him, he's just salty. Have a seat!" kuroo told the pinch server as Yamaguchi sat down next to Tsukishima with a giggle.

"So I've noticed."

"Yeah! Tsukki loves us! Don't you?" Bokuto teased, peering over Kuroos shoulder.

He didn't get a reply because Tsukishima went back to eating small bites of his food.

"So Tsukishima, are you excited for the practice games today?" The boy with green hair asked, trying to make some small talk.

"I really don't care." he said as he picked at his food with a fork.

"Come on, aren't even the tiniest bit excited?"

"Not really, It's just a club."

Yamaguchi frowned at his response.

"Yeah but you get to play volleyball with friends and make memories."

"Mhm. Well I better get goi-." Tsukishima started but was interrupted.

"Wait can I see your phone?"

"Why?"

"Just give it to me please." Yamaguchi demanded.

Tsukishima slowly pulled his phone out of his pocket and typed something into it, probably the password, before handing it to Tadashi. Yamaguchi's fingers clicked against the screen before handing it back to Tsukishima.

"Here," Yamaguchi said as he gave his unlocked phone to Tsukishima with a smile. "Give me your phone number."

It was Tsukishima's turn to grab the phone and type his number into it. He decided that it wasn't worth it to try and fight Yamaguchi after all, it was just his phone number. He handed the phone back to Yamaguchi before walking away and the pinch server left as well.

Kuroo and Bokuto smirked at each other as they had just seen the whole thing go down. They left their table and chased after Tsukshima.

"Ey Tsukki, wait up!"

Tsukishima turned around and saw the two third years chasing after him. He sighed but stopped to see what they wanted.

"Tsukki-dude, didn't know you and freckles were such good friends!" Bokuto said, raising his eyebrows up and down.

"Freckles?" Tsukishima asked. "Are you talking about Yamaguchi?"

"Oh uh yes, I think."

"Yeah." Kuroo started with a smirk. "I had to beg you for your phone number for weeks. Any particular reason" He added emphasis on the word particular.
