I haven't written some fluff in a while so here y'all go

     "(M/N)!" Kenma yelled as he set the ball. He ran up, jumped, and swung his arm, but he missed it.

     "Ah, sorry, my bad!" (M/N) exclaimed, trying to shrug it off and not think about it too much. Fukurodani's team cheered as they got another point. He could feel multiple pairs of eyes on him but he tried to ignore it.

     "Dammit (M/N)! Just hit the ball, it doesn't have to be hard!" Yaku complained.

     "I know, I know." (M/N) pouted. He hated getting scolded by Yaku. A player from fukurodani served towards (M/N), making him dig for the ball. Unfortunately, it went way out of bounds, letting fukurodani have another point.

     "My bad." He mumbled. The next few points continued with the serving aiming towards (M/N) until he was able to get a decent recieve and tried to send it to Kenma. Kenma set it to Yamamoto and he was able to score a point. The next few points went smoothly, mostly because the ball didn't go to (M/N).

     "Lets go Kenma, nice serve!" A few people yelled. Kenma served it and one of the opposing players recieved it easily. Akaashi tossed it to Bokuto, who spiked the ball hard, without much thought of were it was going, just as long as it was away from the blockers. (M/N) fell backwards as the ball hit his face. The ball conviently went in Kenmas direction, who set the ball to Fukunaga, who won the point.

     "Time out!" The coach yelled. He went to check on (M/N) who was knocked out on the floor, unconscious. He tapped his face a couple of times, trying to get him to wake up, but it didn't work. "Kuroo, help him to the nurse please." The male nodded and picked up (M/N), which was easy since he was built like Kenma.

     Kuroo reached the nurses office and entered, but didn't see a nurse in the room. He laid (M/N) down on one of beds and sat on a chair next to it, not wanting to leave him unsupervised. After waiting a few minutes he grabbed a cup of cold water and splashed it on (M/N)'s face, waking him up.

     "AuGh dude what the hell?!" (M/N) yelled. He looked around to see he wasn't in the gym anymore. "Did I pass out?"

     "More like knocked out, you got hit with a ball." Kuroo chuckled. (M/N)'s face scrunched up as he looked down, ashamed from being knocked out that easily. "Y'know, you could have blocked that. You don't always have to keep your hands down to receive, you can-"

     "I know Kuroo!" (M/N) yelled. The room was silent for a moment. "I'm sorry, just please don't lecture me right now." He grumbled as he buried his face in his hands.

     "Sorry, are you okay?" Kuroo asked, noticing his negative mood.

     "Yeah, just frustrated."

     "About what?" Kuroo said as he sat down, ready to listen to what (M/N) said, no matter how long it was.

     "It's just that i've been practicing doing spikes and recieves and I feel like i'm stuck in the same place I was when I started this year! I'm basically like Lev, minus the height and im a year older! I appreciate that the rest of the team has been willing to help but I feel like it's just a waste. I already feel bad enough about it as it is, and people, mostly Yaku, scolding me about it doesn't really make me feel any better!" (M/N) let out all at once. "Maybe I should qui-"

     "Don't say that." Kuroo said. (M/N) looked at him with a confused face. "You've grown so much. You started out not knowing or being able to do anything, but now you know the rules and are able to have steadier recieves and you can even land a great spike sometimes. You could become a great player in a few months, but you won't know if you quit now." Kuroo said with a soft tone. He had a gentle and genuine expression on his face. "I can talk to Yaku about his scolding problem. I won't force you to, but I, and i'm sure the rest of the team, want you to stay."

(M/N)'s heart nearly exploded from happiness. He's tried multiple sports and wasn't that good at any of them, but no one from any of the teams ever made him feel as welcome and wanted as Kuroo.

"Thank you, Kuroo." (M/N) said while keeping his head down, knowing if he looked at the captain he would burst out sobbing. "I appreciate you."

"Anytime (M/N)." He smiled while patting (M/N)'s head. "Are you well enough to go back to the gym?"

"Yeah, but I wanna bench the rest of the game, my head hurts." (M/N) chuckled as he stood up.

"Of course." The two walked back to the gym. Once they got there (M/N) got to sit on the bench with the managers and watch the rest of the team play. After a while the game ended, Nekoma winning 2 sets to 1. Kuroo went to (M/N) to talk for a bit, but got interrupted by Bokuto from Fukurodani ran up to them.

"I'M SO SORRY FOR HITTING YOU WITH THE BALL EARLIER!" He yelled as he bowed profusely. "Are you okay?!?!"

"Yes i'm okay, hurts a little but i'll be fine! Thank you for checking up on me." (M/N) smiled.

"AHHH THANK GOD!" Bokuto yelled as he hugged (M/N). "Let me buy something to make up for it!!"

"No need! I'm fine I promise! I'm not mad at you, accidents happen!" (M/N) yelped, surprised that Bokuto hugged him.

"Ahhggahh, okayy, i'm sorry again!!" Bokuto waved as he went back to his other team.

"You should have let him buy you something." Kuroo joked.

"No way, i'd feel bad." (M/N) chuckled.

"Still, damn owl needs to be aware of how strong he is."

"Yeah it hurt, but at least I got to hear that lovely speech from you in the nurses office." (M/N) teased. "Would you mind saying if again??"

"You seem better so nope. I'll only say that when you need it." Kuroo said.

"Aww come on, not even once?" (M/N) fake pouted.

"Nope."

"Ahh my leg suddenly hurts! I need support!" (M/N) joked.

"Dork." Kuroo said as he lightly knocked (M/N)'s head. They both started laughing and headed to the club room, getting ready to head back home.
