Karasuno's manager | Haikyuu x Male! reader

Worry fills you as you watch the two captains glare at each other, because with your rotten luck of course you'd run upon Ushiwaka and Tooru.

Tooru walks past Ushiwaka only to stop once the ace begins to speak "A word of advice, Oikawa." Ushijima turns to look at your brother's back "Stay the course. You took a wrong turn." Your eyes darken as you regard the cold ace, clenching your first anger fills you as you continue watching the exchange. "There was a place where you could have displayed even more of your power, and yet you chose against it, all out of a worthless since of pride."

Tooru only shrugs, although his face shows his obvious annoyance "So you're trying to tell me that I should have gone to Shiratorizawa instead of Seijoh, and that would have made everything okay? Is that what you're saying?" Tooru places his hands on his hips "It's not like any team is guaranteed to succeed, y'know."

"Here and now at the very least," As Tooru turns around Ushijima continues "The strongest team is whichever I'm on."

Tooru blanks for a moment "Ha!! Your self confidence is laughable as always!" As Tooru calms a smirk comes over his face as his eyes close, he almost looks at peace "..."A worthless sense of pride." ... I guess it is." You stare at your brother in disbelief, there's no way he'd just take that lying down. "Listen up, Ushijima. Not once have I considered my choice the wrong one. My volleyball career is far from over. So you'd best never forget..." Tooru's eyes snap open and the feral intensity of it makes you take a step back "This worthless pride of mine."

Ushijima simply stares at your brother as he begins to walk away, "Oh yeah..." Tooru turns back to Ushijima a pleasant smile on his face that obviously hides darker intentions "If you keep all your attention on me, you'll get stabbed from a direction you weren't expecting."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"My junior..." Outside the window a single crow catches your attention as it flies throughout the air "Isn't smart, and isn't even close to my level yet." The single crow makes it's way to a small murder of crows sitting on an electricity line, "But now that he's not alone he's a strong guy." Tooru continues his explanation.

You turn back to the conversation at hand to see Tooru walking away from Ushiwaka "A murder of crows may be able to kill even a great white eagle." Even walking away you know Tooru's smug face isn't there anymore. "You comin' Y/N?"

You jump, startled. You didn't think Tooru knew you were there. "Uh.. yeah!" You hurry forward, not giving Ushijima a glance as you hurry to catch up to your brother. Once the two of you are out of earshot you look at your brother hesitantly and open your mouth before closing it and looking away from him.

"Hey," Tooru nudges your shoulder with his own, "Don't look so down. Karasuno won."

"Exactly." You stop walking and Tooru comes to a stop next to you. "You don't have to act like you're fine Tooru, I'm always here for you. No matter what."

Tooru raises his hand and pats your head "Yeah, I know." He gives you a forlorn smile before putting his hand down "But I gotta go. The bus is here and I have to round everyone up." Tooru walks away calling an "I'll see you at home," Over his shoulder.

You stand there just staring at where Tooru was for a while until a hand lands on your shoulder "Your teams looking for you."

You let out a heavy sigh as you look to the owner of the hand "I think I messed up KyoKen chan..."

"Oh? And you're just now figuring this out?" Kyōtani mutters as he turns you around and leads you towards the gymnasiums doors. Faintly you hear a phone ring, you register that it is yours but make no move to answer it. Kyōtani doesn't say anything about the phone, instead he continues leading you towards the doors. "...What happened? ...Only if you want to talk about it though..." He awkwardly mumbles.

It warms your heart that Kyōtani's trying to help you out, you know how bad he is with comforting people and no matter how awkward it's coming out you fully appreciate him doing this for you. "Tooru's acting like this whole thing isn't tearing him up inside. All three years of high school he's been fighting to get to nationals but every time he's fallen short and I just--" You pause feeling a warm hand wiping a tear off your cheek, a shaky hand reaches up to the other side of your face and swabs your cheek your stare intently at the clear wet splotches on your fingers.

"You were crying."

You swallow hard "Yeah..." You wipe your hand on your pants and let out a sigh, "So how are you feeling Kyōtani?" You gaze up at the male who's still looking at you as if you're glass.

"I'm fine, always next year." Kyōtani then drops his hand from your cheeks and averts his gaze.

You raise your hand and place it on Kyōtani's cheek direct his head towards you so he looks at you once again and offer him a small smile "You played wonderfully. I'm proud of you."

His hand reaches up and grips your wrist "I-" He pauses his honey brown eyes boring into your e/c ones. "Y/N, you are so--"

"Senpai!" Kyōtani is interrupted by Hinata yelling for you from the doorway. "Y/N senpai, you here?"

You look away from Kyōtani and towards the doorway, Kyōtani's hand dropping as you do. The two of you are hidden behind a corner so Hinata can't see you just yet. "I'm over here Hinata! I'm coming!" You call out to the ginger before turning your gaze back to the aoba johsai player. "I'm sorry but i have to." You trail off as you gesture towards the door.

"I understand." Kyōtani steps back "I'll let you know how your brother holds up on the bus." Kyōtani starts to walk away from you.

"Kyōtani!" The blond stops "Thank you, seriously."

He bobs his head "No problem." His voice cracks slightly "'S what friends are for." Kyōtani continues walking away.

Hinata then pops up next to you, "Senpai?"

"Ah, Hinata. You okay?" You ruffle the first years hair.

He nods "Yeah, i came to get you because your the last one here."

You remove your hand from the first years hair and rest it on his shoulder. "Yeah, my bad. Let's go."

Hinata nods before bounding off. You turn to walk off but pause and first, look in the direction Kyōtani walked off in and then where you and Tooru were. A grim line comes over your face.

You need to talk to Tooru.
