Chapter Text
Throwing on your black Karasuno jacket you begin to put on your shoes.
"Y/N wait!" You turn back to see your elder brother running through the house decked out in the gear for aobajohsai and looking quite stupid running around the house with his fuzzy slippers on. "Iwa chan and i are gonna go see everyone at kitagawa daiichi at the tournament!"
You send your brother an unimpressed look "I wonder who gave you that idea."
He purses his lips before scratching the nape of his neck. "I have no idea what your talking about."
"Hmph." You stand up "Alright then." You sigh knowing your brother will follow you anyways "Let's go get Hajime kun."
***
The three of you part ways as you get to the place where the tournament will be held, you going to find the three other Karasuno volleyball club members.
"Y/N!" Oh, so Tanaka found me first. You turn around to see not only Tanaka but Daichi and Suga too.
"Hey." You raise a hand and walk over to the three. "Kiyoko's not here?"
Daichi shakes his head "No. She had other obligations so it's just the three of us." You don't ask about Asahi and don't bother about Nishinoya as the idiot went and got in trouble by the VP.
"Alright." You give a bright grin to the three "Then let's see what these Junior high kids got!"
***
You watch silently seeing Kageyama yell at his team mates, he's changed since you've last seen him, and not for the better. Maybe instead of going to just see Aobajohsai you should have gone to check on the kids of Kitagawa daiichi too...
"So that's the king of the court, huh?" Suga ask.
"Uh-huh." You look up to Daichi as he continues talking, "He'll be a tough opponent once he gets into high school."
"Yeah, but only if he manages to get along with his team mates. No wonder they call him king of the court." You tsk. "He's a tyrant." Tobio Kageyama, what happened to you?
"But hey! That short kid seemed pretty promising too right?" Tanka ask standing up from when he was leaning against the railing.
The four of you nod at each other before walking away from the court. The games over and you've seen all that you needed to.
***
Time passed. Fall turned into to winter, winter to spring. And soon enough summer break came but after that, school did too.
Three boys walk the halls before stopping at two people one, a girl with papers in his hand and the other, a boy with his hands in his pocket.
"Here, these are our current applicants."
Daichi takes the small stack of papers "Thanks." Feeling how thin the stack is a concerned look bloomed on his face "Wow, that's not very many... didn't we used to get more of these."
"I'm sure we'll get more soon Daichi." Sugawara pipes in
"Your looking radiant today Kiyoko, and Y/N you look as dashing as ever!" Tanaka yells out. A small blush comes over your face but you turn around before Tanaka could see it, Kiyoko doing the same and walking off, you following her but heading to the club room to change.
Tanaka wraps himself in his arms as a shudder runs down his spine, "Gah~, i love it when they ignore me." You have some weird kinks Tanaka but if you like it, i love it.
***
You wind up in the gym before the others do and end up seeing two first years arguing. You stand by the door with your arms crossed until you hear Daichi, no doubt with the others in tow.
"Who knew that the setter from Kitagawa first would end up at our school?" (Daichi)
"He better not be too cocky! Or i'll have to pound 'em one time!" (Tanaka)
"Give it a rest Tanaka. You don't have to threaten everybody." (Suga)
"What are you gonna do about it, huh? Yeah. That's what I thought." (Tanaka)
You groan gaining the attention of the two first years, "Idiot." You move further into the gym until you sit on a bench near the court. "Focus on those guys first. Don't worry about the baldy, yeah? Just call him senpai and you'll be fine." You give advice to the first years, motioning away from yourself.
You look to the door as the three enter to see Suga and Daichi looking just fine, although Tanaka looks like a grade A dumb ass.
"Hey, hey, hey, now what do we have he- oh!" You watch with amusement as Daichi easily pulls Tanaka away from the first years.
"You must be Kageyama." Daichi gives a grin to the first year, still with Tanaka in his grip. "It's nice to meet you." The three move forward to greet the first year and you watch the ginger do a weird shuffling motion as he passes by the one first year and second year and two third years.
"Pretty tall aren't you?" Suga ask, the smile still on his lips.
This shocks you out of your amused state. Kageyama's a setter. Sugawara's a setter. Who's gonna be the official setter? No... I shouldn't think like that both setter's are good at what they do, but Sugawara is the official setter. No matter what.
"First impressions are everything Suga. Blast him with the majesty of being a third year!" Wow, Tanaka loves being an upperclassman huh.
Tanaka makes a stupid face and without even blinking Daichi calls him out on it. You stand and walk over to the ginger haired first year. "Are you okay?"
The boy stands up straight and stiff at being called out. "There all so tall, but... Kageyama is slightly taller than all of them. But then again all these high schools are pretty huge!" You silently laugh at the boys enthusiasm. A dopey smile comes over his face as he eyes Daichi's jacket. He must really be excited to be here. I hope he keeps that. Hinata stands up tall as he yells out a hello, hoping to get in the conversation. You feel second hand embarrassment when Daichi instead ask how tall the first year setter is.
Once he answers you can see Suga's smile drop as he lets out a sound of being impressed. You narrow your eyes at him as you think it over.
Hinata yells out again, this time gaining everyone's attention.
"Hey it's you!" Tanaka points a finger at Hinata as he yells. "You're the shorty!" Daichi look's so over Tanaka right now, at least until he realizes what Tanaka says.
Daichi looks down at the papers in his hand, "Wait a minute. Do you mean the other applicant named Hinata..." Daichi looks up from the paper and back to the ginger, "Is you?"
"It's kind of surprising isn't it?" You speak up, talking to everyone this time. "Especially because they seemed to hate each other so much earlier." You clap your hands as a smile comes over your face, "But hey you both chose Karasuno!"
Daichi nods at you, agreeing with what you said.
"We didn't mean to freak you out it's just, you made a big impression last year." (Suga)
"Yeah, you were tiny and all over the place, but you had spunk!" (Tanaka)
"And not to mention that jump of yours." (Suga)
Tanaka steps forward and raises his arm to about his height over Hinata's head. "Yeah, too bad you didn't have a growth spurt though." Seeing Hinata's face you decide to help him out a little.
"Yeah, but Tanaka if he had a growth spurt he may be over your height." You grab Tanaka's hand to lower it. "You wouldn't want other first year taller than you, would you?"
Tanaka's face flushes, probably because you've never showed him this much affection before.
"I may be small, but i have talent!" Hinata yells out, "And i'll be Karasuno's ace before you know it!" Tanaka's face isn't red anymore.
"Come on. You only just got here and you're already claiming the ace position?" Tanaka teases gripping your hand a little tighter.
"What's wrong with having big aspirations? Right?" Suga tries to sooth the now frightened Hinata. Sometimes I forget other people need to get used to Tanaka.
"Yeah! I'll do my best!" Well it looks like what Sugawara said worked.
"Now that you've announced you're gonna be the ace, you'd better be prepared. Keep dragging your feet, and you'll waste another three years." Kageyama calls out. You let go of Tanaka's hand as you cross your arms. I don't like this asshole Kageyama at all. I miss the younger Tobio.
You watch on as the two first years begin to fight. Ignoring Daichi as they do. Well that's bad.
"You're noisy, volleyball club." Oh great.
"Ugh! Vice!" both Tanka and Sugawara say "principle!" Together.
"You're not quarreling, I trust?"
Knowing the VP likes you more than anyone else on the team you speak up, "Not at all! This is what they call hard work. Right, guys?" You turn to the first years hoping they get the message.
"We gotta behave ourselves 'cause the vice wants us to misbehave." Tanaka has a point, you wish he wouldn't speak so loudly because if you can hear him the VP can too, but he's gotta point.
The first years do not get the message because Hinata talks Kageyama into setting him a ball.
"Now, now, you guys. Enough freewheeling." Daichi tries to get them to stop before something bad happens. You let out a sigh. These first years are so troublesome.
"Are those first years?"
No one answers the question as Tobio attempts a jump serve. Sure it's a good one, but you could do a great one in your sleep.
"How is that not the same as last year?" Kageyama scoffs. I really want the first year from Kitagawa back.
Hinata gets up and steadies himself, "One more."
"Hey, knock that off!"
"Yes, I agree with Daichi there is a time and place for that. And while this may be the place, it is not the time!" You add in.
Neither of the first years budge. "It's a problem that they won't take orders from their team captain."
You roll your eyes at the VP and watch Kageyama send the ball to an empty space only for Hinata to appear there instead. Fast reflexes!
You watch as the poorly received ball bounces off Hinita's arm and nails the VP right in the cheek, his toupee falling from his face and landing perfectly on Daichi's head. The situation is not helped by the two first years discussing when they noticed it was fake or Tanaka laughing.
Maybe I should have just joined soccer club.
