Chapter 1

"Morning, I'm here." I said open the gym door and walk inside just to see a ball flying towards me in a great speed as I put my hand as defense一 it supposed to.

But seems someone ran up to my front and protected me from the ball that went to me. Feeling guilty, I looked up to see a figure taller than me, the short curl brown hair. Just by that, I immediately knows who is it.

"Well that was dangerous... You just experienced a moment like Shoujo manga didn't you Haru-chan?" My mouth twitched at his comment and hit him in the stomach slightly.

"Why does it have to be with you that I spend that moment I wonder?"

"Because you're destined to be with me?" He said with a wink.

"Don't think of yourself too highly Oikawa." Oikawa pouted a little and put his hands on his hips. "I'm sad... My own personal manager hates me... what did I do to deserve this I wonder." Oikawa said with fake crying while looking in other way like talking to someone.

"Well, I wonder what did I do to deserve to be with you." I said emotionless. Oikawa then again, faking hurt as he put his hand on his chest as how he's hurting so much. "Haru-chan! You supposed to apologize to me and comfort me there!"

I just sighed and went to Iwaizumi in the court. "Haru, morning. Sorry about the ball, I purposely to missed so it would went to Oikawa but it seemed it went to your way." Iwaizumi explain like it was nothing and it's like usual things to happen everyday.

Oh, so that's why Oikawa can go to my front so quickly.

"That's okay Iwaizumi, it can't be helped. Also, morn."

"Why're you guys being so mean towards me!" Oikawa said behind us as I exchanging looks to Iwaizumi and shrugged.

"Well, because you're annoying."

"Yes. Because you're annoying."

"That hurts! You two immediately hurts my feeling in those few words! I'm too fragile to accept that kind of words!"

I sighed. Taking off my jacket and put my bag on the side, immediately take the dirty bottle in the side to clean them up. When I was going to go to clean, I feel someone behind my back covering me.

"If you think I'm annoying then why did you accept to be my personal manager Haruki?"

I flinched when his breath touch my ear and almost let out a noise as I hit him in the stomach.

"O...uch, you really have a big power despite you're looking fragile." I let out a breath, feeling relieved he's not behind me anymore.

"Your fault. I won't apologize Oikawa."

"Ugh! Haru-chan meanie!"

"Whatever you say. You better go back to practice if you don't want face Iwaizumu wrath." I said as I pointed behind him, I clearly can see how pissed off Iwaizumi is from behind and how he just doing gesture than words this time. Oikawa shivered in fear.

Then I turn back to go to the sink to clean the bottles they used but got stopped for a moment because of Oikawa.

"Haru-chan一"

Hm? I turn back again and see Oikawa smiling to me.

"Morning!"

...

Ah. How unfair. How could he show that smile in the morning. It took few moments for me reply, because my mind stopped for a moment.

"...Morning."

Then Oikawa seems satisfied with it and went back to the court while humming. When they already do the team practice, I walk towards the sink again and start cleaning up the bottles with the water hitting my hands.

'...I'm... acting normally just ago right?'

I looking down while cleaning up, somehow my heart seems thumping real hard and it so loud that I'm afraid someone could hear it.

'...Damnit Oikawa. It's unfair...'

The water feels so nice when hitting my hand, as if I was in heat because of something, it cooling me down.

I sighed really heavy and stop the sink. Wiping the bottles with a small towel and just continue standing there while focusing on it. I didn't even notice someone was walking towards me.

"Haruki-san."

I snapped back to reality, looked up and see my junior standing in front of me while holding the bow and arrows case in his arm. I smiled as I stopped my hand on wiping the bottles.

"Morning Seiya, how's the morning practice in there was like?" I ask to him. He smiled too and nodded. "It was good as always Haruki-san. Minato's shooting become better as well." Seiya said reporting to me as I hummed in response.

"That's good, how was the girls?"

"They're doing very good as usual. Don't have a fight and peaceful."

I laughed briefly before going back wiping the last bottle and let out a breath.

"Sorry that I can't do the morning practice everyday. Even though I'm the Captain there." I said smiled sadly to Seiya who is the vice-captain, because I joined the Volleyball club, the amount of practice I went to the Archery club decrease. So I would leave the leading to Seiya who is the vice-President.

"It's okay Haruki-san, I'm happy to be assigned such an important role for you." Seiya said smiling as I fake crying in happiness. I'm happy that the members seems alright when I'm not there.

"Oh, Haruki-san. Masa-san said he wants to have a meeting about the competition in one month." My hand stopped at what I doing as I look at my hand unconsciously. "I see... it's already that time of moments huh."

"It is, Minato seems excited about it but anxious at the same time." Seiya laugh a little, seemingly remembering the moments. I smiled softly to him, I'm glad their relationship still the same. No... even better? I watched his relationship with Minato since I was a child, so I know what happening if something's weird between both of them.

Well, they seem become closer than before.

"...How's Minato conditions?"

"...He improved. The time where he having panic attacks decrease when he shoot. It seems now he's more motivated." Seiya explain. I just silently hearing the information, glad Minato's doing fine. That's all matters after all.

"That's good." I merely said. Seiya looking at me suspiciously as though I'm hiding something.

After a moment of silence, Seiya sighed. I confused as to why he suddenly sighed. "You brothers really are the same."

"Uhm... Thank you?"

Seiya suddenly look at me with annoyed expression for a second before going back to the calm demeanor he have as usual. "Anyways, Haruki-san I'm gonna go now. Minato's still in dojo practicing."

I blinked before nodded in response. "Wait, why're you not in there? You usually company him until the end of the practice."

"A teacher assigned me for something before class start so I have to go get it."

"Oh, I see." Well that's explain it, because it was rare to not see Seiya is in Minato's side 24/7. "Well then, see you after school." Seiya bowed to me and bid farewell as I still standing in there thinking about something.

The reaction Seiya have... could he possibly?

...Did he notice?

I shook my head. But probably he's already knew. Seiya is good at observe someone after all.

While thinking, the sound of the members of the Volleyball club shouting can be heard and it made me snapped back to the reality.

Remembering I was still doing my manager works. I grab all the bottles and towel and went inside the gym. Seems like it hasn't over yet.

I took that opportunity to refill the bottles with pocari, and preparing a clean towel for the members that playing.

As always, their play is something else. The synchronization of them, the stable play, sometime calm like a water, sometimes suddenly become aggresive like a Tsunami where it suddenly occured.

But...

"Nice serve!"

I look at Oikawa who's his turn to serve right now and seems focusing. I didn't leave a eye where Iwaizumi seems smirking when he knew Oikawa is gonna going to serve.

I could only laugh inside how he's like that behind.

I watching Oikawa as he jump, in a elegant posture where I thought there's an angel wings behind him. The sunlight only makes him more like that. Then he hitted it. The ball.

I blinked once, and before I knew it, the ball already in the ground. Causing a loud sound.

"Nice Oikawa!"

"Uwah... that scary as always."

"Oi! Iwaizumi seems pissed off!"

Oikawa was smiling as he do a piece pose to Iwaizumi who only become more pissed off.

'I think... It's because the team trusting on Oikawa to many extent.'

After a few serve, the match ended with Oikawa team won. I stand up and give them the drinks and towel for them to use, as I said 'good job' to everyone.

Lastly I walk towards Oikawa who talking to other and I hand him the drinks and the water. "Here, your pocari. I added a little more water for you as always." Oikawa happily accepted it and Immediately gulped down.

"Thanks Haru-chan~"

I nodded in reply, when I was going to sit Oikawa suddenly whispered to me. "Haru-chan... Can you come to my class when lunch break so we can eat together?" I jumped a little but then look at him weirdly. Why does he have to whisper about something like that to me? I slowly nodded in response as he show me a smile.

After that, I do a short clean up of the ball and Oikawa's things and put it in his bag. I'm not personal manager just in name after all. Even though I'm a manager of this Volleyball club, but mainly I do for Oikawa. (Don't ask me why but Oikawa say that without explained to me).

When I done clean it, I took my own bag and went to Iwaizumi. "I'm gonna go now then."

"Kay, thanks for coming this morning Haru." Iwaizumi said thanks as I nodded as response. "It's okay, it's my job after all. Oh yea, didn't we have umm... practice match with other school in two days?" I ask for confirmation is it indeed right or not. "Yea, we will have practice match with Karasuno High School." My eyes widened when heard the school's name. It's been a while I hear that name.

"I see... Thanks for telling me." Iwaizumi just nodded and give me a headpats few times before go away to clean up the rest. I touch where gave me a headpats and smiling.

'Karasuno High School... Eisuke in there right?'

I wondering for a bit, remembering if my junior back then said he's in Karasuno High School. I shook my head, cannot really remember it.

'Well then, let's see my beloved little brother for a bit.'

I thought as I quickly leave the gym and go to the dojo in this school to meet my little brother.

__________________

Swish.

Oh, what a good sound. I look at the shooting range and see Minato seems shooting for a few times left. When I thought it's just Minato left in the dojo, there's Kaito who shooting beside him.

Clang.

What was that. A sounds like a bell for a second, the beautiful sound that rang to far away, was that一

"Tsurune."

I murmured and see who did it, my eyes land on Minato who have a very satisfied look on his face. Kaito who surprised but composed quickly and shoot the last arrow.

Swish.

That was a good one. Did Kaito got pulled by Minato's shooting? Shoot, I feel like crying and proud when hear Minato cause the Tsurune sounds.

I snapped back to reality and see both of them already over with shooting, I see it as the right timing to go talk. So I walk inside the Dojo, taking off my shoes with slippers and went inside.

Then, I see Minato talking with Kaito with Kaito seems angry about something but Minato just laughing. Probably Kaito just being tsundere, that was I thought and didn't really mind it.

I walk closer to both of them, trying not scare them and call both of them. "Minato, Kaito, you guys still in here?"

Both of them quickly look at me with their shining eyes and I back down a little at how bright it is. I need a sunglasses now.

"Haruki-san, you're here!" Kaito said excitedly. I pat his shoulder and smiling to him. "I'm here to check out whether you guys still here or not." Then my eyes went to Minato who jumped to hug me, which made me surprised but I hug him back.

"Oi Minato, don't suddenly jumped out like that." I said jokingly and patting his head gently. Minato looking up to see me and smiled.

"Nii-san! How was Volleyball club?" Minato ask as he let go of me and see me expecting a interesting response. That left me confused on how to reply.

"Well..." I start speaking, thinking of the right words to tell him.

"It's chaos. There's no a time where it's peaceful and it's very...." I try to squeeze the words inside me and try to make it one word to describe it. "Loud." I said, managed to explain everything by that one word.

Minato looking at me weirdly and tilting his head, and then grinning to me. "You seem having fun there Nii-san." I look at him and look at the mark, then look at Minato again. "Kind of."

"Haruki-san! Don't change club!" Kaito said seeming panicked. I laughed at his panicking state, "I won't. I'm just being manager in there after all, Kyudo is the main for me." I said assuring Kaito who calmed down and then went to take the arrows back.

"Your conditions seemed improved Minato. Did you overcome your panic attack?" Minato brighten up when I ask about his panic attack. "Yes, I got to hits the mark more than usual! At this rate, I be able to overcome it completely." Minato green eyes bright up as he looking at the shooting range, seeming so excited to be able to hits.

Looking at his reaction, I got so happy and ruffled his hair. "That's good." I merely said and then, notice Kaito already done picking the arrows.

"Good work Kaito, I've been meaning to say, your footwork and your stance become better than usual and it made a good sound." Kaito widened his eyes and smiled. "T-Thank you Haruki-san." I nodded in response and look at my phone to see the time.

"Well, can I leave the cleaning to you guys then? I have something to do."

"You can leave it to us, don't forget to go to club activities today." Kaito said as I flick his forehead, he scrunched his face seem hurting.

"That's my lines." I chuckled and pat Minato's head before walk pass them. "See you after school then." I said waving my hands to them and smiled. I leave when I saw both of them say their goodbye.

I walked to the main building and walking towards my class in the third floor. It's so far away. Why we don't have any elevator? I'm lazy to walk the stairs.

While I have time to thinking about that, I realized I have arrived to the third floor. Thinking like how my body was in autopilot to go here, which isn't weird.

Looking around the third year class, I notice there's seem many people and crowds around a specific one class. It still morning, and I already can hear the loud crowd noise like a bees panicking when human found out their home.

'Why didn't I just use my earphone since earlier.'

I thought of that and rumagging my pocket if I brought my earphone. But strangely I didn't feel anything when searching in my pocket.

'I thought I brought my earphone.'

Slightly panicking, I then rumagging my bag pocket and see if my earphone is there or not. But then, I found nothing in my bag. Make me very panicking.

I immediately chat Minato,

Harurunn: MINATOOOOO DID YOU SEE MY EARPHONE BY ANY CHANCE?

Hoping he would reply immediately, I standing to the side of the stairs while anxiously tapping my feet. Then, I got a reply quickly from him.

Minatou: Didn't you wear it when you go to morning practice in dojo?

Harurunn: I DID!! THAT'S WHY I'M ANXIOUS BECAUSE I CAN'T FIND IT ANYWHEREJSHSH

Shit. What do I do. My only way to cope in this moment is wearing earphone and hear songs like always. It maybe seems weird I'm panicking and even so I'm shaking just because of an earphone. But really, I can't calm down.

Did I left it in dojo this morning? But I wear it when I go to morning practice of Volleyball.... club...

Don't tell me Oikawa have it.

Don't mind me how I immediately suspected of Oikawa because I 95% sure he have it because he knows what my earphone looks like.

What should I do... going in right now? In the midst of the crowds? No. But I need it right now...

I shook my head. Decide to just pass his class and decide whether to ask him or not when I passed.

I quickly walk to where my class is, and jumped out at the sudden loud cheer and voices.

"Kyaa!!! Oikawa-kun!!!"

"You're so handsome in the morning!!!"

"Can we eat lunch together later?!"

...Let's just go get it later and quickly go to my class. I said without noticing a stares to me.

_______________________

It's lunch break. After a long history class, I slumped down in desk and just want no more than a sleep. The history teacher ended up going on about her experience on becoming teacher such things like that.

Which make everyone sleepy of course. Even though I tried to respect her and tried to hear about her experience until the end, it was no good. Sleep won over me.

While feel slightly apologetic, I ended up closing my eyes and rested my head on the desk in the middle of history class.

Because the sleepiness still there, I lost my appetite to eat lunch and decide to just sleep in the class.

The class soon become quite silent because half of them go out for buying lunch in cafeteria or just to play with other classes. At least it's peaceful now.

But hm? Did I forgot something?

....

Well, if I forgot it, it isn't important then.

Just as I'm gonna sleep. A loud noise of the door of the class slide open can be heard behind me which made me jumped.

I didn't realize what's happening but the second I realize, I've been dragged on from my seat.

Looking up who's been dragging me on and who dares to interrupt my peaceful time, I froze.

It's Oikawa.

"Uhmm... Oikawa?"

Oikawa stopped walking in the place and hit me in the head lightly as I grunted in pain. I rubbed where he hit me and look at him again.

Ah. He's pouting.

"You forgot to go to my class."

His class? I let my mind wandering for a moment before remembered it and clap my hands as a sign I remembered it.

"Oh."

I scratching my cheek and make a awkward laugh while looking at him. He just crossed his arms and still pouting the fact I forgot about it. Now that I think, how could I forget about how he told me near my ear.

"Sorry sorry, after that morning practice my mood become so down that I... forgot..."

Wait, I forgot one more thing didn't I?

"I will forgive you this time Haru-chan, let's hurry up go to the rooftop to eat lunch together. The others already waiting一"

"AH!!!"

By my sudden shout Oikawa jumped and look at me confused and anxious at the same time.

"Wh-what's wrong一"

"DO YOU HAVE MY EARPHONE?!"

Oikawa didn't answer immediately and think, before seem remembered something his eyes widened. "Oh. Yea! I forgot to give it back to you!"

I knew it. I let out a big sigh and look at him thankfully. "Thank god you have it.... It was a fairly expensive one so I'm scared if I lose it." I bought a new earphone, and it was quite expensive.

"Want me to get it for you now?" He asked.

"When again if it isn't now."

Oikawa shrugged and still dragging me, walking towards his class. Me that doesn't have any energy just let him dragging me because I don't really mind to. Though the stares the others give is hurts.

He let go of me and went inside his class, while I'm standing outside the class like a lost kid. Not even more than 1 minute, he come back to my side and handing me my earphone.

I look at Oikawa with a grateful eyes, "Thank you Oikawa!!"

Oikawa sighed and ruffled my hair, "You're welcome." He smiled to me as I feel my mood gradually become better than before. I stand properly and start walking with Oikawa in side.

Then I plugged in the earphone and put one earbuds to my right ear. So I can hear his voice better when he's talking. Opening the music list, I tapped on a piano version of the song I love.

Just a bit, I treasuring the moment when I'm alone with Oikawa. When we walking side by side, quietly without saying anything. And just talk briefly but content with it.

I look down of our steps, each step I did, is smaller than his step. His step always going forward slightly than me, always in front of me, but that kind of thing was so him that I can't help but think of it dearly.

It was near the door to the rooftop, just a step again we arrived on it. Just when I'm gonna open the door一

"Hey Haru-chan."

He called out to me, I glance at him, waiting for what he wants to say to me. Though he seemed quiet than usual that its scaring me.

Then suddenly I got engulfed with his arms that hold me right now. His big arms hugging me and I couldn't compehred what' happening right now. I couldn't move a slight movement as I just stay quiet and trying to keep myself calm.

I couldn't see his face, but his grip was gentle that I can't possibly deny this hug. I can feel his hair brushing onto my face and I can hear his breath right beside my ear.

I wonder what he's thinking right now? I wonder why he do this? Did he have a problem? A big problem? Anxiety?

...My delusional self couldn't take this.

The sounds of my hearts is so loud that I fear he can hear it this close. He nuzzled onto my neck for a few second before let me go and grip my hand for a mere second.

Me that feels this moment so unreal, didn't react immediately and just look at him who let out a breath and smiled happily to me. His usual smile come back and I snapped back to reality.

"Wh-Why did you do that! Idiot-Oikawa!" I kick him in the leg as he crouching down slightly from the pain.

He just look at me with that smile whoever see it will love it. I look at other side and let out a heavy breath, trying to not eye contact with him.

"That's hurts Haru-chan~ I just wanted to recharging my Haru-chan-energy today~" The usual cheeky tone and I can feel his smug in his voice.

"Whatever, let's go. I want to eat now." I said as I open the door and immediately see Iwaizumi in there. I 
confused because where's the others?

"Iwaizumi, where's the others?" I ask as Iwaizumi looked at me, stopping his hand to see his phone. "They remembered they have a assignment for today and went back to their class." I just hummed in response, sitting next to him and Oikawa followed me.

I opened my bread and take a bite, but ended up feeling nauseous when I feel something inside my mouth.

'....I can't swallow it.'

Notice how I seem freezed, Oikawa look at me and Iwaizumi noticed it too. "What's wrong Haru?"

I didn't reply and chew on my food slowly and swallow it before I immediately drink water. It still didn't ease my nauseous feeling.

Decided can't eat, I give the bread to Iwaizumi which he confused at it. "You don't want to?" He ask, I shrugged and lie down to the floor slowly. "It made me nauseous for a second." Understand by it, he didn't say any word again and proceed to eat it.

Oikawa who already done eating (so fast), continue looking at me. I close my eyes and take a big breath before let it out.

'Me and my ulcer acting up again.'

I pinching my stomach a bit because it hurts. Don't really ease it but it stopped the ulcer pain for a few second. It cramping, and I feel like throwing up.

"...Oh yea, in two days we have practice match with Karasuno right?" I ask to them and they nodded. "Yes, they've already asked us for a few times but we didn't really have any reason to accept. But shittykawa一"

"I made an exception this time! Though in one conditions of course~" Oikawa said happily seems proud and I just huffed.

"Kageyama Tobio-san?"

"I want see how Tobio-kun improved after I graduated~" Even though his face was all smile, I felt like it have deeper feelings.

'Not my business.'

"...Did Karasuno have Kyudo club by the way?" I ask. "Not that I know of. Well, Karasuno wasn't a school who made a big name of the sports so it's hard to know even if there is." Iwaizumi reply.

There's a point, but if that person is in there, probably he will make Kyudo club.

"Why do you want know?" Iwaizumi ask, as he pat my head for a mere second and put the trash away.

"Well, my precious junior when I was in Shiratorizawa seems in Karasuno."

"Precious? Who is that precious junior of yours!" Oikawa seemingly kind of surprised and I glare at him which he quiet.

"...Not telling." I said as I close my eyes again. While Oikawa fake crying and Iwaizumi constant retort for Oikawa continue.

I just continue silent and remind myself of that Junior of mine.

'...Did he found a good teammates I wonder? '
