Serve Twelve
Not only were you tired from PE and eating lunch with Yamaguchi and Tsukishima, you now had to watch Volleyball practise. You had to help clean the classroom, too, but even so, you still had to go down to gym #2. You walk with Yuri to the school gate.
"Eh? Why do you have to go there? I want to walk home with you!" Yuri whines, grabbing your arm. You chuckle and pry her iron grip off your arm.
"Mums forcing me to help Satoru. I'd honestly rather head home with you and then read when I get in. But I can't, life's a sad thing." You shrug.
"Don't you have 3G on your phone?"
"Er... Well yeah, but it's only on 112MB and I don't want to waste it. Text me when you get home and we can chat." You wave to her as she leaves. Once she rounds the corner, you sigh in exasperation and make your way to the gym. You walk past the tennis court and your gaze wonders to your right, hearing shouting.
"Nishi-Kun?" You tilt your head at the brunet.
"(F/n)-chan?!" Noya jumps up, staring at you in shock.
"Erm... Hi, to both of you." You wave to Hinata.
"You know Nishinoya-san?" Hinata asks.
"Yeah, we went to the same junior high school. He was my Senpai." You smile to him. Nishinoya hadn't moved and seemed to be stuck in an odd pose. "Are you alright?"
"(F/n)-chan! Look at you! How do you do it?" He wails, placing his hand over his eyes, his other hand gesturing to you.
"Huh?" You and Hinata both stare at him in confusion.
"The girls uniform was cute before, but you look adorable! The blazer fits you perfectly, your jumper's too big for you so it flops over your knuckles. If only you wore a skirt!" He sounds like he's crying. You scrunch up your nose at him and look down at your uniform.
"It's comfortable like this. And you've seen me already, and about that, why did--"
"Noya-kun!" Satoru shouts, cutting you off. Your brother engulfs Noya in a hug and pats his back. "I know how hard it is for you, but she simply doesn't understand. She's our innocent dove stuck in a flock of crows." Satoru wails as the duo give each other manly pats.
"I'm so never wearing a skirt." You grumble, making your way towards the gym and past the third and second years. You take out a broom from the sports cupboard in the gym and help the other second years clean the floor.
"Are you guys happy about Nishi's return?" You ask as you leisurely sweep.
"Well, it certainly is more lively with him here." Kinoshita nods.
"As long as he's not creating anymore trouble for us to clean up." Ennoshita sighs. You laugh at that.
"He sure does get boisterous." You giggle. Nishinoya is playing about with Hinata, pulling random moves.
"So essentially,"Nishinoya begins. "You go zip, then go whoop, and pow. Like that." He said as he receives a ball. You sweat drop whilst you watch him.
"It's no good." Tanaka sighs. "He can't explain it because he moves purely on instinct."
"Really? I sort of understood what he said." Kageyama perks up.
"Because you belong to his species. When you explain something, all you say is 'pow' and 'woah' and stuff." Tanaka makes large gestures. "Nobody else understands you." Kageyama makes a face of surprise.
"I understand him. But then again, I live with a toddler." You think with pursed lips. You notice Tanaka is just hanging around, watching Nishinoya and the first years. You poke him with the broom. "Are you going to mop or not?"
"Sorry, I'll do it now." He apologises with a grin and begins again. You roll your eyes and clean up after him, listening to Nishinoya's conversation.
"You, I've been noticing your height."He points up at Tsukishima. "How tall are you?"
"Tsukki is--" Yamaguchi begins.
"Shut up, Tadashi." Tsukishima sighs.
"Sorry, Tsukki." He apologises.
"He's 6'2." You answer for them as you walk past.
"Being a stalker again, I see." Tsukishima eyes you.
"(F/n)-chan isn't a stalker, she's a precious dove!" Noya yells at him.
"Yeah, no dissing my sis!" Satoru shouts.
"If anything, I'm a fox... Or a wolf, maybe a honey badger." You drift off. "Either way," you send a sharp glance to Nishinoya and Satoru. "I eat crows."
"So cool!" Hinata squeaks as Nishinoya shivers. You roll your eyes and hit your head against the end of the broom.
"I give up." You sigh loudly.
"They'll always be idiots. Nothing can change that." Tsukishima comments.
"Yeah." Yamaguchi nods. You continue to sweep the floor.
"Um, Nishinoya-Senpai." Hinata walks up to him. Noya hums in acknowledgement. "You were talking about 'Asahi-san.' Who's he?"
"He's Karasuno's Ace, for what it's worth." Noya answers in a serious tone.
"Ace?" Hinata repeats in awe.
"What's with the empty headed look?" Noya asks as he leans forward, looking Hinata over.
"I... Want to be the Ace." Hinata informs.
"Huh?" Nishinoya stares at him in surprise. "Ace? With your height?" Hinata looks down, suddenly disappointed but in no time Noya grabs his shoulder with a bright grin "I like you. Right? You want it because it's awesome, right? But then again," Noya crosses his arms. "It's the Ace that inspires you."
"Yes. Aces are awesome!" Hinata yells.
"The word 'Ace' has an awesome ring to it. 'Setter' and 'Libero' sound boring. But... In a match, when the crowd is going crazy... even more than at an amazing spike, is when there's a super receive." Nishinoya grins. "In the battle of height that is volleyball, Libero is one of the few positions in which a short player can survive. But I'm not a Libero because of my height. I'd be a Libero even if I was two meters tall. Even if your side misses the spike, even if your side can't block... As long as the ball doesn't hit the court... In volleyball, that means you haven't lost. And the one best suited to do that... Is the Libero." Nishinoya declares with a satisfied smile.
"A-awesome." Hinata beams.
"Even if he's boisterous, these are my favorite moments of him." You mumble with a smile.
"J-jackass. Don't say it so sincerely! Damn it!" Nishinoya waves his arm at Hinata, trying to stop the ginger. "I'll buy you two kinds of ice cream. Soda ice and pear flavor."
"Thanks!"
"So, Ace wannabe. What's your specialty?" Noya grins.
"Huh?"
"You're a lousy receiver, but there must be something you're good at."
"Well, um... Decoy..." Hinata mumbles.
"Huh? De-what?"
"Decoy." Hinata frowns.
"When do you say it with such a lack of confidence?"
"Because it doesn't sound flashy like Ace or Guardian Deity."
"Who cares how it sounds? If a spiker is able to score it's because of you - the decoy - then your position is just as important."
"Yes." Hinata stares down atNishinoya's fist that's planted on his chest. Kageyama nods behind him.
"Noya-Kun, you're so cool." Satoru gawks.
"Not you too!" Nishinoya blushes. You laugh, hooking your arm around your brother neck.
"Nishi, have you got anymore moves that we haven't seen?" You ask.
"Oh, I've got--"

"Nananananananana-Batman!" Yuri sings as she follows after you sneakily.
"Yuri, Shut it." You order as you read over the names of the lockers.
"What are we doing here anyway? Are you confessing your undying love for a third year?" She interrogates. If you found the name, you'd also find the class written on the tag.
"Just be quiet and let me be." You then stop. "Azumane Asahi? 3-3... Yuri, I'm done."
"Azumane Asahi, (F/n)-chan wants to confess--!" you quickly slam your hand over her mouth and let out an awkward laugh as some third year girls pass you. Once they are out of sight you send a quick glare at Yuri. "Wahhh! Yakuza-chan is back!" She screams as she runs down the hall.
"Yuri, be quiet. We're gonna get caught." You chase after her. Still chasing after her, you make your way to the first year hall and run into her back. "Ow, my nose." You mumbles as you rub said facial feature.
"Look at that hottie." She whispers to you with a dreamy smile.
"Huh?" You peak around her to see a tall figure with blond hair. "Isn't that..." Then you try to stifle your laughter. "Th-That's Tsukishima!" You break out into laughter. Yuri's face erupts into red as said blond turns to raise an eyebrow at you two. "Oh my god she just-and I-i can't-this is-no-no-I'm gonna die." Your eyes turn red from your laughter as you hold your stomach. Then you grin mischievously at Yuri.
"I didn't realize it was him! I only saw his back!" She whines.
"Love is often mistaken for hate, and you said it was hate at first sight. Maybe it was actually-"
"Don't say another word." She glares.
"Tsukishima, can me and Yuri sit with you at lunch today?" You ask him as you skip towards the tall boy. He looks to you with a scowl, then to Yuri, then back to you.
"I can't stop you. Sit wherever you want." He turns away fro you. Yamaguchi comes out from the class room.
"Yamaguchi, how have things been?" You smile. Now you were in a happy mood, you couldn't stop smiling.
"Today been great, I got 87 on that test. Tsukki got 95!" He beams.
"That's amazing." You smile back at him.
"What did you get?" Yamaguchi looks to Yuri. They are fellow classmates and he hadn't talked to her as much as you, so in his mind he needed to talk to her to not make himself suspicious. Yuri stares at Yamaguchi blankly and casts her gaze to Tsukishima before going bright red.
"I got 85!" She squeaks.
"O-okay, what did you get (L/n)?" Yamaguchi asks you. You think for a moment.
"I got 79, I think. I guess you're smarter than me Yamaguchi." You grin.
"I bet next time you can do better." Yamaguchi encourages.
"I ship it." Yuri snickers.
"Oh look who's back to earth. And don't tease Yamaguchi, just a second ago you were admiring--"
"La-la-la! I can't hear you!" She covers her ears and stamps into the classroom. You smirk to yourself before looking over to both boy.
"Can't wait till lunch." Then you send both of them a small salute before following after Yuri.

"Come on, sis! You haven't been to the club for like, four days!" Satoru huffs as he stands by your locker. You groan.
"Yes and that's four days I've spent with my friends." You say as you slip on your shoes.
"But I've missed you! Without you, I'm missing half of myself." He whines as he hugs your waist, on his knee, in front of everyone.
"Get off." You whisper harshly.
"Not until you agree to come by." He whisper back into your jumper. Your eyes dart around to the people that were looking. They're all staring at you!
"Fine, just please, get off me!" You mumble as you grab your bag.
"I love you too!" He jumps up and grabs your hand. That gains everyone's attention. Your face burns red as you drag him out from the locker room and towards the gym.
"You go in there first, I have to apologize to my friends about not walking home with them. And phone mum, she's going to have to go shopping now because you're so selfish." You huff, opening up your phone. "I'll come by once I'm finished."
"I'm so blessed to have you as a sister." He sniffles as he rubs his nose on his sleeve. He runs off soon after and you send quick texts to your friends and your mother. Then you smirk.
"If I'm the best sister, I don't think he'll mind if I pop to the shops." You grin as you make your way back to the school gates just to catch sight of your friends. "And maybe change my clothes." You nod to yourself. "Yeah, I'm a great sister."

You hold the blue sports drink in your hand and your phone in the other, the plastic bag hanging around your wrist. Okay, maybe buying crisps, sweets and chocolate was a bit much, but who was to tell you otherwise. Keishin wasn't there to tell you off, so you over brought. You approach the gym and hop as you remove one shoe at a time and enter the sweaty smelling room with your socks. Then you spot him.
"Yo, blondie!" You grin as you raise your hand to the man.
"If it isn't the Delivery Girl." He grins, staring down at you.
"It's (f/n), (f-/n). Get that in your head." You smile.
"How have you been?" He asks.
"Over spending at your shop again."
"You're mums gonna be mad."
"Do I look like I care? I just wanted a little snack." You shrug as you drop your bag by the wall, along with your shoes.
"Someone's been grumpy whilst you were gone." He comments then point to the court where your brother was. "He was saying how'd you only come if he asked and how blessed he was to have you. You know, the usual crap."
"Oh yeah. I told him I'd come over here after I text mum. But I went home, got change then brought a load of crap, so..."
"Just don't do it again. That boy gives me a headache."
"You know I do live with him." You raise a brow to him.
"Yep, and you better start running if you wanna live."
"Huh?"
"My beloved sister!" A voice shrieks. Arms curl around your waist as Satoru lifts you from the ground. You give a shrill squeal, hands grabbing onto his shoulder. "I missed you so much, everyone was so mean to me whilst you were gone and I couldn't deal with it!" He cries as he rubs his face in to your stomach.
"Put! Me! Down!" He drops you and quickly runs off before to can throttle him.
"Right away." And he was gone like the wind. You hear Keishin chuckle from beside you.
"What?"
"It's hard to remember that you're both related."
"He has his normal moments. Oh, and whilst I remember, what are you doing here?"
