"Hey f/n-Chan will you wait with me at the boy's volleyball practice?" My friend, Aiko asked. She had been flirting back and forth with the captain of Nekoma's volleyball team.

"Sure," I sighed. I knew it would end up with me standing around her and Kuroo as they blushed at each other. But what are friends for.

After class we headed over to the gym.

She ran over to say hi to him and he grinned as soon as he saw her. I smiled at the ground from second hand embarrassment.

"No you're so stupid! Anyone could have gotten that ball," I heard a voice come through the door. A shorter guy and a really tall guy walked in together arguing.

"Yaku-San the ball was headed right towards my neck I couldn't get it," the taller student said.

"That's when you back up and receive it Lev," the boy, Yaku replied annoyed.

"Easy for you to say. You could have done an overhand receive," Lev replied quietly.

I smiled at what I had over heard and looked at the ground.

"AGH-"

I looked up to see Lev on the floor and Yaku walking over him.

That's when I laughed out loud. I covered my mouth quickly and looked away.

"He got what he deserved," Yaku said and nodded.

I looked up and smiled at him. He walked back over Lev and stood in front of me.

He bowed slightly and I returned the gesture. "I'm Yaku Morisuke," he said and smiled.

"I'm f/n l/n," I replied. A small silence stood between us. "My friend has become close with Kuroo..." I tried to explain why I was there.

"Oh Aiko-san, yeah.. that's cool," he said.

Kuroo and Aiko had finally parted ways. While Aiko returned to me, Yaku had to go to practice. He waved a small bye and smiled.

Aiko looked back and forth between us while making small gestures. I rolled my eyes at her.

"You guys would be so cute together. Especially because of the height," she commented. I was short for being a third year, but so was Yaku.

We stayed through the end of practice and even helped clean up the gym. I pretty much followed Aiko around but then she had to help "organize the closet" with Kuroo.

So I leaned against the gym wall and waited for her.

I heard Yaku and Lev arguing again. About the same thing earlier.

"Hey! L/n! Could you help us settle this?" Yaku called to me.

I looked at the closet, but realized it could take them a while in there.

"Sure," I said and walked over to them.

"Great! So l/n try and receive this ball," Lev said and backed up. Yaku also moved so he was about 6 feet away from me. He bumped it forward to me and I did what Yaku told Lev to do earlier.

I backed up and bumped it up. Yaku received it towards Lev and Lev got mad and spiked it.

The ball flew right to the space between Yaku and I. I dove for it, but so did he. We crashed into each other, but the ball did go up. Lev caught it and dropped it immediately, rushing towards us.

"Ohhhh my gosh," are you two okay?" He asked concerned.

Our shoulders had collided, but our momentum made us slide and fall to the ground. Yaku was on his back and my upper half was on top of him. Our bodies formed a small X.

I sat up and onto my knees and Yaku sat up as well. Lev looked at us. Yaku and I exchanged glances and I broke out into a smile. He smiled back while Lev awkwardly towered over us.

"Yeah were okay Lev," Yaku said quietly while not breaking our eye contact.

"Yaku! Lev!" Kuroo yelled.

"F/n!" Aiko shouted as well.

"We're okay!" Lev yelled and waved.

Lev put the one ball away and left Yaku and I to talk. Yaku talked about Lev's progress. "He Can basically do only one thing, but I guess as a libero I only do one thing," he said sheepishly.

"No I'v been to a few of your games and I played in middle school, I know liberos are incredibly important," I said and looked down. "I was my middle school's libero..."

His head snapped up and his cheeks flushed pink... which made my face heat up.

"Hey f/n ready to go?" Aiko asked. I looked at Yaku and back at her.

"Yeah," I replied and turned to Yaku again. "'Nice talking to you I hope we can do it more often."

We smiled at each other one more time and headed off home.

Aiko talked about her and Kuroo but then switched to talking about Yaku and I. She started bombarding me with questions and cute "what if" moments. I looked down to hide my blush.

"F/n do you like him?" She stopped walking.

"I don't know yet.. Aiko he's so adorable," I said and she grinned at me.

Over the course of a couple months Kuroo and Aiko had become boyfriend and girlfriend. And I had become better friends with the boys volleyball team. More specifically Yaku.

Aiko and I walked to the boys practice to help however we could. It was kind of normal now for us to just hang around them.

Once we got there Aiko left to greet Kuroo and I decided to sneak up on Yaku. I walked silently up to him and jumped on his back.

"ACK-"

He fumbled and we fell to the ground. I laughed at him and he looked shocked. He had turned so abruptly that I was now laying in front of him on his lap, rather that behind him.

I was laughing so hard I fell back onto him after I tried to sit up. His face was pure cuteness and surprise.

Once I had stopped laughing and Yaku had loosened up we just beamed at each other. It was something we found ourselves doing often. My head laid on his lap and he looked down at me.

Just smiling at each other in comfortable silence.

His smile faltered a little and he opened his mouth. He closed it, rethinking but then opened it again.

"F/n do you want to go out with me?" He asked while looking straight into my eyes. My face blushed at the sound of my first name. I had told him he could call me that but he never did.

"Yes, I would love that," I replied and let out a small laugh. I sat up and hugged him making him fall onto his back with my arms around him.

"Aww Chibi-Senpai has a Chibi girlfriend!" Lev cooed.

We both bolted up. Yaku kicked Lev, who stumbled my way, where it was my turn to kick him.

Yaku and I laughed and I hugged him again. Even though Yaku was short, I was shorter. I was the perfect height where when I stood on my toes I could rest my head in the crook of his neck.
