"Great news, everyone. We're having a home game at a school called Nekoma. They're in the Fukurodani academy chain, and a Tokyo powerhouse." Atsumu announced. Everyone cheered.

"That means we can put some of our new recruits to practice against another team. I mean, this seems like it's just for fun and would probably be an easy win for us anyway." Osamu commented.

"Yeah. Let's practice now, though, we can't waste that much time." Suna said as he walked to the ball cart.

Everyone separated to practice while a new recruit second year, (L/n) (Y/n) drank water. Nekoma. He used to play on Nekoma's volleyball team, but his grandfather got sick, so, (Y/n)' mother, being the responsible daughter, and single mother, decided to move (Y/n) to Inarizaki, and took care of her father with her brother. He had many friends on the Nekoma volleyball team, who he was excited to see again, but he wanted to see one particular member the most. That someone Shibayama Yuuki, his best friend since childhood, and long time crush.

"C'mon now, (L/n)! Don't be slacking off, now!" Atsumu yelled from across the gym.

"Yes captain!" (Y/n) replied as he finally got up and went to practice. He was Inarizaki's new pinch server. Originally he was a middle blocker, a disciple of Kuroo Tetsurou himself, and mixed in with some help from Suna every now and then, but he was better at serving naturally, so Inarizaki decided that they'd make (Y/n) their pinch server. (Y/n) knew Shibayama, or as he liked to call him, Shiba-yuuki, was a libero, so he didn't want to put his all into his serves, in fear of hurting the little guy. But he was still determined to win his past team anyway.

"Shibayama, Lev, have you heard?" Inuoka asked.

"Heard what?" Shibayama asked.

"We're playing against Inarizaki in a few days." Inuoka replied.

Shibayama glowed. He smiled, he hasn't seen (Y/n) in so long, he missed (Y/n).

"Oh! That's cool. I heard (Y/n) moved to that school." Lev commented.

"Hmm, we might get to see him again! Well, that's if he joins their volleyball club." Shibayama deflated.

"Dang, you really miss him, don't you?" Lev asked.

"He's been my best friend since I was an infant, Lev. We lived next to each other, we had many family dinners together, we used to shower together, I think. My point, Lev, is that (Y/n) and I were never separated until he moved. I really miss him." Shibayama smiled sadly.

"Wait, OK, you used to shower together?" Inuoka asked.

"We were 5, Inuoka, don't think anything weird." Shibayama replied.

"Thank you for having us!" Nekoma VBC's members thanked Inarizaki.

"Thank you for coming!" Inarizaki's side thanked back.

The two teams went back to practice a bit before they would play against each other.

"Alright, serving practice. We'll go one by one!" Atsumu clapped. "Starting from left to right!"

... guess who's all the way at the right. That's right, it's (Y/n).

Osamu served first, then Atsumu, and Suna, and everyone until it reached (Y/n). He looked right at Shibayama, and smiled. He threw the volleyball up at almost his head's reach, jumped, and smashed it onto the other side of the net.

"Wow, you're pumped up today! What's up with you today." Atsumu asked.

"Nothing much." (Y/n) replied.

Shibayama looked at the ball as it smashed on the floor.

"Whoa... (Y/n) really improved his serves..." Yamamoto commented.

"Yeah, but we're just as good." Lev said.

.

The first set was almost over. Nekoma was in the lead, at 21-15, a good 6 points away from each other. The coach had switched Suna out with (Y/n).

"You'll get many points." Suna said as he high-fived (Y/n).

"Thank you, Suna-san."

(Y/n) walked to the court to serve. Someone passed him the ball. (Y/n) dribbled the ball, trying to calm his nervousness. He wasn't going to aim at Shibayama, he was going to aim the ball at Kenma. The referee blew the whistle, and (Y/n) did the same jump serve he did earlier, aimed directly at Kenma. (Y/n) moved up to take Suna's position. He watched as Shibayama moved in to receive the ball, and sent it to Kenma who moved to where Shibayama used to be. (Y/n) cursed underneath his breath. Kenma set the ball to Yamamoto as (Y/n) moved up to block his past senpai. Yamamoto spiked, (Y/n) blocked it, and the ball fell right on Nekoma's court.

"Great job, (L/n)!" Atsumu exclaimed.

"Thank you, Atsumu-san." (Y/n) said as he walked off to serve.

.

.

.

At this point, (Y/n) had served many times, but now with the exception that he was only to serve semi-weakly when he served at Shibayama. While he did that, Shibayama also slacked off at receiving the ball for the team. Everyone was so confused at the two's behavior, everything going through their mind was "What's up with him?" that was until Inuoka noticed Shibayama eying, and blushing at (Y/n) ever so often. Then it hit him.

"Holy yakisoba bun!" Inuoka exclaimed.

"What?" Kenma asked.

"Nothing, nothing!" Inuoka said as he turned around to face Lev. "Dude, I think I cracked the code."

Lev was confused. "Cracked what code?"

"Why Shibayama is acting strange!" Inuoka whisper-shouted. "I think he likes (Y/n)!"

"Wait really? Does (Y/n) like him back?" Lev asked.

"I don't know, I guess we'll see."

.

.

.

(Y/n) looked at Shibayama. It was the second set, and he went back to sit with the first years and some subs.

"(Y/n), why do you keep looking at him?" Yuuto, a third year pinch server and (Y/n)'s cousin, asked.

"... that's my crush." (Y/n) answered.

"Oooh~ why don't you make a move sometime? Like, after this match." Yuuto suggested.

"Maybe."

.

.

.

The match had ended. Inarizaki had won Nekoma- 2-1. Shibayama was walking out of the gym, but then suddenly...

"Yuuki!" (Y/n) called out.

"Yeah, (Y/n)?" Yuuki asked. His face had turned a bit red.

"I was wondering if maybe sometime you wanna come over, and like, go out... if you want, of course." (Y/n) chuckled.

"Sure... like, as a catch up or...?"

"As a date..." (Y/n) replied, turning red.

"Oh! Sure. I'll go out with you." Yuuki replied as he hugged (Y/n). "But I better go before I miss the train back to Tokyo."

"Let's text about the details later."

"Alright! See you, (Y/n)!" Yuuki exclaimed as he ran off to his friends.

"So, what'd (Y/n) talk to you about?" Inuoka asked.

"He asked me to go on a date with him." Yuuki said, smiling a bit, and blushing a lot.

"That's so cool!" Lev exclaimed.

Meanwhile, with (Y/n) and Yuuto...

"gREAT JOB (Y/N)!"

"Yuuto, tone it down!"
