4) Embarassing

                                    

                                          
"This is so embarrassing. I don't think I'll ever recover." You hold your nose as your new teammate laughs at you, her name is Teruhashi Kitomi. She's the libero on the team, she's very noticeable with her bright—almost yellow—blonde hair.  
"Oh it's fine, it was an amazing dig you just didn't brace yourself the right way." You deadpan, "You had to pancake it to get it." 
She chuckles, "That's besides the point. You're the one that got it over." 
You do the Debby Ryan and tuck your hair behind your ear, "I guess I did do that didn't I?" Teruhashi laughs through her cringe.
"Shut up bro."
You and Teruhashi had immediately clicked from the start, there was just something about the way you both played volleyball that gravitated you toward each other. 
"Ok it's done bleeding, let's go back quickly." You rush to put the tissue in the garbage and clean your hands and face, and then the two of you jog back to practice. 
When you arrive, your team for the scrimmage starts to cheer for you and you roll your eyes playfully.  After checking in with the coach, you sub in with the person who stepped in for you while you were away. 
"Outside!" You shout, your hand raised up high as soon as the ball comes over the net. 
"L/n-san!" The setter, Sasaki, calls out.
I hate to admit it, but Tooru's sets are way better. 
You slam the ball down the line, landing a little off balance due to the floor not being sand. 
I gotta work on that otherwise I'm boutta break an ankle 🤸‍♀️
"Great set Sasaki-chan," you smile at the first year and she grins back with a thumbs up.  
You smile to yourself while facing the net, I already have a feeling I'm gonna love this team.

  "I watched you face plant after your dig," Tooru opens while walking toward you.
"Hi y/n, how are you? Oh, I'm great thanks for asking." You quip sarcastically while walking past him, he laughs and easily matches his stride with yours. 
"How was your practice besides you getting a bloody nose in front of both our coaches?" You groan, "Yours was watching too?!"
I will NEVER recover 🕳🏃‍♀️
"Yeah but otherwise you were hitting very well on the girl's net, your cut shot is insane, and your line is not bad either." 
You blink at him, your head tilted to the side. "Did Oikawa Tooru just compliment me? I think it's the end of the world, pinch me." You hold out your arm but he shoves it to the side, "I don't know what you're talking about, I'm always nice." 
You raise an eyebrow, "Yeah...right..." 
"Shut up y/n, you don't know anything about me." He huffs while crossing his arms, you raise your eyebrows at him.
"We've lived together for—what—three months now? I think I've got a good idea regarding your character Tooru."
You're an asshole 😃
He scoffs, "Sure you do y/n. Y'know I might just surprise you." You nod absently, "Sure, sure."
"What do you mean by 'sure, sure?' Name like four things I've done that weren't nice." 
You count on your fingers but when you get to four the tall boy reaches out and pushes your hands down, "Okay never mind, never mind!" 
You laugh, "Does that mean you're going to be nicer?"
