"Would you like a ride back to the school on our bus Y/N?" The coach asks you, knowing yours had already left.  You nod, realizing you have no other way to get home anyway.

You get on the bus with everyone, first thanking the boy who loads your bag into the back, before plopping down in the second seat in the front.

Tooru still isn't on yet, and he comes in last.  He doesn't even look around before plopping down next to you, you open your mouth to say something but he shushes you. "Just shut up and move over, there's more of me than you." You purse your lips but comply, scooting closer to the window. The boy puts his head back and closes his eyes, you stare at him for a moment, just observing him.

You lean your head against the window, thinking about the newfound respect for him you discovered today.

You peak to the side at him again, but his eyes remain closed, I admire you Oikawa Tooru. But I'll never tell you that.

The team decided to get ramen after all, but the coach treated you all instead of Oikawa.

You sit next to Kindaichi, who is still bawling his eyes out.

"Blow your nose Kindaichi," Matssun says and you hand him a tissue.

He is definitely the baby of the team

You finished your bowl, having eaten a big lunch meant you didn't want seconds.

Meanwhile, Tooru was eating like a maniac, "He's going to throw up."  You mutter while looking over at the boy. 

"Slow down Tooru!"

"Shut up Y/N!"

When everyone finishes, the team splits in the directions they need to go, the majority, including you, had to go to the right.

Tooru kept saying, 'shit' because he was so pissed off, and Iwa couldn't get a scowl off his face.

The other third years, who you just met that retired, were a little bit of a breath of fresh air.

"Hajime, relax your face your forehead wrinkles are way too intense right now."  Yuda comments, "I know, damn it!" He snaps, you sweatdrop and look behind you at Tooru, who begins to speak, "Sawamura-kuns receives, Baldy's follows, Goatees follows, Watachi's receives, Mad Dogs follows, Tobios direct attacks, and Kindaichis blocks..."  You look up from beside him at his face, neutral once again.

"Everyone was giving 120 percent back there," His neutral expression drops into a frown, "But in the end, Karasuno was just slightly above us!  Just a little bit!"  He shouts angrily but then stops his tantrum, "But most of all Iwa-chan, you should be proud of hitting that set with absolutely perfect timing." 

Iwa doesn't miss a beat, "This all pisses me off even more because both the toss and my timing were absolutely perfect!"

"Damn straight!"  Oikawa yells back, and you step out of the way to let them have their moment.

Are they about to share a passionate kiss under the sunset?

"But you should yell at me for not being able to get that last ball even though I reacted to it!  I'm way more pissed off!" You look at Mattsun and he looks back, both of your faces blank, and then you both look forward again.

Iwa then throws Oikawa like a shotput ball, "Why are you guys competing over this?"  Mattsun asks rhetorically, "Nice spin." Makki comments and you snort.

"Anyway, weren't we headed home?"  Mattsun says with a smile, looking off into the sunset

This is straight out of a movie.
