“Hm hm.” You hummed under your breath. Your boyfriend, Tsukishima, had allowed you to borrow his headphones for the bus trip to their tournament. You hummed along to your favorite song, bobbing your heat up and down, vibing hard.
Your movements caused him to jolt awake from your shoulder. Groaning loudly from the awkward and uncomfortable position he had fallen asleep in, he took off his glasses, rubbing his eyes tiredly.
You slid the headset off your head and paused the song, smiling up at him. “How was your nap?”
“Tch...it was alright I suppose.”
“Sorry if I woke you up.”
“It’s alright shortie.”
“I’m not short!”
“Whatever you say short-stacks.” He grinned at you. You huffed, crossing your arms over your chest, handing him his headset back.
“What were you listening to?”
“Just a playlist I made.”
“Mmm...interesting. I’ll give it a listen after the tournament.” He replied, placing his chin on top of your head, breathing in deeply to inhale your scent. He sighed, easily slipping his arms around your waist and hugging you tightly.
A few minutes later, the bus screeched to a halt and everyone stepped off the bus.
“Alright boys. We need to keep our head in the game. We’re playing in a tournament, you hear me? That means, no looking at Kiyoko-san or [name]-san. They’re our managers and you looking at them instead of the ball is inappropriate, especially in a public game.” Daichi announced, clapping his hands together.
Tanaka and Nishinoya pouted but nodded their heads sadly. “Yes coach.”
“Alright! Now get in there and warm up! Chop chop!”
You slid Tsukishima’s bag off your shoulder and slung it over his. He bent down to look you in the eyes. You took his glasses off and kissed his nose. Then his lips. The two of you wished the moment could last longer, but it sadly had to end, like all good times in life. He scowled under his breath as Daichi called for him to hurry his ass over.
Handing his glasses to him, you smiled gently. “Go beat their asses for me, kay?”
“...whatever.” His cheeks were flushed pink and he looked away. “I- I gotta go. Cheer for me?” He asked softly.
“You bet.” You replied, grinning. He chuckled under his breath at that and ran to catch up with the rest of the team. You followed Kiyoko to the inside of the building, quickly setting up the water bottles and towels. Taking a seat on the bench next to their coach, Ukai, and their other ‘coach’ Takeda. Your e/c orbs followed all of the boys’ movements, taking in all of it. They were so strong, so fierce. They could do it, they can make it to the finals!
The whistle blew and the game began. Of course after the practice game they had against Aoba Johsai made them sharper against their amazing setter, Oikawa Toru. He grinned, his eyes piercing straight at you. You clicked your tongue, clearly not impressed with the boy’s tactics to gain your attention.
He threw the ball up into the air, jumping up along with it. “Ooooooooole!” The team strung out the word, watching Oikawa hit the ball violently with the palm of his hand. He looked terrifying like that and made you shiver in your seat at the sidelines.
The game ended with Karasuno winning by one point. It was all because of Tsukishima’s great blocking and Kageyama and Hinata’s dynamic duo. You had cheered for the whole team loudly, making them more anxious to win to please their innocent sweet angel of a manager.
The whistle blew again and the teams shook hands. Though Daichi and Oikawa looked like they were strangling each other’s arms. Their eyes twitched as they let go reluctantly.
“Don’t worry, we’ll win next time.”
“Hah, we’ll see about that.” Daichi grumbled, turning on his heel, his shoe squeaking against the floor. You handed each team member a water bottle and a towel. Making your way to Tsukishima and Yamaguchi, you congratulated them on their win.
“Thanks!” Yamaguchi replied with a chirpy tone.
“Yeah, thanks..” Kei responded quietly, taking the towel gratefully and wiping the sweat that was dripping from his face. You grinned boldly holding a piece of his favorite candy in front of his face. It was some old Valentine’s day candy you got from some boy admirers that year. It was only a month ago, so the candy was still good. His eyes widened and followed the candy like he was being hypnotized.
“You want it?”
“Yes...must...have...candy..”
“Too bad.” You said with a smirk, downing the piece of candy and sucking on it thoughtfully on your tongue. “Hm...strawberry...not bad.”
His eyes narrowed and he picked you up by the waist, shutting his eyes closed and bringing his lips to yours. You gasped and he took this chance to slip his tongue into your mouth, battling your tongue for the candy. Before long, he won and he pulled away, saliva connecting your lips. The candy was wedged between his teeth and he grinned, tilting his head at you.
“BOKE!” You squeal, thrashing wildly in his arms. He chuckled, letting you stand on your own feet. You huffed, snorting.
“Pft, get a room.” Kageyama said.
“Yeah, so should you and Hianta, your majesty.” Kei shot back.
Kageyama spat out his water, doubling over. His cheeks were bright red. “W-what? Me and Hinata- we’re not- what the hell?!”
“Kei take that back. Come on, you shouldn’t tease them.”
“The King started it.”
“And stop calling him that.”
“Fine.” He muttered reluctantly. Your lips curled into a small smile and you got on your tippy toes, pecking his cheek. His face lit up like a stove and he looked away, the tips of his ears bright crimson red. He cleared his throat loudly.
“Uh, your welcome shortie.”
The team bursted into fits of laughter, even Daichi. “Oh my god! I think you broke him [name]!” He said, wiping his eyes.
You tilted your head curiously at him. “What?”
“I think what he means is that he wants to finally ask you to have s-”
Sugawara cut Tanaka off, clamping a hand over his mouth so as to not taint you and Hinata’s innocence. “To have a date sometime? It has been a while since I’ve seen you guys go out.”
“Really?” You turned to Tsukishima, who had calmed down.
“Yeah, I guess.”
“Then I’d love to.”
Oikawa made his way over. “Hey chibi-chan!”
Iwaizumi was also there, hands crossed. He rolled his eyes at Oikawa’s attitude. “Come on, Shittykawa, we should get back now.”
“But I want to say good-bye to chibi-chan first!” He whined.
Your eyes narrowed. “Go away please.”
“Aw you’re so cute when you reject me.” Oikawa tittered, his eyes glossing over. Tsukishima stepped in.
“Get lost, dumbass; [name] and I are dating so go find some other poor girl to annoy.”
Iwaizumi snickered, covering it with a cough. His friend pouted. “Fine. See you later chibi-chan.”
“And stop calling her that!” Kei yelled after Oikawa as he left.
“Overprotective, are we?” Daichi grinned at Tsukishima. His face reddened again and he turned his face from the team, his crimson ears the only evidence as to him blushing.
“Come on Tsukki. I’ll get you a dino plushie and strawberry shortcake later, okay?”
“Mmm..” He muttered and nodded, wrapping his arms around your waist, nuzzling his face into the crook of your neck. You giggled at that and ruffled his hair. He could be salty, but you loved him anyway.
