———————————————————————

One afternoon Bokuto gets to the school gym early for the fukurodani’s boys volleyball club practice and he gets to watch the tail end of the girl’s volleyball club‘s practice. He stood outside of the gym door watching how all of the girls seemed to all move in sync with one another but one girl caught his attention the most out of all of them and that was the team’s libero.

Bokuto’s eyes widened as she seemed to move like lightning as she hit the ball at the last second and the ball soared back to the air over the net but it ended up hitting the net and dropping to the floor. “You were so close that time”, one of the other girls says as she goes to pat the libero on the back. “I wasn’t good enough”, she mutters with an irritated look in her eyes.

“Alright that’s enough for today, the boy’s club will be coming in soon for their practice time”, the coach says as all of the girls head off of the court and over to the water cooler. The libero goes to pick up her water bottle and Bokuto walks over to her. “Oh excuse me” he says. She turns to look at him with a curious look on her face. “You’re Koutarou Bokuto-San right” she asks. “Yeah” he says with an energetic look in his eyes. “You know you could hit those hard shots with a bit more practice, you were really close”. She sighs exasperated as she shakes her head. “I’ve been trying for weeks”, she mutters and shakes her head. “but I just can’t get it right”. “What’s your name” he asks. “Yn ln”, “well ln-San How about I show you how to hit those spikes” he says. Yn looks at him warily. “You’re one of the best players in the prefecture, what would you want in return for helping me.”? Bokuto looks confused. “What do you mean I don’t want anything I just want to help an awesome libero give off their full potential”. Yn sighs. “Alright then do you want to meet back here at the gym this weekend bokuto san”? Bokuto grins. “Sure yn”! “Hey I didn’t say you could call me by my given name, we aren’t friends or anything”. “Okay whatever you say ln-chan”! “Hey I didn’t say you could call me chan either”!

That weekend yn and Bokuto met up at the gym. “So where do you want to start”, yn asks after they have both changed into their volleyball uniforms. “How about just hitting it back and forth as a warm up for us both”, Bokuto asks. Yn nods as she stretches her arms over her head so she will be ready to practice. “That sounds good”.

For a while the only sound in the gym is the echoing sound of the ball being hit back and forth between yn and Bokuto. “Alright now that we have warmed up, wanna try some hits” Bokuto asks. Yn nods and takes her place on the other side of the court. “Alright here it goes”, Bokuto says, hitting the ball towards her with more strength than before. Yn grunts as she goes to hit the ball and she barely makes it over to the other side of the net. “That was good but try putting your weight more into your hips when you go down to hit the ball,'' Bokuto says as he demonstrates for yn. Yn nods. “Okay let’s try that then”. “Okay here it comes”, Bokuto yells as he hits the ball towards yn again.

Yn gasps happily as she feels the ball connect with her arm and she feels more strength behind the ball as it soars across the gym. “Woah nice shot” Bokuto yells running to get the ball before coming back to the court. “You sure could give me a run for my money yn-Chan”. “I told you not to call me by my given name Bokuto-San”, yn yells. “Whoops sorry I forgot” Bokuto says scratching the back of his head.

After practicing for about an hour yn and Bokuto go to take drinks from their water bottles. “When do you think that I can actually start hitting hard spikes” yn asks looking over at him. Bokuto shrugs. “I think today went pretty well but you don’t want to tire yourself out completely so how about we meet back here next weekend and we can see if you can hit spikes then does that sound good”? Yn nods. “Yeah sounds great see you next weekend Bokuto-san”. “See you next weekend ln-chan”. “Stop calling me that” she yells as she walks out of the gym. Bokuto laughs out loud. “Hey I can’t help it, you're cute when you’re mad”!

That week at practice yn’s team teases her about spending time practicing with Bokuto. “I heard you were alone with Bokuto-San in the gym this past weekend” one of them says giving yn a wink. Yn rolls her eyes. “He’s just teaching me how to hit harder spikes and that’s all I mean he isn’t even my friend or anything”, she says. “Are you sure about that”? another girl on the team asks, jerking her thumb over to the gym door.

Yn turns to look to see what her teammate was talking about and she raises her eyebrows when she spots Bokuto peaking around the corner of the gym door and he seems to be glaring over at her. Yn rolls her eyes and she hears over to the door. “What do you want Bokuto-San, I thought that we were not going to meet until this weekend”. “I thought I could watch you practice and see how you work in a team setting so that I can better understand your playing” Bokuto says. Yn nods. “That makes sense but why aren’t you here in the gym you could see better from in here than standing out there”. “Oh uh thanks”, Bokuto says as he goes to stand on the sidelines of the court. “Is that your boyfriend” the coach asks teasingly as yn walks back over to the court. Yn’s cheeks blush red in embarrassment. “He’s not my boyfriend” she yells which causes Bokuto to look over at her curiously which makes her blush even more.

That weekend Bokuto brings akaashi along with him to their practice so that he can set up spikes for Bokuto to hit to yn. “Nice to meet you my name is yn ln” she says. Akashi nods. “Bokuto has talked a lot about you”, he says. “Oh really” yn asks smirking as she crosses her arms. “So what has he said about me” she asks. Akaashi shrugs. “Oh he said that you’re a really good libero and that you put your all into your practices”. “Akaashi”, Bokuto says as his face heats up. “You didn’t have to tell her that”. Yn smirks. “It’s okay Bokuto-San I think you’re really good at volleyball as well”. “Really” bokuto says energetically. “Thanks yn-chan”! Yn groans. “For the last time don’t call me by my given name”!

“Alright here goes the first one”, akaashi says as he sets up a high spike for bokuto. Bokuto grins as he runs up and be slams the ball with his hand to spike it. Yn darts over to hit the ball but it hits her arm and flies off of the court and onto the sidelines. “Ugh it’s just not working” she yells frustrated. “You were close” Bokuto yells. “Try aiming your hands more for the ball,'' akaashi says. “That way it will be a direct hit”. Yn nods as she gets back into position. “Alright let’s go again then”.

“Here it comes”, akaashi yells as he spikes it to Bokuto once more. Bokuto hits the ball and yn’s eyes widen as she concentrates on her aim. Suddenly the ball connects with her hands instead of her arms and the ball goes sailing back over the net to the other side of the court. The ball hits the floor with a thud. “It’s in” akaashi says. “Alright” yn yells as she pumps her fist in the air. “Way to go yn-chan” Bokuto yells. “Thanks Bokuto-san” she yells back but suddenly she coughs. “Oh um yeah thanks for teaching me how to hit those Bokuto” she says. “Does that mean we can be friends, you didn’t add the San to my name that time”. “Maybe” she says with a shrug. “But I still have a long way to go before I’m actually good enough for a game”. “What are you talking about?'' Bokuto says with a bewildered look on his face. “That was amazing, I would say you will do really well in a game”. “Yeah whatever, I'm going home bye Bokuto bye akaashi-san ”, she says as she walks out of the gym. “She let you call her by her given name then” akaashi says. “Yeah maybe she really is warming up to me,'' Bokuto says as a grin spreads across his face.

That week the girls volleyball club has a big game and Bokuto goes to watch them but he doesn’t let yn know that he is there cheering for her and the fukurodani team on in the stands.

The game is close as the Fukurodani girls team is at match point and the other team is just a point behind them. “We have to get this one in if we want to take this set and not have to play another set” the captain says. Yn nods and she turns back to the court ready to face their opposing team as they go to serve the ball.

The ball is hit back and forth multiple times over the net and the blockers on the other team go to block the ball but it makes it through. Yn quickly calculates the distance and without thinking she goes to hit the spike back over the net. Please work!

Yn gasps as she feels the ball connect with her hands and then it is the air again as it soars towards the net. Please go over! The ball makes it over the net and it lands on the floor on the other team’s side. The score keeper flips the point over and points towards the fukurodani team. “We did it” yn whispers. “We did it”, the team cheers.

“Yn hey”! Yn turns to the door of the gym and Bokuto is standing there waving at her with a wide grin spread across his face. “Congratulations” he yells. Yn grins as she races up to him. “We won, koutarou we did it,'' she says as she jumps up and he grabs her in a hug and spins them in a circle. “Yeah you sure did it yn”, he says laughing loudly.

Suddenly the adrenaline wears off and Yn gasps as Bokuto sets her down. They both are blushing profusely as they back to look at each other. “So I’d say we are friends now right” Bokuto asks her. “I mean you did call me by my given name after all”. “I’d like to think that after all of that we would be more than friends I guess I read that wrong”, yn says crossing her arms. Bokuto’s eyes widened. “Wait, hold on really, but I thought you didn’t like me,'' Bokuto says. Yn rolls her eyes. “That’s before I got to know you Bokuto-san so what do you say”? “First of all” he says holding up his hand. “You aren’t allowed to call me Bokuto-san anymore alright”? “Fine koutarou,'' she says as her cheeks heat up. Bokuto grins. “So does that mean I can you by your given name?'' he asks. “Fine” she says as she turns away blushing. “Alright yn” he says loudly as he takes her by the hand and he goes to pull her out of the gym. “Hey what are you doing koutarou”?, she asks. He looks back at her with a wide grin. “Taking you on a date we’re getting ice cream to celebrate your win alright”? “Alright let’s go then” she says smiling at him as they walk out of the gym with their hands interlocked together.
