"my girl"

Kuroo and y/n enjoy the comfort of having a friend who enjoys the same interest as the other. It helps them ease each other's sadness of being separated from the people who are important to them.

They start coming to school together and sit in the same room. Eat together during lunch and walk to the gym for club activities. In the afternoon, they are still together as they come home. They also play volleyball during weekends with Kenma. This became their new routine for the next few months.

It's around 7pm, Wednesday.

y/n is reading a book when she heard a loud thud on the window. She knows what it means. Kuroo.

"Hey stop throwing stuff into my window!" She yelled after opening the window to see Kuroo on the other side. "Look! you're dumping stuff on our yard." She pointed all the different things Kuroo has thrown scattering on the yard below them.

"Hahaha sorry. Anyway, how's the practice so far? Next week will be your first official match!" He mentioned with excitement in his voice.

y/n pressed her lips. "I don't know. I'm nervous. I thought I'll just be a pinch server but I end to be in the starting line-up." She said worriedly.

"What's with the long face? Isn't it great? means your team ****** you!"

"I don't know if I'll feel motivated or pressured." She laughs.

"I know you can do it. Let's practice with Kenma this weekend! We'll tell you things you need to know about official matches." Kuroo replied but interrupted when his phone rings. "Sorry, need to go." He waved to y/n and she returned it.

Kuroo looks at the name flashing on his phone. It's Yoko. He glides the icon to answer.

"Hello, How are you?" He answered.

"Tetsuro...hello" the girl answered on the other line. "umm... are you free this weekend?" she asked a bit sounding hesitant.

"I don't have plans. Why?" He instantly answered forgetting that he just promised y/n a minute ago.

"I have a competition this weekend. It's 'kinda' near Tokyo. Maybe, you wanna come?" she's trying to sound considerate by giving him a chance to accept or decline. "It's an hour and a half from Tokyo and it'll be in the afternoon." She followed.

"Sure!" He answered without any hesitation. He kinda misses her too anyway. It's been months.

"Really?! Thank you, Tetsuro! Love you!" She expressed as she can't hold her happiness anymore.

"For you Kitten." He smiled but the guilt hit him as he remembered accidentally using that nickname to y/n once before.

"We'll practice with l/n-san in the park tomorrow, right?. Hope sh—" Kenma said over the phone.

"No! Kenma! Wait. Damn! Shit, How could I forgot?!" Kuroo interrupts. His voice panicking.

"Huh?"

"I promised both l/n and Yoko that I'll meet them tomorrow!" He screamed over the phone.

It's silent on the other end for a good five seconds. Kenma is thinking how crazy his friend is. He wants to scold him but it'll take a lot of energy so he decides not to. He sighs. "You're an idiot."

"What should I do? I want to help l/n but I don't want to disappoint Yoko as well." He explained.

"I think, l/n-san would understand if you tell her," Kenma said.

"No, I promised her first. I know she'll understand but—"

"Then meet them both?" Kenma cut him. "What time is Tamami's competition?" He asked.

"After lunch—wait! I can practice with y/n in the morning and go to Yoko in the afternoon. You're genius Kenma!"

And that's what happened.

y/n, Kenma, and Kuroo go to the park early morning to start practicing. They gave y/n ideas on how an official match works from the player's point of view. Also about the preparation and how to overcome her nervousness.

After the long hours of talking and training, they decide to dine at the nearby fast food to eat lunch before Kuroo leaves.

"What time is her competition?" y/n asked. She knows that Kuroo has a girlfriend but she doesn't know much anything except for her name and that she's a gymnast who studies high school in Miyagi.

"2pm. I have to leave maybe around 12 or 12:30. The stadium is more than an hour from here." He replied as he gets the tray of his order.

"Ahh..anyway. Make sure to bring your umbrella. News says it'll have a thunderstorm in the afternoon." She reminds and also carries her tray of food and follows Kuroo behind. Kenma follows after her quietly.

She walks behind Kuroo passing through the tables and groups of people, letting him lead to finding a table.

Suddenly, a guy with undercut and spiky blond hair sitting on one of the tables intentionally blocks her way using his feet. She trips on it and twisted her ankle causing her to fall on the floor. The cup of soda on her tray fell and landed on the man's shoes.

"Hey miss, look what you have done?!" He said with a cocky smile. Y/n stood up, she feels a pain strike on her ankle. She wanted to get out of the situation as fast as possible so she brushed off the pain and apologizes even she knows it's his fault. "I'm sorry."

"Sorry? It's not enough! Hmmm...maybe you could give me your number so we could talk about it!" He stood leaning closer to the girl. She moves a step back.

"Come on just your number miss."

She planned to give him a fake one but before she does, a punch flew landing on the blonde's face. He fell into his chair catching the attention of other customers.

"Hey, Kuroo, stop!" She held him and Kenma helped too.

The boy stood up. An irate expression was shown on his face. He wiped the blood on his nose by the back of his palm before advancing and landing a punch back to Kuroo.

"Who the hell are you!? Digging into other people's business acting like a hero?!" The boy shouted while griping on the collar of Kuroo's shirt.

Kuroo ignores the blood dripping on the side of his lip and grabs the boy's shirt as well.

y/n was surprised and scared at that moment. She wanted to stop them but she's not strong enough to do it. She silently wished someone from the crowd or from the crew will interfere.

"Who am I!?" Kuroo paused and smirked "You're just hitting on my girl just in front of me!" He shouted angrily before pushing him back onto the floor.

Y/n witnesses in front of her how fast everything unfolds. Her jaw still dropping as Kuroo grabbed her hand and pull her away from the guy.

Wait!

My...

girl?

Me?

His girl?

"EHHHHHHHH?!"
