~Back In The Game~

~Chapter Eleven~

-Last Time-

"(Y/N)?" someone says as you're snapped out of your thoughts.

--

"Huh?!" you say while looking for the source of the voice.

"Are you okay?" a boy with medium-length dark brown hair and slightly down-turned eyes, take make him look sleepy, says.

"Yeah, I'm good..." you drag out hoping he'll tell you his name.

"Ennoshita Chikara," he states. You smile and hold out your hand for a handshake.

"(L/N) (Y/N), but please call me (Y/N). It's nice to meet you." you introduce yourself while shaking his hand.

"It's nice to meet you too," he expresses as he lets go of your hand. "I'm a second-year, and I'm guessing you're a first-year?"

"Yeah..." you shyly confirm while rubbing the back of your neck. 'Cute.' he thinks.

"Well, I'm glad you joined the club."

"O-Oh, I'm-" you try to explain before being interrupted.

"(Y/N)!!) Hinata yells running up to you. "Look at my jacket! Isn't it cool?!"

"Yeah...so cool!" you say trying to be excited for him. He continues to rant about his jacket while you stand there smiling awkwardly. Someone says your name so you turn to see Kiyoko next to you. "Yes?"

She holds out her hands that have something in them, something you didn't notice she had at first. You ask if it's for you and she nods. You hesitantly take it from her with thanks. You look at the soft black object before unfolding it. When you do, you see it's the front of a jacket. You freeze for a moment before looking a Kiyoko with hope. She smiles and nods, indicating you to turn it around. You look back at the jacket and slowly turn it around. 'Karasuno High School Volleyball Club' is printed on the back. Staring at the words, you notice tears start to form in your eyes. You quickly wipe them away, hoping no one saw, but unfortunately, some people did.

"Tch. If I had to put mine on, you have to also." Tsukishima says bitterly. You look at him with a worried expression before trying it on.

"It fits!!" you exclaim excitedly as you start looking at it in awe. 'At least she's not crying anymore...'

"Of course, it fits. Why wouldn't it?" Daichi asks. You stop admiring your jacket and look at him.

"O-Oh, um..." you stutter as you try to find an excuse. "I just got excited." He looks at you skeptically but decides to drop it. You sigh in relief as you go stand with your first-year clubmates.

"(Y/N)! YOU LOOK SO HOT IN OUR JACKETS! BLACK SUITS-" Tanaka starts screaming before getting cut off by Daichi hitting his head.

"Hey, guys?" Daichi says to get our attention. "As the captain of the Karasuno Volleyball Club, let me be the first...to welcome you!"

"Thank you, sir!" Kageyama and Hinata shout together. Everyone disperses into their own little groups. You walk to Daichi, Suga, and Kiyoko.

"Excuse me..." you politely get their attention. "I just wanted to thank you for letting me play in the game. Also for letting me join the club and giving me a jacket." You lovingly look at your jacket, then look at your senpais. "Thank you!" you exclaim while bowing. You hear chuckling before someone speaks.

"There's no need to bow." You stand straight and look at Suga. He smiles, "We're grateful you joined." You smile and quickly hug him. You thank him again before hugging Kiyoko and Daichi. After hugging the three you go over to Ennoshita and the two other guys with him.
