Sakusa eventually left and you changed into running gear, getting ready for a run. "Don't get lost okay" your mom called as you left the house. "Don't worry, even if I do I have my gps on" you said before starting to jog.

About 15 minutes in you noticed a gymnasium and decided to check it out. Walking in, you noticed lots of people playing volleyball. A middle aged lady approached you. "Hello dear, did you need something?" she asked.

"Oh no, I just noticed this place on my run and wanted to check it out. I can leave if it's a bother" you said quickly. She shook her head, smiling. "This is a gym where people come to play volleyball freely. We don't have a team here or anything, it's just for fun." Your eyes lit up. "Is there any requirements to join?" you asked.

"Well only those over 14 are allowed in for safety reasons." You nodded. "I'm 16, I can get verification if you need. Can I come here?"
"Of course, bring a passport or some form of ID and you can come train whenever we're open."

You smiled at the lady. "Thank you, I'll come back tomorrow." She waved you off as you continued your run.

You finished your run about an hour later, returning home and taking a shower before cleaning around the room slightly and falling asleep.

Waking up at the same time as yesterday, you got ready for school and got there early. Walking into the classroom you saw Sakusa already sat down. You skipped over to him, smiling. "Morning Omi-kun" you greeted him. "Stop calling me that" he replied. You ignored him and started spraying down your desk.

You made light conversation with Sakusa before the class filled up and the teacher came in and started class.

"We'll be starting a project today, everyone choose a partner and after that there's no switching" the teacher said. All the girls basically ran over to Sakusa's desk only to be ignored by him. You even had a few boys approaching you but you knew it was only because they knew you were smart.

That bully girl from yesterday stomped over and pushed all the girls away from Sakusa. "Back off, I'm his partner" she declared. Sakusa only glared at her. "No" he said firmly.
"Oh? Who's your partner then?" She asked.
"Y/n." He said making all the girls glare at me.

"Oh? Omi-kun wants to do the project with yours truly? I'm so honoured" you exaggerated. He scoffed, turning his seat around to face you.

The rest of the class found partners and settled down quietly. The teacher explained the project was about anything Science related and that you had 3 weeks to finish it. You and Sakusa discussed your topics and agreed to base it on the spread of germs.

Class ended and you and Sakusa headed for the rooftop but this time someone called out to him. "Sakusaaa, don't even think about ditching me again" the familiar brown haired boy called, running up to you.

He saw you standing beside Sakusa and smirked. "Oh, I didn't know you had a girlfriend Sakusa. We're family, you should have said something" the boy said. Sakusa scoffed but weirdly didn't say anything.
"We're not dating" you say quickly, worried he'd get the wrong idea.

"Im y/n l/n. Nice to meet you" you smile at him. His eyes widen. "The y/n, l/n??? Oh my god Sakusa wouldn't stop talking about you when he was-" his sentence was cut off by a swift kick. "Shut the fuck up" Sakusa hissed making you laugh. "You talked about me Omi?? I'm so honoured" you laughed. He looked away, a tinge of red on his cheeks.

"Whatever, I'm going to eat" he stated, heading for the stairs.

You and the boy you learned to be Komori Motoya, Sakusa's cousin followed him up to the rooftop. You made conversation with Komori, mostly making fun of Sakusa much to his annoyance. "Woah so you tied 9-9 with Sakusa in a game?" he said incredulously. You nodded. "Though I'm sure he wasn't playing seriously. He wasn't even tired at the end" you whined.

You learned that Komori was the #1 libero in Japan and a regular on the team. "Speaking of teams, training starts next week" you say to yourself. "You on the girls team?" Komori asked. You nodded. "I'm here on a volleyball scholarship."
"That's impressive" Komori said, eyeing you up and down.

The bell rang signalling the end of break and you said bye to Komori, heading to the last class with Sakusa. Class went by normally, nothing happening worth mentioning and before you knew it school was over. You left school with Sakusa, walking in a comfortable silence.

"When should we start working on the project" you asked him. He pondered it for a few moments. "We should get it done before volleyball starts, so should we do it during the week and if we're not finished the weekend?" he suggested.

You nodded in agreement. "We can start today but I have to go at 6.00" you said. Sakusa raised his eyebrows. "Where are you going?" he asked. "Running, then some training".

"Oh" he said. "Can I join you?" His request was unexpected but definitely welcome. "If you can keep up" you teased. "I found this volleyball gymnasium around 20 minutes away, I'm gonna start training there with my spare time. If you're gonna come then bring some form of ID".

He nodded and you kept on walking. "Who's house are we doing this at" you asked. He shrugged. "Kay, then let's go to yours" you said simply. His eyes narrowed. "Why?"
"Cos I wanna see your room, you saw mine after all". He sighed, in defeat. "Fair enough."
You texted your mom informing that you'd be with Sakusa and she said it was okay.

Stepping into Sakusa's house you smelled the familiar scent of bleach and lavender. It tickled your nose in the nicest way and you smiled as you saw his older sister sitting in the living room. (He does have an older brother and sister but they're unnamed so I'm making them up). "Himari-san!" She looked up and was slightly confused until she realised who you were. "Y/n?? Oh my god you're back" she laughed, hugging you tightly.

"I missed you" you whined. The entire family were germaphobes though Sakusa was definitely the most adamant about it.

"Jeez you grew tall" she said in awe. "Gorgeous too, make sure you fall for someone better than Kiyoomi, he's an asshole" she said making you laugh and Sakusa scoff. "We're just friends" you assure her. Just as you say that Sakusa's older brother walks downstairs. "Y/n?!" he says incredulously. "The legend is here, in the flesh" you say, posing making them both laugh.
"God, why are you both here" Sakusa groaned. "We came to visit our cute little brother of course" Kai (brother) said teasingly.

(Himari is 19 and Kai is 22).

Sakusa looked pissed off and he glared at Kai. "I'm literally taller than you, you're the little brother now" Sakusa said making you and Himari burst out laughing. "Hey, you stole my height you asshole" Kai protested. He wasn't short by any means, standing at about 5'10, Sakusa was just bigger.

"We gotta go work on a school project" you say to the two and head upstairs with Sakusa.
As soon as you two were out of earshot the two siblings started whispering.

"Hey Kai... how long until they end up dating??" Himari said.
He pondered for a minute before answering. "A month."
Himari hummed. "I'd say about 3". Kai raised his eyebrows. "That long?"
Himari rolled her eyes. "You know how Kiyoomi is."
"True" Kai chuckled.
