It's nearly time for the match against Aoba Johsai. It's the third time the team were facing them this year and it would be a huge lie if I said I wasn't really nervous. They won against a team called Wakutani? I think? Yesterday, and it was a really intense match, especially when Daichi got injured...I helped take him to the infirmary and he could tell I was worried because he spent the whole time we were in there trying to cheer me up again. It should of been the other way around, he was the injured one so why was he helping me? It's just his nature I guess which is why everyone on the team sees him as being so wise and mature, I've grown up with him and he isn't as mature as everyone thinks. You laugh to yourself quietly but manage to catch the attention of the pair around you.

"What's so funny Y/n-Chan?" Tanaka asks as he draws out the 'chan' teasingly.

You cough into your hand and look at him. "Nothing important Tanaka-san!" You assure him.

"Why don't you ever call me senpai?" He whines and looks at you with puppy dog eyes, you can't help but chuckle slightly at this. "What makes shorty so special?" He gestures to Nishinoya.

"PUT A CAP ON IT BALDY!" Nishinoya retorts, adding more fuel to the flame to the point where the pair are staring each other dead in the eyes and growling occasionally. They're acting like wild animals.

You zip up the jacket you had on, which was Nishinoya's, and tap both of their shoulders. Their faces relax and they smile as the turn to you. "I think your match is about to start" you point at the team and everything looks normal.

"What makes you say that?" Tanaka asks.

"Because Kageyama-kun is glaring at the other team captain, Yamaguchi-kun and Yachi-chan are pacing back and forth and finally Koushi is slapping Asahi to presumably try and get rid of his nerves" they both stare at you in bewilderment but you just shrug it off and skip over to Koushi. Burying half of your face in the collar of the jacket to hide from any inquisitive eyes. When you get closer you slow down and creep behind your brother, you listen out for him.

"Negativity..." he pulls his arm back to build up power and just as he swats Asahi's side you jump on his back and wrap your arms around his neck. In unison you both say "BEGONE!" You both picked up this habit when you were younger from your mother but you took the less violent route. Mainly because of your lack of confidence to actually hit anyone but also just because it felt wrong to hit someone. I know I'm not very strong but I still don't know my own strength nor do I know the limits of the person I'm trying to calm down. "When did you get here Y/n?" Koushi chuckles and gently placing you back on the ground. You give him a quick side hug before hugging Asahi as he was rubbing his side. Koushi's been playing volleyball for years so that must've really hurt, but then again Asahi is the Ace so it would probably hurt even more if he hit someone.

"Just now, I wanted to wish you all good luck before it started" your brother looks taken aback for a second but shakes his head to snap out of it. He pats your head knowing that it irks you.

"Thank you Y/n it means a lot!" He smiles but is startled when the whistle blows. He looks frantically between you and the whistle and you just smile at him.

"I'm counting on you all" you say before sprinting away, it took a whole lot more energy than you thought it would to say that but you were extremely glad that you did. If they don't win now I'll probably look like even more of an idiot! But little did you know that this just sparked the teams need to win even more. They took every word of encouragement you said and cherished it, knowing that it would determine if they had the willpower to go on or not and sure enough, they were going to win. They had to, for themselves, for you and to prove those who call them 'flightless crows' wrong.

Come on! Come on! It was currently the third set and the scores were 25-24 in Karasuno's favour. A rally was going on right now, each teams defence and reflexes were as sharp as ever and neither of them showed any signs of backing down. But someone had to win the game eventually. The ball nearly fell to the floor on the other side of the net but one of Aoba Johsai's opposite hitters made contact with his forearm and sent the ball back over to your schools side.

Before you could even process what was happening Hinata ran up to the net and spiked with all of his power, you had a flash of false hope as you saw the other team captain in the perfect position to receive the ball but he was a split second behind and it bounced off of his arms before landing outside of the court. The room was silent, at least before the whole team and the people in the stands erupted into cheers and claps. You waited for everyone to get off of the court before running down to properly congratulate them.

"Congrats Koushi!" You bear hug your brother and he gratefully returns the gesture by wrapping his arms around you. Due to your eyes being able to see over his shoulders you see some girls from the other school still in the stands giving you dirty looks and visibly talking about either you or the team. Your nerves cause your body to act automatically as you hide your face in the jacket again. It was warm and made you feel secure which was strange, it wasn't easy to find something to ease your nerves as quick as the jacket did. Was it the scent or the material itself? Or did it all link back to the reason that the clothing item was given to you? Nishinoya had seen that you were quite cold earlier so he offered it to you. It was more of him insisting than offering but after a couple back and forth points between you both you gave in, and secretly you were glad you did. But he doesn't need to know that.

"Hey Angel where's my hug?" Speak of the devil! You turn around but don't realise that you are hiding your wide grin. "We need to sort this out first" he unzips the jacket until it reaches your neck and folds down the collar. "Much better!" He puts his hands on his hips and his body language practically screams just about how proud of himself he is.

You pull your hands out of the sleeves. "Why did you do that?" You ask quietly, now being unaware if the girls are still watching you because your back is to them.

He ruffles some of your hair and chuckles. "I wanted to see your cute smile of course! What other reason is there?" Your face flushed slightly at this but luckily Tanaka came over and distracted Nishinoya before he could say anything.

Daichi walks over and leans on your shoulder. "Thanks for coming to watch us Y/n, your support really played a part in the outcome of this match" you told him that it wasn't you it was just how far the team have come individually and as a group as well.

After everyone had showered and changed their clothes you all went out for a meal to celebrate but to also make sure everyone was well fed. Their next match would be their biggest yet and would determine if they get the place to represent the prefecture at Nationals or not, but you had faith in them. You knew they could do it but that doesn't mean a dark cloud of doubt wasn't hovering over you. Calm down Y/n...they're going to win, they are so strong as a team now they've got to win...
