It was a normal Saturday practice at Fukurodani Academy. Most members were already in the gym, talking amongst themselves and warming up. Akaashi walked into the gym and did his normal warm-up routine before talking with Konoha and Washio.

“Bokuto’s running late,” Konoha pointed out.

“It’s unusual,” Akaashi said, “He’s usually the first one here,”

“Hey hey hey!” speaking of the devil, “Sorry I’m late!”

Bokuto walked in with something, or rather, someone in his arms. The entire team stared at him with concern and confusion.

“Everyone, meet baby-owl!” Bokuto introduced baby-owl to the team.

‘Baby… Owl?’ everyone tilted their heads at this.

“Bokuto,” Yamiji, their coach, walked up to him, “Who is this?”

“This is my baby sister, (F/n),” Bokuto said proudly.

(F/n) was an exact copy-paste of Bokuto. Her hair was shoulder-length and had black and grey stripes. She was wearing a black headband that separated her bands from her other hair. She sported a light blue sweater, black pants, and white shoes. She was also wearing her owl-themed backpack.

“Well hello there, (F/n),” Yamiji smiled, “Bokuto, may I have a word?”

Bokuto nodded and brought (F/n) over to Akaashi, “(F/n), you remember Akaashi right?”

“Kaashi-owl!” (F/n) put her hands out, wanting Akaashi to carry her.

Akaashi felt his cheeks heat up, slightly embarrassed by the nickname (F/n) had for him, and Bokuto gave (F/n) to Akaashi.

“Hi (F/n),” Akaashi greeted.

(F/n) smiled and kissed his cheek, “I missed you!”

Akaashi smiled slightly at the girls' affection, “I missed you too,”

“Can we say hi?” Konoha and Kaori asked.

“Of course,” Akaashi went around with (F/n) and introduced the entire team to her.

-

“Why did you bring her to practice?” Yamiji asked.

“My parents had an emergency,” Bokuto explained, “My sisters don’t live near us anymore so it’s just me,”

“I see,” Yamiji wasn’t sure of the situation.

“I promise she’s an easy kid,” Bokuto pleased, “She’s never really cried or thrown a tantrum before,”

Yamiji looked at Bokuto’s pleading eyes and sighed, “Alright, it’s not like I can send her home or anything,”

Bokuto bowed, “Thank you so much!” he smiled, “I promise you won’t regret this,”

While him and Bokuto went back to the gym, Yamiji thought about one thing.

'I wonder if she has an emo-mode,'

Kaori and Yukie kept watch of (F/n) while also watching the boys play. Yukie explained to (F/n) everything that the boys were doing and (F/n) was getting fired up.

“Your brother is the ace,” Yukie explained, “He’s the one that tends to spike the ball the most,”

“Ace,” (F/n) repeated.

“Yep,” Yukie nodded, “And Akaashi is the setter. He determines who the ball goes to,”

“Setter,” (F/n) repeated.

“Komi is the libero,” Yukie pointed at Komi who was wearing a different color jersey, “He makes sure the ball doesn’t hit the ground,”

“Libero,”

Kaori watched in amusement, “She seems to be understanding this quite well,”

“She’s really smart,” Yukie agreed.

“AKAASHI!” Bokuto yelled, “Send it to me!”

Akaashi did what he was told and sent the ball to Bokuto.

“See those three?” Yukie pointed out, “They are middle blockers, they try to stop the spiker from spiking the ball,”

As Yukie said, Bokuto did his famous line shot and avoided the blockers. (F/n)’s eyes widnend in shock.

“Yeah! Hey Hey Hey!” Bokuto cheered.

(F/n) turned to Yukie and jumped up and down, “I want to do that!”

Bokuto heard her and cheered, “I can teach you baby-owl!”

The entire team looked at Bokuto as they all thought, ‘This should be interesting,’

-

“So,” Bokuto bent down to somewhat match (F/n)’s height, “This only happens when you’re cornered but when there are three blockers and you’re right at the edge of the court, you want to wait for the ball to come at the very end and then you hit it,”

(F/n) stared blankly at Bokuto before she blinked in confusion.

The entire team predicted this and mentally sighed.

“I think she needs to know how to hit the ball first, Bokuto-san,” Akaashi gently told him. Yukie handed Akaashi a volleyball and Akaashi went up to the sibling duo, “Here, I’m going to hold the volleyball out and I want you to slap it with all your might,”

(F/n) waited for Akaashi to hold the volleyball out in front of her and when he did, she spiked it as hard as she could.

“Woohoo!”

The entire team and even Yamiji cheered for (F/n).

“I did it!” (F/n) happily jumped.

“Good job baby-owl!” Bokuto cheered.

“Alright, let’s do that again,” Akaashi instructed and (F/n) managed to hit five more volleyballs before she got tired.

“I’m tired,” (F/n) huffed.

“That’s okay” Bokuto chuckled, “We can practice more later,”

“Okay!” (F/n) nodded furiously.

And just like that, the team went back to practicing while (F/n) stayed with Yukie and Kaori, learning more volleyball terms.

“(F/n), did you have fun today?” Bokuto asked while he was carrying (F/n) on his back as him and Akaashi walked home.

“I did!” (F/n) said, “I can spike a ball now,”

Akaashi smiled, “Well, sort of,”

Bokuto chuckled, “One day, you’ll be an amazing player like me!”

(F/n) nodded before she yawned.
“Someone’s getting tired,” Akaashi pointed out.

It didn’t take long for (F/n) to fall asleep after Akaashi’s words.

“Do you think coach will let me bring her to the training camp this summer?” Bokuto asked Akaashi.

Akaashi shrugged, “I’m not sure,” he thought about it, “I think his main concern would be if she got lost since we will be somewhere unfamiliar to her and there will be a lot of people there,”

“That’s why she’ll have us to protect her,” Bokuto reasoned.

“I guess that’s true,” Akaashi understood what he meant, “I can help you convince coach if you need me too,”

Bokuto’s face lit up, “Really?”

Akaashi nodded, “Of course,”

“Thank you so much!” Bokuto felt more confident about bringing (F/n) to the training camp, “I’m sure (F/n) would be really happy if we brought her,”

Akaashi offered a small smile before he said goodbye to Bokuto and turned to his street, walking the rest of the way home by himself.

“You hear that (F/n),” Bokuto talked to (F/n) while she was sleeping, “You might be able to come with us to the training camp this summer,” he smiled, “I’m sure you’ll have lots of fun,”

If only Bokuto knew just how right he would be.
