“You have very pretty hair (F/n),” Yachi said as she played with (F/n)’s black and grey locks.

“Thank you,” (F/n) replied as she sifted through Kiyoko’s volleyball notes.

(F/n) was on Karasuno’s side while they held a match against Karasuno High. She sat in Yachi’s lap and held one of Kiyoko’s notebooks. Takumi was by Fukurodani’s court. He was sitting on Kaori’s lap while Yukie was commenting on the match like a sports commentator. Takumi was listening but was too focused on staring at (F/n). (F/n) could feel his eyes on her and looked at him. Takumi’s face flushed and (F/n) scrunched her face up before turning away.

Yukie noticed this and smirked.

“Neh, Takumi?” Yukie looked at him, “You seem to have taken a liking to (F/n)~”

Takumi puffed out his cheeks in embarrassment and turned away, “No,”

Kaori jumped in and pinched his cheeks, “Aww, you do~”

Takumi swatted her hands away in defense.

Yukie giggled, “What do you like about her?”

Takumi glanced over at (F/n) who was giving Kiyoko the notebook she had while Kiyoko gave her the notebook she was using in exchange, “She’s very pretty… and she’s nice,”

“Aww,” Yukie smiled, “You should ask her to be your girlfriend,”

Bokuto heard this and his head snapped 180 degrees toward their direction. He could see it all over Takumi’s face that he was indeed, madly in love with his little sister. He envisioned scenarios of (F/n) and Takumi being older and eventually dating and getting married. While a part of him did want (F/n) to find someone to love (obviously they would have to be approved by Bokuto, Akaashi, and their sisters), he felt sad that it was all happening too soon. While the other team Fukurodani was going against gained another point, Bokuto’s hair started to go down. A frown crept on his face and his shoulders drooped.

“Bokuto-san?” Akaashi looked at him with confusion (and anticipation), “Is everything alright?”

“Everything’s fine!” Bokuto snapped his head back and waved it off, “Let’s go,”

The match continued on but it was obvious that Bokuto wasn’t his normal self. Both teams could see that. They continued the match and Fukurodani managed to get a point, meaning that Bokuto would be serving next. Bokuto stood behind the line and got ready to serve. He threw the ball, ran a couple of steps, and smacked it, only for the ball to fly straight to the net.

“Ahhh,” Bokuto wept as he placed his hands in his hair in frustration.

“It’s okay Bokuto-san,” Akaashi could recognize the signs, “You’ll get the next one,”

Kageyama was the next one to serve for Karasuno and he did his normal yet powerful jump serve. Fukurodani picked it up but it went over to Karasuno’s side, giving them a chance ball. Noya dug the ball up and Kageyama and Hinata did their normal quick attack. Bokuto reached to dig it up but missed.

Akaashi knew there were two ways of trying to delay Bokuto’s emo mode so he looked at the coach who nodded and signaled a time-out. Fukurodani gathered around while Yukie handed everyone some water bottles. Takumi sat with Kaori and watched.

“Although it’s a tough battle, we cannot be distracted by Karasuno’s changing tactics,” Akaashi explained, “Don’t let their attacks faze us,”

“All right!” most of the team responded.

“Bokuto-san, are you listening?” Akaashi asked as noticed he was quiet.

Bokuto was drinking his water angrily, “Of course I am!” he gave the bottle to Yukie and walked off angrily, “All right, let’s do this!”

The team watched him walk away.

Yukie looked at Akaashi, “Could he be…?”

Akaashi sighed, already knowing what was to come.

(F/n) watched as her brother’s mood changed. She could somewhat feel that he was getting upset, which in turn, made her start to feel upset. Yachi noticed this and asked if (F/n) was alright. She nodded her head, but her face differed.

In the next round, Noya wasn’t able to dig up the ball, so the point went to Fukurodani.

“All right, I’ll use my serve to widen the point difference,” Bokuto shouted as he grabbed the ball.

“Nice serve, Bokuto!” one of their team members shouted.

“Calm down, Bokuto-san,” Akaashi reminded him.

“I’m very calm!” Bokuto shouted, which was the opposite action of being calm.

“Oh no, he’s getting agitated,” coach Yamiji stated the obvious.

“All right, let’s do this!” Bokuto shouted as he threw the ball up, ran, and smacked it. Like repetition in history, the ball went straight to the net, nearly missing Konoha.

Bokuto cried in frustration as he dropped to his knees and tangled his hands in his hair.

“Calm down first,” one of the team members tried consoling him.

“Don’t mind that,” Akaashi aided.

Now it was Karasuno’s turn to serve. Tanaka served the ball, nearly making the ball go out of bounds but Bokuto was the one that dug it up.

“Give the ball to me,” Bokuto shouted at Akaashi, “I’ll end this in one hit!”

Akaashi, with his fast thinking, conjured up three scenarios that were to happen depending on his actions. If we were to toss the ball to Bokuto while he was agitated, either they would score as usual, Bokuto would make a mistake and get blocked, making him worse than what he is now, or if the ball doesn’t get tossed to him he would become uncooperative. Realizing that the last scenario would be harder to deal with, Akaashi bit the bullet and tossed it to Bokuto.

When Bokuto spiked it, Karasuno’s triple block managed to block it but Komi managed to receive it. Bokuto yelled at Akaashi to toss it to him again, which he did. This time, although it looked like the ball was killed by Karasuno’s triple block, it actually hit the top of the net, making it Bokuto’s fault.

Bokuto panted while looking down. Konoha, Komi, Sarukui, and the rest of the team instantly knew that Boktuo was about to enter his emo mode, despite the situation being faster than normal.

‘Here it comes,’ Akaashi thought to himself.

“Akasshi…” Bokuto started as he brought his hand up and threw up back, “Don’t toss to me anymore today,”

‘There it is,’ everyone thought, ‘Bokuto’s emotional mode,’

“Understood,” Akaashi said, unfazed by the entire thing.

(F/n) frowned, readily feeling the effects of her brother’s emo mode. Yachi looked at her with confusion.

“Are you okay (F/n)?” she asked the girl.

(F/n) shook her head and tried to get down from sitting on Yachi’s lap.

“Hold on,” Yachi said as she let (F/n) down.

(F/n) huffed and walked away from Karasuno’s court and escaped through the back door that was open.

Takumi saw what had happened and asked Kaori to put him down. Kaori agreed and Takumi walked past Karasuno’s court and out the back door as well.

‘What a Knight in shining armor,’ Kaori thought to herself.

(F/n) was sitting on the concrete with her knees hugging her chest. There were some flowers (that were actually weeds) that grew on the side where the concrete met the grass. Takumi saw her and walked up to her.

“(F/n)?” Takumi called out gently.

(F/n) looked at him with a frown.

Takumi blinked, “What’s wrong?”

(F/n) shook her head and turned away, resting her chin atop her knees.
Takumi moved and sat next to her, mimicking her actions.

They both sat in silence, feeling the cool breeze blow through while the scorching sun was beating down on them Takumi felt the flowers tickle his legs. His head perked up as he got an idea. He sat crisscrossed and started plucking the flowers out of the ground. (F/n) turned her head and watched him. Once he gathered enough flowers, he got up and walked over to one of the viny trees that was off in the distance. He walked around the three before he bent down and grabbed one of the vines that had fallen. He then sat on the ground underneath the tree and started to make something.

(F/n)’s eyebrows furrowed as she watched him for a while but got bored and went back to sulking. She zoned out a bit before she realized the sun had gone away. She picked her head up and saw that Takumi was standing over her, blocking the sun. She then saw him move and then felt something on her head. She looked up and grabbed what he had put on her head.

It was a flower crown.

She looked at him confused.

“It’s a flower crown,” Takumi said, his cheeks flushed and his fingers fidgeting behind his back.

(F/n) felt a smile creep on her face as she placed the flower crown back on her head, “For me? Why”

“B-because you’re my queen,” Takumi stuttered out as he avoided eye contact.
