It was the day of the MSBY Black Jackals and Schweiden Adlers volleyball game. What was special about this match was the players on either team. The Adlers had Ushijima Wakatoshi, Hoshiumi Kourai, and Kageyama Tobio. The MSBY Black Jackals had Sakusa Kiyoomi, Miya Atsumu, Hinata Shouyou, and Bokuto Koutarou. The long-awaited battle between Hinata and Kageyama was about to take place.

-

“Keep holding her hand Takumi!” Akaashi reminded Takumi as he watched (F/n) drag Takumi to the many vendors outside the stadium.

“As if he’d ever let go,” Kuroo remarked, knowing his little brother.

Akaashi sighed, “I guess that’s fair,”

Kuroo breathed in the air, “Feels nostalgic, doesn’t it?”

Akaashi nodded in agreement, “It does,”

Kuroo smirked, “So, who do you think will win?”

Akaashi thought about it while keeping an eye on (F/n) and Takumi, “I’m not sure. I have my hopes for the MSBY Black Jackals, but who knows,”

Kuroo hummed, “I agree. It will be interesting to see the shrimp and Kageyama on separate teams,”

Akaashi agreed with him while scanning the area for (F/n) and Takumi. He saw the familiar shirt that (F/n) was wearing, which was Bokuto’s old ace shirt that she wore on top of a black long sleeve. She paired it with some black jeans and white shoes. Takumi was wearing a simple red sweater with black pants and white shoes. (F/n)’s hair wasn’t styled at first, but Takumi tied the top half up to keep some of (F/n)’s hair out of her face when they were in the car on the way to the stadium.

“Takumi look!” (F/n) pointed to the vendor, “They’re selling this shirt!”

Takumi looked at the shirts that the vendor was selling and then looked at the shirt (F/n) was wearing, “Huh, they are selling your shirt,”

(F/n) giggled, “It’s my brothers,”

Takumi nodded, “Didn’t he wear it at the training camp where we met?”

(F/n) nodded, “I think so,”

“Alright you guys,” Kuroo clapped his hands as he and Akaashi walked up behind them, “You two ready to watch some volleyball?”

“I am!” (F/n) exclaimed excitedly.

Takumi nodded, “Me too,”

“Come on,” Akaashi ushered them toward the entrance, “Let’s find our seats,”

━━━━━━━ ★ ━━━━━━━

Bokuto smiled at the picture that Akaashi had sent of Takumi and (F/n) holding hands, looking at all the volleyball merchandise. He had missed (F/n) dearly and today was going to be the first time in a long while that he’ll be reunited with his baby sister.

“Alright party people,” Atsumu clapped his hands, “Time to put your game faces on,”

Hinata jumped up happily, “I’m ready! I can’t wait to finally show Kageyama that I can be strong without him,”

Sakusa sighed, “Simpleton,”

Bokuto chuckled as he turned his phone off and placed it in his volleyball bag.

“Yeah, what’s wrong Bokuto-san?” Hinata asked.

Bokuto shook his head, “Nothing,”

Sakusa answered the question for him, “He’s nervous because (F/n) is watching and he hasn’t seen her in a long while,”

Bokuto huffed, “Really?”

“Aww,” Hinata patted him on the back, “Don’t worry. We will win this and you will be reunited with (F/n)!”

Atsumu nodded, “Shouyou’s right, we will win this game,”

Bokuto felt himself getting excited, “For baby owl?”

Hinata and Atsumu chucked but nodded, “For baby owl,”

━━━━━━━ ★ ━━━━━━━

Takumi placed the noise-canceling headphones on (F/n)’s head since she was feeling overwhelmed by the constant noise and yelling. Once they were on, he fixed some of the stray hairs so that they weren’t bothering her. (F/n) thanked him before she sat on the chair, looking around at the scene in front of her.

Akaashi and Kuroo shared a look before turning their attention to the court.

The Schweiden Adlers came out first and (F/n) could see a good chunk of people cheering for them. Akaashi and Kuroo clapped their hands since they had people they knew on the team. Kuroo looked at Ushijima and hummed, “Is it me, or did Ushijima get bigger?”

Akaashi nodded, “He definitely gained a lot of muscle,”

After a couple of minutes, the MSBY Black Jackals came out, which earned major cheering from the rest of the people in the stadium. (F/n) and Takumi clapped alongside Akaashi and Kuroo. (F/n) moved to stand up in the chair and Takumi stood too to make sure she didn’t fall. Kuroo and Akaashi sweatdropped at how fast the two kids moved as they didn’t have time to process the situation and ready themselves in case one of them were to fall.

Bokuto scanned the stadium audience, wondering if he could potentially spot (F/n) through the crowds of people. When the cheering died down, (F/n) knew it was her chance to get her older brother’s attention.

“Brother owl!”

(F/n) yelled as loudly as she could. Like an owl, his head whipped around and he immediately saw where (F/n) was. She was waving her hands around and Bokuto smiled.

“Baby owl!” he waved his hands and yelled for her. Akaashi, Kuroo, and Takumi joined in and Hinata and Atsumu joined in, waving at the four of them.

Everyone watched at the wholesome moment before they all settled down for the game to finally begin.

-

The entire Karasuno team along with all of HInata’s acquaintances were circling the railing that oversaw the court. Akaashi held up (F/n) so that she could see what was going on. Kuroo did the same for Takumi.

The game itself was getting intense. It was the last set and whoever won this set determines the win for the day. (F/n) kept cheering for her brother and the Black Jackals. Bokuto looked up and saw (F/n) clapping her hands, cheering for him. He wanted to do something to make (F/n) proud (even though (F/n) was proud of her brother no matter what he did) so when it was their team's turn to serve, he shot Atsumu a look that gave Atsumu the signal to set to him when he thought it was best. After a couple of hits back and forth between the teams, it was now Bokuto’s time to shine. Atsumu jumped up to set the ball and Bokuto got into position. He ran, jumped up, and when Atsumu set the ball, he spiked it as hard as he could, winning a point for their team.

(F/n), upon seeing this beautiful spike, cheered loudly.

“Did you see that Kaashi-owl?!” she squirmed happily in Akaashi’s arms, “That was so cool!”

Akaashi tried to keep the girl from falling out of his arms, “It was,” he agreed.

“Nii-chan,” Takumi looked at his older brother, “Do you think I can do that one day?”

Kuroo thought about it, “If you work hard, maybe you will,”

Takumi’s eyes lit up, “Really?”

Kuroo nodded, “Of course. Bokuto worked very hard and see where that got him?”

Takumi nodded and continued watching the game with a new perspective and goal in mind.

‘Become the greatest Ace there is,’

━━━━━━━ ★ ━━━━━━━

Baby owl. Baby owl. Baby owl.

Koutarou chanted in his head while walking past the crowds of people to the location where Akaashi had told him they were currently waiting. His eyes scanned everywhere for (F/n) and once he got past the crows and major vendors, he saw the four of them by the steps of the stadium.

“Baby owl!” Koutarou yelled.
(F/n) was facing Takumi at the moment, turned around with a big smile, “Brother owl!”

(F/n) and Koutarou ran up to each other and (F/n) jumped into his arms. Bokuto was surprised at the height (F/n) jumped up at but pushed that aside. His big arms wrapped around his baby sister’s frame and he cheered, “I missed you!”

(F/n) buried her face in his neck, “I missed you too!”

Akaashi smiled at the two. Kuroo eyed him and smirked a little. Takumi, somewhat now emitting jealousy, huffed but was still happy since (F/n) was happy. Kuroo could feel the tiny jealous aura that Takumi unknowingly emitted and ruffled his hair.

“Did you see my spike baby owl?” Koutarou asked, holding (F/n) with one arm.

(F/n) nodded, “I did! It was so cool! Can you teach me how to do that?”

Koutarou beamed in pride, “Of course I can!”

Koutarou walked up to the trio and smiled, “Hey Hey Hey! How did you think of that match?”

Kuroo had a smirk on his face, “Wouldn’t expect anything less,”

Koutarou smirked back, “Good,”

Akaashi internally rolled his eyes at the two, “You played well, Bokuto-san,”

Koutarou smiled, “Thank you, Akaashi,”

Koutarou then looked down at Takumi, who was staring at him with wide eyes. Koutarou squinted at him before handing (F/n) to Akaashi. Akaashi and (F/n) looked at one another confused but watched the scene unfold.

Koutarou crossed his arms and kept his gaze hard on Takumi.

“Did you protect and take care of baby owl like you promised?” he asked sternly.

Takumi straightened out his position and nodded, “I did,”

Koutarou looked at (F/n), who nodded in confirmation.

Koutarou hummed before kneeling down, resting on one knee, “Listen, kid,” he placed a hand on Takumi’s shoulder, “I have a couple more seasons of volleyball left, which means I will be leaving once again. (F/n) is in your full care until I come back, alright?”

Takumi nodded.

“Take care of her for me,” Koutarou squeezed Takumi’s shoulder gently, “Or else,”

“I will do whatever it takes,” Takumi promised.

Kuroo rolled his eyes at the dramatic scene, “Alright, wrap it up,”

“I’m hungry!” (F/n) expressed as her stomach growled.

“I second that,” Akaashi added, “Where should we eat?”

“Are you joining?” Kuroo asked, “Don’t you have to celebrate with your team?”

“Nah,” Koutarou shook his head, “I spend enough time with them anyway,” Koutarou then turned to (F/n), “Where would you like to eat, baby owl?”

(F/n) pursed her lips out and tapped her chin with her finger, “BBQ?”

Koutarou’s mouth watered upon hearing her suggestion, “KBBQ it is!”

━━━━━━━ ★ ━━━━━━━

“You have to fry it like this,” Takumi instructed (F/n) while holding the piece of meat up with the tongs and placing it flat on the grill. (F/n) watched him intently. After a couple of minutes, the meat was cooked on one side and Takumi turned it over, “Then you have to turn it over,”

Kuroo, Akaashi, and Koutarou watched in amusement. Koutarou sighed, already envisioning that this moment mirrors what (F/n) and Takumi’s life would be like in the future when they are adults.

Once the meat was done, Takumi took the piece of meat and placed it on (F/n)’s small plate. He placed the tongs on the holding before grabbing some kimchi from the tray of side dishes and placing it on top. He then grabbed some rice with his chopsticks before gesturing for (F/n) to eat the combination. (F/n) carefully lifted the food combination with her chopsticks and ate it. She made a noise of satisfaction and smiled.

“So good!” she said with her mouth full, enjoying the wondering burst of many different flavors in her mouth.

Takumi smiled and felt proud knowing that (F/n) liked what he cooked.

“Where did he learn all that?” Koutarou asked.

“He watched my mom cook a lot,” Kuroo explained, “He’s been into cooking since he was little,”

“That’s good,” Akaashi nodded in approval, “It’s a great skill to have,”

Koutarou fed himself the meat that Akaashi had finished frying with some rice. He watched as Takumi kept teaching (F/n) what to do and letting (F/n) try it out after his explanations. He could see the happiness and contentment on her face while being with Takumi. Sure, they were still very young and one could call it childhood innocence and friendship. But Koutarou could see the look Takumi would give to (F/n) and could see the look (F/n) would give Takumi.

It was pure love.
