"Hey, I don't know if Coach Nekomata told you already but we're going to be going to the training camp for the summer." Kuroo says, walking beside you.

You felt the cool night breeze hitting your skin. Shivers tickling up your spine."Yeah he told me." You look down, staring at the concrete beneath you with each step you took.

"Aren't you excited?" Your brother asks.

"For what?"

He nudges your shoulder, "Bokuto will be there. You'll get to see him everyday~..."

Your eyes meet his at the mention of the owl head. "Of course I'm excited..."

Kuroo stares at you and hums. "Ah, I get it." Your thoughts were interrupted when he abruptly starts laughing. "You're nervous aren't you?" He smirks.

"I don't know what you're talking about. I'm always nervous." You murmur and avoid his gaze.

He chuckles. "Don't worry sis, we still got a few days left until camp starts!" Kuroo exclaims, in attempt to lighten up your mood.

"A few days is gonna go by quickly!" You whine.

And you were right. Few days passed and the first day at the training camp had begun. Nekoma, Fukurodani, Shinzen, Ubugawa and even Karasuno met up at the gymnasium.

As Nekoma entered the gym, you frantically looked around. Growing anxious you hide behind Lev. "So many boys..." You quietly whimper, grabbing onto Lev's elbow.

Upon feeling his arm being tugged down, Lev looks down at you. He pats your head and smiles, "It's okay, Y/n. Hopefully there's some female managers to make you feel better."

You follow behind him as the team walks over to the corner of the gym to settle down. Kuroo noticing you, he walks over to break your hold on Lev. "She's gonna be fine. No need to have her following you like a little puppy." Kuroo tells Lev.

"I was just trying to comfort her," Lev remarks.

You lightly glare at Kuroo. "Tetsu, this will be my first time at the camp and being surrounded by triple the amount of boys I'm used to seeing everyday after school. Please understand how I may feel..." You mumble the last part out for him.

He sighs with closed eyes as he pinches the bridge of his nose. "I get that, but that doesn't mean you have to cling onto every guy's arm as if they were your protector-"

"She's gone." Yaku interrupts Kuroo.

Kuroo's eyes shoot open. Noticing you're not in his line of vision he frantically looks around the gym. He rubs the nape of his neck and turns to Yaku, "Did she say where she was going?"

"She mumbled what I believe that she was heading to find the restroom." The short boy responds by pointing his finger towards the double doors at the end of the gym.

"Shit," Kuroo cursed under his breath. "As long as she doesn't bump into any guys I think she'll be fine."

You enter the girls' restroom and walk over to the sink. Turning on the faucet you splash water onto your face to calm down your nerves and the sweat slowly forming on your forehead.

"Gosh," you mutter. "I hate life."

You stare at your reflection. Then you widen your eyes upon realization, "I'm gonna see Bokuto!" You cup your face with your hands, feeling nervous. "I haven't spoken to him since our study 'date'. What am I gonna tell him?!"

Your thoughts were interrupted with the creak of a door opening. Looking up at the mirror you see two girls walk in. A tall one with the silkiest black hair and eyes decorated with her glasses. The one standing next to her was shorter with blond hair and bright brown eyes.

You freeze up as they stare at you. You instantly begin to panic and you turn to face them straightening up your back.

"H..Hi!" You abruptly shout.

The girl with glasses smiles at you which makes your stomach drop nervously. "Hey," she responds with the most gentle tone you've ever heard.

The shorter girl waves at you, "Hello! Are you also the manager of one of the teams?"

You rub your neck and mentally tell yourself to breathe in and out just like Bokuto had told you to do when interacting with strangers. "Y..yes! I'm with Nekoma.."

"You must be their new manager considering they haven't had one in a long time." The girl with glasses observes. "I'm Kiyoko and this is Yachi. We're the managers of Karasuno." She smiles and they both bow.

"It's nice to meet you!" The blonde says.

You bow back, "My name is Kuroo Y/n but just call me Y/n."

Kiyoko hums, "Do you happen to be related to the captain of Nekoma?"

You hesitantly nod. Mentally pleading that she wouldn't make fun of you for being an outcast compared to your brother.

"That's pretty cool," she softly smiles. "I hope we can get along." Yachi agrees with her, smiling as well.

You didn't realize but a small smile appeared on your face. Feeling a wave of relief wash over you.

Not long after, you three walk out of the restroom and enter the gymnasium where all the teams are in. They've already started conditioning and playing matches against each other.

You bid your goodbyes to the two of them as they run back to their team. Meanwhile, you frantically observe the gym, eyes scanning the area to find that one boy that made your heart flutter with excitement.

A hand touched your shoulder and you jump from it unexpectedly. You turn around only to be met with curious eyes.

"Who are you looking for, Y/n?"

Heat begins to rise in your face. "B..Bokuto!" You stutter nervously.

"That's me!" He laughs joyfully. "How've you been? I haven't heard from you in forever!"

"Sorry, I've been busy. I'm..doing well!" You reply.

"That's great to hear," he smiles. "Are you here to watch Kuroo practice.?"

You look down, "Actually...I-"

That's right, you haven't told the boy about the news. Thinking about it now, you feel bad for not telling him.

"I'm the new manager of the team..." You mumble quietly fidgeting with your fingers.

Bokuto widens his eyes in shock. Then he smiles brightly, "That's great! I'm so proud of you for doing that!" He pats your head.

You mumble a 'thank you'. Bokuto then tilts his head to the side, "I saw you walk in with two other girls. Did you just meet them?"

Earning a nod from you, "Yeah! I met them in the restroom and they seem really nice...I thought about what you told me, to keep my breathing in motion when talking to other people."

Bokuto's hair perked up with excitement, "Really? I'm glad!"

There were a few minutes of silence until Bokuto decided to break it. "Well I'm happy you're here. I'll catch you later, yeah?" He waves goodbye to you as he runs back to where his team is.

You smile at his leaving form and turn around once you feel someone's presence behind you.

"Where were you?" Kuroo asks resting his hands on his hips like always. "You disappeared on me when I was talking to you."

"I couldn't bare to hear you scold me as if I was some little kid." You walk away from him and join Yaku and Lev who were doing their stretches. You hand them their bottles of water and watch Bokuto play at other side of the gym.

"Kuroo is right, I do like Bokuto..." You tell yourself.
