  “You really didn’t have to do that (Name)-chan.” Taichi sighed as he sat with (Name) and her frozen treat.
  “He kept his promise.” Taichi clicked his tongue. “He’s also taking care of (S/Name)-senpai apparently. A kiss on the cheek is a small way of thanking him for doing that.”
  “You’re too innocent (Name)-chan.” the annoyed redhead leaned forward “What if he asks for more?” (Name) shrugs.
  “By the way Taichi-san, when are tryouts for the Volleyball team?”
  “Already did them. I’m getting a sports scholarship.” (Name) smiles brightly at her friend
    “That’s great! That means we both have a scholarship!”
  “Yeah but yours is because you’re a super genius,” Taichi smirks as he sips the milkshake he ordered. “Are you going to continue volleyball? I know you were pretty shaken up without (S/Name)-senpai.”
  “... I don’t know, Taichi. It wasn’t the same without her…” She takes another spoonful of ice cream into her mouth. Taichi’s eyes never left her. “Besides, I don’t even know if I’ll even make the team. I’m not very powerful.”
  “What about setter? You could be a setter.”
  “Taichi, I don’t have the instinct. I’m nothing like (S/Name)-senpai.” (Name) smiled. Taichi sighed as he patted her shoulder.
  “I get it. At least tell (S/Name)-senpai when you see her next.” (Name) nods at her pseudo-brother. She gave him a big smile before taking a spoonful of ice cream. Taichi quickly took a photo as a way to brag to his basketball idiot friend later.
  The wheels in (Name)’s head were turning though. She wanted to be with (S/Name)-senpai and help like (S/Name)-Senpai, then maybe she should sign on as an assistant manager. She could stay close to Taichi that way too. (Name) looked over at Taichi as he sent the picture that he took to Itsuki. He probably wouldn’t be happy with her being close to that Tendou fellow, but it would be worth it if she got to help her senior.
  “I will. By the way, those boys said (S/Name)-senpai was sick, I think they were buying ice cream for her.”
  “Who knows,” Taichi says in an aggravated tone “Maybe they’re faking, it’s Tendou after all.”
  “You don’t know that Taichi-kun!” (Name) puffed her cheeks as she looked away.
  “Hey, don’t you have some mangas or something you need to pick up today? Let’s do that while we’re out.” Taichi suddenly changes the subject. He really didn’t want little (Name) getting mixed up with Tendou. Who knows what he’d do to her. She’s so sweet and innocent, he’d probably get pleasure from ripping her innocence apart.

  A month later, a nervous (Name) held a club application in her hands. She shook slightly as she walked towards the gym. She knew Taichi was taking a nap, so he couldn’t stop her.
  She was going to apply to be the assistant manager of the volleyball team. Taichi would be mad at her, but she wanted to help (S/Name)-senpai in any way she could! How bad could that ‘Tendou’ boy be? He was friends with (S/name)-senpai right?
  (Name) then turned a corner too quickly and bumped into someone
  “A-ah! I’m sorry!” She then looked up to see a very angry looking boy with sharply cut bangs. He was taller than her, but not nearly as tall as Taichi. He seemed to be the same age as Taichi though. “Um…”
  “Watch it next time.” He then rudely passes her and ignores anything she has to say. She observes the boy. His hands looked skilled, and he wore knee pads.
  “Volleyball... setter...” she whispered to herself. She turned her head away “And kinda rude… If I have to take care of people like him on the team, am I really cut out for the position?” (Name) began to doubt herself, but she peers into the gym regardless. She observed (S/Name) taking notes on a spike that the second year ace Ushijima Wakatoshi just slammed past Tendou.
  “Yeesh! My fingers are gonna break off if I continue going after those!” Tendou complains as he shakes his hands out. The setter, Semi Eita shook his head as he smiled.
  “I doubt (S/Name) would let your fingers snap off.” (S/Name) smiled and gave Tendou a look over.
  “Eh, if they snap off, we’ll glue them back on.” she jokes as she looks over to the door to spot the shy first year. “Eh? (Name)-chan?” the middle blocker perked up at the name and quickly turned around. (Name) flinched at his sudden gaze. She also noticed the gaze of another wing spiker and a Libero.
  “So your name is (Name)-chan!? Cute!” Tendou then ran over to (Name) and was about to take her hands into his once again, but was interrupted by a paper. He looked down at the paper and began to think. (Name) began to blush as he stood so close to her. “... is that a club application?” (name) nodded softly as she walked past him towards (S/Name)
  “(S/Name)-senpai, I wish to join and be the assistant manager, and help you in any way I can.” (Name) trembled slightly as she handed her application to her senior. (S/Name) takes it and looks it over quickly before looking back to her junior
  “Does Taichi-kun know about this? What about Itsuki-kun?” (Name) then was washed with sadness as she thought of her friend that moved away. Tears started to form in her eyes and she attempted to wipe them away. (S/Name) jumped as her junior began to full on cry. “Eh!? (Name)-chan! Is everything okay? (Name)-chan!” (S/name) then began digging in her pockets as she looked for tissues.
  “I-Itsuki moved to T-T-Tokyo!” (Name) blubbered as she continued to cry. The rest of the volleyball boys began to feel slightly panicked as well. They didn’t know this girl at all, and they didn’t know how to deal with crying girls well. (S/Name) didn’t cry much, and when she did, they let Ushijima take care of it the best he could. Tendou then stuck out his chest and put his arm around (Name)’s shoulder.
  “Hey, it’s okay (Name)-chan! I’ll look after you!” He then placed a kiss on her forehead before fully enveloping her.
  “Eh? You know her, Satori?” (S/Name) squawked at him. Tendou froze. (S/Name) still doesn’t know about the time Tendou went searching for information in the middle school. (Name) blinked before blushing slightly, but she pushed Tendou away slightly and looked at her upperclassman.
  “He came to the middle school one day to ask about some volleyball things.” (Name) covered for Tendou. She didn’t know why she covered for him, but Tendou seemed to appreciate it.
  “Alright? I guess.” (S/Name) became suspicious of Tendou, but (Name) seemed comfortable. She began to wonder what (Name) did to have Tendou so infatuated with her. (S/Name) narrowed her eyes, and then stuck a hand in between Tendou and (Name) “You do realize that (Name) is one of the kids I took care of though, right? Satori?” Mama Eagle was clearly not super pleased with Tendou’s sudden display of affection. Snickering could be heard from other second years.
  “You had that coming Satori.” A deep voice called to him.
  “So you’re okay with me not continuing volleyball (S/Name)-senpai?” (S/Name) sighed as she looked over the application again
  “It saddens me slightly, but I understand it. You probably feel lonely without one of your brothers, huh?”
  “I-I also want to help you as much as I can!” (Name) removes herself from Tendou’s grasp. “Y-You helped me a lot, now I want to return the favor! Please!” (Name) bows to her senior “Let me help you!” (S/Name) is taken aback. She blinks several times before looking at the application one last time. A deep, stern voice cuts in
  “If you accept her application, you don’t have to go to the water fountains alone again, (S/Name).” (S/Name) flinched and grimaced at a tall, muscular player that (Name) recognized as Ushijima.
  ‘Wing spiker… left-handed…’
  “If I accept, we have a super genius manager then. By the way Satori, she is way out of your league.” (S/Name) points out as she clicks a pen and begins writing. Tendou flinches and looks up at his manager
  “What do you mean?” (Name) begins blushing as she pushes her fingers together.
  “For starters, she was given a scholarship to Shiratorizawa, not for any sports, but an elusive academic scholarship. In junior high, she was moved up a grade. She ranks top 1% in this school when it comes to academics.” (Name) begins to blush heavily as she begins babbling about it not meaning much.
  “Cute and smart? What more could a boy ask for!” Tendou nestles his face into (Name)’s cheek, and it clearly annoyed (S/Name).
  “PERMISSION!” (S/Name) shouted as she grappled the lanky middle blocker and easily tossed him towards the net. Ushijima was quicker to check on (S/Name), and less concerned about where she threw Tendou. (Name) blinked then smiled. Her precious senior had not lost any strength, and she had people checking on her. He really had kept his promise.
