CHAPTER 1
xX..That Kind of Hugs..Xx
Being a part of a strong team, Yachi felt like her heart is always on her sleeves, ready to fall off in every missed receives, in every blocked spike.
She cried what it seems like an endless tears, screams a thousand cheers and received a million high fives but something changed in her second year of being the manager of Karasuno Team.
It was around spring tournament and they have a match against Shiratorizawa and they have to beat their strong rival again to make it to the nationals. Both teams have two sets they won and already on their final set. Karasuno needs another point to win and Yachi was holding her breath as the ball flies in the air and this seems like the longest play they had today and Yachi bit her lip until she taste blood but none of that matters as Hinata flies in the air, as if the time slows, and slams the ball.
The cheers erupted as Karasuno win once again and Yachi's tears stream down as the team cries as well, hugging each other and screaming at each other for yet another game accomplished. They could play another game yet again and Karasuno's heart enveloped with warmth as Takada-sensei, Ukai-sensei and Ennoshita, the new captain of Karasuno, finished their speech, and Yachi can't keep the smile off her face. Yachi knew off all people that Karasuno deserved their victory.
Yachi just finished crying as Hinata approached her, glacial eyes as well. She remembered their hardships, the sense of frustration whenever they failed to do their new technics, the feeling of defeat every time they lost a match against Tokyo's teams, the long walks after, the ride home as they avoid each other for a while, neither wanted the other to see their tears and now they won, and suddenly all of that doesn't matter anymore and she was about to hold his hand and congratulate him when he tugged her hand and wrapped his arms around her, her words suddenly clogged on her throat.
She can smell his sweat, feel his wet shirt against her hands and he was shaking, breathing and laughing in her ear. The feeling of his arms wrapped around her waist is new and warm and his hold tightens, her body flushed against him perfectly, her squeal muffled on his shirt.
"We won, Yachi." He murmured on her neck and she shivered, her heart racing. Before she can respond however, Hinata's name is called and he lets go of her as fast as he embraced her and ran back towards Nishinoya who was calling him to exchange high fives. The team roars a congratulatory yell to each other again and Yachi stand there for a whole minute, frozen and just stares at Hinata, who is now bartering kicks with Kageyama.
"What happened? Your face is all red." Takeda-sensei asked as Yachi went back to her seat in the bleachers and she shook her head slowly, a daze expression on her face.
