Fair warning: I've never ice skated before in my life so I have no clue about anything to do with Ice Skating.

Hope you enjoy my story!

'We're almost there, calm down.'

Mei Kozume huffed as she read the message from her beloved brother. Previously, she was spamming her brother messages, telling him to answer her after she called him asking where he was— he ended up saying he was in the volleyball clubroom and that he was coming soon.

She had just finished ice skating practice and now she was waiting for her twin brother and his friend to meet up with her so they could take the train home.

The high school was only around the corner from the ice rink where she practiced, so it never took her long or her brother that long to get here; it was about 10 minutes or less.

So when 10 minutes passed from when she called him, she ended up spamming messages to him and only 3 minutes later did he answer.

He was probably taking his sweet time to get here with his bestfriend, Tetsuro Kuroo. Just like old times, where she would rush ahead to places while Kenma took short steps while playing a game and Kuroo would grin and walk Kenma's pace. She usually wouldn't mind but theres times where she did, like when there was only a couple minutes left before the firework show at a festival started and she wanted to get a good spot because of her height, but because Kenma and Kuroo slowed her down, every good spot was taken... She's never seen fireworks without a person blocking her way and she blames the boys for it.

She sighs sadly as she remembers the fact.

Though, despite their slow paced walking, she loved both of them. She's known Kenma ever since shes existed, so of course she loves him while Kuroo, who she's known for nine years, took Kenma out of his shell and introduced him to Volleyball. She was grateful for Kuroo because she was never able to take Kenma out of his shell. He had always been the little shadow that she had before Kuroo, following her around while she interacted with people and ice skated.

Obviously, she had tried to get him to ice skate with her and converse with the other children but for some reason, he never got the hang of it, like she was with Volleyball and he was too shy to interact with the kids their age.

But then, Kuroo moved in next door and he became friends with her anti-social twin brother and practiced Volleyball with Kenma. She would usually find herself coming home from practice and see Kuroo and Kenma practicing over the fences between the houses.

Oh and of course, she also loved Kuroo because of his scheming and laid back personality but she mainly likes him because he's Kenma's bestfriend.

"Mei."

Mei blinks, snapping out of her thoughts and turned to the pair beside her, who sadly were actually taller than her and she really had to look up instead of beside her.

"Why are you spacing out?" Came Kenma's voice, the same one who said her name. Kuroo beside him was just eying Mei with a raised brow, It was rare to catch loud Mei spacing out.

Mei blinked again, finally getting her senses back "OH! I didn't see you there!"

Kenma gave her a flat look "That's not what I asked."

Kuroo grinned; Reason unknown to Mei.

"Um... I was just thinking about the training camp tomorrow..." She lied, though she did it quite smoothly.

Kenma stared at her for a moment before sighing "okay" and he started to walk down the path to the train station.

Kuroo gave her another grin before following him.

Mei glared at his back before jogging up to them with large smile "SO! How was practice?"

"Fine." Kenma answered.

"Kenma had to practice with Lev, again" Kuroo answered after with a grin to Mei, while Kenma gave him a glare before focusing on the game he was playing on his phone.

"Still can't sync with him? That's too bad," Mei commented "He would probably be some sort of powerful offensive weapon after you sync with him and he has a little more experience"

Kuroo laughed before giving a smug grin "Thats the plan"

Mei laughed then shook her head, of course Kuroo thought that too "So, what time tomorrow?" She asked.

She was the assistant manager for the Nekoma team but she hadn't been at practice for the past week cause her coach was making her work her butt off in Ice-skating because of the upcoming region tournament.

"7:30, we have a game with..." And thus, Kuroo informed her on what school's they were playing against from the Miyagi region and if they were good or not.

"Then, We're doing a practice match with Karasuno High School. I can't wait to verse them" Kuroo said with a small chuckle.

"Karasuno? Isn't that the team Nekoma rivalled before? What was it called... Battle of the trash.. Battle of the bins?Battle at the-"

"-Garbage dump" Kenma mumbled as he continued to play his game. Kuroo snickered before looking forward with a ghost of a grin on his face "Battle at the Garbage dump." He said.

Mei tilted her head with a knowing smile towards Kuroo; she knew he was thinking about the future game with Karasuno and showing off the team.

Mei rolled her eyes at the thought of him showing off the team and turned her head and faced the train station thats in the distance before really thinking about the training camp.

Battle of the Garbage dump, huh? Should be fun to watch... I wonder if they have a girl manager that I could talk too...


Did I mess up anywhere?
