"Don't you think it's a bit too early for being in the gym?" Sugawara asked, walking into the room already with his practice clothes.

"Well, I'm not the one who has already changed." The captain pointed out with a chuckle. "Besides, I was just checking the court; coach Ukai said that we are having an intense practice today. I don't want anything to stop us from concentrating."

"You worry too much, Daichi." Whined the light color haired approaching him. "Exams are soon, you shouldn't stress with small things like Asahi sneezing because of his allergies. You are a good captain..."

"I suppose I am, it's just that the Spring Games are in a couple of months and we have to be better than eve-"

"We are getting better." Interrupted Koushi, placing his hands on the dark haired's shoulders. "You don't have to take all the responsibility, that's why I am the vice-captain." He whispered, leaning slightly.

"I don't know how I would handle everything without you." Sawamura tried to wrap his arms around the shorter teenager, but his hands stop him.

"No distractions, remember?" The vice-captain pulled away, sticking out his tongue. "Also, our kouhais are getting here really soon, especially Hinata and Kageyama." He smiled innocently as they heard some running outside the gym.

Sugawara Koushi was a total devil. Poor Daichi was still kiss deprived.

"Bakageyama, I'm going to win!" The red-haired exclaimed running as he was followed by the taller. "Victory is mine!"

"Shut up, Hinata! I'm already two races ahead."

Both scholars ran to the entrance having Hinata as a winner for less than a second. "Not anymore, just one more and we'll be tight." He said between tired gasps, looking at Kageyama who was laying beside him.

"Kageyama, Hinata. Early as always." Koushi smiled slightly at them, ignoring Daichi who was trying to catch his attention. "Could you help us bringing the balls from the storage room?"

Both players nodded at the same time, glaring at each other. A new competition was on. No matter how tired they seemed they ran towards the storage room. "They have a lot of energy, uh?" The third year mentioned and welcomed the manager who was bringing extra bottles with water.

"Let me help you Shizumi." Daichi offered taking most of them, looking at Suga for some kind of answer. "You know she knows, right?"

"I know." His boyfriend nodded and kissed his cheek." But not the others and no distractions." He grinned, taking some bottles with him and placed them in a bench.

If they keep running like a tiger were following them they wouldn't have any energy left for practice. Kageyama and Hinata rested leaning on the wall inside the room, the last one with his eyes close. "H-Hinata..." Whispered the setter, trying not to sound as nervous as he was. The bouncy teenager turned to him. "Yes?"

"…We have to hurry up!" Tobio pointed at what his senpai asked for to place his attention in other things. He thought about asking him to do anything together, maybe a movie or fast food; he didn't want to sound cliché, but couldn't imagine anything else to do with him…

Kageyama also thought on cuddling.

If Tsukishima could read his mind, he would call him pathetic.

Stupid puberty.

Walking towards the gym with his best friend, Tsukishima Kei was trying his best not to stare at his friend's butt, it was like the universe was against him because supposedly Yamaguchi wasn't able to train as he wanted to if he didn't use shorts. He wouldn't have cared mind years ago, but now…they were testing him. If Tadashi keeps distracting, because the blond is blaming the other for everything, everybody in the team would notice that something is going on into Kei's mind…and it is, Yamaguchi's butt to be exact.

They were welcomed by the rest of team as they started to receive instructions from the coach. "Let's start with 10 laps." Coach Ukai indicated, reading the statistics the sensei handed him. "Next receives and serves." He blew his whistle and the team started running.

"They are getting better, Ukai-kun." Smiled Takeda sensei and opened his guide about volleyball. "No one wants to lose his position."

"That's good. It's motivation and if we keep like this in our first game we are going to surprise even more." The coach grinned, this time they were going to win and have the opportunity of playing with Nekoma. It was on!
