[Name] was starting to grumble quietly to herself. Running around the giant gymnasium was rather tiring when one had to help different team managers with different tasks. She wasn't even technically a team manager, yet she had to help around like she was one; though, she supposed it wouldn't be too fair if all she did was freeload around the gym either.
"Man, I'm really thirsty," she complained after wheeling a large cart of volleyballs from one side of the gym to the other.
Scanning the surrounding area for a source of water, [Name] was elated to find a giant jug with a tap attached to it. Skipping over it to it, she noticed that there was only one clean plastic cup left on the table where the jug sat. She reached a hand out, glad she would finally be able to quench her rather parched throat.
"Eh?" A moment of confusion passed over her as another hand quickly reached out for the plastic cup she had mentally claimed as hers. "H-Hey that was mine!"
"Oh, was it?" The offender who had stolen her cup, a rather amused Kuroo, gave the short girl a smug smirk as he took a long sip of water from it. After parting the plastic from his lips, he gave it a once over, clicking his tongue a bit. "Sorry, don't see your name anywhere here."
Giving her a sly smile accompanied with an amused chuckle, Kuroo ruffled [Name]'s hair with his large hand before making his way back over to his teammates. [Name] could practically feel her blood boiling as she watched the cocky captain slink away with her cup. Had her throat not been as dry as a desert, she was sure she would've given him a few choice words about his abhorrent behavior.
"Now what am I supposed to do?"
[Name] stood in front of the jug of water in silent defeat, her mind going over the many ways she could possibly get at the life giving liquid inside. She could try drinking from the tap, but that action would be so unsanitary. She could use someone else's cup, but that option, too, was rather disgusting in her opinion. Maybe she could go find more cups? But what if the water was gone by the time she came back? A heavy sigh escaped her lips; she was so close to her goal, yet a mere inch or two of plastic kept it as far away from her as possible.
"Oh, wait!" A sudden idea popped into her head and she thanked the heavens that she had decided to bring her journal along with her on the trip to Tokyo.
Ripping out a specific page of her journal, [Name] proceeded to curl it into a cone shape. She didn't have any tape on her at the moment, so she would have to work quickly if she wanted to get a drink. Holding the newly formed cone in her hand, she placed it under the flow of the tap before releasing the water from its jug-prison. It splashed into the makeshift cup, wetting [Name]'s hands a bit, and as soon as it was full enough for her, [Name] brought it to her lips. She swallowed the water greedily, wasting not a single drop.
"Ah, so satisfying," she sighed happily. Glancing over to where Kuroo had retreated, she noticed that he had been watching her actions with a bemused smirk. "[Name]: one. Trash: zero."
…Make a funnel; drink some water.
