"Congrats Mrs. Harumi! It's a boy! What do you want to call him?" I stare at the giant man in scary doctor clothes. I mean everything is scary when you're a tiny baby but the guy has a mask and glasses, you can barely see his face!
A tired voice calls out from the person I seem to be lying on the chest of, "Asuka, Harumi Asuka. With Asu meaning to fly and Ka for bird." Aww, this person who seems to be my new mom sounds so gentle. Well, she seems exhausted but I can feel the love in her voice! Plus I have to admit my name fits this series perfectly with my first name and Harumi meaning clear weather!
For making an observation you have gained the skill Observe!
Ok, welp. Thanks? I try focusing and I look up at the women I will get to call mother. Her eyes are blue and she has straight blond hair, definitely a foreigner. She is very pretty though, her lips are shaped like a heart and her eyes are large and gentle. Her nose is also a perfect button nose, it seems I got some good genes!
"You did amazing sweetheart! Look at him!" A man's voice gushes despite also sounding tired, "Little Asuka! My little baby!" I focus on forcing my little baby body to turn its head and I look at my dad. White hair? Dark black eyes? Yep, this is an anime!
"Shh, quiet down Hiro. I want to nap plus look at little Asuka, he seems exhausted." Lady you aren't wrong! I open my mouth and yawn, who knew moving my little body would take so much energy!
"Asuka! Be more careful! Don't trip and fall, we don't want any ouchies!" My mom yells while I run in the front yard. I've been slowly working on leveling up my skills, of course, I learned that apparently, my stats are all super low until I reach teenagehood! Unfair!
Well in the meanwhile I've been running and working on trying to get my stamina up. I still haven't decided what volleyball role I want to play yet...hmmm what does the team need? As usual, I want to be very well rounded but what specific? Well, I guess it depends on where we even are in Japan. "Mama! Wewer awe we?" Yes, I sadly have the baby talk! Listen, talking at three years old is already hard enough without judgment!
"Hmm, well," seeing me stopped she picks me up and holds me, "We live in Japan. We live in the capital called Tokyo. Can you say it? Tokyo?"
"Un! Toknyo!" So it seems that the schools that I could go to are either Nekoma or Fukurodani. Hehe, I'm going with the kitty cats. I want my pudding boy and the dumbass Kuroo!
"Haha," my dad comes out and grabs my hands. He starts playing with my fingers and smiles, "Our little boy is so smart! Yes, our little Asuka is a genius!"
Hehe, you've got a big storm coming, dad. I do have the skill Genius Volleyballer! "Dada! Hehehe!" I smile at him and watch him melt. Oh yeah after staring at the mirror I can confirm 10/10 cute baby confirmed.
"Awww that's my little birdy, yeah that's my little Asuka!" Dad coos and pinches my cheeks. Stop it! I try to slap his hands but it seems to have done no damage! Gah! Do I not have the type advantage!?
Wanting back down I squirm and mom puts me back onto the floor. Going back I start running around the front yard again, not doing laps because duh that sus but just going from place to place. We live in a small traditional house with a front garden with one of those small ponds and clank thingies!
As I run around and play with the caterpillar in the grass an old lady's voice comes from the gate, "Hello? I have some castella that I bought today, would you like to share?" Old lady Aka! Hello dear precious grandmother figure please, do come in. I would love to eat the castella!
"Mrs. Akamatsu! Please do come in, the gate is unlocked!" Mama! My savior! Come to me my dear castella! Granny Aka comes in walking slowly, her hair up in a bun and gray, her eyes closed like most typical anime grandmas but in her hands is a box. A box I desire to have.
Maybe it is the drool coming from my mouth or maybe it's my excited gaze but the three adults laugh. "Asuka sure seems to like sweets huh," granny Aka smiles and ruffles my hair.
"He sure does. Hopefully, he knows better than to try and steal the whole box this time?" Shh mom we don't speak of that incident! Seeing my pouting face all of them laugh yet again. Glad to know I'm a source of entertainment! Hmpf!
It seems it's time...Time for middle school! Yep, I am now solidly a child and a lot of my stats have come back! Plus I'm going to the same school as Kenma and Kuroo! Yay for plot!
"Do you have everything? Pencils? Lunchbox? Notebooks? Pens? Eraser? Books?" Mom asks for the last time before I'm off. Nodding my head I smile and make my way out the door, "Have a good day!"
"Un! Love you!" I turn and smile at her before racing off to the school. It isn't far actually, only ten minutes. I smile as I make my way through the crowd, most people ignore me and I ignore them. However, I spy out of the corner of my eye a small not quite yet pudding, pudding head! Knowing he doesn't want to draw attention to himself I casual sit down a few seats away. Listen, being blond with blue eyes in japan draws attention! "Welcome first years!" Ugh yeah no, not paying attention. Droning out the principle's speech I scan around the huge gymnasium. Oooh, do I spot a rooster? Ahaha there he is, dumbass #2 Kuroo. Yeah, #2 cause sadly he isn't as much of an adorable dumbass as Bokubro. Finally, after staring into space I watch as the crowd of students make their way to the entrance of the school building where we most likely will get our school schedule.
Following the crowd, I accidentally run into a certain someone. Landing on my but I groan as I hear, "Well stranger, it seems you just fell for me."
"...Sure, why not. Seems I have fallen and can't get up." I deadpan while staring at Kuroo's nervous but honestly, and sadly, handsome face. Hearing him let out a small chuckle I smile at him. I see him start fidgeting with his fingers and stare at my face. Well, even I know that I'm quite good-looking, no need for the complements my dude.
"Uhh," He stares at me trying to put together words as I pull myself to my feet," D-do you volleyball? Uh no, wait uh...Do you want to join the volleyball team?"
"Oh, yeah sure. If that's ok I would like to join!" All according to plan! Actually, there is no plan, just go for it me!
"Yep," he pops the p and takes off. I make my way through the crowd and quickly grab my schedule. Cool nothing too hard I guess.
Kuroo seems to have an easy time spotting me as he hands me a form. Filling it out quickly I hand it back and he leaves with a goodbye.
"Line up!" The coach calls out. Not being sure about what I need to do I just follow along with what everyone else is doing. "Introductions! Name, Grade, Position, and Height!"
I stare into space barely listening to what everyone is saying. Eventually, it gets to me, "Asuka Harumi, first year. I play all rounder but mostly play middle blocker. I'm 5'2!"
"Hmm, certantly tall for a first year. Alright lets start practice!"
not super important but I wanted to thank my first ever comment for being so sweet and nice and...well anyways, thank you Poharan!
