Karasuno arrived in Saitama and Nekoma decided to welcome them. Kuroo and Kenma were standing next to the bus's door as the Karasuno volleyball players got off of it.

Kuroo Yawned and then saw someone start to fall on the last step. He quickly caught the boy, "You okay?"

"Yeah, sorry," He stumbled with the first word as he looked up at Kuroo. Kuroo quickly realized how cute the boy was but before he could ask for his name he heard someone clear their throat.

"Yamaguchi," Tsukishima said as he walked off the bus. He was the one who cleared his throat getting the attention on him.

"Sorry, Tsukki!" Yamaguchi spoke softly then bowed to Kuroo, "Thank you, Nekoma's captain."

"'Nekoma's captain'…" Kenma quoted Yamaguchi.

Kuroo stared at Yamaguchi then he started laughing. He placed his hands on Yamaguchi's shoulders and wore a big smile, he was trying his best to not laugh, "Just call me Kuroo."

"Yamaguchi!" Tsukishima didn't like the fact Kuroo was touching Yamaguchi. He walked away.

"Sorry Tsukki!" Yamaguchi quickly followed Tsukishima.

Hinata finally got off the bus and he and Kenma walked in front of everyone all the way to the school where they would be practicing.

They got to the gym and started warming up. Daichi noticed Kuroo waving for him to come over. Daichi was a bit confused but went over telling the team to finish warming up.

"What's up?" Daichi asked and then saw a smile on Kuroo's face, "Um, did we do something wrong?"

"What? No," Kuroo didn't understand why everyone didn't trust his smile, "There's something I need."

"Yeah? Well I'll help if I can."

Kuroo slung an arm around Daichi's shoulders, "Which one of your member's first name is Tadashi?" Kuroo knew he was jumping the gun and playing unfairly to the game of learning who each other was at the same time. But he had to know.

"Tadashi? That's Yamaguchi," Thinking Kuroo didn't know who that was he pointed at the young boy who was stretching his arms. "That one with the ahoge."

"Don't point!" Kuroo didn't want him to know he knew who he was, "I mean… isn't pointing rude? But thanks, you can go back to your side." He smiled hoping Daichi would leave him alone.

Daichi was confused, was that all Kuroo wanted? He nodded and walked back to the Karasuno members.

Kuroo stared at Tadashi, or rather Yamaguchi as he knew now what his last name was. "Well he's average looking, but that doesn't matter." It didn't matter how he looked, Kuroo fell for him anyways.

"Kuroo…" Kenma stared at Kuroo's face. "Your face is red."

Kuroo grabbed Kenma's head and made him turn around back to Nekoma's team, "Alright let's start."

During that time Yamaguchi felt eyes on him but was too nervous to look at who was staring at him.

The first practice set for Karasuno was against Fukurodani Academy. They lost the first set, then they went against another team, and lost.

It kept continuing like that.

Finally all the practice sets ended and everyone started practicing on their own thing.

While Kuroo practiced in the second gym, Yamaguchi was practicing in the first.

When the day ended Kuroo was ready to see Yamaguchi, his Tadashi, but Yamaguchi was too exhausted to see anyone. Yamaguchi laid in his bed with his phone above his head as he texted read a text from Tetsurou.

Tetsurou: Ready to meet?

Tadashi: Sorry Tetsurou maybe tomorrow.

Yamaguchi felt bad about his reply but he was too exhausted from practice, he might have overdone it.

Kuroo sighed as he looked at his phone, well now he knew who Tadashi was so he was feeling a bit better than last time they couldn't meet. He text Tadashi to rest and he walked to where Nekoma was sleeping so he could sleep as well.

The second day everyone took a break to have some watermelon; however, Bokuto found two water hoses. He grabbed one and threw the other at Kuroo. Kuroo caught it.

"One…" Kuroo said.

"Two…" Bokuto said.

"THREE!" They both shouted then ran to turn on their hose.

They both fought with the water yelling "Take that!" and other things. Both getting quite soaked until…

"GAH!"

Kuroo had sprayed Yamaguchi with the hose.

No, no, no, not him! Kuroo was screaming in his head, how could he have sprayed the one he likes with the hose by accident!?

Yamaguchi was soaked, his shirt stuck close to his chest. He looked down as he registered that he got hit by the water then up at who sprayed him. It was the team captain of Nekoma.

As Yamaguchi opened his mouth to say something to Kuroo, Bokuto started laughing. He had been holding back his laughter but it ended up escaping.

"Yamaguchi," Kuroo and Yamaguchi turned their heads towards the tall blond.

"Tsukki," Yamaguchi's face brightened while Kuroo's darkened.

He figured out who Tadashi's best friend was that he mentioned before. Tsukishima, The blond who he was teasing and teaching.

"Shut up, Yamaguchi," Kuroo thought that was rude but Yamaguchi just kept smiling and was dragged away by Tsukishima.

Kuroo walked away to turn off the water. He was no longer in the mood to play with Bokuto. He dropped his hose and after he turned back around, a second later he was met with water in his face.

"Bokuto! What was that for!?" He shouted at Bokuto.

"Come on bro, you dropped your weapon. I won." He smiled and then walked over to Kuroo to pat his shoulder. "You were crying," He whispered to Kuroo, "I had to do that so no one could tell."

It was true. Kuroo felt completely defeated. He was good at wearing a mask and hiding his true feelings; however, with people he liked he was a wimp and honest about his feelings.

"Hey, I'm going to the infirmary. I think they have towels there I can dry off with," Kuroo said to his team. Kenma nodded while everyone else was chatting and eating watermelon slices.

"Excuse me," He sighed as he opened the infirmary's door. His eyes widened when he saw Tsukishima forcefully throw a towel at Yamaguchi's face. He heard the glasses boy even mutter, "idiot" at the other.

Yamaguchi, or rather, his Tadashi just smiled an apologetic smile as if he did something wrong.

"Hey!" Kuroo felt like he was going to snap, "Glasses, treat your teammates better. And you," he turned to Yamaguchi, "Don't accept rude behavior as if it's okay."

He was upset, not only at them but at himself. He grabbed a towel and stormed away to grab a change of clothes for when he dried off. He was upset at himself for spraying Tadashi but also upset because it really did seem like he wouldn't get a place in Tadashi's heart if Glasses was there. You have to either love someone so much to accept their rude behavior for you or have so little confidence in yourself to accept it without arguing.
