There wasn't really anyone left when she looked back at the gym besides some Shinzen Ubugawa team and several Fukurodani members wrapping up their practice. Yachi inspected the court where Nekoma had their last match and nodded to herself, making sure that nothing was left behind.

She was still carrying the basket that holds all Nekoma's clean water bottles. She just had to put them at the kitchen and then she can join the others for dinner.

As Yachi walks down the hallway, she was passing by another gym when someone just came out through the door. Upon seeing the person, Yachi recognized him and greeted.

"Good evening, Akaashi-san."

"Good evening, Yachi-san. Are you done for today?" He asked as he stepped out.

She nodded, "Yes. I'm bringing these over to the kitchen and join everyone for dinner. Are you also done, Akaashi-san?"

Akaashi nodded with a tired sigh, "I could barely escape Bokuto-san's extra practice. I'm already hungry."

Yachi smiled, "Let's go to the cafeteria together. Ah, they're cooking some beef cutlets for the menu tonight. I heard that Kaori-san is really good at cooking."

"It's her turn to cook tonight? Well now I can't wait to eat." Akaashi replied, a smile resonates in his words.

Yachi chuckles lightly before she shivered when she felt a wind passing by. It was only then when Akaashi noticed, "Yachi-san. I couldn't help but ask…why are you soaked wet?"

Yachi replied in an embarrassed expression, "Ah…there was a little accident when I washed these bottles earlier. Kuroo-san managed to spray me with water."

"He poured an entire gallon of water on you?"

Yachi smiled sheepishly, "Not exactly. He sprayed the water straight from the faucet."

Akaashi furrowed his eyebrows, "How troublesome." He commented.

"Don't worry. I managed to repay his accident back with double effort." Yachi piped up.

Akaashi laughs, his voice smooth and light to Yachi's ears. 'What a nice laugh.' She thought.

"You did a good job. Ah – " Akaashi then took off his current Fukurdoani's jacket and wrapped it on Yachi's shoulder. "You should wear this. You wouldn't want to get sick for tomorrow."

"E-eh? I'm okay, Akaashi-san. Besides I'm not that cold." She tries to push his jacket away but Akaashi insisted.

"I wouldn't want our manager to be sick for tomorrow. You're taking care of our team so you should be in full energy." He responded with a polite smile, tugging the jacket close to her upper body so it won't fall.

Yachi responded with a brief, "A-ah…okay." And slid her arms into the sleeves of his jackets. It was bigger than she expected but it did snug her comfortably, she felt warmer than before. "Thank you, Akaashi-san. You're very kind."

When Akaashi slid his hand on Yachi's neck, his fingers gently brushed against the skin of her neck before he brushed the edge of her locks from the collars of his jacket so that her hair won't be tucked inside. Yachi's heart felt like she was on edge by the gesture.

'That surprised me.' She thought.

Akaashi leaned down and looked at her, a gentle smile on his charming face. "Is it comfortable?"

"Y-yes! Th-thank you, Akaashi-san."

"No problem."

They both proceed to walk in silence on their way to cafeteria while Yachi tries to ignore her loud beating heart and her burning face – Akaashi's fingers slightly felt the jitters of electricity running through his skin.

He couldn't forget on how Yachi's skin felt so soft against the tips of his fingers.

When Yachi picks up food for her dinner, Kaori looked at her with a smug look while looking at her jacket. "Nice jacket you have there, Yachi-chan."

Yachi felt her cheeks flared up, "A-ah, someone lent me because I'm a bit drenched earlier."

Kaori then pouts, "That won't do. You should take care of yourself better, Yachi-chan. Here – have more of miso soup, you need to be warm enough."

Kaori added a generous scoop of miso soup in her bowl and Yachi could already smell the amazing scent of the soup. Her stomach warms at the food she received. "Thank you so much, Kaori-san."

"Aw, your welcome! Oh – look at you, you're so cute! You fit perfectly in our school's jacket." Kaori gushed as she reaches out to pinch Yachi's cheek.

Yachi could only smile in defeat. It seems like there are more people who are fond of touching her cheeks lately. Yachi thanked the older girl one more time before she went and look for an empty spot on one of the tables.

As she was eating her dinner, several trays were placed near her at that moment. "Yachi-san, do you mind if we join?"

Yachi looked up to see the bright face of Hinata. He was followed by Kenma and Kageyama who seats on the same table as hers. She nodded, "Sure."

Yachi smiles in amusement as she sees the amount of food on Hinata's and Kageyama's plates while hers and Kenma were at a moderate amount. As Kenma sits down, he glanced at the jacket Yachi was wearing and asked.

"Are you sick, Yachi-san?"

Yachi shook her head, feeling a little shy that she had to answer this question because of what happened. "No. Someone lent me their jacket because I'm a little wet after washing the bottles earlier."

Kenma hummed as he tilts his head, "Did Kuroo did something to you? He was also wet earlier."

Yachi faltered, "Oh that…he was just joking around and playing with water when we washed the bottles."

Hinata widened his eyes and leaned to Yachi. "Eh? Yachi-san are you okay? you can't be sick!"

Kageyama grunted as he pulled Hinata back from the close proximity. "Cool down, idiot. You're screaming to her face."

Yachi places her hand on her chest, a bit surprised by Hinata's worrisome reaction. "It's okay. I'm not feeling sick or anything. I was feeling a little cold earlier but now I'm okay."

Hinata nodded and grumbled, picking his rice, "Mou, what is your captain doing, Kenma?"

Kenma's lips tugged a little, "He's an idiot, that's all I can say."

Hinata rolls his eyes as he munches on his rice, "Never mind that. So! Was it fun being with Nekoma, Yachi-san? Is Karasuno better than them? Of course we are, right?"

Kenma lifted one of his eyebrow, "I'm still right here." A little bit put off by Hinata asking such direct questions to Yachi.

Yachi tries to answer diplomatically. "I can't say that either of you are better than the other. I learned a lot from Nekoma members too so it was quite an experience. Everyone is very nice."

Hinata hums as he eats. Kageyama then speaks up as he was curious about something, "Was there any point of difference between our teams from your observation?"

Yachi nodded. "There were several that I noticed."

Kageyama nodded, telling Yachi to explain it in further detail.

She continued, "Well I can only say that Karasuno needs to improve our receives by a lot."

Kageyama frowns as he picked on his vegetables, "Oikawa-san always reminded our team about that particular skill from our last game."

"We're not going to lose to them the next time!" Hinata declared as he suddenly eats his food in a much vigorous behavior.

"You're going to choke on your food if you don't slow down, Shoyo." Kenma reminded him.

Yachi chuckles a little as she continues to eat her dinner with the boys. Hinata kept prolonging the conversation between them with Yachi or Kenma adding to the talk. Kegayama kept quiet as he eats, save for some several comments from him to tell Hinata that he's an idiot.

"When are you going to rotate to us again?" Kageyama asked to Yachi.

"I think the I'll be rotating to you on the last day."

Kageyama responded with a frown and a disappointed expression. He poked on his food, "I thought you'll be rotating back to us as our regular manager soon enough."

Yachi blinked, "Were you having troubles with the other managers?"

He shook his head, "No. It was just more comfortable when I'm with you."

Yachi proceed to blink to process his words before she nodded, "O-oh."

Kageyama then widened his eyes, realizing what he could meant and turned back to her with flushed cheeks. "I meant – it was more comfortable when we're with you. The team. I meant it like that – yeah." He cleared his throat several times before munching back his own food.

"If you say so…" Yachi replied hesitantly, "But the others managers are really good and you can learn a lot from them as well. Especially Fukurodani managers. Since they helped their team to nationals many times before."

Kageyama nodded, "That's true. Kaori-san taught us a lot of things today."

As soon as Yachi finished with her food, she moved on to grab her a cup of pudding from her tray for her dessert when Kageyama suddenly puts his cup of pudding on her tray.

She looked up to him, "Eh? You're not eating that?"

He shook his head as he grabbed his milk and punched the straw in. "Milk is enough for me. You can have it."

Yachi beamed, happy to have another cup of sweet as her dessert. "Thank you, Kageyama-kun!"

"Hn." Kageyama nodded as he sipped his milk. Yachi eats her first cup of pudding with relish before she finishes it off quickly and moving to eat another one. Kageyama watches as her cheeks filled with the food, resembling her face of a cute baby hamster.

He felt satisfied already when she eats her fill. She really looks like a cute hamster from his eyes. Unknown to Kageyama, his eyes were filled with fondness as he kept watching Yachi eat.

There was only one thing that irked him a little bit though. He honestly wished that she was wearing his jacket instead of the Fukurodani's.
