A/N: Kags looks so adorable in that picture. Prove me wrong, I dare you.

You stood there, along with the many other people who had just passed junior high. You held a certificate that gave you the award of the best middle school girl spiker in the whole prefecture known as Miyagi. A bright smile was present on your face out of a feeling of accomplishment, but also sadness.

Why? It's just your last year of junior high. It's not like you're moving across the whole world.

But what if you don't see them again?

Ayane Yoshida and Himari Kato. Your two best friends who had played volleyball with you since you could remember. But there was one more...

What if you don't see him again? Tobio Kageyama, the kid you have been in the same class with since the first year of junior high. Also, your volleyball rival, even if you played different positions.

'No (Y/N), you dumb little- NO STOP CURSING! You don't like him because he's a stupid. Yes, a stupid. And he would never like you back!'You thought, hopefully not betraying a hint of the mini panic attack you just had on your face.

"Is that a genuine smile I see?"

You hear a voice from behind you say with a sarcastic gasp, interrupting your thoughts, though you already had a good idea of who it was.

"Tobio Kageyama, I'm going to kill you one day for that!"

You reply in slight irritation and through gritted teeth as you turn around to see a certain raven-haired setter standing there with a smirk only a foot or so away

"As if you could try, you're too sickeningly joyful to commit a crime"

Tobio responded with a scoff, not taking that very seriously. Even if it wasn't meant to be serious, it still annoyed you just a bit.

"Whatever, idiot"

You said again with a slight glare. That was until you saw Ayane and Himari grinning like two idiots at the sight of you talking to Tobio. Your two friends shipped you with him a lot, as well as a lot of other people. Even Oikawa did! 'Unfair'  You thought. 

Tobio scowled slightly before getting called over since the boys' volleyball team was being recognized, though the girls' team was recognized a while ago with you as the captain. Ayane and Himari were also on the team and were in the same year as you. You would definitely be sad if you had to leave them.

"Hey, hey, Mrs. Kageyama! What's good?!"

You heard Ayane say with her high energy. You and Ayane were practically the living definition of chaos, which was why you had Himari. To keep you both in check.

"Ayane-chan, I will shove your certificate down your throat if you call me that again!"

You replied with the fakest smile you could manage once you turned to face her. Himari was just standing next to Ayane with an 'I'm done with you both' look. 

Himari was our team's setter while Ayane was our team's libero. They were both just as good as I was, even rivaling some of the top middle school players in Miyagi.

"You. Shut it with the threats if you can't go through with them."

Himari said, stepping in and talking to you in a very harsh and monotone manner. Just like she usually did when you and Ayane argued.

"Aww, dang it"

You muttered with a slight pout, accompanied by a frown and you heard Himari speak again, this time to Ayane.

"And you. You aren't wrong, but shut it before (Y/N)-chan actually tries to do what she threatens to"

She says with the same tone, causing you to be slightly offended by the fact that Himari agreed with Ayane.

"Hima-chaaan! That's not faaaiiir!"

You whined with a fake sob, to which Himari just rolled her eyes. You sulked like a little kid momentarily until getting distracted by something else that Ayane said. Thankfully, it wasn't something that could start another argument.

❀ ~Time skip to the end of the graduation ceremony~ ❀

You, Ayane, and Himari all walked outside to leave. As you walked out of Kitagawa Daiichi for the last time, you saw Tobio talking to a few teammates and assumed he was saying goodbye. You didn't exactly know that you were far from wrong about that. When Tobio walked away from them, you decided to go up to him, making some excuse for Ayana and Himari saying you forgot something.

"Oi, Tobio! I swear, I'll beat you in high school! Even if we can't play against each other!" 

You say with pride as you approach him. He turned around at the sound of your voice and saw you walking towards him. 

❀ ~Kageyama (1st person limited) POV~ ❀

I hear (Y/N)'s voice and turn around to where it came from. I saw her walking towards me with a slight smile on her face.

'Gosh, her eyes are so pretty. Wait what? No, they aren't. She's just an idiot who happens to be really, really, good at volleyball- I'm not doing very good at insulting her, am I?' 

I think before hearing what she had to say. I quickly snapped out of it and replied with the same, usual grumpy look on my face.

"Dumbass, do you seriously think boys' teams can go against girls' teams? Your brain must be more deformed than I thought"

'Good cover, Tobio, good cover'

(Y/N) rolls her eyes at my bluntness then speaks again

"Whatever! That's not the point! I'll become better than you one day!" 

She says with a determined look in her (e/c) eyes.

'Damn it, what am I saying? Her eyes are gorgeous. There's no denying it. WAIT, YES THERE IS, TOBIO, YES THERE IS DENYING!' 

"That'll never happen. I won't let it" 

I respond with a hint of competitiveness in my tone. Except there is something on my face. Is that... a smile? An actual smile?

❀ ~Normal (2nd person) POV~ ❀

You see the smile on Tobio's face and that was when you knew. You never wanted to lose him. Even if you weren't officially considered friends. You didn't want to lose this. The back-and-forths. The competitive arguments. You wanted all of it.

You smiled back at him before getting called over by Ayane and Himari. You took one last glance at Tobio who was already walking away before jogging back over to your two best friends.

'Is this what people call... no, it's not that far. Is it?'

You think while waiting for your brother to pick you up, considering Ayane and Himori had already left. You couldn't stop thinking about it, that moment. His smile.
