You were the manager for Nekoma High school's male volleyball team. You were also in the same class and year as Kuroo who pushed you to take the job and help the team out. You always enjoyed working with the other team members, all of them being interesting and caring friends.

But sadly having a perfect friend group didn't mean that the bullies would be gone.

A small group of students in your year decided it would be fine and even hilarious to point out all the little flaws you had, making you incredibly self-conscious. You didn't want to tell the Nekoma team because why would you wanted to place extra burden on them when the Spring Championship was just on the corner.

So you just bottled all the fustration and decided to keep them to yourself. You knew that you would sooner or later just break but you didn't had time to think about it now.

Now you were curled up in your room, letting all the stuff your bullies hit to your head flood you now. You were praying that someone would just ring or text you now so you'd have anything else to focus on rather than your own thoughts.

That was when your prayers were answered when your mother shouted that Kuroo arrived and she already sent him upstairs, and your door opened with the tall rooster headed middle blocker standing there with a cheeky grin. He didn't wait for any sound from you, closing the door behind himself he plopped down next to you and tilted his head to the side.

"Soo, you've been acting off for the last two weeks, where did you hide your usually so cheerful side? It's taking a toll on the others too y'know" He placed his pointer fingers on the corners of your lips and turned them upwards hoping to at least get a small chuckle out from you
