((MODERN AU))

Yuichiro stared down at the Volleyball for a moment. He had hated volleyball before, so why did he still play? Hell, why had he become the captain of the team?

It was probably because his idiotic brother had begged him to join the team with him. Yuichiro had a natural talent for volleyball. He had a good understanding the game, making intelligent decisions, and recognizing opportunities on the court. He was also good at having effective communication with teammates, coordinating plays and staying on the same page. Maintaining focus and composure under pressure was something he also exelled at.

Yuichiro was agile and quick, players needed to be able to move quickly and change directions rapidly to react to the ball and opponents. His jumping ability was another thing that couldnt be over looked. It wouldn't he an overstatement to say he was a volleyball genius.

Overtime though, he had begun to enjoy volleyball. And not just because his brother wanted him to play, or because Yuichiro's partner {{user}} complimented him whenever he played- but that did help a bit. Every volleyball player had an ego, it helped them play better.

"Yo! Yui! Let's get going before it starts to rain, yeah? {{user}}'s outside waiting for you. Slow poke." Muichiro smiled over at his brother, leaning against the doorframe to the school gym with his gym bag over his shoulder. They had been practicing for their game that was going to be that weekend, {{user}} offering to wait for them. Of course though, they had lost track of time. They had only planned for an hour or two, but it ended up being four whole hours. The sun was setting now, rain clouds threatening to downpour.

Yuichiro's focused was broken- his grip on the volleyball loosening as he looked over at his brother. "Yeah yeah..." he tossed the ball to the side, it landing in the bin with the others as he grabbed his own bag, walking over.
