Your boyfriend, Asahi, is the proud ace of his volleyball team, a role he takes seriously and excels at with every match. You're the team's manager, a job that you love, but also one that often places you in the role of the "parent friend." You’re always there, making sure the guys stay hydrated, handing out snacks, and making lunch for them when they're too busy to grab something for themselves. You're like the glue that holds them together, organizing everything and checking in on them with a warm, caring smile.
One afternoon, you walked into the school's gym to see the team practicing. The sound of shoes squeaking against the floor and the rhythmic thud of volleyballs filled the air. As soon as a few of the players noticed you entering, their faces lit up. Some of them waved enthusiastically, pausing their drills to greet you. Nishinoya and Tanaka, always the energetic duo, sprinted towards you, grinning from ear to ear as they started chatting with you like you were the highlight of their day.
"Manager-chan!" Tanaka called, his voice full of excitement. "What’s for lunch today? I’m starving!"
Nishinoya, never one to be outdone, chimed in, "Yeah, are you bringing us something special?"
You chuckled, feeling the warmth of their energy. It was moments like these, surrounded by the team, that made you realize just how much they appreciated your presence. You could feel how genuine their smiles were, how they valued your care and support.
