I, Tomioka, Start Playing Volleyball

I'm Tomioka Giyu, but not every flower blooms in spring, so this is a collection of modern ordinary-person AUs

A lighthearted story

*

Tomioka Giyu leaves Tokyo, where he's lived his whole life, and heads to Aoba Johsai in Miyagi. After some hesitation, he decides to join the volleyball club.

Luckily, there's a warm and friendly classmate: Kunimi Akira! And his friend from the class next door, Kindaichi. They're good at volleyball and sweet talkers, and I like them.

See, Sensei? I can live just fine on my own in a new place. Don't worry!

Giyu looks warmly at his two friends in the same grade.

Kindaichi and Kunimi shudder. They turn around and see the aloof, haughty Tomioka, famous throughout the school for his cold demeanor, staring at them expressionlessly.

They instinctively rack their brains, dark clouds gathering overhead, lightning flashing. Oh no, was our practice match just that bad?! (Kunimi: Was I even playing?)

Everyday life

*

At first, everyone thinks Tomioka Giyu is cold, quiet, and a genius.

Then, after spending a long time with him...

Turns out, that's exactly right!

His stamina is incredible. He plays for two hours straight, and while even the third-years are exhausted and sprawled on the floor, Giyu alone stands tall on the court, face unflushed, with only a little sweat and slightly labored breathing.

!!!! Where did this monster come from? Everyone is stunned.

In reality, Giyu is exhausted too, but he's stubbornly staying on his feet. Cute.jpg

Fearlessly challenges his seniors

"Haha, Oikawa-senpai, you're so helpful! Why not show your adorable junior how to set the ball today, out of the kindness of your heart?"

Giyu: "Don't mind me."

I'm not worth all the effort you're putting into me.

What Oikawa Tooru hears: "You're useless. With skills like yours, you think you're qualified to teach me?"

Oikawa Tooru's hand trembles. His impulsive body is restrained by Iwa-chan.

Oikawa Tooru, out.

But when you play volleyball, your teammates are all on the same side of the net. A person's true nature always shows in the little things.

And so everyone is surprised.

And so everyone is shocked.

And so everyone falls silent.

A little bit of everyone, mainly Aoba Johsai

*Please don't flame me if you don't like it. This is written at an elementary-school level, and I'm very sorry if the characters are out of character.

*Giyu is an ordinary person in a modern AU, but he's also very good at volleyball.

Well, the author has never played volleyball, so feel free to offer pointers about the sport.
