[Haikyuu!!] On Zenitsu's Compatibility with Volleyball

Also known as The Libero Is Clearly Overpowered, Yet Way Too Timid

Watching Zenitsu Agatsuma act timid since childhood and constantly chase after girls, the Agatsuma family finally made up their minds: They couldn't let their son grow up like this. They had to raise him to be a man with unparalleled courage!

So, as soon as Zenitsu turned three, they unceremoniously signed him up for a volleyball class.

By the time he was fifteen, Zenitsu had finally made a little progress. For instance, when a volleyball came flying at him, he no longer ran around clutching his head.

And he stopped chasing after girls, too. Instead, he chased after boys...

Hajime Iwaizumi: "..."

Toru Oikawa: "...Hey."

Having a leg-ornament that pops up at any moment is a real pain.

Before the match, Aoba Johsai's new libero drew everyone's attention.

Fluffy, soft, golden hair, round eyebrows, gleaming golden cat eyes, and a habit of burying his head against his teammates' backs and rubbing against them...

He really looks like a golden-shaded cat, doesn't he?

The soft and adorable kind!

That is, until he cleanly received a spike from the Neon Cannon.

Everyone: ?

Zenzen-chan shouted through tear-filled eyes: "I'm not receiving any more! Waaah, my hands hurt! qwq"

Everyone: ??

This guy complains so loudly, but he doesn't slow down one bit when receiving the ball!

They thought he wouldn't be able to keep up this high-intensity style of receiving for long. But during the timeout, the Aoba Johsai crew pulled out two little cakes and fed him.

Zenzen-chan was back to full health.

Everyone: ???

Interview time.

Wakatoshi Ushijima: "This guy was born to be a libero." (Thoughtful look)

Kotaro Bokuto: "He's super cute when he cries! But it's annoying how he keeps guessing where my spikes will land!" (Dejected)

Shoyo Hinata: "Zenzen-chan really knows where every ball is going to land. It's amazing!!"

Osamu Miya: "He may always look like he's about to cry, but he's surprisingly reliable on the court."

Atsumu Miya: "Mmm...!" (Trying to speak, but someone's covering his mouth)

Sakusa: "...I hate the guy who wipes his tears on my hand."

A certain setter who wishes to remain anonymous: "Just a teary-eyed little cat bug!"

#My take on Zenitsu / lots of headcanons / definitely OOC

#This story is definitely loud (.)

#Aoba Johsai will win
