I loved your take on this! How you made it volleyball and not specifically Haikyuu!! <3 I do wish you'd worked in a bit more on showing the relationship/friendship side more and not just the volleyball/game side, but the warnings did say long-winded step-by-step athletic instructions XD The humor was gold! Tao tightening Jongdae's sleeves hahah did not see that one coming. Team manager Amber was also an unexpected surprise!

My favorite moments:

Angry Zitao! \o/ “Get serious, or get out.”

After a while, they'll go back to teasing Zitao. He's always the easiest target.”
POOR BB

while the closest Jongdae had ever gotten to weightlifting of any sort were hefting his text books and his grandma's fat toy poodle.
OTL LOL

Checking out Zitao's ass during practice! \o/

WEEKEND CAMP \o/

And Jongdae needed to stop cooing and pay attention, because the next thing he knew, Zitao was in his personal bubble, and their foreheads were touching.
“Zitao?”
MY HEART x___x

“I control the court. It has nothing to do with you, personally. Everything

I do wish I'd spent more time on the relationship, but as I was writing, I realised I really do not have any kind of handle on either of them. So I stuck more with what I knew, and I know volleyball. I am pleased that you enjoyed it, regardless. I did try, and I had fun writing it.

\o/ IT WAS GREAT! Do you play volleyball? I used to play back in highschool :D I loved it!

[canadaphile]

I used to, and my mom coached and played on a recreational league for some years before injuring her knee in a fall. It's still my favourite sport. /w\
