Will the goose and crow still be able to fly with fragile wings?
...Sugawara Koushi X Ballerina...
...❅。°❆· 。*.❅· °。·❆...
"Well, today will be announced dancers who will participate in the show next month."
A female dance instructor began to read out the names that passed the selection. Those who are called are very happy. While the unnamed feel nervous, including you.
You are sitting among dozens of ballerina girls who also expect her name to be called that. Obviously, anyone would want to participate in the biggest cultural performances of the Prefecture.
Moreover, you, as a student in the last year must be hoping to perform before graduating. However, bad possibilities cannot be avoided. Out of the dozens of participants, only about twenty people were selected. And...
"Alright, that's all that is considered capable of participating in the show. Please prepare yourself, the theme of our show later is Swan Lake. So many...."
In the end, your name will never be called.
.... ☪︎ ☁︎. . ✰ .· ☁︎ . ✧ ....
You sit on a park bench, facing the sunset light reflected on the lake water. You are lethargic, moody and demoralized after hearing the results of the selection just now.
It turns out.I do suck, yeah...
You close your eyes, try to calm yourself. All of a sudden..
"(Name)!" call someone.
You reflexively look back, looking like a man in a black jersey is coming towards you.
"Koushi-kun?"
He, Sugawara Koushi, setter of Karasuno High School volleyball team. The light gray-haired man immediately took a sitting position beside you.
"How did you know I was here?" your tank.
"Obviously I know. After all, which other place would you go when you were depressed."
"I-I'm not depressed, tuh."
"Lied."
"Really-"
"Turning off your phone all day, you'll only do it when you're moody, right?"
"I-it's because my cell phone's gone."
"As far as I'm concerned, you're not the one who likes to let cell phone batteries run out."
You shut up, can't say any more words. The truth is that Suga does understand a lot about you.
You ducked, squeezed your uniform skirt. Soon enough, those tears escaped wetting your cheeks. You're crying sob. Suga looked at you pity, his hand automatically pulling your head into his arms. Cuddling you, stroking your hair while soothing.
"Koushi-kun, how is this.hiks..I-never had a chance to perform, hiks.i do suck," you said sobbing.
"Ssh.Don't talk like that. (Name) doesn't suck at all. You're a great man" Suga said, his chin placed on the top of your head.
"But first-class Kana-chan has been chosen as the lead dancer. I haven't performed since first grade. Wh why? Why am I not as good as him?" your protest.
Anyone will not stand it, when there is a new junior but has been appointed to keep the position you want.
Suga himself felt it too. When his genius underclassman takes a position as a regular while himself as a reserve player. Feels painful.
"I understand how you feel, (Name)."
I understand very well, inner Suga.
"I've been training hard all this time. Turns out it wasn't enough. Why?"
"(Name).if you've been training hard while your friend is still better, that means your efforts haven't been as big as his efforts."
You stop your crying and then look up. Suga looked smiling while stroking your long mane.
"Before you get what you want, you have to be solid to get it." Sugawara said motivatingly, "Well, even if I say so, I myself make no difference, anyway." Sugawara chuckled as he scratched his head.
"Confirming?"
"Um, I learned a lot from looking at my juniors. He was a volleyball maniac, training tirelessly every day. Well, from there it can prove, that he really deserves the position."
Sniffs...
"Oh, yeah..."
"Yes. Well, for a while rest first. Then think about what I said." said Suga, "Now, let's go get some food! You won't be able to think if your stomach is empty."
You nodded weakly, then obeyed his words. You two stopped by one of the ramen shops for dinner. After that Suga drove you home.
Today was bad enough, but you still feel lucky. Whenever your heart is overwhelmed with sadness, Suga always comes to comfort you. He also always gives a word of motivation that will arouse you, even though you know Suga himself is not that strong.
.... ☪︎ ☁︎. . ✰ .· ☁︎ . ✧ ....
"(Name)- Senpai, don't want to go home?"
"I'm still training a little bit more."
"We go first, yeah..."
The girls waved and left you. As they go they whisper to each other, but you can hear them.
"Shhh... (Name) those senpai, when he didn't perform but why should he train so hard?"
"Right, there's no point. His last chance was gone, too."
"There's so much love..."
You breathe patiently. There is no point in responding to their words. Because, you have made the determination not to give up until there.
.... ☪︎ ☁︎. . ✰ .· ☁︎ . ✧ ....
"I'm sorry, Koushi-kun.it seems like I can't watch your match tomorrow. I promised before,"
"It's okay, really. You also did not expect, right? If the show is postponed and coincides with the final inter high."
"Yes. Moreover, sensei asked us to continue to help with his preparation even though he did not perform."
"Yes, it's okay. So how? Have you made your decision?"
"I will fight until it is deemed appropriate to get it" you said with fiery eyes.
Suga smiled as he patted the top of your head. "Good.." he said.
"Ano... Koushi-kun's..."
"Hm?"
The cup!
"E-eto.." i..." You suddenly follow me nervously, "Ga-ga-gan—batte."
Sugawara stared for a moment, while you turned your eyes in the other direction. Your face is as red as a tomato.
"Arigatou.." said Suga and hugged you, "Let's fight together! You fly with your wings, I'll fly with my wings."
You smile. knot and nod. "Dam!!"
.... ☪︎ ☁︎. . ✰ .· ☁︎ . ✧ ....
Inter-High final match of spring, Prefectural level preliminary round will begin. Shiratorizawa Academy against Karasuno High School!
"(Name)!"
You hurriedly turned off your phone, leaving the live streaming broadcast of the match.
"Yes, sensei?"
"Change your clothes!"
"Eh?"
Your eyes suddenly caught a girl on a stretcher.
"Who, Kana-chan?! What's wrong with her?" tanyamu worry.
"His heartburn is relapsing, he stubbornly doesn't want to eat from yesterday," replied sensei, "So you have to replace it."
"Eh? Replacing Kana-chan's position? Means...I'm going to be Odette?"
"true."
"Sensei, it's not fair!" suddenly one of the dancers protested, "(Name) did not even pass the selection, but why was he even appointed as the main character?"
"It was a month ago." sergei sensei, "After that selection, I saw (Name) still practicing. Does not rule out the possibility that his ability has increased, right?"
"But sensei—"
"If you're going to protest, you're supposed to be steadying yourself more than (Name) did!" tukas.
Uh! So this is what Koushi kun meant at the time?
"(Name), get ready immediately." Sensei ordered, "We only have an hour. Spend thirty minutes rehearsing with the other dancers."
"Ba-good!"
.... ☪︎ ☁︎. . ✰ .· ☁︎ . ✧ ....
Bugh!
"Nice!"
At the gymnasium, a fierce match is still going on. Two sets have been passed, the result is a series. In this final set, each team maximized all their abilities to win the game.
"Also!"
"Yes, coach?"
"Seplace Kageyama!"
"Eh?"
"The condition is not good, the opponent blocker continues to pressure him from earlier. If it continues, we can miss the last set. Now it's your turn, play!"
Sugawara gawked in disbelief.
"What's wrong? You don't want—"
"I'll do it!!!" exclaiming the fiery Sugawara. Coach Ukai smiled satisfied to see his spirit.
Well, in reality, Sugawara was already looking forward to the opportunity.
.... ☪︎ ☁︎. . ✰ .· ☁︎ . ✧ ....
You run around, not caring about the people who look at you in wonder.
The white dress and the fur on the head that you are wearing clearly caught their attention. You look like a goose princess. After you finished performing at the show earlier, you hurriedly left without changing your clothes.
May the match not be over, your mind.
You entered the sports hall. From there you have heard the hymn played, indicating the match is over. Then how did it go?
Cheers were heard breaking up the entire building. You who just arrived in the stands were staring at the side of the field.
Uh!
"Congratulations to Karasuno High School, which will represent Miyagi to the Spring National Championship!"
You see it, the volleyball boys seemed to rejoice in celebrating their victory. Including Sugawara, who is touted as a hero who gives a toss for the scorer of the last point.
Your eyes are teary, feeling moved. "Kohsi-kun!!!" yell from above.
Sugawara spontaneously turned. He saw you in that beautiful ballerina outfit.
"(Name)?" Sugawara rounded his eyes, amazed. "He..really perform!" muttered.
"Are? Who's that beautiful ballerina?" Tanaka and Nishinoya are fascinated.
"He's..." Suga turned to his friends, "My girlfriend."
"Heeeeeeeh???!!!"
You hurriedly descended down and ran towards Sugawara. "Koushi-kun!" your yell.
You jumped at him. Suga caught you, hugged you tight. You two laughed happily.
Really, your behavior makes other children jealous to see it.
"(Name), congratulations! You can finally perform!" sugawara said he was happy.
"Yes! Koushi-kun, this is thanks to what you said."
"Good job, (Name)!"
"Congratulations on your victory, Koushi-kun!!"
And finally..... The swans and crows were self-reflecting and flying with their own wings.
...End's....
