Wreck This Journal [Various x Reader] 43/???

Page 43…

The familiar ring of the front door's bell reaches Ukai's ears and his eyes flicker up toward it. He grunts out a welcome as he sets the magazine in his hands down on the counter before him, noticing the familiar young girl who happened to waltz into his family's store. Behind her, another familiar teenager walked in as well, his orange hair seeming even wilder than normal due to the wind blowing outside. Hinata and [Name] both chirped out their own hellos to the volleyball coach as they immediately walked over to their favorite items. Hinata's mouth instantly started to drool as he eyes out the meat buns that were on display. He would probably end up buying three—maybe four—of them.

"You guys out practicing again?" Ukai asked as he idly went back to skimming his magazine, knowing full well what the answer to his question would be.

"Yeah!" Hinata excitedly cheered, "[Name]-chan is helping me with my receives! We're on break right now."

Ukai couldn't help but grin when he noticed the small trickle of disappointment in Hinata's voice at his last statement. Of course Hinata would be upset that he had to pause his training momentarily, but the promise of meat buns would certainly cheer him up once more.

"Oh!"

Out of the corner of his eye, Ukai noticed [Name] staring at the rack of magazines and newspapers that were near the register. Her mouth hung open in slight awe as she pointed animatedly at one of the newspapers. She was bouncing slightly on her heel, her eyes darting back and forth between the newspaper and her friend.

"Hinata-kun, it's you! Look, it's you!"

Quickly, [Name] snatched up the newspaper from its stand and brought it over to said male, her hands crinkling the paper as she clutched it with enthusiasm. She held it up at arm's length, facing the front page picture towards her best friend. Hinata had to physically stop her from bouncing so he could get a better look at the picture.

"Eh? I don't see me…"

Huffing a bit, [Name] turned the picture back towards her and scanned the picture once more. It was a large picture of a crowd from the most recent volleyball game, the people in the picture hardly recognizable. She pointed at the very corner of the photograph, an orange and black blur which was facing away from the camera barely visible. Hinata stared at the blur for a moment, eyes scrunching up a bit as he scrutinized it closely.

"Oh… Oh!" Suddenly the newspaper was in Hinata's grasp as he took it from [Name], holding it up with pride. "I'm in a newspaper! Uwah! This is so exciting!"

"It has to go in my journal!" [Name] suggested, grabbing Hinata's hand as they ran out of the store in search for the book.

"Oi!" Ukai yelled after them, shaking an angry fist. "Quit leaving without paying for things, damnit!"
