Meanwhile with M/N:
"AH, don't cry! No no please don't!" M/N screeched out as he stared into the magical bowl.

X was just casually sipping a cup of tea across M/N as he watched M/N cry out in mild amusement.

-

Ah look it's another flower!

"Shut up X." M/N called out with tears streaming down his face.

At this rate, you can open a flower store M/N.

"Really? That's your priority?" M/N narrowed his eyes.

What else am I supposed to focus on?
The meaning behind the flowers?

"... There are meanings?"

Yeah duh. 🙄

"Do you mind...?"

What?

M/N only looked at X with a deadpan stare.

Oh, you wanted to know the meanings behind those flowers?

M/N sighed. "Yes."

Well, I see a lot of guilt from Oikawa's flower, he seeks for forgiveness M/N.

M/N let out a puff of air helplessly. Oikawa didn't need for him to forgive him, Oikawa did nothing wrong.

Hm, Semi thinks you're strong. Lots of perseverance... Or was the meaning foolishness? Ah, whatever.

X shook his head as he looked at M/N who was still staring into the bowl of water like he's some Disney princess.

"Oh wowww, Semi thinks so highly of me"

M/N clasps his hands tightly together in an almost swooning notion.

Didn't I say it could be foolishness?

M/N continues to swoon. X sighs.

Moving on... Ah, Camellias. The colors are pretty important. Hmm, milk boy yearns, interesting. Turnip head admires, and sleepy boy... OH!
My, my, my M/N.

M/N reluctantly tore his eye line away from the magical bowl for a moment as he heard X almost whistle amusedly.

"What is it? Why did you stop halfways?"

Red Camelias M/N. Red Camelias.

"???"

Ah, whatever. Next!

"Huh? What? X! Tell me!"

X smiled stiffly as he only pretended to not hear M/N as he casually brushed off M/N's pleading and continued.

Oh! Hedgehog called you a fool though with a hint of complimenting you for having endurance.
But, a fool's a fool!
Plus he's being so damn funny like insulting you while stating that he needs you, pretty ironic if I must say so myself.

"Oh, Iwa..." M/N uttered out as he sees the look of yearning in the depths of Iwaizumi's eyes.

-

"OH MY LORD! OLD MAN JUST PRAISED ME! HALLELUJAH!" M/N screamed out excitedly as he hopped around the empty room.

"He said he was proud of me! Hah! Take that!" M/N continued to squeal feeling his heart warm up at the sight of Washijo's recognition.

Hearing the next words of Washijo, M/N let out an awkward whistle as X could be seen shaking his head in the background, "Too late old man, too latee! You've just propelled my ego, it's skyrocketing!"

Ten minutes later after M/N had come down from his high, he looked at X once more, his eyes blinking cutely.

X sighed.

Demon coach's flower highlights loyalty and faithfulness.
Wow, what a high praise for you M/N.

"OH WOW. I KNEW OLD MAN LOVED ME! HAH!" M/N punched the air in exuberantly for a second, completely forgetting about the information that X had decided to withhold from the day before.

"I'm so touched... *Sniff*" M/N wiped a tear away from the corner of his eye, feeling absolute warmth that Washijo had praised him for a job well done.

-

M/N was applauding happily as he grinned excitedly at the fact that Oikawa had just informed him of some good news!
Though they didn't win Shiratorizawa, Oikawa has won the best setter award! That's worth celebrating 🥂.

Despite M/N already knowing that Oikawa would win the award, it felt entirely different when personally experienced and told. M/N was so elated that he had managed to infect his happiness to his physical body, causing the heart rate monitor to pick up the speeding heart of M/N.

"Congratulations Oikawa senpai." M/N beamed as an airy grin graced his lips.

-

"Eita made it..." M/N muttered under his breath as he maintained a plank position while still gazing into the magical bowl.

Another enlivening shock traveled through M/N's system as he sees Eita happily waving the Shiratorizawa sports scholarship letter.

M/N felt so proud of his senpai at that moment.
However, that didn't last as Eita began to tear up.

M/N's heart squeezed painfully but X couldn't do anything about it. X had told him that he had to rely on himself to wake up, X had no control over that.
And M/N really wanted to wake up, rather desperately in fact. But he just didn't know how. Thus M/N could only stare helplessly into the bowl.

-

"OMG IS THAT TENDOU?? I SEE THE RED HAIR AH!" M/N screeched as he got a glimpse of his favorite Haikyuu character with Semi.

Hearing this, X's face soured while his body tensed up as he swiftly dragged the magical bowl away from M/N.

"Hey X! You can't just take that away!" M/N whined as he tried to tackle X to get the bowl back.

Nuh-uh M/N.
You should be practicing right now. Training yourself to become stronger. You're getting way too distracted recently. So, as your lovable friend, you've left me no choice but to confiscate this bowl till you've completed your daily exercises and drills. ☺️

"What?! But that's not fair!" M/N whined as he looks pleadingly at X.

X's face may have softened a little but he stayed firm. Plus, as he reminded himself as to why M/N wanted the bowl back (to ogle at some middle blocker), X huffed and turned away.

"Damn it X." M/N grumbled as he went back to training.

-

"Ah, I'm 14 already... At least I managed to celebrate my 13th birthday in the first year of middle school with them all." M/N sighed as he stared longingly at the bowl, watching as everyone hung around his hospital room singing him a nice happy birthday song.

Don't look too sad M/N.
You shall continue to work hard in your practice and body refining right now. You can't just waste all this time. Take this time to hone and improve your skills. After all, didn't I tell you that all your progress here would be actually transferred to your physical body?

"I suppose, but it just feels so wrong that I'm here while they're all waiting for me to return." M/N gazed wistfully at everyone, looking on as they neatly piled his gifts in a corner.

*Sigh*
Here, happy birthday M/N.

X's blonde hair covered his eyes as his hands were outstretched holding a small nicely wrapped present giving it to M/N shyly.

M/N looked confused for a moment, glancing at the gift in X's hand in concern, eyeing it as if it was going to explode.

Don't look so shocked and wary at me, seriously. I assure you my gift is not going to blow up.
Promise.

M/N let out a puff of air, forcefully ripping himself away from the magic bowl as he gingerly grasps the present away from X's hands.

Slowly tearing the wrapping, M/N was pleasantly surprised at not only the fact that X didn't lie to him about the gift not going to explode, but also that X took the present seriously and did not send a gag gift.

M/N smiled softly as he pulled out the necklace that X had gifted him. It had a classic unisex design(a black rope/chain) with a shiny pendant of the letter X attached.

"Thank you X, it looks beautiful." M/N grinned as he looked at X with a smile that could part seas.

X huffed lightly as he nodded gruffly turning away to hide the tinge of pink that briefly dusted his cheeks.

-

"Hm, the storyline seems to still be intact... Ah yes, a²+b²=c²." M/N nodded to himself as he watched the bowl almost daily to catch a glimpse of which part of the story he was at already.

X casually strolled into the room where M/N sat cross-legged in front of his portable table trying to study while occasionally glancing at the magical bowl that stood at the edge of the desk.
Without much thought, X sprawled onto the ground carelessly, resting his head on the thigh of M/N and his blonde locks bestrewn across M/N's skin.

Despite that, M/N made no obvious reaction as he continued to study trigonometry uttering something about a hypotenuse while occasionally patting X's soft hair.

Hm, everything looks to be going alright M/N.

"I know, and I'm glad. After all, I'm really afraid that I would mess something up. Destroying the plot of Haikyuu."

I can't fully guarantee this M/N, but as the system, I can assure you that the system does its best to keep the world from crumbling apart. Minimizing any butterfly effect that your presence may have created.

"Hm, that's good to hear." M/N hummed.
