"Nice kill!"

"Go, Kiyoomi-san!" Hinata calls.

Atsumu's ready smile once again falters at the sight of the dark-haired male walking up to the white line of the court with a ball in his hand, pressed to his side. It's just a toss. Just give a toss to him. No big deal.

Sakusa takes a deep breath before tossing the ball into the air towards Atsumu, who sets the ball to Sakusa. The way the ball curves perfectly and spins in the air as if in slow motion catches Sakusa off-guard. The time spent together in the Training Camp years ago and the years apart had made Sakusa unfamiliar with the blonde's toss.

It's perfect.

Sakusa brings his poised arm down, slamming the ball down onto the court's floor.

Atsumu mentally curses himself. He almost forgot to set the ball, his mind starting to wander now that his former crush is here. Sakusa lands onto the floor, and he looks at Atsumu.

"Nice kill!" comes everyone's immediate response, but Atsumu doesn't say anything.

He tears his gaze away and plasters a fake smile on his face as he gestures for the next spiker to come forward. Sakusa's eyelids droop a little, and he averts his gaze down at the floor as he walks to the back of the court with his other teammates.

He wouldn't even say 'Nice kill'.

Let alone say hello.

Being in the same team as Atsumu would be worse than he thought it would be.

(￣^￣)ゞ

"The first week of being as a team would be reserved for team bonding, Coach says!" Hinata exclaims, spooning mouthfuls of rice into his already full mouth.

Sakusa, who sits opposite the orange-haired watches in disgust as some grains of rice spill out of his vigorously chewing mouth. He shakes his head before shovelling his spoon into his mouth.

"Did I hear team bonding?"

Bokuto happily walks over, balancing his tray of food, and alongside him trails Atsumu. Atsumu blinks as he looks at Sakusa sitting opposite Hinata. No, he won't sit near him. He can't. He shouldn't.

"Yeah! Team bonding! For one week!" Hinata says as the pair circle to the table. Bokuto places his tray down next to Sakusa's, which gives Atsumu a big wave of relief. He doesn't have to sit next to Sakusa.

Atsumu plops himself down onto the seat next to Hinata. Hinata smiles at Atsumu, and Atsumu sends one back, though the smile doesn't quite reach his eyes.

Atsumu glances at Sakusa, who is staring at Atsumu. Atsumu quickly looks down, picking his spoon up and digging it dip into his bowl of rice.

"So, do you know Atsumu-san, Sakusa-san?" Hinata asks. Sakusa looks up from his food. "Not really. I mean, not anymore," Sakusa replies.

"'Not anymore'? So you used to know each other?" Bokuto chimes in, curiosity building within him.

"I think we knew each other so well to the extent that we couldn't say that we just knew each other."

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
