Lacing up his skates, Hinata took a deep breath. His teammates wouldn't laugh at him or call him a girl for doing something feminine, they wouldn't make fun of him if he fell. They were like Kouji and Izumi, they'd help him up rather than kick him while he's down.

Hinata slipped into the ice, watching as Kageyama, flat faced as ever, shot him a thumbs up. They should totally skate together after this! Kageyama would probably trip over his feet every two seconds though... They'd have to practically hug the entire time if he wanted to keep his setter upright! Hm, maybe it wouldn't be so bad...

He skated a basic routine, about a dozen jumps and loops sprinkled in. Despite it's simplicity, his teammates and family ,minus Stingyshima, predictably, clapped for him. He wasn't done yet though.

Picking up speed, he braced himself for the jump that would make or break the performance. Not to mention the bet, owing Lev a favour was never fun.

He grinned on his final lap. He forgot how much fun skating was. Almost as great as volleyball. It was like...gliding, rather than flying. Still incredible, but not as good.

At the peak up the jump, he nearly messed up from the sudden urge to laugh right then and there, barely pulling off a smooth finish.

Sliding to a halt in front of his audience, Hinata dropped into a dramatic bow. He heard loud applause and looked up with a smile on his face. Stepping off the ice, he undid his laces and took of the skates.

"How did I do guys?", He asked, picking up his skates.

"Awesome!", Nishinoya cheered. "That was so cool!"

Hinata turned to Lev, smirking. "Told you so! Nyeeeeh!" He stuck his tongue out.

Lev grumbled, but nodded. "You win. I owe you a favour."

"Nice!" He cheered, as Yuuri and Viktor smiled proudly while they watched. Yuri, begrudgingly congratulated him on the impressive jump. Most of his teammates either stood in shock or clapped him on the back and told him he did good. It was...amazing.

Kenma ruffled his hair. "Good job, Sho-chan.", he murmured, smiling softly.

"Would...it be possible to play volleyball on ice?", Kageyama muttered.

"No no, silly!", Hinata scolded, bopping him on the nose. "Our libero would die!"

Nishinoya yelped. "Daichi! Kageyama's trying to kill me!"

Hinata laughed, fumbling with his shoes as he tried to tie the laces on his sneakers. He looked over at Kageyama, who was engaged in a stiff conversation with Kenma, who was mostly cowering away from the many questions his setter was asking.

Sighing, Hinata stood. He should probably go help...
