KAGEYAMA

It's Wednesday afternoon, our second week of practicing.

Hinata's been doing surprisingly well, but he still isn't at the right level. I'm not exactly sure when we're gonna perform or what songs we're doing yet, but he definitely needs to be prepared to play the guitar and sing at the same time.

...

Wait. I haven't even heard him sing yet, have I?

Tanaka is actually the only one who has. And we haven't decided on any songs yet, so it's not like we've really had any chances to hear him.

Thinking back to about a year ago, I'm pretty sure the second-years were still undecided on music. Obviously, there were more second-years last year than just Tanaka and Nishinoya, but they quit the club to focus on their studies. Which I guess, considering they wouldn't actually get a chance to perform as third-years, makes sense.

I walk up the stairs to see Hinata standing alone in front of the closed clubroom doors.

He seems intently focused on something on his phone until he notices me walking towards him. Once he sees me, his head shoots up.

"No one else's here yet?" I say, stopping in front of him.

He shakes his head. "No, not yet."

I let out a sigh and check my watch. "I guess everyone else is late. Would it kill them to get here at the right time?"

He pauses, looking down at his phone, then back up at me. "You actually got here one minute late, so technically you weren't on time either."

"Ah--Shut up."

He laughs.

Nishinoya comes next.

A few more minutes pass before I say, "So...Is Tanaka gonna be here anytime soon?"

He crosses his arms and leans onto a wall behind him.

"Relax, he'll be here."

Then Tsukishima and Yamaguchi walk up to us. "Sorry, we're--" Yamaguchi stops. "Wait. Where's Tanaka? Shouldn't he be here by now?"

I shake my head. Nishinoya says the same thing to Yamaguchi that he said to me earlier.

I guess Nishinoya was right because no more than a few minutes later, we hear a familiar voice slowly getting louder and louder through the stairwell.

"Allllll right!"

Once Tanaka arrives at the clubroom door, Hinata jumps a few feet forward. "Tanaka-Senpai!"

Tanaka grins at us. "Everyone, get inside--I have news!" After hearing this, we all make it into the room quickly before sitting down in our regular seats.

"So," He slams his hands down on a small desk in front of him. On top of that desk, I notice, are a couple of sheets of paper.

"Surprise time." His face still has the same grin as before.

"...Spit it out," Tsukishima says.

Nishinoya whispers, "That's not how you speak to your elders!", but Tanaka waves him off.

"I got you guys got a show!"

...

Fuck yes.

I silently bring down my fist down in celebration as I hear various small cheers throughout the room.

"Hear that, Tsukki?" Yamaguchi stands up from his chair, patting Tsukishima's shoulder and laughing. But it's clear from the smile on Tsukishima's face that he has. Nishinoya is still sitting, but clapping at Tanaka.
