"So, what song do you think reflects you Kageyama?"

"Uh..."

The team were just talking and relaxing on their break during after school practise. Tanaka and Noya had been shouting the lyrics to Mr Brightside and Suga said the song sort of suited them. This led to their current conversations, singing songs that reflected them. For Daichi it was Believer by Imagine Dragons; for Hinata it was Stronger by Kelly Clarkson.

"Do you relate to a song Kageyama?"

"Um," the setter took a moment to think, "there is one I guess."

"Can you sing it? I bet you're a really good singer." Daichi asked and the first year nodded.

"Yeah, I'd rather be a lover than a fighter, 'cause all my life, I've been fighting..."

Daichi and Asahi were heading up to the clubroom to get ready when they heard it. Shouting noises coming from the room. They knew the voice immediately, yet there was no other voice to accompany it.

"Why won't you-!"

"I can't-!"

They shared a concerned look before reaching the top of the stairs and sliding open the door. Kageyama was standing in the centre of the room with his back facing away from them. He hadn't noticed their arrival, to occupied by whomever he was talking to. After another minute or so the first year hung up the phone call and struggled to suppress his cries. He ran a hand through his hair and took a deep breath in and out.

"Kageyama?" Daichi asked and immediately the ravenette froze up.

"Are you okay?" Asahi asked.

"Y-yeah, fine. Don't worry about me."

"Are you sure?"

The third years watched as Kageyama went over to his locker to start getting ready, refusing to look over at them in fear of them seeing his most likely red eyes and blushed cheeks. He simply nodded his head as a response to the captain's question and silence filled the room as the three boys changed.

More and more of the team arrived until they were all ready to go and practise. But Kageyama had been changing a lot slower than usual so Daichi managed to grab him alone before they went downstairs. By now Kageyama's flush had settled down and there was only a faint red tint around his eyes.

"Kageyama?"

"Yeah?" the setter asked as he went to step out of the room; when he turned around he looked down at the sight of a concerned looking Daichi and Asahi.

"Are you okay?"

"I've already said I'm fine. Really." Kageyama assured the ace, but failed to hide his clenched fist that stopped his shaking.

"Are you sure? You can tell us anything, you know that right?"

"I know."

"Then why won't you tell us? Something is bothering you. So, are you really okay?" Asahi asked in a gentle voice.

Kageyama nodded his head to assure them he was alright. But too soon the nod turned to a shake and he held a hand over his mouth to stop himself from breaking down. Daichi immediately noticed and pulled the first year into a hug- Asahi soon joining- not knowing what the problem was but knowing Kageyama needed comfort.
