Metanoia

Uniform orders and surprises

"Thank you for taking care of the order sensei." Said Tobio as he bowed to the teacher. He had been running late to practice today because he had a doctor's appointment after school only to remember that he also had to pick up the boys' jerseys. Thankfully, the appointment had been quick. The doctor only wanted to tell him that he would be able to walk without his crutches, all he had to do was not put to much pressure on his knee and he would be good.

"No problem at all Kageyama-kun, just take care and don't push yourself too much." Nodding Tobio gave him one last thanks before making his way towards the gym. Today the coach didn't have much planned, so Tobio was sure the team would be having free practice. Maybe he could show new attacks they could use. Most of them were from his dad's notes but they were helpful.

Walking the rest of the way Tobio slowed down his pace as he grew closer to the gym. Fully stopping he opened the door and was met with the sound of shoes squeaking and volleyballs hitting the ground. Atsumu and Osamu were practicing serves as Akagi and Ginjima received them. Omimi and Aran were stretching while the rest of the team was scattered around the gym. They all stopped what they were doing and turned their attention to Tobio.

"Tobio-kun, I thought you had an appointment today?" asks Atsumu as he made his way towards Tobio. The raven head gave him a small grin, "Yeah, thankfully it ended early and I had time left so I thought about picking out the jerseys." He lifted the box to show the team.

Sounds of understanding went throughout the gym while Tobio walked towards the coach, he had to try and hide his giggles. They hadn't noticed him walking without the crutches yet and he wanted to see their reaction when they did notice. Standing next to the coach Tobio opened the box once it was settled down on the bench. Coach Kurotsu gave him a questioning look before realization hit him.

Giving him a small smile the coach only shook his head and ruffled his hair. Tobio giggled and handed him half of the uniforms while the other half he gave to coach Tarou. Making sure that the uniforms were all out of the box Tobio clapped his hands to call the attention of his team.

"Alright, everyone gather around!"

Everyone took a seat in front of them and Tobio walked in front of them as he made a headcount to make sure everyone was there. Not even reaching the number six did his team noticed the lack of crutches. "Wait Tobio-kun you don't have your crutches!"

"Yeah, where are your crutches!"

"Hey, Tobio-kun can finally walk on his own!"

Tobio tried to contain his laughter but it didn't work, it soon burst out and he covered his mouth even though it did nothing to help.

He was so busy laughing at his team's reaction that he didn't notice how Suna took a picture of him and saved it on his 'favorite moments' folder. Calming down, the blue-eyed boy took a deep breath and gave them a bright smile. "Yes, thank you for noticing. I no longer need the crutches, but I can't run nor push my knee too much."

Shinsuke nodded at what he said, he hadn't been able to accompany Tobio to the doctors, but his grandmother did it, so he didn't have to worry. Soon the gym calmed down and Tobio stood next to the coaches as he pulled out his clipboard to check and make sure they handed the right jersey to the right person. Checking one more time to see that everyone was there Tobio began distributing the jerseys.

"Number one, Kita Shinsuke."

Tobio saw the surprise on his cousin's face even if others couldn't. Shinsuke kept a blank face as Tobio handed him his jersey. Giving him a small grin, Tobio could already see the emotions running through his brown eyes as he sat down. It was no surprise when Shinsuke began to cry as he hugged the uniform to his chest, Tobio may not know how he feels but he did know that Shinsuke was feeling happiness. Even if he shed tears, it was clear the boy was feeling proud of himself.
