Shouyou was finally able to join the team with his new practice equipment, and he was amazing. His jumps are high - very high - and he was fast - faster than the thought was humanly possible.

If you took your eyes off of him for a mere millisecond, he was already on the other side of the court. And, just like that, Friday arrived, and they were off to Tokyo.

Shouyou sat beside Kageyama, who was having an internal conflict about whether or not to pet the ginger. They were talking for a good half of the way there until Shouyou yawned and stretched out over the raven's lap.

Soft purrs vibrated the raven's body as the ginger's tail flicked back and forth lazily. Ukai, who was sitting a seat in front of them, turned around at the lack of sound and saw Kageyama holding his hands up like he was being held hostage.

"Shou, get off of him," the coach reached over the seat and pulled at the back of Shouyou's collar (his shirt, guys), but he didn't budge. Instead, he began digging his nails in Kageyama's leg, forcing a hiss from his mouth.

"It's-It's fine," the first year muttered, thankful that the ginger's claws retracted. "Sorry, Kageyama," groaned Ukai, kneading his thumb and pointer finger into the bridge of his nose.

Shouyou tucked his nose between the raven's knees, breathing in before releasing the extra air he took in and relaxing once again.

Kageyama gulped, feeling a dark aura coming from behind him. Already knowing who was the cause of it, he continued petting the little ginger, thankful that the Neko wasn't afraid of him.

As the bus parked, Shouyou began jumping around everywhere, going up to random things and sniffing them. His team laughed at his excitement. "Shouyou, we're heading to the- Shouyou?" And just like that, everyone froze, staring at the empty spot the ginger was last standing in.

"Oh, God..."

-----

Shouyou walked into an alley of some sort, sniffing the air for the scent he had been following. When a person came into view, he grinned, going over and bending down in front of them. Startled, the person nearly dropped their PSP.

"Hi! You smell really nice! Like pie!" The ginger pulled at the male's pants leg, sniffing them a few times before rubbing his face against them. "U-Um, what-what are you-" Kenma stood and pulled away, staring at Shouyou strangely.

It was then, that he noted the ears, that flinched at his sudden actions, and his tail, that swished back and forth at the lack of warmth. Cute little whiskers grew from his fluffy cheeks, and he caught a glimpse of Shouyou's tongue poking out of his mouth to lick his lips.

"What... are you?" The ginger seemed confused at the question, standing up to walk closer to the pudding head, only for him to take a step back. "I'm Shouyou! I'm a human, like you! Sort of, ahaha!"

Shouyou reached a hand out to the pudding head, who awkwardly took it. "I'm sorry if I scared you! You just smell... so good." When the stranger pulled his hand away hesitantly, Shouyou brought his hand up to sniff it, a smile pulling his lips up.

"What's your name? Your hair looks like pudding. I think pudding's really pretty." Coughing into his hand, the stranger began questioned his mental sanity but decided to play along anyway. "Kozume... Kenma," he stated simply, fiddling with one of the buttons on his PSP.

"Pretty! Super pretty! I like you!" Kenma sat back onto the ledge he was previously on, watching Shouyou come over and crouch beside him after leaping onto the ledge.

"Volleyball?" Kenma's shoulders twitched at the sudden question, and he followed Shouyou's pointed finger, his eyes landing on the volleyball shoes sticking out of his bag. "Yeah... Do you play?" Kenma pointed at Shouyou's practice shirt, who smiled even wider and nodded.

"I'm a middle blocker! I bet you're a setter, right?" When the pudding head looked confused, Shouyou took his hand and spread his fingers, staring at them with awe sparkling in his beautiful eyes.

"Your fingers aren't exactly long, but if you look re~ally closely, you can see small callouses at the tips." Shouyou dragged one of his smaller fingers over the tip of Kenma's, causing a shiver to go down the pudding head's spine.

"I-I didn't know that..."

"Shouyou!" "Kenma!" Two people simultaneously shouted, both rushing over to their teammates. "Why'd you run off like that, Shouyou? We thought you got catnapped!" Sugawara cried, wrapping the ginger up in a tight hug.

"Are- Am I seeing this right?" The other newcomer questioned, pointing a confused look at the Neko pawing at Sugawara's back. Kenma nodded to his friend. "Heya, kitten~" The black-haired male flirted, urging Sugawara to pull Shouyou closer and flip him off.

"Your hair's weird," the ginger laughed out, reaching up to pet the stranger, only have his hand grabbed and gently being led out of the alley. "Sorry, but we need to go," bitterly spat Sugawara, a smile that didn't match his tone resting on his lips.

"Ah, but Kenma's- I want Kenma! Kenma!" The ginger reached out to the pudding head, who gulped and took a hold of the ginger's hand before he could walk away. "I'll-I'll see you later," he stuttered, smiling softly at the ginger.

Shouyou broke out of the grip on his wrist and leaped onto Kenma, tucking his nose into the pudding head's neck and audibly sniffing. "Sorry, Shouyou," muttered the silver-haired male, pulling something from his pocket.

"Bad!" Sugawara reprimanded, spraying water onto the ginger, who hissed and dropped onto the ground, wiping at the water dripping down his face with a pout.

Exhaling, the silver-haired male bid the two volleyball players farewell, lifting Shouyou off the ground and allowing him to wrap his legs and arms around his body.

"I want him, Kuroo," Kenma stated, pointing at the direction Shouyou and Sugawara had walked through.

"Same. He's the cutest thing I've ever seen." replied Kuroo, patting at his hair with a smirk.

I totally crashed on one of my jumps on the stairs at the skate park and now I have two large skid marks on my ass cheeks, but, technically, I landed it, so off I go to try again uwu
