You looked over. Tobio looked a little out of it. He was so quiet..

You were worried about him.

Noya and Tanaka lean forward to get a better look at Kageyama.

"Hey, hey! What's with the long face, huh? That's not like you, Kageyama!" Noya says.

"Hey, hey! What's with the long face, huh? That's not like you, Kageyama!" Noya says

"Nah, bruh. This is totally his normal cant-make-up-his-mind face. He gets like this all the time when he can't decide which drink he wants out of the machine!" Tanaka teases.

"Pfft- you're right," you say, covering your mouth.

"Huh?! Bwuh?! I-I DO NOT!" Kageyama's cheeks turned red.

"Anyway, what's got you so worried, Tobio," you ask, "The signals?"

Tanaka sighs. "Listen. So what if they've figured out our signals? Who cares? I mean, Hinata's real job is being s decoy, right? With your planning and setting, watching Bluecastle try to block us is like, 'bbfff! Nice try, dude✨' y'know?"

You nod with a happy smile. "You're gonna be fine!" You ruffle his hair.

"R-right.... thanks." He looks away, cheeks still slightly pink.

They went back out on the court and the game resumed. Hinata flubbed a receive.

Tanaka slapped his back. "No getting down, even if you screw up!"

"Kindaichi!" Oikawa calls to onion hair. "You know where to aim, right?"

"Yessir!"

You watched Kindaichi serve. Asahi messed up the receive.

"Huh. That's weird," you mumble.

Kiyoko looks over at you. "Hm?"

"That serve.. it wasn't fast or particularly strong.. yet Asahi flubbed it."

"Accidents happen," she says softly before scribbling some stuff down on her clipboard.

She scoots close enough for your legs to touch. She was really warm. I'm just a few seconds you could already feel the warmth through your track suit pants.

"Kiyoooo" you coo, putting your arms around her.

She squeaks, her glasses askew as you rubbed your cheek against hers.

"(Y-y-y- wha-"

"You're so warm~" you tease

Her whole face burned and she pushed you off her, fixing her glasses and fiddling with her fingers. "You're so embarrassing.." she can't help but smile. She liked it when you gave her attention.

You grin and fix some loose strands of her hair.

"OI!"

You flinch as Ukai wacks you in the head. "Stop flirting, pretty boy!"

You shrink into a husk and sulk, ignoring how Kiyoko was giggling at you.

"Now pay attention to the game. Number 12 keeps sending that serve into a nasty place." Ukai grabs the back of your shirt and drags you across the bench, separating you from Kiyoko.

"Kiyooo," you whine as Ukai forces you to sit next to him and watch the match.

She just laughed, highly entertained at you being reprimanded.

After a warning look from Ukai, you pay attention to the match.

Kindaichi served again, and it went towards Asahi again. This time he received it.

The score was 4 - 8

Kageyama nervously glanced at the score board. They were four points behind.

He glanced behind him and mentally cursed. Having Oikawa, Matsu, and Maki looming behind him was a lot of pressure.

Because of his stress, he rushed a setter dump and got blocked.

"Sorry..!" He grits his teeth.

"There's nothing easier to block than a telegraphed setter dump," Oikawa says.

You furrowed your eyebrows. If this keeps up, Kageyama might—

"HAAAAAAIYAAAAAAA!!" Your thoughts were interrupted by Tanaka screaming as he spiked.

"YEAAHHHH!" Him and Noya jump in the air, still cheering.

"Four points is nothing, dude!" Tanaka says as Hinata rotates into the front row. "Well make it up in no time!"

"Yaahh!" Hinata cheers.

"Ha ha! Somebody sure is energetic~" Oikawa says from the other side of the net. "And annoying.."

The game continues. Hinata ran up to the net. "Gimme the ball!!"

Kindaichi blocked him easily.

"Tch," you lean back on the bench. "They definitely figured out the signals."

Ukai nods. "It'll be alright.."

It was Kageyama's turn to serve.

This time I'm not going to flub it, Kageyama thought.

You huff. "Tobio! Relax!"

He didn't seem to hear you. When the whistle blew, he threw his serve toss a little too forward.

You winced but he saves it, changing it to a soft serve at the last second.

"Yes!" Ukai says.

Hanamaki digs it and Oikawa gets the last hit.

It goes straight for Kageyama and he had no choice but to touch the ball. Now he can't set.

Daichi set the ball the best he could for Tanaka, but he get triple blocked and Aoba Johsai gets the point.

"Lemme try again!!" Tanaka growls.

You snicker softly.

"Uh-oh," Takeda says, you and Ukai turning to look at him.

"After that point... look who came back up. It's Oikawa-kun's turn to serve again!"

You sweat drop. This wasn't good..

His form was always something you admired. Your eyes sparkled as you watched him jump serve.

Surely he wouldn't send it to Noya again, so who was next?
