"This is the volleyball court. This is where two different teams play."
















Akaashi explains as he walks beside the curious ginger.

Shoyo was making ooh sounds as he stared at the huge dome-shaped building.

It looks amazing as the lights above make the glossy court shine.

"This is the net to separate the teams. We play using this ball."

A multicolored softball was in his hand he let the tangerine hold it as well.

"It's so light! I thought it would be heavy?"

He says, amazed.

"Try hitting it using the palm of your hand. Like, dribbling it."

Kuroo says as he stares.

Shoyo followed and hit the ball in his hand. And it was amazing!

He looked at the three upperclassmen as they watched him with a parent's smile.

He looks like a kid playing ball.

"WOW! This feels amazing!"

"RIGHT! YOU SHOULD JOIN THE TEAM, MY DISCIPLE!"

Bokuto says with a huge smile on his face. Implying to let the ginger join his team.

Akaashi would be happy to have the tangerine join their team as well, but the problem was that the ginger is not from the Aves.

He's like a cat.

And yet he has no tail.

So it's confusing as to where he'll be joining if ever he's interested.

"By the way Shoyo."

Bokuto asks.

"Yes, Bokuto san ?"

The ginger answered.

"Are you a cat? Or a dog? Or like any mammal... Your ears look like felines... Yet you have no tail? Why is that?"

The owl asked innocently. Kuroo and Akaashi got curious as well as they both stared at the tangerine who was silent.

'Oh shit... What am I? Ms. Kiyoko didn't say anything about what kind of fake ears I was wearing?! And I'm not any animal at all!

Because I'm God!

Noo... What should I tell them?! Should I tell them that I'm a human being who was being experimented on that's why I don't have any real tails and ears?
And I'm a defect... Frick!'

The ginger was internally freaking the duck out as he laughed awkwardly.

The three men noticed his uncomfortable silence.

"Shoyo... Were you perhaps... Got abused?"

Kuroo asked as he holds the small hands of the younger male.

Akaashi and Bokuto then furrow their eyebrows as they think of it as a possibility.

While the tangerine was confused.

Abused?

That's a great excuse!

He thought for a second.

"Um... Ye -"

Before he could continue his words, a coach calls out for the Fukurodani players and the Nekoma players to have a stretch before the practice match.
