Soon enough the time for morning practice had come around. Coach Ukai stood there looking at Tobio, unsure of what to do. 

"I can stay here with him if you want," Takeda suggested, standing next to him. "I have some work to finish off anyway," he added. 

"Oi!" Takinoue yells across from them, sitting in one of the armchairs. "What?" Keishin asks back. "We're right here ya know," 

"Yeah, I know, It's annoying." 

"You're so rude. I'm just saying that we can look after the kid for you." Ukai was silent for a moment as he thought about it, before eventually sighing. "Alight! Fucking fine then." 

So now Shimada and Takinoue end up watching over Kageyama, which is pretty easy considering the fact that he's fast asleep on the couch. 

However, that only lasted a short while. He had woken up. Stretching, he looked around the room, finding that both of the adults were sitting on the armchairs quietly watching tv. 

Getting up, he looks around the house, though is unable to find Keishin and Ittetsu. 

Where's Coach and Sensei?  He writes on the small whiteboard. "Uhm they went to morning practice, but Keishin texted and said they had some errands to run." Shimada answers. When will they be back? What errands? "Yeah, we don't know what errands. He said they should be back soon though."

Kageyama frowns and walks off, coming back a minute later with the cat in his arms. Fidgeting slightly, anxious and unsure of what to do with himself. 

"Hey so question," Shimada shot his friend a warning look, "we've seen the scars in photo, but can we see them in person by any chance?" Tobio snapped his head toward him, quickly writing a What do you mean?  As his heart starts to race. 

"The scars on your arm and back?" Takinoue asks, a little confused, before a very possible realisation had hit him, "He wasn't supposed to show us, was he?" He asks in a softer voice. Kageyama shakes head, then gets up, taking the cat with him, heading off to his room.
