As usual, everyone seemed pretty happy to see him at practice, though a little disappointed that he didn't play as much as he usually does.

Getting off the bench, Kageyama makes his way toward Kiyoko. Can you help me with something? "Yeah sure, what is it?" My back is a little itchy, can you help me? I can't reach.

She gives a soft smile at him, "Yes. I can help." He turns around for her and directs her hand toward the middle of his back, but no matter how hard she scratches, he wants her to go harder.

So, he decides to ask her to scratch under his shirt. Despite being shocked at the weird bumps and lines she could feel, she doesn't say anything to him.

"Is this better?" She asks, scratching as hard as he needs. He nods and writes a thank you.

"Tobio for fucks sake, no!" Coach Ukai says threw gritted teeth, pulling him away from her.

Her eyes go wide as red goopy liquid coats her fingertips and inside her fingernails.

"God damnit not again," he sighs out. "Back to practice! Yeah, just go wash your hands. Specs! Where the fuck are-oh Jesus Christ don't sneak up on people like that," he jumps, lightly swatting at him, "watch over him, I'll be back," and walks out of the gym.

They're conflicted between seeing what's up with Kageyama and back to practice, but end up going for the second option, knowing that Tobio isn't much of a fan of attention or being fussed over.

Takeda takes Tobio's hand and walks out of the gym and into the clubroom, where no one would disturb them, then sits him down. "Alright I'm just going to have a look, okay?"

  Takeda peels the shirt the sticking to his back up. He tries not show a reaction, so he instead ends up staring for a few seconds.

Knocking on the door before opening, Kiyoko walks inside, holding their first aid kit. "Did you need this?" She asks, setting it down next to him before he answered.

She gives a look at his injury and sits down next to him, as Takeda starts by taking out bandages and lining it against his back. Kageyama tries to duck and dodge, but Kiyoko makes sure that doesn't happen.

Her fingers are interlocked with his, gently rubbing his thumb. Takeda finishes up and gives it a quick smooth down, Tobio gets shivers sent down his spine.

"I have to get back to the team, do you think you could watch him?" Kageyama scrunches his face up. "Yes, I can do that."
