xcix - bold moves

During the broadcast, Tsukishima had subtly signalled Crow to follow him outside, so the ravenette had done so, figuring he probably wanted his reward now that they had some time to relax. The two left the faculty office, Tsukishima in front and Crow trailing behind. Eventually, they made it to the gym, where Tsukishima went over to the stage and sat down, patting his lap. Crow raised an eyebrow at the bold move but decided to humor him. 

"I assume you want your reward now," He said as he sauntered over to the tall blonde, then straddled him. Tsukishima looked like he was trying not to be affected by the position, since he was the one to actively ask for it, as he nodded. 

"Yes. I counted that I got seven blocks and five kills, so that makes 12 seconds, right?" He checked, making Crow hum as he cupped his face. 

"That it does." He murmured before pressing his lips to Tsukishima's. The boy made a noise, instantly shooting his hands to Crow's hips as he kissed him back, allowing the ravenette's tongue into his mouth when prompted. 

The kiss wasn't the longest, but Tsukishima couldn't help feeling content at being Crow's center of attention. There was a reason he had waited to ask for his reward when they could be by themselves. The blonde, like Hinata, also knew that Crow wasn't meant for one person. However, Tsukishima didn't feel the need to flaunt his relationship with the ravenette. He would much rather have Crow's undivided attention for a span of time than purposely try to make other people jealous or whatever Hinata and Nishinoya were trying to do by kissing him in front of everyone. 

Yes, this is enough, he told himself as they broke after the 12 second kiss, though Tsukishima had to stop himself from chasing after Crow's lips instinctively, especially when the ravenette licked them to clear them of any excess saliva. 

Crow could see Tsukishima's eyes were still on his lips, which just made him smirk. "You did well, Kei."

"...Thanks," Tsukishima muttered back, the flush now making its way onto his face. Crow just hummed and moved off the tall blonde's lap, only to lay his head back on it and close his eyes. 

"I'll give you another 12 second kiss if you let me snooze on you for a bit."

"Sure," Anything for you, Crow, he thought to himself, but would rather die than say it out loud. Eventually, the rest of the volleyball team came to the gym, meaning Crow and Tsukishima had to get up. Before they left the stage, though, Crow made sure to give Tsukishima his second reward. 

When they parted this time, and Tsukishima saw the looks on Hinata, Nishinoya and Kageyama's faces, he felt like he partially understood why the former two wanted to flaunt their reward. However, he just smirked at them and didn't voice any of his thoughts.

As the boys sat in a few rows in front of their coach and advisor, Keishin began the meeting. 

"Now then. We'll be going against Shiratorizawa tomorrow, but.." He trailed off briefly. "Just so you all know, in the three years since Oikawa joined Aoba Johsai, they have never beaten Shiratorizawa. Not even once," Keishin emphasized. "They are undoubtedly the undefeated champions. Of course, there's Ushijima, but there are plenty of others that are top in the prefecture. It's no fluke that they are top in the prefecture. Shiratorizawa is far stronger than you can even imagine. No one actually thinks we're going to win, except maybe some Crow fanatics," He paused as he noticed Hinata looking like he had something to say. "Nanda, Hinata?"

"That doesn't matter!" He burst, making everyone look at him. "I think..."

"Oi, don't talk to the coach like that!" Daichi scolded. 

"Oh, uh, I didn't mean it like that..." Hinata denied, waving his hands. 

"Just say it," Keishin told him, so the ginger stood up. 

"Hai," He said. "No one thought that we were going to beat Seijoh either. That's why it doesn't matter, I think.." Hinata explained, and Keishin actually had the gaul to look surprised. 

"Good point," Crow said, drawing attention to himself as he leaned back on his hands. "We just gotta do what we gotta do, doesn't matter who thinks what. The results will speak for themselves."

"Don't steal Hinata's thunder, jackass," Keishin shot a glare at him before huffing and smiling at his team. "Tomorrow, we're going to be the challengers again. Let's turn the tables on them," he said, making the team nod.

"Hai!" 

"The fallen powerhouse," Takeda stepped up. "The flightless crows," He quoted. "There's no one to call you that anymore. Birds with the wind in their wings are flying across the great blue sky right now, and all of you should be able to make it to the highest limit, to the farthest limit!" He grinned as the team stood up in front of him. "Now, everyone. The time has come! Let's win tomorrow and make it to nationals!"

"Yeah!" They all cheered.

"All right, now get home and go to bed so you aren't tired tomorrow," the coach instructed, thus everyone got ready to head back to their homes for the night to get ready for the day tomorrow. As they were leaving, however, Kageyama stopped Crow. 

"Matte, um," He quickly took his hand off of Crow's shoulder at the look he was given for grabbing it. 

"What?"

"I just wanted to ask if you.." He bit his lip nervously. "Would be willing to come home with me to give me my reward... Because.. my parents are out for their anniversary until tomorrow evening..." Kageyama explained, and Crow immediately picked up what he was putting down. 

"Oh, you were waiting for this, weren't you," He smirked knowingly as he tilted his head. "Alright Kageyama, if that's what you want. You got about 37 points from your sets and serves, right?"

"Yes," He confirmed, gulping subtly. That made Crow hum at him. 

"I won't eat you, you know," He told him, which just made the setter flush. 

"I-I know that! It's just that last times we did anything, we got interrupted, or didn't get past kissing, and," He took a deep breath before looking Crow in the eye again with a deep intensity. "I'd like to go farther with you, Crow-san."

"We can't have sex tonight because we have the finals tomorrow," Crow said as he started walking again, causing Kageyama to stumble but move to catch up with him. "But we can mess around in other ways."

"Um, Crow-san, my house is that way."

"The school gate is this way."

"Oh, right..."
