I Know It All Too Well

Why? Just Why?

<kageyamas pov>
'Oh.'
'Oh.'
'Oh.'
That's where I'm sitting. And that's my seat mate for life? There. Him. That guy? Really? Did I have a choice? I quietly walked over to my new desk, clearly a very popular place as hinata shouyo sat in the desk next to mine. As I placed my bag on my desk, I felt a pair of eyes burning into me. Big, chocolate brown eyes. I looked back at him.

I opened my mouth to speak, but nothing came out. What would I say to him? What would he say to me? If I was him, what would I do after that? It was embarrassing for me, to say the least, but what about him? Being next to him felt so familiar, yet also so strange, like I've never met him before. As the teacher came in, my opportunity to speak to him was wasted. The rest of the class flew by, hinata barely even looking in my way the whole day.

Finally! The best part of today has finally come. I can finally go to the volleyball club and meet everyone! And an added bonus—finally escaping tobio-no-kageyama. As the teacher excused us, I got up and half-ran half-walked to the gym.

But there was a presence. Who was it? I turned around to meet those blue eyes again. Why was kageyama following me? What was wrong with him? Was he going to do something to me?

Then it clicked.

Kageyama played volleyball.

Kageyama was a setter.

I was a spiker.

There's no way he wouldn't have joined the volleyball club too.

As realisation hit, dread also crept up his spine knowing he would have to see kageyama, not just during class time, but during volleyball training too.

Despite this, hinata tried to stay optimistic. 'But I wouldn't have to play with him right? I mean of course we would have to practice together as a team, but what if he didn't make the team?' Karasuno definitely has other setters...and other spikers. There was a chance neither me nor him would make the team. I was most definitely not going to give up on being on the main team. But so was kageyama. Who was I kidding? I would know more than anyone. He was a sports genius, and I would never admit it, but I missed his tosses.

I was never on the middle school team, but I would always watch their practices on the side. I was 'the weird kid that watched the volleyball training' but after one days training was over, kageyama asked me if I wanted some tosses, and our friendship had started and soon blossomed.
