égoïste [Akaashi Keiji]

raison #15

"Oh, you've got a really defined body, Kou." Shiori commented, seeing him change in the gym. It was a normal occurrence, since it was just the shirt. The others were changing, too.

She was completely unfazed—she had seen her teammates do that, whether it be girls or boys from her current or previous teams, or those she's trained with. Plus, Arata liked to walk around shirtless and parade around in his underwear. It was almost normal for her.

The owl looked at her with wide eyes, his ears going slightly red as he laughed, rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly. "You really think so?!"

"Yeah. Your abdominals and your back muscles are really strong, so it explains how you're able to hit a powerful spike." After she finished speaking Konoha let out a stiff laugh, covering his mouth, and Bokuto was left just nodding slowly, not really getting what she was saying.

Akaashi stared down at his own muscles; he had wanted to become stronger, but it was a working progress.

"Why are you just watching us change?" Konoha laughed when he put the shirt over his head.

"Well, where else am I going to look? I'd rather look at you guys than stare at the wall." Shiori chuckled, "I'm sorry if it's making you uncomfortable."

Konoha shook his head and looked away. She was completely shameless!

"I get what you mean!" Bokuto hit his fist against his palm, an idea going to his head, "I—"

"Bokuto-san, I think that's completely different." Akaashi interrupted the captain, sighing. He had already changed his top.

"Yeah, I think that's completely different too." Konoha and Shiori sweat dropped.

"She's completely shameless, isn't she?" Kuroo let out a snicker when his eyes went over to the girl. "What a perv," He spoke teasingly.

"I don't want to hear that coming from you." Kenma's words stabbed right through the male.

"You didn't need to say it like that..."

Shiori stood on the side, beside the two managers. It was about halfway through the game, and neither side was letting up.

She noted that Fukurodani was amazing in game as always, and she mentally applauded each of them for their great play.

I've got to hand it to Akaashi for being able to get Bokuto up and going from his emo mode, though. Bokuto's straights were very good, too.

Nekoma, she had to admit, was very good as well. They could adapt to almost any situation, and she swore that Kuroo and Kenma, like the managers said, was scheming something. Choking Bokuto's straights to become crosses and then doing the opposite when Bokuto went into his emo mode and stuffing him? It seemed too well written and absolutely easy for that team to pull off.

For Nekoma to know about Bokuto's emo modes, it would mean that they've known each other for a while.

So they're using this against the ace, huh...well, it does make sense. Kou's spikes are hard to block if you aren't Kuroo or the libero...I think his name was Yaku? They did a good job picking those spikes up.

And that tall guy...is he half? Shiori looked to the tallest member of Nekoma's team. He had silver hair and green eyes; he was very cat like.

He's a complete novice, though, Shiori had realised this when she first saw him play. Even just by watching his footwork, she knew he hadn't played long. Is Nekoma trying to get him to become a regular? If he improved that would improve them by leaps and bounds, more so than they are now.
