"You're playing, again?" Kuroo glanced over Kenma's shoulder. They had just completed their 2 games for the day, and they won both. They were now doing their stretches and resting up a little before heading back.
"Yeah. Shiori's on, so I'm playing with her." Kenma responded, clicking the buttons quickly. They were currently battling a monster in the game they picked up yesterday.
"I'm surprised she's not here." The bed head captain glanced down at the current game that had overtaken the court they were previously on. Fukurodani was playing.
"She said that she can't just skip class." Kenma replied to his comment. "I asked her about it too."
"Eh, Kenma, you're really taking the initiative, aren't you?" Kuroo sent a smirk at him.
"No, not really."
"You were."
"Not really."
"You totally were."
"No."
Kuroo sighed. Kenma was like this, and it amused him. He let a small smile form on his face when he watched Fukurodani's match.
Wasn't Bokuto depressed earlier? Kuroo looked to Bokuto's form. He was spiking as normal, none of his emo modes affecting him. Hard to believe he was.
"HEY, HEY, HEY!" Bokuto's catchphrase rung through the gym when he made a successful spike. His team cheered with him.
"That guy...taking all the attention for himself." Kuroo muttered with a snort, taking a glance around the stadium. Even other players on the courts were watching the ace.
"Bokuto-senpai is so cool!" Inouka chimed in.
Kuroo didn't even comment on his junior's remark.

Maybe I should visit them tomorrow, or the day after...when they're in the finals? Shiori questioned herself, packing up her stuff at the end of the day.
She was too busy thinking that she was oblivious to a few people standing by the door, gulping down their nerves as they wished to ask her to go to karaoke with them. They were some 3rd years from the same year level, but because Yukie and Bokuto were always around her, they found it hard to go up to her and invite her out when she isn't by herself.
Who am I kidding, it's already hard enough to go up to her by herself! One of them berated themselves for thinking that way.
The other hit him on the arm, "Come on!" He hissed at him.
Shiori stood up after packing her bag, slinging it over her shoulders as she went towards the door. She passed them, still thinking.
"Ah, Shiori-san—"
"HEY HEY HEY! SHIORI!"
Bokuto came sprinting at her having just gone up the stairs, spotting her leaving the classroom.
"Kou?!" Shiori let out a surprised 'woah!' when he threw an arm over and shook her around excitedly.
"Ah..." The few other 3rd years that were going to invite her stopped in their tracks and rubbed their necks, unsure if they should continue.
"Maybe we should go, then..." The other frowned. They had the perfect opportunity, but they lost it so quickly.
"Sorry, Kou, just hold up a moment—" Shiori clamped her hand over his mouth, making him stop talking for a brief moment.
She turned around to the third years she heard call for her. "Yes? You called for me?" She said kindly.
The third years nodded after a moment of being stupefied, "Y-yeah...uhm," One of them hesitated until the other elbowed him, "D-do you want to come karaoke with us?!" He ended up saying really quickly and nervously.
