The Shape of Silence || Tsukishima Kei x Reader

Chapter Eight: Surprise Guest!

Tsukki was surprised to see (F/n) on Aoba Johsai's side of the gym before their practice match. He didn't even know that she'd come.

"What the hell are they doing, talking to her?" Noya snarled. Tanaka glared holes onto the other side, making two of the first years shudder and go hide behind some of their second years.

Hinata was huffing about how the other teams ace was fluent in sign language and could therefore communicate with the deaf girl.

Suga wouldn't quit fuming about how 'Mr Friggin Perfect' could also speak fluently to her. Daichi didn't even want to bother getting close to his boyfriend–er, vice captain.

Surprisingly, Yamaguchi had befriended one of Seijoh's players, and was laughing about something or whatever. Tsukki ignored them, deciding to try focusing on what (F/n) was telling them.

An irk mark appeared when he saw the two other third years slide in his field of view, blocking him from reading the conversation.

He went in search of someone sensible to send him some tosses, and was happy to find Ennoshita, who seemed pretty relaxed compared to everyone else.

Kei was just in the middle of explaining how the match played out to Bokuto's and Kuroo's interest when Keiji promptly rose a hand and waved. Kei stopped short, thinking the quiet man was going to order something, but was shocked to see (F/n) walk over with a grin.

"Whoa! Surprise guest, (F/n)-chan!" Bokuto announced, and she gave him a wave before moving to tug on Kuroo's ear.

She pulled him out of his spot beside Kei, and she promptly took it, sliding snugly beside her husband so Kuroo could once again take his seat, complaining a little.

Kei was just telling us about how you cheated on him in that second practice match Karasuno had with Seijoh. Akaashi informed the girl. The pair had come up with names for each school, like 'Crow' for Karasuno and 'Rats' for Seijoh. Reportedly, anyone from Seijoh was not amused with the choice of name.

Her eyes brightened. He left out the bit with the third years?

They all nodded.

She turned to Kei. My turn. She demanded.

"Go ahead..." Kei murmured, slightly shocked that she had appeared here in the first place.

The girl cleared her throat, then began signing out her side of the story.

(F/n)! Makki signed with a wave, and her eyes brightened up as she headed over to the other side of the gym, past the volleyball net.

Mind telling us of your team's secrets? Mattsun shot her a grin, and she cuffed his arm with a small laugh.

Classified. She signed with a pointed look. Tooru and Hajime joined in with the conversation as well.

(F/n)! Oikawa complained, and she smiled in amusement. Just a little hint?

We all absolutely hate your team. She gave them all a blunt look, and she saw the four of them sigh. Or groan. Something like that. Also, Shoyo– She puzzled with her hands for a moment. They wouldn't know his name. Orange bounces.

That was all she could come up with, but she pointed over to Shoyo and Tobio, the two proving her point by tossing up a ball and having the future ace jump up and smack it. The four visibly groaned, and she gave them a winning smile.

She waved them goodbye, then went over to the bleachers. She noticed Kei watching her, so she smiled and signed, No secrets shared. She winked, pressing a finger to her lips in a hushing gesture. He rose an eyebrow, then went off towards Ennoshita, who didn't look as annoyed as the rest of the team.

She wondered for a moment why they all seemed so irate, but decided to ignore it.
