Eita Semi's PoV

Watching the volleyball go to Ushijima's Hand he spikes it to the ground with extreme ease but impeccable power "nice set, Semi-san" looking behind me at Tendō who's casually swaying over to me, his bright red hair blowing due to the wind from the open door of the gymnasium, the other team mooching out of the locker room with their bags and stuff "practice is off for today, get some rest" Ushijima says loudly before he walks towards his bag, stretching I click my bones before walking out of the gymnasium after grabbing my bag from the bench.

Standing at The bus stop, my bag wrapped around my leg on the floor, I let my head rest against the bus stop window. Looking to the side at Shirabu who's sat on the curb, his arms folded over his chest and his head rested on his forearms, walking over I nudge him with my foot "what are you doing?" I ask sternly, watching him look up at me he scoffs "waiting to go home, what does it look like, idiot?" He retaliates, looking around I furrow my brows "your no where near the bus stop how is it going to know you want to get on?" I return, hearing him scoff again I scowl "I'm not waiting for the bus, doofus, I'm waiting for my dad." He grumbles, looking around I watch him pull his phone out and text his dad, leaning forward slightly I squint 'can't pick you up pal, out with your brothers', scowling I dig into my pocket before pulling 5¥ and holding it out for him "Get a bus." I say, watching him look up to me he turns his nose up at me before taking the yen and standing, walking towards the bus stop I go back to leaning against the window.

"Semi, the bus is here" shaking away I sit upright "Did I fall asleep.." I mumble watching him nod as she stands he walks towards the edge of the curb as the bus pulls up I stand, pulling my ticket out of my pocket I follow him onto the bus, handing the man the ticket as we take a seat in the back of the bus "How long was I asleep for?" I ask watching him shrug he looks at his watch "around fifteen minutes" he replies, rubbing my eyes I yawn "Hey your Eita Semi right?" Looking over my shoulder at two girls from school, nodding Shirabu looks at me "Your like, the setter of this team right? That's cool." One of the other girls say, nodding I look to Shirabu "I'm one of the setters of the team yeah." I respond watching them smile they lean back as Shirabu looks down at the ground "your not going to introduce yourself?" I ask as I lean against the window he shakes his head "I don't see the point. Girls aren't my priority" he responds, nodding I look at my hands not noticing the clear statement he had just made I smile "yeah, volleyball takes up too much time for them" I nod closing my eyes I hadn't noticed him give me a look of my own stupidity "Yeah." He simply replies.

Stepping off of the bus I stretch "Man I can't wait to get home and take a warm bath" I breath, watching him walk down the street towards what I assume is his house I follow him lazily, my ash blonde hair blowing in the wind "Summer break is coming up you know" I mention as I rest my head on the backs of my wrists "I know." He replies bluntly, humming, my jaw clenching and my nose scrunching due to the lack of response coming from the younger setter "What you doing for summer?" I ask, stopping when he stands still "Why are you still following me?" He asks, cocking a brow I gesture to the house behind the gate "I live like right there" I mumble pointing to the small apartment "you live in an apartment? Talk about crowded." He mumbles, shaking my head I tuck my hands into my pockets "I don't live with anyone. My family live across town" I respond, his eyes widening slightly "that must be lonely" he says, shaking my head I smile slightly "I have a dog" I say before walking towards the gate I wave to him "see you tomorrow" I say before disappearing into the apartment.

Stepping off of the bus as Shirabu climbs out a car he looks over to me "Morning" I murmur, my eyes closed as I walk towards the gates of shiratorizawa "You look happy" he murmurs as we walk towards the entrance I yawn "Milo kept me up all night" I mumble, opening my eyes as he looks at me "I'm going to assume your dog is called Milo" he responds with raised eyebrows, nodding I yawn "he's a jack Russel, like out of the film, the mask..? Milo the jack russel?" I ask, watching him shake his head I gasp "you uncultured swine!" I breath watching him scoff he moves his uneven parted hair out of his face I sigh "One of the greatest movies of all time" I whisper as we step into the building I immediately see Reon, Bowing to Shirabu slightly I run towards Reon, Tendō and Ushijima.

Leaning back as I watch Shirabu set the ball for the team I scowl "Still won't get use to not being on the court" Reon asks as he walks towards me, shrugging I fold my arms over my chest "I leave this year so what do I care." I retaliate, hearing him laugh he shakes his head "you know you could be a mature upperclassman and mentor him to be his best setter for the team." He says, scoffing I watch as Ushijima spikes a ball perfectly I hum "He's fine." I mumble, watching Reon shake his head he walks towards the team.

Walking towards Shirabu who's stood drinking I growl to myself "Hey idiot."
I grumble, watching him look up at me he scowls immediately "Don't call me an idi-" He begins before I clear my throw "don't hesitate when your setting for Ushijima, no matter how high or low the ball can go, he'll always be able to spike it. And for the others, memorise their height, it's key." I explain, watching his eyes widen for a split second he shakes his head "why are you telling me this? I thought you hated that I took over your position as setter" he grumbles, shrugging I tuck my hands into my short pockets "I leave this year. Your gonna be the star setter. Do the team proud." I mumble before walking away.
