16: what is this?

—3 days before interhigh

It was a tiring day. Kageyama stayed up all night because he couldn't stop thinking about you.

'She really is becoming a nuisance.' He thought to himself. He still had about 10 minutes before it was the start of 2nd period so he decided to walk around for a bit. He walked past your classroom about 3 times just to not look obvious even though he was doing so bad at it but you weren't there.

'Strange," Kageyama thought as you would usually be in your classroom either daydreaming or screaming at your friends. There was no in between with you. He then just decided to go back to his own classroom to wait for the bell to ring.

As soon as he went back to his classroom, he saw his classmates circling around his chair and whispering to each other.

"Oy," He said sharply making all his classmates go back to their seats revealing a milk carton on his chair. He tried so hard not to smile. But he didn't know what was coming.

"A pretty girl left that here. She didn't say anything but she looked really happy when she put that there." One of his classmates say as he gives them a nod. He really was struggling not to show any emotions.

He flipped the carton to get the straw to see a folded note taped on the back. He took the note off then next the straw. He inserted the straw into the carton and took a sip. You really knew his favorite. He then soon opened the note. The milk he drank almost came out of his nose as he read the writings on the small piece of paper.

"To me you will always be the best setter...

because you set my heart on fire."

He had to cover his mouth with his hand so he wouldn't giggle. It was something he rarely does and he definitely doesn't want his classmates to hear it. He felt the heat crawling up to his cheeks up to his ear as a tint of pink could be seen. He couldn't take it anymore so he put his face down, facing the table to hide his face from his classmates.

"Do you think he got dumped?"

"What if he got rejected?"

"Poor Kageyama. Now I get why he's always so cold"

Those were the thoughts and whispers running through his classmates minds and mouths but Kageyama couldn't be happier. He felt butterflies on his stomach to the point that he could burst. His feelings were overflowing and he wanted to bang his head on his table just to make them stop.

'You really are so annoying f/n.'

—2 days before interhigh

This time, Kageyama was actually anticipating you giving him his milk but nothing came during the breaks and even during lunch. You were acting normal during the practice as well.

'Did she forget?'

He was actually looking forward to it so you not giving him anything and showing him barely any attention made him uninspired. He never thought this would happen. Him? With volleyball?

"Is something wrong Kageyama?" Hinata asks as he noticed that his sets and even his serves were weaker than usual. He was not himself.

"It doesn't concern you, dumbass." He says as he sets to ball to his face. You look at him and snicker a little bit as you realized how much you had an effect on him.

You two walked home and you still haven't given him the milk. If he was being honest, he didn't even care about the milk anymore. You could give him a bottle of water but as long it had a note in it, it would make him very happy.

You both part ways as he sighs. He enters his house, takes his shoes off and goes to his room. He prepares to go to bed as he realized he has homework. He rushes to his bag to get his notebook to see a milk carton.

His eyes sparkled and his face lit up like fireworks. He quickly picks it up and takes the note. He breathes deeply and gets ready to open it and read it.

"If you were a volleyball...

I'd be sure to call you mine."

This time, he was alone, so he could react as he pleases. But he couldn't be loud or his family would hear him. But he couldn't help but smile and giggle a little bit. He then dove onto his bed and plopped down, facing the pillow. And then there, he squealed and screamed while flapping his arms and feet onto his bed. He still had your note on his hand and couldn't help but read it a few more times.

—1 day before interhigh

Kageyama was more stressed than ever. The entire team was. Tomorrow would be your first game in Interhigh and watching old videos of the teams you would play against, pressured you all in many and different ways.

The amount of "tsks" you heard from him couldn't be counted by your fingers. He was so tense or at least more tensed than usual. An outsider wouldn't be able to see his emotions but you could see through his tough exterior. Little movements like him furrowing his eyebrows, playing with his fingers and even sighing deeply were signs probably only you could notice.

You two walk home and because you were both too tired and nervous, it was quiet but also peaceful. It gave you two a chance to think. To think about what can possibly happen tomorrow and what to do to win. It was time for you to part your ways so you both come into a halt. He was about to leave but you pulled him into a hug.

"Good luck! You can do it." You say as you hand him the milk carton. He takes it from you but before he could say anything, you ran as fast as you could making him smile.

He soon took the note and opened it.

"There's no need for you to warm up...

You've been running on my mind the entire day."
