Hinata's POV 
I race to the gym, Kageyama only a few steps behind me. I decide to take the shortcut across the grass instead of just staying on the sidewalk. I turn my head to see Kageyama gaining on me, so after sprinting a few more steps, I fling myself onto the ground and scream as loud as I can. Kageyama comes to an immediate halt next to me and bends down quickly. 

"Hinata! Are you okay? Oh my god, are you hurt? Hinata!" 

I come out of my curled up position to look at him, my face scrunched up in mock pain. The amount of concern on his face surprises me so much I almost lose face for a second. I remove my hand from my ankle and put it in his.  

"Help me up," I say with a grimace on my face.  

"No, here, let me take a look at it," Kageyama says sincerely. 

"No, no, no, I'll be fine if I just get up and walking a little." Kageyama furrows his eyebrows but helps me up anyway. After taking a few steps while leaning on him, I quickly turn, and with all my strength push him to the ground and take off running. After a few seconds of shock, Kageyama gets up, sprinting after me shouting,

"dumbass!! Hinata you dumbass!" I reach the gym a few seconds before he does, and put my bag in front of my face to avoid anything he has to throw at me.  

Kageyama, red-faced but keeping his cool, walks past me into the gym and I cautiously follow him. He puts his bag down and stiffly walks over to the volleyball cart. He calmly grabs two balls and then I make the mistake of turning to put my bag down as well.   

A ball going the speed of a car hits me in the side and another quickly comes at my head. My body hits the court and I lay there, trying to get a reaction out of Kageyama, but all I get is another ball pegged at me. I flip over onto my back and groan loudly. 

"KAGEYAMA. You are gonna hurt me for real if you keeping throwing those at me." Another ball hits my chest. A violent cough escapes me.

"Officially dead," I croak. 

"Dumbass, get over here and practice some spikes." 

"No, I'm dead. Didn't you hear me?" 

"You actually will be dead if you keep laying there and I will have been the one that killed you. Now get up." I can feel Kageyama's glare even though I can't see him. 

"No, I can't go on. Tell my family I love them." 

Silence. 

I peek over at Kageyama with one eye and see him standing there, completely dumbfounded. 

"You continue to disappoint me with your stupidity," Kageyama says in a monotone voice. 

I haul myself up from the floor and trudge over to Kageyama. 

"I think you gave me a concussion." 

"No I didn't, dumbass." Just then Sugawara walks in with Daichi and they look at us with blank expressions. Daichi sighs. 

"Can you guys ever behave yourselves?" Sugawara remarks. Kageyama and I don't say anything. I manage a weak smile. 

"Never mind. Practice will start in 10 minutes. Collect yourselves." Daichi walks towards the changing rooms and Sugawara sets his bag down. 

"Sorry, captain," Kageyama and I say in unison. 

"Why are you so mean to me?" I whisper to Kageyama. 

"Why are you such a dumbass?" Kageyama retorts. 

"See, this is what I mean." Kageyama looks me hard in the eyes. I return his stare. As we continue looking at each other, his stare softens. His eyes wander down to my lips, but I continue to focus my eyes on his. When his eyes make their way back up to meet mine, there is something more intense about his stare. He leans toward me and my eyes widen, wondering what he's doing. But just then Nishinoya-senpai and Tanaka-senpai burst into the gym yelling. Kageyama takes several steps back from me as I realize how close we were.

Nishinoya gets quiet when he sees us. I can tell that he saw what was going on. Tanaka just continues with his story though.  Suga smiles at them. I had completely forgot that Suga was here, he was so quiet. I don't know why just happened between me and Kageyama, but I hope he didn't see it. 

"You two are unusually early. Is there something wrong?" Suga asks the two second years. Nishinoya just shrugs, still looking at Kageyama and me.  

"My mom kicked me out of the house earlier than usual," Tanaka laments. 

"Well everyone should be getting here soon, so you guys can relax until they do," Sugawara says. I walk over to my bag and pretend to get a drink of water. I'm not really thirsty, but I just want to think a little bit without too many interruptions.
