You could hardly contain your excitement, you were going to watch a, what you were sure would be a great match. You noticed Tsukishima talking with Yamaguchi and Daichi from the far side of the court and sighed at Tsukishima's antics.
"Well, the buzz-cut or the shortie...Hmm...Who to crush- I mean challenge first!" Tsukishima's typical condescending tone rang out. You resisted the urge to roll his eyes at his words- you should never underestimate an opponent. That's how you loose a match. You noticed Tanaka listening in and snickered at his facial expression as his approached his teammates.
"So hard to choose, but I do know I want to save his highness for last..."
Daichi just seemed to shake his head at Tsukishima, it seemed he shared similar thoughts to you however, who you now know to be Yamaguchi piped in before he could make a comment.
"Errr...Tsuki. They can hear you! Be careful!"
"I know genius, I want them to hear me- I can't wait to watch the King fall apart out there-"
"Well now, you've got quite a personality there don't you?" Daichi chimed in, a hesitant smile on his face. You resisted the urge to laugh at his facial expression, but you did glance worriedly at Kageyama. Although you didn't know him well, you did know that the 'king' business must be quite a touchy subject for him. You couldn't imagine what he went through- being abandoned by your own teammates.
"It must be a pretty great show to watch him being abandoned by all his loyal subjects last year."
"Tsukishima that's enough! You're not being fair- Kageyama may be your opponent for now, but you're apart of the same team! What are you going to do when your on the same side of the court huh?" You shouted, raising your fist at him.
"You really are a jackass!"
Hinata laughed at your comment, pointing to Tsukishima who had a scowl plastered on his face.
"Shut up, you have no rights to make demands to me."
You just crossed your arms over your chest defiantly, before huffing. "It's your choice, your decision. I'm telling you from experience, because if there's bad relations on the court, you're weak no matter how strong you are individually. There's six players on a court for a reason."
"(Y/n)'s right" Sugawara agreed quietly, and Tsukishima just huffed in response.
"Well, well, did you hear that you guys? They're talking trash now. That jerk had better just stand up-" Tanaka's mood suddenly changed drastically "or he's dead meat!"
Hinata sticks his toungue at childishly, and you laugh at the notion, shaking your head.
The match begins, Tanaka scoring the first point with a powerful spike that shoots straight through Tsukishima's block. Although Tsukishima was tall- his block was pretty weak you realized. He would need to build up a stronger endurance for his block to truly be effective. Hinata watched in amazement, and you immediately turned away blushing scarlet as Tanaka rips off his shirt and swirls it round like a helicopter, revealing a good body build underneath.
"Put your shirt on!" Sugawara orders.
"Yeah calm down!" who you've come to know as Ennoshita chimes in.
"No one wants to see that!"
You could faintly hear Daichi from the other side of the court, commenting how this is what happens when you get Tanaka too worked up and you shake your head. This team was really something.
A whistle is blown and you faintly hear someone call for the front to be covered. You smiled, you really did love volleyball. Tanaka receives the ball and Hinata makes his way up to the net.
'Is he going to spike?'
"Hinata!" Kageyama calls expectantly, setting the ball to him and Hinata jumps. You watch, mouth agape for a moment as Hinata jumps.
'He jumps so high!'
However, just as he spiked the ball, it was blocked by Tsukishima. You growled slightly, grumbling under your breath. That was Hinata's moment!
"You took me by surprise before, you have a really nice jump there, now only if you were about one foot taller you'd be a really good superstar. Better start taking your vitamins."
"Whatever, one more, I've got this one for sure!" Hinata exclaims, jumping back into action and the game begins once more. However, Hinata keeps getting blocked by Tsukishima.
'He's really good at analyzing and anticipating the moves of his opponents.'
Kageyama does one of those incredible jump serves of his, and you were amazed how easily it was received by Daichi...
'So that's his specialty. He's defense.'
The true extents of Kageyama's, 'King of the Court' title is revealed, and the true purpose he was given that same title. But you were already aware of that story, however the remorse on Kageyama's face did make you rethink your analysis of him. It seems, he fears the same thing will happen again with Karasuno. But with Hinata on his side, your sure it wont. Hopefully Hinata can help him grow from a king, to a leader. From a dictatorship to a democracy, and you truly believe Hinata can do that for Kageyama...
"You're right...The thought of no one being there to back me up, terrifies me alright?"
'So Kageyama finally admits to his fears...'
"Yeah...But that was back in middle school right? Your sets are going to reach me, no question about it." You smile to yourself, Hinata is truly something. The person to help take away Kageyama's fears and help him grow as not only a player... But a person.
"After that, the only problem is how to get passed this jerk-whole!" Hinata announces, causing people to laugh at Hinata's nickname. You giggle to yourself, smiling contently.
"You need to kick Tsukishima's ass, join the volleyball club and become the setter just like we planned. Then you have to set to the ball to me, it's not that complicated!"
"Oh shut up, that over the top annoying attitude of yours is disgusting-" Tsukishima comments. Preparing to serve the ball:
"And enthusiasm wont make you any taller! If you think trying hard is all it takes you to succeed, your sorely mistaken." #
Tsukishima serves the ball and Tanaka quickly receives it. The ball reaches Kageyama, and he faces his fears head on. You grin, watching as Hinata calls out to Kageyama with a "I'm here!" and Kageyama sets towards him, and he barely makes a feint.
"I don't care for what happened in middle school, I'm grateful for any set that comes my way. I just want the ball, I'll jump anywhere, I'll hit any ball, believe me! Give me a set- and I'll hit it!"
