Everyday before, during and after school Tobi and Hinata got together to practice. On the very rare chance I got to talk to him during one of those practices he had given small updates. Apparently Tanaka and Sugawara had taken to helping the two, but it was a secret and Daichi wasn't allowed to know. During actual practice Tobi and Hinata were left standing outside the gym watching through the windows until they got tired and started their own practice. Normally the first years would wait a week before they began practicing with the team, but because the practice match was on Saturday we were introduced to our two new recruits earlier. The first one was Kei Tsukishima. Tall, blonde, with glasses. There wasn't much to him. He didn't seem very interested in anything. He was a first year in class four, another college prep class, which means this was probably just his way of filling the club requirement. The second one was Tadashi Yamaguchi. He was tall, not as tall as Yamaguchi, but a good height. He had black hair and seemed to be a lot sweeter than his friend. I had told Tobi that I had joined as the team medic and that we'd be able to spend more time together. At that he got more fired up. You see, if Tobi's team had lost the 3 on 3, Tobi wasn't allowed to set for the rest of Daichi's career at Karasuno. It wasn't as bad as not being able to join the team, but for Tobi it was about equal. While the boy could play any position he was a setter by nature, and not playing that position was going to kill him.

"You guys ready" I asked Tobi and Hinata. Practice had gotten out earlier than normal so after helping the team cool down and stretch I rushed out to see Tobi. They were in the middle of one of their practices. I hadn't spent this much time apart from Tobi in forever. Frankly I missed him.

H: Absolutely!

That was a little hard to believe, but I hoped it was true. While I didn't go to every one of their practices from what I had seen, their teamwork was progressing just a little slowly. Hinata and Tobi were practicing receiving when suddenly one of them was caught in the air. Tsukishima had been the one to intercept it.

"Hey Yamaguchi, Tsukishima! Heading home?"

Y: Yup, what are you still doing around?

"Just helping these two practice."

T: Oh you must be those first years who made all that trouble on the first day.

Hinata was jumping around trying to get the ball back from Tsukishima and this boy had the audacity to call Hinata an elementary schooler.

H: YEA AND WHO ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO BE?

K: You must be the other two first years (P/N) told us about. Question: How tall are you?

Y: Glad you asked. Tsukki's 6'2 almost 6'3.

*Deadpans* What are you his cheerleader?

T: You're Kagayama from Kitagawa First? Aren't you? A star player like you, in a school like this?

K: So

H: LOOK PAL WE ARE NOT GONNA LOSE TO YOU, DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME.

T: Isn't that cute? This little game actually means something to you. We couldn't care less about it. But if it's that important to you two, maybe we'll just throw the game.

K: Fine, I don't care if you throw it or work yourself to the bone, because I'm still gonna win tomorrow.

* To Kageyama* H: You mean we right?

Tsukishama laughed. From what I've seen this kid doesn't laugh at anything. Until just seconds ago I didn't even think he had the capability to laugh. I don't like where this is going

T: So confident, well that's the King for you.

Tobi looked down. Oh Tobi. "HEY DON'T CALL HIM THAT." I said. But he kept going.
