Zayd p.o.v
....I'm not sure if Hinata's gonna be okay. I sweat drop a little as I glance sideways, seeing as Hinata finally walked into the huge gym. He looks like he wants to hurl again, to put it humbly. I sigh and shake my head, finding it a good idea to focus on my notebook instead. First things first, I need to find out more about what their strong points are and know how to evade them. I tap my pen thoughtfully against my chin. A whistle interrupts my train of thoughts, and I look up, feeling a little embarrassed that I'm just standing there in the middle and quickly make my way over to Kiyoko-senpai and Takeda-sensei.
"We will now begin the practice match of Karasuno High School versus Aoba Johsai High School." We all bow simultaneously. "Let's play."Aoba Johsai (third) p.o.v
"That shrimp is a middle blocker? That's gotta be some kind of mistake." Scoffs Kindaichi, looking almost disbelievingly at the smallest one of the team who is currently standing in the middle. "That's Kageyama for real. What's he doing at Karasuno?" Comments another who, giving a curious glance towards Kageyama.
"Who knows?"Karasuno (third) p.o.v
"Hey, Hinata. Buck up." Tries the captain to be comforting, doing a miserable job at that. The orange headed boy only seems to stiffen. "Y-Yes. I will do my best to buck up." The black haired guy doesn't really focus on them, instead looks around, calculating some moves and then turns to them again.
"No, I need you to relax."
"Hey, Hinata. You know the drill." He cuts in between, "The same as in the three-on-three match." He doesn't expect him to freak out even more. "I-I know that!"
"Are you sure?"Zayd p.o.v
Let's play!" Everyone shouts simultaneously after bowing at each other. I'm sitting on the bench with Shimizu-senpai, Takeda-sensei and the rest of the players that are benched. I'm sitting on the edge of my seat, excitement and nerves souring through my body.
"Do you think Hinata-san will be alright?" I mutter to no one in particular, worried about his condition since his stamina seems lower than normal.
"I'm sure Hinata will be fine," A bead of sweat slides down my back at Shimizu's words, thinking back about how she dealt a 'death blow' to Hinata-san just about a minute ago. You sure about that, Shimizu-senpai?I expected the match wouldn't go smooth, but this? This took it to a whole other level. To put it gently, Hinata's nerves got the best of him and so forgot the role he was supposed to play, and...yeah...didn't show the potential they have. But who am I to judge? I've actually never really played volleyball so I don't know how he experienced it. The only question I have is....How did he manage to hit the referee in his face with a ball?
For the rest of the match you saw a red spot on his forehead. And now we come by the main point. I can't help but feel a little bit of anxiety washing over me. Because this couldn't be timed worse....It's Hinata's serve.
So I'm currently sitting on the edge on the bench holding my breath as Hinata has his eyes closed. He seems to think about something worrisome going off on his changing expressions. "Hinata, relax!" Calls the captain to him, but it's like he can't hear him.Hinata (third) p.o.v
A serve-miss is an immediate score for the opponent. If I miss, the first set will be finished. The feeling of pressure added on his shoulder worsens as he clamps the ball between his hands even tighter.
"Kageyama, is he still breathing? Can he do this?" Mumbles Tanaka to Kageyama who's next to him, looking worriedly behind him to see if Hinata's all right.
"How am I supposed to know?" Asks Kageyama a little exasperated. Luckily, or unluckily, it depends how you see it, he doesn't seem to hear them, lost in thoughts he thinks back. Anything he doesn't need to win, he discards. The smirking face of the turnip guy doesn't help. Don't blow it. I'll have to sit it out if I blow it. He opens his eyes, and focuses on the volleyball in his hands.
"Relax. It's all right. It's all right. It's all-" The sharp, whistling sound of the whistle pierces through the air, indicating that Hinata should hurry. Startled, he hits the ball quickly. Crap, it didn't hit my hand right!
Whack!
Kageyam's head snaps forward as the loud whack echoes through the whole gym.Zayd p.o.v
I squeeze my lips tightly, to not let any sound out of it. It would've worked if Tanaka-senpai and Tsukishima-san didn't start laughing loudly and mocking Kageyama. A soft wheeze escapes my lips and quickly turn away from Kiyoko-senpai and Takeda-sensei. Hinata looks like his soul just left his body.
"Hey. Is your head okay?"
"Nice headshot, man!"
"Don't razz him!" Exclaims Sugawara-senpai from the sidelines, like a mother is berating his children. Like they didn't hear him they just continue to laugh in his face. "Stop it, you guys!"Hinata (third) p.o.v
Now he has done it. He feels literally his soul leaving his body as Kageyama turns to him and slowly starts walking towards him like a predator stalking it's prey.
"Hey, Kageyama. W-W-Wait. Once we talk about this, you'll understand." He hurries to exclaim, waving his arms around as he starts walking backwards. Kageyama doesn't answer, and his bangs are covering his eyes, so he can't gauge his emotions. "Kageyama. Stop." He's getting desperate, but who wouldn't? This is Kageyama we're talking about.
He finally comes to a stop before him, not saying anything for a while.Zayd p.o.v
What is he going to do? I watch them closely before anything gets out of the hand. "Just wondering....."
"Yes?" And I slap my hand over my mouth again to hide the snort that is about to escape at seeing Hinata's face. Kageyama start bending towards Hinata, making him to bend backwards to avoid anymore conflict.
"Why are you so intimidated? Why are you so nervous? Is it because the opponents are tall?" He comes even more closer to Hinata and continues with the assault, "Is it because this is your first practice match?" Hinata is sweating bullets now as Kageyama-san's hand moves to the back of his and hits it all of the sudden.
"There's nothing scarier than hitting a serve into the back of my head....Is there?" The deadly aura he's emitting is even reaching the bench where I'm sitting and I pray that Hinata will make it out alive. The sweating drops that were earlier coming out of Hinata disappear so quickly I blink one time to check if I'm seeing it all right.
"I can't think of anything." He answers with a completely blank face.
"In that case, you have no more reason to be nervous anymore." He hits the back of his head again, "Because you've already done it...The scariest thing possible." And brings his hand down, only to shove it against Hinata's head, "So now...Get back to normal, you jackass!"
I fall off the bench with a thud due to Kageyama-san's sudden switch to a loud voice, gaining the attention of Sugawara-senpai. "Are you all right?" I give him an awkward smile while grasping his hand to pull myself up.
"Yeah, I just got startled from Kageyama-san's loud voice." He chuckles at that, laying his hand to his side after pulling me up and his warmth lingers for a moment, 'til I'm broken out of my thoughts by Tanaka-senpai's voice.
"Hey. Don't underestimate us!" I avert my eyes to his voice, only to see Hinata on his knees sitting before him. "We all know you're a lousy player. Daichi-san knows it, and yet he let's you play."
"Huh?"
"As for getting switched for another player...." He seems to think about it for a moment, "Think about it when you get switched!"
"Huh?!" This time it is Hinata who gives him a disbelieving look. Takeda-sensei stop next to me, and gestures to them with a concerned glance. "Shouldn't you jump in?"
"So don't worry about something that hasn't happened yet. You don't have the brains for that."
I smile softly. "I think that there isn't any need for that." He gives me a confused glance but turns back to them talking, "Listen to me. In volleyball, everybody on this side of the net is your alley. It doesn't matter if you're lousy. It doesn't matter if you're a nuisance. You can slow us down. That's okay. But to make up for those things...." He points to himself, grinning widely, "That's why you have your team and your senpais!"
"Oh!" Tanaka-senpai looks too smug for his own good.
"Go on. Call me Tanaka-senpai." I sweat drop at that. So that also plays a role....
"Tanaka-senpai!"
Next to me Sugawara-senpai also sweat drops, and I jump slightly as I see all of the sudden the captain next to me.
"Say it again."
"He just wants to be called 'senpai'."
"Tanaka-senpai!"
"Yeah, but Tanaka was really helpful just now. His speech was totally effective because he seems to have no ulterior motive." I nod at that. Well, at least they got Hinata back on track.
