KENJI POUTS AS he walks to his high school. his doctor told him to take it easy for a few weeks, hence his mother didn't allow him to jog to and from school for a few months. she even wanted to drive him to school everyday then wait for his club period to finish, and then she'll drive him home. kenji finds it suffocating.

but of course, he can't complain. your son almost died and you can't do anything but pray and watch as his dreams get crushed right before his eyes. of course you'll get overprotective.

the brunet, clad in the school uniform that was safely kept inside his wardrobe for almost a year, smiled as he stopped in front of the gates. he's already late, the bell for the end of the first afternoon class just rang, and he still had papers to take care of and teachers he needs to meet.

looks like the volleyball club needs to wait, huh?

he grins as he entered the building, smiling at every student he recognized, and greeting every teacher he encounters. he needs to talk to the principal and manage his papers with his new homeroom adviser, then he's free to roam around the school.

it took almost 2 hours to do everything he needed to do. by the time he was done, after-school club activities are on-going and he's already hungry. the lunch his mother made him eat was not enough for his appetite. still, he wanted to check one more place before he walks home. his most favorite place in the school grounds, the volleyball gym.

there's a bounce on his steps as he approaches the gym door. he peaks inside and saw familiar faces sitting on the floor. it seems like they're having a meeting.

"well then, let's have the captain pump us all up."

kenji chuckles. daichan always knows what to say to pump everyone up. it's almost like his magic power.

"it's the stage karasuno has been to just once in the past." he said after he stood up. "tokyo. the orange court." he turns around. "we're going there one more time!" the brunet smirks. seems like a plan.

"all right!" they shout simultaneously, jumping in their excitement.

kenji breathes in deep before he speaks.

"do you mind another member then?"

all heads turn to his direction. he jumps in surprise of all the attention. some of them are confused, some are curious, but most of them are very happy they're almost in tears.

"kenji-san!!"

said teen chuckles as all of the third and second years rush to his direction. he steps inside the gym and grins widely. "wow, it's like nothing's changed in this gym huh?"

he blinks dumbly when a body collides with him. wait, no, two bodies. three? nope, he gave up on counting.

he pats the back of the body who clung to him from the front. it's like he's a tree branch and the other person is a koala.

"here, here. yes, i missed you too. okay, okay, i'll give away free hugs." he chuckles.

sugawara pulls the koala away, now known as nishinoya, as daichi steps forward and ruffles kenji's hair as a greeting.
