Two with one crown (UshiTen)

Easy (part 4)

I look at them both, confused.

"What do you mean? Look, I know you don't like him, but-"

"no, no, no!"

Hashimoto interrupts.

"Seriously! He'll be all friendly and nice, you'll think he's a super cool dude, and the second you actually start to become his friend,"

Murakami interrupts.

"BAM!"

"He's dropped you like a fly." Hashimoto finishes.

I still look confused.

"He just try's to get to know you so he can find out your weaknesses and use them against you later on."

The taller of the two tells me, eyes wide.

"Yeah, and he's really damn good at it, too! Like, all he has to do is look at you and he can already tell who you are. It's super freaky."

The blonde continues. I look at the both of them.

"I dunno. He seems nice."

I state.

"OHMYGODDD Thats exactly what we're trying to tell you! He SEEMS nice, but he's not!!"

The shorter one shouts.

I jump in surprise, and nod at him before speaking.

"Okay, I understand. Thank you for the warning."

Despite what I say, I still catch a glimpse of the red head as I walk away. There's no way I can ignore this guy, something about him reels me in.

~+_+~ no pov ~+_+~

Ushijima walks away from the two boys, wondering what they meant by what they said.

"Ushijima, please come here for a moment?"

Hirano said, calling him over. Ushijima nods and walks over to where his upperclassman is standing, noting that Tendou is standing there with him.

"Yes?"

He puts a hand on Tendou's back.

"Would you mind practicing with Tendou for a while?"

He asked with a smile. Tendou looked at the taller boy with a smile as well, although his isn't as sincere. It's more of a judging look, like he's trying to figure something out.

"Yes, of course. Come with me."

He replied, leading the redhead to the net. The other boy complies, following the taller.

"So, what position do you play?"

The olive-brown haired boy asked.

"Hmm..."

He starts.

"I play Middle Blocker."

He grabs a volleyball out of the bin and hands it to Ushijima.

"Alright. I play Wing Spiker and Opposite Hitter."

They walk on opposite sides of the net.

"What do you want to be?"

Ushijima looked at the other boy, confused.

"Oh come on. Don't tell me that you don't wanna be something big. Like the ace or something?"

Tendou tilts his head with his question.

"Oh, well..."

He took a moment to think of his answer.

"I would like to be the Ace. Maybe even the captain one day."

He got into position.

"Bingo."

Tendou said under his breath, smiling before getting into position as well.

"Too easy."

Oh gosh, I'm so sorry that I keep changing the lengths of the chapters. I'm really trying to keep it consistent 😭💖
