Song: Haikyuu!! Kenma (High Hopes)
The day before, during practice. As coach had the team practicing, he spoke only loud enough for me to hear him and not the rest of the team
"Listen, (y/n)" looking to him and away from the court "during our practice match in Tokyo, i've arranged for Karasuno to join us as well"
"Huh? Why is that sir?" not really expecting this, but seeing as how Karasuno did have Kenma dive for the ball. Which he's never done, could show that school brings out the side of him that enjoys the sport
"Seeing as their setter and first-years need more practice games against other teams, it might be the best option for them. Besides, they may have some new tricks up their sleeves"
"I'd have to agree everyone needs training, especially Shoyo and his main setter, Kageyama. Still, we can't let our guard down" with that being the final thing said, coach dismissed everyone after telling everyone the plan
-now-
Yawning with my arms stretching up, Kuroo was behind me getting the volleyball gym room key out as Kenma played on his phone. Rubbing my eyes just as Kenma sneezes in my direction, just barely dodging "ack!"
"Gross!" Yamamoto yelled with a slight glare
Yaku was quick to pull out tissues "use a tissue!"
Kuroo caught Kenma's phone as I ran into him in my attempt to dodge the sneeze "careful, Chibi-chan" smirking down at me
Standing back up straight as soon as Yaku blew Kenma's nose "no need to tell me twice" scowling at him, going to the other side of Kenma
"Just making sure you don't hurt yourself"
"I'd rather Kenma than you" turning my head away, the team chuckled at this as he grumbled while opening the door for us to get inside
When getting inside Kenma got chills "Maybe I caught a cold...I'm getting chills"
"Huh? How, you don't usually catch colds often. If it's chills, let's go somewhere warm after"
"Not right before the tournament you're not!" yelled Yamamoto this time
"Yeah, it might actually be a little cold today" Yaku spoke agreeing with Kenma seemingly also getting cold
"You too, Yaku?"
"Huh? Both of you? That's odd"
"I'm hot! I'm burning with passion to win!" Yamamoto shouted out of nowhere
"The heck is going on with you guys?" sighing at the three
Kuroo walked up with his towel around his neck "Yamamoto, shut up" not even batting an eye at scolding him
"Are you guys going to be better for the tournament or are you guys not feeling good?" still concerned for the teams health
"Hm? The chills seemed to have gone away" Kenma spoke scowling at his arm. Yaku also nodded seeing as he wasn't feeling chilly anymore
"That's good, it'd suck to see you guys end up sick" letting out a thankful sigh at this information
"Right, oh yeah. Aren't you also going to Tokyo for the training with the other schools, (y/n)" Kenma wondered before he walked onto the court
"Yup, sure am. Coach said I should come with. Except, I'll probably be nervous around the other players. So I may need to stick by your side before some of the matches"
"That's good news"
"Kenma, before you get into the practice match, mind if I come over? I saw this cool game I wanted to show you" smiling towards him
"Yeah, sure" he pats my head before getting on the court to start the practice match along with volleyball drills they need to do
-after volleyball practice-
Making it to Kenma's place, taking my shoes off with him as he mentioned before we got here that his parents weren't home. You figured as much since he doesn't really mention them. After getting to his room, he sets his backpack down, putting mine next to his. Digging through it for the game
The sound of a phone buzzing was heard, peeking out from my search to see it was Kenma's which he had set on his bed. Fixing his volleyball jacket he picks it up. Looking over to see it was a message from Shoyo 'Tokyo's starting their IH prelims tomorrow, right? Do your best!' was all it said
"Hey, good to see you're talking to Shoyo" smiling towards him as he glanced away before messaging him back
Giggling as he sent his message 'yeah, it's starting up...you guys are coming over here, right?' giving him a side hug, noticing the flinch, but he didn't try pulling me off
"Silly Kenma, coach told you Karasuno would be coming to Tokyo. Remember?" smiling towards him. Seeing Kenma in a good mood, was something I always enjoyed
His phone went off again with the all caps message from Hinata 'WE'RE TOTALLY GOING!!!!! WE'RE GONNA WIN THIS TIME, JUST YOU WAIT!!!!'
"Heh, looks like Shoyo hasn't lost his hyperactive attitude. You should tell him about our match"
"Oh, yeah. He'd probably ask if I don't tell him" texting him how our last games went 'we made it through the first round. This week is round two of prelims'
"We'll definitely make it in the next round. We'll show Shoyo how much stronger we've gotten" catching his attention with my first sentence
"I don't think they'll be slacking since our practice match with them, they could have easily improved since then" he sighed before setting his phone back down and setting the system up
"Yes, that's true. But it's also true we've definitely gotten better, plus I heard from coach we're having the first-year join us in Tokyo" rummaging through my bag again before finding the game and handing it to him
"He could use this to learn more and get better" commented Kenma as he set the game in the console as I sat next to him to play the game with him. Seeing as he adjusts quickly to new games, I'd always let him be the first player. I guess he liked being first player and not second
"Coach was also thinking the same thing when we spoke about heading to Tokyo for the practice matches with the other schools. Hopefully him and the other teams don't end up very chaotic as they already are" sighing
"I'll have to set for him more as well so he won't miss or mess it up" Kenma sighed too as I grabbed the bag of snacks Kenma bought yesterday he never got to, mentioning we could have some as we played this game
Once starting, we only played a few games before telling him I had to go home. Not without telling him he needed to get some sleep tonight because of the Tokyo IH prelims tomorrow
