Everyone had been having the time of their lives.  Even Tanaka and Noya had calmed down enough to focus on all of the cute girls so that Ennoshita didn't have to wrangle them every five minutes before they embarrassed themselves.  There was loud music blaring, people dancing, and a lot of chatter, especially around his group of second years.  It was nice of Takeda-sensei and Coach Ukai to host such a fun event, and more than ever, Ennoshita was so glad that he had decided not to quit volleyball after all.

As his friends began to venture out, feeling brave enough to ask girls for dances, Chikara Ennoshita was quietly observing the party from the background. 

No.  That wasn't quite true. 

Chikara was quietly observing you.

The way you moved about the floor with Oikawa, the captain of the volleyball team you managed.  The way your outfit seemed to suit you perfectly.  The way that, even though you seemed to be having a good time dancing, with every spin your eyes searched the room before landing on Ennoshita.  Again and again you spotted him.

When the song ended and Oikawa gave a little bow to thank you for the dance, you turned towards Ennoshita, and he pushed off the wall to ask for a turn himself.  Almost instantly, the kid with the pinkish hair...Hanamaki, he recalled...Hanamaki stepped in front of you to ask for the next dance.

You pouted and looked over Hanamaki's shoulder to catch Chikara's gaze.  You looked almost expectant and he suddenly felt like dashing for the door.  Instead, he smiled disappointedly and motioned for you to go ahead and dance with Hanamaki, before leaning himself back against the wall.

It seemed almost like the members of Seijou were purposely dominating your time this evening, so boys from other schools wouldn't be able to talk to you.  He huffed a short laugh through his nose, reminded of Tanaka and Noya spending the year "protecting" their own "precious manager," Kiyoko.  He hadn't really thought anyone on Aoba Josai's team compared with his troublesome peers, so if that was really what they were doing, it was both amusing and surprising...

And frustrating.

He'd been waiting for a chance to spend time alone with you all evening-- all week-- even longer than that, if he were truly counting.  Every game where Karasuno had faced off against Seijou, you seemed to watch him closely, like you were studying what he was studying, trying to predict the next move Karasuno would make.  Sometimes you would whisper to the coach and the very next play Aoba Josai would just seem to know what Karasuno was up to.  Sometimes, you would guess incorrectly, and Chikara's eyes would gleam defiantly at you after helping Karasuno with a play that scored.

But that little chess match of yours grew more and more difficult each time.  You were quick witted and excellent at reading people.  At least, you certainly seemed to be excellent at reading him.  Even though he didn't get the chance to play often, for some reason you seemed to single him out, and something about that excited him.  During Karasuno's match with Shiratorizawa, Ennoshita had caught a glimpse of you watching in the stands, even though your team had just been beaten the previous day.

He didn't get the opportunity to go in for that game, and your eyes seemed to watch with frustration at each missed chance for him.  Every time he felt like he could go in and really help out the team, you seemed to think so, too.  He even caught you scowl and say something to yourself when they made another sub that didn't involve him.
