Hinata's POV

     "Nice kill!" Daichi's cross shot was insane. Hinata ran to grab the ball, sweaty and wishing his cross shot could be as clean.

     "Match point for red!" Coach Ukai shouted. 21-24. Hinata loved Karasuno against Karasuno games, everyone was so strong. They could go on for eight, nine sets where everyone was playing all out.

     "Nice serve Ennoshita!" Suga called. The setter was on Hinata's team. The jump serve sadly went straight to Noya, who returned it neatly.

     "It's a little long, sorry," Noya called out.

     "Left!" Kageyama set to Tanaka who was coming in for a quick on the left. Tsukishima and Asahi jumped as blockers. In mid-air, Hinata saw it coming. An unexpected feint. He threw himself into a flying receive. Too late.

     "Yes!" Tanaka yelled from the other side of the court. He started to pull off his shirt in celebration but Suga cut him off with a look.

     "Hey, Hinata boke. You should be able to get that," Kageyama called out. He was fighting for air on the other side of the net, dissatisfied with his teammates' performance. Noya grinned at their banter and hit Hinata on the shoulder. "Yeah, Hinata."

     "I know Kageyama. I'll get the next one!" Hinata looked towards Coach Ukai to start the next set.

     "It's too late today." Coach Ukai frowned at the time. "Your rallies have gotten longer and longer. That's something you guys should be proud of. Let's clean up and go home."

     "Alright!" Karasuno called out. Hinata deflated a little. He turned around to see Yachi and Shimuzu handing out water bottles. The rest of the team was resting and starting to stretch.

     "Hey, Kageyama are you tired?" Hinata took a water bottle from Yachi.

     "No." Kageyama towelled his hair off.

     "Can you toss to me?" Hinata asked eagerly. He wanted to try polishing up his cross shot.

     "Yeah," Kageyama agreed readily. Hinata jumped up a little, excited. He was lucky Kageyama put up with his constant requests for tosses. Although Hinata had a suspicion Kageyama would toss to anyone for practice, it was nice he was that anyone.

     "Everyone, Yachi-chan and I washed your jackets so make sure to pick them up," Shimizu announces from the sidelines.

     "Alright!"

     "Hinata-kun, Kageyama-kun, I'll leave your jackets here, okay?" Yachi set down the jackets on the edge of the stage.

     "Okay! Thanks Yachi-san!" Hinata smiled.

     "Thanks." Kageyama focussed on his next toss. "Hey, boke!"

     Hinata turned around to find the ball already thrown by the setter. He sprinted towards it, catapulting himself to awkwardly slam his hand into it right before it fell past the top of the net. It reflected onto the other side and Hinata grinned triumphantly.

     "Pay more attention, that would never work in a game," Kageyama growled.

     "I got it in!" Hinata pointed to the ball. He knew Kageyama was right though. Annoyingly right.

     "That wouldn't work against blockers. Or any player who was thinking." Kageyama shot back. He seemed on edge today.

     "Aren't setters supposed to match up for spikers?" Hinata deadpanned. For a second he sounded scarily like Tsukishima. He shivered.

     "You little shit," Kageyama turned around, starting towards Hinata. He looked murderous. Hinata broke out into a cold sweat and ducked under the net to avoid the hits about to rain down. Yachi grinned at them.

Yachi's POV

     "They're so cute together!" Yachi said excitedly to Shimizu in the club room.

     "Shoyo and Kageyama?" Noya bust in. He started taking off his knee pads.

     "They're so cute on the court." Shimizu smiled. Tanaka died a little in the corner from the light of her smile.

     "Aren't they? I'm so glad they finally got together." Noya announced.

     "When did they get together?" Yachi arranged her bag, wondering out loud. The two had always been pretty close since she had joined.

     "December," Tanaka answered.

     "I thought it was February." Noya frowned and then shrugged.

     "They've always been drawn to each other. Especially on the court." Shimizu offered.

     "Shimizu-senpai, you're so wise." Tanaka sighed. Noya nodded. Yachi didn't disagree.

     "And they're always yelling at each other. But I bet they make out all the time when we aren't looking all the time." Noya laughed.

     "I'll bet you five meat buns they don't. Kageyama isn't that guy." Tanaka said with conviction.

     "I raise it to ten."

     "Deal."

     "Deal."
