Kenma and Hinata were still not minding anyone and in their own little world. Soon they were snapped out of it by Kageyama grabbing the collar of Hinata's shirt and dangling him.

"Oww Bakayama that hurts!" Hinata voiced out.

"BOKE DID YOU CHEAT!" An angry Kageyama yelled out startling both Hinata and Kenma.

The managers soon came to the rescue along with angry crow parents and an angry mama cat.

"Put him down! You're scaring them!" Yaku yelled out at Kageyama before bringing his baby kitten into a hug.

"Sho~Chan did not cheat! He prepared the meal from literary scratch. He could cook again and you can watch." Kaori explained while Dadchi and Sugamama pulled Hinata off of Kageyama.

Hinata looked scared and was brought into a hig by Kiyoko. At the mention of cooking, Hinata's eyes started to sparkle.

"Can I? I have a great idea for lunch!"

"Of course Sho~Chan!" Yukie quickly agreed.

Hinata jumped with childlike excitement, Hinata then dragged Kenma to the gym to practice volleyball before they started cooking lunch.

Kuroo, Bokuto, Akaashi, and Tsukishima followed the two so they could do a 3 v 3.

They decided the teams, The Cats being Kenma, Kuroo and Hinata vs The Owls being Akaashi, Bokuto and Tsukishima.

The two teams had fun while Kuroo and Bokuto were teaching the two first years blocking and spiking techniques. Kenma and Akaashi took Hinata under their wing when he asked if he could learn a bit of setting.

"Why do you want to learn setting? You have the king."

"Isn't there going to be a time he isn't there? What happens if he gets injuries mid game and we need a backup setter? We have Suga~Senpai but wouldn't more setters be helpful in the end?"

"You actually sounded smart for once." Tsukishima remarked.

"Shoyo I could help teach you." Kenma said

"I can help as well."

"You will! Thank you Kenma and Mamakaashi!" Hinata yelled in excitement while bouncing on his feet.

"Okay so you want to think where you want to hit it and where you want the ball to go. How fast and who's going to hit it are also important factors," Akaashi explained.

"You want to get under the ball and hit it up and over you to where the spikers are. No Sho like this." Kenma explained after watching Shoyo set the ball wrong.

After a good 30 minutes of Kenma and Akaashi explaining how to set to not only Hinata but also Tsukishima, who decided to learn as well, the two finally were able to set okay.

"Hinata, Tsukishima you want to make a connection with the spike, try not to think about the ball but more the spiker." Kenma said hoping it makes since.

"Soo make a connection with the spiker and use that friendship to set it to them?"

"Correct! Now try with Bokuto Hinata since you too have the best friendship here, Tsukishima try spiking to Kuroo. After you successfully set 5 spikes you can try each other." Akaashi explained.

Hinata, surprisingly, was the first to set 5 spikes. Tsukishima and Hinata thought about their friendship instead of the ball. The two were both able to set to each other easily.

"Tsukki!"

"Yes Hinata?"

"Let's keep this a secret and use it mid game!"

"Why..?"

"Because Kageyama would be all 'Hinata boke do you think saltyshima is better than me? Fine I won't set to you anymore'"

"Sounds about right..."

"Mmh so secret Tsukki!"

"Sure and don't call me Tsukki."

"Why!"

"Because only my friends can call me that."

"Where are friends... right?"

"...sure"

"Then I can call you Tsukki!"

"Whatever."

Hinata's eyes were sparkling at Tsukishima. Hinata quickly went over to Kenma and told hom what happened. Tsukishima noticed the similar marks the two had.

"Hinata!"

"Yes Tsukki?"

"Is Kenma your soulmate?"

"Mmh hmm! You're the third to figure out! Suga~Senpai and Mamakaashi are the other two!"

"Congrats...I guess?"

"Thank you Tsukki!"
