Good luck on your match

You smile at the text from Kenma, whenever you inform him of a match, he'd make sure to wish you luck.

It's Friday, meaning that Karasuno was coming over to have a practice match. Oikawa had the coach set it up so Kageyama would play as setter the entire match, the rest of the team and you had already gotten used to his petty antics.

But Oikawa couldn't play in this match, since he stupidly sprained his ankle at practice. Stupid. He has kept on insisting that it was healed, so you're expecting him to somehow sneak his way into the match.

You quickly text a 'thank you' to Kenma, then follow Yahaba and Kindaichi to the gym.

You walk behind them, gazing at the crows that perched on the wall, the two did not realize your presence. So you decide to keep it that way, and not to butt into their conversation.

"Hey," Yahaba says to Kindaichi, "doesn't he go to Karasuno? The school we're playing today?"

"Who?" Kindaichi asks.

"The King of the Court." Yahaba answers.

Ah, they're talking about Kageyama. You realize, your gaze still focused on the crows rather than the two in front of you.

You knew that Kindaichi has a past with Kageyama, them being in the same year and all, you also knew about Kageyama's fall out, the reason he wasn't in Seijoh.

"You're from the same middle school as him, right, Kindaichi?" Yahaba's question makes Kindaichi turn his head to face the second year.

"Oh, you mean Kageyama?" You take a mental note that Kindaichi says the name with poorly-hidden irritation. "There's nothing special to him."

You blank out on the rest of their conversation, lost in your thoughts as you think about what to have for lunch.

You only start to pay attention again once you hear footsteps of another around the back of the school wall.

"Oh yeah, and one of them looks like a thug. He's got a shaved head, mean eyes, and he looks kind of dumb."

As soon as Yahaba says that, someone who perfectly matches the description peers from around the corner, wearing a threatening smile.

You stifle a laughter as Yahaba and Kindaichi flinch, whilst the delinquent-looking guy walks around the corner with three others, all wearing matching black jerseys.

"I wouldn't mock my team too much. We'll tear you apart." The unnamed boy announces threateningly.

Since you were behind the two, the four that you assume are from Karasuno seem not to notice you as they continue to tease your two teammates. You observe them from behind nonchalantly.

The delinquent male seems to be the senpai. A taller one with pale skin, short blonde hair and thick-rimmed glasses stands besides another with green-brown?-hair and freckles. You also recognize Kageyama being apart of the group.

Although you could come to your teammates' rescue, it was kind of funny to see them flinch.

You ignored the players, gaze wondering to behind the Karasuno players, where the rest of their team seemed to be. You quickly spot a head of orange behind the four.

A/N: if you couldn't tell it's early morning and I wrote this half asleep, sorry if it's confusing. Anyways I'm going back to bed, have a good day :)
