Why doesn’t this guy react quicker? Kageyama really doesn’t get it (there’s a lack of common sense, maybe), but he does know that he doesn’t want to be involved with any of this. Unfortunately, though, as slow as Murasakibara seems to be at first, he works fast enough to stop the volleyball player from leaving, at least, and that makes everything worse.
The oven was now on fire and, instead of getting away from it, he was stuck here with this person. Great. Kageyama had to wonder if anyone had ever told him that you can’t just grab someone that you don’t even know, but he supposed that they hadn’t, because if they had, he wouldn’t be in this situation right now.
"Dude!" He attempted to tug away, despite the taller boy’s choice of tone, getting more and more irritated by the second. "I didn’t do that, you..!" Kageyama trailed off, his train of thought interrupted by the sudden droplets of water falling from the ceiling and onto them— no, onto everything. So the sprinklers had been activated. Fan-fucking-tastic. "Let go already!"
Kageyama's attempts at getting away are about as effective as attempting to knock over a brick wall armed with nothing but a shopping cart and a truly impressive amount of stupidity. Murasakibara's grip doesn't relent, not even an inch, and the struggle only makes him more annoyed - enough that he shakes Kageyama with an exasperated grunt, not entirely unlike the way one might correct an errant dog.
Murasakibara appears not to notice the sudden spray until a particularly bold droplet slides from his brow and directly into his eye. His brows slide together, a storm of irritation and confusion, and his grip on Kageyama loosens in automatic reaction.
He turns reflexively to the Easy-Bake oven, reaching out to grab it in a fit of sudden but not necessarily rational concern. “My cake!” He pulls the oven towards him, lifting it up and out of harm’s way, until the flames licking the sides venture forth for a taste of his hands and with a cry of alarm he drops the entire thing, somewhere in the vicinity of Kageyama’s foot.
