❛ 𝓣 、 gleaming brown hues gradually lift in gaze the closer his teammate comes , that perpetual scowl a view he’s conditioned to have gotten used to . at the rebuttal to his pride , the clementine - haired middle blocker feels mirrored irritation bubble up within him , bouncing on the heels of his feet in order to get to a much higher altitude . ‘ w - well then , what was your grade then , huh ?! at least i did better than just getting a nineteen ! ’ an angry flush coats his entire complexion & if one looks close enough , perhaps they could even witness smoke drifting from his ears in a concoction of embarrassment & irritation . however , red - hot anger flushes itself out when the setter before him retracts , doesn’t particpate in a catfight with him it’s then that someone as simple - minded as himself realizes that it isn’t anything so minor such as a bad grade or the lack of milk in machines . shōyō’s the furthest from offering good advice to others , he cannot muster anything akin to the advice their senpais can offer to tobio so instead he holds out a ball , painted with stripes of orange & green . ‘ let’s practice , kageyama . ’ he stares at him with eyes that are devoid of the stupidity he had displayed prior & instead has an intense gleam to them , a challenge of sorts .
he nearly retorts something about him getting nineteen before on a test but instead , as he turns his head back to look at him , eyes widen slightly as there is a ball now extended towards him . the familiarity of orange &&. green stripes adorn the mostly white ball . eyes connect with shoyo’s for a moment , it’s one of those moments in which the shorter becomes serious &&. it always makes a shiver run up his spine . it has since the very moment they met on the court in middle school . how brown eyes had once been derived of all other emotion than seriousness . always so intense . it always manages to still tobio , even if just for a moment . perhaps a corner of his lips slowly shifts upwards into a smirk . “ alright . ” grabbing the orange &&. green stripped ball , he’s grateful it’s only them in the gymnasium for now . pulling off his jacket , over dressed for inside but the cooler temperature of the evenings has him chilled to the bone . “ let’s practice our spikes .. ” in truthfulness , he wasn’t even sure where to begin with practicing anymore . his own improvement is lacking in so many places . middle school has so to speak made him incredibly insecure . hinata truly had no idea just how important he was to their team , a decoy but also middle blocker with incredibly strength &&. agility . it made him .. envious . more than anyone could possibly know of . he stands there for a moment , not a word said before stancing himself in a way to throw a ball shoyo’s way . “ don’t just stand there , idiot .. ” brows furrow , a huff from lips .
