One More Win: Ch 1

His heart caught in his throat as the ball sprang from his fingertips. It was a wild toss with far more power than he usually used, and it shot like a bullet to the other end of the court. Most of his teammates gaped at it, none of them in any position to try to meet it. That was fine by him, he wasn’t aiming for them.
Like a wave swelling above the ocean’s surface, Ushijima soared up to the net, his eyes focused with his arm raised high. The blockers on the other team scrambled to cut him off, but they were too late.

Oikawa puffed out his chest and gifted Ushijima with a cocky grin. Ushijima shook his head, his lips curled up in a slight smile. They were long past old resentments and misunderstandings, but Oikawa wasn’t the type to melt into sappiness. At least, not without a little provocation to start.
