"w-what are you d-doing here, k-kiiro?" nishinoya rubbed his nape as he looked down at his shoes.

after kiiro's appearance, the entire team offered to walk her to the place she'll be staying at. though not everyone offered to do so, one of them, like tsukishima was forced to tag along. the blond remained at the very back beside yamaguchi while he intensely stared at the pair upfront.

kiiro glanced towards the libero, "i called you last time and told you about the training this week, didn't i?"

nishinoya blinks multiple times, slowly remembering their conversation from days ago.

…

"kii!" nishinoya answered the call with a rather loud voice, making the other person in line wince and sigh.

"ohayō, yū-kun."

nishinoya grinned so widely after hearing her voice, and he could feel his cheeks straining. "why did you call, kiiro?" he asked.

"i'm just letting you know that i'll be out of town after the qualifiers to handle some training."

"eh? to where?"

"to miyagi."

…

"soka! you did mention that!" nishinoya said and looked at her with a curiousity. "what kind of training you'll be handling though?" he asked.

kiiro sighed, "a volleyball training for the elementary and middle schoolers."

"wow, that's cool, kiiro-san!" sugawara popped up beside the girl with a warm smile, while also maintaining a safe distance from her to respect her space.

the raven-haired girl slightly bowed to acknowledge his statement and looked away from him immediately. "he's respectful and polite, and his smile is so cute too." she also smiled, but mentally.

their walk didn't take any longer as they finally arrived at an apartment block. kiiro turned to face the group of boys before respectfully bowing to them and giving them a small wave. "thank you for accompanying me," she said right after.

a beauty.

a former athlete.

a clever person.

and a polite one.

just how perfect she could be…

"no worries, kiiro-san! we wish you all the best in the training!" daichi responded.

as they went to leave, kiiro remained in her spot, watching their figures until none of them were longer within her sight. her golden orbs then glanced to the side and she sighed to herself.

"what are you still doing here, bitchshima?"

the said blond went up to her with his usual stoic face, but kiiro knew better — that this boy in front of her is somehow pissed off for who knows what. she was about to speak up once again when the male held out his phone towards her.

kiiro glanced down at his phone with scrunched eyebrows before looking up at him. "what do you want me to do with that?" she questioned.

tsukishima clicked his tongue in annoyance, not liking how the latter doesn't get what he was trying to imply. "your number," was his response.

her eyes widened by a fraction, and her cheeks suddenly felt warm for a second. "w-what would you do with my number?" she mumbled.

tsukishima then stared down at her, smirking as he witnessed how quickly she broke their eye contact. "just in case you get lost or whatever. you're in miyagi, in an unknown place to you, so…"

kiiro almost choked on her own saliva as she wasn't expecting to hear that kind of thing from the rudest guy she ever met. however, his statement was somewhat familiar to her.
 
i think i heard that before… or was i the one who said it? but when? to whom? why? how?

"whatever you say," she grumbled and took the phone to type down her number. "there," and handed it back to him.

tsukishima mumbled 'thanks' to which the latter acknowledged with a hum. kiiro looked at her wrist watch and said, "it's getting late. go home already."

the blond only nodded, but his next action stunned kiiro. his hand rested on her head before gently patting it twice before taking a step back from her.

"see you around." tsukishima softly smiled to her, then fled the scene without sparing another glance at the frozen kiiro, alone with her thoughts going on rampage.

what...
