Smooth Criminal

At the end of the second set, Karasuno took a break.

"How can someone have that much energy stored up..." Tsukishima groans, sitting down. The team looks over at the two girls, who are still jumping around like crazy. Must be the adrenaline. "C'mon. You guys aren't tired yet? Tiredyama, what's wrong?" Hinata asks, teasing. "Hinata, haven't you been taught to not poke the bear?" Suga scolds. "Sorry Suga..." Hinata walks away, shooting Kageyama a playful grin to which he rolls his eyes to. He looks down at his water and faintly smiles.

Kuroo, all the way across the court, saw his crush "flirt" with Karasuno's setter. This made his blood boil, and he became even more determined to win the girl's affection. Of course, he didn't know that it was just Hinata's personality.

"Kuroo. We just need to win this set and you can eat with her." Yaku said, snapling him out of his thought. "R-Right, Yaku-san..." he said with a nervous tone. 'What if I lose this...I can't mess this up...I want to-No. I need to see her.' Kuroo thought. Right now, there was nothing more he wanted than to see the crow right in front of him.

Kuroo was nervous throughout the third set. Thankfully- for Nekoma, at least- that didn't interfere with his play. It was probably better than before.

And his play was what was going to get them their winning point.

It was now a deuce. Both teams were extremely tired and the girls' adrenaline was wearing out. 'Just a little more...' both teams thought in exasperation. It felt like the Nationals, but they were playing for something else.

Who would win the blockers' heart...?

It was Kageyama's turn to serve. He did a powerful jump serve and it landed on the other side of the gym. Point.

'Let's just take them out all at once...' Kageyama thought to himself, trying to steady his breathing. Another jump serve. This one, however was cleanly recieved by Yaku, making its way toward Kenma.

He set it to Yamamoto, spiking across the court. 'Damn it...' Kageyama thought as he was patted on his back by his teammates. Nekoma served, and it was recieved by Tanaka, the ball making its way toward Kageyama as he was about to set it to Hinata on instinct. But suddenly...

BAM.

The ball was blocked. Nekoma won the game. "Aw man!" Hinata whines, even sadder that her ball was blocked. (cock block hehe) He looks up at who blocked it to see Nekoma's number 1. "Nice block!" Hinata praised him, trying to hide her anger. "T-Thanks!" Kuroo gushes. "Nice spike." Kuroo replies. "You think so?" Hinata's head perks up. "Mhm! Are you doing anything after dinner. Maybe we could hangout?" Kuroo asks, getting glares from...a few people. "No, I'm free! I assume Kenma's coming..?" she asks, looking at Kenma, smiling.  Now it's Kuroo's turn to glare. Kenma puts his arms up in defense and replies."Uh, yeah. I'll be there.." Kuroo's expression darkened and Kenma rolled his eyes. 'I can't leave clueless Hinata alone with him...' he thought to himself. "Great! Then I'll be there!" Hinata says, cheerily. Some of the team members physically face-palm. She skipped back to the group. The group huddled over her, towering her.

"Can I come~" Tanaka asks in his creepy face. 'I'll beat those shitty boys for tryna mess with Karasuno...' he thought to himself. "No, you'll scare them away. Tanaka retreated back to where he was and thought, 'That's the point...'. "I wanna go alone! I'll be okay!" Hinata reassures as she drink down her water. "Whatever you say..." Suga says. He looks at the team. He points at Kageyama, Noya, and Tanaka. He nods at them and their eyes immediantly spark. With exitement, or anger, no one could tell. Point is, they were also going on that trip.

'Bad choice of spies but it's for the plot...'
(Shush Suga. 😂)

It was after the second game, which Karasuno unfortunately lost. They were all sweaty and hungry. The girls decided to hit the showers first, which the third-years weren't too mad about. A certain one, though, had to be restrained as to not go peeking around.

They finished their shower, and Hinata came out wearing jeans, and a pastel orange blouse. "Aren't you gonna eat first?" Daichi asks, trying to get his baby crow to stay home. "No, we're going to eat out. We'll probably be back at like...6:40?" Hinata says looking at the clock on the wall.

Kageyama, Tanaka and Noya still. 'Three hours without eating...' they thought together. Kageyama was the first to go back into reality. He ran towards his bag and took out three power bars. He handed them one each and they started eating them with tears streaming down their cheeks.

"What's wrong?! You're not hungry? I heard Kiyoko was cooking today." Hinata asks, genuinely concerned. The tears on their faces streamed down even more, hearing they were gonna miss Kiyoko's cooking. "N-No, we're fine." Noya sobbed, mouth filled with power bar. "It's j-just...really good..." Noya sobs harder. The rest of the team had to refrain themselves from laughing, but Narita got his phone out and started recording.

Suddenly there was a knock at the door. Kenma bursted through the door, slammed it just and locked it. Right after he locked it, there was a huge "BOOM" sound as if something ran into it. He collapsed on the floor. "What are you doing here, Kenma?" he stiffened when Hinata's voice. 'Out of all the rooms to enter...' he said to himself jumping up.
"Quick, we got to go." (Idk what I'm doing here. But yes.)

Kenma dragged Hinata towards the window, but stopping in front of Daichi. "Why are you leaving?" Daichi asks, concerned. "Look, it's either me, or Kuroo. You choose." Kenma said, letting go of Hinata's hand. Daichi looked at Suga, who nodded in Kenma's direction.

"Fine, but take them three too." he shoved the other three idiots in front of him. He gave Daichi a 'You can't ve serious.' look, but quickly snapped out of it when he heard another bang at the door. "Guess I'll be a smooth criminal today..." Kenma sighed and Hinata looked at him confused. "Micheal Jackson reference," he said climbing out the window.
