━━━━ kuroo tetsurou.
it's funny how the world works sometimes; one minute you are at your peak, the next you feel as if everything was so heavy you couldn't breathe. it's funny how you want to be alone yet someone wanted you to join their world. it'...
As the game progressed to the climax of the first set, with Kakugawa scoring gradually throughout the remainder of the game's first half, the boys and Ukai Sr. delved into a conversation regarding the speed of one's start-up and Yukimi found herself in deep thought once again. So Shoyo, being the animated volleyball maniac that he is, surpassed the mentioned tempos and even balancing himself on a thin line called the minus tempo. Damn, for such a young kid, he could move way beyond normal numbers and tasting the advantage of possessing such speed. Interestingly, with the way he bounced in court, Shoyo couldn't still grasp the basic stances for receiving and not having a steady foot when drifting at different points in their rotation. That much Yukimi can observe for now.
Beside her, Yachi was busy taking down notes from the conversation, encircling certain things like 'whoosh' and 'baam' on her paper as she described the minus tempo Shoyo exhibited. Yukimi couldn't help but chuckle under her breath. Yachi is effortlessly adorable and it clearly shows as the younger girl pursed her lips, her eyes narrowed at her writing.
And with a resounding smack on Kakugawa's court, Karasuno bagged the first set.

Daichi nearly backed away when Yukimi waved him over with sparkling eyes. It looked wondrous to others, specifically two certain second-years, first-years, and some lingering players making their way out of the gymnasium as the first day of the preliminaries ended on a good note. The medium-haired girl was beside their second manager and was laughing radiantly, the sight of that being utterly heavenly. However, for the boy, it was anything but. The look on his childhood friend wasn't sitting right with him for so many reasons. One of them being her penchant for emptying his wallet every time he wins his games. He really wanted his wallet to be full despite having the urge of celebrating their win but here they are, Daichi accepting defeat by absentmindedly patting his sling bag, his face set in a blank smile that might have resembled a dead fish. The latter description wasn't something he came up with but ratherー
"Stop looking like a dead fish, Daichi!" Yukimi laughed, reaching out to give her friend firm pats on the back. "I have no plans of emptying your wallet."
The boy made a funny face as he regarded his caramel-eyed childhood friend. "I find that hard to believe."
"Relax, it's your day today," she replied with a smile that alleviated some doubt from Daichi's mind. "I'll be helping your mom cook something up. Don't worry, we'll be spending time in your room tonight and watch the movies I picked out."
From what Yukimi said, everyone from Karasuno turned their heads to stare at the pair. They couldn't help it when the medium-haired girl said it so casually that would rack up bizarre ideas from the group. And looking at their captain being so resigned at the thought of spending time with her (stressing the fact that they're comfortable with each other to the point of going inside the boy's room), they concluded that the two had done this a couple of times. Hinata placed both of his hands on the sides of his face, screeching at the realization and possibilities of the pair of friends inside a four-walled space, making Kageyama look at him warily. Sugawara and Asahi had their jaws dropped on the ground, the two of them staring incredulously at Daichi. Their friend had no time for girls when in school but now? The gray-haired setter was already planning on kicking his friend in the ass because of this measly reason.
