Chapter Text

“What does that mean to realize that we’re teammates?” Shouyo asked.

“Obviously, you better learn not to fight every chance you get.” Kiyoomi rolled his eyes.

“Haa? Yer one to talk.” Atsumu raised a brow at him.

“You start all the fights, idiot.” Kiyoomi smirked.

“Settle down now.” Meian clapped his hands with a smile on his face. It didn’t look like a smile though.

‘Oh shoot. Daichi-san already influenced Meian-san.’ Shouyo shivered.

“Please let me in! Please let me play volleyball!” Shouyo cried at the closed gym door. “I’ll get along with Tobio, too! Please! ” Shouyo promised, bowing his head low while Sugawara is shown listening from inside.

“Let him in. We just wanna see Shouyo-kun play!” Atsumu whined.

“Shhh. I’m sure he will.” Inunaki said.

“Are you sure about this, Daichi?” Sugawara asked. “They’re still members.”

Tanaka was still laughing at the back, Daichi had his arms crossed.

“Your sense of humor is obviously broken.” Suga teased Tanaka who was laughing along with his screen counterpart.

“Teams come together gradually, anyway.” Sugawara continued.

“I know that, but…” Daichi’s words were cut from the sound of Tobio’s voice outside.

“But what?! Why’d he stop?”

“Oh my God! Just shut up, Miya!” Kiyoomi threw him a throw pillow from the couch but Atsumu was able to dodge and Shouyo got hit instead.

“Shouyo-kun! Don’t die!” Atsumu shouted.

“Atsumu-san, I assure you that I’ll stay alive.” Shouyo assured him seriously.

‘Why do they have to be so dramatic?’ Meian thought as he gave a sigh while the others snickered at the three’s antics.

“Out of my way, dumbass!” Tobio shouted as Shouyo got sprawled on the ground.

“I apologize!” Tobio shouted. “I swear I’ll get along with this guy. Please let me participate in the club!”

“Oh my kami!” Kourai laughed. “Are you sure you’ll get along with him like that?”

Tobio just looked away to hide his small pout.

“Kudos to Shouyo-kun for putting up with that.” Kourai said goodnaturedly, patting Tobio on the back to let him know he’s only teasing.

The sliding door opened, Tobio made some kind of gasping noise for half of Daichi’s terrifying face peering through the small opening.

“Are you sure you mean that?” Daichi asked in a dramatic voice.

Tobio gritted his teeth in effort of answering but Daichi’s left eye stared straight to his soul.

Everyone was in between giggling and shivering from the scene.

I admit

that was terrifying

 

Sugasen | at -- : -- am

:))))

 

“Remind me not to upset Daichi.” Bokuto shivered beside Shouyo who just laughed from the others’ reactions.

“If I had to cooperate with that guy in a match, I’d rather receive, spike, and toss all by myself.” the first year said with a scowl.

“Oh my Kami.” Kindaichi facepalmed but still released a laugh while Kunimi tried to repress a snort.

Oikawa, on the other hand, was laughing all by himself in sync with the laugh of Daichi in the video while writing another message on the chat just to tease his kouhai again,

“I can’t believe you just told me your true feelings.” Daichi wheezed. “But I think that’s a good thing. Still, in volleyball, you can’t drop the ball, you can’t hold the ball, and one player can’t touch the ball twice.”

“Well said.” Meian nodded and the others hummed in agreement, the other former team captains also acknowledging Daichi’s words.

Tobio listened with a pout with Shouyo listening intently beside him.

“How do you plan to play by yourself?” Daichi asked, then closed the door again.

“Oh man, they’re still not gonna get to play.” Atsumu sighed while Bokuto patted him in the back.

“Don’t worry Tsum-tsum! It’ll be worth it.”

Shouyo turned to Tobio. “Let me ask you something. Are you actually stupid?”

The team inside the gym was shown practicing while Shouyo was clinging and peeking through the windows.

 

Sugasen | at -- : -- am

You’re a little gremlin, @ninjashouyo. D’you know that? Hahahaha

 

ninjashouyo | at -- : -- am

ehh? why the sudden teasing, Suga senpai?

 

kageyamatobio | at -- : -- am

because you look like one all the time.

 

“I don’t!” Shouyo denied and looked around to see the others snickering. “Why are you guys like that? And I’m not so little anymore.”

“The court and ball are in front of my eyes and it sucks that I’m not allowed in…” he muttered solemnly before Tobio stood upsetly.

“Dammit! I have no time to waste like this.” Tobio spat. “I’m gonna make them let me in.”

Shouyo jumped down the window. “You realize we’re teammates now?”

“I’m a force to be reckoned with. That’s reason enough for me to be on the team.”

“Oh boy.” Koushi chuckled.

“Just what I’d expect from the Ki--.” Shouyo stopped before he mentioned the word ‘King’. “Anyway, what are you going to do?”

‘At least he’s not calling me king on purpose like bakashima.’ Tobio rolled his eyes, thoughts passing on how Kei always used the nickname to aggravate him. ‘Not like he stopped calling me that.’

“I’ll challenge them in a two-on-two match.” Tobio confidently declared. “If we win, they have to let us in. If we team up, we’ll appear friendly no matter how we feel. That will speed things up.”

Shouyo looked reluctant and listened to Tobio in disbelief.

“We’re going to challenge our senpais? What if we lose?”

“We won’t lose. You have me on your side.”

‘Is this guy for real?!’ Shouyo thought. ‘Does he really mean what he says?’

“You don’t say!” Oikawa huffed to himself. He was now lying on his stomach, ignoring the drowsiness he was starting to feel.

 

Tooru | at -- : -- am

@daichi if I were you, I would have kicked Tobio-chan out the minute he entered the gym.

 

daichi | at -- : -- am

Oh really?

 

iwahajime | at -- : -- am

@Daichi @kageyamatobio don’t bother listening to him. He acknowledges Tobio’s skills too much to actually do that.

 

kageyamatobio | at -- : -- am

Hell yeah! As he should!

Sorry.

That’s Hoshiumi-san.

 

With that, Oikawa Tooru’s muffled scream of ‘fury’ was heard inside his apartment in the middle of the night.

“You just need to do the best you can to not get in my way.”

Tobio’s statement made Shouyo angry.

“Huh?!” Shouyo stepped closer to Tobio with gritted teeth. “Do you think anyone would agree to that and be all, ‘Yes, I’ll do the best I can.’?”

“Yeah! Tell ‘im Shouyou-kun!” Atsumu shouted and quickly blocked the pillow thrown towards him by Kiyoomi. “Where the heck are ya even getting the pillows?!”

He was lightly hit by Inunaki though.

“Shush! I wanna hear this!” the older hushed.

“So what do you suggest?” Tobio asked, unfazed. “Keep gazing through that window?”

That made Shouyo lower his head, a shadow covering his eyes.

“In junior high, I was only in one real match, the one against your school.” he said quietly. “We didn’t have enough team members to apply for a tournament till then. I couldn’t have real practice, so I trained wherever I could. The gym, hallways, random corners...”

‘In hallways?’ Tobio repeated in his mind.

A flashback from Shouyo wearing his middle school club jersey is shown.

The audience watched quietly, still feeling bad about Shouyo’s middle school volleyball experience. 

“So that first tournament… when I stood at the center of the court in that huge gymnasium… I felt the spotlight on me,  I got worked up, like ‘Gwaaa!’” Shouyo reminisced, his middle school face shown gaping at the center of the court.

‘Gwaaa?’

A lot of them snickered and giggled at Tobio’s reactions.

 

NoyaTheVoyager | at -- : -- am

@ninjashouyo HAS THE BEST SOUND EFFECTS HAHAHAHA

 

“I wanted to stay there, but…” 

“Staying on the court…” The newspaper with the headline ‘Men’s Volleyball prefecture tournament: Kitagawa Daiichi, bitterly defeated’ was shown. “Only the strong can stay.” 

The former Kitagawa Daiichi players winced at the scene. It was years ago but they really do remember how bad that defeat was. Not because of the actual loss, but because of the falling out of their team internally.

 

Tooru | at -- : -- am

:smirk_cat:
That’s because I ain’t in it. :v:

Kodzuken | at -- : -- am

Can I kick him out?

 

Iwajime | at -- : -- am

@Kodzuken please, do.

 

Tooru | at -- : -- am

I wanna say I’m surprised but at this point I’m not :(

Join me in the music channel and let’s listen to Bad Blood by Taylor Swift.

 

“Just kick him out.” Atsumu smirked, clearly enjoying that it’s not him being bullied.

“Want me to kick you out of the dorm too?” Meian smiled.

“Shh, Captain. I’m watching Shouyo-kun’s dilemma.”

Shouyo gasped in betrayal and threw a pillow at him that made most of them snicker.  

Shouyo clenched his fist dramatically.

“I can endure anything, for a little while!” he cheerfully exclaimed, the gloomy atmosphere disappearing. “No matter how obnoxious you are. I’ll do my best to keep from seeing you!”

Tobio’s eye twitched as he watched the short tangerine insult him again. Kourai was laughing beside him while Ushijima was nodding to himself as if agreeing with Shouyo.

“That’s my line, you idiot!”

“Um…” Kiyoko arrived. 

“Kiyokoooo!!” Tanaka shouted as if his wife wasn’t beside him.

“Can you let me through?”

The two first years just straightened up and gave way. They looked awestruck as Kiyoko entered the gym, Tanaka greeting her gleefully.

“Kiyoko-san, good to see you. I’ll get that for you.” Tanaka offered.

“Never mind. I’ll hold it myself.”

 

Kita_shinsuke | at -- : -- am

 

“Kiyoko-san, you’re beautiful as ever today!” Tanaka complimented but Kiyoko just ignored him, but the former just hugged himself in joy. “It turns me on when she ignores me!”

The former Karasuno Third-year trio sighed rather fondly while Kiyoko giggled beside her husband.

 

Sunarin | at -- : -- am

are we just gonna ignore Kita-san sending an F in the chat?! @thesettermiya @thebettermiya @Ojiroaran????

 

Kita_shinsuke | at -- : -- am

What?

Oh.

That is not me. I went to the restroom and I think Osamu sent that. He’s avoiding looking at me.

 

thesettermiya | at -- : -- am

@thebettermiya LOOK AT HIM YOU COWARD

 

Sugawara slid the door closed with a funny expression on his face, before Shouyo blew a fuse.

“What was that creepy face, Suga?” Asahi laughed.

“That’s just my face.” Suga pouted while the others continued snickering.

It was already dark when the club practice ended, the members were shown getting ready to go home.

“They’ll probably say, ‘Let us in if we can beat you in a match!’” Tanaka guessed.

“That’s possible.” Suga agreed. “But all they have to do is show just a little contrition, that’s all.”

“Captain!” the two first years’ voices called from outside. Let us challenge you to a match!” they said in sync, causing Tanaka into another burst of laughter.

“The timing!” Inunaki snorted.

The others also burst into laughter. 

“The two of us against you, senpais.” Shouyo added.

“Are these guys for real?” Tanaka asked in between laughter.

“One, two… We’ll prove that we can cooperate as a team!” they said in sync again.

 

Tsukikei | at -- : -- am

I have no words.

 

kageyamatobio | at -- : -- am

looks like you have

NoyaTheVoyager | at -- : -- am

OOOOOOHHHH SHIIIIIIIT

Daichi nodded in approval when Kei did not continue whatever he was gonna send.

‘Is this the power of Karasuno captains?’ Aran chuckled, side-eyeing his own old captain while Osamu ran back to them from the kitchen. “What did I miss?”

Kuroo almost fell from his chair in laughter as his sister raised an eyebrow at him when she passed by him. “They even counted together!” he exclaimed the same time Suga’s on-screen self mentioned the same.

“But I can’t say I dislike these guys.” Tanaka said, still holding his stomach from too much laughter.

“And what if you lose?” Daichi asked with his arms crossed.

“We’ll endure any penalty.” Tobio said.

“Hmm…”

Two other club application forms are shown on screen.

“Oooh, is this where you appear?!” Koganegawa excitedly asked Kei.

“I don’t think we’ll appear in this episode.”

“Then, now’s the time.” Daichi said. “There are two other first-year applicants besides you guys.”

“It’ll be a three-on-three match against them.” Shouyo began pointing at himself and seemed to be in wonder. “We always play this game every year, just to see what the new members are made of.”

“But how does it become three-on-three?” Shouyo asked. “Who’s our other team member?”

“Tanaka, I want you to be on Hinata’s side.”

“What? Me?”

“You don’t dislike them, right?”

“That doesn’t mean I want to play with them.” Tanaka said.

“Why wouldn’t you?! Shouyo’s an awesome teammate!” Bokuto exclaimed, clearly forgetting that this was the old Shouyo. Shouyo took the compliment with pride though.

Shouyo and Tobio looked astonished at the second year’s comment.

“I see. I thought you’d be the only one here who could discipline these troublemakers.”

Tanaka seemed to perk up from Daichi’s words. His reluctance now turned into energy. “Oh well! I guess it can’t be helped.” He loudly proclaimed with his hands on his waist. “I’ll do it!”

“That was too easy.” Daichi grinned while Tanaka pouted with arms crossed. Daichi patted him on the shoulder. “Don’t worry, Ryuu. It was true anyway.”

He jumped down the stairs closer to Shouyo.

“Aren’t you glad?” he energetically patted  Shouyo on the shoulder.

“And if you lose the match, as long as we third-years are here…” Daichi continued, “Kageyama will never play setter.”

Tobio’s eyes widened.

“What?!” Atsumu screeched as if he was the one Daichi was talking to. He realized this and cleared his throat.

“That’s all?” Shouyo asked.

Atsumu gasped with a look of utter betrayal. The others were just watching him with various states of amusement.

Tobio on the other hand, was just huffing in remembrance of how furious he was at that time.

“That’s because our team can’t win with a self-centered setter. A guy who banks on his skills, but loses.”

Atsumu reminded himself that it wasn’t him who was receiving this ultimatum. He would have done the same if he was captain, minus the fact that he’s the starting setter of his high school team.

Tobio looked angry.

“What’s the matter? I’m not ejecting you from the club.” 

A close up of Tobio’s eye is shown.

“You’d be good in other positions, too, wouldn’t you?”

“I’m a setter!” Tobio refuted.

Atsumu nodded, forgetting again that he wasn’t the one on the screen.

“Then win.” Daichi simply said. “You’re here because you think you can win by yourself, right?”

Shouyo looked offended and raised his hand. “I… I’m here too!”

“Yeah!! Go Shouyo!!” Bokuto cheered.

“The game will be Saturday morning.”

“I’m here too!” Shouyo repeated while hopping on his feet and pointing at himself.

“I see you! Let’s goooo!” Bokuto cheered again. Kenma sighed from beside him.

“Listen up! Tanaka-senpai’s gonna teach you a lesson.” Tanaka proudly pointed at himself but was pulled back inside as Sugawara closed the door once again.

“Aww, you should have let me have my moment there.” Tanaka whined.

“Are we being a little too hard on those guys?” Sugawara sighed.

“That’s true. You’re stricker than usual, Daichi-san.”

“Do you have some special reason in mind?” Suga asked while Daichi’s back faced them.

“Dammit!” Tobio stomped his foot on the ground.

“What?! What was on Daichi’s mind?!” Bokuto demanded. “Why is there so much suspense!”

“What? Are you mad because you’re gonna eat the penalty?” Shouyo asked. “But even if you’re not a setter, I’m sure you’d do fine as a regular.”

“Shouyo-kun--” Atsumu started but was cut by Shouyo. “I knoooow. I’m sorry!” he said, bracing himself from the coming comments he was gonna make about setters.

Tobio had his back from Shouyo but it was obvious how he was irked from the boy’s statement.

“And spikers are cooler than setters anyway.” Shouyo said happily. “Wham, like that!” He said, 

“You wound me, Shouyo-kun.” Atsumu dramatically held his chest, although he seemed to actually enjoy the drama.

Tobio grabbed Shouyo’s shirt.

“Oh shit. We didn’t see that.” Suga said.

“Language.” Asahi absentmindedly said while Daichi sighed and shook his head while Kageyama furiously and passionately explained why being the setter is the coolest, leaving a confused Shouyo.

“He’s not wrong but get your hands off Shouyo-kun!” Atsumu shouted, throwing popcorn at the screen.

“Miya! Don’t litter!” Meian scolded, slapping Atsumu’s hand lightly.

“Man, that is some speech you got there!” Kourai nodded approvingly as if Tobio didn’t just shout at someone’s face.

Tobio finally let go of Shouyo’s shirt but continued to tell Shouyo how cool a setter is. His expressions showed how much he really loved to toss and be a setter.

The setters watching had their own reminiscent smiles. Though not all of them were the same level of passion as Tobio, they did have their best moments as the setter of their own team.

Tobio gritted his teeth in anger as Daichi’s voice echoed in his head that he won’t be able to play setter.

“All you have to do is win. You were full of confidence taking on the senpais, weren’t you?”

Shouyo’s sudden statement made everyone either laugh, chuckle or grin. It was such a Shouyo thing to say.

‘That’s right. I can’t get anxious. I can’t rely on this guy, but I can send tosses to that second-year guy.’ Tobio thought then looked at Shouyo. “Hey. We better do something about that sorry receive of yours by Saturday.”

“You did have shitty receives back then, Shouyo.” Bokuto laughed.

“Both him and Lev did.” Kenma said and then stopped in thought. “I should have invited Lev.”

Shouyo was pouting but perked up at Kenma’s words. “Yeah! I’m gonna message him now and send the link!”

“Sorry? Well, but we can’t use the gym.” Shouyo said but Tanaka appeared through the window from inside the gym. “Ahem! Oh, yes. Morning practice is at 7:00 AM tomorrow, right?” He not-so-subtly shouted.

“That was so obvious!” Tanaka laughed at his younger self along with everyone with him.

“You had a cool senpai.” Adriah smiled with broken Japanese.

“Yeah!! Tanaka-senpai is the best!”

 

ninjashouyo | at -- : -- am

@Tanakasenpai!!! Tomas-san thinks you’re cool!!!

 

Tanakasenpai | at -- : -- am

:eyes:

Ohhhh

THE Adriah Tomas?!

 

NoyaTheVoyager | at -- : -- am

Tanakasenpai | at -- : -- am

YUUUUUU!!!

 

NoyaTheVoyager | at -- : -- am

RYYUUUUU!!

 

Daichi | at -- : -- am

Alright alright. you love each other so much.

Now, let’s watch the show.

 

“Ah, um, well… Was the vice principal’s wig okay?”

“Hey, stop talking about that!”

Everyone laughed at the mention of the wig incident. It was the funniest one yet and none of them doubt it’s gonna be forgotten that easily.

Tanaka especially, was laughing hard again.

The two first years told each other not to be late as they started to walk away from the gymnasium. They soon started racing each other with Shouyo ending up shouting about forgetting his bag.

Shouyo rubbed his head in embarrassment.

The former Karasuno team members all watched fondly, remembering that there wasn’t a day that the two didn’t race each other (except maybe, during the summer camp in Tokyo).

The scene changed into the morning.

“Oh, I thought the episode would end there.” Meian said.

Shouyo and Tobio seemed to arrive early and were already bickering after finding out that the door was still locked. Thankfully, a sleepy Tanaka arrived, yawning.

Shouyo excitedly called to him.

Tanaka pulled something out of his pocket and showed the keys to the gym with a smirk. “Get out here before 7:00 am.”

“So did you really didn’t know that we’re gonna sneak into the gym?” Tanaka asked Daichi.

“Well, I didn’t at first. But I wouldn’t have kicked them out anyway.” Daichi grinned.

“Daichi-san, you’re evil.” Tanaka laughed.

The two first years thanked Tanaka and the older used the chance to make them call him senpai.

“You’re such a dork.” Kiyoko laughed.

“I smell tea in the chat.” Ushijima said with a straight face which made Tobio and Kourai look at him with mouths hanging open.

“Who on earth taught you that one?” Kourai asked and then waved it off. “Of course it’s Tendou-san.”

“No. It’s actually Sakusa Kiyoomi.” Ushijima corrected which made the two even astounded.

Tanaka finally opened the gym and the three of them entered. Shouyo excitedly jumped around in happiness. Tanaka watched the two first years as he recalled what Daichi had said to him and Suga last night. Suga asked if Daichi had a special reason on being hard on the two first years.

“You guys saw their match last year. Kageyama had outstanding ability as a junior-high student, but his ability hasn’t yielded any results.” Daichi started, the screen playing a flashback of Tobio scolding his teammates. “Plus, he’s self-centered, which means he’ll repeat the same mistakes as in junior high. He’ll get in the way of the team for sure.”

Tobio pouted, getting annoyed that his junior high self always gets mentioned. However, he knew how important that past of his was to whatever he was in the present. He learned so much and was only glad that he did.

Daichi was shown again, “But what’s different from junior high is that Hinata is on the same team now with Kageyama.” A brief still shot of Shouyo is shown before Tanaka appears tilting his upper body in skepticism.

“Hinata? Well, he’s sort of a ball of athletic reflexes, but…”

Daichi continued to explain the potential of Shouyo and Tobio as a pair could mean while the screen showed Shouyo and Tobio in their future Karasuno uniforms.

“I miss our Karasuno uniforms.” Shouyo sighed dreamily.

“If we can utilize that combination, Karasuno will evolve explosively!” The scene changed into a vision of crows behind Daichi with Suga and Tanaka being blown away. “Don’t you think so?”

All of them felt goosebumps watching the scene.

“I love these visions.” Suga said in awe. “It’s so accurate. It just makes me curious how in the world Shouyo gets his hands on this.”

“Daichi didn’t know how right he was!!” Bokuto said cheerfully. “The two of you are a menace.”

The former captains including Meian listened thoughtfully to Daichi’s words, wondering if they would have done the same as the Karasuno captain. Ushijima knew that he definitely wouldn’t have back then. 

Oikawa was sure he would have let them join his team, knowing full well the potential Tobio holds (not that he’s gonna say that to his face). He’d be skeptical with Shouyo but the shrimpy was hardworking enough that Oikawa knew he’d get in anyway. 

Kita didn’t know much about Shouyo, but he had a feeling that he would have loved the small boy as a kouhai and Tobio would have been a great addition to their team, if not for the definite clash with their own setter. 

Kuroo already knew from back then that he’ll take the two of them anytime, but couldn’t see Karasuno in any other way without the freak duo on their side.

Tanaka’s thoughts were cut from Shouyo and Tobio fighting again, which caused him to make a discouraged expression.

All the captains who were just thinking about how they were going to handle the duo shared the same sentiment as the second-year on screen.

Tanaka tried to stop the two immediately but it was not working because the two were busy throwing hands at each other. Tanaka made a funny face again, making him look like he swallowed a lemon.

“Why do I have the worst facial expressions?” Tanaka cried.

“I don’t think they’re the worst. Just amusing and funny.” Kiyoko giggled.

The lights opened and Shouyo expressed his excitement in being in the gym again.

“Wow! The gymnasium.” Shouyo cheerfully exclaimed in the middle of the gym.

“You were here yesterday.” Tanaka noted but Shouyo ignored him deep in thought.

‘The Little Giant practiced here, too!’ Shouyo smiled and shouted. “All right. Let’s do this!!”

Ending plays…

“Oh man! That’s quite an episode.” Bokuto said. “I’m excited for your three vs. three against Tsukki!”

“Yeah!! That was so fun!” Shouyo said, matching Bokuto’s energy.

“It’s gonna be hard if yer just starting to practice receiving, Shouyo-kun.” Atsumu said. “But yer gonna win this, aren’t ya?”

Shouyo just grinned sheepishly.

“You and Kageyama-kun were so troublesome back then, Hinata.” Meian chuckled.

“That’s just the beginning, Meian-san. Kageyama and Shouyo’s got more where that came from.” Kenma said, making Shouyo blush in embarrassment. He should get used to it though. Because the show seemed to be showing every embarrassing stuff he’s gonna do.

“The next episode is called ‘The Formidable Ally’ .” Sakusa said as he read it on the screen. “Do you think it’s about the three on three match?” He turned to Shouyo in question.

“I’m not sure but it could be! I hope it is!”

“Well then, why don’t we proceed to the next episode?”

Kenma informed the others in the chat that they’ll be starting the next one which everyone agreed to.

“All right! Let’s do this!!” Shouyo cheered, mimicking himself in the end.

Next episode begins.
