Decoy

Summary:

I've never been a winner on the court
I learned to play from watching games on the girls' team
But you're gonna need my new support
Take off your crown, it won't impress me

A filk set to Lorde's "Royals" of Hinata asking Kageyama for one more toss.

Notes:

Originally written and recorded in 2017 for the Sports Anime Shipping Olympics! SilentCS, I remember you talking about the way this brought back that episode in season two where they're both trying to grow and learn how to be more skilled together, and Hinata asks Kageyama to give him the toss with his eyes open. I'm so glad this delivered.

Lyrics

I've never been a winner on the court
I learned to play from watching games on the girls' team
But you're gonna need my new support
Take off your crown, it won't impress me

And all you're telling me's:
"Dumbass!
Jump fast!
Can't you get the ball?" and
watch me
trying,
to walk you gotta crawl, but

I'll get there,
I'm spiking tosses in my dreams

And Kageyama, I'm
here and
willing
learning all these new things
morning
evening
flying like I've got wings

We'll get there,
just let go of your princely airs

'Cause we'll never be royals (royals)
we are gonna be crows
my skill set's gonna grow,
so stop looking down your nose

Let me be your decoy (decoy)
And, Kageyama, you'll see
how fast I can run
and jump
and block
and spike
so long as you will toss to me
