These are thoughts

~~~

Mizuki pov.
We get some water to drink and gather around Keishin.

"We'll be using our current lineup for the next set." He says.

"Yes sir!" We all respond.

"The biggest obstacle is Oikawa's serve, so we're changing things to make our defense better."

"We're switching the formation to receive the serve. Our most outstanding receivers, Daichi and Noya, you are going to be in the back to receive Oikawa's serve."

He explains to us where we will go. Then, we take a break a bit.

"Hey Zuki." Keishin calls me.

"What's up?" I walk over to him.

"Don't think I didn't see what happened. You okay?"

I wave him off. "Ya, I told you that I was fine! Don't worry about it."

He sighs. Then, he smirks. "So then, what happened to your receives? I thought you were better."

I kick him in the side. "Shut up! My receives are fine, thank you very much!"

"OW!"

Kiyoko taps me on the shoulder behind me and points to the ref, who was looking at my direction.

Whoops.

I bow and apologize to him. He nods, and does whatever he's doing.

"Maybe don't do that, Zuki?" Kiyoko asks me.

"Hehe, sorry Kiko! I won't do it again."

She nods and takes my water bottle.

Then, we go on court.

Hinata is in the serving spot, I'm on his left and Suga is beside me. Keikei is infront of Suga, with Asahi and Daichi beside him. Seijoh is in the same rotation as the first set.

Seijoh gets the ball, and serves. The second set starts.

Our team does some regular quick attacks. I also do some, and some high attacks too.

Then, it's Oikawa's serve. We get into the formation.

"One serve and he's done!" Daichi yells.

"Yes sir!"

Oikawa serves.

"Daichi!" I call to him, and he receives the serve. The ball goes in the air.

"Nice receive!"

I run up to the net. Suga sets it to me, and I spike it past Seijoh's block.

"ALRIGHT!" The whole team cheers.

I highfive the team.

We stopped Oikawa at one serve! Yes!

We get back to our spots after.

Tsukishima gets the ball and serves.

We keep playing. Our team keeps up with Seijoh.

14-13, Karasuno

Then, we go in a full rotation. Oikawa gets the ball to serve again.

He serves, and Noya receives it.

Suga sets the ball to me, and I jump to get it.

I spike it, but this time they block me. They get a point.

Dammit!

I land, but my foot lands a bit wrong.

Ow, shit!

Suga sees, and rushes to me.

"Are you okay, Zuki?"

I smile and give him a thumbs up. "I'm good. Don't worry!"

He nods and goes back to his spot.

Oikawa serves again, and Noya receives it.

It goes to Suga, and he sets it to Hinata. But Kindaichi blocks him.

I hear Keishin call Kageyama to the bench.

He's gonna switch setters.

Oikawa serves for the third time, and Daichi receives it. Suga sets it to Asahi. He spikes right through Seijoh's block, and we get a point.

"Nice kill!"

Then, the ref blows the whistle, and Kageyama had Suga's number to switch.

I watch as Suga goes to Keishin, and Kageyama comes on.

He walks to us, and glares. Then, he smiles. Or attempts to.

We all look at him, surprised. Hinata runs back.

"What are you up to?" He screams. "I won't let you!"

"Hinata, calm down" I call to him. "I think he's trying to smile!"

"Mizuki, I think that's kinda rude..." Asahi whispers to me.

I smile, and I go to Kageyama.

"Hey Kags, we're doing our attacks?" I ask him. He nods.

I go to my spot, and Kageyama serves. No one gets it.

Service ace!

I pit my hands up to Kageyama.

"Nice serve!" I smile and say.

He looks at me, confused. Then, he highfives me.

"Yeah!" I yell.

Kageyama serves again. Iwaizumi receives it. Watari runs back to cover, who hits it and Makki gets the ball over.

Noya bumps the ball into the air. I glance at Kageyama, and he understands me.

I run up to the net, and he sets it to me for a quick attack. I spike it over, and we get a point.

"Nice job." Kageyama says to me.

Was that a compliment...?

I smile. "You too!"

18-17, Karasuno

We continue to play. We keep the lead as we play.

20-19, Karasuno

Then, Tsukishima rotates on. Him and Kageyama glare at each other.

I sweatdrop.

This is literally like Kageyama vs. Tsukishima

Hinata serves the ball. It just goes over the net, and Mattsun dives to receive it.

The ball goes back on our side, and Daichi hits it into the air. Kageyama sets it to Asahi. He spikes it, and the ball bounces from the locker's hand to out. We get a point.

Then, Seijoh calls a timeout.

I sit on the bench, and I drink some water and rest.

In a few minutes we go back on the court.

We keep playing.

I watch as Kageyama sets to Tsukishima.

He obviously doesn't like the sets. They have to talk.

Seijoh gets a point, and they're tied with us.

Takeda calls a timeout.

We go to the bench.

"C'mon everyone!" Keishin says to us. "You all look to tense."

He chops me head. "Relax!"

"OWWWW!" I yell.

I sigh, and I walk to Kageyama.

I take his hand, and I walk to Tsukishima.

"H-hey!" Kageyama blushes and follows me.

I tap Tsukishima's shoulder, and I let go of Kageyama. Tsukishima turns around and looks at me.

"Yes?" He asks me.

I get out of their way, and I look at Kageyama.

"Talk." I say.

"H-how was the last set for you?" He asks.

Tsukishima looks surprised. Then he frowns.

"It pisses me off." He says. "It's like being ordered to just hit it."

Dammit Keikei, why

I sigh, and I walk to Suga and I bring him with me back to their conversation.

"What do you mean?" Kageyama asks.

"I want sets to be consistent." He says.

I sigh and I go to Keishin. I sit beside him and I stretch my ankle a bit.

"What's going on?" Takeda asks.

"I think Tsukishima signals where the ball should go for his quick attack sets." I explain. "A set near the setter is a cross-court, and a set away form the setter is a turn-swing."

"Exactly." Keishin says. He points at my ankle.

"Is it okay?" He asks me.

"Ya, ya, I'll be fine." I wave it off.

"I'm going to take you off it it gets worse, Zuki."

"I'm fine! Don't worry, Keishi-nii!"

Then, we go back on the court.

Seijoh serves, and Noya receives the ball. It goes to Kageyama who sets it to Tsukishima.

He does a diversion, and we get a point.

"Nice one, Keikei!" I cheer.

We keep playing. Tsukishima does more diversions, and finally, he spikes it. Seijoh falls for it and doesn't get the ball.

Kageyama tries to compliment Tsukishima.

"Ni...ni..nice."

I jump from behind them and I put one of my arms on both of them.

"That was awsome, you guys!"

Tsukishima smirks. "That's how you compliment people, by the way."

"Hey! Shut up Keikei! He's trying!"

He scoffs and walks to his spot.

I give Kageyama a thumbs up and I go to my spot. I look at the score.

24-22, Karasuno

Were at set point! But now, its Oikawa's serve.

Oikawa serves thr ball and Nishinoya saves it. But it goes right back to Seijoh's side.

Watari hits the ball up, and it goes to Oikawa.

Kindaichi jumps up to spike.

No I don't think he's gonna. He'd probably try to stop us here, so...

I run as fast as I can around Kageyama and Tsukishima, and to Iwaizumi.

I jump to block, and Kageyama and Tsukishima jump as well.

Iwaizumi spikes it, and it hits my hand, then Tsukishima's, and it hits Seijoh's side of the court. We get a point.

I land, but Kageyama crashes into me, since he jumped from the side.

I almost fall, but I stay standing. But my ankle lands wrong again.

"Sorry, Zuki." He apologizes.

"It's okay!" I smile.

I walk to the others, and we celebrate a little.

I get a water bottle, and I relax a bit.

Owwwww, stupid ankle.

I see everyone looking at Seijoh.

"Now!" Oikawa yells. "I want to play the last set now!"
