These are thoughts
Kageyama and Mizuki communicating telepathically

~~~

Mizuki pov.
We receive the serve. Then, Kageyama and Hinata do their freak quick. We get the first point.

Lev almost blocked that though...not good.

We continue playing. We receive the ball again  and it goes to Kageyama.

He sets it to Hinata, to do their freak quick, but Lev jumps infront of Hinata, blocking him.

Noya tries to save it, but doesnt. Nekoma gets the point.

Holy shit, he just blocked it. And it looked like he did it so easily...

Kageyama tells Hinata that he's going to do more regular quick attacks for him.

I see Kenma takking to Lev too.

"Hey Kags, Sho." I go to them. "I think Lev is gonna do more read blocks, since you're going to do more regular quicks. Be careful, and try not to get blocked."

They nod, and we go back in our spots

Nekoma serves, and I receive it. Hinata runs up to the net, as if to spike the ball.

But Kageyama sets it to Asahi, and Lev almost blocks him.

Nekoma spikes it back, and they get a point.

Keishin calls a timeout.

"We're doing well." He says to the team. "They're watching our attacks carefully, so when we play against Nekoma, let's mainly have Azumane and Zuki attacking."

I nod reluctantly.

Aren't we here to train though? To get better? I don't think we'll do that if we stay on the defensive.

The set continues. Nekoma serves it on our side, and I glance at Kageyama.

Just a quick attack.

He slightly nods, and he sets the ball to me.

I run up to it and jump, but I see Hinata coming for the ball at the same time.

I freeze, and he jumps into me. I reach for the ball before I fall, and I dump it to Nekoma's side.

It falls on the ground, and we get a point.

I try to land, but I fall. So does Hinata.

Everyone is quiet. I quickly get up move to help him.

"Sho, are you ok-" I start.

"I'M SO SORRY ZUKI!" He bows and starts apologizing.

"Sho calm down, it's okay!" I help him up. "Don't worry about it. Plus, we got the point too!"

He smiles and nods.

"Watch your surrounding idiot!" Keishin yells at Hinata, pointing at him.

Then, he points at me. "Zuki! I know you can somehow talk to Kageyama telepathically, but no one else can do that! You have to call the ball, dumbass."

I sigh and nod.

I see Hinata talking to Kageyama.

"For our super quick attack." He says. "I'll start opening my eyes."

Again, everyone is quiet.

"I can't keep doing this. I can't keep hitting sets that are just for me." Hinata continues.

"We learned normal quicks because you can't." Kageyama replies harshly. "I dont know what's going on with you right now, but I'll listen to what you say later."

He turns to walk away. "If you're going to do it now, I won't set to someone who I know will miss."

I step up to them without thinking.

"Then I will." I say, putting my hands on my hips.

Then whole team freezes.

Shit why'd I say that.

"I'll set to him. I've played setter before, you know." I continue, still not thinking about what I'm doing.

Hinata looks at me in awe, and Kageyama in shock.

After a few seconds, Daichi puts his hand on my shoulder. "Mizuki, maybe don't provoke him." He whispers to me.

I sigh and nod. "Sorry. I wasn't thinking. I'll go apologize."

I walk over to Kageyama and bow. "Sorry Kags, I shouldn't have said that." I apologize. "I wasn't thinking, I'm really sorry!"

He nods reluctantly. "...it's okay."

He looks at the other side of the court. "I guess we should probably start actually talking? Like calling the ball."

"Ya, I guess so." I say, a little sad.

He nods and goes to his spot. I go to mine.

The set continues, and it ends with Nekoma getting the last point. They win.

We start our diving drills, but I don't pay attention to what I'm doing.

Dammit Mizuki, why'd you have to say that? Jeez you're so stupid. I'll have to apologize to Kageyama again. I've got to watch my mouth-

I stop and realize that I already finished a lap.

I look behind me, and i see the team coming.

"How'd you finish so fast, Zuki?" Hinata asks me once he catches up.

I shrug. Then, the team gathers around Takeda.

"You guys are the weakest team here." Takeda says to us with a smile.

We all sulk.

Can't argue with that.

"If we had an official match with any of these teams," Takeda continues. "They'd be a very powerful opponent, and we'd most likely lose. But should we look at them as just opponents, or teachers that we can learn techniques from?"

"Since your weak, it means that theres room to grow and get better. Theres nothing more exciting than that." He finishes.

We all light up. "Thank you sir!"

The team separates, and I go to one of the doors to outside.

I open it, and I sit on the step.

The wind blows on the side of my face.

That feels better.

I put my elbow on my knee, and rest my chin on my hand.

Kageyama probably hates me. Great.

I sigh.

I'll have to talk to him later. Maybe for now I'll just give him some space? I don't knowwwwww.

I turn and look inside the gym. I see Inuoka and Yamamoto talking.

That reminds me...

I go outside.

"Zuki, we're starting now!" Asahi calls me after a few minutes.

"K, I'm coming!" I jog over to the team.

Our match is against Fukurodani.

"Narita, switch out with Hinata." Keishin says.

"Huh?" He says, surprised. "I mean, yes sir!"

We all turn to watch, everyone surprised.

I guess it would be better...he wouldn't get hurt then. But we're here to practice and train!

I shake my head a little and bite my lip.

Don't talk Mizuki. Stay quiet. He's the coach anyways.

We start our match.

Kageyama starts to set to me more, even though I feel like he doesn't really want to.

We end up loosing the set, and we do our diving drills.

After another set or two, we line up and bow.

"Thank you!" We all say.

Then, we pack our things and head to the bus.

I stay behind and I talk with Nekoma. Then, Lev and Kenma walk with me to the bus.

"Imma scare Tetsu." I say to the two boys, smirking.

I quietly walk up behind Kuroo, and I jump on his back.

"Tetsu!" I yell.

He stumbles forward, but catches me.

"Zuki, you have to stop doing this." Kuroo sighs and says.

"Nope!" I hug his neck and put my face in his hair.

I see his face getting a little red, and I giggle.

"Mizuki, we gotta go now." Daichi tells me, who is standing beside Kuroo.

"Awwwww fine." I whine.

I get down and I hug Kuroo and Kenma.

"I'll see you guys on two weeks!" I say.

"Yup. We'll see you then, Kitten." Kuroo pats my head.

"Bye Zuki." Kenma says quietly.

I let go of them and walk to the bus. "Bye Tetsu, Kozu!"

I take a seat closer to the front, beside the window.

We start moving, and I wave to the team captains outside, Kenma and Lev.

Then, I see Yamamoto, Inuoka and Haruki come outside. They were holding their bags and some other people's.

"MIZUKIIIII!" Yamamoto yells, mad.

I start laughing.

"What did you do?" Keishin asks me.

I look at him innocently. "Whatever do you mean?"

"Zuki."

I smirk. "Yesterday, they pranked me and Kaashi. So I put some dirt in their bags."

"Just dirt?"

"Maybe, maybe not."

He sighs. "Why the hell would you do that?"

"I told you."

Keishin mumbles something, but I don't hear him.

On the way back to Miyagi, most of the team falls asleep.

I try to sleep, but I can't. Instead I just look outside the window, bored.

"The training camp was great." I hear Takeda say, who was driving. I start eavesdropping.  "I think we found a lot of things to improve."

"We'll have to take them on slowly." Keishin says.

"Right. We can think about them more when we get back."

"Speaking of home..." Keishin mumbles.

"Everything alright, Ukai?"

"An annoying relative is coming home."

Someone's coming? Who? Why didn't he tell meeeeee

I take a piece of paper. I write "who's coming? Why didn't you tell me?", since I didn't want to wake anyone up.

I crumble it up into a ball and I chuck it at Keishin.

The paper ball hits him, and he immediately turns around.

I smile and wave, and he glares at me.

I mouth to him to read the paper.

He picks it up, uncrumples it and reads it.

Keishin sighs and writes something on it. Then, he crumbles it up again, and chucks it at me.

I catch it and open the paper.

'Gramps is back.'

I beam, and smile. I quietly cheer to myself.

Gramps is back! Jeez I haven't visited him yet...

I see him watching me from the mirror. He rolls his eyes and smiles.

I turn and continue to look outside.

Then, after that I finally fall asleep.
