"Kunimi!!"

The first year stopped in his steps and turned around expressionless.

"Missed me?" You trotted up to him childishly and smiled brightly. He raised his eyebrow in response and continued to walk to the gym as you trailed beside him.

You didn't expect him to respond. You knew he wouldn't. It would be absolutely impossible to even become close to him if it weren't for the fact that you've known each other ever since you were little fetuses.

"I heard you guys are having a practice match with Karasuno today, I wonder if they've improved," You stated to break the awkward  silence only for it to return again.

You sighed in defeat but was startled to recognize a familiar voice that boomed inside the gym. Leaving Kunimi behind, you rushed towards the gym and peeked your head through the door.

"Kageyama...?" you blinked in surprise to see your former classmate from junior high, "Kunimi! Look!"

Opening the gyms doors completely Kunimi scoffed quietly, "whatever."

"Come on, you could at least greet him?"

He simply walking past you unamused. Shaking your head you followed from behind. Even though Kageyama wasn't the greatest team player, it doesn't destroy the fact that he was still a friend.

"...(F/n)?"

Turning your heel you were surprised to lock eyes with the raven haired setter. After a long second you blinked and smiled sweetly.

"Hey!" You skipped towards him.

His face was filled with guilt and he struggled to socialize.

"How've you been?" You tilted your head childishly.

"A-ah! It's alright, I guess," he avoided eye contact, "are you.. their manager?"

"Nope, I just like to watch."

"About junior high, I jus–"

"Don't apologize to me you idiot! If you really want to show everyone, then show it on the court, right?"  You held your thumbs up and nodded your head, "I believe in you Kageyama!"

His eyes widened and he bowed quickly, startling you, "thank you!"

After ushering him back to his team you returned to the benches where the rest of aobajohsai was warming up.

"Hey Kunimi? You know, I really think Kageyama changed. In a good way, I mean."

Kunimi simply furrowed his eyebrows and turned his back towards you and continued to fix the laces on the shoes.

'Alrighty then, let us be salty, I guess'

You rolled your eyes and made your way to the bleachers. The practice match was absolutely mesmerizing. However, you felt extremely proud of Kageyama. He was nothing like he used to be.

Karasuno continued to take the lead and you were relieved to spot Oikawa enter the gym. Oikawa managed to rack up points from his dominating serves. In the end, Karasuno managed to win the last point.

You cheered silently to yourself and you quickly trotted down the bleachers.

"You did well out there!" You patted Kunimi's back.

"Oh, yeah," he turned away and packed up his bag.

"Uh, well I'm going to go to the bathroom really quickly. I'll be right back."

"(F/n)!"

"Oh! Kageyama!" Your eyes lit up as you quickly approached him, "you did so well out there!"

"Thank you," He smiled a bit.

"I know the rest of the guys aren't so forgiving, but it's quite evident that you've changed. Just keep working hard cause all of you guys are a team!"

"Yeah, you're right."

You squeaked as you felt a firm grip on your arm.

"What are you doing?" His voice was stern and clearly annoyed.

"Kunimi?" You we're suddenly tugged back, "h-hey! what are you–"

"We're leaving."

"Okay okay! Stop pulling me! Just let me say bye!" You attempted to loosen his grip but he refused to let go.

Suddenly stopping in his tracks he turned slightly and glared at Kageyama, "next time, we're not losing."

"Bye Kageyama!" You stated before being pulled out of the gym.

"Kunimi!"

*silence*

"Hey!"

"KUNIMI!!" You got out of his grip and pouted, "what was that for?"

He remained quiet as he continued to walk away from you.

"The silent treatment like always, thanks," you rolled your eyes and planted your self onto the concrete floor.

"What are you doing?"

"Just go home without me."

"No."

"Why not?"

"(F/n)."

"Kunimi."

"You're just going to go back to flirting with the opposing team again."

"Hey! Kageyama is a friend!"

"Didn't look like it," He scoffed quietly.

Before you argued back you smiled wickedly causing your childhood friend confusion.

"Are you jealous?" You smirked standing up again and facing him.

"You're stupid."

"Admit it Kunimi!" You teased.

"Just go back. I don't care," he furrowed his brows and turned his heel.

"Hey! Don't leave me!" You rushed to keep up with him, "alright alright! I take it back!"

The walk was quiet but comfortable as soon as you reached your home you turned towards him, "I'll see you later Kunimi!"

"Akira."

"Huh?"

"Just call me Akira. I call you by (F/n) so you don't have to be so formal," His cheeks were slightly tinted pink as he avoided eye contact.

"Okay," You smiled and waved, "I'll see you later, Akira."
