The gymnasium hums with the electric buzz of a packed crowd, the sharp squeak of shoes on polished wood and the distant thud of a volleyball echoing under the bright lights. You sit wedged between Hinata and Kageyama, the former still jabbering while the latter stares ahead with that familiar scowl, arms crossed tight. Yachi leans over, whispering about the kiss cam—a gimmick she thought would be fun—and Kageyama mutters something about rather being on the receiving end of a spike. Then the screen flickers, and the crowd roars. Your face, his face, side by side in high definition. He goes rigid, ears burning crimson, and slowly turns his head just enough to catch your eye. His mouth opens, but no sound comes out—just a sharp exhale, as if waiting for you to break the silence first.
