And the crows would fly

The conversation had began to drag on a little after Noya had managed to get over his shyness while talking to the transfer students that he hadn’t even noticed the time pass, laughing brightly at a joke the shorter girl made. It was with their sudden silence that he blinked in confusion, starting to turn around as he heard the familiar voice whispering to him. Jumping in surprise with a loud curse - that had the girls blushing a little - Noya finally turned to properly address his captain, “Make you wait? I’m not late yet am I?” Oblivious to time as usual. 

Daichi shook his head and dismissed the notion. “No... not yet anyways. But we’ll lose daylight at this rate.” He turned to the two girls and bowed a little bit, excusing his intrusion. 

     ‘ you get used to it i think! if you did it every day i’m sure you’d make the trip just as quick. ‘

“I’m not so sure... the cold alone would be enough to do me in so early.” He peered around through the vapor of the mist, just barley making out the trees surrounding the uphill. “Though I bet it’s a view if you catch sunrise right?”

      “ That’s too bad. Maybe if you did check the weather, you would be able to walk to the train station without getting soaked. ” Kuroo teased, pushing the umbrella open over himself and stepping into the rain. “ I’d be willing to let you borrow mine if our teams have a secret practice match sometime soon~. ”

“Pft, what exactly does that mean? Like an actual alley match? I can’t imagine actually playing next to a trash heap.” He assumed Kuroo was just teasing him since it sounded like a hollow offer. However a qucik step later, and he invited himself under the umbrella. “Not that we wouldn’t be up for taking you guys on any day.”

He wasn’t kidding about his speed at all. He was almost as fast as Hinata. Yet when he spiked it. It’s like he was using that speed to back up his hit. He smirked. “How was that?”

“It was good! But don’t get too cocky, here comes the next one!” His speed was impressive, Daichi noted winding up for the next one. This one was much faster with a bit of spin to it. “How’s--THIS!”

“It’s no problem, you would have done the same for me. Yeah, I just finished it when I sent you that text. You can borrow it if you want, though I’m not sure how good it is”

“It’s alright. Not that I don’t trust your work, we both know who’s better at math. But I may as well do it since I’m here... I just need the page numbers.” He assured him finally taking a sip of his drink.

“No problem Capt!”,he was so ready he just tied his bandana on tight. He was in serious mode.

Good! This was the sort of enthusiasm he liked to see in players. Daichi waited for him to put on his bandanna, spinning the ball in his hand. When he was all set, he gave him a light toss just to test the waters. “Here I come!”

“It is quite alright. We stay open later on the weekends, or when my father is here, but I’m still in school so I have to get home and do the household things and then my own home work. I apologize for any inconvenience!” Honestly their open-closed hours varied. He hated it, but it was what had to be done.

Daichi peered around the book shelf to see where the voice was coming from, seeing a taller boy organizing books. “No that’s fine! I’m a student myself, so I can understand how hard it is trying to juggle a busy schedule.” And he didn’t even have a job on top of all his responsibilities.
