@lastrain: “ kageyama tobio — !! “ there’s an incredible emphasis on volume that sits on her tongue as she yells out the boy’s name. with a finger, she points him out where he stands ; and when he recognizes her, she lifts it up into the air, a bright, burning smile upon her features. “ i’m saying it, for the whole world to hear ! your secret - the truth — you are an absolute sweetheart to be around !! “ // TIME TO LET HIS SECRET OUT FOR THE WORLD TO KNOOOOW,
A flinch and a disturbed expression is all he initially responds with, considering that calling Tobio by his full name is generally seen as a red flag. Another jolt of his shoulders is prompted by her accusing finger, and the setter sincerely couldn’t be more confused. He doesn’t remember doing anything that could’ve possibly gotten him into trouble, much less with Kumiko. It’s only when she finishes her sentence that he ( after a solid moment frozen in time to make proper sense of her words ) turns into an utter blushing mess from head to toe. This is ridiculous. It’s a compliment, an unexpected one at that, and this he can appreciate. But this exaggerated mannerism, this screaming ━ is all too much for a mainly reserved guy like Tobio to take.
His words come out in a stammer, though as harsh sounding as ever. “ W-What... are you even talking about, Kawakami-san?! ”
