we are the spark

[txt to: yuuji] Put her phone into rice. Apparently it will soak up some of the water… Hopefully nothing bad happens.

[txt to: yuuji] I don’t know what to do about the notes, except maybe rewrite them…

[txt to: kenma] that works???? I’ll try it out but idk it feels like that won’t work????

“You shouldn’t shirk your responsibilities like that! A-And I can carry them Terushima-kun, I’m really strong from carrying mulch and stuff around so….” She blushed as she held onto her school bag tightly. Maybe she shouldn’t mention that, what if Terushima felt weird about hanging around a girl that strong. It’s not like she had hulking muscles, but still. She brushed her bangs out of her face and took a step towards where the shop was.

“But thank you for the offer, it’s very kind of you.”

“We could just finish it normally.” He puts a new stick in his mouth and eats it as one normally would. “I don’t want to have my first kiss with this game anyway…” That’s a weird way to have your first kiss, and it’s kind of dumb…

“Besides, if you get more red I think you’ll get a headache…” Kenma offers Terushima a pocky stick. Either he’ll get a headache or his head will explode…

[txt to: kenma] I think Hana-chan’s going to kill me tomorrow…….

[txt to: yuuji] What did you do?

[txt to: kenma] uh

[txt to: kenma] I might have accidentally spilled water into her bag

“I do! I’ll send the links to you so you can watch them in your own time.” Bokuto confirmed. The news of Karasuno’s victory had remained quite a hot topic amongst the volleyball teams. He’d already been sent some clips here and there from various different sources, and it wouldn’t hurt to share them with someone who was as passionate about volleyball as he was. Said ace puffs up with pride upon being recognised, a bright grin taking on the forefront of his features. “Sure am!” Positively pleased at the rush of affirmation that practically radiates out of Terushima, the ace chortles. “Aw dude, aren’t you sweet! I’m gonna be top three some day, just you wait! I’ll keep trying for it! Ooh pictures are fun though- can we get one together?” A contemplative hum escapes him. “I’m pretty sure coach will give it some thought so I’ll try to ask! We need more people to practise and play with after all. It’ll be real cool if we could! Tell Hana-chan hi for me! Is she your manager? Girlfriend?”

“Thanks, man! And I’d love ta!” Terushima exclaimed with an excited look on his face, referring to both the videos and the photos. Sidling up a little closer to the other captain, he then sent him a grin.. “Hana-chan’s the manager; I mean, I’d totally be down for it if she wants ta, but she’s totally out of my league and she lets all of us know it every practice!” He added with a fond laugh. Hana-chan was probably the only thing that could keep the Jouzenji boys in line, and she knew it. “I’ll talk to my coach too, see if he’s okay with it. It should be fine on our part. S’not like Tokyo’s that far from Sendai--it’d be harder for people outside of Sendai ta get there I think, since they aren’t directly connected or anything.”

Kenma breaks off his segment of the pocky stick after his next bite, eating it while he watches Terushima. “Are you sure you want to play this game, Terushima…? Your face is really red… And you look uncomfortable…”

"... I’M GOOD.” He blurted out, his face turning even more red and uncomfortable at Kenma’s scrutiny.

(NO HE WASN’T.)

(Terushima was DYING inside and ohgoshheckinghell Terushima was pretty sure that he could see every single one of Kenma’s eyelashes at this point and that was kinda distracting now that he thought about it because he wasn’t so sure that guys were supposed to have eyelashes that curled like that but then again it might just be a Kenma-thing, right?)

“It was just three ducklings, but they looked so fluffy.”

But Ume had to think on where on earth such cute creatures could be living. Maybe there were a couple of parks nearby that they could be living at. And Umeko hadn’t been to a park in forever.

“Maybe a park? I’m not exactly sure myself, but we must hurry to the flower shop soon Terushima-kun.”

“Man, I wish I could’a seen that. Maybe I should skip practice and hang out with ya to see if I can see them around,” he added with a cheerful grin. (He was seriously contemplating it, even if it might mean that Hana-chan would hunt him down and drag him back to the gym for not being ‘responsible’ like the captain that he was supposed to be.)

          She was inclined to agree. Perhaps something she wished for more than anything was being able to compete against both male and female volleyball clubs in the Tokyo area…and he had a point. There was no way to anticipate the possibilities of playstyle to be encountered if it had never before been seen.

          Perhaps that was something else she enjoyed about martial arts: the fact that, at least until higher levels of competiton, the line drawn between the sex of the participants was nonexistent, and they were not disallowed from practice against one another based on that fact alone.

          His further words drew quiet in her mind, lips parting briefly as her jaw slacked before her composure regained its form hopefully (and probably) before he was able to notice the small shudder which passed through her body.

          [ It had been a flinch, muscles seizing with such a question. ]

          ( …shit… ) Strange how what he said had struck her…perhaps it did so because she knew it to be an accurate statement. Yet it had never been pointed out in such a way.

          “I think you’re a bit on the distractible side, sure…” she glanced over her shoulder to look at him at least partially, “…and I was surprised that you tried flirting so quickly after meeting me.” She had indeed come to label it as such. “But you don’t make me uncomfortable…if anything, unsure of what to do with the attention.” Blinking, her gaze returned forward whilst her left hand raised by her side in a half-shrug. He would not need to see meet her eyes for what came next.

          “I suppose I’m not. I’ve always been rather serious, and that’s all there is to it. If you make me laugh I assume you’ll see a smile for at least a short time, but otherwise…not usually.”

Did she think that it was a bit much that he’d flirt straight off the bat? Well, he couldn’t change that or anything. Terushima liked to tell people immediately that he thought they looked nice. It wasn’t as if there could be a shortage of compliments in the world, right?

‘they’re like a team of Bokutos.’

Konoha’s words echoed through Akaashi’s head, including the third years laugh after seeing his kouhai’s somewhat bewildered expression (or as bewildered as Akaashi ever looked with somewhat widened eyes and lips pressed slightly thin).

now that he could witness them for himself, Akaashi could somewhat understand the resemblance his senpai meant, but at the same time, he disagreed somewhat. ‘they’re more like a team of Hinatas.’ he mused. perhaps it was the bright colour of even their training gear that leant itself to their blindingly bright dispositions, that reminded him so vividly of the Karasuno decoy with the orange hair.

lost for a few moments in thought, the usually collected setter was brought out of his introversion when he realized one of the opposing team members had caught him staring. blinking, Akaashi gave a curt nod of his head in acknowledgement of their captain and, if his information was correct, a follower second year.

“hello.”

"Hey there!” Terushima exclaimed, a complete juxtaposition to Akaashi’s calm veneer. Terushima was bright, excitable, and obvious with his emotions as he bounded up towards Akaashi. He stuck a hand up in greeting (though he quickly realised there wasn’t much point in waving), then brandished a finger and pointing it at himself.

“That’s okay with me. I’m not uncomfortable with it, so you can say you love me if you want… But… I don’t know my feelings well, so if that bothers you I’m sorry…” Kenma feels like he’s doing social hurdles… “But I know I like to spend time with you, and I know I like when you’re around me… So that’s something, I think.”
