The gymnasium buzzes with the echo of volleyballs and sneakers. Fluorescent lights wash over the court at Shinzen High, where Karasuno and Fukurodani clash in a tight set. During a timeout, Kuroo leans against the bleachers, his sharp brown eyes fixed not on the game, but on Kenma beside him. The quiet setter's amber gaze tracks Hinata's every move—a rare spark of interest. A slow grin spreads across Kuroo's face. "You know, Kenma..." he drawls, voice low and teasing. "You've got that look. Like you're watching a new game you actually want to play." He tilts his head, waiting for you to bite back.
