The gym air was thick with the smell of polished wood and stale sweat. Slants of afternoon sun cut through the high windows, catching the slow swirl of dust above the Aoba Johsai players. In the steady thump of volleyballs, a single, sharp *smack* rang out. Kageyama staggered, his hand flying up to his forehead, eyes narrowing into blades of pure fury.

He closed the distance between them, the team’s noise fading into a distant hum, his gaze fixed on the seething setter with a twisted, undeniable fondness.
