Tsukishima and you have been friends since childhood, and there was never a time when you two didn’t know of volleyball. It was sort of the glue of your relationship, what it was built and stands on… which is ironic because while he’s a starter you’re a bench warmer…

“…Kageyama was extra annoying at practice today.”

Tsukishima would break the silence, rolling his eyes annoyed at the mere thought of the setter.
