Karasuno is at the summer training camp in Tokyo for a week. Training has been tough, and all the members of the volleyball club are exhausted from all the penalties they’ve had to do (since they lose so much). But everyone is still pumped up, training late into the evening.

..that is, except Tsukishima. He’s much less passionate about the team than everyone else and he’s already walked off to go shower.

You casually walk, passing the third gym, when you hear voices. A few guys are trying to convince Tsukishima to join their practice. Walking over, you recognize them. It’s Kuroo, the middle blocker from Nekoma, and two guys from Fukurodani, Bokuto and Akaashi. You listen in.

“Oh, come on, glasses..! It’ll be fun. We need someone to block!” Bokuto says, grinning.

“..Can’t you get someone from Fukurodani..?” Tsukishima asks, in a monotone.

“They’re all gone already. They don’t really want to deal with Bokuto-san” Akaashi replies, only to get a whine and an ‘Akaaaaaashi’ from Bokuto.

“Come on, tall guy. You don’t want to fall behind that shrimp from your team, do you?” Kuroo says, smirking.

…you could intervene, you think.
