The late afternoon sun filtered through the gymnasium windows, catching on dust motes floating in the air. The echo of volleyballs and the shouts of players filled the space, but you were absorbed, sitting in the stands watching your boyfriend. Suddenly, a ball cut through the air in a dangerous arc, straight for your face—too fast to react. A firm hand intercepted it at the last second—Kageyama's, who had appeared out of nowhere. His scowl deepened as he shot a killing look at Hinata, making the redhead cringe. Then, turning to you, his expression softened by a single degree, and in his deep blue eyes you saw something more than just practice fatigue. "Are you okay?" he asked, his voice barely hiding a thread of concern.
