Nekoma arrived, just like what Nekomata said while in call with Takeda.

" Yo, little crows." the captain approached, " Still haven't seen Tokyo City?"

" Such a good greeting, Kuroo." said Daichi. The both of them close-eyed smile at each other and shake hands. Oh. So you still can't intimidate him, huh?

" Anyways, what's with the sudden visit? 'Kinda thought we'll see each other at the training camp." said Sugawara, seeing Nekoma's libero approaching from behind.

" Thought so too. Well, coach said you guys have pretty interesting new players and you guys have new strategies?" Kuroo roamed his eyes around, and stops right at Kageyama before he could look further, " This guy's pretty good. Daichi told me your dump attack."

" It was a literal dump attack. But you got me impressed." the libero praised, " I wanna receive one just like that soon."

" Be my guest." the raven responded with a slight smirk, which made the two nekoma players laugh.

Kuroo snorted, " I like this kid."

" Oy! You five! get over here and change!" yelled Ukai from the other side of the court, standing beside Nekomata, who smiled at all of them the usual close-eyed.

" Damn this is heavy." Shoyo grunted, fixing the sling of the water carrier bag over his shoulder.

The campus water station was far away from the gym, and more closer to the basketball court. He huff and puff while silently while bringing the water carrier-bag, it's catching some of the basketball players in practice.

" Hey." someone cooed from behind. Shoyo swift his sweaty fringes to the side to turn to the person.

" Need some help? you look exhausted." the boy responded, and stand closer to him, " I can carry it for you to the gym."

" Ah no need. I can carry it, Thank you for the offer though." the ginger bowed his head slighlty, figured that he's talking to an upperclassmen seeing how tall the boy was.

" You look tired. C'mon lemme carry it." the boy insisted, attempting to get the bag from him.

Shoy backed away slightly, " No, really. It's fine."

He pretended to look behind the boy, " I think you should go back now. Your teammates are looking for you."

The boy looked back, and Shoyo took the chance to leave while he's not looking. Just when he's about to take his fourth step, a hand harshly pulled his arm that was supporting the sling of the carrier, making it abruptly drop on the ground, " Where do you think you are going, little manager?"

" I-It hurts. Let me go!" the ginger yelped.

" You should've just accept my offer while being nice, right?" the boy whispered roughly, leaning down along with pulling him close.

The ginger firmly stared up at the boy while trying to get off the boy's grasp.

The boy squeezed his arm harder, " Watch who you glare at, little manager. Don't piss around with me."
