[ This also explains how Tsukishima knows who Hinata likes (probably, but still up for debate), since one can't help but observe their crush closely. ]
I consider both of you as my friends.
[ Yes, even you, Tsukishima. Because of club and tutoring, there's literally no one else Tobio has hung out with as much as he has with them.
But what he's also trying to say is that even if Hinata might like him, Tobio would only still see him as a friend.
And with that said, he pats Tsukishima on the shoulder before walking ahead. ]

[ Well, maybe.
It depends on the answer.
Tobio will try to keep his word though. ]
no subject
It's Hinata.
Have a good day.
[Tsukki stops. Waiting for his unwanted company to keep walking, without much hope.
No way he's getting away with just that.
Is he?]
no subject
He gives the taller man an unreadable look. ]
Since when?

Indecipherable for indecipherable.]
Since when is this leaving me alone?
no subject
At least things are slowly making sense. ]
It's just. I had no idea.
[ Well, a lot of things can get past you, Tobio... No surprise there. ]
no subject
That was the idea.
[Because if Tsukki didn't admit it, he didn't have to deal with it.
Foolproof plan.]

Then as a friend, I'm asking you not to say anything.
[It's a risk, and maybe Tsukki shouldn't even have said that much. Kaeyama Tobio is not a good liar.
But maybe it won't be so much a lie as omission.]
no subject
That might be difficult but not impossible. Tobio just has to watch what he says, unlike... what he normally does. ]
I won't tell him. [ Not on purpose, at least. ]
