See NOW Tsukki just has to prove he is RIGHT XD

[saltinourstars]

Kageyama

People can do stupid things for MORE

THAN

ONE

REASON

[Especially when it involves hormones.]

i'm DYING for him sdkjfh

[dumpset]

...have you ever done something like this?

Ef his life

[saltinourstars]

Done stupid things for several reasons?

[Kageyama probably means more along the lines of dealing with a crush.

Tsukki is probably dodging.]

[dumpset]

done stupid things for a crush

[ he said what he said ]

[saltinourstars]

[Sure.

Right now.

Telling someone else Hinata has a crush on him, and not -

Never mind.]

No.

[Denial. Denial always works.]

[dumpset]

[ press x to doubt.

what's interesting is tsukishima didn't deny having a crush, just that he doesn't do stupid things for them. ]

who do you have a crush on?

[saltinourstars]

[!

How dare Kageyama grow emotional intelligence or whatever.]

Who said I did

[dumpset]

[ he's LEARNING ]

you didn't deny having one

[saltinourstars]

[Rude stop it.]

We aren't talking about me.

[dumpset]

is it yamaguchi

[saltinourstars]

[Wow.

Tsukki actually hammers out several sentences in response to that.

Then takes a breath.

Deletes and starts over.]

I am not playing guessing games, Kageyama.

[dumpset]

what are you afraid of

it's just a crush

you're too strong to be crushed by a crush

[ um... he thinks he's being helpful.

tobio did just compliment tsukishima, after all. in his own weird way. ]

[saltinourstars]

[Now Kageyama is being encouraging.

Tsukki would laugh, if it wasn't so absolutely ridiculous.]

I'm fine

Worry about your own relationships.

Or don't and let things implode I guess you can do what you want

[dumpset]

i'm trying to be a good...

friend.

so if you need to talk about it... i can listen.

[ tsukishima getting frustrated at tobio with the whole hinata thing got tobio thinking that there may have been some projecting going on. ]

[saltinourstars]

[Tsukki actually has to stare at that message.

Make sure he's read it right.]

What _happened_ to you at that Training Camp?

[To be fair, it's probably been building longer than that.]

[dumpset]

[ suga-senpai has been a great influence, alright ]

i practiced a lot with formidable volleyball players

[ probably not the kind of answer tsukishima was looking for ]

[saltinourstars]

[...SIGH.]

Never mind.

these two smh

[dumpset]

...ok

Timeskip, As Discussed. PS Anime only and I WILDLY make things up! :)

[saltinourstars]

[Well that backfired spectacularly.

Clicking his tongue, Tsukki snaps the phone off.

What was he hoping to accomplish? Let Hinata trail after Kageyama like a puppy. Let Kageyama be ungrateful for simple advice. Let them...

Alone.

Just let it alone.

The mantra repeats through his head all afternoon. And evening. Through the morning practice. If he's snapping more than usual? Avoiding the Monster Pair? Nerves. Easy to explain, with Tokyo coming up.]

[dumpset]

[ Tobio's not surprised by the lack of response from Tsukishima last night. But he is... concerned (?) by the amount of dark energy exuding from the taller man during this morning's practice.

But instead of asking Tsukishima about it during practice, Tobio decides it can wait until after. Tobio has the consideration not to corner Tsukishima in front of everyone, at least.

So once they've changed out of their gym clothes, Tobio waits for Tsukishima by the locker room. ]

Hey. [ He calls out. ] Are... you okay?

[saltinourstars]

[Oh, good.

Exactly what he did not need.

And Yamaguchi's gone ahead to talk to Yachi. There's not even a buffer. Sighing, Tsukki shifts his bag straps.]

If I say 'Fine,' you're not going away, are you.

[dumpset]

[ Tobio frowns because even he knows Tsukishima is obviously Not Fine. And that this may have something to do with their conversation from the other day. ]

Not until you tell me what's wrong. [ He has a weird way of showing it but Tobio does care, okay! ]

[saltinourstars]

[It has everything to do with that conversation. A hot wave of irritation rises up. Tsukki bites it back into a neutral smile.]

I already told you.

And since you aren't going to do anything about it - Excuse me.

[With that he steps around Kageyama.

Or tries to, anyway.]

[dumpset]

[ Nope. You're not going anywhere, Tsukishima. Tobio is quick to get in his way. ]

What do you mean I'm not doing anything about it? I'm right here.

[ He's trying to help, trying to listen. He wants to be a good friend, alright?? ]

[saltinourstars]

Hey!

[Damn Kageyama and his reflexes. Tsukki nearly trips over him.

The glare could melt steel.]

Don't worry about me, all right? I'm not the one you need to talk to.
