[ Tobio straightens, glaring back at Tsukishima. Shut up?? That doesn't answer any of Tobio's questions at all.
He belatedly realizes they have an audience, jumping a bit from the sound of Suga-senpai's voice when he suddenly asks if everything's alright. Tobio gives a stiff nod as an answer, which means not really but they'll handle it. Hopefully.
After giving a short respectful bow to their senpais, Tobio stalks towards Tsukishima, nudging at his arm so that they can walk back to their school's main building together. The path to their classrooms are in the same direction after all. ]
Sorry. [ Tobio mumbles, not having meant to embarrass Tsukishima in front of their teammates. ]
[ 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. ]

[Fortunately, the older students are letting Tsukki and Kageyama settle it.
For now.
Tsukki stares straight ahead. Weighing the limited, terrible options.]
If I answer you, will you leave me alone?
no subject
[ 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?
no subject
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. ]
