Chapter Text
“Hey, guys” monotonously greeted Kenma as he entered the stream. A thousand or so people were already waiting for him, flooding the comments as soon as he appeared on the screen. He mostly tried to stick to the streaming schedule he had posted on twitter, so some of his followers tended to come to the server early, chatting with each other before he even went online, and tens of thousands or more were going to come later. Having such a huge fucking audience would never not be absolutely bizzare to him. “Kozuken here. I know this was supposed to be a Minecraft Thursday, but, unfortunately, we have other plans for today, so try not to unfollow me immediately, I promise I was under coercion”.
gravely
hi kozuken!
raine_yells
oh no, not minecraft thursday😔

rip minecraft thursday
“Yeah, I’m alright, thanks” Kenma said with the tiniest smile tugging at the corner of his lips. “And I just might be, because this menace-“
A body suddenly flew inside the frame in an orange blur of motion, rolling in on a chair that crashed into Kenma’s, almost making both of them collapse to the floor. As Kenma started furiously getting his messed up hair back in order with one hand while cursing quietly under his breath and trying to straighten his chair, a head of flaming red hair suddenly burst up from below the table.
“Hi, Kenma’s followers! My name’s Shoyo and I didn’t coerce anybody, Kenma just loooves me” the boy flung himself at the streamer with a faux-innocent sunny smile, clutched Kenma tightly to his chest and started rubbing his face obnoxiously all over his head.
“Ugh, get off me!” Kenma hissed lowly, trying to slap the redhead away to no avail. It didn’t look like he was trying too hard, anyway.
armandwhore

… boyfriend??
Kenma squinted at the screen, trying to read the comments through Shoyo’s fussing.
“Never. Never ever in my life. This is actually disgusting and I never want to think about it ever again,” he scrunched his nose in disgust and the redhead finally reared up his head from where he was thoroughly messing up Kenma’s hair, again.
“What? What’re they saying?”
“They’re asking if you’re my boyfriend,” Kenma explained, sounding as if even pronouncing the words physically tortured him. Neither of them moved from where they were tangled up together, Hinata perched almost halfway between their chairs.
“Ew, no,” Shoyo shook his head, as if trying to shake the mere thought out of his head. “No way. I’m, like, Kenma’s sibling he never had and never wanted, but got anyway,” he leaned his head on Kenma’s again and smiled cheerfully. Kenma just sighed in response.

“Anyway,” Kenma continued, finally pushing Hinata off himself, the redhead settling eagerly into his own chair, “the reason there’s no Minecraft Thursday today is because Shoyo’s been bothering me for months to play this volleyball simulator he dug up somewhere and it’s his birthday next week, so we’re doing this”. He glared at the redhead who was almost buzzing from excitement in his seat. “Unfortunately”.
“Ugh, stop, I know you’ll love this!” Hinata nudged him with his elbow, his smile suddenly turning a little wistful. “It’ll be just like the old days!”
“Yeah, the old days when we played a sport I hated with a team that sucked,” Kenma rolled his eyes, grabbing his controller.
“Which is why we’ll make our own team that won’t suck!” Shoyo proclaimed optimistically, reaching for his own controller and idly twirling it in his hands. “Or are you just afraid people are gonna find out you actually love volleyball and were an incredibly skillful setter in high school? You’re right, that would be awful,” the redhead nodded with dramatic seriousness. Kenma threw him a stink glare and started the game.
oops.i_did_it_again
i’m sorry. kozuken did WHAT in high school?

KOZUKEN played volleyball?? with what arms??
dangly_cat.jpg
this isn’t real. i’m dreaming.

PICS OR IT DIDN’T HAPPEN

but kozuken being a setter of all positions actually makes so much sense. if it was real. which it’s not, because i’m dreaming.
that_bathtub
wait, shoyo guy said sibling instead of brother. shoyo guy, what pronouns do you use?
waaaaaaaaaait.for_me
but just imagine baby kozuken in high school volleyball uniform i’m dying😭😭 i NEED to see this
“My pronouns?” Shoyo asked, leaning closer to the screen to read the comments. “I don’t know, gender is silly,” he shrugged. “But he/him works just fine, thanks for asking!”
He skimmed his eyes over the comments that kept popping up, until suddenly he beamed and leaned back in his chair.
“You’re right, he was so cute in his uniform! I do actually have a couple of pictures, wait-“ Shoyo reached for his pockets, but Kenma snagged his hands, pinning them to his lap.
“Don’t,” he said evenly, taking his hand back after a moment.
“Sure!” Hinats shrugged, unperturbed. Then he sprawled across his chair, whining “Why is this taking so long to load?”
“Because you picked a dinosaur game, Shoyo, I don’t know what you expected,” Kenma grumbled, looking at where the loading bar crawled across the screen at snail’s pace. “On this alone, I have a very bad feeling about the gameplay. I’m honestly not even sure how a volleyball simulator’s supposed to work”.

The game finally loaded and the settings appeared on screen as synthetic upbeat music started playing in the background. Hinata started gently bopping his head to the beat. Kenma sagged a little in his chair, “So apparently now we choose the colors and the name of the team, and also the players themselves”.
“This is so cool!” Shoyo perked up, fiddling with the controller to open the color palette. “I told you this’ll be fun!” he turned to Kenma with a beaming smile. Kenma kept looking at the screen, but there was the tiniest grin nestled in the corners of his mouth.
“Okay, so what are we thinking here?”
“Maybe black for you, orange for me?” Hinata suggested, leaning his head on his hand in thought.
“Wait, weren’t those Karasuno colors?” Kenma frowned, glancing briefly at the redhead.
“Oh my god, you’re right! No way, ew,” he shuddered with his whole body.
gnhjkart
they’re literally so black cat/orange cat coded this is precious
waaaaaaaaaait.for_me
@gnhjkart I SEE YOUR VISION

wait how do you guys know karasuno
dangly_cat.jpg
also what do you have against them??
charcoalsmudge
me pointing a gun at whatever tf karasuno is: is this shit keeping you from having fun with ur favorite colors, my lieges?
“We played against Karasuno in a tournament in my third year, Shoyo’s second,” Kenma replied, tucking his legs under himself. “It was our first match too, and they destroyed us, we didn’t even get to the third set”.
“And the worst part was that we almost got to the third set, but they crushed us anyway, in the end,” Hinata continued fervently, broadly gesturing with his hands. “They were actually a great team and it was so cool to play with them and get to pick at their style, but we didn’t stand a chance against them, so that was pretty traumatizing”. The redhead sighed and focused back on the screen, making the little players’ uniforms flicker with different colors.
dangly_cat.jpg
are you… telling me you almost got to the third set with fucking karasuno with only two actually competent players on your team?? (at least, as far as i understood)
dangly_cat.jpg
what the hell
noUstfu
the lore is too deep for me, mister @dangly_cat.jpg, sir, please explain
woodlandcreature75
wtf kinda language is this
nastygirl
omg they’re literally high school sweethearts this is amazing
raine_yells
@nastygirl PLEASE STOP
dangly_cat.jpg
@noUstfu karasuno were a powerhouse in my days, are STILL a powerhouse, as far as i know. and if my estimation is correct, these two played against them like a year after they got to the nationals for the first time in a long while, and you have to be VERY GOOD to manage that. my team was wrung dry after playing them on the nationals and we still lost, and we were pretty good.
noUstfu
@dangly_cat.jpg are you telling me you also played volleyball in high school?? on a NATIONAL LEVEL??
noUstfu
does everyone here have secret volleyball player past this is a fever dream
bug_with_a_big_ass
getting jock lore from both kozuken and @dangly_cat.jpg in the same day is actually insane
dangly_cat.jpg
no comment
“Yeah, they were definitely a powerhouse and we weren’t lucky enough to catch them before they finally came together as a team,” Kenma agreed, absentmindedly messing with the fraying edge of his sleeve. Hinata kept flicking through the colors, occasionally humming or shaking his head as he considered them. “And it was more like one and a half competent players, because i was only playing for, like, a year and a half before we entered the tournament, and only because Shoyo started teaching me in his first year. Well, maybe one point seventy five, if you count The Asshole”.
“Uh, no, we’re definitely not counting The Asshole, because he was an asshole and couldn’t even remember the three touch rule, and still claimed he was a star player in middle school or whatever,” Hinata rolled his eyes, the tip of his tongue sticking out in concentration as he kept trying new colors. “I would sooner count Koji, because he could at least manage some receives. The Asshole was just tall and could barely even do anything with it, it was just embarrassing”.
“You dragged Koji in from the football team. You had to explain the rules to him on the way to the stadium,” Kenma pointed out dryly.
“And he still did better,” Shoyo shrugged and let out a little ‘aha!’ sound as he turned to Kenma. “What about green and black?” Kenma let out an agreeable hum and Hinata fist pumped in victory. Then, suddenly, his expression turned serious. “Also, what’s this bullshit about you only being half a player? I would be dead meat without your strategy on court, not to mention a spiker is generally useless without a good setter. And you could literally read them like you saw them down to their bones. I thought that Tanaka dude was genuinely gonna piss himself when you kept predicting and intercepting 70% of his attacks”.
“Don’t remind me, i think he almost broke my fucking wrists with his hits that day,” Kenma grimaced, finally taking the controller in both hands. “Okay, now to starters. We get a setter, duh, do we pull out the libero from the beginning or keep him for later?”
“Better safe than sorry, let’s see what he can do,” shrugged Shoyo, squinting in thought. “I’m thinking an outside hitter and an opposite hitter and two middle blockers”.
“Sure, okay,” agreed Kenma and hit ‘continue’. “Wait, now we gotta name them?”
“Oh yes, this is great!” Hinata crowed, his smile getting wider as he pressed on one of the players. “The outside hitter is Bokuto Koutarou”.
“Shoyo, this isn’t fantasy volleyball,” Kenma sighed.
“Who says it can’t be?” Hinata swiveled in his chair, turning to Kenma with his whole body and raising his eyebrows. “You don’t make the rules”.
“I do, actually, this is my stream,” Kenma pointed out and knocked his knee into Shoyo’s.
“Yeah, but this stream is my birthday present, so I’m in charge,” Hinata grinned smugly, knocking his knee back. Kenma slowly turned to him and blinked, uncomprehending.
“Are you serious? This isn’t your birthday present. I had one prepared for you for weeks,” Kenma said carefully.
Hinata blinked at him and then his face stretched into a sappy grin. “Awww, so you actually cherish our friendship and want me to be happy?” Shoyo cooed, his deceptively angelic smile widening as he leaned closer to Kenma.
“What kind of stupid question is that?” Kenma grumbled, turning back to the screen, his cheeks reddening slightly.
“Then the outside hitter is Bokuto Koutarou,” Shoyo proclaimed proudly and abruptly dropped back into his chair.

“Also, remember that thing Lev said, about ships sailing the way they’re named or something? Well, I want this ship to fly,” Hinata grinned wolfishly, leaning forward on his elbows and typing in the outside hitter’s name.
“We don’t say his name in this household, Shoyo,” Kenma said, annoyed.
“He just wants to be friends with you! I think it’s sweet,” Hinata mused, clicking on another player. “I really don’t know why you hate him so much. He’s pretty good, aside from being taller than anyone should reasonably be,” Shoyo grumbled the last sentence under his breath, frowning.
“I got one friend when i was still young and impressionable, and look where that got me,” Kenma’s words went largely ignored.
“I want one middle blocker to be Aone-san! He’s such a nice guy,” Hinata smiled excitedly, typing the name in.
“I guess,” Kenma complied, voice considering. “I remember when he came up to you after the Karasuno match and stared you down silently. He looked like he was going to beat you up, I was about to jump on his neck and claw his eyes out before he bowed”.
“He was still mostly nonverbal at that point,” Shoyo shrugged. “But it was so nice! He’s so cool and respectful, I want that energy on our team. An amazing blocker, too,” Hinata nodded decisively to himself.

“Okay, your turn,” said Hinata, nudging Kenma with his elbow. “Who’s gonna be the second middle blocker?”
“Kuroo Tetsurou,” Kenma replied, keeping his eyes straight on the screen, and started typing in the name. Shoyo froze for a second and slowly turned his head towards him, like a bloodhound sniffing out the its injured prey, his grin devious.
“Oh, is he?” he sing-songed, leaning closer.
“He’s one of the best middle blockers in the league, great strategist, good at reading his opponents. I want that energy on our team,” he shrugged, voice carefully neutral, not turning away from the screen.
“You want that energy alright,” Hinata crooned, slowly leaning away from him. He kept throwing unsubtle side-glances at Kenma, which the latter surreptitiously ignored.
“Shut up,” Kenma hissed eventually, his face reddening.
“Sure,” shrugged Shoyo, the grin not leaving his face. “Sure, buddy,” he softly patted his friend’s knee.

“I don’t have a crush. On anybody. Of any kind,” Kenma gritted out, his face steadily growing redder and redder.
Hinata leveled him with the most condescending stare the world has seen in the entirety of its history. “Uh-huh,” he nodded, patting Kenma’s head this time. “Of course you don’t”.

Hinata glanced at the comment section, but quickly averted his eyes. “Well, Kuroo-san it is! He is a very good middle blocker,” Shoyo’s expression turned pensive. “Besides, aren’t him and Bokuto-san, like, best friends? I wouldn’t want to separate them,” Hinata smiled and leaned his head on Kenma’s shoulder, looking up at him dopily. “Being on a team with your best friend is so cool”.
Kenma smiled, barely noticeable, and gently bumped his head against Shoyo’s. They stayed in this position as Kenma clicked on the next player.

“Okay, what about our libero? Any thoughts?” Hinata asked, settling more comfortably on Kenma’s shoulder. It looked like he wasn’t planning on moving anytime soon.
“Yaku Morisuke,” Kenma said immediately.
“Oh yeah, he’s great!” Shoyo nodded. “Lev’s actually a huge fan of his because he used to play for the Russian League before he came back to Japan”.
Kenma stilled, pursing his lips and closing his eyes, and took a deep breath. “I’m going to pretend I didn’t hear you say that,” Kenma opened his eyes and typed in the name. “Yaku was actually my upperclassman in middle school and I don’t care what he thinks about him”.
“You know Lev’s not gonna magically pop up here out of nowhere if you say his name, right? He’s not some demon,” Hinata raised his head from Kenma’s shoulder to stare at him. “Also, how come you never told me you were in the same middle school as Yaku-san?! This is so cool,” Shoyo sighed, starry-eyed, laying his head back on Kenma’s shoulder.

“Okay, so now we only have the setter and the opposite hitter left”. Kenma noted, rolling his shoulders. Hinata settled back into his own chair, sticking the tip of his tongue out again.
“No we don’t,” chirped Shoyo and quickly typed in the setter’s name as ‘kenma’.
Kenma turned to stare at him blankly. “We’re not doing this. This isn’t fantasy volleyball at this point, that’s just self-insert fanfiction”.

Hinata shrugged, typing in ‘shoyo’ as the last hitter’s name. “Who cares? You’re the only setter I want to play with”.
“That’s just not true and you know it,” Kenma rolled his eyes, sagging deeper into his chair. “Besides, I can’t be the only setter you play with, that just impedes your versatility”.
“Well, you weren’t,” Shoyo pouted. “I played with Heitor in Brazil”.
“He also wasn’t actually a setter,” Kenma noted.
“Well, it was a two-on-two beach volleyball tournament, everybody had to be a setter a little bit,” Hinata mused, running his hand through his hair.

Hinata positively lit up with a wide smile, starting to bounce in his chair from excitement, “That is my Pedro! Do you know him? Tell him I said hi!” he waved at the screen.
Kenma frowned. “Didn’t Pedro ask you for my autograph? I genuinely forgot he was watching my streams for a while”.

“Especially considering you’re the farthest thing from silent or inconspicuous,” Kenma nodded, a teasing smile twitching in the corner of his lips.
“Hey!”

“I did actually meet Oikawa-san while I was there, it was amazing,” Hinata said, gaze drifting, as if lost in memories. “He’s absolutely insane, it was so cool to get to play with him, even if he was a little scary”. Shoyo suddenly sprung up, pointing at Kenma triumphantly, “Ha! See, I told you I played with other setters!”
“Okay, okay, i get it,” Kenma sighed, as Hinata sat back in his chair smugly.

“Eh, he’ll live,” Hinata waved his hand dismissively and froze. “Right. The game!” He chuckled awkwardly, his cheeks turning red. “Sorry for getting sidetracked, Kenma’s followers,” he rubbed the back of his head bashfully, bowing slightly.
Kenma shook his head silently and pressed ‘continue’, finally moving on with the game. “If I wasn’t prepared to get side-tracked, I wouldn’t invite you to the stream,” he admitted plainly.
“Fair enough,” Hinata shrugged.

… can we all agree that shoyo guy has adhd
razor_dull
@bladderstone_heart YES FINALLY someone said this
raine_yells
@bladderstone_heart … i don’t disagree, but also who are we to diagnose other people
“Oh, no, he definitely has ADHD,” Kenma agreed absently, clicking on the ‘team name’ window. “What are we going to call ourselves?”
“Huh. I do?” Hinata tilted his head in consideration. “I guess I never thought about it that way. Also, I got a name!” he quickly typed in ‘BAKYSK’. “What d’you think?”
Kenma stared at it blankly for a second and then shrugged. “Sure, that works”.

yeah no shoyos 100% adhd

Kenma scrolled through the difficulty settings that popped up next. “Should we just go with ‘easy’?”
Hinata gasped, clutching his chest in offense. “What do you take us for, amateurs? Choose the ‘insane’ one,” he demanded, like a soldier of an ancient civilization preparing to go into battle.
“I know your perception of reality is skewed, but I am actually an amateur,” Kenma intoned flatly, clicking on the ‘insane’ level nonetheless. Hinata perked up with a retort, starting to get out of his seat to make a point, but Kenma just put his hand flat on Shoyo’s face, looking him straight in the eyes, and forcefully pushed him back. He then nonchalantly turned back to the screen.
“So I guess now they’re gonna randomly choose an opposing team for us,” Kenma observed while a bunch of team banners started flashing on the screen until finally stopping on the red banner reading ‘Akai’.
“Did they seriously program these teams to have different strategies and styles? Wow, somebody put a lot of thought into this,” Hinata whistled, impressed. “Kinda boring that they just named them after colors though”.

Kenma pressed the ‘Start!’ button and a court appeared on screen, with both teams lined up on the opposite ends of it. Then a text box popped up, detailing the rules of the game. “We will have five seconds after the ball comes to our side of the net and every time somebody on our team hits it to move the players. Also, unlimited time in between the serves, the opposing team only serves once we click”, Kenma concluded thoughtfully, briefly taking his hand off the controller to tuck his hair behind his ears.
“This is actually a lot of time,” Shoyo mused. “For those of you who never played: you never have that much time in between the hits on the real court, well, unless it’s a really high pass”. Hinata skimmed the text box with his eyes and perked up, starting to fidget in his chair. “Wait, we could look at our players’ stats and special moves all this time? This is so cool!”
Kenma immediately clicked on the setter, reading through his information. “Very low power, jump and stamina, as expected.”
“Awww, Kenma, he’s just like you!” Hinata crooned, his wide smile mischievous. Kenma just rolled his eyes in response.

“Oh, that’s a good question actually!” Shoyo straightened in his chair, fingers tapping to the rhythm of the background music. The answer seemed to take him longer than it should’ve had.
“Don’t strain yourself,” Kenma snorted, reading through the rest of their team’s stats. Hinata knocked him silently with his knee, not breaking out of his thought process.
“I guess… Miya Atsumu,” Shoyo finally replied, tilting his head. “He’s very versatile and brought a lot to the Jackals. His kill serves are amazing, too”.
“As if,” Kenma piped up, not turning away from the screen. Hinata knocked him with his knee again, harder this time.

“My thoughts on Kageyama Tobio?” Shoyo stilled, his face turning serious unexpectedly.
“There it is,” Kenma sighed, leaning back in his chair.
“I hate him. I hate his stupid little smug face,” Hinata proclaimed solemnly. “He’s a pretentious dumbass and if I ever saw him on the street I would kick him in the shins”.

“His drink of choice is milk, of all things! I mean, who can even drink milk all the time? That’s just gross!” Hinata flailed his arms in growing outrage. “His breath probably stinks. I bet he’s a stinky man, overall”.

“And also, literally who comes up to a member of the team you just crushed into the dust and goes-“ he flattened his hair to his forehead with the hand not holding the controller and frowned his eyebrows. “Your team sucks. Idiot,” he grumbled in a gravely voice, and then let go of his hair and continued in his normal voice, “Dumbasses, that’s who”.

@cracknsnap as a person who drinks milk all the time i feel personally attacked
dangly_cat.jpg
but fr shoyo guy if kageyama-kun personally came up to you after your match to tell you your team sucks and not YOU suck that means he was probably very impressed, that’s just how his brain works. and that begs the question of exactly how good shoyo guy must really be if he impressed hs kageyama
steve_h_in_yoga_pants
@dangly_cat.jpg and you gained all that intimate knowledge on the inner workings of kageyama tobio’s brain just by playing against him ONCE in a hs tournament?? this is getting pathetic dangly_cat ur not fooling anybody
dangly_cat.jpg
@steve_h_in_yoga_pants please don’t say intimate in the same sentence as kageyama tobio ever again ESPECIALLY in relation to me or i’m gonna throw up
“Like, yeah, we get it!” Hinata rambled on, his motions getting more and more frenetic, “You’re insanely good, your pass accuracy and speed are unparalleled, your kill serves, well, kill, you’re amazing at reading your teammates and enhancing their strengths with very personalized tosses for each of them, your drops are always timed perfectly and are literally mind-blowing, you don’t give in under pressure and you’re, just, very fucking cool!” he threw up his hands, annoyed and seemingly even slightly wistful, almost panting from how fast he’s been talking. “But it doesn’t give him the right to be so… so dumb!”he finally exclaimed. “And his new bangs are stupid”.

@bokutos_kneepads FUCKING YES i really feel like we’re not talking about it enough this is INSANE

Kenma’s face slowly stretched into a shit-eating grin. “You want Kageyama to toss for you so bad,” he drawled, turning to face Hinata.
Shoyo’s face turned scarlet. “Fucking, duh. Who wouldn’t?” he grumbled, throwing up his hands and crossing them on his chest defensively.
“I don’t,” Kenma shrugged, turning back to the screen.
“Well, you’re a setter, of course you wouldn’t,” Hinata rolled his eyes. “I remember when I saw him play in middle school and he kept tossing too fast for his teammates, and I was like ‘I could hit that!’” he exclaimed in indignation. “I was genuinely so mad at them for missing those passes too, like, I would kill to have somebody pass for me like that,” Shoyo pouted.
“And you used to run up for the hit too fast, jumping when the ball didn’t even leave my hands yet and losing momentum because I couldn’t pass the ball fast enough to keep up with you,” Kenma remembered, messing with the hem of his hoodie with his hands. “Truly a match made in heaven,” Kenma noted dryly, a tiny teasing smile appearing in the corner of his mouth. Hinata hit him on the shoulder, turning even more red.

can you all please leave me alone already
“I take the fact that the only short player on the team is libero as a personal insult,” Hinata pouted, clicking through the players’ stats.
“I guess it would be weird for a game like that to account for anything other than the stereotypical volleyball player image,” Kenma mused. “At least the setter’s middle-sized”.
“Yeah, but have they never heard of, I don’t know, Hoshiumi Korai, for example? He’s the Adlers’ ace, and he’s insane! That’s just disrespectful,” Shoyo shook his head in disappointment.
“Yeah, but even he’s taller than you,” Kenma pointed out, instinctively dodging the elbow jab Hinata sent him immediately after.

“Okay, so we have a sync attack - which is cool, except libero and setter can’t participate and that’s just boring, - and, as far as i can tell, the players can feint, so I’m assuming the opposite team will be reading our players’ movements even outside of the actual attacks, and that’s very cool,” Hinata’s eyes widened in surprise. “This game is so surprisingly thoughtful when it comes to the little volleyball things, the blatant disrespect for short people aside”.
“That’s true,” Kenma admitted, almost reluctant. “I’m going to be honest with my expectations going in: I don’t think this will be great overall in terms of gameplay and the intricacies that actually make volleyball so interesting,” Kenma took a scrunchie from his wrist to pull his hair in a little low ponytail. “There’s just too many details like finger placement, eye movement, emotional pressure, stuff like that, that can’t be accounted for in a video game. But from what we’ve seen so far, this is shaping up to be a lot better then I thought this game would be,” Kenma shrugged, taking the controller back into his hands.
Hinata froze, stunned. “You’re pulling your hair up. You’re actually taking this seriously!” He grinned and poked Kenma’s shoulder with his finger. “You can admit you’re loving it, I promise nobody’s gonna judge you”.
“I just said it was better than I expected,” Kenma grumbled, leaning forward on his elbows.
“Sure, sure,” Hinata rolled his eyes and leaned forward too, mirroring Kenma’s pose. “Okay, there’s only one thing left to do before we begin,” Shoyo said, tone turning unexpectedly serious.
“What?” Kenma asked, unimpressed.
“The team captain!” Hinata perked up excitedly, the change in his face instantaneous. “There’s no good team without a good captain, and our team is the best!”

you’re so right, shoyo guy. wiser words have never been said

“Okay, sure,” Kenma agreed easily. “Who are you thinking?”
“I think Kuroo-san would make a great captain for BAKYSK,” Hinata mused, tilting his head in thought. “I think he was a great captain in Nekoma, but we never actually got to play against them in the nationals,” he said, wilting.
“Sounds good to me,” Kenma said with forced nonchalance. That made Shoyo’s mouth twitch in a beginning of a grin, but he quickly hid it behind an incredibly unsubtle cough.

how tf did out of the TWO actual players they have they chose the team member that’s not even actually present WHAT WAS THE REASON

“So,” Hinata intoned, straightening up and rolling his shoulders. Suddenly, he froze. Then he pulled at the hem of his sweatshirt and started awkwardly pulling it off over his head.
“That’s better,” he sighed in relief as he finally took it off and then threw it somewhere off screen in a quick movement, leaving him in a plain dark-green t-shirt.
“Why did you even put it on before the stream if you knew you were going to get hot later?” Kenma asked, quickly glancing at Hinata.
“Well, it’s cozy,” Shoyo shrugged, and then quickly gathered himself, settling his now bare forearms on his lap and turning to look at the animated BAKYSK team on the screen, his face solemn. “Okay, so-“

“- I know our team captain isn’t here right now-“ Hinata started.
“You make it sound like he died.”
“But! We - me and Kenma, I mean,” - Shoyo continued, ignoring his best friend completely, getting more worked up as he spoke, a fire of determination and drive lighting up deep within his eyes, “- will do our best to channel his spirit, experience and amazing skills to lead our team into this important match. I know the ‘Akai’ guys may seem unbeatable now. I mean, red is a pretty scary color-“ he paused, losing himself in thought for a second, but then, tilting his head in consideration, continued, “-and this is ‘insane’ level. It really seems like the odds are stacked against us - trust me when I say I know how that feels,” Hinata chuckled to himself humorlessly, his gaze tilting downwards, wistful. “But we have some of the best players in the league on our team!” his eyes burned with determination again, a wide grin spreading across his face. “We also have Kenma’s unmatched strategy skills and my, well,-” he hesitated, “- very strong desire to play volleyball?” - he finished timidly.
“Your jumps, speed, misdirection skills-“ Kenma piped up, counting off on his fingers.
“Well, this isn’t about me,” Hinata steamrolled over the interruption. Kenma’s glare in his direction indicated that that particular conversation was very much not over. “So, with all of that totally amazing awesomeness on our side, we’re gonna crush these Akai guys into the dirt! Go BAKYSK!” He cheered, pumping his fist in the air.

“Anything to add, Kenma? As our vice-captain,” Hinata nudged him in the knee, turning to Kenma with a mischievous smile.
“Since when?” Kenma balked at that.
“Since, like-“ Shoyo paused, scrunching his nose and looking upwards in thought. “- two seconds ago”.
“I never agreed to that,” Kenma grumbled, looking resigned already.
“Well, maybe this isn’t my birthday present, but my birthday is in a week, so i get to decide,” Hinata proclaimed confidently.

“C’mon, Kenma, we can’t start the match without an inspiring speech from our vice-captain,” Shoyo needled, before straightening up as he started clapping and cheering obnoxiously, “KEN-MA KEN-MA KEN-MA-“
Kenma sighed loudly, rubbing the bridge of his nose. “Okay, sure,” He looked at the screen with serious solemnity on his face and said, “I want these Akai losers weeping on the ground like little babies by the time we’re done with them. Go BAKYSK,” he raised his fist to the side without looking, and Hinata hit his fist against it with an elated smile on his face.
“Go BAKYSK!” Shoyo cheered again and finally hit the ‘start the match’ button.
