[ So maybe he wants to take further steps in getting to know a guy. It ain’t a crime. ]

It’s negotiable. [ Only because you’re his favorite student right about now. ]

But I wanna see that Ushiwaka guy lose, too.

[havent]

Then - please advise me, Kuroo. [ the -san at the end is said with a singsong note, but he's absolutely serious in asking for advise. it's the kind of thing that makes him better as a player, isn't it? it's something that felt awkward in his mouth before, only butting in to time-outs whenever he felt he was needed, but more and more kei has decided to figure out whether or not this strategy or that was enough, and part of that was needing to talk.

if all it takes is a simple question, then he'll do it, he'll ask. ]

Obviously our players in Seijou can't really help us beyond keeping us in shape and refining our techniques.

[ and, not wanting to touch his food anymore - seriously, he can only eat so much salad, he's not a rabbit - he starts pushing away his vegetables while waiting for him to talk. the curry isn't appetizing, either, so he barely touches the damn thing. maybe later when he's feeling more hungry. ]

[uttertrash]

[ Kuroo could weep tears of joy right about now, but lbr it’s mostly the curry getting a little too spicy for his taste.

His farts are gonna smell really bad, man

He leans back, thoughtful—albeit perhaps in the wrong ways. ]

You remember how Bokuto’s spikes could tear your arms off, right?

[ But of course he does. Still. Rhetorical question. He hasn’t seen nearly enough of Ushiwaka’s own matches to figure out a pattern to the guy and Shiratorizawa’s team in general, so a lot of his advice pertaining to that guy in particular isn’t going to help. Especially since Ushiwaka would be smart enough to catch on to blockers trying to fuck with him. ]

[havent]

[ whoa. better be sure to keep hydrated then. ]

The term he used is 'overwhelming'. [ kei sighs at the memory. ] And, well, he only reminded me a few hundred times .....

[ barring another speech, it's this talk and the fact that he had to win against ushiwaka so that he'll have an overwhelming victory over him and tsukki were the ones he remembers most from the other captain.

he hasn't forgotten just how fearsome he can be, however, and truth be told he misses playing with his team. ]

[uttertrash]

[ Why don’t you do the honors Tsukk [kuroo cruise] ]

Then you can tell Ushiwaka’s a lot more intense than even that guy. [ Also stating the obvious, but he’s going somewhere with this. ]

First thing I want you to remember: [ wait for it ]

Don’t break your arm.

[havent]

[ oh wow ]

I kind of like my arms unbroken. Thank you for the reminder.

[ seriously though he's been practicing hand positioning and the like, he recalls the basics that kuroo had taught him back in camp. he's not about to risk stupid injuries for the sake of potentially blocking a spike. ]

[uttertrash]

[ It’s super insightful he knows. ]

Good. [ Let him just pop some beans into his food trap in the meantime. For all their seeming grossness, they’re not all that bad.

For now, anyway. ]

Thash the furst shtep. [ He has been kinda worried that Tsukki might pull something reckless on Ushiwaka out of sheer desperation. Unlike you Karasunos, however, the cats know that sheer recklessness can be fatal in a match. ]

The rest is… [ Gibberish, as he talks with his mouth full. Gross. ]

[havent]

You're disgusting. I'm not going to listen to you talk anymore.

[ he flings a kleenex towards his direction, because goddamit between the two of them someone has to act like the more responsible one. ]

[uttertrash]

Wah~ Shho mean!! [ He swallows with a laugh, catching the Kleenex in hand. ]

I'll show you a few more moves when we get back to the gym, all right? We can even drag that pouty guy [ Kageyama ] over. Shorty can't keep all the flashy tricks to himself, after all.

[havent]

I'm looking forward to it.

[ it's been a while since he's trained with kuroo, after all, and while it won't be with the same company as they had in tokyo, this new team they've got is just as good. and honestly, he doubts kageyama would complain if they ask him to train with him. after all, volleyball's volleyball, even if he has to set to a captain or learn from a rather scary-looking guy. ]
