"Take it down? Why? How?" Kuroo says, as I walk over and move the mat out of the way. "Cause I need to adjust it and I don't want anyone sneaking in and fucking with it. I'm gonna take it down by climbing the wall and monkey swinging my way to it." I say, walking to grab the ladder as Kozu just snorts at my joke. "That'd be pretty cool to watch." Kuroo says, though I just smile back at him as I grab the ladder, hauling it over under the ribbon. "Hey! I could've grabbed that for you." Kuroo says, holding the ladder still for me as I climb up, carefully detaching the suspender and wrapping the ribbon around my waist before clinging back down. "You can put it back for me if you'd like. I was going to ask you to help me move the mat though, it's too big for me." I say and he hums, closing the ladder and walking it back over to the wall and I untangle myself from the ribbon, stashing it back in the ribbon bag. When I turn back, Kuroo is already hauling the mat single handedly to the place I had got it from. "Hey! Why- you!" I say, dashing over and helping him haul it over to the wall. "I had it." Kuroo chuckles, but I just stick my tongue out at him, walking back over to my bag.
I slide off my ankle guards, putting them away and pulling out my knee guards. I put them on before sliding my socks and sneakers back on, deciding to leave my pants off since it'd be easier to move around without them. I grab a hair tie, pulling my hair up in a ponytail before heading to the court Kozu and Kenma had set up. "So just us three? How's it going to work?" I ask, though Kuroo just shakes his head at me. "I just wanted to practice my receives with that serve you do, but you invited Kenma so… you tell me what you have in mind." Kuroo says, so I hum softly and itch my cheek. "How about 3 vs 3? I can invite Hina-Kun and Yama-Kun, they didn't get much practice in since they're late. Those two need to work on getting through blocks too, and you guys can work on your receives." I say, Kuroo clicking his tongue in disappointment. "We can invite Lev, he needs a lot of work as well." Kozu says, Kuroo letting out a deep sigh. "But then that makes two middle blockers and one setter." Kuroo says, and I laugh softly. "Then we'll have the same set up! I'll act as the captain and receiver, as well as the server." I say, pulling my phone out and texting the boys to join us.
Not long after I hear enthusiastic yelling as they dash in the gym, running over to us. "You texted?" Yama pants, leaning on his knees as he smiles up at me. "Yeah! You guys down to play some 3 vs 3 with us?" I ask, and the boys nod enthusiastically. "Okay, you guys get Lev here while I discuss with my team." I say to Kozu and Kuroo, gesturing for the boys to huddle up. "So this is how it's going to work, I'm going to be the server, captain and receiver. I won't be communicating through words though, I have a special thing I do. I'm going to be communicated through movements. One tap of my foot, set to me. Two taps, set to Hina-kun, three taps you decide. I'll flip my hair to the left if I want Hina to advance, to the right if I'm going to advance. If I blink after flipping my hair, go to the right. If I don't, go left. Got it?" I ask, and they both blink at me dumbfounded. I explain to them separately so they know which cues to take, going over it twice just in case. A tall boy with ash blonde hair says, and I gasp as I look over at him. "Holy cow! You're so tall!" I say, the boy smiling at me as he walks onto the court. "And you're a good dancer." He says, making my cheeks burn.
