"Would you go out with me tomorrow?"
It was a beautiful Sunday morning. The train station is packed with variety of people; teenagers, families, couples.. Standing by the entrance is a tall teenage boy with a permanent scowl on his face. Contrary, to his expression, he does seems to dress for the occasion; navy blue hooded jacket over a gray tank top, skinny jeans and high top trainers. A few minutes later, a petite girl come running towards him.
"I'm sorry Kageyama-kun! Have you been waiting long?" she repeatedly bowing her head to apologise, one could mistaken her for their club advisor, Take-chan. "Really, it's fine.. I haven't waited for so long!" Kageyama frantically trying to ensure her as they started to get the look from the passersby. "Lets go?" he said as he started walking in a considerably fast pace making Yachi had to run a bit to chase after him. Unknown to the couple, hiding behind the bushes a few meter from them, are Hinata, Tanaka and Nishinoya.
Its all started when Hinata accidentally come across the infamous afterschool confession on his way to the toilet. He then told Tanaka and Noya about it and the three stooges decided to 'join' Kageyama and Yachi's date for the 'sake of the team'.
"That Kageyama! I never peg him as someone bold and honest. To ask a girl out like that.." said Tanaka.
"That cheeky brat! How dare he got himself a girlfriend before his senpai!" said Noya
"That Kageyama.. I didn't know he has feelings.." said Hinata.
They watches intently as Kageyama and Yachi walks side by side, chatting, and looking all chummy from behind a vending machine when; "What are you guys doing?" the three jumped in shock then quickly turn around. "Seijou's Turnip head!" yelp Hinata earning him a blow on his head. "Who're you calling Turnip Head?! The name is Kindaichi, damn it!"
"oh, uninspired-kun is here too.." added Noya. "It's Kunimi." Said the boy, as unmotivated as ever. "What are you guys doing here?" asked Tanaka. "We're running some errant for the team.. wait, we ask you guys first right? What are you guys doing, snooping around.." before Kindaichi could finish, Kunimi pushed him behind the Vending machine before hiding himself there too. "What are you doing?" he ask with an angered tone but his friend simply pointed at the scene in front of them. "Kageyama.. and that cute manager?"
"That's right, Turnip-kun.. we are spying on Kageyama's date." Both Kindaichi and Kunimi froze for a second before cocking their head in confusion. "Kageyama? Date? Our king? With that girl? Date?" the three stooges nod in confirmation. Instantly Kindaichi broke into a hysterical state, spouting things that sounds like "dreaming" and "apocalypse is approaching" while Kunimi keep on his cool facade, took out his smartphone, and starts dialling someone with his trembling hands. Around 10 minutes later, they were joined by Oikawa and Iwaizumi ("I was dragged here against my will.")
"What miracle is this?! Tobio-chan got himself a girl! A cute one at that!" chided Oikawa earning him a hit at the back of his head by Iwaizumi. "You guys are making such a big deal out of this. Kageyama is a healthy 15 year old boy right? His look wasn't bad either. It's normal if he if he wants to get himself a girlfriend or two.."
"What are you saying, Iwa-chan? It's Tobio we're talking about.." said Oikawa in a matter-of-factly tone. Iwaizumi turns towards the younger boys and they all gave him the same look as Oikawa. "You guys ain't gonna retort that ain't you?" said Iwaizumi, directed towards the Karasuno members.
"Shit! They're moving! Come on!" said Oikawa, taking the role of the leader of the stalking team. "Damn that clueless brat! He's walking too fast! The girl tripped a few times trying to catch up with him!" grumped Oikawa. "Oh! He stopped!" noted Hinata.
"Wait! He's saying something! 'there are a lot of people here.. we might get separated.. here, hold this'?" Yachi reluctantly grabs the hem of Kageyama's jacket. Her face is tomato red. Then the two starts walking again, this time in a much relaxed pace. Damn it! That is smooth!
"Nice ear Tanaka-san/Ryuu!" exclaim both Hinata and Noya. They watches as Kageyama and Yachi went into another shop.
"Hey, don't you guys thinks it's weird that they only enters a sports shop?" asked Iwaizumi but his question was ignored by all. "Oh, they went out again! It seems like they bought something this time!" said Kunimi.
"Oh! It seems like he's buying her ice cream!" Kindaichi noted. "Ahh! Seeing them having ice cream so happily is so infuriating!" Noya added. Everyone seems to be agreeing.
"Eh? Oikawa-san? Are you crying?" everyone turned towards the setter. Oikawa frantically wiping off his tears. "What are you talking about chibi-chan! It's just sweats! I'm sweating!" Iwaizumi's lips formed a mischievous grin. "Oho.. I didn't know eyes could sweat.." "Yes they can! And stop focusing on me and go back to stalks Tobio-chan!"
"Stalks me? Why did you guys stalk me?"
"Isn't it obvious? Because you're on a.. HIIIIIIIIIIIIII! TOBIO?"
Kageyama glares at them one by one. All six of the stalker groups cowers behind Iwaizumi. "Geh! Hinata! You're here too?" "What do you mean 'geh' huh?!" the small boy retort before went back hiding behind Iwaizumi. Kageyama let out a heavy sigh. "Oi Hinata, come here." He ordered. Both Tanaka and Kindaichi are more than ready to sacrifice the small boy to thee dark King that is standing in front of them.
Hinata was shaking and practically wince when Kageyama hands him a paper bag. "Here you go." Huh? Hinata (as well as all the boys) look at Kageyama, visually confused. Yachi steps out, thinking that someone need to explain the entire situation to the boys. "Kageyama-kun asks me out today to help him chose a present for Hinata. It suppose to be a secret too.. hehee." Explain the girl. Her voice is slightly trembled due to her being intimidated with Seijou's members.
"Chose a present for Hinata? Not a date?"
"Date?" both Kageyama and Yachi cocked their head as if the word is foreign to them. It took them a second to realize what it meant and started to deny frantically.
"I/he simply ask her/me out for an opinion as to what I/he should buy for Hinata!" said Kageyama and Yachi in unison, both are flustered.
"It's your birthday the other day right?" Kageyama turn towards the still confused Hinata. "It's your birthday present." Kageyama's face turn bright red. "Happy belated birthday, Hinata."
