Step 1: Be nice with Hinata.
As a result of his deep research, he found how Kageyama usually frown when somebody was specially kind with Hinata. At first, Tsukishima thought that it was because The King had a little afraid from that his best friend would be stolen, and it was possible if we remember that Kageyama hadn't friends until Hinata became his rival and eventually became his friend, now both of them seem to be the closest friends in the team. But, when he watched him blushing with a simple smile from Hinata, or when he punched himself (while apparently nobody was watching at him) after he "accidently" fell upon his teammate and with a deep look he stared at his friend's eyes, unable to move apart and stand up, Kei started to think that that relationship wasn't a "strong friendship" anymore. His Majesty was actually in love with Hinata, but it seemed that the orange haired guy hadn't noticed yet, furthermore, it seemed that nobody but him hadn't realized it, even when it was so obvious, and God knows that Tsukishima couldn't lost an opportunity like that.
And maybe the destiny was from his side because the first chance to start his plan appeared early in the morning. Apparently, the tire of Hinata's bicycle was struck out near to the school and the little boy had a difficult time trying to carry his bag and the bike on with one hand, and a strange big box with the other. Without saying nothing, the tallest guy walked fast to catch him up and took the bike to help him. Hinata, of course, was shocked for a moment but with a smile he continued walking by his side and when Tsukishima finished to park the bicycle, with a shining smile he thanked for the help.
–Let's hurry, you have a test today, right?
–How do you know it? –the small boy asked with surprise.
–Heard it on yesterday's practice –a Tsukki's simple answer, as always.
Both of them walked to their classrooms in silence again. Tsukishima wanted to ask about that big box but he didn't want to seem talkative so suddenly with a boy with he never talks, it may be suspicious. Anyway, he didn't wait too much to have his answer. During lunch break, Yamaguchi convinced him to go outside to eat and to be honest he didn't oppose so much resistance. When they arrived at the backyard they saw Hinata with Kageyama and their senpais opening the box that contained a lot of old clothes, toys and "Oh! What surprise!" an old volley ball. The day before, Tanaka senpai said that near his house had opened an orphanage and it seems to be reached the heart of the little "sweet" boy, so he carried with him his clothes to give them something useful, since he is so short and everybody tells him that he looks like an elementary school child, his clothes could be perfectly used by them. "Absurd".
On afternoon practice came a second chance to be nice, and furthermore, just in front of Kageyama, "oh! so sweet feeling". There were his teammates talking before Daichi senpai arrived to the gym. Hinata seemed worried so he went a little close to hear his complains.
–Why the long face Hinata? It doesn't suit you –Suga senpai asked to his cute kouhai.
–I think my score in today's test will be very low –answered the orange hair's boy.
–You boys need to study a little more –pointed Nishinoya at Kageyama too.
–Why me?! -growled Kageyama.
–You've been getting low scores too, right?!
–You're not the person to say that! Noya san –Tanaka laughed at him.
–Neither you to laugh at me Tanaka! –replied the shortest boy of the team.
–Maybe, we can study together for the next tests! Can't we?! Kageyama?! -screamed Hinata, and Kageyama couldn't hide the happiness those words had provoked in him, at least not from Kei.
–There's no point in study with someone who doesn't understand anything neither –containing himself from laughing at them Tsukishima jumped into the conversation. Aside from make Kageyama mad a little, there was an opportunity to approach to his little target –I can lend YOU my notes -said looking at Hinata and ignoring Olympically to Kageyama's huff –if you want to.
–It makes some sense –thought aloud Shouyou -Really? Can I borrow your notes?
–Yeah, I'll give you them tomorrow –then the glasses' boy turned around and went to do some serves under the astonished gaze of his colleagues, especially Hinata, Kageyama, and Yamaguchi who walked in silence behind him.
–You had never lent me your notes –Yamaguchi whispered, his voice was almost inaudible, so he thought Tsukki hadn't heard it.
–You're not stupid like them.
Yamaguchi smiled –you're right.
That night, while lying on his bed, preparing himself to sleep, he was remembering all that happened throughout the day, he had had a big progress in just one day, of course it was weird to the other members since he hadn't been nice with Hinata before that, but he was subtle at the same time to not raise suspicions. Now the second step from his plan had to compliment the first step and Tsukki already had the words he needed to start it.
Step 2: Spend time with Hinata.
