It’s Kageyama who dives forward to catch him when Shouyou’s foot snaps with a horrifying sound right after he’s spiked their winning point. The whole team moves like a storm when he cries in pain, because it hurts so, so bad – but it’s Kageyama who slams himself on the ground, careless, catching Shouyou and pressing him against his chest so he doesn’t fall right onto his face. He’s the one who pets his hair and whispers dumb, sweet things while the doctor x-rays his foot, and not even Tsukishima says something when Kageyama starts to carry him around school whenever Shouyou gets frustrated with his crutches.
It’s always Kageyama, Shouyou thinks and buries his nose in Kageyama’s hair when he lifts him up after practice to bring him to his mom’s car in front of the gym. He’s the only boy in the world who’s cute when he blushes, and he’s the only boy or girl that Shouyou kisses on the cheek before slamming the car door shut, shyness suddenly overwhelming him so he buries his face in both hands.
Kageyama keeps on carrying him, wordless, and when Shouyou’s foot is healed, he finally returns the kiss and presses his soft, warm mouth against Shouyou’s.
