[Shadow Day] If a crow were to fly a light year

If Kageyama insisted on telling this story, he probably wouldn't be able to make out any clear context. It's like watching a very grand movie, and after a long time of speech, the first thing he recalls is always those few scattered scenes.

He has never been good at dealing with emotional issues. Tobio Kageyama's engine can run normally only by spinning a volleyball in his hand, but not everyone is like him.Turning back the time, there was no one around Yingshan for a long time, and no one stood there for a long time.At that time, no one taught him how to make friends. Regarding the papers of Beichuan No. [-] Volleyball Club, Kageyama could understand the questions, but he couldn’t always answer the best answers. When he finally found out that he was wrong, the bell rang and the paper was full of points. All cleared and recalculated.

When he was about to graduate from junior high school, the coach said to him, find a partner that suits you. Just one sentence made him depressed for a long time.It wasn’t until entering the Karasuno volleyball club that Kageyama really got to know all kinds of people: tall, short, strong, thin, good-tempered, bad-tempered, with a bouncing around in between. orange.This orange is as small as a citrus, but it is No. 1 in the emotion test.When facing Chengzi Hinata, he doesn’t have to think about how to express it, he just needs to let his emotions run freely—whether it’s onomatopoeia or gestures, no matter how abstract he expresses, the exact meaning will definitely fall to the other party’s. in mind.

At that time, he had just fallen from the throne, was denied by his teammates, rejected by Shiratorizawa, bumped his head with his head covered, and couldn't do a single handsome thing.Hinata Xiangyang who suddenly broke into the gymnasium, to Tobio Kageyama at that point, was the only rainstorm in the whole sweltering summer.

Not only is it suitable, teammate, companion, partner, friend, any role is just right.The pleasure of tacit cooperation is as terrifying as you long for it. Kageyama is deeply obsessed with the crisp sound of a volleyball dunk during a fast break, the itching pain of healing wounds, and the self-esteem that is competitive and consolidated. Some kind of irresistible gravity.

"Yingshan, look!" The young man held the little fish that had swam into his palm in front of Yingshan.

That day, Hinata made himself a crown with the wild dogtail grass growing by the water, and the sun above his head stepped barefoot in the sand, and his back to his cheeks were flushed by the sun.Before the fish-catching competition, they had a fierce water battle because of a trivial matter, which stirred up the whole shallows with sand, and their clothes and hair were soaked. "Are you two fools? Lobster has been scared away by you long ago!" Senior Xigu scolded them with his hips on his hips, but they were still not convinced, insisting on arguing whose fault was more serious.

"Damn it, bastard Kageyama, I'm going to catch seven or eight fish and stuff them into your underwear later." After putting down the harsh words, Hinata took off his soaked T-shirt and threw it on the stone, turned around and jumped into the water again, using his butt to With Shadow Mountain.

There was a strange coolness in the underpants, Kageyama rolled up his trouser legs, and silently stepped back a little.

But when the defenseless little fish really swam into Hinata's palm, the pride of being trusted by the little animal was enough to completely forget the biochemical attack mentioned above. "Ah, it hurts..." Hinata stepped on the uneven pebbles under the shoal, grinning and ran towards Kageyama quickly.A piece of water weed that was accidentally stepped on was stuck to his calf, and a small drop of water that Kageyama had splashed on him before was also embedded next to his navel, sparkling like tears.

"Look, look, it's so small!" The young man carefully handed out his hand, his eyes sparkling as he looked over.A ladybug sits on top of his grass crown, and the sodden, curly orange hair twitches wildly around it.

Kageyama was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly forgave the little animals for their partiality.

In fact, he had been simulating in his mind for a long time just now, if Hinata came over with a fish, he would rush up and hit Hinata's arm hard, striking down Hinata's biochemical weapon first.But this plan finally ended without a problem because of Hinata's generous sharing.Hinata was still waiting for his reaction, Kageyama let out a soft "Oh", squatted down and put his head together with Hinata to watch the ups and downs of the small gills, and held his breath to secretly glance at Hinata's shining excited expression.

...This guy is like a small animal.

"It's so small, can it be eaten? Will it grow into a fish that can be used as sashimi?" Hinata asked excitedly.

"Impossible. 'Let Hinata grow to be as tall as Lev', it's impossible to hear."

"It's so noisy, why is it impossible, why is your character so bad, will you die if you don't say that one sentence?... Hey, the fried fish made by my mother is very delicious...Why do you show that disgusting expression, really Super—delicious, next time you go to my house and try it, you’ll know.... Hey, Yingshan, water! The water is almost gone, add more water!"

Hyuga raised his hand noisily, and the stream water was more obviously leaking from his fingers.This guy's direct roll call suddenly made Yingshan feel a great sense of shared responsibility, he also became nervous, quickly scooped up a bucket of water and poured it on his head, then turned his head and shouted, Xigusang Xigusang, do you have a small bucket, a bottle is also fine, We caught a fish!

Those who used to call him other names, would they have thought that "King" Tobio Kageyama would be so spoiled one day that he would just say "we" casually?

Maybe when Sugawara said, "Although Kageyama is not used to high-fiving everyone, but bumping into Hinata is no problem", things have already derailed.But he has always been dull, and he has to knock a crack from the spoiled trust in order to really hear it.Eat something when you are hungry, run up because you want to jump, and want to approach because you are warm, it is such a simple thing.

So when they came out of Yadi's tutoring that day, the weather was very hot, dusk shrouded Miyagi, and he was very used to having people shoulder to shoulder, the moment the little man next to him inadvertently complained, "No one loves you", a sudden feeling popped up in Kageyama's heart. A voice that cannot be ignored and is taken for granted——

Why can't it be you.

……

Means unknown.

He didn't react at once, and he pinched Hinata's head in anger as usual, but was dodged nimbly by a short body.The guy found out that he didn't bring his notes after the fight with him, and he screamed in surprise, leaving him and turned back to look for Gudi.So all the noise stopped abruptly, and I was left standing alone in the orange red.Kageyama walked two more steps forward in a daze following his inertia, recalling the flash of thought just now, and suddenly stopped in his tracks.

What was that... just now?

No matter how you look at it, it is not the category that the word "teammate" can explain, but it appears too naturally, so I feel horrible out of a certain instinct.He shivered, and turned back to find Hinata, the guy had disappeared without a trace around the corner, as if their side by side just now was a delusion.

They had their first real, hands-on clash shortly after that over the rush game, and both were honorable.After returning home, Kageyama lay silent on the bed for a long time. Hinata's expression when he rushed to hug him was replayed in his mind repeatedly. The pressure of facing the pressure, as if everyone would naturally surrender and revolve around him.I used to think that "the whole world is best understood by Hinata", but now it seems that it may be too wrong to take it for granted.

For volleyball matters, you can get advice from your seniors and coaches, but what about other things?The subject of the test paper this time is Hinata Xiangyang. He was full of confidence, but in the end he couldn't even figure out the test questions.The skill of making the ball stop from the highest point can be learned with great effort, but every time I stand next to Hinata, I feel as comfortable as a rushing river in my mind, and I may be too tired to control it.

"I said, why does Kageyama have such a wrong expression recently, has his stomach hurt from eating?"

"Really, the facial paralysis is getting worse. Face Froze."

Sure enough, the keen seniors started to tease him.Kageyama shook his head and said no, but he was classified as "adolescent agitation", and concluded that his abnormality was due to the upcoming awakening of the Beichuan No. [-] handsome boy blood in his body.

"Hey, Hinata, this guy is going to leave you and volleyball to fall in love." Senior Tanaka yelled fearing that the world would not be chaotic.Hinata, who was adjusting the pad, frowned and looked up, saying, what, is it just this guy?

Kageyama immediately came alive positively, rushing to wrestle with Hinata. "What's 'just by'?" He twisted Hinata's face like a building block, and was kicked several times indiscriminately by the struggling little man.Hinata stared and said, you, you, you, you sweat and have a bad temper, you deserve no one to love you.Kageyama pinched his face, his veins twitching with anger, thinking, who in the volleyball team doesn't sweat every day?Even if I sweat a lot and have a bad temper, after the training, you will come over like a dog skin plaster and take the opportunity to slump on my back to drink water.

The two of them continued to toss until they were reprimanded by Senior Dadi, and they both played far away and threatened to kill each other, but when they went back to play, they forgot all the cruel words.They stayed together until the end of the day, the iron door slammed shut, Kageyama stood beside him sucking his last sip of milk, and Hinata, swinging the key, took a deep breath and jumped down the three flights of stairs, taking a few steps to reach the high The tree branch at the place, and then went to open the lock of the bicycle under the tree, very lively.

"Hey, Kageyama, are you really going to fall in love?" He asked suddenly.

Kageyama, who was trying to suck the last bit of milk, couldn't hear what he said, and asked "what".

"... Forget it, it's nothing." Hinata turned his head, put himself comfortably on the bicycle seat, and slid forward without a ride, "Compared to this, can't you be gentler to me usually, how should I say it?" Also a partner."

Tsk.Kageyama pursed his lips and sulked.Are you not gentle enough?Obviously it is No.1 on the discrimination list.Is the idiot able to escape from that unconsciousness only after asking Kunimi or Kindaichi?

In fact, the restlessness of adolescence that the seniors mentioned, Kageyama had seen it many times when Beichuan was number one.The well-dressed girls came to Oikawa-senpai, holding pink letters, chocolate or buttery biscuits in their hands.At that time, he didn't understand why Oikawa-senpai apologized for his liking. Senior Iwaizumi scolded Oikawa half-explained beside him, because most of the sudden good feelings were untrustworthy, and that guy was such a frivolous and ruthless bastard by nature.

Now that World War II Qingcheng is approaching, the accumulated pressure always reminds him from time to time when he was number one in Beichuan.I want to prove it to Oikawa, I want to prove it to Kunimi and Kaneda, the fear when no one cares about the pass, and the unwillingness to sit on the bench covered with a towel and cry, all want to cover it.Kageyama looked at the lock of hair curled up at the nape of Hinata's neck, and thought, if it really was some kind of "adolescent restlessness", he would probably die of annoyance because he didn't know how to deal with it.

The boredom was backlogged until a few days before the start of the game. Kageyama slipped to the gymnasium early after school, and found that Hinata had been silently practicing kicking the ball inside.He was taken aback, and sitting at the door while changing his shoes, he muttered, why are you so early?The sound of throwing the ball behind was a chaotic beat, and it stopped abruptly.

"Kageyama...you've been acting weird recently, are you under too much pressure?" Hinata sat down beside him holding the ball.

Kageyama lowered his head to adjust the laces of his volleyball shoes, and said in a muffled voice, it's nothing.

"Really?" Hinata tossed the ball in his hands, "But I've been thinking a lot recently. I'm thinking about what it would be like if I had participated in team training properly in junior high school. "

There's nothing to worry about.Kageyama answered without thinking.The serve may not be so bad, and the catch may not be so bad, but it is slightly better than the current level of garbage.

"Will you die if you don't hurt me?" Hinata raised his foot to step on Kageyama's shoes, but was pinched and choked. "It's going to be bald!" he screamed. "Look, it's always like this, even if I want to say something serious, we still fight."

"Then tell me, idiot." Kageyama stood up and tapped the toe of his shoe on the ground, knocking his foot into a comfortable position.

"How should I put it... I seem to be able to understand the so-and-so encounter that Takeda-sensei said before." Hinata said.

"so?"

"Ahhhhhhhhh...although I don't want to say it at all, but...just... some things are still..." Hinata squeezed the ball, his eyes fluttered, and he spit out the words one by one like squeezing toothpaste, with a look of unwillingness on his face. Acknowledged pain expression.

"Just... thank you, thank you."

"...Oh, oh." Kageyama was stunned by the sudden straight ball.

"So——" this guy took a deep breath, and suddenly raised his head to look straight at him, "I don't understand why you're so bored recently, after all, I didn't know anything about you being No. [-] in Beichuan before. But, no matter you No matter how bad my temper is, no matter how much sweat I sweat, I will continue to be your partner without hesitation. Whether it is His Royal Highness, Shiratorizawa, the whole country, the world, or any opponent you want to defeat, I will definitely be with you."

He raised his chin and lightly slammed his fist on Kageyama's shoulder.

"I'm here. You don't have to worry."

...It seems that this guy completely misunderstood the reason for his boredom. He strayed [-] miles from the question at the beginning, but finally he firmly stepped on the [-]-point answer.As I said a long time ago, for Tokio Kageyama who failed to pass the test, some people are born with the ability to score [-] points.The problem he has been worrying about for the whole summer, from being clueless to being clear, actually only needs a bump from Hinata.

Kageyama was at a loss for words for a long time under the sudden shock.

The light and shadow are balanced, the four seasons are equally divided, and at this moment, from dusk to the gymnasium to Hinata's hair is warm orange.Hinata is in the center, and he orbits, the cycle is adolescent restlessness, gravity is the perfect toss without apology—

And great love without apologies.
