Staring as aggressively as a 162 cm shota nerd can stare.

Now, he isn’t one to jump to conclusions yes he is, and he would really hate to judge someone unfairly but considering there was only one person in the vicinity, this ducky tucking culprit can only have been one person. But said person just so happened to be one Hinata was terrified of. What was a man to do other than stare and growl unsatisfied at the course of events?

Okay, he hadn’t really meant for it to hit anyone, but now that it did…

He tried to make it look like he hadn’t done it. One hand in his pocket, the other holding all the stress balls, the young man looked around. any- where but directly at the slightly-familiar shorter boy.

Tfw you’re suddenly hit in the head with a rubber ducky.

Your welcome package contains 11 and a half stress balls, one rubber ducky, and an onion ring.

He ate the onion ring, chucked the goddamn rubber ducky as far as he possibly could, not caring if it actually hit anyone, and he just. stared at all the goddamn stress balls.

Alright, volleyball nerd here needs threads, so like this post for a starter. I’m going to be capping at 3, but cast mates can just disregard this cap.

Cue excited Kenma-has-arrived noises

You better watch out, he has oyster crackers and he’s not afraid to use them! Get down here so he can stuff your mouth full of them.

that half eaten banana is going to be aimed at your face if you’re not careful, shrimp. he doesn’t care where it goes, trash can or an orange’s mouth, what’s the difference.

Suddenly he isn’t as dissatisfied with his own welcoming present anymore when fellow volleyball nerd Tsukishima got a half-eaten banana.

What do they say? A shitty present for a shithead?

puke green sweatpants,

“That’s... Kind of gross.” At least no one will notice when he’s feeling motion sick like that.

A sudden snow storm sweeps over Bunkyo, blanketing the ground with snow. How will you spend your day?

"I'll find someone who wanna play with me and then I'm gonna play snowball matches with them all day and build snowmans and show them my super fast snowball that goes like FUWAAAAH and SWISSSH through the air!!! Else I'm just gonna get Kageyama to do it. Or Tsukishima! I wanna dump snow on that Tsukishima bastard...!"

... Crap...

Sudden realisation hit the small decoy upon taking a glance at the calendar, a thing he had neglected ever since break started since there wasn't really any need to. On there was a specific event carefully noted down exactly so he wouldn't forget it.

December 22 -- Kageyama's bday

"... Kageyama's gonna kill me..."

Hello guys, sorry about the inactivity, my motivation to do anything has been horribly unstable lately. I'll be getting back to RPing in one of the next few days on all of my muses - Hinata, Konoha and Owain - but right now I'm ill and barely have the energy to do anything so I'll probably only be up for small RPs. That aside welcome to all the new people!

"Geh--" There it was: obnoxious angry Kageyama with his obnoxious angry points of logic that Hinata couldn't retort to no matter how much he wanted. But come on, everyone knew that Tokyo Tower had to be somewhere in Tokyo! As long as they had that much information it was only a matter of time and patience, right?! "Even if I don't, I'll still find it! I'll find it before you do for sure!!"

Kageyama just looked at the decoy, his previous smirk wiped off his face to be replaced with annoyance. “…Of course it is in Tokyo! I mean where in Tokyo!” Well, ‘Tokyo’ was about a good of an answer as the setter could give as well. “If you don’t know, just admit that you don’t.” Which, of course in Kageyama’s mind would mean that he won.

If this... girl or whatever she was wanted to make a good first impression, she certainly wasn't doing a good job at it. As much as he found it fascinating that a person could really be inside of his phone - he wasn't near smart enough to even start considering artificial intelligence or a type of highly developed programme - the way she was talking to him was greatly annoying him. He did not particularly being either mocked or mimicked and this blue haired girl was doing both at once. "I... I guess you're talking to me yeah," he admitted, still highly confused as to how it worked as he had never tried talking to someone in such a way. Did this mean that he was also a tiny figure on the other person's screen?! "This is kinda cool!"

The smile that had appeared on his face vanished quickly however as the decoy realised that he had probably been insulted yet again. "Hey! There's nothing wrong with my head!" he argued even though she had already dropped the matter; Hinata wasn't exactly good at just ignoring people who were talking down to him. Well, he at least assumed there was nothing wrong with his head, but admittedly he had taken quite a few serious falls through his years of playing volleyball, so it probably couldn't be entirely assured... "You-you're even smaller than me!" It was silly to argue with a person on a phone display, especially regarding their height, but that thought never even occurred to him. "Beside I'm in high school...! I'm just... a bit... ... short..." The last bit was added with a groan for every word and it was very clear that he didn't want to admit it but had to. But even if she was taunting him Hinata didn't exactly hold her in spite, so it didn't take long before his expression lit up again when she mentioned the festival he had taken interest in himself.

"Eeeh, so you wanna go too?! Sure! Let's go together! I'm sure it's gonna be lots of fun!" Of course it was also a bonus that she would actually be calling him by his name instead of just 'kid', but Hinata honestly had nothing against going with her. It was better than the two idiots he practised volleyball with at least. "Let's go, ehm---- eh... Who are you?"

Ugh, no matter what he said Tsukishima would find some way to take a poke at him. This was even more horrible than just having to spend time with him occasionally during training - was this the torture he was going to be living with until graduation? Hinata was starting to feel sorry for Yamaguchi for having to stay together with this guy for god knows how many years they had been together. While Yamaguchi also had his moments of being annoying, Hinata quite liked him, and he would definitely have preferred the company of the freckled boy rather than his blonde companion.

Yet again he couldn't even retort. The orange head knew that as a player he still had so much left to learn before he could call himself an amazing player, but he would still fight for it to the bitter end. And no way in hell was he going to let Tsukishima get an advantage over him, even more so since they were playing the same position.

"I know I'm small and... kinda lousy..." he admitted although the latter bit was said in a low murmur because he hated to admit it himself. "But..." He had a promise. A vow with the person he had thought to be an overwhelming and almost unbeatable rival but had somehow turned out to become an ally that he respected and trusted in. "Kageyama promised. As long as he's tossing I'm not gonna lose." It wasn't entirely true and he already knew that; even with Kageyama's tosses they had still lost to Seijou, they had lost to Nekoma, to Fukurodani, heck, the whole training camp in Tokyo had been nothing but a huge losing streak. But that was exactly why they had to become better and evolve. The both of them. All of them.

Of course he wasn't going to be let go just so easily: Tsukishima was already ready with the next snide remark, having absolutely no mercy on the small teen. Hinata however was for a moment just relieved that the other hadn't heard his inner musings because getting such a word wrong was going to be so embarrassing. He would rather not give Tsukishima more material to work with than necessary. "'course I can! I'm not that stupid!" he retorted irritatedly. If only it wasn't so hard to just back down and walk away when someone was being purposely annoying.

What was your muse's wish for Tanabata? What other wishes were they considering making?

Making a wish for tanabata had been a very hard task for the small sportsman; he had a lot of things that he wished for either for practical reasons or because of his desires. 'I wanna be two metres tall!' was one that he had very much considered, but at the same time it had quickly been shot down again. Hinata was not exactly what one would call an astounding player and so it wouldn't give him much merit even if he did grow so much in such a short time. Plus the satisfaction he got from overwhelming much taller and stronger enemies despite his short frame was quite addictive.

'I hope Tsukishima's gonna turn into a frog' was also a very tempting one, but alas. While he had very huge issues with his team mate's personality, Hinata would never deny the other's worth as an ally. So that whole frog business had been a no-go as well.

"I want an Olympic gold," he declared his eventual wish with no hesitation at all. It was almost outrageous to expect so much of himself and not even have a moment of doubt towards it either, but Hinata was very steadfast on this one. He played to win. And he was going to keep on winning until he had emerged victorious from every single court. That was all there was to it. He knew that he couldn't rely on wishful praying to the gods, and he didn't expect it to come falling down from the sky just like that; Hinata knew very well that for this particular wish all he could rely on was his own body and the training he exposed it to, because that was everything he needed. He wasn't going to rely on any gods above: Hinata Shouyou was going to make sure that his wish came true with his own strength.

With every single word the tall blonde uttered Hinata only got more and more annoyed. That obnoxious personality of his hadn't changed in the least, and unlike Tsukishima's sugar-coated smirk, the decoy's expression was one that very clearly showed how displeased he was with the situation. There was no denying that his team mate was a fantastic asset to have on the court, but as a person he was rotten to the core and Hinata always preferred to have as little to do with him as possible.

So why had it ended up like this? Why did he have to live with that guy? If there was any good in the world it would have prevented a situation like this from happening. But no matter how much he wished for it, it didn't change in the slightest, and Hinata groaned at the prospect of his upcoming school life. Well, as long as he had volleyball to keep himself occupied with he'd survive. Probably.

"Ugh... Of course I didn't think that...!" Well, maybe a bit. But Tsukishima had an annoyingly good point, because it was clear to anyone that neither of the two wished for this to have happened. There was no way the other would have willingly initiated it.

It was even more irritating that he couldn't even speak back to Tsukishima's insults, because the other was right. It was no secret that Hinata wasn't exactly what one might consider the sharpest kid around here and there was absolutely no way he would be able to make it through ordinary means, but that bastard didn't have to put it so bluntly. "I know I'm not as smart as you, but I still have a brain, idiot." He was pretty sure about that at least... "I'm here on a sports... sportsman..." Sportsmanboat? Ah no, wait. "Sportsmanship!"
