*grabs the back of Ushijima’s jersey and looks up at him with puppy dog eyes* Can you please teach me how to play volleyball?

*The tall ace, turns around, a perplexed look on his face until he sees
its you*.
“You know I won’t go easy on you, right?”

*Tendou sighs, slinging an arm around his best
friend’s shoulders*.
“Wakatoshi, when
are you gonna learn to not be so serious about everything?” *Looks at you and smiles though it’s more
nerve wracking than comforting*
“_____-chan is a novice, you have to be
gentle.”

*Ushijima looks at you again, nods once and takes your hand leading you to
the bench*
“Sit here and watch our practice for now. I’ll work with you one
on one later.”

*He makes good on his word and is surprisingly a good teacher if a bit
blunt in his criticism*. “
Your form is terrible, bend your knees and put
your arms like this.”

*But it just makes getting his praise all the
sweeter because you know he doesn’t waste his breath with lying*.
“You did
well today, ____-chan, I’m really proud of you for working so hard.”
