Normal Pov.

Arisu and Kageyama went outside the of convenient store with snacks in hand, they started to walk while munching the meat buns Kageyama bought for them.

What's Kageyama-kun planning now?

Arisu bit a piece of meat bun as she found it very delicious, and neatly cooked, internal and external.

"Continue what your saying earlier" Kageyama said, while they walked on the grass, near the store they went in earlier.

Arisu was slightly confused, but she finally understood what he's saying, she took a deep breathe before starting.

"The two of them really get along, do they? I don't know but when I see them I get so irritated" She said, looking down on the ground while holding her meat buns.

"Why are you irritated anyways?" He asked, as he turned to Arisu.

"I'm not really sure why myself"She said as her eyes somehow glittered in sadness.

Kageyama hmm-ed, as he just stayed quiet and became Arisu's ears, hearing out her problems.

"You know, this part hurts when I saw them happily together" Arisu said as she held her chest with her palm while she closed her eyes.

"Hey Kisaragi, I've wanted to ask but...do you like Hinata?" He asked which made her blushed bright red.

"N-No, I don't like him! Well...I do like him, in a friendly way" She said hurriedly while waving her hand abruptly.

"I see" Was what Kageyama said, not knowing what to advice to her problems.

They stopped for a moment while standing on the bridge, beneath them is a riverbank.

"How about you, Kageyama-kun? Let me hear some of your worries" Arisu said as she smiled at him.

"I don't have anything that I worry about...except our defeat against Aobojosai" Kageyama told her, as he was still guilty of the defeat in game.

"You guys were utterly defeated then, but...it's not because you loss once means it's the end of the world, you just have to get them back" Arisu said what's on her mind, hoping she could help him in little ways she can.

"Yeah, your right" He said, while he also stared at the river flowing beneath.

Silence engulfed the tiny spaces between them, thinking there own problems.

"I came from a strict environment, you see, it's nerve wreaking there, and your not suppose to disobey anyone" She said, with some sadness in her eyes.

"I heard from Hinata your from America, is that true?" He asked as she nodded in reply.

"My father is always busy with work, but I never felt lonely because my mom is always kind to me" Arisu said as there were pink tinted in her cheeks.

"So hows your mom?" He asked.

"She's not here anymore" She spoke with a hint of sadness in her tone.

"Oh, sorry...I didn't knew" He said.

"It's fine...I'm over it" She said softly as she held her hands together.

Silence filled them once more, as none of them dared to speak a word.

A loud slap pierced the air as Kageyama looked at the girl next to him who slapped her cheeks and was now bright red.

"Thinking like this will make me miserable...I shouldn't feel homesick now" She said to herself.

"Kisaragi, are you--" He was cut of by her when she turned to him.

"I'm alright...in times like this, I shouldn't feel discourage, I should just let it all go" She said.

"How?" Kageyama asked.

There was a silence before she spoke, a smile curved her lips as she knew a way to cure her discouragement.

"Like this" She started while she stepped on the rails of the bridge which made Kageyama's eyes widened.

"Don't tell me--" He was once more cut off when she jumped in the air happily.

"Throw my worries and enjoy life while I'm young" She said as she fell in the river, which made Kageyama shock and held on the rails.

"Kisaragi!" He yelled, suddenly she appeared from the water as her clothes and hair were soak.

Even if she was soak, she was still beautiful--especially with a smile on her face and a laughter accompanied with.

"I've always wanted to try that--it feels so good!" She said while laughing happily.

Kageyama stood there in disbelief as he knew how reckless she was, jumping in the river like an idiot.

"I wanted my worries to disappear from my head--even just a moment, so I did this, how stupid, isn't it?" She said to Kageyama while laughing.

Everything you say and do, it all sparkles brightly.

It is too blinding for me so I end up closing my eyes,

but I can't help aspiring to be like you.

He stared at her as she was so reckless and carefree, she is more troublesome compared to Hinata...this time though.

•••
"He is called as the King of the Court, because he is a genius when it comes to volleyball"

"Yeah, nobody in his team spiked the ball during the last tournament, they say"

"He just wants everything to himself, doesn't he? What a selfish brat"
•••

Until now, those kind of rumors that are spread by many people about him still is fresh in his mind as if it occur yesterday.

He didn't wanted to be called The King of the Court, or anything that is related to the term: King. He despised it so much.

Right now, he wanted to become like Arisu, who blew away her problems by just jumping in the river and soaked herself.

He personally think it was foolish and stupid, but...it was surprisingly warm.

That's when he decided himself, to take off the crown and cape that he is forced to wear--even his throne.

He cast it all away as he stepped on the rails and jumped in the river.

"I...I also want to my worries to disappear, even for just a moment"
He admitted as he fell in the river, soaked.

Arisu was shocked herself, not expecting the almighty Kageyama Tobio, her ultimate crush, to jump in the river like she did.

He went out of the water as he was still floating in, he turned to Arisu with a smile on his face and he was laughing heartily.

"Your right--it really does feels good" He said while laughing.

Right now, he isn't the silent, cocky, and eccentric Kageyama...

He was now the reckless, gentle, and out going Kageyama who has a smile on his face that everyone finds creepy as if he was thinking something bad.

"Everybody says that I'm strong and force their confidence in me which only made me feel uneasy" He said as a hint of sadness was written in his eyes

Arisu only looked at him and hear out what he was going to say.

"I just didn't liked it in one bit, it made me disgust in fact as I remembered what happen back then" He honestly admitted as he trailed his hair through his hair.

"They must thought something bad about you that forced made them abandon you, I don't know the Kageyama-kun back then...but I do know the Kageyama-kun now, his just a kind person" She said and flashed him a smile.

"Kisaragi-san" Kageyama said as she said something good about him.

Arisu sneezed as the coldness crept in her skin, Kageyama took notice this and started swimming to the land.

"My house is near this place, if you would like you can stay there and dry yourself" He offered to her.

K-Kageyama-kun's house?! I'm going to his house...?

Arisu thought as her cheeks turned red from that thought alone yet she nodded her head while blushing.

Kageyama didn't noticed her blush but understand she wanted to come, they reached the land while they were soaked.

"How was that, Kageyama-kun? Fun isn't it?" Arisu asked with a grin on her face while looking up to Kageyama.

"Well...can't say that I didn't enjoyed it, so yeah" Kageyama said while his cheeks were tinted red.

"Your blushing, how adorable!" Arisu teased him while laughing.

"S-Shut up, idiot Arisu!" He yelled.

Arisu was shocked when he called her by her first name, he usually calls her by her last name.

"You just call me by my first name" She inquired him.

"O-Oh, sorry about that Kisaragi" He apologised as he wasn't respecting her and calling her abruptly.

"You can call me by my first name if you want" She said.

"Well...you can also call me by first name, that's if you want" He said while averting his gaze from her, blushing.

How cute! His like a Tsundere!

Arisu thought as a smile crept in her lips while she was looking at him.

"Yes, Tobio-kun" She said.

•<>•<>•<>•<>•<>•<>•<>•<>•<>•

~•❤️•~

They've reached his house after walking for awhile.

Right now, Arisu was in the shower, soaking herself with water from the faucet above.

She closed the knob as the water stopped leaking out, then she grabbed the soap near her, then she realised something.

I-I'm going to use...Tobio-kun's soap!

She thought, then she just shrugged it and slid it on her skin, scrubbing her arms as soap formed.

His soap has nice aroma!

After showering, she heard Kageyama's voice outside as she flinched.

"I left some of my clothes there, wear it while I put your clothes in the laundry" He yelled from the closed door as he started running to do his job to tend his visitor.

Arisu walked out of the shower and found Kageyama's clothes, it was big.

N-Now I'm going to wear his clothes too? God is really nice to me!

She put on his clothes to find it really big for her, his shorts reached her knees as his shirt reached her legs.

His clothes are too big for me...

She walked out of the bathroom as she saw Kageyama putting her clothes in the laundry machine.

He's really...nice, isn't he?

"That will do the trick--it will be like that for awhile, Arisu" He said.

"Alright...I'm sorry for the bother, Tobio-kun" She apologised while scratching the back of her hair.

"Don't think much about it, I don't really mind" He said.

He walked towards her out of the room, as he glanced to his clothes worn by her.

"I knew it that my clothes are too big for you" He said.

"Yeah, I was surprised" She said.

"So...what do you want to do while waiting for your clothes to dry?"
He asked while he rubbed the back of his neck.

"How about watch TV?"
She suggested as he nodded.

<>•<>•<>•<>•<>•<>•<>•<>•<>

They turned on the TV as the anime called Shigatsu wa kimi no uso was showing, the final episode, Kaori's letter to Kousei.

Arisu cried anime style which made Kageyama sweat dropped by her reaction.

"Why does the good characters always dies at the end of the show?! Angel Beats, Plastic Memories, and Guilty Crown are like this show...why can't the leading male and female end up together?" Arisu cried, which irritated Kageyama that she was so dramatic.

"Relax. It's just a show, there's no reason for you to cry...it's only made of fiction" Kageyama stated the facts.

"I know but...I can't help but cry at the tearjerking and heart wrenching anime novels!" Arisu said.

"Then I'll switch the channel"
He said as he turned to the channel were volleyball male teams compete to each other.

This show made him excited and happy as he carefully observe their way to spike and toss the ball.

Volleyball is always in his head--you can say that volleyball is his one and true love.

"Why did you change the channel?"
She asked, not pleased.

"You said your going to cry, so I did the favour and switch the channel"
He nonchalantly said.

"Switch it back!" She demanded while pouting.

"Heck no" He said.

"Please? I want to watch Anime!" She plead.

"I won't change the channel, give it up" He said and sighed.

"Stingy~!" She said.

She tried to steal the remote but she can't...Kageyama blocks her way to reach it.

"Give it to me!" Arisu demanded.

"I don't want to!" Kageyama growl.

"Please, Tobio-kun~!" Arisu plead.

"No" Kageyama sternly said.

They heard a click to the washroom as Kageyama stood up and turned off the TV and walked to the room.

He took her clothes as it was clean and dry, then he handed it to Arisu.

"Here, change into this and go home, it's getting dark" He said as she nodded in reply.

She went to the comfort room and change into her uniform, she folded Kageyama's clothes that he lend to her.

After changing, she went out of the restroom and hand him his clothes.

"Thank you, Tobio-kun" She said with a smile on her face.

He nodded as he grabbed his clothes from her hand with a small smile on his face.

They walk downstairs while having a light random conversation, he opened the door and let her walk out.

"Want me to walk you home?"
He offered.

"I'm delightened, but my house is nearby...I can walk alone" She said.

"Beware of bastards around the place, they are lots of them" He warned her as she nodded.

"Goodbye, Tobio-kun" She said.

"Yeah, goodbye" He replied.

Arisu started walking ahead but stopped when Kageyama spoke.

"Hey Arisu" He started.

"What is it, Tobio-kun?" She asked while turning to face him.

"Do you know what's the worst part of being strong? It is nobody asked you if you were okay"
