[Kageyama's lips twitched. He wasn't good with people. The only reason he was where he was was because the rest of his team were better with people. They'd helped him. Had the patience to teach him. Even now he had troubles, but if it wasn't for his teammates being willing to work with him and overlook a lot of his issues.
The fact he was good at what he did as a setter probably helped.
His head lifted then, gaze moving to the side to look at Oikawa.
No... he wasn't so egotistical that he believed he was the only one. But he could only talk about himself, not anyone else. It surprised him that Oikawa would have those feelings too. He was popular, wasn't he? How many girls hounded him wherever he went? He had friends, didn't he?
But then he went and said more. Kageyama's breath caught and held.
Was he afraid?
Yes. He was. This terrified him. Wanting something...]
Yeah. I am. But I want to. To be something more... even if it scares me.
[Because didn't that mean, even if, for some reason, volleyball stopped being something he could do. At least he would have something else in his life to keep him going? Someone else. He'd stop being nothing... and he'd be important to someone.]
