[Around and around in circles. Hinata listened better than this and understood quicker than this. How was it someone as smart as Oikawa couldn't figure it out? Why did he have to spell it out for him? That wasn't his job to do. Why was it down to him all of a sudden? What was this conversation even? Why was he still standing here arguing over something that was never ever going to change?
Kageyama knew he was beating a dead horse. Had thought that maybe he was over doing the same thing again and again and expecting a different result. His team had drilled that into him. Open your eyes. Adapt. Learn. Work with his team. Bend to their abilities to heighten his own.
But he wasn't doing that here. Because Oikawa's mind was already set. It was already stuck in the past that he couldn't see anything else before him. Kageyama shook his head and glanced away again. It was useless. So if it was useless then his words didn't matter. He could say what he wanted.]
... I a-admired you. You were amazing, I wanted to learn from you...
You never gave me that chance.
Simple.
[It was just that simple.
Sometimes Kageyama wondered just what would have happened if Oikawa had taken him under his wing. Where he would be right now. Just how good could they have gotten... if Oikawa had opened his eyes.]
