[Of course, Kuroo had insisted that Kenma be Social. He clearly thinks enough of Nagisa that he wants them to meet. Truly a puzzle. One Tsukki has no time for.
The tension is palpable from the first serve. Every player chompaing for their shot at the other side. Hinata battles Lev, a titanic clash of height verses timing. Tanaka and Yamamoto bellow. And through it all Kuroo grins like a madman. Stopping spike after spike.
Against these show-stoppers, It's easy for Kenma to fade to the background. And that's the danger. Forgetting he's watching. Until suddenly the ball is on the opposite side of where it should be. Or dropping dead in a feint. It's such small things, but left to his devices he can play Karasuno like a cat with a string.
Its Hinata who jumps into the trap. Kenma gently swatting the ball down instead of feeding it to Kuroo. Except Tsukki's there, diving under with inches to spare.]
"One touch!"
[The ball flies up to Daichi - Kageyama - Hinata again. Smacking it through so hard it booms like thunder. Getting an approving roar from the crowd.
There's actually a flicker of annoyance on Kenma's face. Good. That won't work every time, but good.]
