Most paparazzi keep away from Kei. Hitachiin Legal loves a restraining order, and that’s enough for a semi-normal life.

But public games are public, and Kei spots at least three in the stands. Nondescript hair, clothes, faces. So plain they scream among the colorful crowd. One even has the nerve to smile, when he catches Kei’s glare.

Ugh.

Never mind.

Exhaling, he shuts them out. Settling into the tempo of his team. The rhythm and flow of defense, rising to a higher crescendo each time. It feels good. Kei's spent four years building with Todai, and they're contenders for Nationals. Maybe even favorites.

This is what matters.

Not the paparazzi with their gossip and grins.

Kaoru considers these two options. "Hokkaido's pretty far, and cold, but Sendai's right near your family. I mean, we never really talked about you moving back there, but it's not impossible. Tohoku University has an amazing natural history museum, too."

Is Kaoru trying to convince him to play? He isn't even really sure. More like, he's trying to coax Kei into being honest with himself. If all Kei is focused on are the things in his way, he'll never consider the offer for all its potential benefits.

"And you never know, maybe a Tokyo team will scout you, and then you won't even have to move."

Kaoru makes a sympathetic noise and reaches across the table to pat Kei's hair. "I'm just saying, it shouldn't have been a surprise. You underestimate yourself and how other people see you. You deserve this attention, because you're incredible."

Then he leans back and picks his fork up again, though he doesn't immediately eat. "But just because you're good enough, doesn't mean you have to go for it. You can turn them down if you don't want to keep playing."

Hinata doesn't immediately answer Tsukishima's text, because he's in the shower when his phone chimes with it. It isn't for another twenty minutes that he emerges, squeaky clean and rosy cheeked, and absently checks his phone to see if he's missed anything.

I know who you are duh!!
Whats wrong?

Careful or youll make your rich bf jealous

Oh that stuff is fine!
Mostly they just want you to sign stuff and talk to them after games
Which sucks sometimes when you lose and you wanna be alone I guess
But they're pretty respectful
And when they're not the team managers deal with it!

Ohhhhh
I guess that would really suck if they came to games and hounded you
But they'd probably get bored of you pretty quickly right?
They can't stay interested forever if you're just playing
