Quick recap: Mute and deaf Kenma and Shoyo: Shoyo and Kenma didn't go to the Nekoma vs Karasuno match due to Shoyo being sick and Kenma sleeping in: they go to the spring training camp with Fukurōdani Academy, Shinzen High, and Ubugawa High:  'this is when their signing' 

WARNING mention of symptoms of a panic attack

Third person POV:

Kenma was playing on his DS when he spotted a boy with fluffy orange hair looking lost and started hesitating to go and help him. Shoyo spotted the pudding haired guy and decided to ask him for directions, Shoyo texts in his phone notes for directions; 'Do you know how to get to Karasuno High School?'. Kenma gets suspicious on why the shorter male didn't try and talk to him when the red head can't tell that Kenma has cochlear implants because his hair covers his ears. The second year decided to brush it off as someone being to awkward to ask. Before Kenma could answer, Kuroo appears and taps his shoulder letting the pudding haired boy know that he found him and that it's time to leave. The setter waved goodbye as he walked away with Kuroo. Sugawara finds Shoyo and does the same and the sudden tension in the air breaks as the two newly founded friends part ways. The walk back to the gym with Sugawara and Shoyo was quiet, Their footsteps and chirping of birds being the only noise able to be heard. Kenma and Kuroo are having a similar situation. As Shoyo and Sugawara get to the gym everyone is already putting away all their stuff and getting ready to go home. Shoyo puts on his uniform and leaves to bike home. Kenma arrives at the gym they had their practice match at and grabs his stuff and leaves to the bus.

The next day (saturday):

It's 11:45 AM and Kenma starts stirring awake slowly, last night he stayed up till ungodly hours of the early morning thinking of the strange incounter with the human tangarine. As Kenma gets out of bed he heads down the hallway to take a shower. When Kenma finishes his morning routine it's 1 o'clock and the tired boy decides to play on his DS. After a short while (more like several hours) he decides to go back to sleep and await what his fate has in store for him tomorrow.

It's 9 o'clock AM and Shoyo fell out of bed, again, but this time he woke up instantly from the sensation of the cold floor hitting his back and gets ready for the day. He does his morning routine and plays with Natsu, his little sister, before deciding to go for a walk. The soft red head stops at the park for a bit before running home to help make supper. After supper, the shorter male decides to get some sleep to be replenished of his energy tomorrow.

Monday: At School:

It was a boring day at school for both boys as all they did was sheet work. After school, Shoyo ran towards the gym for practice with his team. Kenma on the other hand, slowly made his way to practice with his eys glued to his gaming consle. After both teams finished getting dressed into their sports atire their captains had an annoucment; they will be praticipating in the spring training camp with Fukurōdani Academy, Shinzen High, and Ubugawa High. Both teams were estatic at the news except a certain pudding head, his breathing started to get heavy and shortened, his body was shaking intensely and started sweating. Luckly Kuroo spotted the shorter male before it got to bad and escorted him back to the changeroom to calm down. Shoyo on the other hand was standing in shock, his eyes were wide and he looked similar to Casper the Ghost. No one noticed as they were to caught up in the recent news. This was both boys' first practice match with other schools as they only played 3v3 with their teams. 

Soon enough, the week of training camp came and both buses were full of mixed emotions and yelling. When Karasuno walks into the gym they spot Nekoma. the team members excluding Shoyo, walk towards the other team and start talking amongst each other. Shoyo goes to grab a volleyball and starts playing the wall. 

Switch to Daichi and Kuroos POVs: 

They start talking when Kuroo spots Shoyo practicing with the wall. He asks Daichi what Shoyo's doing and Daichi explains that Shoyo is deaf and mute and no one on his team knows sign language so he's always alone. Kuroo explains that they also have a deaf and mute player named Kenma whos getting the stuff off the bus.

Switch back to Shoyo and Kenmas POVs:

When all the teams arrived, the cats and crows went to go put their stuff away in their rooms. Excusing Shoyo and Kenma who made their way to the changeroom. Both under the impression that no one else was their, they proceded to change and get ready for the fist day of torture. As Shoyo went to wash his face he saw a familiar person standing by the sink next to him. Shoyo being the curious person he is decided to ask the taller boy his name. The second year replied signing his name 'Kenma Kozume' and also signed that he's deaf and mute, which intrigued the shorter male and pointed out he's also deaf and mute. 

During the match Kenma and Shoyo got deep into the game. Kenma was amazed that Shoyo can jump so high and signed to him when he landed Karasuno a point 'you're very talented Shoyo'. Everyone on both teams including their coaches and managers were amazed on both their skills and that they both found someone so similar they can relate to. They were also surprised that they knew each other seeing as they weren't seen together. 

After the match Karasuno won; winning 2 sets out of 3, Kenma and Kuroo started cleaning up when they found Shoyo practicing by himself. he seemed distracted by his thoughts and got hit in the face by the ball. Kenma decided to set for the red head seeming that its hard to practice spikes with only a wall. Kuroo is dumbfounded at the site since Kenma never interest in setting for  a n y o n e. Some Karasuno and Nekoma players started getting worried when they didn't see the shorter males at supper and started looking for the trio. when they arrived to the gym they were at they saw a site they never thought they would see; Kenma and Shoyo rolling on the ground laughing, covered in sweat. No ones ever heard either of them laugh or see them smile so they decided to stay quiet while they took in the heartwarming scene in front of them. 

They find Kuroo coming out of the changeroom with his bag over his shoulder and decided to ask Kuroo what happened between the new founded friends. Kuroo explained what happened and had to hold back tears of joy that his childhood friend finally found someone to relate to and someone who understood him. Once the duo calmed down the started heading back to the changeroom, Kenma signs asking Shoyo if he would like to come to Nekomas room before bed and play on his DS. Once the entered Nekomas room everyone stared at them wondering what got Kenma so interested in the shorter male. The guys who went to look for them earlier explained that Shoyo is deaf and mute too. they all felt a wave of sadness yet happiness and sympathy towards the two. 

The duo stayed up until midnight when Shoyo fell asleep on Kenmas shoulder. Kenma woke Kuroo up who was sleeping beside them and asked if Shoyo could stay in their room. He obviously said yes seeing that Kenma hasn't been this happy since they met. Daichi and Sugawara being the overprotective parents, started getting concerned seeing they haven't seen the orange haired middle blocker since the practice match so they decided to go looking for him. To their surprised he was found sleeping on a spare mat next to Nekomas setter. The surprised parents shared a smile and decided to leave a note saying that Shoyo could stay as long as he's at top performance during the upcoming practice matches tomorrow.
