"Hey! Shō-Chan! Kozume-Kun! Welcome back," Sugawara greeted when the two males stepped into Nekoma's main gym. He walked over from his spot in the box when Ukai nodded to him, and went to the panting male and the one that had too much energy. "I trust that Hinata is safe and sound?" The third year then asked, and Kenma could feel the mood change drastically in his aura. To everyone else from Nekoma, Suga was just asking a question as the Vice Captain of Karasuno, but to Kenma and the rest of Karasuno, it was almost scary. He made a mental note right then to never get on Suga's bad side, and for good reason to.

"Suga-Kaa, Look at my new shoes!" Hinata yelled, unknowingly distracting Sugawara from Kenma. The two males that just arrived really ran all the way from the shop to Nekoma. It was only a four minute run, but holy crap Hinata knew how to run, and Kenma needed the breather. Hinata didn't even look the slightest bit tired as he showed Sugawara his shoes, proud of his pick.

But Kenma Kozume thought he was going to die.

He also thought it was weird that Hinata used -Kaa at the end of calling out to the third year. Kenma knew it was mom, but he had no clue why the short middle blocker was calling Suga his mom. So he decided to find out. While Kenma was still catching his breath, the rest of Karasuno and Nekoma started to drop their volleyball's and walk over to see what the commotion was about, including the Coaches. "Hinata! You got shoes?" Ukai asked, and Hinata showed his new shoes to him after letting Suga take his turn.

"They look good,"

Hinata beamed. "And Kenma got shoes too! They look gwaaaaa! Awesome!" He excited, and Kuroo smirked when Kenma slightly blushed at the attention being turned towards him. "Oya? He did? Kenma?" The captain of Nekoma said, his smirk somehow even larger then it was seconds ago. "Yes..." The second year murmured. He knew exactly what Kuroo was thinking, but there was no way he would freely let the captain have the satisfaction of being right.

Kenma directed his attention away from Kuroo and moved his hands around to open his bag where he put the shoes. He took them out, then showed them. He knew what they were going to say, it was only a matter of time before someone blurted it out.

"Don't those look like Hinata-Kun's?" It was Lev, and if Kenma was more extroverted, he might have said that he knew it was coming out loud. But Hinata wasn't upset for his friend getting them, he was even more pumped because they were the same pair (save for the laces), and that was what really mattered. Kenma wanted the attention off him like how badly a child wants a new toy, so he changed the subject. "Shōyo, why did you call Suga-Senpai -Kaa?" Kenma managed to say, and Hinata smiled even greater, if possible. He was about to answer when he was interrupted by his upperclassmen.

"It's because Suga is like the mom of the team! Like Yaku-Kun with Lev," Nishinoya explained, looking like the proud second year he was, standing with Tanaka. They stifled a laugh when a shade of red found itself a spot on Lev's face, with him looking down, completely at a loss for words. Noya just dissed him with so much spunk he didn't know what to say.

Yaku on the other hand just burst out laughing with Inuoka and Shibayama, not being able to calm down. "He's... H-He's right! Y-You're... worse to handle than yamaMoTO!" He choked out, and poor Yamamoto looked around in confusion, not knowing weather to take it as a compliment or insult. "Alright! Now that Nekoma's setter and Hinata are back let's get to work!" Ukai said, and everyone murmured an agreement, after Yaku and the first years calmed themselves.

"Hinata! Kozume! Go suit up, then get your asses back here!"

"Yes sir!"
"Sir...."
