someone must have suddenly hit the slow-motion because, for something that is usually so rapid, time was well,

taking its time.

it was like watching your favourite slapstick comedy and the villain of the show had just been punched by the heroic protagonist except it was not the villain being knocked out but in fact the one and only oikawa

everyone in the room watched as he effortlessly fell from grace to the dusty ground.

whether they were watching in awe or disgrace - it didn't matter because it was common knowledge that this was an unmissable sight.

it's odd how victory had been so near yet it was seized from you in an instant. guess you should never celebrate too early.

disgust morphed onto your bruised face as the tiny droplets of spit came into your view and gently placed itself onto your scruff cheeks, you only hoped it was the residue from where he was struck.

perhaps in better circumstances, you would have allowed yourself to laugh at the amusing sight in front of you, it wasn't every day you saw the all-mighty oikawa in this state of humiliation but the feeling of guilt suppressed any plans of blackmail that definitely did not appear in your head.

"Seems you've lost your touch senpai," the young boy mused with a lace of mockery as he looked down on the unconscious man

you could only assume that these guys had a history.

"that was so cool kageyama~"

a smaller boy with wild orange hair to match his eccentric personality had taken a place beside this 'kageyama' and was clearly amazed by his actions, the excitement in his voice was evidence enough.

you had to blink your eyes a few times to make sure that there weren't actually stars in his pool of honey eyes.

"idiot. this was nothing you're just too easily impressed"

from the condescending tone in his voice, you could tell that kageyama didn't quite reciprocate the view which the hyper boy had of him however he remained unfazed.

he's almost like the human embodiment of the annoying orange.

"(y/n)!"

from the other side of the room, kindaichi was frantically pointing to ceiling almost as if he was trying to tell you something...

if you were being perfectly honest you couldn't quite understand what he was trying to say, it's not as if you could use for anything, from the way that it was producing a shower of dust made it clear that it could fall any second now.

what an imbecile.

whilst your hands may have been freed a while ago, you still felt as constricted as you had been before. the other karasuno members had reformed their protective barrier around you making you feel as though you had been plunged into the ocean.

what the hell was he pointing at? he might as well have just lobbed a pebble at the opposing team if he was going to waste his time doing something so useless.

wait...

maybe throwing a stone wasn't the worst idea. on a whim, an idea had popped into your head but you had to admit that it was pretty ballsy but it was the best chance that you and your teammates currently had since no one seemed to be doing anything else.

the timing had to be perfect otherwise you were all screwed.

from the moment of impact to charging to the other side of the bunker would have to be completed with the utmost precision - if not then you would be the cause of your own and the ceiling's downfall which would shroud everyone with debris.

eyeing the ceiling, you tried to pinpoint its places of weakness. it was stronger than you thought as every part, despite it shedding dust every passing second, seemed to be fairly stable.

this was going to have to be one hefty rock.

the others must have thought your neck was having a spasm attack as you were wildly shifting your head up and down in the search for the two main components of your getaway plan. it would be a miracle if you managed to pull this off still there was no harm in trying.

actually, there was plentiful harm that came with failure but you were making an effort to push all the negative vibes away.

a few minutes had passed and hope was diminishing as you were yet to find at least one of the items. the rest of aoba johsai were entrapped by the arms of their opponent, pain etching into your heart as you watched them struggle. you grew more desperate, just anything would do. even a little pebble stone, you thought, would work.

however all there was on the soiled floor was specks of fine dust; the dim lighting did not do much to help either, it looked to be running out of fuel as it flickers indicated the end of the bulb's lifespan.

not that you thought it would be of much aid but you looked towards kindaichi once again, only to find him looking dazed.

now is really not the time.

his eyes were drawn upwards to the all too familiar ceiling however this time, something new had caught your eye. a frail-looking wooden beam ran all along the top and seemed to be upholding the roof. it was not one singular beam though, there were two beams which had been conjoined together to create the illusion of a single one.

it must have been a while since it had been made as the point of intersection was close to falling apart and at the slightest touch, it would give way.

this is was exactly what you needed.

now all you had to do was find something to throw-

then an epiphany struck, you realised that a rock itself did not need to be thrown but in fact, anything could be.

unlacing your trainers, you mentally said goodbye to them as you made peace with the reality that you would never see them again.

you closed one of your fatigued eyes to line up the shot with more accuracy, maybe your maths teacher was right to teach angles after all. you wished that all those years doing shot put in p.e would finally pay off as you launched the shoe with all your might.

upon contact, it seemed that nothing occurred as the shoe just seemed to descend straight down to the floor, landing just short of kindaichi's face. stares all-around came beaming onto you as if you were crazy, you didn't blame them. it did just look like that you threw a shoe for the sake of throwing a shoe.

all havoc then appeared to have broken loose.
