“Remember, we are blood.
Never stop flowing, keep moving, keep bringing in oxygen, so our brain can
operate at his best,” Kuroo declares.“I want to go home,”
Kenma says.“Kenma, don’t be like
that,” Kuroo says. “How great is it that we get to play against Seijoh? This is
a once in a lifetime chance to prove our superiority.”“I didn’t even want to
do this to begin with,” Kenma says. “And I definitely don’t want to make this a
competition.”“Too late, it’s definitely
a competition!” Yamamoto crows. “We’re going to kick their butts so hard
they’re going to feel it all the way back to Miyagi.”“I really, really don’t
want to do this,” Kenma says.“Come on, Kenma. I
thought you’d like laser tag. You get to shoot things just like in a
video game!”Kenma glares at his
boyfriend. “It’s like you don’t know me at all.”*
“As always, I have faith
in you,” Oikawa says, with his standard smile that in most situations is very
inspiring.“I’m not entirely sure
what the point of this is,” Hanamaki says.“The point is to prove
that we’re the best. We are the best, aren’t we?” Oikawa replies. “You
don’t want to let those boys from Tokyo think we don’t know how to play laser
tag, do you?”“Heck no!” Kindaichi
bursts out, “We’ll show those city boys who’s boss!”“Why are you like this?”
Iwaizumi asks.“I have no idea what
you’re talking about, Iwa-chan,” Oikawa replies.*
“Rules are simple,”
Kuroo says. “Kill everyone. First team to lose all their members, loses the
game. Got it?”“Wouldn’t have it any
other way,” Oikawa says during the handshake.*
The problem, really,
that all the boys rapidly discover is that while they are all probably some of
the best high school volleyball players in Japan at the moment, none of them
are particularly good at laser tag.*
“You shot me, you
idiot!” Inouka howls.“Sorry, Inouka!” Lev
shouts, as he gleefully continues firing in every direction. Fukunaga and Kai
both leap to the ground to dodge his rapid, aimless firing.“God, quit it,” Yaku
takes aim and fires.“Hey, you shot me!” Lev
pouts.“It was for the good of
the team,” Yaku says.*
“How is it that we’ve
been playing for twenty minutes and we haven’t managed to land a single shot,
but they’ve taken four of our guys out?” Iwaizumi asks.“That Russian kid took a
lot of us out when he went on a spree,” Watari says.“How is our aim so bad?”
Oikawa says, outraged.“This is our first
time,” Watari points out.“We should still be
better than this!” Oikawa says.“Well, we might not be
shooting them, but at least they’re shooting each other,” Yahaba says.*
“Kenma, you can’t just
sit here the entire time,” Kuroo says exasperatedly.“Hm. Yeah. Pretty sure I
can,” Kenma says. He’s hiding behind a barrel with his laser gun off to the side,
concentrating on his handheld game. “You could always shoot me. That would save
some time.”“I’m not going to shoot
you.”“It seems to be the
Nekoma way,” Kenma says.“Lev had it coming. Kai
was an accident. You could at least help us strategize.”“I am strategizing,” Kenma
says, not looking up from his game. “I’m strategically sitting right here.”*
“That’s it,” Kyoutani
says, “I’m Die Harding this. If I go down, I’m taking them with me.”“That’s not what happens
in Die Hard,” Yahaba says.Kyoutani jumps over a
barrel and charges, firing everywhere.*
“Tch,” Kuroo says. He
takes some small comfort in the fact that sure, Nekoma lost, but at least it
was mostly by their own hand. He’s glad Oikawa can’t brag to the other volleyball captains
over this as a victory. (He’s pretty sure this game is not something anyone is
going to brag about). “Guess this is your win.”“But of course!” Oikawa
says.“You were shot, you
don’t get to gloat—” Iwaizumi says.“Sh, Iwa-chan!”
“Hey, where’s
Kenma-san?” Lev asks.A sudden burst of
zapping comes out of nowhere, taking the last of the Aoba Jousai team out with
distinct precision that no one had previously displayed in this game.Kenma emerges from his
hiding spot. “Can we go home now?”A/N: Thanks, anon-friend! I
am sorry for how long this took. Also, I really know nothing about laser tag.
Hope you enjoyed anyway!!
