Kageyama nods. It’s logical. And he knows Kenma wouldn’t be here just
because. Still, the thought had lingered for a long time all the same.
“Mm…” Kageyama’s brow furrows. “I didn’t have anyone outside of my grandpa
and sister for most of the time,” he says. He’d never really made friends
with teammates but his relationships hadn’t always been awful either. “But
then he died and my team didn’t want me around.”
“Before that, I tried making friends with an older setter but he hated me
and I don’t know I guess he thought I was trying to be better than him— I
just wanted to learn from him.” Oikawa had always been amazing. Kageyama
had started by looking up to him before wanting to be better than him.
“I didn’t have … friends until Hinata. People don’t come to me.”
In the end it just comes down to, not wanting to lose the little
connections he has still.
"mmmh-" There's... not a lot that he can say to that, only bob his head and listen. An older setter. That does narrow it down.
"I didn't... really know you before you and Shoyo joined the same team. So... I can't really say." There are rumours, of course, but Kenma's also in the year group up and doesn't care that much about any of the gossip going around. Nor does he put much stock in it.
"Shoyo is just... really good at making friends. But. I don't think asking someone out would ruin it..." He shrugs, It's worked fine for him so far. "You could ask if he just wants to try it... Like a trial run."
