Hey, this is the inbox of Kozume Kenma! I'm probably not here!
Leave a message and I'll text back when I cat. Probably pretty quickly.

One whole apple pie... between the two of them. For anyone normal this would be a problem, but honestly? Kenma can work with that. It might be the only food he goes out of his way to eat.

The knock is quickly answered, door sliding open to reveal that cozy almost cottage-like interior. His head peeks around the corner, stepping aside to let Tobio in and gesturing.

"Ah... thanks for coming." Awkward as ever, right?

[assumptions]

Well, to be honest, the apple pie had been intended just for Kenma but if he wants to share that’s okay. He really just was trying his best to seem friendly. When the door opens he tries to smile but it’s more or less a very awkward expression as usual.

“Uh…thanks for letting me,” Kageyama responds, at least they can both be awkward together or whatever.

“I brought you a pie.”

[anxiouscat]

"Mmmh- thanks... We can have it soon if it's still warm."

Hanging out awkwardly with a bit of sideglance, and he eventually recovers to step along to the living room. A familiar kotatsu to set things on, and the TV already set up with one of the consoles.

[assumptions]

"I got it for you," Kageyama says, kind of awkwardly. "It is warm."

The awkwardness, actually doesn't bother Kageyama that much, to the extent he even truly notices it. Once everything is set up, he sits down.

"What kind of game is it?"

[anxiouscat]

When you're so awkward you don't even mind your own awkwardness. This is fine.

Kenma kindof lingers, then goes to the kitchen to get some bowls out, forks. "Ah, thank you... just over here then. How much do you want?"

"I was thinking... one of the sports games, maybe..." There's not many good volleyball games, but plenty of other ones they can try first. Mee Sports Volleyball, maybe?

[assumptions]

Kageyama shook his head a little, confused. "It's for you."

"Okay." Kageyama doesn't really mind what he watches Kenma play mostly he just didn't want to be alone and everything.

[anxiouscat]

He stifles a tiny laugh. "If I ate all this myself I'd die... That's so much."

Freeze it? Hmm, that somehow feels wrong.

[assumptions]

Kageyama blinks.

"It's a lot?" He could easily eat a whole pie...

[anxiouscat]

"Yeah...?"

Blink... blink. Volleyball players are all freaks with endless appetites.

"I can't eat very much..."

[assumptions]

"Oh... uh... sorry."

He looks almost sheepish for a flash of a second.

"I can help you eat it then."

[anxiouscat]

"No need... to apologize. It was nice of you... To get me some."

He cuts out a slice for himself, another plate gathered for Tobio and a fork.

"Want to just come get what you want? I'll get the game ready."

[assumptions]

"Do you want some for later?" Kageyama asks as he goes to get look at the pie and then glances at Kenma.

[anxiouscat]

... "Yeah... Maybe the same size slice." He calls back, he left like, most of the pie there. He wasn't kidding when he said he doesn't eat too much.

While he's sorting that out, Kenma's getting one of the game consoles ready. Legend of Zoldo? Seems fun enough.

[assumptions]

"Just...one?" Kageyama frowns a little down at the pie.

But he starts to get himself some, basically the rest of what Kenma says he won't eat...not to mention the food he'd actually brought for himself and all... But he is a bottomless pit.

[anxiouscat]

"Mmmh- it's nicer fresh. You might as well have some too-"

He won't be terribly surprised when it's all gone. But maybe a little impressed. Sports players and their bottomless stomachs, right?

When he gets back, Kenma's already had a couple nibbles, seemingly very happy with that- though it's hard to tell with his sharp features.

[assumptions]

Kageyama settles with some apple pie and still feels a bit weird eating what he'd intended as a gift for Kenma but then again he also has no intentions of something good going to waste. At least the other will enjoy some of it... he'll know better for next time too!

He glances over at Kenma as he himself starts shoveling in pie into his mouth.

"Why do you like it?

[anxiouscat]

It's all about learning! Can't know someone perfectly without interacting first, after all.

"Why?... it's tasty, right?" He thinks so, at least. There's a little shrug as he leans back, working through his food before trying to play games. "Why do you like volleyball?"

[assumptions]

"Lots of things are tasty.."

Kageyama mumbles.

"Because it's volleyball."

Easier than explaining that he'd basically been born loving it and that his grandpa had only furthered that natural inclination.

[anxiouscat]

"sure... But that doesn't really answer..."

He blinks over, a faint head tilt, and then there's an empty plate eventually set aside. Akward ass cat as ever.

"If I said... because it's apple pie. Would that make sense to you?"

[assumptions]

Kageyama had ate about three times what Kenma had ate in the same time and then he tilts his head at the question.

"yes."

[anxiouscat]

"Oh..."

He doesn't understand him at all... But he can see why Shoyo got along with him so well. One of those people that operates entirely on instinct.

"I guess it's the same... I just think it's really good."

[assumptions]

"Okay," Kageyama can accept that. There's a lot of foods he thinks are way better but he supposes it's fine if Kenma prefers apple pie... maybe he'd have more energy if he ate more meat and stuff, though...

"Do you eat it all the time?"

[anxiouscat]

Maybe... but then, usually the problem is NOT eating... not eating the wrong stuff.

"Not really... Just a nice treat to have sometimes." He gives a little shrug. In truth it's because he's often too lazy to go out and get it.

"Ready to try some games?" He's almost literally itching to go.

[assumptions]

"I'll just watch you first," Kageyama says, because well he doesn't want to lose you know.

[anxiouscat]

"Are you sure?"

He taps along, pulling out a racing game and getting it started. Totally not a subtle plan to get Tobio into the vibe of the game first. Cart, track, character. All selected.

He shifts, getting comfortable on the couch beside him before starting the first race and... Man this game is chaotic with all the NPCs and items turned on!
