Did you get a weird card?
Did you get a weird card?

[He would have joined, but he was looking for something appropriately edible]
You too? [Weird] I don't.
Mine just says 'blindfolds'. [It's so direct it didn't even come with an explanation.
And the blindfold, of course.]

Did they say what we're supposed to do with them?
Ah.
[There's silence on Kageyama's end for a long while.]
So... [The thought of wearing the blindfold is an automatic no right now.] What happens if you don't?

[ The silence has Hinata fidgeting, and he'd prefer at least being able to see Kageyama's face to try and decipher what he's feeling.
Not that he's all that good at that, but he tries. ]
Hmmm, I don't think anything happens? But you get stuff if you do them, I think. I don't know what.

Maybe we could get a volleyball? [It's so tempting]
Did... he have to be the one... doing what the card said? Or does it just have to be involved?

I have to wear the blindfold?
[The intimidate and visceral reaction is-]
No.
[The intimidate and visceral reaction is-]
No.
I don't like not seeing what's around me.
[It's the part of the reason he can articulate.]

[He shakes his head before he realizes they're not on video chat.]
No. It is.
No. It is.
[It's hard to lie, and it's worse trying to lie to Hinata.]
I trust you. It'd still be weird.
[That's a little more than he'd usually say, but all true.]

[That's a little more than he'd usually say, but all true.]
[ There's a pause, the briefest of silences, and then he speaks up again. ]
Okay. Then we won't use it.
[ Simple as that. Hinata doesn't want him to be uncomfortable, doesn't want to force him into anything especially when he doesn't even know if he wants to do it himself. He doesn't fully understand the situation but... He knows this is the right thing to do. ]
If you want me to wear it I don't mind trying.

[While it's true Hinata closes his eyes when he spikes, Kageyama wasn't really expecting that trust to extend off the court. He's startled into silence for a little longer than Hinata.]
Are you sure? You don't have to either.
[If Hinata's taking his feelings into consideration, he'll do the same. He's not a huge fan of forcing the issue when it comes to this.]

[ Hinata kind of bites back calling him stupid, because this doesn't seem like the right moment and sometimes he's perceptive. ]
Huh? Of course I am. If I wasn't I wouldn't have said it.
[ His voice softens, but the sincerity is still there loud and clear. ]
I trust you. 100%, remember? That's what everyone said. It's true, and I know you wouldn't do anything bad.

[He's suddenly incredibly glad they aren't on video.]
Okay. When do you want to do this?
I'm glad you trust me.
Okay. When do you want to do this?
I'm glad you trust me.
So do I.
[That's really nice, but he can't help being a little concerned. Again there's a pause before he continues.]
Hinata, we're not on the court. You don't have to trust me.
[That's his old team, not Karasuno. But he figures he should still throw it out there. There's nothing requiring teammates to trust each other as much as Hinata trusts in him.]

Huh? Are you okay, Kageyama? You're acting a little weird.
[ Well, just that he doesn't expect those words, and they're confusing to Hinata. He doesn't get why the other would say something like that at all. ]
Even if I don't have to, I still do. That's how it is.

I'm fine.
[Or at least, he thinks he is.]
... Okay. I'm just checking.
[that middle school trauma of being left on the court hasn't quite left him yet.]
