“Just watch me,” Bokuto says with an impressive eyebrow waggle that could rival Kuroo’s own, “I’m gonna toss this bottle into the trash all the way from here and it’s gonna be nothing but net.”
Kuroo cranes his neck over his shoulder. The waste bin is roughly four rows of desks and a bit more away. “Uh huh,” he says, unimpressed.
Appalled, Bokuto places his free hand on his chest with a melodramatic sigh as he performs the most spectacular underhand throw that Kuroo’s ever witnessed. They watch as the bottle soars through the air, as if in slow motion, and then lands gently in the trash can as if the two inanimate objects were soulmates.
Bokuto whoops loudly, standing up with two fists in the air.
“That should not have been possible,” Kuroo frowns, “that throw had no power to it.”
“Well it did,” Bokuto bats his eyelashes in a manner that’s supposed to be coy but just looks ridiculous. “Sucks to suck.”
“Wait,” Kuroo holds a hand up, “we’re going to test it.”
“Just like how we tested your gift?” Bokuto blinks.
Figuring out Kuroo’s gift allowed Kuroo to field “were you dropped on your head as a baby” because he can reply smoothly, “Not at all! My gift wouldn’t allow it.” It also involved copious amounts of trust falling and then Bokuto not catching him because no matter what, he’d land with two feet firmly planted on the ground. Of course, it didn’t mean that falling from great heights would result in nothing; Kuroo was nothing but an avid spokesman for, “Bokuto, you know I love you but I will literally break both of my legs if I jump from there.”
Anyways:
Bokuto shrugs. “I feel like if throwing objects into a trash can was my gift, we would have figured it out a long time ago.”
“Maybe it’s just water bottles or maybe it’s just in the classroom or maybe it’s just underhand throws,” Kuroo gives him a grin. “C’mon, I figured out what my gift was after you pushed me off several buildings. All I’m asking is that we test a theory.”
Bokuto shrugs. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
**
They go out in the hallway and Bokuto makes an underhand empty water bottle that he drank™ throw into the waste bin perfectly, despite it being at the opposite ends of the hall and there’s students casually walking around.
Overhand, on the other hand, his water bottle falls short and smacks into someone. They both loudly apologize then scurry off to outside.
They make three more baskets from farther distances—Bokuto just goes with his gut and tosses the empty water bottle and it lands. They don’t do overhand anymore and they even do it against improbable odds.
Every time, it lands in.
“That’s a lot of water you’re drinking,” Kuroo eyes the same plastic water bottle that Bokuto has clutched in his hand.
“My pee is going to be crystal,” Bokuto puffs his chest with pride.
“What if you tossed something other than a water bottle that you drank?” Kuroo asks and hands him a rock. Bokuto tosses and it misses.
They toss several more things. They never make it in.
Bokuto sighs and tosses his final empty water bottle without looking. It lands.
“Dude,” Kuroo says, “this is almost as good as a mic drop.”
**
Two weeks later, they find out that Bokuto can toss any full water bottle and it will land perfectly right side up. They dab accordingly every time he does it.
