Despite Suga’s guidance, this was something that could not be taught. Kageyama had to figure this out on his own. He could nudge him in the right direction, but ultimately, it was up to the younger setter to own up to his past mistakes and rebuild burnt bridges.
Suga watched him from the sidelines fondly and protectively, over this fallen king who was left by himself as the dust cleared.
A king.
Such a grandiose title was placed unfairly on him, a young fledgling testing out his wings – experimenting how far he can reach.
Kageyama’s eyes would shine whenever he received a pass just happy to play and give tosses. The setter’s job was not only to control the flow of the game and call out the plays, but the setter was also the bridge between his teammates.
The trust between a setter and his team was valuable. Too soon did Kageyama’s ex-teammates give up on him, and did a number on the younger setter’s self-esteem. Even flinching away from a nickname prestigious as “king of the court”, the damage was done.
A good ruler cares about his people, and in return they care for him. It’s not always easy to gain someone’s trust, but once you do, they can be your greatest allies. And the boys of Karasuno were loyal to a fault – they’ll stick with you until the bitter end. Suga was proud of their progress of supporting each other.
A beautiful grin rested on his face as he heard the thrilled hollering of Tanaka and their first year duo that echoed his excitement.
Kageyama was glancing around the gym before his eyes settled on Suga’s calm ones and he offered a shy, small smile in return before turning to yell directions to a bouncing Hinata.
Yes, there was so much more to Kageyama than at first glance. Not only in talent, but personality as well. Despite the frown or scathing commentary directed at his peers, his aloofness was adorable in its own right. Along with his love for the sport, his passion and determination was infectious and inspiring.
Maybe he’s better of as a prince, where he’d still have all the regality to him but mistakes were allowed. And he’ll gradually build his kingdom, earning the trust of those around him (Suga knows he’s got at least one person in his court), and he’ll become something great.
After all, the crown is there waiting for its king to reclaim it whenever he deems himself ready and worthy once again.
