Nagi Shiomi had absolutely no interest in volleyball. On her first day as Shiratorizawa's manager, an enthusiastic upperclassman dragged her along for warm-up laps.
In the spirit of doing as the locals did, Nagi Shiomi didn't understand why, but respected the custom and ran the whole course without so much as changing her expression.
Coach Washijo, who had spent the entire morning unable to find the new manager, finally spotted Nagi Shiomi among the team members and fell silent.
Upperclassman: ...Can you really blame me? He came to be a manager at 1.9 meters tall!
2.
An opponent from another school came over to provoke them. "You must be Shiratorizawa's new first-year. You haven't even changed into your uniform. Are you not even qualified to sit on the bench?"
Nagi Shiomi: ...That's right, I'm not.
The Shiratorizawa team: So it really isn't our fault, right? See, anyone would get it wrong!
3.
Halfway through the match, Nagi Shiomi, who had been sitting quietly on the sidelines the whole time, suddenly stood up.
Opponent (nervously): Is Shiratorizawa putting this first-year in? Do they have some kind of special strategy?
Nagi Shiomi, who was only getting a water bottle for a teammate: ...No. What's wrong with you people?

Goshiki: Why don't we just persuade him to play volleyball?
Semi: Good idea. Who's going to do it?
Everyone: ...

Nagi Shiomi's impression of Tobio Kageyama: Polite, innocent, and easy enough to get along with.
Kageyama's unfortunate teammates, after he'd evolved into a tyrant: ...Who are you talking about?!
Tobio Kageyama's impression of Nagi Shiomi: A good person who knows a lot.
Kindaichi: Wait, Kageyama, are you saying Shiomi installed a tracker on your phone and knows everything you do?
Hinata: ...Run, Kageyama!
Tobio Kageyama: ?
After finally catching on, Tobio Kageyama immediately ran all the way from where he was to the gym.
Kageyama: I won.
Everyone from Karasuno: ...
He's an idiot, isn't he, Kageyama?
A cool, dark-hearted person who has no desire to play volleyball x a single-minded person who lives for volleyball. How these two got together is a mystery to everyone in their friend group.
It's probably a love story where everyone thinks things look a little worrying, but Tobio Kageyama himself doesn't notice a thing.
Notes:
1. The writing has given up trying, and the characters may be out of character.
2. Includes a tyrant-flavored Kageyama, with a character arc different from canon.
3. I've been Kageyama's mom for years, so I can't rule out a spectacular failure to keep everyone happy.
4. No canon characters will be harmed, except by the shock of discovering they like men.
Theme: Embrace your dreams and pursue what you love.
