like captured water

Her giggle was more than delightful. A symphony of noise to his ears as he grinned back up at her. Letting out his own laugh as his eyes crinkled at the corners, he gave his head a gentle shake. She knew better than either of them why he had so rudely knocked her over during their last encounter. It wasn't that he was really thinking anyway. Slightly breathless and at a loss of words, he tried to ignore the heat spreading through his body as she wiggled over him. "Payback, huh?" Kuroo chirped but couldn't get another word in before sand was slapped across his chest.

A gasp escaped him as he looked at her with squinting eyes. "Sayuri-chan," he teasingly chastised her as she leaped off of him into a play bow. Quickly rolling over onto his own paws so that she couldn't get the upper hand again, he leaned down into his own play bow. With his tail flipped over his haunches, wagging wildly back and forth, he peeled up his lips in a playful snarl. "I'm going to get you now!" Kuroo shouted with an added yip on the end as he leaped at Sayuri.

As he gained air, he aimed to wrap his legs around her shoulders. If he were successful, he hoped to lean his weight into it and maybe guide them toward the water nearby...
