[There are types of disrespect toward Ushijima that Shirabu won't just stand there and tolerate, but they tend to be more like Goshiki's constant displays of disrespect - treating oneself as a direct rival whose abilities match his, insinuating that he can be bested, trying to find excuses for his talent that undermine his hard word and natural gifts. He knows full well that most people grossly misinterpret Ushijima's personality and isn't so blinded by hero worship that he can't see why, so it doesn't bother him in the same way.

Besides, he knows how Ushijima has hounded Seijoh and Oikawa in particular, and... well, as the team's actual setter, it doesn't please him very much either.]

Ushijima-san isn't really as cold or flat as he can seem. That said, he's not a very good singer.

[Scandalous tea spill. And pretty good comedic timing on Shirabu's part, leaving the reveal that long. He, too, has layers like an ogre.]

Interesting, hm. That's not a reputation I tend to get.
