kawa says: LAST CHRISTMAS I GAVE YOU MY HEART BUT THE VERY NEXT DAY YOU GAVE IT AWAY

.・゜-: ✧ :-　

AS SHE WAS INVITED TO COME AND WATCH THE BOYS PRACTICE LATER AT NIGHT, she couldn't help but be slightly worried while walking alone. L/N had always been more of the meek, scared, and even cowardly type, who would jump at the slightest of noise in the bushes.

But when her bestest friend invited her personally and gave her that cute, hopeful look, she couldn't find it in her heart to say no. So here she was, walking alone in the cold night air. She was standing outside the gym doors, taking in a deep breath and then walking in.

But, it was dark. Pitch black, even. Not a single ounce of light. At first, L/N's first reaction was that something bad happened and that she should run away. But of course, like any good protagonist, she doesn't follow that gut instinct and instead walks in.

"U-Um, hello? Iwaizumi-san? Oikawa-san? Are you there? Hanamaki-san? Kunimi?" She called out sort of quietly. It felt like she was in a horror movie like there was a big bad monster waiting to eat her.

As soon as she took a few steps in, the doors slammed shut and were locked behind her. She visibly jumped, her mouth starting to shake and the worst-case scenario starting to play in her mind. What if someone was there to kill her? Why did she walk in? Why didn't she just call the cops?!

Stupidly, she had forgotten her phone. That's why.

Suddenly, a small bouncing noise was heard along with some hushed whispers and footsteps. And now, she was certain there was somebody there. Or even, a group of people.

With a shaky voice, she looked around, sweat started to form on her palms. "Who's there...?"

As expected, nobody answered. And that's when she felt terror strike through her body. "P-please don't kill me! I don't wanna die!" She cried out, tears threatening to appear in the corner of her eyes.

For the average person, they would just believe this whole thing was a prank and that somebody would be stupid to actually be scared. However, L/N wasn't just the average person. No, she was afraid of the dark. She had never really gotten over ghost stories and after her friend from her home country scared her shitless at a camp once, she had never really recovered.

Then, she felt a hand be placed on her shoulder. She froze up, and like it was a greater instinct, she swung with her fist behind her, hard. It was pure adrenaline and fear keeping her from breaking down and crying.

All the lights flickered on.

L/N's eyes widened.

There, stood Iwaizumi, his face now decorated with a large red mark. Just like that, you could probably visibly see her soul ascending from her body.

"I-Iwaizumi-san...?" She had choked out, almost hesitantly. Her lips quivered, tears spilling out comically. "O-oh my god! I'm so sorry!" She wailed.

He grabbed the side of his cheek, holding it in disbelief. Now, you may or may not be thinking, why hasn't he lashed out yet? Wouldn't he be angry that she'd hit him? And the answer is, you'd be right. He probably would be angry.

If it wasn't her.

If it was anybody else, then yeah, definitely. But her, that one girl, hit the soft spot he didn't even know existed. She had him wrapped around her finger and honestly, he really didn't care.

"Oh my god...she hit him." Matsukawa gasped, his eyes flickering from his best friend to the two standing where everybody could see.

Hanamaki had this wide smile, covering it slightly with his mouth. "Will he yell at her...that's the real question here."

"Poor L/N...She's in for it now, I know best." Oikawa sighed, dabbing his eyes with a tissue while hiccuping. "Before she goes, tell her I love her."

Iwaizumi looked at her, dead in the eye. And just like that, L/N could've sworn she saw the light ascending upon her.

"It's okay."

He said normally, still holding his face. He smiled slightly, giving her a cheeky grin that was only reserved for her eyes. "Besides, you pack a punch. Where'd all this strength come from?"

"Y-you're not mad I hit you..?"

"No, it wasn't your fault. It was instinct." Iwaizumi's smile faded as he looked past her and over to the team who were all watching silently at their interactions. "But those guys...however..."

His eyes darkened. "It was their stupid idea to scare you in the dark. They threatened me so I had to play along, goddammit."

"But after you spoke, I couldn't take it and dumbly didn't turn on the lights and only touched you. You were obviously scared so you swung wherever you could. It's fine. I would've done the same." Iwaizumi said softly, making sure to cease his harsh tone so she wouldn't be intimidated. That was the last thing he'd want to do.

"A-Ah...that um- makes sense...thank you...Iwaizumi-san." Her face grew hot as her eyes were averted.

"Anytime."

Her heart started to beat louder and louder. His smile looks so charming and nice...and since he was so up close she didn't think she could take it anymore.

He took a few steps forward, standing next to her. "You guys...I'm not letting any of you off the hook. Not even you, Kunimi."

Said boy turned his head with a blank look. "But I didn't even take par-"

"No if, and's, or but's! All of you, laps, right now." Iwaizumi grabbed a volleyball and threw it, narrowly missing a couple of them in the process.

"But I'm the captain! You can't make me do-" bang. "Okay, okay! I'm going!"

.・゜-: ✧ :-　

Iwaizumi and L/N watched as the boys suffered, the girl chiming in every now and then asking if they were okay and if the punishment was a bit too harsh.

"No, they're fine. They're all just dramatic. You were so scared because of those morons."

That was his answer basically.

L/N then turned her head to Iwaizumi who was sort of leaning back in the seat. "You know, Iwaizumi-san...I don't believe you'd have any dirty secrets...so what could they blackmail you with? Like...bad pictures of you eating noodles or something?"

The boy coughed as he remembered exactly how it went down.

.・゜-: ✧ :-　

"No way in hell. I'm not takin' part in your stupid little prank." Iwaizumi crossed his arms, glaring at the boys in front of him. Oikawa smiled his signature charming smile.

"Oh, but you need to! Otherwise...L/N might find out about your little crush...!"

"...What..."

Iwaizumi's cheeks immediately reddened, his eyes widening in sync as his composure was quickly ruined. "What the hell did you just say."

"Yeah, don't think we haven't noticed..." Makki started out grinning cheekily, then slumped down and sighed heavily. "Honestly it's really obvious...how the hell does she not know. I love her, but god she's oblivious."

"She's so sweet but so damn dense...anyways, yeah. If you don't participate, we'll tell her about your little- actually, huge crush on her!" Matsukawa threatened with a smirk.

"God, shut up!" Iwaizumi scowled, now embarrassed and looking down uncharacteristically. "I'll do it. Just...shut up about it, alright..."

.・゜-: ✧ :-　

He looked towards her, then down again, palms now growing sweaty. "Yeah...they got this ugly photo of me."

"Ah, that makes sense." She smiled, then looked towards the boys who were now finishing. L/N pulled a small, Hello Kitty bandaid out of her pocket and leaned in slowly and stuck it on his face.

"Well, this might not do much to help...but it looks cute. You can take it off if the others will make fun of you for it, though."

Iwaizumi touched the bandaid tenderly, trying his best to not smile at her adorableness. "No, no. It's um- fine."

'I'm never going to get rid of this.'

The two were now embarrassed, looking down from each other with large smiles.
