"Hello, Iwa?" M/N questions as he picks up what appears to be a call from Iwaizumi.

It was quite abnormal for Iwaizumi to call, and thus our main protagonist was rather alarmed and puzzled upon seeing the ace's contact name(Iwa~♡) flash on screen.

However since M/N was greeted with nothing but silence as Iwaizumi failed to answer fast enough, M/N decides to open the conversation on a lighter, flirtier note, "Love, you there?"

A loud crash could be heard from the other side of the call followed by a very prominent shout from Oikawa calling out, "Iwa-chan!" in shock.

Subsequently, a very faint "I'm fine!" could be heard from M/N's phone as Iwaizumi struggles to pick himself up from being thunderstruck by the ravenette's choice of words.

The word 'love' struck a cord deep within Iwaizumi. His heart was suddenly beating out of control. It was like getting slapped by an emotion that made absolutely no sense.

Iwaizumi was filled with pure adulation, happiness, and yet a hint of confusion still lingered within the depths of his mind, causing his brain to lose control of his fingers— allowing for the phone to slip by, falling noisily onto the ground.

Shakily picking up his phone while ignoring the scrambling Oikawa who now stood beside him, Iwaizumi composed himself and spoke, "Yep, I'm here M/N."

M/N smiled on the other end, "So why the sudden call Iwa? Not that I mind a call from you of course."

Iwaizumi coughed slightly clearing his throat. His reason for calling was flimsy at best, thus he was a little embarrassed, "Well, the thing is I was sort of forced to dial you up due to Shittykawa."

Upon hearing his own 'name' mentioned, Oikawa instantly chirped up from beside Iwaizumi, "Hello M/N-chan!"

Clearly, noticing Oikawa in the background of the call M/N was intrigued, "Oh? So what is the reason?"

Iwaizumi sighed audibly into the phone before shoving his phone to Oikawa, "Here, you tell him yourself."

Oikawa gratefully receives Iwaizumi's device speaking into it, "Hi M/N-chan, it's me."

"Hello, Oikawa-senpai." M/N greets politely.

"Eh, you should stop with the senpai." Oikawa whines slightly.

M/N shook his head despite Oikawa not being able to see him, "Nah."

"At least make it sound more intimate. You sound so distant like that." Oikawa pouts from his end of the call.

"But we aren't intimate, are we?" M/N teases with a grin that despite Oikawa not seeing, knows too well.

Oikawa's eyes widened, taken aback before whining, "Come on M/N-chan, you literally call Iwa-chan, just Iwa."

M/N sighs, "Fine, fine. How about Kawa-senpai?"

"Ooohh, that's better. I'll take it!" Oikawa exclaims jovially.

"Okay, so back to the main point?" M/N smoothly steers the conversation back on track.

Oikawa was suddenly knocked back to his senses, "Ah right. M/N-chan, don't lie to me but my M/N is in danger senses are tingling right now."

"Excuse me?" M/N retorts in a tone of disbelief.

While a far away sounding Iwaizumi sounded out at the same time, "Doesn't that only work on Shiratorizawa?"

"Well, I just feel odd M/N-chan. It's like you're about to be kidnapped." Oikawa utters out softly, knowing that at the moment, he's probably portraying himself as delusional.

M/N's expression doesn't change as he continues to brew himself a cup of tea while still on call, "Oh? And who would kidnap me?"

"I don't know, it just feels as though Inarizaki will take you away from m— us or something." Oikawa murmurs out, exhibiting signs of uneasiness while being stunned that M/N would somewhat play along with/ believe him

"Don't worry Kawa-senpai, I'm definitely coming back. I belong in Miyagi anyways." M/N assures Oikawa, slowly.

Oikawa beams on the other side of the call exclaiming, "That's great!" Before softly speaking shyly, "Also, please do call us more often."

M/N easily agrees.

It was only after that was the phone returned back to Iwaizumi, "Haha, Trashykawa is a little paranoid. Don't mind him too much okay? He's just mumbling about you certainly seducing those Inarizaki players or something like that. It's ridiculous isn't it?"

M/N could only let out an awkward reply, "Of course. Kawa is just thinking too much."

"Yeah, I thought so too. Though his whole M/N is in danger senses are rather intriguing." Iwaizumi chuckles.

"Mhmm."

"Well, I guess that's all M/N. Talk to you soon alright?"

"Yeah don't forget about us!" Oikawa screams into the phone.

"Of course, bye guys." M/N then proceeds to hang up after both Oikawa and Iwaizumi say their goodbyes.

Immediately after the phone call ended, X appears in front of M/N, "You have less than two days before the mission ends, are you even prepared?"

Glancing at X's poorly hidden worried expression, M/N combs his hand casually through his hair with a nonchalant look, "Don't worry X, you'll see."

"Me, worried? Nah, nope nope, you're hallucinating." X instantly denies.

"Sure, whatever floats your boat." M/N shrugs.

-

The next day after practice had ended, M/N went up to Osamu when he noticed him unusually all alone in the hallways.

"Osamu-san?" M/N calls out almost gingerly.

Osamu turns around coming face to face with M/N, "Ah, hello Akiri."

M/N smiles, making a noise of disapproval, "Nuh-uh, didn't I say to just call me by my first name?"

Osamu shakes his head with an odd wistful expression before changing his greeting, "I mean, hi M/N."

"That's more like it." M/N nods in approval before asking his next question, his tone a lot more somber. "You doing alright? I noticed that you don't seem to be in the best state. Plus, where's Atsumu? Why are you all alone here?"

Osamu's smile dims as he answers vaguely, "I'm doing okay, M/N and Atsumu is still in the gym, I think."

M/N furrows his brows as he looked concerned at Osamu, "You sure you're doing good? Usually you and Atsumu go back home together, why the sudden shift?"

"Oh, it's nothing really. We just got into a fight." Osamu replies, still keeping his words cursory.

"Oh, dear..." M/N utters out as he places a hand on Osamu's shoulder comfortingly.

Osamu's expression lightens up as his expression softens, "Yeah, don't worry. We fight all the time, we'll be back together soon enough." Osamu lies, despite knowing fully well that this time things may be a little more complicated than usual.

As Osamu tries to reassure M/N that he was fine, M/N smoothly grabs Osamu into a tight hug, patting the spiker's back consolingly.

All was well and peaceful as Osamu melts into M/N's arms, pressing himself serenely into the warm embrace, feeling his woes all fly away. Though that was only until a very familiar incensed voice echoed down the hallway breaking the once tranquility.

"WHAT THE HECK ARE YA BOTH DOIN'?!"

All hell is about to break loose.
