"AHH, WHAT THE HECK KURO! WHY DID YOU PEE ON ME?!" Washijo screeches as he jumps up from the couch startled, and disgusted.

"You alright dear? What's with the screaming?" Terano, Washijo's wife's voice echoes out as she calls from the kitchen in the midst of baking her ever-delicious cookies.

Grabbing the small black cat by the scruff of its neck Washijo's face scrunches up in disgust as he drops Kuro onto the ground as far away from himself as possible.

"I'm okay my dear. Kuro just decided to take a piss on me." Washijo replies as he glares daggers at Kuro who had the audacity to be licking its own paws like no one's business.

A cluster of laughter was heard from the kitchen as Terano was deeply amused, "Oh my hahahah! Good job, Kuro!"

"Dear!" Washijo calls out grumpily.

"Sorry, sorry. I suppose you better go clean up." Terano apologizes despite still giggling over her husband's hilarious shitty fate.

Washijo frowns as he grumbles unhappily under his breath, "I knew I shouldn't have let that little gremlin name my cat. It brings bad luck I swear."

"I can hear you, my dear! Don't accuse the poor innocent boy! Akiri is a good kid." Terano shouts out, hearing his husband insulting her favorite child.

Ignoring his wife's defense over M/N's innocence, Washijo proceeded to clean off cat piss while uttering out quietly, "I swear that brat is behind this. I don't know how or why but it has to be him."

"GWAH!" Washijo yelps out once more in major shock.

At the very next moment after insulting M/N, as if Kuro had heard him, the black cat pounced right onto Washijo. Scrambling itself up the old man before proceeding to settle comfortably on his head, while lazily swishing its tail right by his face, blocking Washijo's vision.

"GAH, WHAT ON EARTH?!" Washijo yelps once more at the extra weight on the top of his head attracting the attention of Terano.

Upon seeing an adorable black fluff ball cutely settling on top of her husband's head when she rushed out, Terano could not help but let out a giggle, highly entertained, "Kuro sure looks comfy."

"It may be comfy, but I'm not! I have a heavy-ass cat on my head!" Washijo scowls as he constantly tries to flip off Kuro's soft tail that was blinding him.

Terano chuckles once more as she admires her husband being trampled all over by a mere cat, "The look suits you, my dear."

"I literally can't see right now!" Washijo argues.

Terano only smiles brushing him off before heading back to her baking, "Oh, I'm sure you'll be fine."

"DAMMIT!" Washijo cries out as he witnesses his help line retreating back to the kitchen.

And thus, today marks the day that the great demon coach Washijo Tanji was rendered powerless.

-

Oikawa grins as he secretly records Coach Washijo's disastrous state as per requested by his lovable M/N. It was so satisfying for Oikawa to see the demon coach suffer, especially with the whole 'Go to Shiratorizawa' Ushijima escapade. Thus, when his charming little M/N had called him to do him a favour, Oikawa had no qualms and was eager to please.

The only problem was the one other variable that Oikawa hadn't expected. And that variable was a person that currently stood right beside Oikawa, a faint smile too playing on the edges of his lips as he witnesses his coach's miserable state.

Semi was elated to receive a call from M/N. He was even more excited when the all-rounder asked him for a favor. It was exceptionally rare for M/N to ever ask for any sort of assistance, so Semi was quite eager. Plus there was a bonus too.

M/N had promised Semi one favor in return for the help, as long as the task was completed.

The now pinch server was over the moon. He would not only finally be of aid to his sweet kouhai but also be able to have the privilege to cash in a favor with M/N in the future?
Semi was in seventh heaven!

The only issue was, Semi had to work together with the despicable volleyball captain of Aoba Johsai, Oikawa Tooru.

To say that Semi disliked the captain would be an understatement. Semi did not like the trashy plant one bit. It might have been a few years ago, but he could remember the incident like it was yesterday.

That wretched captain in blue was the one who had hurt M/N in the past. Semi could still remember M/N's exact words. The ravenette stated that "Oikawa senpai had punched me" and that it happened because "he was about to smack Kageyama".

To place any harm on his M/N is a grave sin. Therefore, Semi despised the little blue captain whom his own captain had been badgering for years, to come to Shiratorizawa.

-
However, despite the tension between the two hired aid by M/N, the process of bribing the cat to defecate and humiliate Washijo was a huge success. Both Semi and Oikawa had one common point that allowed for things to pass through(albeit a little shakily), and that was their love for one devious ravenette.

It was so rare that M/N needed their help that they deeply desired to accomplish whatever that was requested of them. And because of that one mutual yearning, both third years pulled through.

"It's a success!" Oikawa raises his hand amicably at Semi who still rested beside him.

Semi gave Oikawa a side eye before sighing, raising his hands to meet Oikawa's in a double high five. Also absolutely pleased that they had fulfilled their task. "Indeed it is."

Seeing that his actions were reciprocated, Oikawa decided to make some small talk, "You know, I really thought M/N-chan had gone a little insane at Inarizaki."

Semi wanted to ignore the brunette but upon hearing M/N's name, Semi was instantly intrigued, "Why so?"

"Come on don't tell me you didn't think of the same thing! He was requesting us to bribe a cat to do our bidding of getting revenge on Coach Washijo. A cat! A damn cat!" Oikawa tugs his brown locks in mild frustration.

"I don't know about you, but I really didn't think cats could be bribed. It's a cat for heck's sake! It couldn't be that smart! No matter how much M/N reassured me that Kuro was remarkably intelligent, I was skeptical. But it turns out, I was wrong. That damn black cat knew exactly what to do." Oikawa sighs as he stares at the fluffy black cat through the open house window.

Semi nods along at Oikawa's obviously miffed rant completely agreeing with him. "I was surprised as well, but after knowing M/N for close to seven years, I've learned not to question anything anymore."

Semi shakes his head endearingly as he thought of the adorable M/N, "Plus, all turned out great, no?"

Oikawa contemplates Semi's words for a moment before smiling brilliantly, "You know what Semi?"

Semi rose a brow, "Hm, what?"

"Despite me not liking you at all, you're surprisingly eloquent!" Oikawa nudges Semi playfully as if he had not just said anything wrong.

Growling internally at Oikawa's backhanded compliment, Semi let out a blank look as he nods to Oikawa, "I don't like you too, Shittykawa."

Oikawa looked offended, squeaking, "Don't call me that! Where did you even hear that from?!"

"Eh." Semi shrugged his shoulders non-committedly before walking away from the volleyball captain.

"Hey! You can't just leave me here!" Oikawa protests as he sees Semi just casually strolling away from himself.

Semi without pausing his steps turned back, giving Oikawa a mere glance uttering, "I just did."

Which those words annoyed the heck out of Oikawa. He was supposed to be the one who was masterful at taunting, not for himself to get derided. Life is so unfair!

Wow, a whole chapter without M/N physically inside(not even an unconscious coma M/N)! I think this is the first. A chapter without the protagonist actually appearing in the scene? So atypical. Heheh.
