"Oh, you're back. How's your leg?" Coach Irihata inquired.

Oikawa put up an okay sign "Perfectly fine. It's just a sprain after all."

"KYAAAAA Oikawa-san, you're finally here!" A bunch of girls began squealing out.

"Honestly be more careful. For us to talk big, wanting Kageyama to be on court and not have our regular setter, there's no way we'd win!" Coach Irihata sighed.

Oikawa sheepishly rubbed the back of his head, "sorry about that."

"KYAAA Oikawa-san, please don't strain yourself!"

Oikawa threw a smile at the girls on the bleachers, garnering another wave of squeals.

"Kageyama-kun, who would that pretty boy happen to be? He's making me very irritated." Tanaka's face scrunched up in distaste.

"Oikawa-san, he's a very offensive based setter whose attacks I believe to be top-notch among his team." Kageyama replied, looking at Oikawa seriously. "Also, he has an incredibly bad personality."

"Enough of one for even you to say that?!" Hinata looked shocked.

"Probably even worse than Tsukishima's" Kageyama clarifies.

"That's awful!" Tanaka looked horrified for a moment.

"Oh come on, he's not that bad." M/N speaks up.

"Eh? Is he the Trashykawa you were saying M/N?" Suga questioned, finding some sort of semblance of the name to Kageyama's brief description.

M/N nodded as if Suga had solved a big mystery, "Yup, that's Trashykawa alright!"

"Why do you even call him that?" Suga blinked, not connecting why on one hand Kageyama was praising the setter and on another M/N calling him trash.

"Oh, it's just a nickname. Not given by me of course." M/N smiled brightly.

"So, you know the pretty boy?!" Tanaka narrows his eyes.

M/N nodded once more, "Of course."

"If you both know him then that would mean he's from Kitagawa Daiichi, huh?" Tanaka glanced once more at Oikawa who was talking to his coach.

"He was M/N's and my senpai in junior high." Kageyama responded.

"I keep on forgetting that you're also from Kitagawa Daiichi, M/N." Daichi shook his head.

"So M/N, how much do you know about him?" Suga questions.

M/N stood still and pondered for a moment, "Depends on what you're asking for Suga-san. Do you want to know who he dated? Where he lives? His height? Personality? His phone number? Number of alien shirts he owns? If he has abs? What time he wakes up in the morning? I know all of those but of course, there are things I don't know as well."

Everyone stared at M/N both weirdly and in shock.

"M/N, you sound like a crazy stalker." Tsukishima piped in for the first time since the conversation started, mocking M/N.

"Hey! Tsukishima, that's not a very nice thing to say!" Tanaka instantly defended M/N.

However, M/N didn't answer Tsukishima, only flashing a mysterious grin.

Before anyone could respond to M/N's rather suspicious replies a new voice joined the conversation, "Yahoo~ Long time no see Tobio-chan, you've really grown."

Oikawa came waltzing towards the Karasuno area, greeting Kageyama with an overly amicable smile as Hinata's mouth dropped, internally screaming 'Grand King?!'

"I learned to serve and block by watching him, he's a force to reckon with." Kageyama uttered lowly with Tanaka and Hinata hearing him clearly.

As Oikawa got closer to Karasuno, M/N simultaneously began to swiftly slide to the back. hoping that Oikawa wouldn't notice him, he really didn't want to deal with his questioning right now.
But M/N obviously failed, especially with Oikawa very carefully scanning through Karasuno, M/N was bound to be spotted.

Once Oikawa spotted M/N, his face contorted into one of great surprise, his aura of intimidation instantly shattering, "M/N-chan?! Why are you here? With Karasuno?! With Tobio-chan?!!!"

M/N opted to slowly look away from Oikawa hoping that maybe if he doesn't make eye contact, Oikawa would leave him alone. Of course, Oikawa didn't leave, he instead strides swiftly towards M/N, grabbing M/N by the shoulders, shaking him before turning to Iwaizumi and screaming across the gym, "Iwa-chan, did you know of this?!"

Iwaizumi only pretended not to hear him too. Immediately looking away from Oikawa as he spotted M/N's expression darkening.

"Yah, Iwa-chan don't just turn away from me!" Oikawa whined, still not noticing M/N's face.

"Oikawa-san, the cute guy you're holding onto doesn't look too good!" One of the girls above yelled.

Oikawa heard this and was concerned for M/N. Was he holding on too tight to his precious M/N-chan?

"M/N-chan, are you o-" Oikawa's voice abruptly trailed off as he finally noted M/N's calamitous look.

Oikawa awkwardly chuckled, releasing his hold on M/N, "M-M/N-chan..."

M/N's face speedily changed, a smile now plastered on his face.

Oikawa shivered.
He has a bad feeling about this.

"Tooru."

Oikawa felt a shudder run down his spine as he processed M/N calling him by his first name. His mind wandering back to the only other time M/N had called him so intimately, causing a tint of pink to gently brush his cheeks. He would've been so excited if it weren't for the situation he was in.

"What did I just hear about your leg?" M/N questioned nicely, not once dropping his grin.

"It's nothing to worry about." Oikawa raises his hands in defense.

M/N's smile tightened "Oh really? I do recall asking you not to overwork yourself didn't I?"

Oikawa nodded, "It's just a slight sprain. I assure you I'm fine."

Honestly hearing M/N reprimand him made his legs quiver like jelly. Oh god.

M/N's eyes narrowed as his eyes swept up and down Oikawa's figure once more, igniting a fire within Oikawa. Especially as he leaned forward whispering, "Take care of yourself alright? Or else you'll be punished. "

With M/N's sudden close proximity, Oikawa's heart had begun to beat erratically, his whole being freezing in place. Punishment? What kind of punishment?

Even as M/N had walked away to his position on court where the next set began, Oikawa still stood there in stupefaction.

It wasn't until when Coach Irihata had hollered for Oikawa to warm up then did he come back to his senses. But even then, Oikawa was still stiffly in a daze.

-

"Was their libero guy(M/N was it?) that strong before?" Hanamaki commented as he saw M/N make another save.

"I'm positively surprised that M/N-kun can still play so efficiently." Kindaichi spoke as the match was still ongoing.

"I was surprised when he told me he was libero. For his height, I wasn't expecting it. But I got to say, his receives are solid. Definitely Libero material, like his body is ridiculously flexible too, which allows him to pick up those balls near the ground without diving." Yahaba shook his head, fascinated at M/N's skills.

Watari nodded agreeing, "He's good."

"He's also not the good but annoying type you know? Like for some reason I don't feel as mad at him as compared to the orange monkey on their team despite them both being equally as problematic." Hanamaki looked puzzled for a moment, not understanding himself.

"Guys, concentrate." Iwaizumi commanded to his team despite also occasionally getting distracted by M/N's thighs. Especially when he squats down, wow.

At the same time, as Oikawa was warming up, he was scrutinizing the Karasuno team. Already plotting on how to defeat Karasuno.
(Tangerine boy seems to be weakest in terms of everything. Only noticeable point is that he jumps high and works well with Tobio-chan.
Next is baldie there, he is loud and looks easy to provoke. Though his overall spikes and receives are okay and generally quite strong.
Moving on to the captain, his receives are probably second best. It's stable and he helps with the defense of the team. Though his offense is not too shabby either.
Next, the glasses dude. His blocks are actually not bad, however, he lacks not only drive, but also his receive sucks, which is great news for me.
Now to annoying little Tobio-chan, his sets are still terrifyingly accurate, definitely exceeding me. However, his teamwork is still shaky and there seems to be a feud between him and glasses-chan.
The plain guy just appears to be very average in well, everything. Nothing noticeable there.
Last but not least, my precious M/N. So far since he's the libero in this match, I have yet to see his offense, so I'm unclear about that. But, M/N-chan's receives are highly stable and he is extremely reliable. Skills appear to be extremely polished with no openings. Guarding his team well from the back.
So in conclusion, to win, I'd need to attack the weakest links.)

-

Once Oikawa was done warming up, Kunimi was substituted out for Oikawa. The instance Oikawa stepped into court, the whole of Karasuno tensed up(with the exception of M/N). They didn't know what to expect.

Oikawa's face pulled into a smirk, "no matter how powerful your offensive power is, if it doesn't connect, there's no meaning in it. Is there? Though M/N-chan might pose to be a problem..."

Oikawa pointed directly at Tsukishima, "Well, no matter."

Tossing the ball up high into the air, Oikawa took into a run before jumping up and slamming the ball directly at Tsukishima.
Tsukishima failed to receive the ball as it ricochet off his arms and jammed straight into the railings.

Karasuno stood stunned at Oikawa's serve. Such power!

"Hm, just as I thought. You two are bad at receives aren't you?" Oikawa questioned, glancing at both Tsukishima and Hinata.

As Oikawa was provoking the Karasuno team and setting up to do another serve, M/N's mind was running. 'Hm, Oikawa's ball control has improved drastically. He's now able to more accurately aim the ball closer to his declaration of intent point/person. Not bad senpai, not bad.'

Tsukishima failed to receive the ball once more.

"Tsukkiiiiii!" Yamaguchi cried out in horror, extremely concerned.

"Damn it." Tsukishima cussed under his breath

Hinata began to flail around and stomp around to get Oikawa's attention "Oi grand king! Aim at me too! Here, here!"

'Grand King?' Oikawa looked at Hinata, puzzled.

"Don't shout like that, it's unsightly." Tsukishima complained.

Hinata huffed, 'even if he's in a pinch, he's still so annoying'.

"Don't worry Tsukishima, on this side of the net, we're all allies!" Hinata declared.

"Alright!" Daichi shouted out as he made eye contact with M/N.

M/N immediately understood. The both of them spreading out, opting to each defend a side to expand their defense circle.

"Hm, not bad. But you know, you guys won't be able to protect everything." Oikawa spoke as he still aimed for Tsukishima who was now more towards the corner of the court.

"Step back two steps Tsukishima!" Both M/N and Oikawa felt a sense of deja vu.

It was like a replay of middle school. Tsukishima instinctively followed M/N's commands, stepping back to make way for M/N as he swooped in to receive the ball with ease. However, M/N having the worst luck ever slipped on the floor's sweat and fell as the ball came into contact with his arms. Trying to both receive properly and cushion his fall to minimize damage at the same time certainly damaged his attention span.
M/N was more focused on not face planting onto the ground than receiving perfectly(after all, his handsome face comes first) which caused the ball to be reflected towards Aoba Johsai, giving them a free chance ball.

"It's up!" Suga shouted while looking rather concerned at the M/N who had just skidded across the floor and falling.

Oikawa, Iwaizumi, Kindaichi, and Kunimi visibly winced as they witness M/N embarrassingly slipping on sweat, and crashing 'Yikes, that's highly unfortunate.

Oikawa shook his head pushing M/N to the back of his mind as he bumped the ball, "see, it's a yummy free ball, make sure to hit it guys."

"Kindaichi!" Yahaba shouted as he set the ball.

Kindaichi had thought he had shaken off all the blockers, however at that instance when he was about to smash the ball, a hand came into view. Not having enough time to change the direction of his hit, the ball came directly into contact with Hinata's hand.

'Damn. To be blocked by that shortie!" Kindaichi huffed, internally annoyed.

"Nice one-touch Hinata!" Tanaka praised.

Hinata continued to zoom around the court as Kageyama spent no time directing the ball directly into Hinata's hand. Delivering their signature quick and securing the last point needed.

TWEET.
3rd set over.
Match over.
Karasuno high school wins.
