The once pitch black sky was painted with hues of azure and pink and the bright morning sun bathed the city in its warmth and radiance. The crisp and clean morning air swayed the trees and bushes.
Y/N arrived at the gymnasium for morning practice. The usual choruses of "One Touch", "Nice Receive" and "Nice Serve" were absent making it feel silent which added to the girl's confusion. Knowing how much of a workaholic Oikawa was, the situation was uncommon.
With hesitant steps, she walked to the doors only to hear some familiar laughs and voices. She peeked through the doors and a relieved sigh escaped her mouth.
There they were. The whole team sat in a circle with every face focused on Watari who was blushing. The click of the door tore their attention from the libero. Oikawa leaned away from the group and called out in a loud voice.
"Y/N-chan come here!"
Y/N sauntered over to the group after placing her bag on the bench. She stood beside Kunimi whose head was bobbing up and down due to sleepiness.
"What happened? Why are you all sitting like this?"
Oikawa patted the place beside him and she sat down cross-legged with her jacket on the lap.
"Watari found his soulmate," Hanamaki spoke up and the libero sweat dropped at the team's interrogative atmosphere. At the third year's words, Y/N's face lit up and she leaned forward in interest.
"Tell us Watari-san."
"Not you too L/N."
"Now, spill the tea Watari." Matsukawa patted his back urging him to speak.
And so, the morning practice started late courtesy to Watari's soulmate and the whole team got scolded by the coaches.
Everyone was sprawled out on the floor, panting and sweating, after running extra 50 laps. Kunimi was laying dead on the floor. Y/N was drinking water when her eyes spotted some type of design on Iwaizumi's collarbone.
"Iwaizumi-san, is that your soulmate mark?" The spiky haired male looked down at the spot which the manager was pointing at. It was concentric semi-circles with a triangle at their supposed center.
"Ah yes it is."
"So, did you meet your soulmate?"
Iwaizumi shook his head in refusal making her nod in acknowledgment. Yahaba overheard their conversation and soon, joined them in the discussion of the soulmate marks.
Through the conversation, she came to know about everyone's marks. Matsukawa got his on his ribs, Hanamaki's on his nape and Yahaba's on his ankle. Kindaichi had his etched on his shoulder while Kunimi had his above his left elbow.
"What about you Oikawa-san?"
"Eh~ I never thought you were a pervert, Y/N-chan?" He smirked at her flushed expression.
"W-what!"
"Of course. You do know that the marks appear at different places. Unexpected ones are also an option." He teased further leaving her a blabbering mess.
"Cut the crap, Trashykawa!" Iwaizumi threw a ball at the brunette's head making him stumbled further near Y/N.
"O-ow." Oikawa rubbed the sore spot and nervously laughed.
"Sorry sorry Y/N-chan. I was just teasing you." She nodded accepting his apology. Her face still had little traces of red.
"And as for my mark, it's on my left shoulder blade." He pointed his thumb towards his shoulder. Her lips formed a small 'o' and she nodded.
"Ah wait let me show you!" He started fishing out his phone from the bag as both of them walked towards the gym doors. His thumbs scrolled across the phone screen along with the tap-tap sounds with every click.
"Here, that's my mark." He held his phone on her eye level to show her the inked design.
It was a left wing with a semi circle on the right. Thus, the actual mark would be a pair of wings with a circle in between.
"It is simple but pretty." Y/N mumbled, her eyes fixed on the screen. Oikawa hummed in agreement before a question popped in his mind.
"What about you, Y/N-chan?"
She looked up at him as she handed him the device.
"My birthday is four months later. So, I'll have to wait." She spoke in a dejected tone. The suspense was killing her everyday. It became a hassle to wait. Oikawa noticed her changed tone and wondered what could be the reason.
"Our little shorty is growning up but not in height... Heh" Kunimi's teasing voice reached the said girl's ear who got irritated by his remark.
She turned around to retort back only to have her eyes widened in amusement. She clasped an hand over her mouth and clutched Oikawa's arm while trying to stifle a laugh. Kunimi watched in confusion as the duo in front of him started laughing.
"K-Kunimi... I never knew you could look this cute," Oikawa spoke out between in laughs while pointing at the younger male. Kunimi took out his phone and switched his front camera only to have his eyes widen.
Someone scribbled on his face. Three whiskers on each cheek and a black dot on his nose, making him look like a cat.
Y/N nervously chuckled and raised her hands in defensive manner when Kunimi stared at her with anger stirring in his black eyes.
He reached out to get a grip on her arm when she hid behind the nearest person which was Oikawa before running to Kindaichi for protection.
"Kunimi, Kindaichi was also there!"
"Don't bring me into your mess!"
"L/N!"
Laughter echoed in the empty gymnasium as the manager tried to save her life from the fuming wing spiker only to get caught because of the captain.
