"I learned how to serve and block from watching him. He's good. Not that it makes a difference. Concentrate. We're gonna win the last set. Got it?"

"R-right!" Hinata says, looking back at Tanaka who was making a delinquent face.

"Tanaka-san, no faces!!"

"Anyway, go get warmed up! And be more thorough about it than usual! Watch that ankle!" The coach from blue castle scolded.

"Yes, Coach." Oikawa replies.

"OIKAWA-SAN, GOOD LUCK! ~ <3"

You winced as the girls screech again. Oikawa points up at you and makes a come here motion with his finger. The girls in front of you screech, one of them even fainting.

You cup your hands over your mouth and shout, "What do you want!"

"Come help me warm up!~" Oikawa gives one of his famous smiles that probably made every girl's knees go weak.

The girls in front of you send you glares until they notice your good looks. They fall silent, watching you make your way down to the court.

Oikawa grins and immediately wraps his arms around your neck, swaying back and forth. "Yayyy!"

You can't help but smile. "You just saw me a couple minutes ago," you say, placing your hands on his hips.

He shrugs. "I know. But I like your attention." He attempts to kiss your cheek but you pull away.

"Do your warm ups, pretty boy."

He beams. "You think I'm pretty?"

You send him a look and he sweat drops, getting to the floor to do some stretches.

He would ask for your help at the littlest things. The girls who were just fan girling earlier were now shipping the two of you, taking pictures and videos of the compromising situations.

Oikawa stands up and pulls you up with him, smirking.

"Are we done here?"

"Nope."

"What else..?"

"Kiss me?"

"Nope." You pat his head and walk back to the stands. He pouts and goes to tell the coach he's ready.

You glance at the scoreboard, choking on your own spit.

20 - 24 with Karasuno in the lead.

In all honesty, seeing you with Oikawa like that had pissed the team off. Their anger and jealousy fueled into their game, allowing them to be focused and aggressive.

Kindaichi runs up to spike. "Not so fast! You haven't won yet!!"

Tsukishima flubs the receive and blue castle earns the point.

Aoba Johsai - Player Substitution

In: No. 13 Oikawa

Out: No. 7 Kunimi

You frown, knowing Oikawa could very well win with his killer serve depending on where he aimed it. Considering his twisted ways, he'd probably focus on the ones with weak receives. This was bad...

Oikawa grabs the ball and walks over to serve.

"No matter how powerful your offense is... it means nothing if you can't even get the ball into play." He lifts up the volleyball, pointing his finger at Karasuno, directly at Tsukishima.

He tosses the ball into the air, takes a running start, and jumps into the air. It looked like he was flying. His hand connects loudly with the ball, sending it flying straight at Tsukishima. You'd always admired the sheer control and force he could put behind his serves. It didn't come without consequences though... you vividly remembered when he hurt his knee.

Tsukishima flubbed the receive, sending the ball way up into the stands.

Tadashi, Suga, and Takeda all drop their jaws. "Yikes!! How hard did he hit that?!"

"Yep. Thought so. I noticed this while watching you earlier. The tall number six over there and shorty number five there... you aren't very good at receiving, are you? Are you both first years?"

Oikawa serves again, sending it straight for Tsukishima. He misses again.

"Damnit!"

You frown at Oikawa picking on Tsukki, but you know he's trying to win as well.

"Ooh. One more point and we tie it up."

"Hey!! You!! Great king!! Send it to me next! I'll get it just perfect!! Come at me!!" Hinata yells, flailing his arms and stomping his feet. You grin slightly.

"Quit flailing. It's pathetic." Tsukishima sneers.

"What'd you say?! Listen, the most important thing to remember about volleyball is that everybody in this side of the net is your ally! No exceptions!"

Tsukishima gives Hinata a weird look and Tanaka looks delighted at being quoted. Daichi tells everyone to move back, expanding his area to receive.

Oikawa serves and impressed everyone by pinpointing Tsukishima even in the tiny corner. Tsukki receives it, giving the other team a free ball.

"Oh, he actually got it. Not bad, not bad! I guess that one was too easy. But.. now it's a free ball for us. What a lovely, lovely little free ball," Oikawa says as he receives. (Anyone else cringing while remembering the dub version? "What a delicious chance ball")

Yahaba sets the ball for Kindaichi, but Hinata deflects it.

As soon as he lands, he zips to the other side of the court, slamming the ball down right past Oikawa.

Silence.

The whistle blew.

Set Count 2 - 1
