"y'know, iwa-chan, i think that was the first time i've seen l/n-chan nervous." oikawa nodded. the two of them were waiting outside the auditorium for y/n.
"nervous?" iwaizumi raised an eyebrow at oikawa.
"ohhh, iwa-chan did you not notice?" the setter smirked coyly. "i guess you were too captivated by—"
"good afternoon oikawa-san, iwaizumi-kun," the h/c haired girl interrupted. "what were you talking about?"
y/n knew what they were talking about. she heard most of their conversation. she was trying to find an opening to interrupt so she could save iwaizumi the embarrassment.
"nothing much, nothing much," oikawa laughed.
"is that so?" y/n mused. "where are matsukawa-senpai and hanamaki-senpai?"
"they're in our class," iwaizumi answered, stuffing his hands into his pockets.
"let's get going then," y/n smiled. as the three walked through the third year hall, they glanced in the classrooms, sometimes checking them out in more detail. a haunted house caught y/n's fancy, iwaizumi was immediately opposed to it.
eventually, they reached 3-5. before heading in, y/n turned to the two accompanying her. "so, what is your class doing?"
"you'll see, l/n-chan!" oikawa exclaimed. he raced into his class. the distinct sound of pots and pans banging could be heard and oikawa reappeared, this time clad in a maid outfit. he dragged y/n into the classroom, seating her at one of the many tables the class had set up for this event. handing her a menu, he bowed.
"welcome...mas...uh...master."
the h/c haired girl raised her eyebrows at the display, but didn't say anything, instead looking through the many, many varieties of tea on the menu...god, did they only serve tea? "may i have a cup of hibiscus rosehip?"
"right away, master." anddd oikawa hurried off to the impromptu kitchen they had set up. about 10 minutes later, he came back with a teacup full of reddish-pink tea. y/n somehow drank it all in one go elegantly.
"is that all?" the volleyball team's captain asked. y/n nodded, smiling. "so, how was it?"
"the tea was delicious and the atmosphere was pleasant. well done, oikawa-san. i have a matter to attend to, so i will be on my way. goodbye." she waved as she left, watching oikawa do a quick 'yahoo' after her praise. very poggers.

the matter y/n had to attend to was none other than the annual school pageant. of course she was coerced into it.
"miyashita-san, i think that's enough," y/n gasped as one of her classmates tightened her dress. "i can barely breathe."
"ehe, sorry l/n-san!" miyashita replied, smiling sheepishly and scratching her neck. "you sure do look great though! you're going to win this 100%."
"you think so? that's very kind of you." y/n's lips -- which were currently covered in lipstick -- curved into a courteous smile. miyashita burried her blushing face in her hands, shaking her head vigorously.
"all participants please report to the stage," a metallic voice rang through the dressing rooms. y/n waved to miyashita as she did as the voice asked, that smile never leaving her lips.
--
intermission as i confess i've never been to or watched a pageant before forgive me
--
with every word y/n spoke, she managed to capture more of the attention of the audience and judges. her poise and elegance was enthralling, it spilled out of her, dousing the stage and the area. as the show drew to an end, the judges had yet to make their call, but a victor had already been decided in the hearts of the audience.
and as that victor received the victory sash, she couldn't help but donning a most innocent smile. a smile that made iwaizumi hajime's stomach do cartwheels and somersaults and whole ass acrobatic routines as he watched.
and then y/n caught iwaizumi's eyes. his breath hitched as she sent him a cheeky smile, paired with a wink. the crowd went wild, but both y/n and iwaizumi knew that wink was for him.
"thank you so much." y/n bowed, finally exiting the stage.
