~3rd POV~

"Good job everyone! You worked hard today so go home and get some rest." The team was smiling and panting, sweat dripping down their foreheads as they leaned against the barrier or on the ice, which was where Noya and Tanaka laid, out of breath. Everyone said their thanks and bowed to Kiyoko before slowly skating towards the exit. There were a few hockey players chilling in the stands, waiting for their practice to start. They didn't say much to the skaters' faces which was weird but nice. Asahi was front and center waiting for Noya to finish practice. They were still dating in secret and being subtle but it was still a very cute jester.

"Ugh, I'm exhausted." Oikawa groaned as the three walked to the water fountain which was right outside the rink, in the lounge area.

"Same but I think our routines are looking pretty good." Akaashi leaned against the wall while Suga took a sip of water.

"Yeah, Kiyoko has really outdone herself this year. That dance school is definitely very beneficial."

"I totally agree, she's learning a lot from the dance academy. I'm so proud of her."

"And she's making us look amazing like always." They laughed, enjoying the peace of that practice. It was nice not being harassed every second of the day. Of course, nothing good lasts forever.

"What the fuck did you say to me!" Is yelled from inside the rink,  instantly drawing the boys away from the water fountain and into the icy cold room.

"You heard what I said." Ichiro smugly said to Iwaizumi who was fuming. This wasn't good... "The more you tell us to lay off the faggots the more you seem like one yourself. Just tell us, you're boning one aren't you." Oikawa gulped as the three stood and watched the exchange.

"I'm not gay so will you shut the fuck up already!"

"Awww come on we know you-"

"I'm not a fucking fag okay! That's disgusting so just shut up already!" Ichiro smirked as everything went quiet.  Oikawa's mouth went dry and his heart ached. Suga was right. His friends caught up to him.

Iwaizumi turned to see where Ichiro was looking and froze. Oikawa looked heartbroken and pissed as they just stared at  each other for a second. "Oika-" Oikawa shook his head and ran off and into their locker room. He couldn't stand being around him anymore.

"Welp, that takes care of that. Trust me Iwaizumi you'll thank me later." Ichiro patted him on the back and headed to the ice to warm up. Iwaizumi held back from beating the shit out of him so he went to their own locker room.

Suga sighed and turned to Akaashi. "You go check on him, I'm going to have a little word with Iwaizumi." Akaashi gave him a hesitant look.

"You sure?" He smiled and nodded, heading towards the varsity hockey locker room so he and Iwa could have a much needed chat. Akaashi just sighed and quickly headed to check up on Oikawa who definitely wasn't doing too well.

Suga takes a deep breath, mentally preparing  himself for any homophobia that could come. He enters the locker room with a creak of the door and sees Iwaizumi sulking on the bench, his head resting in his hands. Suga scoffs, which gets the boy to look up. "You have no right to be the one sulking right now," Suga speaks harshly which gets Iwaizumi to sit up straight.
