Mercy (Kyotani/Maddog)

Chapter 1: Water Run.

Once again you were at one of your brother's many practices. You didn't mind, the guys were nice - sometimes too nice - and you loved supporting your brother's passions as he did yours. Plus it got you out of chores back home and you could walk home with someone. Sports weren't a passion of yours however, you loved volleyball and weren't half bad at it for those many days your brother pestered to practice with him.

Most of the time you spent there you just sketched anyways. All the moving body's made great references for poses anyways. Your notebook was filled with Iwaizumi due to him, in your opinion, being the prettiest player. If Your brother, Oikawa, heard that though he'd probably pitch a fit. Iwaizumi was always at your place as well so it was nice. You weren't interested in him... a lot... just admired him. He and you two were close too due to being the people who put up with your brother the most.

The Gym was insanely hot that day due to the dozen teenage boy breaking a sweat and the current warm weather. Suddenly the voice of the coach was shouting at you.
"Young Oikawa! Help Mizoguchi get some water please."

You sighed as you slide your sketchbook off your lap and onto the bench beside you. Young Oikawa was your name seeing as though coach refused to learn your real name. Mizoguchi was one of the managers and started to gather some water bottles.
"Sir... they have a name."
Mizoguchi said with a small sigh.

You shrugged at Mizoguchi as you helped him pick up some water bottles before leaving the gym with him.
"It's a cute nickname really... maybe when Oikawa leaves he'll learn it..."
You explained, hoping that he one day would learn it.

"Oh, you are gonna keep attending matches after he's gone? I thought you attend only because of him?"
Mizoguchi stopped in front of a water bottle filling station and started to fill the bottles one by one.

"Well I do... but I like the game... and you guys. I mean I'll have less of an excuse to but I'd still love to. Maybe help even."
You genuinely enjoyed watching the game even if you didn't look like you were paying attention. Maybe you'd be a manager with Mizoguchi if your mom allowed you.

Mizoguchi nodded a bit at you as you finished filling the last of the water bottles.
"As long as you aren't a distraction I'm sure you'd be allowed."

"Oh? Is my sexiness a distraction?"
You raised an eyebrow at Mizoguchi who nervously laughed. Oikawa and Iwaizumi were a bit protective, it was like they were both your older brothers so this frightened Mizoguchi.
"Chill, I'm joking."

Mizoguchi instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
"How are you supposed to ever get a boyfriend with an attitude and brothers like that."

You shrugged as you walked back into the now silent gym, the sound of squeaking sneakers, hitting of volleyballs, and yelling was gone. Everyone was by the bench watching a staring match between Oikawa and Iwaizumi and a shorter blonde-haired boy.

Mizoguchi scoffed before picking up the pace, instantly setting the waters down for the players to grab before joining the Frey.

As you got closer you started to hear Iwaizumi and Oikawa scolding the shorter boy.
"You can't just come and go as you please."
Iwaizumi growled at him.

"And your not allowed to play right now anyways!"
Oikawa added in his usual attempt to be as dominant as Iwaizumi but just came off slightly obnoxious.

The shorter boy scoffed and rolled his eyes, his eyes landing on you for a brief second as you approach before looking back to the boys.
"He's all healed now. I'm allowed to play."
He protested.

You set your batch of water bottles with the rest of them before snatching a bottle for Oikawa and Iwaizumi and bringing it to them. Mizoguchi had fueled the other players up and was back to work after putting his two cents in, leaving them to discuss.

Iwaizumi and Oikawa took the bottles from you and thank you before Iwaizumi introduced you.
"This is Kyotani Kentaro. A second year like yourself."

"Oh is he the kid who got into a fight after a match?"
You remember your brother telling you about this story last year before you were able to attend his matches all the time.

"Yeah! That's me! And I was suspended for the rest of the season."
The boy you now knew as Kyotani Kentaro responded to you.

You turned to him with a frown and furrowed eyebrows.
"Yeah well, it's a quarter into the next season and you're an idiot for getting kicked like that. Sore loser too."
You started to chew into the boy, causing his eyes to widen slightly.

He growled in response before looking back over to Iwaizumi and Oikawa.
"If I promise not to be a sore loser as this one says, can I join again."

The two boys looked at each for moment before back to him. Oikawa crossed his arms over his chest as he spoke.
"Yes. But you are bench for the first game and today you spend the practice memorizing plays for the book."

Kyotani groaned as Iwaizumi fetched a book from the bag and hitting the boys shoulder with it.
"This is what you get idiot! Could of signed up properly. Next year we don't vouch for you and of you don't attend one of the first few practice you gravel to someone else."

Kyotani ripped the book from Iwaizumi and stomped over to the bleachers to start reading.

Oikawa leaned over to you before leaving and spoke.
"Make sure he actually reads it..."

You nodded before going to sit on the bleachers behind Kyotani to watch him. Coach was busy helping Mizoguchi with the plays and such so bo one else really was watching him.
