Mercy (Kyotani/Maddog)

Chapter 9: The Case of the Missing Sketchbook.

The rest of practice went over fairly smoothly other then Kyotani constantly trying to piss off Oikawa and Iwaizumi as indirectly as possible and Oikawa and Iwaizumi taking it out on him.... but the rest of the players were good!

You were being driven insane by playing the middle. You paced outside of the changing room in wait of the three, Kyotani was the first out and you instantly pulled him aside.
"You and me have something to talk about."
You growled at him, a confused look on his face as he stared down at you.

Oikawa and Iwaizumi were right after him and stopped in their tracks when they saw you with him.
"And you two! Get over yourselves! You aren't my protectors. He was a quick fuck so get over yourselves, I'm not even dating him."

You quickly turned from Iwaizumi and Oikawa to Kyotani.
"And you! Stop being a child and flip flopping on everything you do!"
You huffed quickly before letting go of Kyotani and stomping out of the building. You couldn't stay there after yelling at them like that, it would be too awkward.

You didn't stop walking until you got to your room at home, not even greeting your mother. You flopped into bed with a big huff before digging around in your bag for your sketchbook but before you could find it there was a knock on you door.
"Who is it!?"
You called out in annoyance, not wanting to talk to any of the boys yet.

"It's mom, sweetheart...."
She meekly spoke from the other side of the door.

You shot up in your bed and went to open the door for your mom, quickly changing your tone to a sweater one.
"Yeah mom?"

"Oh everything okay? You slammed your door and didn't greet me like usual"
She continued to speak meekly as she fiddled with her hand. The only thing you and your mother really had in common is that in public settings you were quiet yet your demeanors were completely different, you were the analitical scary quiet while she was the sweet girl kind of quiet.

"No Oikawa, Iwaizumi and this other boy are being stupid..."
You held the door open for your mom to enter your room and went to sit on your bed with her.

"So... boy trouble..."
Your mother proposed, you instantly nodded before leaning your head against her shoulder.
"Well what's happening."

"Well... this boy walked me home yesterday and Oikawa almost beat him up cause he thought he hurt me-"
You started

"Well did he?"
Your mother quickly asked and you shock your head no before continuing explaining.

"And the boy goes between flirting with me... kind of, and making fun of me but today at practice he used me to get on Iwai and Oikawa's nerves and they made him work extra hard."
You finished explaining before looking up at your mother.
"Iwai and Oikawa say they don't like him cause he's bad news..."

"Well.. he doesn't hurt you... but do you like him?"
Your mother asked. This was the first time you actually had to think about it.

The room was meet with silence for a second before you pulled away from your mom and shrugged.
"I don't know... but Iwai has also been acting strange..."

"Did you tell them how you felt.."
Your mother gently smiled at you as she straightened out your shirt.

"Kind of... I yelled at them after practice..."
You sighed, feeling a bit guilty for yelling at him.

"Well... be my baby and don't let the treat you like that and put you first. Don't listen to these dumb boys."
You mother smiled before leaning in and kissing your forehead and leaving the room.
"Yourself first sweetheart and don't forget to express your option."
She repeated as she left the room.

You nodded once again and went back to looking back your bag for your sketch book. After a few moments of ruffling around in it, you released that it wasn't in there. You were just about to go into a panic until you got a text, you quickly checked in hope it was a friend of yours you accidently left it with.

Kyo
You really got my facial structure down...

You
Kyo! I swear to god if you stole my sketchbook!

Kyo
Don't worry sweetheart. You left it at the gym and I found it cleaning up. I told Mizoguchi I knew where you lived and I'd deliver it to you.

Be at your place in 2 minutes by the way.

You
Thanks! But stop looking through it!

Kyo
Can't help it.

You are a good artist.

You growled as you turned off your phone and rushed out of your room, running directly into Iwaizumi and Oikawa.
"Grumpy! There you are! We are sorry!"
Oikawa start as Iwaizumi nodded in agreement.

"We thought you two were getting together"
Iwaizumi anxiously rubbed the back of his neck as he spoke.

You quickly shock your head as you started to shuffle by them.
"Trust me. I'm not an idiot but right now I gotta grab something... from someone."

"Oh! Um... we are sorry..."
Iwaizumi quickly spoke as he started to push Oikawa towards his room.

"Yeah! Forgiven! Get better yada Yada!"
You quickly said before rushing downstairs and out the door of your house.

You paced outside the gate of your house anxiously  for a few moment before Kyo came into view. Your face instantly lit up as you rushed towards him and ripped the sketchbook from him.
"Oh my God Kyo! Thank you so much!"

Kyotani had never seen your face light up so much and... it flustered him.
"Uh... yeah... no problem... you are good... at drawing that is."
Kyotani looked down at the ground and loosely kicked at the ground.

"Honestly though Kyotani. You don't wanna know what I would do if I lost it..."
You hesitated for a second before wrapping your arms around Kyotani and hugging him.

This only caused him to fluster more, instantly pushing you away from him.
"Well... um... I figured since I'm here... might as well work on the project..."

"Of course! Stay for diner too! It's the least we can do."
You grabbed Kyotani's arm and dragged him into your house.
