Finally, some peace.

"What kind of face is that?"

"Huh?" I jump, startled by someone's voice. I furrow my eyebrows once I make eye contact with the person who interrupted my peace.

Oikawa.

"What are you doing here?" I question. Now, I can't hit him with a volleyball...

"Why do you seem so disappointed to see me? Come on, at least try to seem happy!" He whines.

I let out a sigh, "Seriously, just answer the question. I thought you would be staying late tonight."

"I have my tournament tomorrow. I need to get some rest to crush all my opponents." He smiles.

"Wow, you're kind of a dickhead." I state.

"What's wrong with wanting to beat the other teams and win? I need to make it to nationals, y'know."

"There's nothing wrong with that. It's just the way you said it. And you in general, you give off dickhead vibes." I shrug.

He dramatically clutches his chest, "Ouch, Y/N. What did I ever do to you?"

"Anyways," I look back at the sketchbook I was holding, "You still haven't answered my question. What are you doing here?"

He takes a seat next to me, "It seems like you're always visiting me in the gym. So, I thought, why not visit my good friend, Y/N, in the art room!"

I raise an eyebrow, "Really? That's it?"

He nods.

"Um... Ok, well..." I pause, trying to think of something to say, but was quickly interrupted.

"You said you would teach me how to draw. Back when I was teaching you how to serve." He says.

"O-oh... I forgot about that."

"So, can I have a paper? And a pencil too." He holds his hand out, waiting for me to give him supplies.

"Now?" I look at him, now making eye contact.

"Yeah, when else would we do it?"

I sigh, looking through my bag to find an extra pencil and paper. I set it on the table in front of him and do the same with my sketchbook for me.

"Ok, what do you wanna draw?" I ask.

"What's your favourite thing to draw?" Oikawa taps the pencil against the table, waiting for a reply.

"Uh- people...?" I hesitantly say.

"Then show me how to draw a person." He says.

I stare at my empty sketchbook page. Am I really about to do a drawing tutorial for Oikawa right now?

"Ok... start with drawing a circle for the head, make sure you draw lightly, in case you need to erase anything. These are just the guidelines, and it just makes things easier. Then you do the guidelines to help with putting the eyes and the mouth and stuff..." I glance over at Oikawa's paper. It was the same thing that I drew, but he wasn't as light with the pencil.

"You're drawing the lines too dark. Loosen up your hand, like this." I hold my pencil the way I usually do when drawing lighter lines, "I don't know, it's hard to explain..."

"That's fine. Continue." He stares at my hand intently, doing the same with his own hand and pencil.

"Alright then... now, if you want, we can lightly erase the guidelines, and start drawing... the face shape...?"
