Again (Oikawa Tooru X Reader)

5) Serve

"Y/n, y/n, y/n!" You look up, seeing Iwaizumi running toward you holding a paper. "What--?"

"Can I please copy the homework we had? The teacher's outside right now and I stayed late during practice yesterday and forgot to do it."

"Yeah sure," You take your folder out and show him the answers, he quickly writes everything down and thanks you profusely while running to his seat.

You sweatdrop and put the folder back in your bag. A moment later the teacher and Oikawa stroll in, laughing. He plops down next to you, smirking.

"Guess who just got excused from the homework," He pipes to you in a hushed tone, you scrunch your nose up at him. "You're such a cheater, you weren't even doing anything important last night, you could have done it."

He shrugs, "Neither was Iwa-chan and he didn't do it." Said boy looks over toward us and shoots a glare at Oikawa, "Yeah but he didn't try to talk his way out of it."

"No, he copied it from you instead. That's also a cheater if you ask me, I was excused, he is lying about his academic endeavors."

"And you didn't lie to the teacher about what you were doing last night?" You raise an eyebrow, he smiles, "Nope, I simply exaggerated a little bit."

"You're unbelievable," you mutter, shaking your head.

"Wow, you're carrying that pole all by yourself! That's amazing Y/N-san!" The first-year setter exclaims, you laugh boastfully while putting the pole into the closet.

"I am strong, aren't I?" You start flexing, and the girl stares in awe while giggling, "Put the guns away Y/N." Teruhashi strides by, throwing the net into the supply closet.

You sigh, holstering those babies and making your way out of the closet, "Do the boys not take down their net?" You turn towards the boys' side, seeing the net still up and balls scattered around everywhere.

"No they don't, Oikawa-Senpai always stays after and practices his serves."

Ew Senpai

"Ah, I see," You don't see him at that moment, but a second later he comes back out with a ball cart and starts picking up the scattered balls.

You've heard about his serves, accurate and strong topspin. Girls don't do those as much as boys, due to the differences in platforms and strength.

You use a jump floater, well refined because of beach volleyball.

"You go on ahead," You say to the girl, who nods and enters the locker room. You simply watch Oikawa serve once, then again.

Wow, he's like actually good.

You wait for the right moment to duck under the net dividing the courts and run to receive his serve. He spots you just after releasing the ball.

You position yourself in front of the bottle he's aiming for, but the serve is stronger than expected and knocks you backwards. You tumble into the water bottle, which hits you on the head. After two rolls, your momentum stops, and you're back on your feet.

The pass is up but it falls a bit short of the ten-foot line, "Ouch..." You mumble, rubbing your forearms.

"Pfft--" Tooru's laugh sounds throughout the gym, and you blush.

"Shut up!" You shout at him, "I'm not used to those kinds of serves!"

"No way it knocked you that far!" He doubles over, finding this a little too funny.
