Again (Oikawa Tooru X Reader)

9) Unfair

You stretch your muscles, feeling excited for your first indoor match. Your team and you had been training like crazy, refining and fixing the kinks of your game. Finally it was the day of your first match.

You watched as the setters peppered, Sasaki and another first year.  You found it crazy that your team only had one setter for three years, she must have been amazing. So amazing they forgot to train any other setters.  Luckily, Sasaki showed up.

"Y/N!"  You turn back toward Takara and throw your hands up to cover your face, "Can you focus?!"  Takara shouts at you and you sweatdrop, "Okay, okay I'm sorry."

You get back into the ready position and continue warming up.  She's a lefty, which makes receiving her a little weirder but it doesn't matter. She's like a machine as she hammers balls at you and the other outsides, "Oh my lord Taka-chan save some arm strength for the game!"  Mira shouts, holding her arms in pain, "Shut up!" The captain yells back, grunting as she swings again. 

She tends to be super intense before games, and then insanely calm during. 

"Okay someone is cranky today," Mira whines, coming up behind you on line.  You shrug, dismissing her behavior.

"She's just excited." 

Mira sighs, "Yeah, yeah. I just wish she wasn't trying to TAKE MY ARMS OFF!!"  She shouts the last part, and Takara shoots her the nastiest look ever.

You chuckle softly then turn toward the door, "Is anyone checking if that game is happening still?"  As if they heard you, a first year who was keeping tabs on the games comes running in.

"Who won?"  Taka asks, the first year responds quickly, almost tripping over her words. "Uh, Wakunan." 

"Ugh obviously," Takara huffs, housting her bag on her shoulder and stomping out the door while yelling at you all to follow her.

"What's she have against Wakunan?"  Sasaki walks over, perplexed. You shrug and look at Mira, who puts her hands up in defense.

"I don't know," She turns to the team, "Anyone else?"

A long stretch of silence ensues, "Uh, I guess not."  Mira says with a laugh, "Um okay." Sasaki and you look at each other confusedly.  A shout from Takara jolts you all into action and the team starts to walk toward the gyms

As you enter the gym, you inhale the scent and look up into the lights.

Um, ow. 

You conclude the lights are very bright, blinking to readjust them.

Hopefully Sasaki is okay to set

You make your way to your court, feeling ready to jump right into the game despite having more time to warm up.

You subconsciously search the arena, spotting a cheer squad for you guys.

"We have a cheer squad?!"  You exclaim, pointing at all the teal decorations, the girls nod. "Isn't it awesome?"  Teruhashi asks and you nod vigorously, "They have one too wow!" You say, pointing to the yellow banner across the way.  "Yeah, almost all the teams have it," Taka states.

"Jeez..." You whisper, you'd never experienced this kind of student support and it warmed your heart, furthering your excitement to play your first game.

---

During hitting lines for warm-ups, you start to lock in with Sasaki, your connection feeling great today.

"Nice kill!"  She shouts and low-fives you as you go under the net to get your ball. 

While you jog to get back onto the line, you hear someone call out your name.  "Y/N!"  You look up to see Iwaizumi waving at you from his position up above, next to him sits Tooru with a neutral look.
