Again (Oikawa Tooru X Reader)

13) Special

The second set starts strong for Seijoh, but neither team can pull away entirely from the other.

"Can we keep up being ahead by one or two points until the end?" You mumble to yourself, confused at this insanely even match-up.

As the game progresses, Karasuno is deliberately provoking Kyotani. You turn to the coaches, "Will that be a problem?" They look at you in confusion, you point to Kyotani stalking around the court. Irihata shrugs, "Time will tell. We can sub him out if necessary." You nod slowly while facing the court, you feel like if they stuck with their original lineup this would be a completely different game.

The coach then decides to take a time-out after Kyotani hits it out after being blocked by the other team. Everyone regroups, Mad Dog gets told to calm down by Iwa and then they're back on the court.

The swift timeout did not help, as Mad Dog still isn't performing at his best. The coach doesn't hesitate to substitute him.

He walks over to where you and the coaches are sitting and you avoid eye contact as not to piss him off more, "If you want to keep playing, you have to calm down." He doesn't respond, instead, he marches into the sub box like an upset toddler.

That attitude of his is going to be the death of him

You think with a shake of your head. He subs in a few points later, and Oikawa immediately sets to him.

So ballsy

You stand up and cheer with the team, clapping your hands at his insane cut shot.

It's mad dogs turn to serve next, and Oikawa holds the ball out to him. You look around at everyone watching in anticipation, "You did well just now." Tooru compliments, Kyotani turns toward him and takes the ball.

"Thank you," You smile softly at the character development.

The next couple plays the freak duo can't get any kills, "Yes Iwaizumi!" You yell as he digs him with a rolling receive, but it goes over the net, and the other team's ace hits it down.

You cover your face, "Oh but that was so good!"

The teams have to switch sides now, and you walk past their coaches and manager with a smile. You and the manager nod to each other and you marvel at her black hair that's almost blue, maybe a shade darker than Takara's.

Wow she's gorgeous

You comment in your mind, doing a double take at her.

"Push five as a team let's go gir-- boys!" You shout, correcting yourself. The coach laughs next to you at your mistake, "It's muscle memory." You defend yourself in slight embarrassment.

We've reached twenty first, this is the home stretch.

You inhale deeply, fully engrossed in the game.

Karasuno takes back the point and ties it up again, "That's okay Watari! Get the next one!" You shout to the libero, who missed the ace's back row hit.

Their pinch server gets subbed in, and everyone on the court looks over to you. You grin inwardly and stand up to get a better view of the boy, he looks at you with a sharp look in his eye. You smirk back, ready to read his every move.

The boy starts by tossing the ball high, but he doesn't meet it fully at it's height and hits it.

"Watch deep!" You call as it soars toward Kyotani, who goes to take it with hands but then doubts himself and hesitates.

You curse in your mind as he shanks it, "Cover! Yes, Iwa!" Said boy flies behind the line and launches the ball back into the court.

The other team starts a synchronized attack and you find yourself unable to sit down, Iwa digs their ace and you want to do another backflip.
