Winner [Haikyu!! x OC] (Ongoing)

Emotions

We find the rest of the team enjoying the indoor pool, where they have the entire building to themselves. I am not at all surprised to see Oikawa, Kunimi, and Yuda sitting in the hot tub, hair completely dry.

"Oikawa-san!" I yell to get his attention, then grab the unicorn inflatable from Iwaizumi and hold it above my head. "We won this for you!"

The volleyball captain looks very confused, so Iwaizumi steps up to explain. "You know that challenge slide? Where two people go down together and if you're still holding hands at the end, you get a prize? Well, we did it," he gestures between himself and I, "and we won."

A smile slowly crawls over Oikawa's face and he climbs out of the hot tub to take the unicorn from me and stand it up. It reaches two feet above my head and is easily three or four of me wide. He laughs. "Nice one, Iwa-chan, Lil-chan!" He pushes the float over to study it and laughs some more. "This is, like, the best prize you could ever win. If we were seven years old."

The entire team joins in an outburst of laughter. It really is hysterical.

I pat Oikawa's shoulder blade. "Well, it's all yours, Captain. Now," I turn to the full length pool. "Who wants to race me?"

"You're on." Iwaizumi rushes to the end of the pool, and on Matsukawa's call, we dive into the water. I settle into a quick freestyle stroke, and Iwaizumi does the same. He's fast, but as soon as we reach the turnaround, he won't have a chance. I roll and push off the wall smoothly, increasing the speed of my stroke to finish a good four seconds before he does.

"Man, she whooped you, Iwa," Hanamaki laughs.

Iwa glowers at him. "Again."

I shrug my consent and we race again. I beat him again.

"We're going until I beat you," He asserts, completely determined.

"Fine by me." I continue beating him, though he does seem to be creeping closer each go around. By the time we've done countless lengths, my fatigue falls short to Iwa's limitless stamina and he beats me by half a second.

"YEAH!" He yells.

"Yeah, nice job. You beat Lily once out of eleven races," Hanamaki sarcastically congratulates him.

"Shut up! You can't beat her."

"I didn't say I could."

I drag myself out of the water and flop onto the concrete. "Did we really race eleven times?" I stumble over to the hot tub and lower myself into the jets, closing my eyes as they pound into my tired muscles. "What do you say, Captain, will you race me next?" I ask, cracking an eye open to see Oikawa.

"No, thanks."

I sit up and lift my dripping hand over his head. "What, afraid of getting your hair wet?"

He shoves my hand away and glares. "No."

"What about you, Kunimi? You have to go on at least one slide with me before we go."

The first-year simply shrugs noncommittally.

"Do you think we could fit the whole team in this hot tub?" I wonder out loud.

"We're definitely trying it," Yahaba plops in next to me. "Hey, let's see if we can fit everyone in here!" He yells and waves the rest of the team over. He and I scoot closer to Oikawa to make room for Iwa and Matsukawa. Hanamaki, Sawauchi, and Kindaichi follow. We're already pretty close to each other.
