Again (Oikawa Tooru X Reader)

45) Falling again

"Hey Y/N," You're greeted during passing time in the halls by a long arm wrapping around your shoulders.

"Oh hey Makki," You greet, turning to your other side to see Matsukawa. "Hey Matsunn."

He grins at you, "Hey Y/NNNN," He drags out.

"What's up?" You ask, not bothering to remove his arm from around you.

"Oh nothing, just wondering if you've got a date for spring formal?"

You shake your head, "Isn't that like a month away?" It was march fifth and the dance was set for the end of april, earlier than usual this year.

"Yeah but a lot of people start early," Makki continues, "Mhm. I mean Mira asked Iwaizumi yesterday." Matsunn informs, nodding like he's just told the biggest gossip.

You laugh, "Did she really?"

"A bouquet and all," You laugh again, "Oh I wish I saw that!—did he say yes??"

"Duh. No one else is asking him anyway," Makki states with a snicker. You wack his arm, which is still resting on your shoulders comfortably.

"Be nice." Matsunn shakes his head at your scolding, "We don't mean it in a mean way."

"It's just that since everyone knows Mira had her eyes set on him..." Your mouth forms an 'o' shape, "Ah got it. Everyone backed off."

Just then, Oikawa walks by in the hallway, his hand interlocked with Azami's.

He meets your eyes, and an icy glare is shared between you two.

Makki smirks at Oikawa, pulling you closer to him. Azami notices this short interaction, her eyes meeting yours. She smiles weakly at you, and you return it, realizing that it doesn't reach her eyes.

I hope she's okay

Turning back toward each other, Makki and Matsunn snigger. "Anyway, I wanted to ask you if you wanted to be my plus one."

Makki says swiftly, and you look at him with your eyebrows raised, suddenly very conscious of his arm.

"I...Really?" You splutter, he nods, "As friends of course."

You let out a breath you didn't know you were holding, "Oh, then sure."

He laughs, "Don't worry. I'm not getting in the way of you and Oikawa, just...pushing things forward a little."

You shrug out from under his arm, sliding toward your class, "And that's my cue to leave."

Him and Matsunn chuckle, watching you go while exchanging grins.

"I heard Makki asked you to the dance," Mira immediately flanks you as you walk into the cafe.

You laugh, "And I heard you asked Iwa yesterday."

She nods excitedly, "I had to get him early before anyone else tried."

"Early bird gets the worm I guess," You both look at each other before breaking out into grins and laughing.

You sit at your regular table, where the other volleyball girls bring up Makki.

"Wow, word spreads fast around here, huh?" You mutter, "Well it was in the hallways, wasn't it?" Kitomi asks. You nod reluctantly.

"Exactly. He probably did it there on purpose, so people would hear."

"Well they must have selective hearing because he specifically said, as friends."

"Boooo, you're no fun." Mira whines, "Do you think Oikawa knows yet?"
