Winner [Haikyu!! x OC] (Completed)

Girl Talk

I've eaten lunch with the third-years a few times since Oikawa and Arisu broke up, but this time is different. This time is post-kiss. I still don't really know what is going on between Oikawa and I, especially since neither of us have said anything about what happened at my house, and it's been two days.

But I'm sitting next to him, and we're brushing shoulders and knees. And even though he's busy talking to a third-year I don't know and not paying attention to me, I am enjoying it more than I should.

I take a bite of my sandwich, then look up to see Iwaizumi staring at me. Or more specifically, staring at how close I'm sitting to Oikawa, his eyes clearly insinuating that he notices.

A blush threatens to come over me, but I fight it off and play dumb. Lowering my eyebrows like I'm trying to figure out what he's saying nonverbally, I follow his gaze to the lack of space between me and the volleyball captain, then widen my eyes in faux surprise. I scoot away from Oikawa, albeit reluctantly, and roll my eyes as if I'm exasperated that he would sit so close to me.

However, as soon as I move away, Oikawa looks up from his conversation to question me with confused eyes and scoots up next to me once more, pressing our hips and legs together. Then he keeps talking with the kid on his left.

Iwa raises one eyebrow at me, unimpressed with my attempted acting.

I feel heat rise to my ears and cheeks. Time to retreat and retain some of my dignity. I stand abruptly. "Well, I better go see how Watacchi and Yahaba are doing with getting Mad Dog to eat lunch with them."

Oikawa rises, effectively blocking me from stepping over the bench, and pulls me close with an arm around my waist, kissing my cheek.

That's the end of me. The blush overtakes my face without any further fight.

"Don't let the dog bite you, Lil-chan," Oikawa winks as he releases me and sits back down.

Iwaizumi, Hanamaki, and Matsukawa are all trying not to spew their food everywhere as they laugh at me. I stick my tongue out at the three of them, hastily grab my backpack, and practically run away.

"Lily? Weren't you eating with the third-years?"

I look up to see Yahaba standing over me.

"Yahaba-kun?" I peek around the corner I've been hunkered down in to see that the surrounding area is still empty. I must have been really wrapped up in my thoughts for him to sneak up without me noticing. "How did you find me?"

Yahaba smirks. "Don't you remember? I have a gift for finding insufferable punks."

I glare at him. "Right. I guess you never get lost then."

He laughs and sits next to me. "I was actually looking for Kyotani. He doesn't eat with us if you're not there. But we're working on it."

"He's the real punk. Thanks for keeping him in line."

"I do my best," Yahaba sighs, bringing his hands behind his head as he leans against the wall.

"Do you think he'll make it any easier for you next year?"

"I doubt it. He'll probably make trouble for me out of spite. That's just who he is."

"You're right about that," I chuckle.

Yahaba turns his head sideways to look at me and smiles widely. "But now that he listens to both you and me, I can't imagine that we'll have crazy problems next year. Between the two of us, we'll have things nailed down."
