"So..." My face is flaming as Oikawa holds me like a prize he's won in front of the other third-years, all of whom are making ridiculous faces trying to hold in their laughter. All of them except Yuda, that is. Yuda is making a ridiculous face due to anger.

"You see... the thing is..." I try again, but my stuttering breaks Iwaizumi's innocently calm facade and he snorts a laugh.

And once Iwaizumi breaks, so does everyone else. Snorts and guffaws echo around the table as the boys pointlessly continue trying to keep from laughing out loud. But each time one of them falters, another laughs even louder.

I grit my teeth, wanting more than anything to get out of this embarrassing situation, but just getting more and more fed up with their show of pretending not to laugh. Finally, I yell, "Hey! Can you guys just shut up for two seconds?!"

Unfortunately, my outburst only fuels their fire. All five of them immediately abandon any inhibition, laughing until they're absolutely howling.

Iwaizumi pounds his fist on the table as he throws his head back to laugh. "Lily! I told you to stop being so stubborn! Not to ditch your pride and cater to Oikawa's every whim!"

I scramble to get out of Oikawa's arms in my fury, so I can punch Iwaizumi as hard as he deserves it. Or harder. My flailing catches Oikawa by surprise and I manage to get my feet on the ground. But I don't make it more than a step before Oikawa's arms wrap around me and drag me to a halt.

"Ignore them, Lil-chan. They're just jealous," Oikawa sniffs haughtily.

"I really didn't see this coming, Lily," Hanamaki leans back with a hand on his stomach, trying to calm his laughter. "I mean, I thought you two would get together of course, but I thought it would be because we finally found someone who can handle how much of an idiot he is," Makki throws a lazy gesture at Oikawa. Then he looks at me and raises his eyebrows, his mouth twisting with more held-in laughter. "I never thought it would be because you were actually a fangirl in disguise."

His comment sends everyone into hysterical laughter again.

"You—!"

This time, Oikawa slaps a hand over my mouth, muffling the profanities I'm shouting as I try to lunge at Makki against Oikawa's hold. "Now, now," His voice is calm despite the obvious physical effort he's exerting to restrain me. "Let's all play nice."

Matsukawa draws in a deep breath and stands. "You're right. I'm sorry, Lily. And I apologize on their behalf as well."

I glare at him over Oikawa's hand that's still covering my mouth. Rich words coming from a guy who was also busting a gut laughing at me not thirty seconds ago. He always tries to come to my rescue much too late. It must be a bad habit of his.

He walks around the table to us and pats me on the head. "We're happy for you two. Why don't you say what you were trying to tell us?"

"Yeah, Lily!" Iwaizumi practically cackles. "Tell us!"

I turn my glare on him and say a few more things that are muffled by Oikawa's hand. But it seems like everyone's laughter is dying down. Even Yuda no longer looks angry, but has a slight smile on his face.

And in spite of myself, I can't help but laugh inwardly. Of course this situation would turn into an opportunity for us to pick a fight. I'm embarrassed by the whole thing, but I know the guys are only teasing me like this because we're all good friends. They wouldn't act so out of control otherwise. I grin behind Oikawa's fingers.

Oikawa yanks his hand off my mouth with a yelp and staggers away from me.

Everyone's laughter ceases as we turn to look at him.
