The Eyes || (Reader x Various) Haikyuu!!

yellow and black

xx your eyes don't lie. i suppose in some ways that's true, but you could have warned me of what i was about to see, because i haven't been the same ever since. xx

Something was wrong.
Your goosebumps didn't seem to help; your whole body signaled to you that you were right. Your eyes wandered all over the hall as the professor continued to speak at the front, as if nothing had ever happened. Maybe you were the only person who felt the strange change in the air. The temperature around you had changed abruptly and a strange wind blew through the lecture hall, sneaking around you and leaving a strangely cool feeling behind. You trembled slightly and didn't notice that you almost broke the pen in your hand in two.
You looked around carefully, then put the pen onto the paper and tried to listen and take notes. But you were distracted by the student three rows in front of you.
You often stared at his black, protruding hair. Not out of great interest, but simply for the reason that you were staring at everyone every now and then. If the reading became too boring, your gaze fell on someone who looked a little different and often stayed there a little too long. Not infrequently, your eyes were accompanied with questions and since the black-haired male had such an interesting hairdo, you had often caught yourself wondering how tall he was and how many extra inches that hair added to his height. He was one of the guys who passionately played volleyball. He and many others here - after all, the sports program at this university was one of the best. Some other guys in your lecture also played volleyball and seemed popular enough to be noticed by national teams.
Something had changed again.

He leaned casually over the back of the chair now and his left arm was dangling over the back while he his head had turned around. Your breath almost stopped when you realized he was staring at you. Maybe this would not be so peculiar that it made you feel this mixture of emotions, but what you saw when you looked him in the eyes was the second weird discovery of the day. His hazel eyes were often brown-green, but right now, as he looked at you, as if you were the last shape, the only form, the only curve and the last color left on this planet, something changed.
His eyes, although his pupils were small and his eyes feline, seemed to change in front of you while a small black patch of color spread in his right iris and then appeared in his left eye. You had barely exchanged a word with him before, maybe one or two hello's when you met in the corridor, but that wouldn't explain why he was staring at you so intently. His mouth tightened slightly and before you could blink you already saw a smile on his face. The one half of his mouth was pulled up and all this seemed to make him so threatening at the moment that you swallowed hard and broke off the eye contact. Your heart beat so hard that you felt it in your hands and you clung to your pen as if it were the only thing that still connected you to reality. Inside you, there was a nervousness and a fear that he had triggered that shortly thereafter, adrenaline also creeped up. You felt like you were glowing, but your hands were cold.

As already mentioned, this was not the first thing that got you so confused today and although you still wanted to wonder about his eyes - no, you had to! - it didn't work. Your eyebrows were knitted together and your expression left nothing through about your inner tumult.
 

The professor was still talking, and while you had to look over the head of the black-haired male to see the professor; you felt sick...
You tried hard to cling to the normality of this lecture, something that was as normal and commonplace as any other day. The many students in the room were always a comfort to you, which helped you against your loneliness. You prefered the fuller courses where you sat in the midst of so many students that you would never have been able to remember everyone's name. But the name of the black-haired guy literally burned on the tip of your tongue, as if you had to pronounce it, as if you had to realize that he was real and that everything that happened was also real. You almost even said his name outloud, yes, if it weren't for the fact that you felt even more glares on you. Your entire body seemed to know what was going on before your mind did. You trembled, your hands were cold and your heart was pounding in your chest so strong you might have fainted right there and then.

You dropped your head down, staring down at your notepad and at the open and unwritten page. Your hair fell into your forehead and in front of your eyes. So you used your hair as a curtain, peeked carefully through and scanned the room, on the mission to satisfy your curiosity. And you were right.
Tetsurou Kuroo had already turned around again. He was looking at the professor. You couldn't even say if you hadn't maybe imagined all of this, but when you noticed the bottle blonde hair of one of the guys your age, you almost fell out of your chair. He was sitting on the other side where a staircase separated your side with his. He was seated at the back of the hall, had now turned his whole body towards you and was looking at you. His eyes were empty, as empty as Kuroo's were while he was staring at you but at the same time something sparkled in them that made you think.
The dark brown eyes of the blond pulled you into a spell, but you were sure that you only imagined that because you knew that something was wrong with him and that ... annoyed you.

You seemed to be waiting for it. At the same time you wanted to look away, get up and go and never come back. He smiled smugly and as you stared back at him he laughed and you noticed the glinting metal on his tongue that you quickly identified as a tongue piercing.

Your eyes were already burning as you tried not to blink and just when you thought that and almost blinked you would have missed the yellow dot forming in one of his eyes. He was too far away to notice more, so you squinted your eyes to see better. And after a few seconds, you didn't have to anymore because the small dot became a larger one, until the pungent yellow color had settled over his entire iris.

And then he blinked and it was gone.

His crooked smile faded, he turned back to his desk and started writing again. A shiver ran down your spine. It was so surreal that you kept staring at his back. You were unsure if the yellow eye color shocked you more or if it was because he just blinked, turned around and pretended that nothing happened.

You wanted to get up and go to the bathroom. But that would attract everyones attention and you couldn't allow yourself to attract anyone's attention. Not after all that.

And you feared being all alone right now. The halls would be empty so you didn't want to risk anything. You shuddered at the thought of being alone somewhere in this university.

Terushima and Kuroo were guys you had nothing to do with. You didn't know what was going on here but you wouldn't put yourself in unnecessary danger. The aura in this room and the strange wind around you assured you that there was indeed a danger lurking somewhere.

You kept your eyes lowered, just looking at your paper where you lacked any words. You couldn't write. Your thoughts revolved around two colors; yellow and black. And while they didn't let you go, you could have sworn to have heard someone whispering right next to you. But no one in your row had said anything. Everyone was writing or was looking forward and you cringed.

You were getting irritated but then you heard actual words.

"The hunt begins", close to your ear, so close that you could still feel the warm breath and you twitched so hard that you tried to get away. You jumped back and a noise that was heavy with surprise and fear had left your lips.
