It was (Y/N)'s turn to come to the boys' classroom again and she brought snacks instead of a full course meal her mom packed. (Y/N)'s mom didn't have time to make food for them and (Y/N) was most definitely not going to spend time making food for the boys who would most likely not appreciate the hard work she put into it.

"Iwa, Oikos, you guys here?"

"Over here," Iwaizumi's voice responded and (Y/N) saw him armwrestling with the dog-boy again. The crowd was thick but left an opening for (Y/N) to squeeze in and take her seat.

She sat next to Kyotani and watched the two arm wrestle. "Hey, Puppy, if you pull him more towards you, it'll make it more difficult to fight against you. It's easier to win that way than pulling to the side."

The blond's face glared at the girl for thinking he wouldn't be able to beat the elder. His teeth clenched and grinded at the struggle of trying to fight Iwaizumi's strength that didn't look like he was struggling.

"Puppy, you're not gonna listen to your elder? I'm trying to help you here. You just gotta curl your wrist and pull towards yourself. Here," (Y/N) said as she guided Kyotani's hand with a feather touch. Her unwanted involvement stirred whines of disapproval from the crowd of boys but it was ignored easily.

"Hey, (Y/N/N), you're not on Iwa's side? That's so cold of you," Oikawa teased as he ate his lunch.

Sure enough, Kyotani's hand was pulling Iwaizumi's hand and it seemed like he was going to win. The dog boy didn't hide his excitement and pure hope that he could win.

"Look, see? Already improvement," (Y/N) said with an obvious pleased tone to her voice.

"As if," Iwaizumi said and he pulled Kyotani's hand back and won with ease. The crowd yelled in a series of excitement and disappointment then dispersed.

Unbeknownst to him, (Y/N) saw his angry look like that of a pouting dog that had its bone taken from him. She thought it was funny and wanted to tease him.

"Aw, it's okay, Puppy. Want a snackie wackie?" She asked as she waved a bag of chips in front of his face.

Kyotani snarled at the girl but snatched the chips from her hands and ate away angrily. She pat the boy's head like the puppy she saw in him and he looked like he would bite her.

"Hey, (Y/N/N), don't get him angry! He's gonna take it all out on me during practice," Oikawa whined.

"Good. Considering your recent behavior, you deserve it, Oikos," (Y/N) teased Oikawa with an immature tongue pointed in his direction.

"You play around too much, you deserve the punishment," Iwaizumi said as he ate his snack.

"You too, Iwa?" Whined Oikawa even more after hearing his childhood friend say so heartlessly.

Iwaizumi ignored Oikawa and was distracted by how close (Y/N) was to Kyotani. She had thrown her arm over the boy's shoulders as he ate the chips angrily. Oikawa nudged Iwaizumi playfully only to get a smack upside the head.

"Anyways, Iwawawawawa...wa... I got lost in the wa's, sorry," (Y/N) started but trailed off at Iwaizumi's name.

"I swear you just add more and more to Iwa's name," Oikawa teased but earned chips in response that hit his face.

"Iwa, you guys have practice today, right? Are you still training this puppy?" (Y/N) asked as she threw her arm over Kyotani's shoulders. Kyotani tried pushing her off but she shoved pepero sticks in his face and he reluctantly gave up.

"Wha—(Y/N/N) why didn't I get pepero?" Oikawa whined in disbelief as the younger boy chewed on a stick.

"Because you don't have puppy eyes. You've got... shitty eyes," (Y/N) replied as she pointed to Oikawa's eyes then to Kyotani's eyes. "See, you've ingrained into my brain that he is a dog and now I see him as a puppy. Look at him, he's just a baby."

(Y/N) pinched Kyotani's cheek and shoved a wafer in his mouth before he could do anything. Oikawa was the only one who noticed the sour expression on Iwaizumi's face when she did that. Kyotani rubbed his cheek and glared at the girl who smiled back at him. The younger boy's heart skipped a beat seeing her bright smile.

"You know, the more you frown the more wrinkles you'll have. But since it's already too late for you, you should just smile more. It'll give you smile lines instead of grumpy lines," (Y/N) said as she poked Kyotani's cheek as he chewed.

He swat her hand away as Oikawa said, "Funny you say that, (Y/N/N). I remember saying the exact same thing to you four years ago."

(Y/N)'s face flushed in embarrassment but she stuck her tongue out at Oikawa nonetheless. "I don't have to hear that from you, Shittykawa."

"'Shittykawa'? You've been hanging around Iwa too much," Oikawa whined.

"Please, I'm the one that coined the term," (Y/N) said as she happily fed Kyotani more snacks and smiling at his intent to hide his happiness.

"Hey, how much of our snacks are you gonna give to Mad Dog?" Oikawa asked as he snatched the bag holding the snacks.

(Y/N) gasped and snatched back the snack bag. "How dare you take the snacks from the puppy? Look at this distraught face!"

(Y/N) cupped the boy's face to show his murderous intent that in no way expressed the emotion she mentioned. The boy growled at her as he said, "Quit touching me."

(Y/N) quickly grabbed the boy and held him in her bosom and pet him slowly. "Shhh, Puppy. It's okay, I'll take care of Oikos," she turned back to Oikawa to say, "See what you've done? He's lashing out."

The boy froze in her hold and a blush began to form. The heat in his cheeks were visible to the other two boys but remained unknown to the girl. Oikawa smirked at Iwaizumi's expression and enjoyed it a little too much. After all, this was all too priceless in Oikawa's eyes.

"What is he, 5?" Iwaizumi asked with more annoyance in his voice than he intended.

Kyotani felt his face flush more at the realization that the person he admired witnessed his situation. He tried pushing her away but her iron mother's grip proved to be stronger. Not like he wanted to fight it anymore. Something about the way she was petting his head made him want to stay in her arms longer.

"Puppy~ don't listen to Oikos. He's just a spoiled tub of Greek yogurt. You're my little puppy, okay?" (Y/N) said as she squished Kyotani's cheeks in between her hands and cooed at him like a grandmother.

"Okay...," Kyotani mumbled then earned a wafer as a reward.

"Good boy," (Y/N) teased and pat his head.

"Spoiled? I'm wonderful, (Y/N/N). Why can't you and Iwa see that?"

All three looked at Oikawa with expressions that didn't need explaining. Oikawa whined and said, "Stop picking on me!"
