Can We Keep It Together {Haikyuu Fanfic}

Chapter 8 ~ Annoyance

Iwaizumi POV

Oikawa scoffs and grins at me as we walk over, "You're going down." I roll my eyes. "In your dreams Shittykawa" he smirks. We missed the first few days of training and right off the bat we are starting off with conditioning. I talked to a few of the guys and they said this exercise is pretty brutal. We line up and they signal for us to go.

———————————————————————

It takes quite a while before I actually feel my legs. I'm pretty out of breath but know I can go on for a while. Oikawa is still next to me. Our pace has been the same the entire time. "Getting tired?" I ask, losing some breath. Oikawa breaths hard and shakes his head. "I could go all day." I scoff and begin running faster passing him slightly. My sudden change only causes him to increase his speed.

We go at it for a while before I collapse onto my knees catching my breath. Oikawa makes it a little ahead of me before collapsing as well. Out of breath, he turns to me, "Ha, I beat you." I roll my eyes resting my head on the floor. Yachi brings us water and we walk over to the bench. Oikawa can't stop smirking. "You mad Iwa-chan?" I scoff not answering. Oikawa laughs, pissing me off even more. "I'll get you back for this." He hums not saying anything. I'm using all my self-control to not punch him in the face.

Practice ends soon and we all head back to the cabin for some well needed food and rest. I take a quick shower. When I get out of the shower I'm greeted by Oikawa's stupid smirk he has kept since he won. "Stop grinning Shittykawa."

"Why should I?"

"If you don't I'll smack you." He frowns which pleases me.

"So mean Iwa-chan." I roll my eyes and dry my hair as he jumps in the shower. I scoff, god why does he get on my nerves so much lately. It's like he is trying to piss me off more than usual.

———————————————————————-

It feels like a hundred degrees even when the sun is down. Oikawa is reading a book on his bed while I just lie on mine trying to cool off. I groan and sit up walking to the window and opening it, gaining his attention. "Why is it so god damn hot!" I complain slightly leaning out the window.

"Because it's summer." He says bluntly. I scoff and roll my eyes seeing the volleyball sitting on our floor. I walk over and pick it up, heading towards the door. "Want some company?" He asks, putting his book down. I pause at the door, "sure." I say without thinking, he grins and quickly follows me out. We walk towards a volleyball net someone set up in the parking lot. I toss him the ball and he grins setting the perfect spike for me. I slam it down hard feeling the anger I built up all day. I'm not sure where all this anger is coming from but I'm sick of it.

"Wow, I didn't know you had that in you when we aren't playing a game," I grunt and get the ball. He sets it and I smack it down even harder. My breathing is slightly heavy as I look to the ground trying to get rid of my built-up anger. Oikawa grabs the ball and approaches me. "You ok Iwa?" He asks. I scoff and take a deep breath. "Fine." I say looking back up towards the next. He looks at me unsure but goes to set me another ball.

Spike after spike I hit with as much power as I can, slightly yelling each time. I'm very out of breath now. I squat down looking at the pavement attempting to catch my breath when I feel Oikawa's presence over me. "Stand up." He demands. I grunt and stand up shooting him a glare. "Why are you so pissed? Is it from me taunting my win?" I roll my eyes and shrug. He just looks at me waiting for an actual answer. I sigh looking away. "Look I've just been on edge ok so fuck off." I reach for the ball but he pulls it away. "Why are you on edge?"

I grit my teeth slightly deciding to give my real answer. "I don't know you've just been pissing me off lately." He tilts his head, taking my answer with no surprise. "Hehe, didn't know I could affect you this much Iwa." I clench my first trying so hard not to hit him. He just smirks. "I'll stop messing with you if it will make you chill out." I roll my eyes but release my clenched fists. I look him in the eye and he smiles. "5 more?" He asks, showing me the ball. I scoff, "whatever." He walks back over and starts to serve again. This time, when I hit it some of my anger fades. I'm not sure if it's all because of him. I think I'm mainly pissed at myself for some reason. Either way it's a lot easier to just blame him.

———————————————————————

Back in our room, I open my computer and begin to search for something to watch. "Feel better?" He asks me. I let out a grunt as a response, looking through possible shows to watch. Suddenly I feel Oikawa's presence on my bed. "What are you doing." He asks, looking at my computer. "Choosing a show to watch." I bluntly state scrolling down. He points to one on the screen and I stop. Banana Fish. I sigh and click on it. He smiles with excitement and leans back on my bed. I relax a little and lean next to him. I start the show with no complaints. Why do I just go with what he says? Why did I feel better when I saw him smile? Why do I feel... weird?

———————————————————————

We watch Tv until about 2 in the morning, Oikawa crying next to me. He chose a pretty depressing show.

The show comes to an end and I've gotta say I was very close to tears. Oikawa on the other hand is completely sobbing. He hides his face in his pillow and I close the computer. I place it on my desk and shake him slightly. "Come on time to sleep." He ignores me and collapses on my bed.

"That was fucking awful."

"You chose it." I chuckle slightly and climb into bed knowing that I couldn't convince him to move if I wanted to. "Go to sleep Shittykawa."

"Fine fine... night Iwa."

"Night."
