Chapter 29 - Study Date

"I didn't know you were such a science geek Tetsurou-san", Kimiko mused in a hushed tone, watching the middle blocker's face contort into a smug expression from behind the screen as her feet hit a steady rhythm along the sidewalk.

"You never asked. I'm amazingly smart you know", he responded, drying his face with the towel seated around his neck before sitting down onto the metal bleachers of the Nekoma gym.

"I supposed I should've assumed so when you used that pickup line. What was it again? If I had a choice between DNA and RNA, I would choose RNA because it has U in it?" She snickered and Kuroo's face visibly reddened on her phone.

"Oya? I'm surprised you remember", he said with a smirk. "Did you fall for me back then already?" He taunted haughtily, his damp bed hair falling over his forehead as he gave her a a suggestive look .

The fact that they were helping out a rival school member, or the fact that Iwaizumi had the capability to study with Oikawa without exploding in anger.
