i'm 15 i've never played sports but i know how to fight with a sword and defend myself without one i'm in the taekwondo club so i guess you can say i'm athletic i came from a lab
iwaizumi hajime is first! he's our vice captain, and someone i trust with my life, so he's absolutely reliable. i'll be modest and call myself third even.
[There's something concerning in the middle of all that - and it isn't about the Taekwando club. After a minute, another text comes through.]
so you're a fighter, and you came from a lab? mind if i ask what you mean by that? like you grew up in a lab??
[ if he's met people who aren't from earth, the truth shouldn't faze him too much. besides, if he's anything like tsukishima, they probably can't fight anyway. he could take them. ]
i'm sorry though. you're a person, clearly, not a weapon.
so i hope you have fun while learning to play volleyball.
[He may be extremely concerned on this end, he said he was fifteen and a clone weapon?? That's. Wow. This is going to take a little time to wrap his mind around entirely, but he'll have time to just meet the guy.]
[ it surprises him when he reads the text, not expecting oikawa to apologize, or to even go as far as to call him a person. no one's ever called him that and the organization never failed to remind him that he was nothing more than a toy. there's a flicker-flash of bitterness, before it eases into something warmer, a small weight lifted off his shoulders.
[Now, Iwaizumi had told Keisuke to stop by the gym storage room "literally whenever" (or something along those lines) should he ever have something he wanted to ask or just catch up or whatever. Usually that sort of open-endedness would spell disaster for Keisuke, typically a little too hesitant to go out of his comfort zone and actually approach others for such things. But he's been trying really hard to not only make but maintain new friends, and it's been a while since he saw Iwaizumi in the halls or whatever, so...
Here he is. It's several hours after class, and he assumes a lot of people might be drifting around to clubs or maybe to an early dinner. Keisuke's decided to not show up empty-handed, bringing some snacks from the vending machine that he and Rin managed to accumulate. The food hadn't been that lately, so he thought it'd be a good gesture.]
Hey? Hajime? [He calls out as he nears the storage room. He... actually isn't sure he's here. If he's not, he might just text... maybe he should've done that to start out, oops.] You there?
You may have to just experience me to get to know me, Kuro-chan. I'm not something to be expressed in mere words.
[He can't wash his hands well enough in this rainwater to get the stench of trash off him so soon, we need some soap STAT. Flicking his eyes up to grace that inch taller cheshire smile with a wink, Oikawa doesn't move from the challenge Kuroo keeps presenting in the form of invading personal space. It doesn't bother him, so sorry to ruin the fun.]
But I was Aoba Jousai's captain and official setter, and I've been told I'm apparently a monster to play against. I think it's one of the better compliments I've gotten over the years. [Even if he doesn't necessarily agree; what's a beast to a mountain creeping up to crush him between another mountain that stands too tall ahead? He could only just scale the one, the other...]

Date: 2015-07-21 03:57 am (UTC)Don’t worry, it’s mine. Tsukishima’s a good kid. [ And apparently so is Oikawa, if he’s already washing his hands of trash this early in the game… ]
But even he can’t tell me everything, so… [ He’ll just…lean closer ever so casually… ]
Maybe I want to know more about you. [ What’re you gonna tell him, Tooru-chan? Do your worst. ]
