good boy

[For as childish as the request ended up being, Oikawa waited patiently in the storage room with papers scattered around him and some textbooks out - might as well try to make heads and tails of it after all, right? There was some wait about being scolded for sending Kageyama out to get a damn cupcake, but he ... should. Be fine. Should be.]

[pinpointing]

[The storage room door opens and it's not exactly the person he's looking for who sticks his head out, but Oikawa can't go and ignore that someone is calling for Iwaizumi by name, and it's with a bright sort of smile that he opens the door more completely, now that he can see the stranger doesn't look threatening.]

Ah, hellooo~ Iwa-chan isn't here right now, but he'll be back soon probably if you want to wait for him. Are you a new friend?

[servesup]

_{[It's a lucky day, if only for one reason - he managed to procure a cupcake from the dessert section of the cafeteria and secondly made it back to the storage room without any harm coming to him. He practically ran there and back and so he's a little out of breath when he knocks and opens the door, muttering his arrival.]}

Oikawa-san, I got you a cupcake.

[pinpointing]

[You are probably the dumbest child to ever be and yet Oikawa can't help the bit of a genuine smile crossing his face when he hears that knocking. He still would say he hates him, would admit to only Iwaizumi that he still fears that mountain that will - has - overcome him one day. But there's less to be angry about, to be jealous and hateful about, when he needs to be sure they all come out of this alive.

So he sets his things aside and moves to stand to greet him by the door.]

... Thanks, Tobio-chan.

[servesup]

_{[The cupcake is handed over without much fanfare as Kageyama gives the older boy a small nod.]}

You're welcome.

_{[There's not much else he can do or say. Even if Oikawa is a jerk he does deserve to have an okay birthday. Especially in a place like this.]}

[pinpointing]

[Oikawa looks down and mildly inspects the cupcake - chocolate with chocolate frosting, probably too much chocolate for him to enjoy entirely, but. He never specified, so he isn't going to complain. Picking at the wrapper to pull some of it down, he turns away to take a big bite.]

Good choice~ [Half of it is going to get saved, but the first bite is certainly his for being a birthday boy.]

[servesup]

_{[He hadn't bothered to ask what Oikawa's preference of flavour would be, simply because he hadn't expected there to be cupcakes in the first place. Thankfully he seems to enjoy it.]}

It was the only kind they had.

[underlined]

[He was aware that the gym storage room was shared with quite a number of people, but... he hadn't really anticipated running into someone else. It had been a lapse in good judgment, actually, and that was something that happened often enough with Keisuke. He meant well, and he could have moments of acuity, but he was often slow on the uptake.

He doesn't recognize the guy, but he appears to be of an age with Iwaizumi (and Keisuke, roughly, give or take a few years). And he must know him if he was calling him—"Iwa-chan." In a way, Keisuke can't even understand what that means in full cultural sense. His generation had their family names stripped from them, the kanji from their names rendered down into katakana, and honorifics as a whole fell out of use.

It was the reason he accidentally defaulted to Iwaizumi's name, actually. It felt strange to use a family name instead when, for the most part, they had no place in the world he came from.]

Oh, uh, okay. [He stops some short distance away from the door to the storage room. He fears whatever smile he might muster now would look utterly forced, so he goes without.] I - guess so? I met him when we first arrived here... we're in the same homeroom.

[pinpointing]

[Oikawa might be annoying, but kids. Don't deserve to hear that kind of crap. No one does, but especially kids, and while Oikawa might only be a few years older? Hell no is he reinforcing such a thing. Everyone here is a person.]

its not, but if you ever need a reminder of how much a person you are, i can pump you up with words as much as you need it, ok?

glad to hear it! i'll see you soon then!! (o´ω`o)ﾉ

[uttertrash]

[ That first one just about tells him all he needs to know. Damn, this guy’s a definite challenge, even if he’s already since lost to the Karasunos.

Kuroo decides that he probably shouldn’t underestimate the guy. ]

Another setter, huh? Guess you could say I’m a pretty big fan of those. [ But of course, he wouldn’t be able to stop himself from making comparisons between him and Kageyama later on. At least he didn’t go for Ushiwaka? ]

[pinpointing]

Are you really? I guess, since as a middle blocker, it's our job to trick you.

[Shaking his hands out again and then turning to face Kuroo better, Oikawa smiles even warmer when he steps in just this bit closer - and uses the front of his shirt to dry his hands by placing them on his chest like he's going to lean in.]

But you're going to have to learn how to hit a toss from Tobio-chan, he's our official setter here.

[And then he's moving away, dipping his much drier hands into his own pockets and leaning back into the doorway, lightly shifting his weight onto his (good) leg and hooking his foot around to set his toes on the floor behind his heel.]

So do you have any other questions?

[pinpointing]

[How curious - the guy looks a bit confused, but then again, Oikawa did probably catch him pretty offguard. Leaning in the doorway with a mild chuckle, waving his hand as if to say you're fine, you're fine!!, he nods with what is being said to acknowledge he is understanding.]

So you're definitely a new friend! Lucky lucky, getting to be in his homeroom, I really wanted to be but there's no such thing as homeroom transfers here. So what's your name, I'm Oikawa Tooru! If you're not in a rush, really, please feel free to hang out until he gets back. [I really hate being left alone please stay.]

[replicates]

[ reading his texts reminds him a lot of sora. wasn't he saying almost the same thing before he left? that he can have the freedom to find himself, not that he's no longer tied to the organization.

he knows he may never see sora again, but a part of him that still hasn't completely shaken off the illusion -- the small part of him that still thinks he's riku -- misses him. ]

its fine i got it

[ once a tsun, always a tsun. ]

see you.

[pinpointing]

[What a tsuntsun dere.]

heeh okay okay, see you soon, cassius!!

[uttertrash]

[ My my. He does so wonder how this guy can fare against Kenma. But he’ll worry about that on the court, he guesses. Right now, he’s still trying to figure out Oikawa as a person, seeing as how that prior angle to provocation hadn’t worked out in the way he’d expected.

Not that that’s a bad thing or anything. But he can’t get a proper read on this guy, and that vexes him a little. ]

Yeah. [ His gaze lifts from those hands to meet Oikawa’s eyes once more. He’s not worried about poor little Tobio-chan, oh no. ]

When’s our next date?

VIA ZOOMY'S PHONE

[uttertrash]

ur hot
xoxoxoxo :*

[pinpointing]

im too hot ☆～（ゝ。∂）
but ty for noticing!!

[pinpointing]

[It really would be interesting, going up against Nekoma's setter. He's not nearly as flashy as handfuls of others he's met, he's the quiet type - perceptive, is what Oikawa would say after meeting. Where to break Nekoma's connection though, that would be the tricky part and certainly a challenge Oikawa would gladly take on. Unfortunately, neither will get to see each others true lineup unless they went home, so there's not much more to think on it than that.]

Really, already asking for a second one? How about I text you and let you know when I'm free.

[Oikawa can keep playing along with these "dates" easily, Kuroo isn't giving him that much of a challenge at this point. If all it is are questions like these, he really is going to have to try harder.]

[catenate]

wat the fck

[pinpointing]

iwachan im glad you admitted my hotness!
but i already know im pretty hot so you dont have to?
