Heeey, you've reached the one and only Oikawa Tooru! ♥♥♥♥♥♥
Leave a message and I'll get back to you ASAP (~￣▽￣)~

Or don't leave a message, but I won't call you back!!!

[pinpointing]

Mm. He's just. Upset about hurting people. He might be jokingly violent when getting aggravated, but he's never really... hurt people.

Not like this.

[kissyou]

don't help him and forget about yourself. you wont help anyone that way.

[ He doesn't want to repeat his fight with Sousuke, but Oikawa needs to be reminded. ]

[pinpointing]

I know. When he came to after we got him through the pool, he's been helping me.

[As if to prove it, an image is attached where Oikawa has his good eye shut like he's trying to wink (as if he can wink with one black eye) and flashing that dumb peace sign; there is a thick padded medical patch over his left eye that was wrapped into place with fresh gauze, and the split in his lip is at least starting to finally heal over. Iwaizumi is turned away in the photo, at his back but not interested in participating in selfies.]

See? I'm good.

[kissyou]

That's not a good definition of "good", but I get your point.

Take your time as long as youre safe.

[pinpointing]

Whaaat, it's a great definition! I'm well taken care of.

Yup, we're super safe! You can come visit if you'd like though, we're just in the art room. A short visit, at least.

[kissyou]

i believe you. I'm not going to drop in.

Do your partnerly duty.

[pinpointing]

Partnerly duty?

You're still welcome to visit, seriously! I mean maybe I want to see you and make sure you're okay too.

[pinpointing]

We would get pretty far, but unfortunately we never could get past the finals and be the best of Miyagi prefecture.

[He chuckles with that, smiling, but there's a bitterness to his expression when he shifts to move and settle down - he's just laying in front of him, reaching out to let one arm drape on Rin's shoulder but not to pull him closer. He can come in for warmth as he needs to, Oikawa is just here to keep him company.]

[kissyou]

I'm texting you, aren't I? I couldn't be my bright and pleasing self if I wasn't okay.

[ Well that a lie. He still very well could. The point was he was okay compaired to almost everyone else. ]

DONT B A FAKER KISSCHAN GOSH

[pinpointing]

You are bright and pleasing, it's truuue. Teasing me about partnerly duties and all that.

It's called being a lame best friend and being too attached I want to cry about it sometimes.

DON'T CALL THE KETTLE, POT-CHAN

[kissyou]

I can't be teasing what's right and true, you know

Isn't that the same thing? You're just embarrassed about titles~(⌒▽⌒)☆

sometime after the rescue i guess

[uttertrash]

are you two still alive
sound off

heckie yea

[pinpointing]

We're alive! We just took to the art room for a little bit. Don't miss my warmth too much, Kuro-chan!!

[underlined]

[Of course there is, but whether or not Keisuke will broach the subject is the point of contention. It's still a raw subject with him, something that he had expected to at some point scab over in the weeks (months...) he's been here, but it hasn't.

In the end, he ends up feeling oddly validated by Oikawa's recount. He'd been thinking he was weak in his over-reliance on someone, but maybe that was as little more normal than he thought? He doesn't know.

He nods, is quiet a moment—he feels like prying so much into Oikawa's life without an explanation was rude, so... after a moment of tremulous hesitation,] I - pretty much grew up with someone, and it's... been difficult, so, uh...

[He rubs at the back of his neck, glancing away.] It's - nice hearing it's not just me, I guess...

[uttertrash]

ill get by~
but i guess iwaizumis gonna need some space so i wont ask how long youre gonna be
if he needs another dunk in the pool just call me ok

[koat]

[ Rin wants to tease him about it, light-heartedly as always with someone he likes, but he can sense that bitterness, can understand it, if in somewhat of a different way. So those words don't make it past the thought stage. ] I guess our teams were a lot different in that way. [ It takes him a few subtle moments of indecision before he curls closer. He is, clearly, hesitant to do so, but he'd already allowed himself to seek Oikawa out for comfort in the first place - what's the harm in seeking it in a physical manner as well? ] Isn't there always next time? [ A next fight, a next tournament, a next potential win. ]

[pinpointing]

Mm, there were always next times. The last chance we had, we were beaten finally, so we didn't even get our last rematch against our rivals. At least, our team as it was, doesn't have a next time. There's always college, but it's not quite... the same.

[He's glad when Rin doesn't tease, he could sense it there in the way they just are with each other - instead, Oikawa just smiles when Rin scoots in and he reaches to smooth his hand over his shoulder again, coaxing him in until they were downright cuddling. He curls up with Iwaizumi like this all the time, so it doesn't even phase him as being something strange.]

[pinpointing]

Yeah, I'll text every day so you guys know we're fine though.

Haaaha, yeah. I'll let you know.

So how are you feeling? Hows your neck, I mean.

[pinpointing]

It's just part of our friendship~

[Snorting at the ruffling and squinting with water droplets going everywhere, Oikawa shakes his head and reaches up to comb all of his hair back now to fix it from what the ruffle possibly ruined of his hairstyle. Not that this was going to look any better, it was now just a fluffy mess - this is why Oikawa was grateful he had a hairbrush in his things. Combing it out with his hands now to try and get it less fluffy, he gave Kuroo a cheeky sort of smile.]

It feels a little like you're suddenly curious about us, is it just because we hadn't gotten to meet before? [Or are you a nosy busybody like I am.]

[uttertrash]

[ He looks a lot cuter with his hair all messed up, though… ]

Maybe a little bit of both… [ Gotta update the burn book after all, Regina George. That, and it’s hard not to be curious about the kind of relationship that prompts a guy to beat you up for getting the other half in an accident. Most people would just brush it off since he was out of his mind, but this… ]

I got a friend who’s kind of a buzzkill, too. [ Oh, Kenma. ]

[uttertrash]

looking forward to it then
but i'm fine [ Mostly ]
gotta admit i wasnt expecting him to be that good [ It hurts even worse than the time Zoomy stepped on him, man… ]

[koat]

[ It makes him feel... vulnerable, admittedly, curling up with someone like this and speaking about their respective teams while he's feeling so thrown off-kilter and emotional. Rin doesn't move away though, can't bring himself to just yet. ] Yeah, you won't have the same people, so it isn't really... your team anymore. [ He mumbles it to himself mostly, but their close proximity makes it easy for Oikawa to hear him. ] That time is lost, you can't get it back.

[pinpointing]

[He could imitate that bedhead hairstyle but that might be too attractive, he has to turn some of his charm down or he'd have too many suitors all at once, you know?

Oikawa lets out a little laugh though at the word, buzzkill, and when he manages enough of hairstyle to resemble his usual one, he plants his hands on his hips and gives Kuroo a wide grin.]

Haa? Is that so? Childhood or otherwise, and while I can't exactly prove anything, Iwa-chan isn't so much a buzzkill as just easy to piss off. He's really a fun loving guy, when he's with the right crowd. Right now he's just being everyone's mother, so he ends up worrying about literally everyone he has met.

[pinpointing]

I'll send pics even!! (ゝω･)ﾉ

If you say so~ I was going to offer my pillow for you if you needed something to prop your head on!

Well, he has been doing those lessons since... probably the first month we got here? He has known Dal Dal-chan for a while. By the way, if you do initiation to join her classes, prepare to get (mostly) naked. I'm trying to imagine if she did the same thing to Iwa-chan that she did to me.

SCUSE U ARE U PICKIN A FITE WIH ME

[pinpointing]

Ah, now you're just making cute jokes! Or being sarcastic - of course you can tease about correct facts!

Whaaaat, I'm not embarrassed at all!! Titles are great, titles are fun!
