I'm assuming normal pests until I'm shown whatever creepy things this school could possibly have. Bugs, rats, you know? It's just easier. [IT'S JUST LESS STRESSFUL TO THINK ABOUT GIANT PLANT MONSTERS OK. Puffing a sigh and moving to stand, Oikawa is fishing out his phone to start scaling through the numbers.]
Now where is Iwa-chan, which number is it so I can text you whenever I please...
[Easier, but not necessarily smarter. While Oikawa might wish to play pretend, he'll consider the awful possibilities and keep quiet about it for now. At least until the truth comes out.]
You... [God, how frustrating.] ...shouldn't need to ask. [He's met someone before and found out that numbers seem to automatically update, but he hadn't thought about the abnormal amount of texts he'll probably get later.
He's also still thinking about the date that's on there too, but he doesn't bring that up.]
[He's going to get an obnoxious amount of texts at all hours, especially when they are apart. Almost chuckling about that 'shouldn't need to ask', he would be commenting about how new phones are different numbers, but his eyes are actually sliding across the date and pausing.
Ah.]
Iwa-chaaan? [No, wait, he's texting anyway, he is texting this and taking his time.]
[It could lead to a number of things, no matter what Oikawa's up to on his screen right now. He's already putting his phone on the table though, preparing himself for whatever he decides to send.
He's still not certain everything matches, Seth's phone was only one in a bunch.]
[You should join volleyball. Come play volleyball, tall kid.
Shaking his head lightly and turning Mayu around to put his hands on his shoulders, Oikawa walks him a bit further down the hall - which classroom is he supposed to be in? Who knows, Oikawa is putting him in whatever is closest. Looks like it's 1-A.]
Nooo, don't say that. It's never okay. Have some self confidence! Don't let the world use you as a doormat!
[It just takes a lot to argue. He didn't argue about his brother leaving home even though he was adamantly against it, and thinking on it now, he realizes that it wouldn't have changed anything. Umetarou would have moved out because that is what he wanted. All the reasons were good and he had the means to be able to live on his own.
It's certain truths like that which has him say that he should just give up on something, but it's also just too much work.]
Ha? No, I'm joining volleyball. You could join volleyball too, you're tall enough! I think you would do well!
[Into the classroom and walking him to a seat, Oikawa pulls one out to make him sit in it instead of flop across a desk - would he really do that, is he really that tired - he pats his shoulders then.]
Or if you really want to keep doing judo, you could come to the gym at least and do your own workouts there. There's enough room, I'm sure. [Just getting him to the gym is a good start to getting him to maybe try volleyball.] Say, what's your name anyway? I'm Oikawa Tooru!
[Mayu lightly shakes his head at the idea of him joining volleyball club.] I do not have the time. There is running, then practice, then reviewing, then -- there is a lot to do.
[But he still takes his seat.] That is where I will go. It will probably be safe there. Everyone going to be in one place. Either safe or easier. [For what, one wonders.] I am Mayu Nozaki. It is a pleasure to meet you.
I knooow. I'll be making better posters later. Are you interested in any of them, by the way? Or are you just staring the symbols down waiting for them to make sense too?
[Since he's done fussing with other posters, Oikawa is capping his marker to curiously look at this guy; he's tall enough, he could do volleyball probably. Actually, it's with another look that he wonders if he's actually in high school..]
Hmm, so kendo for you... there's all these other clubs that people keep wanting to join.
[He's letting out this puff of a sigh, but there really isn't anything wrong with kendo; again, it's better than basketball. He doesn't dislike the sport, he'd be pretty good at it if he wanted to be, but too many people join it for not having other options.]
What makes you want to start a kendo club then? Is it just what you did back home? [Kendo. Was he a kendo instructor maybe? Kendo would be easier than volleyball with that height, he supposes; sorry Saitou, this loser stands at 184cm. Looking down on a sensei isn't that new though.]
No, but it's okay to hope she is just for your sake. Really, familiar faces mean a lot to someone, I can guarantee that it would be... calming. And if she is here, she'd definitely want to know that you're okay.
[Shhh, he will be doing his best not to get beat up by girls, okay?! Half stepping a little in front of her when some students pass them in the hall, Oikawa might be getting thumped into a bit, but it's nothing for the taller boy - and it reinforces that he's sure Hina-chan would have outright been stepped into had she been alone.
I don't think leaving is an option, they're spraying outside for pests... and leaving during that seems like a baaad idea.
[He doesn't want to dash her hopes that he is certain they're too far for a simple train ride home, as much as he'd like the idea. Her expression is more than concerning though, and Oikawa ends up planting a hand on her shoulder to give her a reassuring smile.]
Things will be okay! Come on, let's go get something to eat and calm down, it's easier to think on a full stomach, right? [Come on, remember the name. He knows where she's from now, he's seen the name on the charts under manager, she's a helping manager? Learning, she looks like a first year. Hi..something. H. Y. is what he remembers, shoot.]
[She's doomed to be H.Y. forever. It's sort of cool, like a secret alias :E
Yachi wonders what kind of pests those are... She doesn't like bugs, so she doesn't mind staying inside a bit longer anymore.]
R-right! You're right, let's do that.
[She's smiling, expecting Oikawa to lead the way, but the smile is a bit strained. All of this happening at once, she didn't feel like eating all that much. Her stomach felt weird, like she was so anxious she was sick-- on the other hand, maybe it felt weird because it was empty and she was actually starving?? Does she want to eat or does she want to throw up???? It all felt the same.
[Really, he's not going to let her eat anything heavy. Fruit and water are the way to go when ones really freaking out. Easily leading her along the hallways back the way he knows should lead to the cafeteria, Oikawa ends up slowing to a stop and grimacing with the way he sees that the hallway is completely different than it was earlier. Fishing in his pocket, reading over some scribbled notes, he turns around with his arm on her shoulder again to guide her into following once more.]
Ah. Made a wrong turn! [He could explain about how the hallways change, but Yachi doesn't need the added stress.] Sorry, we need to backtrack a little.
There is truly nothing I can teach you new about tossing.
[The only thing left would be how to communicate more efficiently, and like fuck is he going to explain that to the birdbrain. It's not a thing to teach, that is something Kageyama will have to learn on his own, honestly - and Refreshing-kun seemed to be doing such a fine job at it, from how the result of that second match turned out. So he leaves it at that.
Extending his stride to walk right past Kageyama then, Oikawa passes him quickly to continue down the hall. Maybe he's wrong, maybe this really is the right way to the gym again.]
But it's good you've seen that you have room to improve, Tobio-chan~
[ she shows no reaction at being called a cute girl, other than squinting a bit. this better not be the only reason why he's doing this. she watches him closely as he eats, alternating between the slice of pizza and Oikawa's face ]
[It might be a great reason why he's doing this; look, a cute girl has to monitor him, that means she has to hang out with him. Whether he keels over or not, he gets to spend some time with her.]
So far, it tastes pretty normal. [Oikawa is making sure not to eat like a slob at least, finishing that slice quickly enough and wiping his fingers with a napkin, then his mouth.]
