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.
It's safer at least with a bunch of people in one place, than you by yourself out in a field somewhere. If you're taking a break, you can always sit over in our area just to chill out and talk with people.
[The key was getting him there, and at least just getting him to the gym didn't seem hard. Judo though, at least it's better than basketball. It doesn't take up any significant portions of the gym, or the equipment, so if he has to share with judo? Oikawa will accept it easily.]
It's good to meet you too, Nozaki-kun! Maybe while you relax here, you can make posters to hang up for your own club advertising? [It will keep him out of the hallways, right?]
Yes. [Though, he is just as happy if he could sit and listen to people talk around him. Maybe, he would be able to convince people to join Judo, too. That would be nice to have others involved.]
Oikawa-senpai. [Mayu gives a very small nod, as he always does after certain statements or words.] I suppose that I could. I will not draw anything lewd. [He says as he gets up to start to look for paper and the like to make a poster.]
I didn't think you would, aha.. but if you need help hanging the posters later, some of the best places are near the bathrooms and the obvious bulletin board. Those are going to end up being the most frequented areas.
What do you like about Judo so much? [Actually snagging some paper out of one of the stacks at the front of the room to bring them over, to bring some markers over, Oikawa sets them on Nozaki's desk and ends up giving him a curious look - he might end up making more volleyball posters just to stick around and make sure he doesn't pass out with a marker in his face.
Not that Oikawa was going to marker him up earlier anyway, nah.]
I believe that they are, too. [Which means that is the best place to ensure that he will get some members, maybe?]
What? [Nozaki pauses as he lifts his head up towards the ceiling to think about the answer.] The principles. The connections that are made. [For someone that only exerts energy on the club, it is nice to have friends in it. Even though, said friends occasionally tire him out. He starts to make his poster -- something simple.]
Hmm.. so the people you can be with, in that kind of environment. That's a good reason! Do you like Judo as a sport, or was it mostly still just for the people you were with?
[Picking up a bright red marker, Oikawa is starting one of his own posters in the meantime.]
I like the people who join in afterward. They are good friends. [He pauses between the words 'they' and 'are' like he isn't sure if he should use 'are' or 'were.' He does not know if he is going to be able to be reunited with them. But he tells himself that it will tire himself out to worry and to backburner it until later.]
Yeah, it doesn't entirely matter when they join. When they do join and you've gotten to play together, that's usually the best part. Winning is a great bonus though too.
