Kyouhaba day 3: sports swap
Kyoutani was leaning a wall and staring at a certain tennis player who’s having a practice at the moment, while his baseball team is having an individual practice right now. He was just running back to dorm room when he was mesmerize by that tennis player and decided to watch the match until-
“Kyoutani? What are you doing here?” said by his fellow teammate Iwaizumi
“I-err” Kyoutani was surprised the way that Iwaizumi called him maybe he didn’t notice his presence at all and Iwaizumi just raised his right brow being speculate to him.
“Okay, what are you watching?”
“Hmm tennis club’s practice match”
“Ohh, who’s playing?” Iwaizumi turns his head to see Yahaba playing against Oikawa and his mind goes blank.
“Game set match. Oikawa six games to four” the umpire called and that practice match is over.
“Fufufuu you need to train more on your backhand more Yahaba” as Oikawa went to him and shake hands.
“Y-yes” then Oikawa turns to see Iwaizumi watching him play.
“Oh~ Iwa-chan!!! You came here to see me play? Aww how sweet of you!” Then he runs to meet Iwaizumi with company.
“The hell I’m not even watching you!! Go away Shittykawa!” Iwaizumi wanting to leave as soon as he saw Oikawa and Kyoutani was like ‘hmm I’m here though’
“Ahh hmm I wonder who’s the guy next to you, Iwa-chan?” Glaring at Kyoutani like a dangerous predator-type and approaching him deadly, but the latter just stare at him.
“Cut it out, Assikawa. It’s my teammate Kyoutani. You should go back to the court now, idiot.” Iwaizumi hits Oikawa at the back of his head that is hard enough to shoo Oikawa from him and Kyoutani.
“Hmph! I’m watching you.” Points at Kyoutani and waves back to Iwaizumi then returned to his club activities.
“Ah, sorry about that. He’s always been like that since grade school.”
“It’s okay, I guess? He’s not that terrifying though.”
“Haha right. Why don’t we return to our practice too?” Kyoutani nods and follows his senpai, but before that he look back at the tennis court to catch a glimpse of Yahaba.
Back at the tennis court, Oikawa oversees his teammates while his coach is not around. Yahaba approaches Oikawa to seek advice to his training regime.
“H-hm Oikawa-san, I need to talk about my training menu if that’s okay?”
“Ah~ Yahaba” Oikawa turns to look at Yahaba, he’s not cheerful as he was before.
“What’s wrong Yahaba?” Of course the second year noticed that Oikawa is not in the mood right now probably because of what he saw earlier.
“Oikawa-san, it’s okay. You’re in a bad mood today, what happened?”
“Hoo~ Yahaba is interested on me now?” With clear mischievous tone in Oikawa’s voice, Yahaba shivered and it is best just to leave him now, but he can’t avoid that. That’s why he further ask questions.
“I-it’s not what you think it is, but w-what are you doing with Iwaizumi-senpai and Kyoutani?” Yahaba stuttered and scratches the back of his neck while avoiding Oikawa’s gaze.
“Well, I don’t have any choice now right? After our practice match, I went to Iwa-chan and greeted him but then I saw him with Kyoutani then I was-” he was cut by Yahaba who guessed that Oikawa’s jealousy.
“I don’t think Kyoutani loves Iwaizumi-senpai the way you do, Oikawa-san.” Then the sulking captain stares Yahaba.
“I m-mean, He’s your boyfriend and probably Kyoutani admires Iwaizumi-senpai as his captain in their team.”
“Of course! If he ever laid on Iwa-chan I’ll crush his head!” Yahaba nervously sweats around Oikawa’s sudden change of mood.
“Anyway, why you’ve been defending on Kyoutani a lot? Hmm~?” Oikawa smirks at Yahaba that he thought he wouldn’t noticed it at first while Yahaba is blushed and avoided Oikawa’s question.
“It is possible that you like Kyoutani, am I right?”
“H-h-huh?! What are you talking about Oikawa-san?”
“See? Why don’t you confess already? You’ve been the same class since first year though? And you didn’t noticed that he was here watching our practice game? Probably staring at you the whole time.”
“Ah! There it is! Pessimistic Yahaba!” Oikawa shouted that the other members can hear.
“What are you saying, Oikawa-san?!” Yahaba panicked since their club members are now watching them. Oikawa pats Yahaba’s head and whispered
“You don’t know what happens until you try” Oikawa winks at him and approaches the team to continue to practice.
“What the hell was that, Oikawa?” Hanamaki approaches Oikawa after the latter shouted at Yahaba.
“Makki! I was just giving some love advice to our dear pessimistic kouhai” he winks at hanamaki.
“Cut it out, it’s disgusting, Hanger”
“Ow, it hurts Makki! I did set you up with Mattsun!”
“You did not, we started dating ever since first year, idiot”
“Is it because we went to same middle school? Unlike someone there, it takes them to date in high school even if they’re childhood friends.” Hanamaki smugly said.
“S-shut up! It takes time, place, and occasion.” Oikawa was embarrassed to say even though they’re childhood friends it takes him years to ask Iwaizumi out.
“Whatever you say, Hanger-san” when Oikawa wanted to retort their coach returned and yells at them for slacking of, meanwhile Yahaba thought it hard if he’s going to ask him or not.
In the other side, Kyoutani and Iwaizumi went to train like lifting weights until-
“I think that’s it for today, we should go back to dorms or go running if you want?”
“I think of going running for now, Iwaizumi-senpai”
“Ohh? Then I’ll come with you.” Kyoutani steps outside to run but Iwaizumi had something to say.
“Say, you were watching that match because of Yahaba right?” Kyoutani almost trips himself when Iwaizumi mentions Yahaba.
“Nothing in particular, but I almost see you at the tennis court when we have our individual training.”
Kyoutani didn’t respond back, maybe because he’s surprised that his senpai noticed him all the time or perhaps he knows that he likes Yahaba.
“Heh. Wouldn’t hurt to be honest you know.” Iwaizumi went to start running leaving Kyoutani behind.
Afternoon practice from all clubs are finished and many students are going home but some people stayed a little while. Before going home, Yahaba decides to look for Kyoutani in the dorms of the baseball team, while walking he encounters Oikawa and Iwaizumi together saying their good luck for him that Yahaba just waved at his senpais. Then, he waited outside for a while until he saw Kyoutani walking back at the dorms and the latter saw him.
“Yo, you’ve just finished running?”
“Hmm. Do you some time? I need to talk to you for a moment? If you’re not busy or-”
“Yeah, it’s fine.” The two seems awkward with each other because of mutual feelings? They decided to talk away from Kyoutani’s dorm to avoid people hearing them.
“So? What are we going to talk about?” Kyoutani hides his nervousness to Yahaba since it’s his first time talking to him privately and there’s less people around them unlike in their classroom.
“H-hmm. I heard that you were watching our practice match earlier, probably watching Oikawa-san right?” Oops. Yahaba blurted out Oikawa accidentally, he was nervous too and avoids Kyoutani’s eyes after he said that while the latter was shocked.
“HAH!?” Kyoutani responded was more shocked than angry, because he can’t possibly hear Oikawa’s name right? But that makes Yahaba surprised and eventually looked at Kyoutani.
“The hell, I’m not watching because of your annoying captain” Kyoutani pouted since he didn’t expect Yahaba should say something like that
*his pout is cute like small puppy* Yahaba thought.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to. I was surprised he noticed you two watching, then who’s this person that caught your attention?” Kyoutani couldn’t respond 5-10 seconds later, too busy processing on what Yahaba said.
“You.” Kyoutani mumbled but Yahaba didn’t hear it well.
“Sorry I couldn’t hear it, can you repeat it?” This time Kyoutani is blushing so hard that his ear is already red too.
“Oy, Kyoutani-” was cut by Kyoutani’s roar of “You!” which makes Yahaba blushed too. He didn’t expect that Kyoutani would said that. Well, at least his heart is stable now, his anxiety and fear that his feelings isn’t reciprocated are gone.
“Yes.” Kyoutani can’t face Yahaba at all due the embarrassment of shouting you in his face and probably his fear of being disgusted or rejected by him. Yahaba then grabs Kyoutani’s hand and makes him face towards him with a smile.
“Thank you” Kyoutani was speechless, his fears were gone just seeing Yahaba’s warm smile. Actually he didn’t expect that this would happen too, but right now he’s very happy.
“Ah, I forgot to ask you something. Hmm, Kyoutani, would you like to go out with m-” was cut by Kyoutani.
“Wait. I’m not done yet!”
“Well, this could’ve explain it more.” As he lifted their hands attached with each other which makes Yahaba’s face beet red. All’s well that end’s well! Luckily, both of them were honest to each other just like what their senpai said.
