Annie always seemed to be talking about Iwa. Miko didn't know know him, but he seemed like a nice enough guy. He was Tooru's best friend after all, and Annie's childhood friend, so she was sure he was a wonderful person. Only lately, he was all Annie seemed able to talk about. She wondered if maybe…

Annie was always going off about how she didn't need anyone, and she could do things on her own. But Miko wasn't so sure of that. Especially now, since she was seeing less of her. It was only natural, with Annie's softball, and with Miko always being around Tooru. She smiled at the thought of him. Things were going so well now. The teasing had stopped, thanks greatly to him, and she hadn't had anything else put in her locker. Tooru had even started walking her to class every now and again. He was being really caring now. Not that he hadn't been before, but it was all the more obvious as the days moved on. She got the feeling that maybe Tooru Oikawa was actually just a shy sort of guy. But if he was finally coming out of his shell then she was glad for it. And because of all this, she wanted the same thing for Annie. She knew if she could just get her to stop being so stubborn, then she'd realize that her and Iwa were a good match.

Her decision made, she hung around after school that day, waiting for the boys to finish their practice. She stayed near the changing room, wondering if maybe this was a bad idea. She shook her head to reaffirm herself. No, this would be great.

When Iwa saw Miko standing outside the changing room, he couldn't help but feel sort of awkward, though he wasn't sure why. "Oh hey," he said, "Tooru will be out soon. That guy takes forever-"

"Actually," she peeped, "I wanted to talk to you."

Iwa's heart pounded. What did she need to talk to him for? Could it be that she had figured out—

"I was wondering if maybe you wanted to have lunch this weekend, with Annie and I? Oh, and Tooru too of course."

He blinked. He thought for sure she was going to confront him about the bet. But it seemed as though she was still oblivious about it. Lunch with Annie? He couldn't say no to that. His stomach lurched as he cleared his throat. "Like a double date?"

Miko laughed nervously. "Um, sure? Why not! It can be fun." She grinned widely.

Iwa's eyes narrowed. Had Annie told Miko about them? No, that didn't make sense. If she had then Annie would have just asked him herself. So that means Miko was probably trying to set them up…

Iwa scoffed, a small smile tugging at the corner of his lips. It was sort of an amusing thing. Here Miko was, looking to set up two people that were already dating. Not that she knew that, of course. But she was a smart girl. Considerate too. Not to mention she was trying to do the same thing he was doing for his friend.

Damn.

He couldn't let Tooru mess this up. Miko was too good of a person.

"Sure," he told her, "I'll let Tooru know."

Her face lit up, and she nodded excitedly. "Great! I'll tell Annie!" She scurried off without another word, leaving Iwa feeling sort of warm on the inside.
