Iwa could practically feel the seething anger that was exuding from Tooru. He sighed under his breath. That was irritating. He didn't know what the guy was so angry about, but it'd definitely throw him off his game. And this was one they definitely needed to win. It was the first time Annie was watching him play, and he wanted it to be a good game. The ball flew over the net, and hit the floor. Point to Karasuno.

"Shit." He heard Oikawa mutter under his breath. Iwa quickly glanced at the other side of the court. Who had just scored? The big one…the ace, he didn't know his name. Was there something going on between him and Tooru?

"Captain." He called. Tooru's head shot up.

"Focus."

Tooru's face hardened and he spun the ball in his hands, nodding. The gym grew silent as Aoba Johsai prepared for their serve. Iwa took his stance, keeping a close eye on the first year duo. They were definitely the wild card.

"Let's go Iwa!"

He flinched on hearing her voice, but bit back a smile as he shook his head. Crazy woman, he thought to himself. Screaming at the absolute quietest moment. But, it was exactly what he loved about her.

Tooru couldn't stand the fact that Asahi had actually scored. But fine. He wasn't going to let it happen again. He knew he was supposed to be focusing on the game, but he couldn't stop staring at the ace. What was so great about him? He was a big guy, sure. He looked like he could already be in college. Were Miko and that guy really friends?

Tooru smacked the ball, and it flew over the net, only to be caught by the libero. Damn that guy was good. Short, but good. The ball was then passed to Tobio, and Asahi jumped, hitting the ball with surprising strength. Like hell Tooru was gonna let that guy make another point. But at that moment, his instincts took over. From the way the ball was angled, he could tell it'd be a safer bet to not try and catch it. He thought quickly, and side stepped, the ball whirling past his face and hitting the edge of the court: out of bounds.

"Tooru! Nice call!" Her voice was enough to make him look up. She was smiling at him, with a completely different smile than he had seen her give to Asahi. It was a smile just for him. She was clapping and cheering with the rest of the crowd, but for whatever reason he only saw her. His heartbeat quickened just then, and he shook his head, the whistle bringing him back to the game. But he had a newfound energy, and with that, he smiled.

He'd win this game, and then she'd cheer again.

Hear that, ace? She's cheering for me.

It was one of his better tasting victories, when Aoba Johsai finally won. Tooru couldn't stop grinning. Miko and Annie had jumped up from their seats, and it had been a great thing to watch.

He was, in a word, happy.

So when he came out of the changing room, only to find Asahi exchanging contacts with his girlfriend…

Well. It quickly ruined his mood once again.

…

"Iwa!" Annie jumped on him from behind, nearly making him tumble to the ground.

"Yeesh woman!"

"Congratulations!" She hugged him tightly, pressing her cheek to his.

He tried to shake her off but she wouldn't let go.

"Let's go celebrate or something! I'm hungry!" she kissed his cheek.

"Ok, fine, just get off me."

Annie grinned, holding him all the tighter, and nuzzling his face. "Why? You embarrassed?"

"Of course not!" he snapped.

"Yeah you are! Your face is red!" She burst out laughing.

Iwa grumbled, and wrapped his arm around her waist, so that he could kiss her squarely on the lips. Annie's laughter was cut off, and her face quickly colored to match his face's red hue. He smirked. "Are you embarrassed?"

She pushed him away, "Oh, shut up Iwa."
