"Please take care of my daughter."

Hinata watched as Mr. Yano bowed to him. The younger male smiled politely before bowing as well.

After he found out from his younger sister that their mother's condition had worsened, Hinata decided to accept the job that Mr. Yano offered him: taking care of his daughter, Miho. And in exchange, Mr. Yano would let Hinata live in his share house without needing to pay rent. The only reason that any of this was happening at all was because Mr. Yano had heard from his three-year-old daughter that Hinata was her favorite teacher. So since Mr. Yano was already searching for a babysitter to cover for him until he got off work late at night, it seemed only natural to propose the deal to Hinata. And, fortunately, Hinata accepted.

"Don't worry! I'll take care of her!" Hinata assured him with a kind smile. He glanced at the share house and noted that a coin laundry was beside the entrance.

"You can enter the house now. Miho's inside and she's waiting for you." Mr. Yano said and Hinata nodded as he bid goodbye to the older male. As Hinata watched the older male leave, he couldn't help but think about how young the man looked but Hinata pushed the thought away and went inside. Once he did, he saw that there was an entryway and three pair of shoes placed in front of the door. Two of those pairs looked to be for an adult male while the other one was certainly for a young girl. Seeing this, Hinata took a deep breath before entering the main house.

Twisting the door knob, Hinata pushed the door open and once he did, he caught a glimpse of the hallway. Two doors were on the left and three doors were on the right. Hinata saw that the doors had labels on them and quickly found his room—the middle door on the right.

Hinata closed the door quietly behind him so he wouldn't disrupt the peace inside. Afterwards, he slowly snuck through the hallways and towards the end of the corridor where it looked like the dining room was. When Hinata narrowed his eyes, he saw another door at the right end of the hallway. Wondering what it was, Hinata headed there and as he did, he heard a gasp. When he looked to his left, Hinata saw two men and Miho sitting on the sofa in front of the television. Behind them was a divider that separated the living room and the kitchen as well as the dining room. Hinata gulped and glanced at Miho before breaking out into a smile.

"Miho-chan!" he greeted and saw the kid lurch towards him, beaming.

"It's Shou-kun!" Miho said as she clung on Hinata's leg. She gave such an enthusiastic response that Hinata totally forgot about the two men in the living room.

"That's Shou-kun?!"

Hinata blinked before looking at the person who said that. Once he saw who it was, he froze. In the living room were Oikawa Tooru and Iwaizumi Hajime. His old rivals.

Oikawa scoffed at the appearance of the one who defeated him on his last year in high school whereas Iwaizumi merely rubbed his temples. Hinata swallowed again as he backed away, hands up apologetically. Knowing that he had no one with him at the moment, Hinata began to question his safety and wondered if his death was imminent. Surely Oikawa and Iwaizumi were still angry about losing to him last year…

"Hinata Shouyo." Iwaizumi muttered, which made the younger male flinch in surprise.

Hinata straightened up and said, "Yes?!"

Miho eyed her teacher and wondered why he was acting scared at the moment.

Glancing at the youngest man in the room, Iwaizumi asked, "Are you the only one moving here?"

Hinata nodded fervently out of fear and nervousness. Aware that he was making the younger man scared, Iwaizumi stood up and went to his room but as he passed by Hinata, he caught a glimpse of the shorter male staring at him apprehensively before looking away in a hurry. Iwaizumi heaved a sigh before heading to his room, which was the first door on the left side of the hallway otherwise known as room 201.

Meanwhile, Oikawa coldly stared at the orange-haired male in front of him.

"Are you the new tenant?" the brunette questioned aloofly as he leaned on the couch comfily while crossing his leg like he was the boss of the gang. Once again, Hinata felt intimidated so he lowered his head before nodding. Oikawa huffed in pride when he witnessed how frightened the younger male was before staring at Miho. "Miho-chi, is he the teacher you said you liked?" he asked sweetly and when the kid nodded with a naive smile, Oikawa hummed in response.

"Hinata," he called earning a wince from Hinata, "can I call you Shou-kun as well?"

Hinata gazed at Oikawa, baffled. "But... why? Aren't you angry at me?" he questioned, his words dripping with confusion.

Smiling charmingly, Oikawa blurted, "It's fine, it's fine! That's all in the past!"

Hinata smiled gratefully before bowing then raising his head. "You can call me anything you want! I'm not picky! Also, please take care of me!" Hinata greeted happily while Oikawa snorted at how energetic the younger male was. The brunette then stopped when he recalled one thing.

"But Miho-chi, didn't your father say that there's two new people who'll be living in here?" Oikawa prompted.

Miho blinked before saying, "Yeah! Papa said that but Miho doesn't know who it is but the new tent is a man!"

"It's tenant Miho-chan, not tent." Hinata corrected earning him a nod from the kid. He then pondered about the other tenant and wondered who it was. He hoped that it was someone kind. Hinata had literally felt his lifespan shorten when he found out that his two former opponents were his housemates so a person who was at least friendly and kind would definitely be beneficial for him.

Oikawa observed the younger male when suddenly, his phone rang. Oikawa instantly answered the call when he saw the number.

"Yes? Who is –"

"Tooru-kun! You said you don't have a client right now, right?" the person from the other side asked.

"Yeah, I don't have one right now." Oikawa replied lazily as he stood up and headed to the dining room to get away from the television noise.

"Guess what? I got you a client! You played volleyball before so I got one who's playing it! He's a setter so I thought that you'd like to be his sports agent!" the person exclaimed cheerily. Oikawa felt his lips tug upwards as he heard that.

"Really?" he asked, curiosity evident from his words.

"Yeah! I'm with him. He's a hit in the sports world and he's willing to pay you a lot! We're at the cafe near your place. The one that sells cake and breads!"

Oikawa grinned as he heard that. He told the person to wait and that he'd be there before hanging up. He then headed to his room—the one next door to Iwaizumi's—and after a short while, he came back out in another outfit.

"Shou-chan, I'll be leaving! Take care of the house!" the brunette said before running out of the house.

Hinata watched the older male exit and began musing about what Oikawa's occupation was.

Oikawa pushed his hair back when he saw Inui. The brunette then headed over to his co-worker as he brushed off his clothes to make sure that they were clean. When he called out to Inui, his co-worker turned to him with a laidback grin.

"Yo, Tooru! Good to see you!" Inui greeted, grinning cheerily.

Oikawa didn't waste any time and asked, "Where's the volleyball player?"

"Actually... I didn't really find this player for you. It's more like, I'm requesting for you to be his sports agent." Inui stated with a grim look. "This kid's really quiet and if you do something he doesn't like, he'll get really angry at you. Many people worked with him but they gave up because he was too scary to be with! But since it's you, I'm sure you'll be fine."

Oikawa started wondering about this potential client. The brunette had met plenty of athletes who were stubborn and arrogant so he was sure that he could handle whatever Inui's new recruit was going to be bringing. As long as they didn't get violent when they were angry then it was fine with Oikawa. With that thought in mind, Oikawa smiled charmingly before saying that it was fine with him. Inui then lead him inside the cafe and instantly, the smell of coffee and newly baked bread filled the brunette's nose. Looking around, Oikawa saw one man who was sitting alone.

Inui went ahead and sat in front of the man before motioning Oikawa to be quick. As the he approached, he could hear Inui speaking to the stranger.

"I got the person perfect for you. He's played volleyball before so I'm sure you two can get along," Inui said calmly.

"Really? What position did he play?" the man replied nonchalantly.

"He played as a setter when he was in high school. He was really popular before so you might know him!"

Oikawa gazed at the man carefully. His hair was jet black. And suddenly Oikawa started musing about the possibility of it being the one person he really didn't want to see— but just then the man turned around to face Oikawa. The brunette gasped.

"No way! It's Tobio-chan!" Oikawa thought internally as he froze. Immediately, he recalled how much he despised the younger male all the way from middle school up to high school. Even now, Oikawa hated the fact that he was about to be working with his former rival.

Kageyama's eyes widened as he witnessed his former senior gawking at him. The younger setter turned back to Inui and glared at him icily.

"Where is he? The sports agent you talked about," he said impatiently, hoping that it wasn't who he assumed it to be. When Inui pointed back at Oikawa, Kageyama turned around again and saw his old competition still standing there, clearly just as uncomfortable as him.

But the brunette then forced a smile that seemed too sweet to be real. Kageyama huffed in annoyance.

With his current situation, Oikawa was forced to act civil with his former rival so he walked towards his co-worker and sat beside him. He then faced Kageyama and while it was undeniable that there was some unspoken tension between them, Oikawa ignored the awkwardness and greeted the younger male.

"It's nice to meet the famous volleyball played that Inui's been talking about," he said with a snarky attitude. Kageyama simply glared at him as he crossed his arms.

"Tooru, this is Kageyama Tobio! He's a busy guy so your hands will be full when you become his agent." Inui informed, completely unaware of the awkwardness of the situation,.

"Really?" Oikawa mused with an air of mischief in his voice. "Kageyama Tobio must be really incompetent in other things then! The only thing he probably knows about is how to be good at volleyball!" he exclaimed condescendingly.

Kageyama clenched his fist at the insult but he kept his irritation pent-up inside to avoid causing trouble. If he made a ruckus now, it could taint his image and status.

"Oi, Tooru. Don't be like that! You're being rude," Inui scolded as he looked apologetically at Kageyama, who in turn gazed at him emptily.

"Oh! Sorry! I've been told to be blunt so I hope Kageyama-san doesn't mind," Oikawa said mockingly.

"I don't mind," Kageyama retorted calmly before shifting his gaze towards Inui. "I need to make this quick. I have to get to the new place I'm moving to."

Inui nodded. "Kageyama-kun, you don't mind if he becomes your agent, right?" Inui pointed at Oikawa while checking Kageyama's expression.

The black-haired male simply shrugged his shoulders. "I don't really care who it is as long as I get someone to take care of the things I don't want to take care of."

Inui nodded. "So, it's settled then? Shall I leave you two to talk?" he suggested.

Oikawa held his co-worker's wrist tightly but Inui just smiled before gently pushing the brunette's hand back. He then bowed to Kageyama and left, leaving the two former rivals alone. Oikawa felt a headache coming as he aloofly stared at the person in front of him. Since Kageyama was his client, should Oikawa entertain him? Oikawa didn't want to do that at all. His pride wouldn't let him. He couldn't look inferior to the younger male. He had to be above Kageyama, he'd die of shame if he wasn't.

"Oikawa-san," Kageyama called out, "you'll be working under me." He said with a hint of pride.

"Wow. Look at him. I can sense that his head inflated since he's famous now." Oikawa thought begrudgingly.

"I didn't say I'll accept the job," he stated and huffed in stubbornness.

The two didn't talk for a few seconds until Oikawa decided to ask, "How much do you make a year?"

Kageyama, who was eating a piece of bread, stopped munching and thought about the money he made last year. Once he recalled it, he answered uncaringly, "About... two..."

Oikawa leaned in and interrupted. "Two million?" he asked.

Kageyama shook his head and said, "Two hundred something."

The brunette heaved a sigh after hearing that. "You earn two hundred thousand yen? That much in a year? I thought you had it big." He stated while smirking.

Oikawa thought back to his first client. The brunette earned a lot because that athlete received a lot of money a year, then his second client earned about five million to six million and if the athlete was fortunate, they'd earn ten million yen. Since Oikawa had to be paid three percent of that athlete's salary, Oikawa received 300,000 yen. It wasn't big but it was good enough for a beginner. Then as time went by, since Oikawa was extremely good at being an agent, given that his parents worked as lawyers, the brunette's salary increased. What started as a mere three percent went to six percent and Oikawa couldn't be happier. He was making a hefty amount of money and that was all that mattered.

Gazing at Kageyama with boredom, Oikawa wondered if he should help the younger male out. He felt bad that he'd be left alone. Suddenly, Kageyama stopped eating and lowered his bread. He stared at Oikawa before speaking.

"I remember now. I earned 200,000,000 yen last year." Kageyama declared indifferently.

Hearing this, Oikawa did a double-take before frantically musing about the money he'd make if he decided to become Kageyama's agent. "If I accept the job, it doesn't matter if I earn three percent of his income. I'd still get a six million yen in fact, even one percent could make me get two million yen from him! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity that's laid out in front of me and if I take it, I'll earn a lot and boost my status." Oikawa thought internally. He then recalled something. "But it's Tobio-chan! How can I accept from him?! My pride won't take it! I don't want to be indebted to him... but this is work, so I guess it's fine." The brunette felt swayed by the amount of money he'd be getting. Thinking of all the zeroes in his paycheck, Oikawa bit his lip to stop himself from getting too excited.

"Tobio-chan, how much would I get from your income?" Oikawa asked, still being stubborn.

"I paid my last agent... ten percent." Kageyama replied calmly.

The brunette gawked at the cash laid out in front of him. Thinking about the money, Oikawa mumbled, "Ten percent of 200,000,000 yen is... twenty million?!" The older male gaped at Kageyama with disbelief.

"Oi! That's freaking big! Do you even know how much money you're giving away?" Oikawa hastily questioned, completely forgetting he was supposed to be playing hard to get.

Kageyama simply shrugged his shoulders once again while eating a piece of bread. "I don't," he answered shortly.

Oikawa slammed his fist on the table and eyed the younger male grimly. "Twenty. Million. Yen. That's how much you gave them. Do you even know business and finance? Why would you give that much money?!" He glared at Kageyama and when he noticed that the younger male looked bored, Oikawa bit his tongue to avoid getting too agitated. "Oi. Are you listening?" the brunette spoke roughly.

Clicking his tongue, Kageyama told Oikawa, "As long as I get to play, then I don't care."

This stunned Oikawa. He was in utter disbelief as he processed the younger male's statement. Even now, Kageyama is still the same man whose life revolves around volleyball so what did Oikawa expect? For the black-haired man to suddenly learn finance and have a life?

"Why?" Oikawa uttered in defeat. "Why do you earn so much?" he asked.

Kageyama indifferently said, "Popular products wanted me to advertise their brand. Some put me in their commercial."

"So that's why... tell me, Tobio-chan, what's the latest brand you advertised?" Oikawa probed.

"Uh... Asics? Mizuno? I don't know which but it's one of those two." Kageyama responded as he went back to eating.

Oikawa chuckled lowly. Kageyama was still as ignorant and infuriating as ever. It really irked Oikawa, but for some reason he felt like he had to take this opportunity. Taking a deep breath, Oikawa put on a smirk before putting his hand out in front of Kageyama, motioning for a handshake.

"Let's do this, Tobio-chan. Play volleyball as much as you want and leave the paperwork to me. Deal?" Oikawa said confidently.

Kageyama swallowed the bite of bread he took before grabbing the last untouched piece. He then placed the bread in Oikawa's hand and blurted in all seriousness, "Work hard." He then stood up, grabbed his bag, and left the cafe without another word.

Oikawa stood dumfounded in the wake of his former rival's unannounced exit. He then glanced down at the piece of bread in his hand and placed it back on the table while gritting his teeth. Oikawa shook his head and took off after Kageyama. After all, they hadn't properly discussed their agreement! The bastard had left before they'd even signed a contract…

Hinata and Miho were watching cartoons comfily from the confines of the sofa. They had an array of snacks laid about them while they stared at the television.

It had been an hour since Oikawa had left and the two were on their own. Having played every game they could think of, the two were exhausted. So Hinata had suggested they watch some cartoons. And currently, Hinata was laughing at the misfortunes of the characters in the kids' show and leaned back lethargically on the couch when out of the blue, Iwaizumi exited his room and noticed mess in the hallway. Iwaizumi stomped into the living room while avoiding the Legos all over the floor.

"Oikawa! Look at the mess!" he scolded and faced the person in the living room, but when he didn't see his childhood friend, he looked to the kitchen and dining room but to no avail, Oikawa wasn't there. Iwaizumi finally glanced at Hinata.

"Did you make this mess?" he asked as he tried to stay calm but it was too late, Hinata was already nervous.

Hinata stood up immediately and bowed in apology. "Sorry! I'll clean it!" he said before going on a search for the broom and dustpan. When he found it in the kitchen, Hinata raised the broom and ran to the hallway. He proceeded to sweep the Legos into the dustpan and started muttering about where he had left the box that the Legos belonged in.

Iwaizumi observed the younger male clean, inwardly amused at how much of a mess the younger male could create in one day alone. He stood with crossed arms while Hinata scanned the hallway for the box.

"What are you searching for?" Iwaizumi asked nonchalantly.

Hinata gulped and forced a strained smile. "Nothing. I'll find it," he said before attempting to walk past Iwaizumi but as he did, the taller man grabbed the dustpan and gently yanked it. "Go take care of Miho because she's sulking. I'll put this away." He suggested as he tugged on the dustpan but Hinata didn't take the suggestion and shook his head.

"No need! I'll take care of this! I was the one who made a mess!" Hinata spoke shakily as he pulled the scoop back. Iwaizumi then pulled as well and soon, the two were tugging at the dustpan, both insisting to put the mess away by themselves. Hinata then strongly pulled making the dustpan almost pulling it from Iwaizumi's grip but unfortunately, Miho ran up to Hinata and pushed his legs and because of the sudden push, the force that Hinata had used to pull the dustpan was instead, sent towards Iwaizumi as the Legos were flung on the taller male's face while the scoop hit his forehead.

The two men in the share house froze. Hinata was on the floor with a stunned expression while Iwaizumi stood deathly silent as his forehead began to rapidly redden.

Hinata gasped at what he had done and stood up to check if his housemate was alright but as he did so, he didn't notice a stray Lego under his right foot and stepped on it. Yelping in pain, he ended up falling again so he made the decision to grab onto Iwaizumi's collar to balance himself but when he did, he accidentally tore the stoic male's shirt from the collar down to the middle.

Hinata did balance himself but he may have made a bad impression on Iwaizumi.

Eyeing the shorter male with a soulless look, Iwaizumi stopped himself from getting angry since Miho was watching the two of them. Knowing that he couldn't get angry at Hinata the same way he did with Oikawa, Iwaizumi took a deep breath and huffed before opening his mouth to speak but before he could say something, the door opened and the two men came in.

The two men in the hallway were met with the sight of a frustrated Oikawa and, to their surprise, an even more frustrated-looking Kageyama.

The two pairs gazed at each other, totally speechless.

Oikawa and Kageyama were witnessing a situation that looked like Hinata purposely ripping Iwaizumi's shirt open. On the other hand, Iwaizumi and Hinata were looking at Oikawa who seemed to be inviting Kageyama inside the share house despite looking irritated about it. The two pairs didn't have a single idea what happened to the other. All they knew was the other duo seemed to have done something weird.

As they eyed each other with thunderstruck expressions, they heard another person greet them. Oikawa and Kageyama moved away to check who spoke from behind them while Iwaizumi and Hinata narrowed their eyes to see who the new person outside was. When they found who it was, they all gasped.

"Oh..." the person uttered in a dumbfounded manner. "Are the four of you... living together? Really?"

Instead of offering an answer for their current situation, the four males in the share house cussed loudly.

Iwaizumi massaged his aching forehead as he grumbled something about living with a bunch of idiots.

"Why...? Why is today like this?" Hinata emptily murmured as he felt himself starting to cry at the latest weird development in his day.

Oikawa groaned loudly. "I have no problem with Chibi-chan being here, or this guy," he said, motioning to the man standing outside the doorway, "but Tobio-chan?! No freaking way! Why is he even here and..."

Kageyama just wanted to go back to his old home.

Meanwhile, their new housemate, Sugawara Koushi, stood stunned as he tried to grasp the situation in front of him. "What the heck," he blurted out as he watched the four other males suffering.

Miho, on the other hand, was just grinning at all her new friends.

A/N:

Hey! Nice to meet you too! Just to give you an idea of what a share house is, it's a place that's like a house but has many rooms. You share one kitchen, dining room, living room, and bathroom (even a lounge if the share house is that expensive) with the other tenants. It's apparently an exciting way to pay rent since not only is it slightly affordable, you can get to know other tenants as well.

As for how the house looks like, if you're outside, there will be a coin laundry beside the entry of the house and when you enter, it won't be the house immediately. You'll be in an entryway and another door. Once you enter the second door, the corridor with hardwood floor will instantly greet you and in that corridor, there are three doors to the right and two doors to the left. If you keep walking pass these doors (which are the doors to the bedroom), you'll see the living room to the left and as read above, there is a divider wall that seperates the kitchen and dining room which are mashed since the share house is quite small. Anyway, the wall to the right, there's this door, beside the last bedroom door to the right, and it's the door to the bathroom. I'll tell you which room the guys are next chapter but for now, that's the interior of the house so I'm sorry if you can't visualize it! I'm not good with explaining places.

But this story's plot... I guess you could say that it's humor-based with romance as subplot. Don't expect something deep since I want it to be as light-hearted as possible. Just lean on your seat (or bed) and enjoy the chapters that I'll post ;)

BTW, I edited this chapter since I found some grammatical errors so don't be surprised if there are changes in this chap.
