Libero of Aoba Joshai
Lancer's Weakness
One-Shot
We were practicing again and it was getting later. Even I was getting tired. Hikaru was yawning behind his clipboard. The coaches gave Oikawa the key. Kunimi was barely moving. Iwaizumi clapped his hands. "Alright, that's enough for today."
Oikawa looked over, giving a teasing smile. "Iwa-chan? Are you tired?"
Iwaizumi rolled his eyes, taking the ball and throwing it in the basket with the rest of them. "It's late, look outside."
Oikawa looked out the window and shrugged. "Okay." He smiled at us. "Let's clean up and come back tomorrow." It was getting closer to InterHigh, so we were practicing more. Matsukawa stretched his arms and Hanamaki said. "It's about time you noticed, Captain."
Oikawa huffed. "You didn't say anything, Makki."
Matsukawa smirked. "You were so focused, Cap'n."
I walked over to the net, helping Yahaba take it down. I was bored as we folded it. I looked over at him and felt mischievous. Yahaba was so fun to mess with. I bumped into him. He backed up. "Sorry."
I nodded. "It's okay."
We walked with the net and I bumped into him again. I said. "Oh, sorry."
"It's fine." We dropped it in the closet and went to grab the brooms. I bumped into him again. "Sorry."
He frowned at me, his eyes narrowed. "It's...okay." I bit back my smile. We were walking out and I did it again.
"Lancer, knock it off!" He flushed as half the team looked at him. Hikaru was sending me a look and I gave him my "innocent" look. He rolled his eyes. The third years were talking, glanced over and started talking again. Kunimi raised an eyebrow in my direction. I shrugged. I could see Watari laughing quietly. I knew Yahaba and Watari were good friends.
We were ready to start sweeping and I bumped into him before he could stop me. Yahaba sighed deeply, jabbing my side. "Jeez, leave me alone."
I yelped sharply, jumping up with wide eyes. Yahaba asked, worried. "Did I hurt you?" Why did you jump?"
I shook my head. "Don't worry about it, I'm fine."
"Then why-" A slow grin went across his face.
I pointed at him and backed up. "Yahaba, don't think about it..."
"That's not how you address your senpai." He got closer and I dropped the broom, darting off. I ran down the court.
Iwaizumi asked with a chuckle. "What's going on? What did you do to Yahaba?"
I could feel Yahaba chasing me. I called. "It's not my fault!" I could hear Hikaru laughing.
I could feel the stares as I ran around. Matsukawa called. "What is it, Yahaba?"
I skid to a stop with wide eyes, waving my arms. "Wah, no!"
Yahaba stopped and I saw a wide grin on his face. "You see, Lancer, here-"
I shook my head. "No! No! Please, c'mon, I'll do anything!"
Hanamaki laughed. "Now I have to know."
Oikawa came over to Yahaba and threw an arm over his shoulder. "And what is American-chan hiding?"
I glanced around in panic and Hikaru looked over with a confused smile, Kindaichi and Kunimi watched, but made sure to keep away, Watari was curious and the other third years were watching with amusement.
"Nothing much, Oikawa-senpai, just that he is ticklish."
I gave a squack in alarm as all eyes snapped to me. I heard Hikaru burst into laughter. I stuttered. "Shut U-up."
Oikawa chuckled. "Oh, really?"
I looked over at Iwaizumi, hoping he would stop it, but he was grinning at me. Watari smiled. "Poor Lancer." I gave him a pleading look. He was my 'senpai' within our positions. He shrugged, sending me a sheepish grin. I darted off, but was tackled by a tall body. I squirmed around, but saw Hanamaki grinning down at me. I paled, he was ruthless on a good day. "No, c'mon, help, Hikaru!"
"Don't call me-you know what, you deserve this."
"No-hey!" I giggled automatically when his fingers dug into my hip. My chest was in a compression shirt so I wasn't concerned in that way. I rolled away, still snickering. Hanamaki didn't follow, but laughed. The team laughed and I rolled away from most of the voices. I bumped into legs. I rolled on my back and glanced up to see Oikawa grinning down at me. I squirmed away from him, but wasn't able to stop him from latching onto my side.
I giggled again, trying to curl up. "N-no! Stop!"
Oikawa cooed. "Aw, does it tickle, American-chan?"
I felt my face going red in embarrassment. "Stop. Ah!"
"Shittykawa, let him go before he pisses himself."
He stopped after a moment and I took a deep breath. I ignored the loud laughter. Oikawa smirked, ruffling my hair. "That was fun, American-chan."
I huffed, glaring. "For you."
I saw a tan hand in front of my face. I glanced up to see Iwaizumi. I grabbed his hand and he easily pulled me up. Oikawa pouted. "Aw, Iwa-chan, you ruined my fun."
Iwaizumi quickly poked at Oikawa's side, causing him to squeak and back up. "Iwa-chan, stop!"
I sent a smirk at his payback. I sent him an innocent look. "Aw, Oikawa-senpai, are you ticklish?" Oikawa sent me an annoyed glare and I watched to make sure he wouldn't attack me. I shouldn't have been watching him.
I felt fingers dig sharply in my side and I jumped away, laughing right away and almost falling over. I held a hand over my side and stared at a smirking Iwaizumi. "Looks like you and Shittykawa have a common way to shut you up." Oikawa complained and I pouted, huffing. Everyone else was finishing up the gym.
Iwaizumi chuckled at my disgruntled look and ruffled my hair into a bigger mess than it already was. "Get goin', Lancer."
I nodded, relieved it wasn't worse. "Got it, Iwaizumi-senpai."
I walked over to see the gym clean and everyone leaving, calling out goodbyes. Hikaru walked by me with a grin. I eyed him. "Thanks for the help."
He laughed. "No problem, jerk."
We walked out and I called out. "I can see you laughing, Kunimi." Kunimi and Kindaichi were walking ahead of us.
Kunimi turned his head with a smirk. "Like you're not asking for it." Kindaichi sent me a look and then shrugged.
We walked back toward our homes, our bags on our backs.
It was used against me whenever one of my teammates wanted to get back at me. I wasn't the only one who was ticklish, but it was a way to get back at me for michevious behavior. Except for Kindaichi, the guy was way too nervous to even try and Kunimi was too lazy. Oikawa liked to mess around with me and I don't even want to get into dealing with Hanamaki and Matsukawa.
Believe it or not, Iwaizumi was ruthless. especially if it was in a scolding sense.
"Maybe next time you get in a fight, I'll do this instead."
"No!"
I didn't mind too much. Especially when I got them back. It's was a good bonding activity and I made sure they didn't go near my chest to find out my secret.
