"If Kuroo knew about this, he'll really beat you."
Oikawa sighed at what Ushijima said. "As long as the two cousins doesn't know, it's fine." He pondered as he clutched the strap of his sports bag. He inhales deeply before entering the gym.
Meanwhile, Nagishima stood quietly outside of the classroom with two people, Saikane and Kenma. How did they get there?
"You were petty." Nagishima spoke in a hushed tone. Kenma sighed before turning his PS Vita on then proceeding to play it just so he could ignore the oncoming fight.
"I was petty? Who threw the crumpled paper at me repeatedly?" Saikane retaliated with a snarky tone. The black-haired female eyed the blonde female carefully before flipping her friend off, making Saikane gasp. With a glare, Saikane walks towards Nagishima but Kenma stops her by grabbing her wrist and pulling her back to her place.
"If the teacher hears both of you fight, we'll keep standing up." Kenma reminds before his gaze returns to his game. Saikane yanks his PS Vita away and puts it in her jacket pocket. Saikane then glares at the pudding-head before walking in front of Nagishima. Inhaling deeply, Saikane raises her right hand in front of Nagishima's face before closing her palm.
Saikane then gives the middle finger to the black-haired female as well, earning her a cold glare from the female gentleman. Nagishima grabs Saikane's wrist and clutched it tightly. Kenma gulped, confused on which side he should take.
"You're pissing me off ever since you came here this morning." Nagishima spoke ominously. "How could you glare at me the first thing in the morning when all I did was greet you? Then you proceed to ignore me and ignore the food that was supposed to be my peace offering. How petty can you get?" Nagishima uttered with annoyance.
Saikane huffs and grabs Nagishima's shoulder with her left hand. Gripping it tightly, Saikane pushes her friend down. "Be careful who you're fighting. Just so you know, I practiced Taekwondo earlier than you." She informed smugly.
Kenma looks away from them and pulls out his phone to text Kuroo.
Nagishima glowered at her blonde childhood friend before slapping Saikane's left hand away then shoving her away from her. Saikane grits her teeth as she shakes her head. Facing her black-haired friend, the female blonde click her tongue before speaking.
"I'll wait for you at the park. Be there at 4 or I'll consider it as your lost." Saikane pulls her right hand away and scowls at Nagishima before walking away. She stops for a while and gives Kenma's PS Vita back then leaves as soon as possible.
Kenma sighed once again as he observed the two female. What the hell should he do at this moment?
Kuroo groaned at the message he got from Kenma. How can those two girls fight each other? Are they a bunch of barbarians? What's with Saikane's way of proposing a fight? Is she a delinquent? Are Nagishima and Saikane delinquents? Those are the thoughts that flooded Kuroo's mind at the moment.
"You look troubled, Kuroo? Are you not happy that I'm here?" Oikawa sat beside the black-haired male with his usual grin. Kuroo gazed at the brunette before clicking his tongue in frustration.
"Someone challenged Rino to fight at the park on 4 PM, speaking of Rino, I have something to give you." Kuroo said before pulling out a sweater from his bag. He then hands it to Oikawa with a sly smirk. "I told my cousin that I'll give it to you so she won't bother going to you." He informed.
Oikawa narrowed his eyes at his roommate before nodding slowly. "Ahh… is that so?" he replied while thinking about his roommate's words.
"I'm not really in any position to tell you to avoid my cousin but I'm taking the risk." Kuroo spoke darkly before eyeing Oikawa with a dangerous vibe. "Oikawa Tooru-kun, please stay away from my cousin, Nagishima Rino. It's for the safety of both parties."
Oikawa huffed at the black-haired male. He crossed his arms and smiled innocently. "We're friends, Kuroo. There's no reason for me to avoid her." He spoke lightly.
"Do you think I don't know what actually happened that night?"
The male brunette dropped his grin and gawked at the man to his left. Suddenly feeling his heart racing, the brunette wondered what his roommate would do next.
"It's obvious that she almost experienced 'that' again. I noticed it when I saw her wrist. What kind of hold did you do to slightly bruise my cousin's hand? Most importantly, where did her favorite red jacket and white shirt go? Why was she only wearing your sweater without any undershirt except for her bra?"
Oikawa bit his tongue and kept acting collected. He nods to Kuroo's statement before inhaling deeply.
"You're right. Your cousin was almost harassed, but it was another person. I caught her walking on the streets with her clothes torn so I gave her my sweater." He explained calmly. Kuroo hummed in response before grinning at his brown-haired roommate. "I get it. As long as she's fine then I don't need to get angry."
The two male kept glaring at each other before Kuroo cuts the silence.
"I'm not telling you to avoid my cousin completely, I just want you to make a distance from her because surely... my cousin isn't your lover that you're allowed to hug her easily." Kuroo stated before standing up. He then gives one last look at Oikawa and winks mischievously at him, leaving Oikawa scoffing at the male.
When the practice finished, Oikawa hurried to the park. He held his phone and sent a message to someone before pushing it back inside in his pocket.
Soon, he was at the park and he roamed it to find a certain black-haired female. To his surprise, he sees her standing in front of a blonde girl with both of them looking ready to have an intense fist fight. Oikawa runs to Nagishima and grabs her shoulders, successfully catching her attention.
"Huh? Why are you –"
"Are you really going to fight a girl?" Oikawa questioned in disbelief as he watched Nagishima's look morph into an expression of shock. "It's as if you're insinuating that I'm not a girl." The younger girl retorted with a pained expression.
"What? No, that's not what I meant!"
"Then what did you mean? Can you not see that Rino has a good female body? It's just not seen yet because of her thick clothes but any man who's able to tap Rino is entering a gold mine!" Saikane passionately defended her friend as she stood close to Nagishima. Seeing the black-haired female converse with an older man felt uncomfortable and oddly irritating.
Oikawa and Nagishima stared at the blonde with surprise. Nagishima looks down whereas Oikawa recalls seeing the younger girl's body and once he did, he wowed before agreeing with the blonde female.
"You're right, Rino has a good body so Rino" he faces Nagishima with a cautious look on his face. "Don't let any man touch you easily. Even me!" he advised in a proud manner.
Saikane gasped at the brown-haired man's words. "You… are you trying to get close to Rino so you could get her for yourself? Do you want to get beaten up?!" Saikane steps forward, ready to kick the male but Nagishima quickly steps forward to intervene her friend's actions. "Calm down, Saikane. Calm down." The gentlelady spoke ever-so-gently.
Too bad, it didn't stop Saikane.
Oikawa eyed the female blonde weirdly before looking at Nagishima with a puzzled look. In the corner of his eyes, he sees a man walk towards the two female.
"Saikane." The male, which was Kenma, called out and when Saikane hears this, she stops and gulps before looking back to see the pudding-head. "Ah… Kenma, what are you doing here? Didn't I tell you to not go here?" she spoke softly and evidently different from how she spoke earlier. The rough tone of voice was exchanged with a softer one as she spoke to the male.
Oikawa observed the two and immediately knew that something was going on between the two. Smiling to himself, he glances at Nagishima and notices her usual straight face. The female gentleman gazes at the college male and catches him staring.
"Is there –" Nagishima paused when she remembers that her friends are there with her. Deciding that it was better to avoid Saikane than fight with her, the black-haired female walks away, aware that the brown-haired male was trailing behind her like a kitten following its mother. Once the two were away from the Nagishima's friends, the black-haired female sighs and wipes her sweat away before turning to face the brunette.
"Didn't I tell you that I don't want to talk to you?" she spoke coldly.
"Didn't I tell you that we should stop avoiding each other?" Oikawa retaliated.
"You're contradicting the statement you said at the amusement park. Please explain properly." Nagishima demanded and without a choice, Oikawa sighs and starts explaining what he meant.
"What I said at the amusement park was something that I didn't think carefully about. What I wanted to say was, if I ever try and get close to you then do something about it. Hit me, slap me, or kick me. Do it like what my childhood friend does when I try to tease him." Oikawa muttered as he recalled a certain friend in Miyagi.
"If you wanted to experience that again, then go to that friend of yours."
"I can't... he's far away."
Nagishima went quiet at the college male's statement. Trying to read between the lines, she asks "Is he like my mother?"
"What?" Oikawa uttered in confusion.
"Is he dead?"
The brunette gaped at the young girl before bursting out laughing. He held his stomach before coughing due to laughing too much. He wiped his eyes and sighed to stop himself from laughing yet he's unable to. Nagishima was giving him a look of offense.
"Why are you laughing? I'm trying to read in between the lines right now." She said in a serious manner that made Oikawa laugh once more, thinking about how hard Nagishima's trying to be good at reading the moment. He sighs one last time before gazing at the girl. Seeing her earnest look made Oikawa reach out his hands to pinch her cheeks but when he realizes what he's doing, he pulls his hands away.
Suddenly, his phone rings and he grabs it from his pocket and answers it.
The voice of a flirty lady was heard and Nagishima wondered who the male brunette was talking to.
"A party? Right now?" he asked while smiling, his eyes scanning the area only for it to stop on Nagishima. His smile drops and he held his answer back. Contemplating on whether to stay with the younger girl and risk his social life to get her trust back or go away and make her even more distrustful of him, Oikawa inhaled deeply.
"Ah… about the party, it's your birthday so happy birthday! Sorry but I can't attend right now. I'm with someone important so I need to stay here. Bye!" he then hangs up before checking his inbox. When he sees someone invite him in a one night stand, he frowns before deleting all the conversation he had with other people and shutting his phone down for the day so he won't have to worry about it. Oikawa sighed before pushing his phone inside his sports bag to make sure that he won't look at it.
Smiling at what he did, Oikawa eyed Nagishima. "I ignored everyone to talk to you so don't ignore me." He whined in his usual childish tone of voice. Nagishima, still feeling wary, bit her lip before nodding. Witnessing the sincere and honest look of the brunette seemed to have an effective effect on her.
"Just this once. After this, I won't go with you on any place anymore." She said as she clenched the strap of her bag. Oikawa grinned brightly before running to her side and looking down at her to send her a playful wink. When Nagishima sees this, she huffs tiredly and shakes her head in disapproval.
Kenma walked silently with Saikane.
"How can we let them leave easily? It's annoying! What if Rino gets –"
"Stop worrying." Kenma cuts her sentence before gazing at her with a serious look, the kind of expression he does when he intends to win against that man called Hinata Shouyo. Saikane gulps and nods. Recalling the sudden she received from the pudding-head made her feel slightly weak. This isn't how she wished for her graduating year to go.
"Um… why did you like me?" Saikane asked. "Did? I still like you right now." Kenma answered smoothly. The female blonde gave a lame laugh as she stepped away from her friend.
"I don't know why I started liking you but that's fine. Trying to get a reason for something complicated is a headache." He added while playing, unaware that he was nearing the edge of the sidewalk. Pulling the male close, Saikane didn't hesitate to hold Kenma's wrist so he wouldn't get hit by an oncoming car.
By the time the two realized how close they are, Saikane was already feeling her knees weak with nervousness, unused to the feeling of being liked by someone.
Kenma, deciding to be straightforward, reaches out is hands freezing Saikane with overthinking.
"What's happening? Isn't this the time where most couples kiss in drama because they realize that they like each other? No! I don't like him, not at all!" the blonde's thought didn't go rationally as she panicked about her situation whereas Kenma was as calm as a cat.
As he reached out his hands, it stops on top of Saikane's hair. Picking the leaf that was on her head, Kenma showed it to the female blonde, catching her off-guard. When the pudding-head sees this, he looks away but Saikane catches him hiding a smirk so she scoffs before looking away herself, trying to stay cool when in truth, she's simply burning at the event that transpired. Her brain was fried and her sweat was about to evaporate because of how hot her face is.
Meanwhile, Nagishima and Oikawa walked inside a bakery to buy a slice of cake when the black-haired girl bumps into a man.
Oikawa stops walking to look at the man, only for him to drop his jaw. Nagishima sighed and stared at the man, about to apologize when he catches the appearance of the male she bumped into.
With the male's fair skin and gray hair as well as the gentle look he had on his face, Nagishima gulped as she admired the look of the stranger.
"Ah… um… sorry." Nagishima apologized before bowing then standing up again. She pushes her hair behind her ears and tried to act lady-like.
"It's alright! My cake's fine so…" the gray-haired man smiled kindly as he checked his cake. When he sees it, he gasps. "Damn." He cussed underneath his breath and Nagishima caught his words. "Did it break? I'll buy you another cake so please stay here." She demanded before hurrying to the counter only to be stopped because someone held her wrist. Looking back warily, she sees the stranger hold her.
The stranger blinked and realized what he's doing so he flinches away and bows as he apologized.
"Sorry! I wanted to stop you so you wouldn't have to buy another cake but you probably think I'm a creep, don't you?" the male smiled sheepishly and when Nagishima sees the sincerity in his actions, she feels her lips tugging up. She shakes her head before muttering a soft no.
"You're not a creep. I'll buy you a cake because I'm responsible for ruining the food you bought." She replied softly. The male laughs lightly before shaking his head. "It's fine. Go treat yourself to a cake instead. You look uncomfortable earlier so you might be the one who needs it." He spoke with a caring smile plastered in his face.
"This person… he looks like an angel that was sent to save me." Nagishima thought before nodding bashfully. "Okay, I'm sorry for bothering you. Thank you as well." She said before waving bye. The stranger gave one last smile before leaving the bakery.
Nagishima sighed dreamily as she felt herself laugh lightly. She turns around and sees Oikawa covering his face by zipping his jacket up to his head, making it look like a person doesn't have a head.
The young female gave a deadpan look as she eyed her senior carefully. "Oikawa-san… what are you doing? Are you hiding from someone?" she asked tiredly. Oikawa unzips his jacket and smiles lamely at the younger girl. "No, I just want to try doing that." He then forced a smile on his lips.
"Ahh… is that so? You're free to do whatever you want so go on. Don't let me interrupt you." She motioned for the older male to continue as she walked away.
"Oikawa-kun! It's you!"
Nagishima stops when she hears someone call out to the college male's name. Looking around to catch the person who shouted that, she sees a girl approaching the male brunette.
Oikawa gulped before glancing at Nagishima. He gestures for her to wait and the random girl in front of him notices that.
"Hmm, is that girl someone who you'll do again? How many times do you bed someone in one day?" the girl asked, obviously flirting. Nagishima eyed the girl with suspicion as she tried to listen to her words but couldn't catch a single word at all.
Oikawa bit his lips and smiled at the girl. "She's a friend." He informed as he hoped that the girl would leave.
"Friend? That's weird, you don't simply befriend a girl, you probably want something from her, like her vi –"
"Something?" Nagishima intervened with a frown. The girl smiled at her before looking at Oikawa then pulling him down to whisper in his ears. "Are you playing with her feelings? She looks too innocent to be your type." The lady spoke as if what Oikawa's doing is a funny joke.
The brunette pulled away and pushed his hair back. He then smiles at the girl before pointing at the door. "Can you leave for now?" he asked sweetly but inside, he wanted to shove her away but refraining from doing so because Nagishima was watching him carefully.
The girl giggled before winking at him and leaving. Oikawa sighed in relief before looking at the black-haired female behind him only to see her baffled and suspicious expression.
"Rino, that was –"
"Ah! Someone's calling me, I have to go home." Nagishima lied as she waved her phone. She holds it next to her ears and walks away from the brunette. After seeing him talk to a girl wearing a skimpy outfit, Nagishima felt that something was wrong. Seeing Oikawa smile sweetly without looking fake seemed to scare Nagishima. If he can do that to that girl, does that mean he can do that to her as well?
Thinking about it… it made her feel frightened.
