Chapter Text
"I want to see Oikawa play against Iwaizumi," Matsukawa mused as he and Hanamaki eyed the list of teams that hadn't played each other yet.
"Oh, a Battle of the Kings would be fun," Hanamaki agreed cheerfully.
"Hurry up and pick the next match," Kenma muttered. "The sooner you do, the sooner this will be over."
"All right, all right," Hanamaki hummed. "Kageyama and Oikawa, your teams are up!" There was a pause.
"I'll crush you and break our tie, Tobio-chan," Oikawa declared. "Even if I don't want to go against my Iwa-chan," he added, shooting a glare at Suga.
"I've been on teams that have beaten you and Ushijima recently," Kageyama retorted. Oikawa narrowed his eyes and opened his mouth to reply, but Iwaizumi stepped onto the court at that moment.
"Let's get started," Iwaizumi said calmly. Lev bounced onto the court after him, and Kageyama followed with one last glare at Oikawa, who took the ball and went to serve first. It was a wonderful, powerful serve, and it might have gotten Oikawa's team a point if it hadn't been for the fact that the ball seemed to be drawn to Iwaizumi, who received it cleanly and sent it to Kageyama, who set the ball back to Iwaizumi. Ushijima managed to block the spike, and Kageyama started to apologize, but Iwaizumi just patted him on the back. "Don't worry about it. We'll get the next one," he assured easily. Kageyama blinked, then nodded and turned to face the net. Oikawa scowled. How dare Iwaizumi pat Kageyama on the back and be so calm about it! Kageyama was the enemey, and...speaking of the enemy...
"You'll get the next one," Suga called from the sidelines. Oikawa grumbled and went to serve again, telling himself that he would aim for the tall one this time. Just as he was jumping, however, Iwaizumi met his gaze on the other side of the net and winked. The ball went straight for Iwaizumi, who received it easily. Kageyama set to Lev, who managed to get the ball over Bokuto's block. Ushijima somehow received, and the ball went fairly neatly to Oikawa, who tried to dump the ball. Unfortunately for Oikawa, Iwaizumi read the attack and kept it from hitting the ground. One set from Kageyama later, and Iwaizumi slammed the ball to the sand on Oikawa's side of the court. Iwaizumi grinned and turned to offer Kageyama a high five. Oikawa scowled. Suga blew Iwaizumi a kiss, making him blush. Oikawa scowled harder. Not only was Kageyama setting to Iwaizumi, but Iwaizumi seemed to be enjoying it - and that demon of a setter was still flirting with him!
Kageyama served again, Bokuto managed to get the ball right to Oikawa, who set it...over the net. He tossed it, perfect form, perfect aim...but he set it over the net, right toward Iwaizumi. For a moment, there was utter silence. Iwaizumi was so stunned that he barely managed to get the ball to Kageyama to set to Lev. At first, everyone thought it was a fluke, but then... Kageyama served, Ushijima received, Oikawa set...to Iwaizumi. Who apparently was the only one expecting it to happen again, and was in the perfect position to slam the ball down to the sand on Oikawa's side of the court with a direct hit.
"Um, Oikawa? Kageyama is the one who's supposed to be setting for Iwaizumi right now," Kuroo called. Oikawa crossed his arms and turned away.
"Yeah! Your balls are supposed to be going to Bokuto and Ushijima!" Hanamaki jeered. Oikawa glared at Hanamaki, while Kageyama served again. This time, the ball went straight for Oikawa, who received.
"Bokuto, get-"
"Bokuto, Akaashi said you two made out in the locker room after practice last week! Is that true?" Kuroo shouted, drowning out Oikawa's words. Bokuto yelped and flailed, but managed to toss the ball toward Ushijima. Unfortunately, Bokuto's aim was off, and the ball hit Ushijima in the head when he went to spike it.
"At least Asahi isn't the only one getting balls to the face," Suga whispered in a very carrying tone.
"Oikawa, you're officially losing to Kageyama," Hanamaki announced. Oikawa scowled, determination overriding his frustration. He was going to beat Kageyama and end this match so he could get Iwaizumi away from Kageyama and Sugawara. Unfortunately, Oikawa realized that he probably couldn't do that with just Bokuto. So he bitterly resigned himself to using every available resource. So when Kageyama served, and Bokuto got the ball to Oikawa, he set it to Ushijima, who slammed the ball past Lev's block. It was Ushijima's turn to serve then, and he overshot the court and nearly knocked Nishinoya over.
Lev's serve hit the net. Bokuto's made it over, but he saw Suga outright snuggling up to Akaashi out of the corner of his eye, so the serve didn't have much power, and Lev actually managed to receive it. Kageyama set to Iwaizumi, but this time, when Iwaizumi jumped, Oikawa caught his eye and tried Suga's method of distraction by blowing him a kiss.
Iwaizumi slammed the ball to the court, apparently unaffected. Oikawa pouted.
"Come on, don't stoop to that, Tooru," Iwaizumi called. Oikawa blinked and stared at him. Iwaizumi just met his gaze steadily, then went to serve. Just as Iwaizumi jumped to serve, Oikawa decided to try a demon-Sugawara tactic one more time and sidled up to Ushijima, going to far as to lean against his side. Iwaizumi's serve went straight for Ushijima's face, and Oikawa smirked as he pulled Ushijima down, out of harm's way, despite how much he would have enjoyed seeing him take one of Iwaizumi's serves to the head. The ball went out of bounds. Oikawa skipped to his place and served straight to Iwaizumi, knowing he would receive it. When Kageyama set to Iwaizumi, Oikawa barely managed to hold back his frustration and blocked the spike. Iwaizumi blinked and hesitated at seeing Oikawa suddenly jumping in front of him, and didn't put as much power as usual into it. Oikawa grinned and went to serve again.
"Iwa-chan, let's finish this already," Oikawa called as he served, pointedly aiming at Lev this time. When Lev fumbled the receive and Kageyama was scrambling to cover, Oikawa ducked under the net, walked right up to Iwaizumi, and kissed him soundly. There was a faint sound as the ball hit the sand. Apparently Kageyama had been caught off guard and dropped the ball. Oikawa smirked against Iwaizumi's lips at the utter silence that descended.
"Red card!" Hanamaki and Matsukawa chorused. "No making out on the court!" Oikawa blinked and turned to look at them, only for Iwaizumi to take advantage and dip him into another kiss.
"You're both disqualified!" Hanamaki announced after the two had been kissing for almost a full minute. "You're disrupting the match!"
"Okay," Iwaizumi said with a shrug, scooping Oikawa up and carrying him off the court, leaving everyone stunned.
"Sorry, but that means both of their teams are disqualified, too," Matsukawa announced. Oikawa grinned and laid his head on Iwaizumi's shoulder.
"Good. Tobio-chan can't play anymore," Oikawa said smugly. Iwaizumi shook his head and kept walking.
"You know this means you're still tied with him, right?" Iwaizumi pointed out.
"Wait, no! Take me back! I need to finish the match!" Oikawa squawked.
"Too late! You've been banned for PDA!" Hanamaki called. "Bye, Oikawa!"
"Okay, so why did you give up on the potential teasing from them having actually kissed each other on the court?" Suga complained. Matsukawa and Hanamaki turned to him solemnly.
"He was beginning to use Ushijima. We couldn't let that happen. He might have made a comeback," Matsukawa explained.
"Besides, we can always harass them about this later," Hanamaki added. "By the way, Suga, your team is up next."
"What? We just played!" Tendou complained.
"Too bad," Matsukawa and Hanamaki replied in unison.
