Chapter Text
Yumi had to ask Oikawa to carry you as you were basically numb after the experience. But she was concerned, she wasn't sure if it was fear of falling into the water, or if it was the fact that Oikawa, and whoever else was paying close attention, had seen the ears on the top of your head.
Your eyes were glazed over, unfocused and staring off into the distance as your hands tightly gripped the top of your baseball cap. Did... Did everyone see? What am I supposed to do? How am I supposed to explain what I am? Will they look at me with fear? I'm nothing more than a hybrid, but I- I never asked for this. I never wanted to be a hybrid. I never wanted to live my life in constant fear that people will fear me and look at me as though I was a monster. How come every other hybrid is accepted but I'm not? You didn't even realize that Oikawa was carrying you until you felt the lack of warmth on one side of you, and your eyes widened.
"[L/N]-san?" Oikawa gently whispered. He kept his voice soft and his tone low. He was scared that you would panic and begin fighting against him, much like you did when he had first grabbed you and pushed you towards the surface of the pool. His chocolate orbs were trained onto your shivering figure. Several doors were slid open and closed as Yumi finally found the bathroom in the community center. You were situated in the lobby with several couches and lounge chairs arranged neatly and aesthetically. "[L/N]?"
Did Oikawa-senpai see...? What if.. You shut your eyes close. I don't want to live hiding what I really am.. but for years.. for years I've never been accepted. Even at Niiyama I had been... No, Niiyama was a special situation, that was one where I had no choice but to do so and.. I barely started college you've got to be kidding me. I'm so upset with how everything is playing out I just- I can't breathe.
Your figure was trembling and Yumi finds you and Oikawa. Oikawa hovered around you, unsure what to do and Yumi softly asked, "Has she responded to you?" The shake of his head indicated one of the worst possible situations and Yumi gently calls out your name, her hand about to reach your shoulder. But you flinched away. Your eyes still closed shut and you softly mumble, "Don't touch me."
"[F/N]..."
I'm a monster. I don't belong anywhere. It's.. It's- You feel someone gently cup your cheeks, causing your eyes to fly open and your face to face with Yumi. She gives you a small smile, "Hey, you're okay."
"I... I didn't hurt you, did I?" You voice was hoarse, and almost inaudible. If it weren't for the close proximity, Yumi wouldn't have heard you. She shook her head, and she gently squished your cheeks, "Nope, I'm fine. The only one who might have gotten hurt is Oikawa-senpai."
Your eyes widened at the mention of his name, and Yumi feels you stiffen and she firmly reassures you, "You're okay."
Your eyes leave hers and make contact with Oikawa and you lick your chapped lips, and softly whispered, "I.."
He places a finger to his lips and gives you a soft smile, "Don't worry Kyappu-chan, your kicks didn't hurt."
If it weren't for the situation, your adorably squished cheeks and crestfallen expression almost made him laugh. You wanted to cry and Yumi sighed, "Come on, we need to get those removed before you start getting rashes or something. Plus you need to dry off. Oikawa-senpai will be lending you his spare hoodie, so you can wear that. I have brought an extra pair of shorts in case you wanted to dip, but I didn't think you'd need a shirt. I didn't think that far," Yumi paused and she muttered, "Crap."
You tilted your head, or tried to, her hands were still holding your head still and she muttered, "I don't have a spare bra." Your cheeks flushed red and Oikawa awkwardly coughed. Maybe I shouldn't have heard that part. Whoops. Yumi's cheeks were dusted pink when she remembered Oikawa was still in the room and she asked, "Is your hoodie thick enough?"
Oikawa awkwardly nodded and he hid his face behind his hands, a faint mumble of "What am I doing?" is heard and all three of you are slightly blushing and definitely flustered at this point.
"Look, we feel just as awkward as you do senpai. Besides this is important, [F/N] needs clothes and-" Yumi froze, "Oh my god do you have a spare hat?"
You shook your head. You felt a bit better now that Yumi had calmed you down by gently rubbing your cheeks and you whined, "I didn't even think I'd get into the pool." You coughed lightly, and you muttered, "This sucks."
"Sorry [F/N]-chi," Yumi let go of your cheeks, grabbing the sweater that Oikawa had taken off for you. She stuffs it into a bag with the other clothes and she took your hand, leading you to the restroom. As soon as you left the lobby, Oikawa slumped into one of the chairs.
Both his hands behind his head as he considered what he had witnessed. Outside of your fear of the water, there was something else that had caused you to momentarily go numb. It has to do with the fluffy ears. So Kyappu-chan is a hybrid... Oikawa scratched his head and closed his eyes. But she doesn't look like a hybrid. With fluffy ears like those, she'd have to have a tail somewhere right...? Oikawa sat up, his fingers at his chin as he stroked his imaginary beard. But the footsteps echoing in the lobby caught his attention and he turned to see Iwaizumi with Murase.
"Is she okay?" Murase quickly asked. Oikawa nodded and Iwaizumi opened his mouth, about to ask something else. But upon seeing his friend in merely a muscle shirt and shorts, he asked, "What happened to your sweater?"
"I gave it to Kyappu-chan," Oikawa awkwardly responded. Iwaizumi noticed the faint dust of pink on his best friend's cheeks and his eyes narrowed. Iwaizumi was about to scold the male for possibly being indecent, but Oikawa quickly held his hands up in defense, "It's not what you think Iwa-chan!"
Iwaizumi doubted him, but with the situation that had occurred, he knew that Oikawa wouldn't have done something stupid. He sighed and Murase muttered, "I should've made sure she didn't get too close to the pool."
Iwaizumi shook his head, "There wasn't much we could do in that situation, none of us had paid enough attention even though we knew she couldn't swim."
Murase sighed, running a hand through his hair, "Even then... even then I could have at least stayed beside her. So much for being a great senpai."
"[F/N]! Can you not be like this!?"
"I can't walk out like this Yumi!" you held onto the restroom door, refusing to let go. The boys could hear you guys from the lobby way and Yumi huffed, "Stop being so difficult! We can go home right after this, I'm sure your captain won't mind."
"But I feel bad," you admitted. There was a slight whine in your tone and Yumi loudly complains, "Not even five minutes ago you were all depressed and drowning in your thoughts, and now you're perfectly fine and-" she stops talking, both her hands prying off one of yours and she pulls you out, "Just come out already!"
You tumble out, the hood of the hoodie pulled tightly over your head. Oikawa's sweater was so large on you that it hung past your shorts, and your hands were hidden in the sleeves. You pulled the hoodie strings tighter, your ears were flat against your head and your wings were compacted as closer to your back as possible. You desperately hoped that there wasn't an awkward bump in the back of the sweater though. Yumi gently stood behind you, her hands on her shoulder as she pushed you towards the group of boys.
You diverted your gaze and Oikawa felt the blush creeping onto his face. You had angled your arms so that it covered your chest, a large part of you extremely disturbed by the fact that you had no support at all. Yumi laughed and she whispered, "It's okay the sweater is thick enough to-."
Your face flushed red and your arm stretched out, smacking your best friend on her arm and she laughs at your reaction. She turns to Murase and she asks, "Could you drive us home senpai? I don't think [F/N] can stay any longer. Gotta make sure my roommate doesn't get sick on me."
Murase nodded and he sighed, "I'm so sorry about that. I should've kept a closer eye on you as captain, especially since I knew that you afraid of water and-"
"It's okay," you cut him off. You finished tying off your wet hair in a braid and you gave him a weak smile, "I'm okay Murase-senpai."
He lowered his head, and he whined, "I'm a horrible senpai."
Your eyes widened as you could basically feel the guilt radiating off of him. You flailed your arms slightly and reassured him, "It's okay!" you added, "Alien-senpai was there, so I'm okay."
Oikawa nodded proudly, but then he stopped, looking at you, "Alien-senpai?"
You nodded, "You're Alien-senpai, remember?" Your [e/c] orbs met his chocolate brown and he smiled when he saw how your eyes twinkled with mirth and he chuckled, "Whatever you say Kyappu-chan."
The group waited at the lobby as Murase and Iwaizumi went to go get the car. Murase was originally planning to have all of you guys walk there, but you had lost your sandals during the incident and you had adamantly refused to let anyone carry you for certain reasons that only Yumi and Oikawa appeared to know. You were playing with the ends of your hair, twirling and untwirling, braiding and unbraiding, whereas Yumi and Oikawa watched you from afar.
"Oikawa-senpai," Yumi softly whispered, just loud enough for the male to hear. He turned to her, slight confusion in his eyes and she softly continued, "Whatever you saw today, mention nothing of it."
Oikawa's eyes widened and he let out a breath he didn't realize he was holding. "I won't.. is [L/N]-san.." He notices Yumi stiffen and he mutters, "I see."
"Please," Yumi's voice cracked, and she clenched her fist, "I just want [F/N] to be happy."
Oikawa couldn't say anything. Not when he knew so little of the situation. And not when he saw how scared you were earlier.
He wasn't sure if he wanted to see that again.
***
The ride home was silent, you had fallen asleep almost immediately. Your head drooped forward, until the car turned and your landed against Oikawa. The older male froze, his eyes wide as Yumi stifled a laughter. Yumi placed a finger to her lips and she whispered, "Let her sleep."
Iwaizumi looked back, and he smirked, "What's wrong Trashykawa?" Oikawa pouted and he sighed as he slumped in his seat, purposely making it so that you were resting properly against his shoulder. Your shifted slightly, unconsciously cuddling yourself against his side in search for warmth, causing the former captain to momentarily freak out again, and Yumi giggled, "So cute."
There was silence in the car and Yumi sighed, "She's so defenseless when she's asleep. But when she's awake everything and anything is her enemy."
The boys in the car stayed silent and Yumi smiled at them, "She'll be fine. Don't worry."
As the car pulled up into the parking lot, Yumi tried to wake you up, all of them did, but you were fast asleep against Oikawa. And she sighed, "[F/N]." She shook you, trying to wake you up, but no luck. Oikawa awkwardly sat there and Iwaizumi almost laughed at the deer in headlights look his best friend had.
"Just carry her back to her dorm," Murase said as Yumi helped untangle you from your seatbelt. Oikawa muttered something about indecent, and Iwaizumi shook his head, "Either that or we leave her in Murase-senpai's car."
"Yeah, I'd rather not. Please help me bring this dead weight back home," Yumi laughed. Oikawa gently scooped your figure into his arms once again, this time without the fuss and trouble you had given him earlier. He adjusted your hood, making sure it was still covering everything and he turned to Yumi, "So where to?"
They walked in silence, or rather, Oikawa and you did. Iwaizumi was walking beside Yumi as she excitedly chattered about the swim team and her excitement for the rest of the school year. Oikawa faintly heard her asking for the two boys to watch over you during volleyball practice since you were prone to overwork yourself, to which Iwaizumi added that it reminded him of a certain friend that also overworked himself too much. Oikawa tuned out at some point as he made sure you were still comfortable. He sighed as he adjusted the way he carried you slightly, he didn't want to touch you anywhere inappropriate; if he did he'd be absolutely disgusted in himself.
Oikawa readjusts you, one of his arms unintentionally wraps around your mid back, and suddenly you begin to squirm slightly. He feels something move against his arms, and a soft whimper leaving your lips and Oikawa swear he didn't hear it wrong.
"I'm so sorry. Please don't hurt me."
You shifted again, curling up closer against Oikawa and he adjusts you so your head is resting against his chest, his arms wrapped firmly under your knee and around your waist. It wasn't the most comfortable position, but he had felt the shifting of your wings. Did that cause her to panic in her sleep..? You suddenly calmed down as soon as his arm was no longer applying pressure against your wings and he let out a breath of relief. Her wings aren't around the shoulder blade area like Tsukishima's are. Is that normal or... He shook his head. I shouldn't delve into it. Not when Kyappu-chan wants to hide it so desperately.
Yumi turns around, and she asks, "Are you okay Oikawa-senpai? Do you want Iwaizumi-senpai to switch with you?"
Oikawa shakes his head. In consideration for you, he didn't want anyone else to find out if you weren't ready to tell people and he gives Yumi a smile, "No, I'm fine."
Yumi nods and then an apologetic smile is seen on her face, "Sorry we live in the very back of the housing area."
"It's fine, we used to live in that dorm actually before we switched to our new one," Iwaizumi admitted as they continued walking again. Oikawa was no longer trailing too far behind, but he was more concerned about not suddenly jolting you awake with any sudden movements. Yumi glanced back and she admitted, "You know, my impression of you changed tonight Oikawa-senpai."
"Eh?" Oikawa squeaks out. And he sheepishly smiles at the embarrassing sound and Iwaizumi shakes his head. Yumi laughs, and she continues, "You were pretty popular during high school. So I heard about how you had fangirls and were a bit hesitant about you. I'm glad you're not what the rumors made you out to be."
Oikawa pouts, "What rumors?"
"They weren't good ones senpai. You see... [F/N]'s oblivious to everything outside of school and volleyball, so she knows nothing about you except for how amazing you are in volleyball," Yumi chuckled, a fond smile playing at her lips and she continued, "So I was just worried about my dear friend. I'd rather she not get involved with the wrong people."
As they began to get nearer to the dorm, you had woken up. Your hands gently grabbed Oikawa's shirt as though you were grabbing your blankets like you normally did when you woke up. And he looked down, "[L/N]-chan?"
You blinked once, and then slowly rubbed your eyes before blinking several times. "Oikawa... senpai?" The murmur of your voice was soft and low and Oikawa felt the wings on your back move slightly and he gently asked, "Can you stand?"
But he could tell you weren't fully awake yet. You didn't respond, and your eyes were unfocused as you tried to adjust to your surroundings. Out of reflex, you try to stretch your wings, only to feel yourself being shifted around in place and your droopy eyes shot wide open. Your colored orbs flickered about, meeting the coffee-like orbs of Oikawa's and a furious blush dusts your cheeks.
"Oi-Oi-OIKAWA SENPAI?!" you squeak. Oikawa gives you an awkward smile and he nods his head and asks, "Are you okay?"
Am I okay...? You close your eyes, wondering what he meant by that when everything came rushing back to you. The sudden drop into the pool. Oikawa saving you and possibly realizing you were a hybrid. Being taken home. And... you look around, realizing you were not at the parking lot, or a car, but rather right outside your dorm. Oh my god. If your cheeks were capable of turning any shade darker, they did, and you hid yourself by pulling the hood of the hoodie over your head as much as possible. Oikawa-senpai carried me all the way here?! Then he definitely knows! I can't- That's just- Your brain slightly overloaded with information and you almost wilted. Oikawa-senpai definitely knows I'm a hybrid. Is he doing this out of pity? Does he actually know? Isn't this... Won't he... judge me just like the rest and-
"[L/N]," Oikawa softly called your name, snapping you out of your reverie. You looked at him, and he can feel you tremble. Was it out of fear? And he reassuringly lowered you until your feet touched the ground. The arm around your waist stayed there until you were steady enough to walk and then you felt the gentle pat on your shoulder from him. You look at him, confused and he merely gives you a soft smile and you almost didn't catch it.
"You're okay."
Oikawa was about to walk away after whispering that last bit, but the hand that held the hem of his shirt held him back and he turned around to see your figure shaking. Yumi turns around to see you on your feet, but the way you were trembling and holding onto Oikawa; she knew better than to interfere now.
"Thank you," you softly whisper when he turned around. Oikawa gives you a soft smile and he chuckled, "Of course Kyappu-chan." Oikawa expected you to let go, or at least scold him for using the lame nickname, but you said nothing and your hold on his shirt tightened. He watched your expression, it was in pure distress as you contemplated over the next few words to say, but you couldn't do it. You continued to bite your lip, nibbling the bottom layer as you considered it. I mean, if he already knows then I might as well just-
The gentle hand on your head stopped your thoughts and you looked at him, confused. He gives you a soft smile and he said, "Yumi and Iwa-chan are waiting for us. We'll walk you two up to the door and make sure you guys get inside safely."
"I- ah," you stuttered and looked away, clearly embarrassed and he feels you let go of the shirt and you mumbled, "Okay."
"I see our little troublemaker is awake," Yumi teases. Although the slight glint in her eyes mean otherwise, you weren't completely aware yet to catch it all. You pouted and she gently takes your hand in hers and she smiles, "I'm glad you're okay."
"Sorry for making you guys worry and leave the party early.." you mumble. Iwaizumi shook his head and he responded, "Your health is more important." He holds himself back from admitting that they had felt guilty. Yumi had advised him not to, that it wouldn't be good for your mental health. And he turned to Oikawa, who appeared slightly out of it. They stop though, once they reach the front door and Yumi turns to them, "Thanks for walking us back!"
"You mean carry," Oikawa playfully teased as he glanced at you. You refused to look at him and Yumi gently pats your shoulder and she pushes you in first, "We'll see you guys around!"
As soon as the glass doors close, and the duo see the two of you climbing the stairs towards your room, Oikawa lets out a sigh and runs a hand through his hair. Iwaizumi watched, somewhat confused and he started walking first, knowing that Oikawa would soon follow.
"Ne, Iwa-chan," Oikawa softly called out, catching the attention of his long time friend. Iwaizumi grunted in acknowledgement, but Oikawa didn't immediately start talking. Instead, he quickly mumbled a never mind and a carefree grin, indicating he'd talk about it later; if later ever happened. Iwaizumi frowned, but he nodded. In due time, Oikawa would speak, but for now, he'll leave him be.
***
You sat on your chair, hair still dripping wet, and your wings slowly swaying back and forth as Yumi dried you off for you. You were still dazed with what had happened and she sighed, "At least dry your hair girl."
Your arms felt as though they were filled with lead as you slowly maneuvered them until you were gently rubbing your hair dry. You let out a soft sigh of content as Yumi finishes drying off your wings for you and she muttered, "You're such a handful whenever you're out of it." She waited for a response, but she peeked over to see you still spacing out and she sighed. Although she knew that you were very out of it, and very much tired of everything, it didn't seem right for you to suddenly just stop thinking about it. She had no idea what was going through your brain, and even if she wanted to know, you wouldn't have told her anyways.
She lets go of your wing, and your muscle memory kicks in as they compact themselves against your back, looking like two dark purple, almost black, triangles in the middle of your back. She frowned and she slapped your back, causing you to sit up straight, but still no retort. Gods, she really is out of it.
You absentmindedly dried your hair, only to feel Yumi take your hands away from the towel as she helped you. Ah, you made a mental note to thank her later, and she slowly begins to hum a random tune from a song on the radio. Your mouth moves to for the words, but no sound leaves your mouth. Your eyes closed and you lean towards your best friend's touch. Maybe I'll stop hiding it. There are plenty of hybrids on campus anyways. But... it's just so scary... You feel Yumi gently pull at the ears on your head and you looked up, clearly unamused and she smirked, "So this brings you back to reality, eh?"
You merely hum in response and your eyes close again. I wonder how much Oikawa-senpai saw. And he probably knows about the wings on my back since he carried me. You feel a bit of heat rush to your face. I can't believe he carried me from the parking lot to here. It's such a long walk. Man... if only the back parking lot was open, then- You wanted to shake your head, but Yumi's hold on your hair was she even blow dried it for you caused you not to. This is embarrassing, how am I supposed to face that Alien again?
"[F/N]," Yumi softly called your name. The ears that had flattened on your head slightly perk up, indicating you were listening and she asked, "Don't you think you should tell your volleyball club at least? They're going to find out eventually and..." she trailed off. Leaving the last part unsaid cause both of you knew what it meant and you murmured, "Maybe."
Not yet. Your eyes close and you rest your chin on the back of the chair as you enjoyed the heat from the hair dryer. But I'll definitely tell them.
***
"Ara ara, you came back Murase!" Amiya casually greeted as Murase walked through the pool gates. He gave her a small smile and she asked, "So how's Joker-chan?"
"Did you already know?" Murase asked, there was a slight hint of irritation in his voice and Amiya asked, "About?"
Although her expression implied she knew nothing, the tone of her voice and the glint in her eyes did not go unnoticed by Murase and he stated, "So you did."
"You know Murase, if you keep being so vague, I'll never understand you. Come on, you should tell me what it is that's bothering you, partner," she stated seriously. Her eyes had lost the hint of playfulness and Murase quickly glanced around, ensuring that they were alone, which they were. He stood up, walking a bit further away, knowing that Amiya would follow. He stops and whispers, "Is she really the same girl from 3 years ago?"
"I believe she is. Aren't you glad, Murase?" Amiya asked softly. And he nodded his head, a small and grateful smile on his face, "Thank god she's okay."
"Mm, well, I don't know if okay is the right term though." Amiya shifted and then she laughed, "Well, it seems as though she's in a better disposition than we are at least." She sees him freeze, and her hand gently takes his, bringing him back to reality and she gently rubs a soft circle on his hand, "Agito," his eyes widen at the usage of his name and she continues, "I'm not 100% certain Joker-chan is her, but please watch over her. And if she really is then..." Amiya pauses, "Well, we'll figure that out later."
She let's go of his hand and in a playful tone she asks, "Wouldn't it be nice if she wasn't though?"
She didn't receive a response, but the slight nod of his head indicated his feelings. Yes, it would be the best case scenario if she wasn't.
***
You woke up, your hands clutching an unfamiliar object that was clearly not your blanket and you rubbed it gently with your fingers. It's so soft... You leaned in, rubbing it against your cheek. But the scent from it threw you off and your eyes widened as you sat up in a frenzy. Yumi looked at you in surprise, she had brought back breakfast for the both of you from the cafeteria and she asked, "You okay?"
She notices your eyes were focused on Oikawa's sweater and she laughs, "That's from Oikawa-senpai."
"Oh my god," you whispered. Yumi watched in amusement as your face turned red and she teased, "What were you thinking?"
"N-No! You're misunderstanding, I just-" You stuttered and froze. Okay yeah, what the hell, I totally just thought it smelled nice and- Is that his scent? Wait. No stop. You dive back under your covers, throwing the sweater to the foot of your bed and Yumi hears a muffled cry of anguish from you and she laughs, "You're so innocent, it's cute."
You sit up as you hear Yumi walk over and she hands your tray of food to you. You gratefully took it and she comments, "I expected you to wake up later. This is pretty early for you."
"Look." you grumbled with food in your mouth, "Just because I'm part nocturnal does not mean I can't function in the day."
"You do function better at night though," Yumi points her fork at you. And she stuffs her mouth with a biscuit. She thoroughly finishes it and she waves her fork, "On another note, do you need to redye your hair? The purple is starting to show again."
You immediately pull your hair over your shoulder, inspecting the ends and you sighed, "Why am I such a weird hybrid?"
"I think you're cute." Yumi casually responded and you blanched at her. And then muttered, "Stupid DNA in me causes me grief."
"That was three years ago," Yumi commented nonchalantly, and instantly regretted it when she saw the flicker of anger and sorrow in your eyes. She placed her now empty tray on her bed and she sighed, "You're fine now aren't you? I know I never pry because I know you're still haunted by it, but what exactly is it that created this whole 'I'm-Not-A-Hybrid-What-Are-You-Talking-About' thing?"
You flinched, and you shake your head, refusing to go back to the memories of the summer before high school and you muttered, "I just feel so guilty... and at the same time I'm still scared."
Yumi wanted to ask more, but she saw you clench your fork until it snapped and you looked at it in shock and Yumi handed you a second one before mumbling, "Take it easy [F/N], no one's going to hurt you."
"Easy for you to say."
She shook her head, "I may not know all the details, but times have changed. In the past three years, times have changed. We all witnessed it."
"Even then-"
"[L/N] [F/N]," Yumi firmly called out. Your ears flattened against your back and she sighed in exasperation. She didn't speak afterwards, cause you knew she was just trying to pull you out of your thoughts. To prevent you from drowning in them. And she smiled, "The only thing you should be worrying about right now is the amount of homework you have on your plate."
Immediately your eyes widened and you climbed off the bed, making sure to move your empty tray onto your desk to prevent it from being knocked over. Yumi chuckled as she saw you frantically trying to get ready while packing up. Looks as though today was going to be a long day at the library.
***
"I'm. So. Tired." Yumi whined as she leaned against you as the two of you left the library. You nodded in agreement and sighed, "At least we're ahead for our classes though."
"I'm never trusting you again when it comes to reminding me what's due." Yumi pouted, and you smiled, "It's better to be ahead than behind though!" Yumi nodded and then she sighed, "We stayed so late..."
Her gaze trails upwards, and you follow her gaze. The sun has already set, with several rays of sunlight just barely peaking through, painting parts of the sky in hues of orange and red, while the remainder of the unlit sky was a fading purple and pink. You smiled, content as the breeze in the air gently played with your hair and you turned to Yumi, a bright grin on your face and she blinked, completely caught off guard at how relaxed you were.
"I want to fly," you casually blurted out. Your eyes shining with the urge to just enjoy the night sky and Yumi sighed, "Do that after we get back to the dorm. I am not carrying your stuff."
You look at her excitedly and grinned, "We could fly back."
"No."
"But Yumi," you playfully whined, grabbing her hand. Your friend shook her head and she laughed, "I am not responsible for whatever injuries may occur. Besides, I'm heavy."
"Ah true," you agreed, only to receive a slap on the arm as both of you laughed. Yumi shook her head and she said, "Come on, let's go grab something to eat at the town center."
The walk there was filled with chatter, whether it was complaints about your workload or how different it was to be in college compared to high school, the two of you thoroughly enjoyed each other's company. The two of you arrive at the bridge that connects the campus to the town center, but a certain two figures in front of you caught your attention.
"Iwaizumi-senpai! Alien-senpai!" you called out, surprising Yumi. The two males look back, clearly surprised to see the two of you. You wave to them and glance over to Yumi, and she fondly sighs, "What luck we have."
"Kyappu-chan!" Oikawa called out in response. He backtracked, with Iwaizumi following behind him and he asked, "What were you two doing on campus?"
"Studying."/"Homework." the two of you respond in sync, but with different answers. You both laugh and Yumi asked, "What about you two?"
"Same," Iwaizumi sighed and he turned to look at you, "You don't by any chance have the last part of the notes for the last class do you [L/N]-san? Oikawa and I missed it cause we left early."
"Oh I do!" you nodded, and you were about to pull it out of your messenger bag, but the rumble of your stomach caused you to blush red and lower your head in embarrassment. Oikawa laughed and he said, "Wanna eat dinner with us? As your senpais, we'll treat!"
Iwaizumi immediately narrowed his eyes and muttered, "Don't go putting words in my mouth."
"But Iwa-chan! We're their senpais!"
"Yeah Iwaizumi-senpai! You're so stingy!" Yumi playfully teased. Iwaizumi was shocked that Yumi would mess around with him and he sighed, "Fine."
Yumi and Oikawa exchange playful glances and hi-five each other as soon as the burly black-haired male turned around. You shook your head fondly and Yumi skipped forward, immediately apologizing to Iwaizumi who just shook his head, taking it all in stride. You fell in step with Oikawa and happily hummed. Today was a good day. Your eyes turned to the setting sky once more, stopping on the bridge and just gazing at it momentarily. Yup. Today feels like a good day.
