Even though the Seijoh Volleyball team promised to keep Oikawa’s precious sneeze to themselves, they were faced with the challenge of a lifetime when they were invited to a training camp. Here, they were surrounded by their rivals (on the court) and some really good friends. The players all met on the first day and looked around at the different colored uniforms of Nekoma, Karasuno, Fukurodani, Inarizaki, Itachiyama, Shiratorizawa, Seijoh, and Dateko.
(A/N: Damn…they got the whole rainbow there XD except orange lmao.)
On the first day, the Setters managed to find themselves migrating towards the middle and discussing tips and stuff. The younger Setters were avidly watching as Suga, Oikawa, and Iizuna were talking about their three years as a Setter and their positions as Captains. The younger ones were watching in awe as they also discussed their adorable kouhais. It then prompted everyone to mingle with each other.
It was then that a noise was heard throughout the gym followed by a sniffle. They turned towards the Setters and found Iizuna and Suga staring at Oikawa with wide eyes and red sprinkled across their cheeks. The brunette was rubbing at his nose and brought out his black cherry merlot hand sanitizer and rubbed it on his hands.
As Suga opened his mouth to question the Captain, the brunette was pulled away from them and into the arms of his team. They created a barrier that separated the Captain from his fellow third year Setters. Kyoutani growled while Hanamaki stood in front of the group of Seijoh players.
“You guys heard nothing…got it?”
The dumbfounded third years had only nodded and looked at each other in fright. The next couple of days were going to be hard.

The sneezes went on for a couple of more days with the Seijoh team acting as overprotective parents over their brunette Captain (with Sakusa holding a can of lysol and Komori and Atsumu trying to stop him from spraying the pretty Captain). On the fifth day, when the team showed up without their Captain and Vice, they were bombarded by everyone else. Hanamaki and Matsukawa held a hand up while Yahaba gently explained that Oikawa had come down with a fever in the middle of the night and that Iwaizumi had stayed behind to keep an eye on him.
The ‘Pretty Setters Squad’ and ‘Captains’ squad frowned and looked at each other. Hinata frowned, his hair drooping in sadness. He then perked up and bounced to the middle of the group.
“HEY!!!! How about we make a get well card for Oikawa-san?”
“YEAH!!!!”
Each team went in search of paper and stationary and sat in a spot on the gym floors and began constructing a card. They were wasting practice time, but none of the coaches stopped them. Saying that they were finally getting along for something other than volleyball (even if it were still volleyball related in a way).
By the time they were finished and making their way towards the room Seijoh were at, Hinata nearly ran into Iwaizumi. The Ace lifted the tray he was carrying above his head and braced himself for the impact. Iwaizumi opened his eyes and saw that Suga, Kageyama, and Daichi had some sort of hold on Hinata.
“Hey, aren’t you guys supposed to be practicing right now?”
Hinata hurriedly nodded his head and somehow bounced in his spot, even though three different pairs of hands were holding him down.
“We heard Oikawa-san was sick, so we all made him get well cards!!”
Various people from the other teams held up their get well cards with smiles on their faces. Iwaizumi stared at them in disbelief and in a rare moment, smiled softly at them and nodded his head. The others trailed behind him quietly as he made their way back to their room.
Iwaizumi slid the door open and the others could see the brunette laying on his futon in the far corner of the room, a red blush spread across his cheeks and a cold cloth on his forehead. Iwaizumi sat down and placed the tray next to him. He leaned over and patted Oikawa on his stomach and the brunette slowly woke up.
“Hey, Iwa-chan~”
Iwaizumi winced as he heard the brunette’s voice. He smiled softly and patted the brunette’s hair softly.
“Hey babe, how’re you feeling?”
(A/N: I felt so embarrassed writing that .-.)
Oikawa stared at his boyfriend and coughed a little into his hand (even though he was wearing a mask). Iwaizumi frowned and helped Oikawa to sit up and gave him the glass of water. The sick boy sighed in relief and smiled thankfully at his boyfriend.
“Still a little hot…maybe a little sweaty?”
Iwaizumi nodded and made a mental note to himself to grab a bowl to help Oikawa wash up a bit.
“Oh, by the way, you have some visitors.”
Iwaizumi jabbed his thumb towards the doors and it flew open with Hinata standing there with everyone else behind him. Oikawa stared at the other players that were trying to hide their embarrassment of being caught like that.
The players swarmed into the room, leaving a little bit of breathing space for the sick Captain. Iwaizumi placed the tray with the broth on the brunette’s lap and told him that he could have the visitors if he ate the broth. Oikawa nodded happily and started to slowly sip at the broth as he listened to Hinata retell him about the hectic morning they had and how they scrambled to make a get well card for him.
Oikawa nearly choked on his broth and giggled into his hand. The players stayed until they noticed Oikawa’s eyes slowly closing and announced that they were gonna take their leave and try to practice for the rest of the day.
”Thank you everyone~.”

Two days later, Oikawa’s loud voice rang through the gym.
“Yahoo~”
The players stopped what they were doing and the Seijoh team all ran towards their Captain and jumped on him, leaving snot and tears staining his shirt. Oikawa laughed and patted his teammates on their head. He leaned down and quietly thanked them for waiting patiently for his return. The Seijoh players bawled harder at the Captains words and Oikawa had no choice but to sit on the floor and wait for them to finish crying their eyes out.
After they were done, Oikawa took a cloth and dipped it into ice water and gently dabbed at each one of their eyes to help reduce the swelling and spent some time rubbing at their eyes to help as well. By the time everything was settled, everyone had gone back to what they were doing and watched the Seijoh team from the corner of their eye. Yahaba was leaning against Oikawa’s chest and was talking to Hanamaki, who was sitting with his back against Oikawa. He jerked a bit and caused his hair to rub against Oikawa’s nose. The brunette’s face scrunched up and let out a soft sneeze.
The players stopped and looked at Hinata.
“Bless you…”
The orangette blinked and titled his head to the side in confusion.
“I..didn’t sneeze.”
They collectively turned to look at Oikawa and saw him blowing his nose with Yahaba apologizing profusely. Oikawa was about to tell him to stop when his face scrunched up again and he let out his adorable sneeze. The players looked at the brunette and felt an arrow pierce through their chests.
‘THAT WAS SO FUCKING CUUUUUTE!!!!!!’
They heard someone clearing their throat and turned to see Kageyama staring at them.
“I told you so…”
Cue everyone collectively losing their shit and Seijoh fussing over their Captain to make sure that he wasn’t getting sick again.
