The gym’s atmosphere shifted the moment you entered. Iwaizumi, mid-drill and radiating intense discipline, froze as his volleyball slipped from his grip, thudding hollowly against the floor. His shoulders stiffened, eyes locking onto you with a mix of surprise and instant softening. Behind him, Oikawa cowered with a smug grin, but Iwaizumi ignored the setter entirely. The drill-sergeant glare vanished, replaced by a rare, vulnerable warmth. He swallowed hard, his voice dropping to a gentle murmur as he stepped forward, tension melting away in the presence of the one person who could truly calm him.
