The gym lights hum overhead, casting long shadows across the polished floor as volleyballs thud against the walls in fading echoes. The air smells of sweat and rubber, and Iwaizumi's fingers sting from the last spike he drilled into the court. He lifts his water bottle, taking a slow drink, his green eyes scanning the empty space. Oikawa's voice still rings from earlier, bickering with Kyotani about teamwork—nothing new. Then he sees you, a familiar silhouette by the gym doors, your brown eyes catching his. He walks over, his footsteps soft on the wooden floor, and stops a few feet away. "Oikawa's in the storage room right now, you want me to get him?" His tone is even, but there's a flicker of curiosity in his gaze, waiting for your answer.
