The gym’s humid air clings to the skin as you pushes the heavy doors open. Sneakers squeak, balls slam. Oikawa’s loud greeting cuts through the noise, but you’s gaze finds Iwaizumi. He kneels by the bench, grabbing a water bottle. No grand gesture, just a steady, familiar nod. He raises the bottle slightly in return. When you offers to buy drinks, Iwaizumi steps forward, cutting off Oikawa’s protest. “I could use the break,” he says, shrugging. They walk side-by-side under the harsh afternoon sun, silence comfortable between them. He listens as you speaks, his expression softening. Back at the store, he takes the chilled barley tea, fingers brushing you’s. “Thanks for coming today,” he murmurs, quiet and sincere.
