Practise was over, his homework was done and Iwaizumi Hajime was completely and utterly bored out of his mind. He didn't even have Tooru to bother since he was intent on rewatching a number of volleyball matches of the teams they would face in their next tournament. The guy's first love would always be goddamn volleyball, Iwaizumi thought with a dismissive roll of his eyes. 

His gaze flitted through his small room and soon landed on his cellphone, laying abandoned on his desk where he'd left it a few hours ago while he focused on actually getting work done. Maybe there was someone he could text. Though who was he kidding, it wasn't like he had many friends besides Tooru. Picking himself up from his position on his bed, he reached for his phone and started thumbing through the contacts. Someone on the team? They're probably busy, how about no. Kuroo, then? He quickly scrolled on, shaking his head. Yaku? Tooru had put the Nekoma's number in his phone not soon after the two had become good friends, demanding that Hajime strike up a conversation and actually be social for once. 

Thinking for a while, he considered just sending a simple 'hello' to start things up, but then he figured if Oikawa was so adamant about him "being social" he might as well have it bite him in the ass instead.

7. First Date

Second year and Kuroo can't believe Yaku finally accepted going out with him. He'd insisted in his crush to the point of annoyance nearly, chasing the shorter boy through school corridors and grinning at him during volleyball practises, always going out of his way to well... show off. And capture the other's attention. He still couldn't figure out how he'd gotten it, Yaku's heart finally his, but fuck if Tetsurou wasn't utterly giddy about it.

He was nervous, and it showed, his hands running over his hair over and over as he waited in front of Yaku's doorstep. It was chilly, but not cold, and Kuroo had picked a nice set of clothes, even slicked his hair back a bit with gel to look more presentable, the finely cut blazer something out of character even, but fuck if his school life lately didn't revolve around impressing his crush.

Kuroo flicked through his phone to text his boyfriend — and he had to stop to savour at how great the word felt on his tongue — that he had already arrived, and was just waiting to take the other to the movies. It wasn't a long walk, but he figured it would be nice enough of his to take the other to a kung-fu movie that was showing nearby. He remembered Morisuke being a close fan, and even if that meant not much making out was going to take place in that movie, his date would be impressed.

And they could always make out afterwards.

Huh, what? Talk about yourself, I'm a professional." If that statement was made by someone from Nekoma, the person would be most likely sprawled on the floor after a well given punch but he couldn't bring himself to act this way towards Akaashi, it was like there was a wall between them and it was probably better this way. "Yes, he is, he and Kai, a complete change from our last captain." He raised an eyebrow, wondering if the other was lost "Well, I like fps too, but with something else like the Tom Clancy's franchise."
