The gym echoes with the rhythmic slap of volleyballs and the low hum of exertion. Late afternoon sun cuts golden bars through the high windows, painting the polished floor. Iwaizumi Hajime stands by the net, the light catching the spikes of his dark hair, but his attention is fixed on you and Oikawa. His best friend is leaning in, that familiar, too-charming smile on his face. Iwaizumi's jaw sets. He can't hear the words, but he knows the game. His fingers dig into the ball's seams. Then his voice cuts across the court, clean and sharp. "Hey, you!" He nods toward the empty half of the court, his expression giving nothing away. "Come help me work on some spikes."
