iwaizumi yawned, feeling too tired to get up from his comfortable bed. he pulled his sheets closer to his face and contemplated if he should get up now or in a few minutes. that was, until he heard familiar text tone from his bestfriend.

AT LEAST CALL ME BY MY
ACTUAL NAME IWA-CHAN

"thank you for working this morning shift, l/n-chan!" y/n's manager said gratefully, doing most of the heavy lifting as y/n got the bakery ready for the day.

although she'd waken up at four in the morning for this, she was glad she could help her manager - plus the extra pay was always nice. "it's no problem, iruka-san. i'm sorry i have to leave soon for school, though."

iruka set a box down and waved it off, "it's fine, these boxes needed to be moved the same time as when i usually need the shop to be set up. oh, that reminds me, thursday you have off since my kids are coming, would that be okay?"

y/n nodded, quickly turning her attention to the bakery entrance bell ringing, notifying them of a new customer. "welcome to iruka's bak- iwaizumi-san?"

iwaizumi looked up, noticing his classmate behind the cashier with a cute f/c apron on. his eyes widened at the sight, surprised yet flustered.

"oya? iwa-chan, do you know her?" oikawa mumbled, though it failed as y/n was able to hear him.

"she's in my class- never mind that, get your milk bread and let's go, shittykawa." iwaizumi grumbled, smacking the back of the brunette's head and taking a seat near the counter.

y/n laughed at the interaction, the brunette boy walking up to the girl with a scowl directed to the older teen. he sighed, then gave the girl a smile, "classic milk bread please~"

"coming right up... shittykawa-san?" she replies, giggling a bit to the nickname her classmate called him.

"hah?!" he yelped, surprised of her reply and immediately looked to iwaizumi. "iwa-chan! did you tell her to call me that?! you're turning everyone against me! tooru oikawa hater!"

iwaizumi chuckled at the beginning, but grew annoyed at the whiney voice he portrayed, "shut the hell up, shittykawa! l/n-san's new and she's chill, unlike some ass i know."

y/n laughed once more, calling for a classic milk bread for the brunette, "i apologize oikawa-san, i hear iwaizumi-san call you that a lot."

oikawa sighed dramatically, getting the bag from the girl. he placed the yen on the exchange tray and saw that there were two milk breads along with a few protein bars in the bag.

he looked back up at the girl with a raised brow, silently questioning why there was more than he got. y/n noticed and gave a brighter smile. "enjoy the treat, you guys did well with the improvisation at yesterday's game."

the brunette's eyes widened, then relaxed into a playful look, "thank you l/n-chan!" oikawa says happily, grabbing the change from the exchange tray.

iwaizumi sighed in relief, getting up and walking to the cashier, "ready, shittykawa?"

"just a moment iwa-chan." oikawa replied, turning back to the cashier, "l/n-chan, what time does your shift end this morning?"

y/n looked at the clock, reading 06:55. "about five minutes, why, oikawa-san?"

"why don't we walk to school together?!" oikawa cheered as if he had just came up with the world's best plan.

"oi, let's not bother l/n-san-" iwaizumi was interrupted by y/n.

"it's fine, iwaizumi-san. if you two don't mind waiting, i'd love to walk with you two there."

"ne, l/n-chan, you're new right? where did you used to go?" oikawa asked, striking up a conversation with the h/cnette as soon as they were on their way to school.

"nekoma high school in tokyo. i was the manager for their volleyball team, they were also rivals with karasuno high, but they haven't been able to play in years." y/n informed the two volleyball players.

oikawa hummed, "karasuno, eh? is it that infamous trashcan showdown people used to be on about?"

y/n nodded, surprised that oikawa remembered the name of the matches, despite not knowing much of either teams. "yup! it'd be fun to watch it at nationals." the boys were about to argue when she continued, "but aoba johsai's going this year."

the two looked at her in awe, iwaizumi remembered what she'd said yesterday, but hearing it again was like confirmation that they will go to nationals this year.

"that's right, l/n-chan! we're going to beat karasuno and shiratorizawa." oikawa cheered playfully, but iwaizumi knew better. oikawa will work his ass off for that to happen, and he'll be there to spike every ball he sets.
