First Impressions (Haikyuu Fanfic)

Chapter Five - It Was No Accident

"Have you thought of a penalty for Tanaka - Senpai and Nishinoya - Senpai yet?" Hinata asked me as I changed behind the curtain. Today is the day of the Cultural Festival and everyone has been pretty excited about it. Oikawa plans on making an appearence today as well; saying that he wants to see his 'beautiful prince' cosplaying as a girl. I had opposed this idea of his but he insisted that he really wanted to come. This was around the time when Nishinoya and Tanaka dropped paint all over the two of us from the classroom above. They claimed that they only tried to hit Oikawa, but I am sure they tried to get me on purpose. Not only had I got pretty mad at them, but Daichi as well and our Captain told me that I could create a penalty for them; whatever I wanted to punish them with, I was allowed. I haven't come up with anything yet, but I am contemplating some things. "No, not yet. I'll come up with something for during our Training Camp." I replied to the ginger, who is already in his pirate outfit. Yamaguchi is in his butler outfit as well. The two of them look supposingly rather dashing. . . and then there's the three of us. "How the hell do girls walk in these?" Kageyama cursed as he stumbled over our way. We are all forced to wear heels, those of us dressed up as girls anyways. I don't feel too bad in them, but I still can't walk in them. Tsukishima is having a hard time too, especially since his dress drags on the floor and he keeps stepping on it. "You're going to have to walk more smoothly when we go out there." I told him, getting up from my seat and sliding my sword into it's holder. "I know that." Kageyama hissed at me, while practicing walking around. "Come here, Tsukishima - Kun. You're going to have to help me walk around." I told him, holding my arms out. I can barely see a thing. Everyone looks like a big blob and I can just make out the forms of others. "Why can't you see again?" Tsukishima asked me, taking me by the elbow. "Ukai - Kun broke my glasses the other night and I couldn't find my contacts. I was lucky that Hinata - Kun came along when I was about to run into a pole this morning." I replied as Tsukishima led me out of the 'back room'. "How are you going to serve and take orders?" Yamaguchi asked me. I shrugged, I'll manage somehow. In actual fact, Ukai - kun is coming to deliver me another pair of glasses later today, but I don't know when."Remember the little bet we made." Kageyama warned me. "I don't intend on losing." I told him. During the Cultural festival, all males that are participating, have to wear a paper heart on the front of their outfit. The visitors are all given three golden star stickers and they are allowed to pin these stickers onto the boy of their choice. The guy with the most stars in each year gets a surprise of somesort. Tsukishima was the one to place our own little competition. The one who has the most stickers out of the five of us gets to plelt the other four with Volleyballs. I agreed to this; as they say: 'no pain, no gain'. I think it would also be fun to replay the whole, 'Volleyball to the back of Kageyama's head' again. It would be hilarious. "People are starting to arrive. Our team down at the front, must be doing a very good job." One of the girls said as we approached. "Ah, Niko - Kun you look so cute!" Another girl exclaimed, I think she is looking me up and down. I can't make out her face. I am wearing a long white wig and a floral patterened kimono. Apparently, I am cute. Hinata took a picture for me on my phone so that I can take a look later. "Thank you." I thanked, bowing to them and then standing as someone came into the door. It looks like two girls from another school. "Welcome." Us Cosplayers greeted. The girls squealed, probably also looking over the lot of us. Kageyama was the one to take them to one of the tables we have set up. Obviously trying to get a head start on us. I sighed and shook my head, this is going to be a very long festival.

"Welcome." I greeted, squinting at the three males at the door. "Very cute, Niko - Chan." Shimada's voice said. I could feel the heat creeping up my neck and I attempted to control it. "Would you like to come in?" I asked, motioning for them to follow me. I heard their footsteps behind me, telling me that they are following me. I have memorized the floorplan of how everything is set up in our classroom and thankfully, I haven't run into anything. I also have the most golden star stickers too, that is what Yamaguchi has reported to me anyways. "I have your glasses by the way." Ukai's voice told me as the three of them sat down at the table I had taken them too. "Arigatou. It's been hard without them." I admitted taking the spectacles from my cousin's hands. I slid them onto my face and the whole room cleared up, the blobs becoming distinct people. "You know, I never thought I'd see the day. It's nice to see you in this kind of attire too." Takinoue told me, gazing at me amoursly. I shook my head and gently tapped him on the head with my notepad. "Flattery will not make me give you back the money you lost." My grin widened as the man gave me a frown. I'd won seventy odd dollars at our little poker night. I was in luck. "So what will you have, gentlemen?" I asked, leaning against their table. "I'll have a black coffee." Ukai told me. "I'll have a green tea, honey in it please." Shimada added, pressing his hands together in a please motion. "Can I try whatever this is?" Takinoue asked, turning the little menu we had so that I could see. I wrote the name of the drink down and then flashed them a peace sign. "Righto. I'll be back in a flash." I told them in the cutest voice I could muster. Ukai laughed and pushed me towards the 'back' of our little cafe. I always get away with pretending to be cute and stuff. I never really get the chance to act like a girl with anyone but them. "I won't let you win." Kageyama told me as I showed the girls my order list. "Well I am not letting you serve a volleyball to the back of my head that's for sure." I replied, flashing him a smile. The boy glared at me but this is all just sport. I took my tray from the girls and took it back out to my table, gently placing each mug in front of them. "No wonder you have the most stars. You're the only one who seems to have any composure." Ukai said, looking over my shoulder and looking at the boys behind me. It is true that Tsukishima has already tripped over his feet twice today and Kageyama's scowl seems to scare people away. Hinata is doing pretty well, his little boy act seems to work marvels on the girls that enter. "They're not too bad. I'd like to see you in a dress and do what they're doing." I said, looking to Takinoue. "W-what? Why me?" He asked, looking between me and his other two friends that are nodding and looking at him with the same eyes that I am. "It's just. . . You would make a passible tranny." Shimada noted. I laughed along with Ukai at the man's comment. Shimada always says things that we're all too afraid to say aloud. That's why I love the man so much. "Nikooo - Chan!!" That obnoxious voice called. I got tackled from behind and I very well nearly toppled into my cousin. I staggered but was caught by Oikawa who'd wrapped an arm around my waist to keep me from falling into the table. "What are you doing here?" I asked, removing his arm from myself and pushing his chest to make him take a step back. "Ah, I promised I'd come! Remember? Remember?" He asked, giving me large puppy eyes and pointing to himself. I actually do remember him telling me he was coming today, but I wish I could forget it. "No. You should go back to school and stop skipping." I told him, making a slow run away sign to Kageyama and Tsukishima who are somewhere behind me. I am sure that they wouldn't want Oikawa to see them in their current attire. "You look sooo cute Niko - Chann! I want to give you a big hug!" Oikawa yelled. It took me a moment to register what he had said but before I could even react to it, someone slipped in between Oikawa and I; stopping the hug completly. "Don't touch my underclassmen." Nishinoya said, probably glaring at the other boy. "Yeah, pretty boyyy! Go away!" Tanaka said, making the most hideous face. "I don't have to listen to youu!" Oikawa whined, trying to get around our short Libero to me. The three boys began to make a scene and I shook my head. "Stop it. Get a grip." I said, trying to get in between the lot of them so that they would stop. I saw Ukai out of the corner of my eye begin to get up. He would probably be more effective with stopping them that I. However, this was about the time where Nishinoya's elbow somehow smashed into my face, my glasses falling to the ground. A sickening crunching sound met my ears, someone must have stepped on my glasses. . . "Ah! Niko - Kun! Sorry!" Nishinoya exclaimed, a blob appearing in front of me as I brought my hand up to my nose as it began to bleed. "Niko - Chan! Gomen, gomen!" Oikawa also apologized. "Idiots! I told you to stay in your own classroom!" Daichi's voice came from somewhere. Our Captain must have told the second years to stay the hell away from us. Tanaka and Nishinoya always seem to cause trouble wherever they go. "Oi, are you okay?" I turned to see a blob with dark hair walking towards us. I think it is Kageyama, although the light blue blob that should be his dress is not there. He must have changed. "Yeah I'm fine. I just need to go to the nurse's office." I said, walking in the direction of the door, using my non bloody hand as a barrier so that I wouldn't run into anyone. "Here." Oikawa's voice said, as a hand took mine. "Don't cause any trouble." Kageyama warned his former upperclassmen. "Shut up, stupid King." I heard Oikawa say under his breath. I was surprised by the hatred in his voice; I wonder what he has against the boy? "Do you even know where you are going?" I asked, as I bumped into someone. I stumbled in these stupid heels, Oikawa is moving too fast for me. The third year stopped and I felt him move behind me, taking my shoulders in his hands and steering me. "I have been to this school before. Don't worry. I know where I'm going." He told me, slowly maneovering me around the hall of bustling people. I nodded slightly and trusted him for the moment. I don't have much of a choice at this point. "Alright. Turn left." He instructed. I did as he said, squinting as we walked. I think we are in the nurse's office, it sorta looks like it. "Alright, sit up here." Oikawa helped me ease up onto something and he left my side for a moment. I watched his blob as he moved about the room. He is probably looking for something to stop my nose from bleeding. I don't think it is bleeding as much as it was a few minutes ago, but I can't really tell. "Here." He said handing me something soft in my clean hand. I lowered my probably bloody hand and replaced it with the cloth. Oikawa wiped as my hand with another cloth, leaving my hand with a nice cool feeling as the air hit it. "I am really sorry. I didn't mean for you to get hurt." Oikawa said after a moment of silence. "It's fine. It doesn't hurt that much at all." I replied, thinking about the countless amounts of times that my mother had hurt me. I pulled the cloth back as the running sensation in my nose had stopped. "Here, you have it all over your face." He told me, bringing the cloth he used to clean my hand with to my face. His face is rather close to mine. I can't really make out any details, he sorta looks like a big blob with a brown mop on his head. "Can you see without your glasses?" Oikawa asked, stopping wiping at my face and seating himself on a stool in front of me. "Not really. You look like a big blob. So does everything else. I've always had really bad eyesight." I told him, squinting my eyes and trying to make his blob look more like a person. The boy chuckled, "You're cute when you do that." I rolled my eyes at this and stopped bothering to try and see him properly. "Aweee, don't be such a poor sport." He told me, blocking me from hopping down from the table. "Your antics are really annoying, you know that?" I told him, settling myself back down so that I wouldn't fall. I couldn't leave without his help even if I wanted to. I would probably cause an accident or something. "I only do it because I really like you." Oikawa said, his eyes now level with mine. I can tell because the blob that is his hair, moved down somewhat. "I am sure you say that to all of your little fans, besides, I am a guy and you're a guy." I replied smoothly, hoping to discourage him. "You know, a certain person told me that it doesn't matter what gender you are, that if you really love the person, it shouldn't matter. I really do like you Niko Kenshi and I won't give up on trying to make you mine." I felt his forehead lean against mine; he's really close now. I did say that, I probably sounded really hypocritacal just then. I stared straight ahead and let out a sigh. "If that's how you feel then I can't stop you. Good luck on trying to win me over though, it won't be an easy task." I could see some white blobs, I think he is smiling at my comment. "Good. I like a challenge." I heard his weight shift and his lips touched  my cheek. The next thing I knew there was a crash and some cursing. I think Kageyama and Tsukishima had come in and pushed the chair out from under Oikawa. I shook my head, this seems like it is going to be more trouble than it is worth.
