BUZZING against Rin's nightstand woke her up pretty early on Saturday morning. She groaned loudly as she rolled around in her bed, tapping her hand against the nightstand in search of her phone. Rin retrieved the phone and unlocked it, holding it in front of her face.

After getting all of the ingredients out of the fridge and cupboards, Rin went back to her room to get ready to spend the day with Oikawa and Iwaizumi. She didn't feel like dressing up too much, but she would feel more flattering in clothes differing from her sleepwear. Rin changed into an oversized, knitted, grey sweater and black leggings underneath. She pulled her long, dark brown hair up into a messy bun and slid her glasses onto her face to finish the look.
Just as she finished up her routine, the doorbell to the house rang a couple of times most probably by an overly excited Oikawa. Sure enough, Rin went to the front door and heard some complaining coming from Oikawa. Rin giggled and answered the door, stepping to the side to allow Iwaizumi and Oikawa into the house.
"So, I've already set up everything, so we can make the milk bread and then choose whatever else we want to do," Rin announced as she led the boys to the kitchen. "Milk bread! Woo!" Oikawa exclaimed, throwing his hands into the air.
"You do know you have to make it to eat it, right?" Iwaizumi spoke, looking to Oikawa. "Pfft. Of course I know that. How else are we going to get milk bread?" Oikawa scoffed.
Rin rolled her eyes playfully and went to the counter. She had already pulled up a recipe on her iPad and sat it aside, keeping the screen on.
"Oh! I found some aprons in the pantry, and I thought we could wear them," Rin said, waddling to the pantry.
Oikawa and Iwaizumi widened their eyes at the sight of the pastel colored aprons hanging from Rin's arm as she walked back to the counter.
"I call the pink one!" Oikawa shouted, throwing a hand in the air.
Rin tossed the apron at Oikawa which landed on top of his head and covered his face. She handed the light blue one to Iwaizumi and kept the orange one for herself. Everyone tied off their aprons around their waists and stood near the counter. Rin set up the different bowls they would use to mix their ingredients together.
The sound of arguing pulled Rin out of her mini concentrated state and looked up at the boys. Oikawa had a bag of flour in his hand to begin the first step of the recipe, but Iwaizumi held onto it as well, trying to tear it out of his hands.
"I don't trust this bag of flour in your hands. You have managed to mess up a lot of things with those hands before," Iwaizumi stated, successfully pulling the bag out of Oikawa's hands. "Oh come on! It was one time!" Oikawa whined.
"Were you referring to the big ice cream in the sandbox incident in kindergarten?" Rin asked with a small giggle. "Yes, and ever since then, he always drops his ice cream," Iwaizumi replied, glaring at Oikawa, "That's why he always orders it in a bowl instead of a cone."
"Way to embarrass me, Iwa-chan," Oikawa muttered miserably as he whisked nothing in a bowl. "You embarrass yourself. I have no say or do in this," Iwaizumi replied. Oikawa let his mouth gape wide open at the comment. The two boys had their attention brought back to Rin by the sound of clapping.
"Okay! Enough with the horseplay. Let's make some milk bread!"
✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*
Hours passed by, and a lot has happened since the milk bread was made. After the milk bread had cooled down completely, Rin had cut it and given each boy an even amount to hers so everyone got equal amounts of the treat. Oikawa swiped a few of Iwaizumi's slices and began to be chased by the boy all around the house whilst Rin chowed down on her bread, unaffected by the chaos that had erupted momentarily.
A long ten minutes of running around had worn out Oikawa and Iwaizumi. At this point, Iwaizumi didn't care if Oikawa ate his slices, so he allowed for him to do so. It came with a consequence for Oikawa in the form of passing out on the couch, hugging a cushion.
Rin finished her bread and was sitting on a different couch since Oikawa took up most of the space on the other one. Iwaizumi joined her shortly after grabbing a water bottle from the fridge. The two sat in silence, not airing a single word to one another as they watched Oikawa sleep.
"How are you feeling?" Iwaizumi asked so suddenly.
Rin looked away from Oikawa to glance up at Iwaizumi, taking in the sight of his breathtaking side profile.
"I'm good, why do you ask?"
Iwaizumi leaned back in the couch and glanced down at Rin, pursing his lips in the process. He brushed a hand through his hair and set his water bottle down on an end table.
"Oikawa called me yesterday after he dropped you off, and he told me about what happened with you and your friends," Iwaizumi stated.
Rin froze. Her body didn't move a single muscle after the words Iwaizumi spoke to her. She blinked a couple of times as she stared into his olive green eyes, confused at the turn in the conversation. Iwaizumi shifted positions, looking away from Rin and resting his elbows on his thighs. His eyes went back to staring at Oikawa's sleeping form.
"I want you to know... that I'll always be here for you. Just like Oikawa probably told you, we're two of your best friends, and I wouldn't want it any other way with you. Those girls didn't deserve a friendship with you, so don't go thinking too much about them, okay?"
Rin felt herself leaning closer to Iwaizumi as if his presence gave her a sense of safety and warmth. Their legs touched one another, and Rin's eyes never left Iwaizumi's focused face that was staring at Oikawa.
"It's just weird how they were my friends, and then Yuna-chan suddenly goes on a full rampage just because Keiko saw me walking with you guys. I never pictured her to be a jealous type, but yesterday taught me differently," Rin added.
"Some people change for the better or for the worst, and it definitely sucks, no lie. As long as you can differentiate those that are sticking by you versus the ones that are toxic, then you'll do just fine," Iwaizumi said, leaning back against the couch, "Besides, who wouldn't want to friends with an amazing girl like you?"
Rin giggled and looked down at her fingers. She had a sudden idea pop in her head, bringing curiosity to Iwaizumi. Rin got up from her spot on the couch and went towards the large TV sitting on top of a TV stand. Iwaizumi watched Rin dig through different shelves within the TV stand before her hands landed on a casing.
"Wake up Oikawa-kun," Rin said, opening the casing.
Iwaizumi did as he was told and tossed a cushion at Oikawa without getting up. The overdramatic boy fell off of the couch and landed on the floor with a thud. He sat up and rubbed his head whilst continuously whining to Iwaizumi about how he rudely interrupted his sleep.
Rin shushed the bickering boys and turned on the TV, pressing play on the TV remote she had grabbed. Oikawa sat back down on the couch and widened his eyes at the movie that began to play on the screen. Rin sat down next to Iwaizumi and grabbed a cushion to hug.
"You have the original Home Alone movie on DVD?! You're the best, Rin-chan!" Oikawa shouted, only to be shushed by Iwaizumi. "If you make another noise, I'll toss another cushion at you with more force," Iwaizumi threatened the younger setter.
Oikawa pouted but relieved a smile as the movie played.
