You play any kind of sport, Ann?

[menaretrash]

Sports? No... I mean, my best friend plays volleyball, but I don't really do much on the sport front. I'm a part time model.

[The look on his face when he hears the word “volleyball” - it’s a mixture between that of a kid who just got told he was getting a puppy for Christmas and a heroin addict friending for a fix. It’s entirely impossible to disguise that flash of excitement and longing, which would be embarrassing if he weren’t so focused on the fact that this girl at least tangentially must know something about the game.

[It’s tempting - so tempting - to ask her who her friend is and whether or not they’re here, but he knows all too well what a sensitive subject that might be, so he refrains (for now). Besides, this is Ann’s favor that they’re talking about, and suddenly he knows exactly how she’s going to make things up to him.]

That’s my game. [The pride in his voice - the emotion behind that pride - he doesn’t even try to hide.] You ever seen your friend play a game?

[ Ann's eyes widen with delight as he mentions how volleyball is his sport of choice, and she claps her hands together excitedly. If Shiho were here... they'd get along. Shiho is such a sweet, wonderful person and she'd love to have someone to play with. Well... she would have, before certain incidents at home.

Can't think of that right now, though. ]

Yeah, of course! She was the starter on our high school volleyball team! I made sure to go to every game she played!

[bluecastleace]

[Excellent.]

You busy right now? [Guess who lied about having somewhere to be.] I know how you can make it up to me.

[menaretrash]

No, not at all! I was just gonna go grab some coffee from the cafe. [ She laughs, because yeah, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know what's on his mind. ] Let's go play some volleyball and grab coffee afterwards?

[I DON’T KNOW ABOUT COFFEE, IT’S VOLLEYBALL TIME

[Iwaizumi doesn’t even care that he’s being read like a book. This is the brightest he’s felt since arriving, and he’s not about to question it - and where only minutes ago things had been so easy to question! He still barely knows this girl, hell knows if he can trust her, but all he wants - all he’s wanted for days now - is to feel his hand make contact with that ball again, and he’ll do just about anything to achieve that.

[He grins - what a difference that makes for his face, huh?]

Let’s go. [He grips the strap of his gym bag. Of course he’s already got everything he needs on him. He waits for her to catch up with him before heading for the exit once again.]
