I don't know. Is it really up to me? Because you have amazing persistence, regardless.

[Rin smirks a bit mischievously at Oikawa. Well...if he's gonna keep poking at her, now's a good time to start poking back.

Still, at his question about London, Rin takes a small breath, looking a little taken aback. Well...she's not exactly going there for recreational purposes.

In fact, it's for something that could decide her future. She looks off to the side a bit.]

It's my first time going, actually; a family friend lives there, and invited me. I've only seen pictures in books and online. [A sigh.] I've been trying to brush up on my English for that reason.

[Also w o w?! He's...he's just fairly interesting, no "daisukis" are to be expected here...!! But, Rin actually smiles a bit at that.

Maybe there's some substance in him, after all.]

Oh, come on. You seem dedicated enough. You're not shy at all, so why worry about bumping into scary players? If anything, you can probably make them look stupid with your way with people.

[astringency]

[Is it really poking back though? Maybe, he'll pretend as such, anyway.]

Ah, how mean, Ri-chan! I'm just trying to make you feel welcomed! [Is that really what this is, though??? No.]

Ah, will you show me your pictures when you come back? [You're stuck in this hot mess now.] Especially if you're taking tourist shots. Selfies are fine, Ri-chan.

[His way with people, huh? The thing is that he's probably one of those scary players--at least Kageyama considers him as such. There's very little honesty, and he attacks mentally as much as physically. Gross.]

Why would I do something like that?

[Ah, you're getting to know him way to quickly, gurlie.]

[tsungandr]

'Welcomed'?

[Rin gives Oikawa her absolute smarmiest look. She's only doing it because she's not the kind of girl who likes making things too easy!]

More like you spirited me away.

[Oikawa pls.......although, at his suggestion, Rin smirks all the more. This is a guy with no fear. She's never met anyone this upfront about anything, nevermind girls.

And so, she's going to mess with him, if only to see his reaction. She laughs.]

Ah, but what if I tend to do dangerous and daring things? I'm not sure you'd like to see that side of me, Oikawa-kun, even if it's just through pictures.

[Interpret that as you will. It's actually true, to some extent...

...As for getting to know him just a little too quickly? Well, she understands him, to some extent. In fact---her pride and determination are pretty on par with his. She laughs again at his question.]

Well, you want everyone to see that you're good at what you do, right? So...make everyone else see that, and show the other players that you've earned respect and admiration with your skill.

[A beat, and her smile turns a touch more genuine.]

It's not really all that complicated, Oikawa-kun.

[astringency]

You could have said no. [His lips twitch at that, please stop denying the fact you want to be here.

But Rin????? He looks towards her in confusion at first (pictures??) before laughing.] You don't really look the type, but I don't mind.

[Especially if the pictures are kinky [relaxedhomie]]

Ah, that's not what I meant, Ri-chan. [But:] It works out the same though, doesn't it? Don't worry, I won't let anyone else win. Seijou will go to nationals.

[tsungandr]

I happen to be a proper lady when I know have to be one, you know. [Rin purses her lips daintily as she hails over a nearby waitress, having decided on a cinnamon cappuccino. Sure, dude. In the immortal words of a famous 80s song: don't stop believin'.

Also, in the equally immortal words of another 80s song, girls just wanna have fun, Oikawa. Rin arches an eyebrow, now smirking slightly.]

But, I'll leave it to your imagination in the meantime, Oikawa-kun. I also don't like ruining good surprises.

[Which is a joke, but. Play your cards right, and maybe you'll end up with at least one interesting photo attachment to a text message over the summer.

Rin, meanwhile, crosses her arms, still smiling, though it's now more encouraging.]

They'd better, because I might just find a way to watch at least one of your games sometime.

[The waitress arrives, and Rin looks toward her, but not before asking Oikawa---]

So, what are you having?

[astringency]

[He orders a latte with toffee syrup to go along with it, and actually leans back to admire how hard she's trying here.] Ah, but I'd rather wait and see, Ri-chan! Or it takes all the fun out of it too

[But...] Will you sing a little cheer for me too? I'll look out for you.

[There's also:]

Did you want a cake to go with it? [Well, he sort of answered the question.]

[tsungandr]

A little mystery never hurt anyone, no. [Rin's smirk turns a tad mischievous, and she covers her mouth daintily with her hand.] As it turns out, I can be quite mysterious.

[She laughs, and puts a finger to her chin in mock thought. Ehhh...maybe, just maybe, he's not so bad. He's fun (on top of being, well, attractive). Challenge considered and accepted, loverboy.]

Hey, I said I can be mysterious! I'd rather surprise you. Because, who knows? [She's actually trolling when she says this, but---] A kiss might go to the victor.

[Rin smiles a bit toothily at Oikawa, not realizing that she may have just dug herself into a hole just now. In the meantime, she nods.]

Cake sounds good. I can split it with you, if you want---after all, I may as well treat you since you did help me in spite of your parading me around.

[astringency]

[She's really cute, it seems. He smiles and leans to press his chin into the palms of his hands as she talks, clearly trying to act coy. He isn't sure if she realises at this point, but there's no way this isn't flirting.

Especially when she makes a promise like that.

His eyes widen, and he finds that kissing this girl, even if it might only be chance, would be something he'd like to aim for. She's feisty, cute, as well as intelligent. She also seems to understand his passion for volleyball...

He leans forward, a wide smile on his lips:] Is that a promise~?

I'll take the cake and anything you'd like to offer, after all.

[tsungandr]

[It's. Trolling.

ok bye

But, for a moment, when Oikawa leans closer, Rin very nearly drops that mic, blinking a little and turning a slight pink. Still, no, no, she's got this, she can yet resist his sorcerous smile and his sorcerous good looks....

So she herself meets his gaze, hailing the waitress over and quickly ordering a chocolate mousse cake, before steepling her chin in her hands. Her smile's a tad more crooked than before, but there's a slight fierce glint in her eyes.

she will outcharmwit him...]

Maybe. [She tosses her hair a bit.] I'll decide once you walk me home after this.

[astringency]

What a heartbreaker. [Yet, he's still smiling.] Making me wait all that time, or are you worried we'll lose?

[And yes, he doesn't say win--he's fairly certain she'd like to try kissing him, even if she's being shy about it.] That won't happen, don't worry Rin-chan.

rip im going to hell for this

[tsungandr]

[Rin eyes him with a fairly inquisitive look as she takes a bite out of the cake once it's served to them.

She's not sure if she really did have her brain scrambled after taking that ball to the head, but---but---

---He's an attractive chap. Has a nice, if cocky, smile. A real flirt, but definitely confident and passionate about what he loves. She can relate to all of that. She can respect it.

A part of her is feeling impatient.

Oh, fuck it; nobody in history got anywhere just sitting on their ass and twiddling their fingers, right? Suddenly, she leans over and presses her lips to his---a playful, light, teasing kiss.

She pulls away not long thereafter; a bright pink dusts her cheeks, but she's grinning a bit doofily.]

I'm not worried, no. [She plays with her hair somewhat.] But I figure I'd seal your confidence with a pact, just to be sure.

j E S U S

[astringency]

[He reaches out with a spoon to take a section too, waiting for her to reply. He pauses when nothing comes though, looking up at her face.

That's when she leans forward, and even he feels surprised by the fact that she kisses him so soon. She's definitely flushed when she pulls away, but even his face colours a little at the action.]

That's hardly fair, you shouldn't tease someone like that.

[He drops the spoon, forgetting the cake to reach out, palm cupping her face.] That's hardly anything to seal a pact, Ri-chan... may I?

pRAYS FERVENTLY

[tsungandr]

T-teasing? [Rin tries not to stutter---kind of ruins the playful minx image she's trying to project now, but, alas. She turns her head away slightly, in an attempt to keep up her coyness---] Don't make false accusat---

[---That is, until Oikawa's palm cups her face, and instinctively, she faces him again, the pink darkening to a redder hue.

She bites her lower lip somewhat, defiantly forcing herself to maintain eye contact.]

...You may. [Rin takes a small breath, leaning forward a little in turn.] A pact isn't a one-way street, after all.

cHOKES

[astringency]

Teasing, mm~ [He smiles as he repeats it though, eyes dipping to look all over her face. He can see through how hard she's trying to be coy. How nervous must she be?]

It isn't, you're right. Don't get too embarrassed, okay?

[He leans in then, mouth pressing against hers. It isn't as brief, mind you. He brushes his own lips there, nibbles on her lower lip gently.]

mY MOTHER DIDN'T RAISE ME LIKE THIS

[tsungandr]

[Rin momentarily stiffens at how...forward he is, but finds herself closing her eyes and pulls him forward a little by putting her hands on each side of his face, returning his kissing by capturing his lips with hers after he nibbles. Her tongue flicks a bit against his lower lip, before she pulls away, flushed, but with a bit of a glint in her eyes.]

I'm embarrassed enough to want you to myself like this in a more private setting, Oikawa-kun. [She arches an eyebrow, smirking a bit.] Think of it...as me being open to lending you more support than simply cheering you on at a game.

[She winks.]

Just a thought.

uh huh SO YOU SAY?????

[astringency]

[She responds more than he expects, and if he's forward then she's not too far behind him. His hands move to capture her wrists, rubbing small circles on the inside where the skin is more sensitive until she's pulling away and he kisses the back of her hands instead.]

Is that so? [My, now who is being forward???] Then we'll do something later, shall we? So you can show me how willing to lend your support you are.

[He says this, but he wouldn't push a girl too far. Really it would just be nice to kiss her properly, kiss her neck and face and try to show her he isn't as gross as he probably makes himself out to be at times.]

i sWEAR UPON MY VERY SOUL

[tsungandr]

I'd say you're challenging me.

[Rin chuckles, feeling...pleasantly warm as Oikawa kisses the back of her hands. She could...get used to this. Hell, maybe a cute, fun little thing like this is what she needs.

And you know what? She's gonna go for it, see where the flow takes her. If it's just a fling, then, eh. She'll put her foot down where it needs to go. And if it turns more serious?

That'll be even more interesting. With that in mind, she whispers, raising one hand to put a finger to his lips---]

Challenge accepted, then. And I think I know a good spot, too.

LAUGHS

[astringency]

[He flops his hand back and forth, dismissing that kind of remark. He even has the gall to pout at her.]

That makes it sound so mean, Ri-chan. I wouldn't do something like that. [He says that, but as he tilts his head, her finger still in place against his lips, he gives it a little lick.] But I'll take your word for it, where ever it is you want to go.

......howcouldthishappen2me.mp4

[tsungandr]

Aww. I'm sorry.

[Rin coos at him, pressing her finger lightly against his lips after that tiny lick, before fully standing up and moving next to his left, her own lips grazing against his ear as she breathes:]

Then what are we waiting for? Shall we?

[Smirking, she nips at his earlobe briefly, before pulling away and winking once more, taking his hand.]

because youre u

[astringency]

[Somehow she makes it seem like an invite for more than just a few kisses, and the way his ear and neck prickles from the feeling of her breath there makes his eyes flutter.

He found a catch, that's for sure.] We shall. [Of course, he really can't help the soft little moan that slips out when she bites his ear. Girl... please save it for when they're in private???]

Let's go. [He takes her hand in return, kissing her knuckles before he heads for the exit.] Lead the way.
