[In reality he should have considered something like this happening. There would always be someone out there to challenge Oikawa's fragile mentality, and while he does sympathise a little with his best friend (he's a good setter, he just is too much of an idiot to see it) he also can't deny that Kageyama is a quick learner.

Watching the exchanges where Oikawa tries to bully him by acting like a 5 year old has always been frustrating, but Iwaizumi has always stepped in to tell him off, to tell him how much of a child he's acting. Kageyama's got talent, no point in denying that.

Still, it's hard to watch the way he lowers the ball, lowers his head and sinks when Oikawa refuses him again.]

Maybe next time. [Though they both know it'll never come, not with Oikawa as he is.] I'll practise with you for a bit first if you want, he-- [He jabs a thumb in Oikawa's direction] --needs to discuss something with the coach anyway.

[Oikawa will likely get mad lately that he's paying attention to him, but unlike a certain someone he's not heartless enough to leave him in the dust.]

<sub>[It may never come, not with how Oikawa is, but that doesn't mean Kageyama is going to stop trying by any means. He wants to be the best, to learn from the best, and the best is Oikawa. Unfortunately it's just his luck that "the best" also has the worst personality.

Iwaizumi however is the exact opposite of Oikawa. He's not petty or bratty and he's willing where Oikawa refuses outright. He may not be a setter but what was a setter without someone to receive their toss? Thus when Iwaizumi offers Kageyama's not one to turn him down.]</sub>

Really? I can toss to you?

[catenate]

[He can at least give him tips on how to toss with the spiker in mind, and that's something. Not to mention his serve isn't on the scale of Oikawa's, but for a regular serve it's pretty powerful. There are other ways to show him how to improve, and while Oikawa's busy he'll do just that.]

Let's get started.

[It's said with a smile as he flings his towel onto the bench, taking a swig of water.] Just remember to take it slow, okay?

_{[It'd be a lie to say Kageyama isn't excited to toss to Iwaizumi - he is. The fact the older boy is willing to indulge him has him nodding, lips twisted into something that would be a smile if he wasn't doing his best to contain it.]}

Yes!

[catenate]

[He places the water back down on the side, taking up position. He's wary of where Oikawa might be on the court, but in the end his best friend needs to man up and get the fuck over himself anyway, even Iwaizumi would admit that.]

Alright then, show me what you've got.

[It's said with a grin as he starts his run up, waiting briefly for the indication that Kageyama is going to toss the ball, his hand slams forward as soon as it's time, aiming down onto the other side of the court with a WHAM.]

_{[There's nothing quite like the feeling of having your toss hit. When Iwaizumi spikes his toss and things sync up he can't help but feel his cheeks grow hot with excitement. Unlike fucking Kindachi, Iwaizumi is competent enough he can hit what he gives him. It's awesome.]}

Iwaizumi-san that was awesome!

[catenate]

[When he lands back on the floor, he rolls his arm a bit, looking ahead for a moment, then:]

It's a bit high.

[Yet he still hit it, of course.]
