Running incident oneshot
(1st person POV reader’s perspective)
___________________________________________________________________________

I knew I wasn’t supposed to do this
I was warned many many times by my brass friends not to do it and so did Yachi when she and I were walking to the field (yay shy buddies for life)
But I didn’t give a half-lick of a shit
Almost everyone else got to run and most of them sucked at it so I had to go and do something
I had a plan: go to the bathroom, switch hats on the way back being careful to hide my hair, change glasses, and change shirt too just to avoid extra caution on Iwaizumi-san’s end
It’s the perfect plan and it’s 4 field laps so this should be fun
I knew just when to come back too so everyone would be starting and Iwaizumi would be occupied with Kyotani and keeping his ass in line. It was an all-bases-covered situation and now it was time to hit that sweet home run to victory
I kept an eye out for my section leaders and Oikawa knowing they’ve taken me out of the running conditioning before (but then again I hadn’t been taking extra precautions soooo…)
I would have to pace this just right to make sure I wasn’t spotted
At most points I’d have to stay ¼ of the track away from all of the vigilant leaders and ½ when I was harder to see and in a pack of quiet people away from loud-mouth snitches like Ushijima, Yamamoto, Atsumu, Tanaka, Hinata, and most importantly Hanamaki and Matsukawa because I know I’d have to pay them both to stay quiet for the rest of band camp
I wouldn’t really have to worry about Bokuto and Kuroo because the former was always blathering to Akaashi (I mean why would you not talk to your boyfriend especially when he’s that hot) and the latter was trying to get Kenma to try harder and make Lev not suck
This meant I would have to stick near Sakusa, Suna, Watari, and Kunimi in order to stay hidden away from the narc-ass prying eyes I knew would be looking for me and when I returned from the restroom
So as everyone was starting I stealthily moved into the small pack with those 4 knowing of my plan and how to execute it (Sakusa knew I wS the only one who took handwashing seriously, Suna liked my hilarious photos of Atsumu courtesy of Osamu, Watari like the help with theory, and Kunimi like that I wasn’t a loud-mouth and they all like that I never bragged despite my skill level)
The plan was simple: I’d blend in between all 4 of them with my dark hat and basically attach to Suna when we turned corners
We knew how to do this because we’ve done it before on staggering days for several weeks now
How I haven’t got caught up until now I will never know
But we were doing good now and that’s all that mattered
Until I spotted that all too familiar denim and khaki “Hollywood” hat with soft brown tufts peeking out of it over a pair of black Ray-Ban sunglasses coming behind us
Shit
Why out of all days did this have to be Oikawa’s running Check-in
He came up and ran beside Kunimi who was on my right side and being who he is he chatted Kunimi up
“Hello, Kunimi-chan how is your run so far?”
Kunimi just responds with an “It’s alright you?” good just like we practiced
“Great! oh hey, who’s your new running buddy? What section is he in?” not good he saw me but at least he didn’t know it was me (yet) and it wasn’t something we had practiced before given how otherwise flawless it was
“He’s just someone who we kinda just ended up running with honestly” talk about thinking on your feet
“Ah, I see! I’m glad you’re making some more friends Kunimi-chan.” ok good we should be fine since usually, he moves on after a comment like that
But Kunimi had other plans to try and cover my escape from Oikawa’s line of sight
“Hey um, Oikawa-san is there a way you can get some of the clarinet players below Kageyama to be better? I kinda just wanna see him end up being last chair because he’s a dick” oof smooth, real smooth indeed
“Well I’m sure I could figure some things out and make that happen for you”
Just as Oikawa starts talking I turn to look at Suna and nod letting him know I’m gonna break from the group and finish as fast as I can
I jog out of our little pod-like arrangement and detach from the group entirely and speed up to prevent anyone catching me
At least, I thought that would work
Which it didn’t
Because about 30 seconds after I made it far enough ahead that he wouldn’t get me quickly, he managed to be right at my side keeping my pace
Bastard
“So I didn’t really get a chance to talk to you back there, I guess Kunimi-chan really did need something from me-” just stay silent Y/N don’t say a fucking word
“Hey are you hearing me? I asked you something” I just let out kind of a low grunt sound and shrugged
“What I asked is what is your name? You kinda seemed like you were staring into space”
I couldn’t say anything! He would know it’s me!
So what did I do?
Run faster
“HEY SLOW DOWN! IWA-CHAN GET THEM!”
FUCK
Iwaizumi turns around and runs toward me as I try to dodge Oikawa’s attempts to sandwich me
DOUBLE FUCK
At least my eyes are hidden behind prescription Pit Vipers that are like watermelon colored in their reflective lenses
So they can’t see my wider than dinner plate eyes darting everywhere
What I forgot to do however
Was look behind me for where Oikawa was
Because my dumbass forgot how fast he can sprint
And his arms were now around my midsectionand keeping me from running any farther
The first thing to give me away was my 221 bpm heart rate
Which Oikawa could now feel through his arms
“WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU DON’T YOU KNOW THAT YOU COULD GET SEVERELY HURT GOING THAT FA- Y/N?!?!?!” oh of COURSE Oikawa took my Pit Vipers off to let Iwaizumi see who it was
“wait…Y/N-chan?! How did you do that?! I thought you were with Yachi-chan!”
“Oikawa take her to the dug-out. We have to talk”
“Come on now Y/N-chan-” Oikawa said while he started to let me go
“PLEASE JUST LET M-ME FINISH”
“I’m sorry Y/N-chan but I can’t.” and instead of letting me go he picked me up princess-style to the dug-out
~LE TIMESKIP~
“Well? Do you have anything you want to tell us?” Iwaizumi said to me while looking at down me with his arms crossed
I looked up and just turned my head away from them in defiance
“Well L/N you know that you weren’t supposed to go out there and run at all. Why did you do it? Do you know how worried Oikawa was when I thought you didn’t come back from the bathroom?! Do you know how worried Oikawa and I were at how fast you were going?!”
“I-I’m s-s-sorry I-I” and of course broke down crying from the pressure
“Hey hey it’s ok Y/N-chan Iwa is just concerned about you and I am too. We just want what’s best for you”
“It’s fine just let me fini-” Oikawa literally cut me off by putting a finger to my mouth mid-word (rude)
“Why don’t I stop you right there. You are not going to finish that, you are going to stay here and rest for the rest of visual block sweetie.”
Di-did he just try to sweet-talk me?!
Oh HELL no
I try to get up as Iwaizumi pulls me back down onto the bench
“Where do you think you’re going?” that bastard
“Back to the field?”
“Iwaizumi can you please help with warm up?”
“Oikawa I have to go back to the field since the drum majors are calling me. Keep her in here would ya?”
“Oh no problem Iwa-chan! I love spending time with my sectionmates. And besides I have to obviously talk to her about what happened” he says this while smiling at me
“ ‘Kay thanks.” and he runs out of the Cripple Tent(™)
“Alright Y/N-chan I’m not going to berate you, but I do really need to know why you went against the rules for you running.”
“I-I w-was j-just s-sick of n-not getting to d-do cond-ditioning with everyone I-I-I-I’m s-sorry”
“I understand how you feel, but you can’t do something like that without talking to a leader about it first because we know how hard you push yourself and we don’t want you to get hurt.” he looked at me with genuine concern in his eyes and facial expression
“I-I’m s-so s-s-sorry f-f-for c-causing s-so m-many p-problems s-s-s-sir”
“It’s ok Y/N-chan, but you still need a punishment” he now is wearing a smirk that everyone in the flute section is all too familiar with O_o
“W-wait nonononoononononononononoono”
He didn’t aknowlege what I said but he just picked me up with ease and put me up to his back and crossed his legs over mine and put my arms behind his back and presses them to the wall using his back.
“Just relax Y/N-chan it’ll be easier for you”
***OIKAWA’S POV***
“Just relax Y/N-chan it’ll be easier for you” I said to her while pinning her in such a way that will make my job easier
Even though I was behind her I could still see the vermillion blush on her face as I put my arms around her and perch my head on her shoulder
“It’s ok Y/N-chan we all know you’re good at what you do”
Her blush gets darker as if compliments are toxic and embarrassing?!?!
Y/N’s POV
“It’s ok Y/N-chan we all know you’re good at what you do”
Fuck
He’s gonna waste all of visual block showering me in compliments to I guess ‘condition’ me to not overwork myself
But I know he’s wasting his time because why on earth would I let an interference like that come and mess up my work?
“Y/N-chan are you listening to me? I’m trying to tell you how great of a flute player you are! And how amazing the rest of our section thinks you are!”
fuck he’s on to me
“Oh uh- I got distracted what were you saying?”
Good cover-up
He suddenly got up and said: “hold on stay right there”
Fuck
“HEY V/C/N CAN I BORROW IWA-CHAN FOR A FEW MINUTES?!”
And then on the speaker thing the V/C/N had said “Sure Oikawa, Iwaizumi can you please head over to the dugout?”
About 20 seconds later Iwaizumi came jogging in sweating after clearly doing across the floors
“Hey what the hell do you need Shittykawa?”
“Y/N-chan won’t listen to me what do I do?!?!?” Oikawa cried
“What do you me- oh wait I get it. You’re trying to condition her to take your compliments”
“Yes! But she won’t listen to me! And we can’t make her run for running!”
“Oi L/N stand up”
“Y-yes s-sir”
“Come here”
So I slowly came to him and he immediately embraced me tightly and said to me:
“Oikawa and I will not let you go until you admit that you are good at flute, deserve your place in SWC, and that you will not run again got it?”
“Y-yes s-sir.”
“Now say it”
“It”
“You smart ass”
“Fine”
“I am good at flute, deserve my place in SWC, and I will not run again”
“Good job. You still have to sit out of vis block”
“Damn it”
THE END
