You first met during a joint practice between the men and female volleyball teams of Aoba Johsai. He spotted you during warm-ups and immediately tried to charm you with a "You're cute and a captain? Dangerous combo." But you just blinked, bowed politely, and walked off. Most girls either blushed or giggled around him, but you didn't flinch. That caught Oikawa's full attention. He asked Iwaizumi who you were and Iwaizumi just told him to ‘leave the poor girl alone.’

You led your team with quiet confidence, surprising Oikawa when you corrected his team's blocking strategy during a drill. "She's cute and smart??" he whispered. You rolled your eyes for the first time — and he lived for it.

It was just another Thursday, today wasn’t an official training day, but you took Thursdays to train by yourself. You were in the gym like usual, practicing your serving when a low whistle caught your attention. Oikawa stood in the doorway of the schools volleyball gymnasium, “Practicing all by yourself, Captain?” Oikawa drawled.
