So, the recruitment plan to gather new members was a bust.
It seemed that the swim team’s presentation of their so called “charm points”, in reality, charmed very few (did anyone even clap during that assembly?). Kou and Nagisa had thought that by displaying their team's best assets it would entice new members into joining their swim club, but alas no one new showed up. Thus, it was time to get aggressive and actively seek out new recruits; the club’s future depended on it!
Which brings Kou and her gang to their current situation.
What year is he in? Is he new? Is he a transfer student? Oh gosh, those upper arm muscles! Is he backstroke swimmer like Makoto-senpai? Does he swim free like Haruka-senpai? He’d be a great addition to the team either way!
Kou glanced to her side and noticed that her other classmates, Rei and Nagisa, were also contemplating the possibility of recruiting said person if the glint in Nagisa’s eyes and Rei’s calculating gaze had anything to say about it.
A fine specimen of toned muscles and rugged features was presented before them, and they were quick to pounce. But those handsome features twisted into a look of confusion.
“Uhm, I’m sorry, but what?”
“Your name! What is your name?” Kou repeated, already extending the clipboard and pen towards “Nice Muscles”-san.
Before the guy could dissolve into more confusion at the sudden confrontation from these three second-years, another person casually swaggered over and put on a dazzling smile.
“Yahoo~ I see you’ve found my lost Iwa-chan, I thank you kindly, but I’ll be taking my ace back now.”
Kou analyzed the new comer and while admittedly, he was also indeed athletically fit, the first guy had much nicer triceps she noted as he (hesitantly) extended his arm out to accept the clipboard.
(Iwaizumi pulled the clipboard towards him to read the small-print title at the top, unintentionally, flexing his upper arm as well.)
And biceps too. Much more defined biceps. That one definately was their guy.
“Oh…I see…but uhm…” She faltered in addressing the brunet for he had not introduced himself yet.
“Oikawa Tooru.”
“Oh! Thank you Oikawa-san, but we were in the middle of recruiting…?” This time Kou turned towards the first guy who looked less confused and more annoyed, but his expression softened as he turned back towards her.
“Iwaizumi Hajime.” He huffed out shrugging off Oikawa’s hand that was (possessively) on his shoulder to return the clipboard back to Kou.
“Thanks for the offer, but—“
“We have key-chains! And Iwatobi bread!” Nagisa suddenly sprang forward and pulled out two questionably looking “bread” like things. Was that even edible? Iwaizumi caught Oikawa’s muttering of how he’d rather stick with milk bread.
“We earned a place to compete in regionals last year!”
“…Although we did get disqualified for pulling a stunt like that.”
“Don’t tell them that Nagisa-kun!”
“Ah! Sorry Rei-chan.”
“But our times are still good! We’re aiming for Nationals this year!”
“Iwa-chan is already on a team aiming for Nationals.” Oikawa grounded out, his fake smile faltering.
“Oikawa, stop that!”
“But Iwa-chan—!“
Their bickering grew in volume that it drew the attention of others. Kindaichi and Kunimi were sent to go find where their captain and vice-captain ran off to. While Makoto and Haru arrived quickly with the extra boxes of key-chains and Iwatobi bread upon hearing the commotion.
“You don’t get to call him Iwa-chan! Only I get to call him that, right Iwa-chan?!”
“Then Iwaizumi-san, won’t you please join our swim team and you can teach us how to receive those muscle results like that, you’re training regiment must be solid!”
“I’m sorry, but, the positions of favorite kouhais are taken.”
“Kindaichi, you’re joining into the fray as well?! Kunimi please be the voice of reason.”
“This is all very troublesome.”
“N-now guys! Let’s all calm down now.”
“And who are you?!”
“Makoto-senpai!”
“Mako-chan!”
With a grand flourish and with pride, Nagisa introduced the other two of the team, “This is our team captain, Tachibana Makoto! And his vice-captain, Nanase Haruka! Haru-chan is a very talented swimmer, some even call him a genius at this age!”
Oikawa pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed in exasperation, “Listen up, Megane, Chibi, Ponytail, Puppy Eyes, and Tobio-chan #2. Iwa-chan can’t join your team because he’s already a third year on our volleyball team, he goes to a different school – located in a different prefecture entirely actually – and we’re only here for an away practice game set up by our coaches.”
Kunimi chose that time to chime in, “Speaking of which, Oikawa-san and Iwaizumi-san, we should be heading back the others are probably looking for us by now.”
And with that, the four volleyball players bid their farewells. Kunimi looking bored with the entire ordeal already, Kindaichi side-eyeing the hyper Nagisa, Oikawa a bit miffed but chose to use that to rile himself up for their upcoming scrimmage, and lastly, Iwaizumi who had the decency to at least look somewhat apologetic for the behavior of his team.
He shook hands with Kou and flashed her a small smile, “I’m sorry for that one”, he tilted his head in Oikawa’s direction who just huffed and crossed his arms. “I’d be more than willing to discuss training plans with you. I don’t think our volleyball drills will do you guys any good, but I can offer advice on muscle training and cardio. You swimmers need to mind your muscle mass and keep up your endurance during swim meets.”
“Oh! Of course!” Kou replied happily and was writing down her email address to give to him. She could use this information in planning for their next training camp, after all.
The Iwatobi team waved goodbye to the volleyball players who headed off toward their gymnasium.
Kou stared at the email address in her hand dreamily, “Oh, those incredible triceps!”
Makoto stared at her in surprise, “What?! Triceps?! Is that how the entire commotion started?”
“Don’t worry Mako-chan! You have your charm points as well! In the form of your back muscles!”
“Ah…Nagisa, must we bring that up again,” The tips of their captain’s ears were bright red as he recalled the memories of the assembly.
“Despite losing a good candidate, we still need to focus on the task at hand guys! We need to recruit new members!”
“Yeah!” The rest of team Iwatobi echoed, plus Haru who nodded off distractedly.
‘What was a 'Tobio-chan'. Their mascot was [Iwa]tobi-chan?’
x-o-x-o-x
This totally ran away from me, oh my goodness. It turned into an Iwatobi vs. Seijou tug-of-war for Iwa-chan. Then I tried to reel it back in at the end. Crossovers are a lot more difficult to write than I thought. @w@ I hope this was okay!
