[The job was a temp thing, something to do during the summer before she was officially in college. She hasn't quite decided if she'll still do it when classes start again, or if she'll find something closer, but she figured getting the experience now while there was still a few months before classes start would make the transition easier.

Of course, she's already been visited by a few friends who found out. Her former teammates teased her about any cute guys she's met, and Sawamura wished her good luck when he had accidentally found out by entering said store. All in all, it hasn't been too bad. She was responsible and cheerful, and she's gotten along with all the old ladies who passed by. So she was confident nothing can go wrong, at least not right now.

So when the bell rings, signalling someone entering the store, she smiles brightly from behind the counter-- it's been a very slow day-- as she greets him.]

Hello, welcome to our store!

[There are a few people who think that Oikawa entering a store is definitely something going wrong, perhaps not clapping thunder and cracking lightning down onto the roof wrong, but around the level of walking into the corner of a table. And much like walking into the corner of a table, he has a tendency to make people wince.

Well, if they're not charmed by his winning smile anyway.

He has a smaller smile in place than his usual today, he doesn't like summer, not now he's free of school and club activities, when all he's doing is waiting and trying to nail down his plans for college. Most of the work is finished, but there's still one or two things left hanging that have yet to resolve themselves which irk him.

He waves to the store clerk behind the counter as she greets him. Her face rings a bell, but he can't place it, she might have gone to Seijou? Perhaps a year ahead of him and that's why he doesn't immediately recognise her. Still, worth further investigation.]

Have you worked here long?

No, not really! I just started last-- [It doesn't click with Yui immediately. She wasn't really paying attention to his face, except that quick idea of 'oh, he's kind of cute' because she was used to seeing people come and go. However, when he starts to speak, she actually does pay attention this time, blinking for a second before she realizes just who she's talking to.]

Oh hey! You're that grand king, aren't you? From Aoba Jousai?

[Okay so she might be picking up the wrong keywords from Sawamura's teammates.]

[He's not complaining in the slightest! And his face lights up at her words. No one really says that in front of him, though he heard it a couple of times by accident - Hinata's hold on his tongue could use improvement. ]

I'm not sure, what does a grand king entail? Oh! But I am from Aoba Jousai. Where are you from?

[She could be from Karasuno if she's calling him that, but it's hard to say, nicknames do have a tendency to spread after all.]

I'm not sure actually, but some of the guys call you that. [She says it all with a big smile, rubbing the back of her neck. Was it a bad thing? She's not sure. Hopefully she wasn't inadvertently insulting him.]

I'm from Karasuno, but we've never really met. I've seen you on TV though.

[Between "grand king" and her seeing him on TV, Oikawa's grinning, he definitely doesn't see it as a bad thing in the least.]

Do you have a name as well? I would hate to have to call you "the cute girl from Karasuno" if I mention you to someone.

[...

...

Wait what? Did he just

He just did

Oh god that is so embarrassing, he just called her cute.

The reaction is almost immediate at the words, only delayed by the brief pause at the beginning when she had been absorbing what was said. It doesn't take long after that for her to look extremely embarrassed, eyes widening and jaw dropping for a second before she turns beet red, arms already flying out in front of her in denial as she shakes her head.]

W, what-- no, I'm not-- I mean, I um... [Oh gosh so flustered. If you were Sawamura, she'd punch you.] I, I, um...

Michimiya. [She ends up squeaking out in the end. Oh god that's so embarrassing.]

[She might be embarrassed, but Oikawa's used to having that effect, particularly when he was aiming for it. It's not like it's a lie: she is cute, particularly when she's fumbling all over herself from a simple compliment.

He smiles and tries not to laugh as she stutters. Eventually leaning forward because he didn't really catch that.]

Michi-? [He thinks that was the first half of that squeak. Please don't put him in the same category as Sawamura and start punching, he's already got Iwaizumi throwing volleyballs at him on a regular basis.]

[Oikawa, you are the worst.

She resists the urge to hide her face in embarrassment, shaking her head immediately to try to calm down. Okay. Okay. She can do this she's much more composed than this oh god he called her cute is he for real how can he say that so casually how do you even respond--

And then she slaps her cheeks really hard that it echoes inside the store.

Okay.

She's got this.

She straightens up almost immediately after, those hands of hers moving away from her face and forming little fistpumps of determination. Please ignore the palm marks on her face.]

Sorry! It's Michimiya Yui of Karasuno, former captain of the Girl's Volleyball Team. It's nice to meet you, Grand King!

[Oikawa does his best not to let his alarm show on his face - and manages an admirable job considering - but did she just slap herself?! That's like having her own inbuilt Iwaizumi. He resists asking if she's okay and instead nods in reply.]

It's nice to meet you, former captain of Karasuno Girls' volleyball team.

[He scratches his cheek, because he sure is still looking at those pink marks, they're very distracting, and very pink.

Maybe... he steps around to one of the other aisles, looking for something along them, he finds it easily enough and returns to toss a 500 yen coin onto the counter to cover the cost, and follows it with a small bottle of aloe vera.] For your cheeks, Michimiya-chan.

[Wait, no, not that.]

Eh? I'm fine, really! [Even if her cheeks are red, her resolve is pure and strong! Or well, something to that extent. Either way, that's not the outcome she wanted.]

I actually do this a lot. It's really helpful when I want to focus.

[Please don't buy her stuff, paying customer. She doesn't want you to do that.]

[Horror takes over Oikawa's face. She does this all the time?!]

Doesn't that hurt? [Her cheeks are still pink!!

Please take that aloe, it's doing him a favour.]

It does, but it fades away! Really, you don't have to get me anything.

[So no, nooo no not getting that.]

It's like-- when you're panicking or in a pinch, you need a wake up call. That's how it works.

[Even offering you a reassuring smile because she's totally fine, please believe her.]

[He so does not believe her.

But it would be rude to disagree more when she's so convinced.]

I see, I see. Maybe I'll give it a try sometime. [He considers for a moment.] Or maybe I'll get Iwa-chan to do it for me, he's always very bracing.

Iwa-chan?

[She can't hear their banter very well from the stands, unfortunately, so she's not sure who that one is.]

My darling Iwa-chan! The spiker to my setter, the ace to my captain~

Though we're tragically separated for now. [He pauses, pretending to consider whether any of that would be useful in identifying Iwaizumi.] He's the cranky one who used to yell at me.

--- Oh! Oh, now I remember. He was really, really good!

[And you know, Yui was also an ace in her team. Tragically, they were never even half as good as the Karasuno boys' team, and she still believes it's her fault, but the past is the past.]

You guys didn't go to the same university then?

He was! It's unfortunate he stuck by me through high school, I always outshone him. [Oikawa's joking when he says that, and comes off as entirely fond. He doesn't know what he'd have done without Iwaizumi for those three years and he's not sure what he'll do without him during university, but that's a then problem.]

We're not, [he sighs, it's mostly for show but he really is a bit upset that he won't have his ace with him to keep fighting.] Iwa-chan's joining the workers of the world until he's old enough to join the police force. [Oikawa shakes his head.] I always new he was a brute, but I didn't know how much of one until he told me that was his plan.

Eh... Really? But I thought you two worked well as a pair. I don't think you can get that without you trusting him a lot, right?

[It's an innocent question, but she has heard that he was super good. She knows that Seijoh was something like a giant hurdle for their team before, because of how good they were. She smiles at that, though, giggling a bit.]

You're saying that, but... doesn't that mean you'll miss him?

[She may not be as good as he is in volleyball, but she can be observant in other parts.]

[Oikawa grins at that, he likes anyone who can see through him when he's all but lying.] Oh. I'm not sure. I'll be terrible busy you know. There's volleyball and school, lots of new girls to charm, who has time for missing childhood friends?

[He'll find time, he's sure, and he's not looking forward to it, but he can deny it all he likes at times like these.]

Aww, don't say that! Everyone's got time for friends, right?

[And she'll even deliver a playful punch to his shoulder-- or well, it's playful for her, maybe more painful for him.

Sorry man, she doesn't know her own strength sometimes.] I wish my friends visited me more often here.

[Yep definitely painful, not bad though, makes him think of nicer times with ace spikers lobbing volleyballs a his head. The blow knocks him a step backwards but he keeps his balance. He rubs his shoulder, trying to keep his smile in place.]

Well, I can visit again, if you'd like. [He might stand a couple of steps further back in future, though.]

A convenience store probably isn't the most fun place to meet though.

[--- Oh. Oooh crap. Now she remembers!]

Ack! I'm sorry, did I take up all your time? You must've been busy too.
