“Oikawa, what are you doing here?” Annoyed, Hanamaki said, As Oikawa opened the door of the building’s dance practice room. The next action of the leader made Hanamaki roll his eyes, Oikawa didn’t even bat an eyelash about Hanamaki’s annoying question but, he immediately put down the paper bag together with the chilled drinks he bought outside. Sugawara tried to hide the amusement on his face when Hanamaki let out a heavy sigh.
“Why? Am I not welcome here?” Oikawa asked, eyes looking at the two like a discarded puppy, and before Hanamaki could even open his mouth, he continued, “As a leader, I need to see how my members are doing. Look, I even bought you food and drink, ungrateful brat.” Hanamaki lets out a groan and Sugawara lets out a laugh as he cannot contain the silliness of the situation. “See! Even Kou-chan thinks I am fun to be with! Just don’t mind me here and start practicing! Don’t fail our fans~”
And since Hanamaki doesn’t want to start the endless banter with his team leader, he turned and played the music. Once the music has started booming inside the practice room, the atmosphere has changed into a serious one. The pair didn’t mind the pair of eyes watching every step they made as they immersed themselves to the beat as if a crowd was watching.
A week after Oikawa’s live, Sugawara was contacted by his own group’s manager, saying that someone from Seijoh Entertainment wanted to collaborate with him. He expected that it would be Oikawa. Especially that the latter even mentioned it publicly, even Sugawara heard it with his ears.
Sugawara even relives the feeling of giddiness in his guts when he heard Oikawa mentioning their anticipated collab in his own personal live and the thought of being on the same stage with Oikawa makes him restless, pumped with excitement. That night, Sugawara dreams about a heartwarming performance with everyone’s prince charming, Oikawa Tooru.
But, He’s wrong. He was offered by The Castles’ Main dancer, Hanamaki Takahiro, to collaborate with him.
“Hanamaki-san, can I ask something?”
Sugawara asked, eyeing the pink-haired man in front of him. Hanamaki looks up while munching the slice of cake that they ordered as they reach the Seijoh’s cafeteria in their company’s building to discuss the details. The guy is radiating with a laid-back personality, unlike being with other idols, Sugawara doesn't feel any intimidation towards the guy. The air around them isn’t something that will make you feel uncomfortable, which Sugawara is very thankful for.
However, a question bugs his mind ever since their managers left them together to discuss the project on their own. With a thought in mind, Sugawara took a glance outside, the snow started to color the outside world white, falling gently on the streets of Tokyo.
“Hmm?” Hanamaki answers as he takes his coffee to gulp on it, Sugawara turns his head and observes the other’s actions as he tilts his head to the side, 'he does really enjoyed the cake' Sugawara thought as Hanamaki took another bite right before the silver-haired opened his mouth to ask.
“Why me?” Hanamaki raises his eyebrows that made Sugawara panic instantly, the silver-haired waves his hands before continuing, “I’m sorry! Look, you have Kindaichi and even Mad dog-san, I am just wondering why would you choose someone outside your group when your group already consists of amazing dancers like you.”
“That’s nice of you to acknowledge my talent but I’m tired of them.” Hanamaki simply answers that made Sugawara laugh, he's right about what he thought of Hanamaki, relaxed and easy going. “Hey, It’s true! I see them 24/7, I want to be with someone new. That’s why it’s such a relief when manager-san said that I can collaborate with people outside of the group.” Hanamaki looks at Sugawara, “I immediately think of you, ‘How about Oikawa’s Mr. Refreshing.’ You’re the main dancer so this will work.” Hanamaki nods, more to himself apparently, trying to convince himself that he made the right decision that made Sugawara almost let out a chuckle.
“Eh? Mr. Refreshing?” He asked, curiosity shown in his brown orbs, he even got more curious when he saw the face that Hanamaki is showing. The guy has a subtle smirk on his lips while his eyes are shining with mischief, Sugawara immediately thought of the whines of Oikawa on how mean his teammates are, and here Hanamaki is, exposing his leader.
“Oikawa gave you that nickname when he first saw you with your group in the cafeteria of one of the music shows back then. He just mumbled it out of nowhere, honestly.” Hanamaki stirred his coffee, “He wants to talk to you to the point that he almost grabbed a sandwich and put his number there to give it to you secretly but Iwaizumi caught him and hit his head before he even did it.” Hanamaki laughs, reliving in his head the time when he, himself cannot believe the cause of the chaos that their leader made is right in front of his eyes, “He said that your smiles and laughs refresh his day. It's a cheesy nickname, isn’t it?”
A soft blush arises on Sugawara's cheek as he thinks of Oikawa being silly as he usually is. The silver-haired let out a small smile that he hides behind his cup of hot chocolate as he mumbled, “It is.”
In hours talking to each other as they talked about the forming collaboration, Sugawara doesn’t find himself regretting having to work with Hanamaki as the other guy is witty yet professional, they immediately shared the same love they have in dancing and also, the same love they have on being on Oikawa’s nerves every single day.
They even shared stories on what Sugawara said on Oikawa’s face when they bumped each other on the stage for the first time,
( Sugawara wants to roll his eyes, wanting to jab the taller’s stomach with his elbow but he just smiled. He smiles widely, the blinding smile that the fans usually love. Oikawa seems to be a little flustered tho, a pink shade dusting on his cheek, “Well, Oikawa-san, My Tsukishima who’s two years younger than you is even taller than your lanky figure.”
Hanamaki laughed so loud after hearing that he almost got kicked out of the cafe. While Sugawara doesn't know if he feels proud or embarrassed of himself by saying that.)
The stories of Hanamaki and Matsukawa hiding Oikawa’s shoes when he fell asleep inside the dressing room.
(“Hey, He almost cried that day because it’s his favorite shoes and we got a really hard glare from Iwaizumi. That was scary.” Hanamaki said while rubbing his arms, still feeling the shiver under Iwaizumi’s glare, gaining a laugh from Sugawara.)
The stories on how everyone knows Oikawa’s obsession with milk bread.
( Sugawara scoffs, “It seems like you will be living under the rock if you don’t know that milk bread is To- Oikawa’s” Hanamaki raises his eyebrows hearing the first syllables of Oikawa’s first name on Sugawara’s tongue but lets it slide when he remembers this silly situation.
“His fans sent a truck of milk bread to our dorm and even though he already gave the majority of it to everyone, he still has some up until now.”
“That’s insane!”
“I know.” )
As time passes, Sugawara has been told that the collaboration will take place at their yearly winter music awards, something that every idol looks forward to as it is indeed a big event. Despite anxiety crippling in his veins, Sugawara knows that it's a big opportunity to promote his group even more.
With enthusiasm, The meeting ended well. They easily compromise with each other’s ideas, making it easier to agree with each other’s suggestions. They didn’t take too long as night during winter is long and it is already approaching. As they finished paying for their snacks, they ended the conversation outside the cafe by dealing with their practice schedules.
"Ano, Hanamaki-san." Sugawara started, "Before we parted ways, I just wanted to say thank you for allowing me to perform with you, it's such an honor." Sugawara said quietly and bowed down. “This will be my first collaboration ever since I debuted and I am surprised that I even got invited, I will work hard.”
"No problem, Sugawara-san. Don’t mention it. Our awesome talents will go to waste if we don’t give it the exposure that it deserves, right?” Hanamaki winks that made Sugawara laugh with a nod, “And, at least we got to annoy Oikawa with this." Hanamaki grins, "plus, we got to troll our fans as well, a triple win for us."
"You're awful, Hanamaki-san." Sugawara laughs, "As if you don't think the same, Sugawara-san." Hanamaki said with a chuckle, "Honestly, I am glad that this meeting went well. Thank you for accepting my offer. See you, Sugawara-san."
"See you."
With a bow, they parted ways,
And as Sugawara started walking away, Hanamaki pulls out his phone, opening his messaging app before typing
To: Iwaizumi, Matsukawa:
No question why Oikawa likes this guy. He's nice. You can stop worrying now www
