bad rap

The things we become known for aren’t always what we’d like to be known for. Reputations are hard to run from. Sometimes they’re not even deserved. So here’s your chance to set the record straight. Clear up some misplaced assumptions, debunk any rumours about yourself and defy your stereotypes.

how to play:

Top level with something(s) your character is tired of people assuming about them, blaming them for, or pigeonholing them about, etc. Say it in person or over text.

Comment on any surprising, or not so surprising declarations.

I didn't mean "use me" in a bad way... the fact that he bothered to find out was all that kept me in volleyball after my last year of junior high.

[Ahhhh, being asked outright makes Kunimi so happy that he has to double back and smother his reaction, lest he show too much vulnerability. Even the mildly irritated angle of his eyebrows can't really hide it, though.]

I'm mostly fine. I've been putting up with this for a long time. Like, there are really bad days where my levels are way off and it affects my heart and stuff... but I don't have to tell you to take me seriously when it's that bad, you already did before you even knew why.

[That’s comforting, at least. Iwaizumi puts a lot of effort into looking after his team, and especially his kohais. He’s just not sure that that effort is typically recognized (not that it needs to be - he does it because that’s what a vice captain does).]

Yeah, well. I just hope you take care of yourself well enough to know your own limits, kid.

Volleyball’s a great game, but it’s just a game. You can tell us if it’s too much.

[He pauses a moment.] Don’t think I’m going to start coddling you now, though. We’ll know if you’re bullshitting us.

[It’s said affectionately, an attempt to lighten the mood while also letting Kunimi know that this revelation won’t change the way he looks at him.

[He’s kind of wondering now why Oikawa didn’t say something to him earlier. Probably to preserve Kunimi’s pride, the thoughtful bastard.]
