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.

[Iwaizumi cocks a brow, looking nothing less than amused now, though the expression isn’t taunting. Is he imagining the blush on Shirabu’s cheeks? It makes his own stomach twist in an unfamiliar way - well, unfamiliar for this guy, anyway.]

Not gonna argue that one, eh? I don’t blame you.

[His lips part with the threat of a laugh (he really does clean up well the wider his smile gets, or so he’s been told on occasion), but before it escapes him he hears an obnoxiously familiar voice down the hallway. He turns his head back over his shoulder as his expression drops back into its usual vague air of irritation. Looks like it’s time to split.

[He turns back to Shirabu one more time before he goes, locking eyes with him again. He’s surprised to find himself savoring that last glance.]

I’ll see you around, Shirabu.

[Even if Shirabu wanted to explain his reaction - even if he could - he snaps out of it far too late. Iwaizumi's already a couple of steps away and Shirabu registers that Oikawa was the one calling him, which means separating asap is the only wise move. All he can do is hope Oikawa didn't catch him gaping at Iwaizumi like that, because to anyone else, the meaning of his look must have been crystal clear.]

Ah - see you.

[Spoken barely above a whisper to Iwaizumi's retreating back.]
