[He doesn't rush actually messaging him, but considering he's kept busy it's been harder to track two people with only names down in this kind of place. With the names being passed on, they've appear in his phone and rather making Akaashi suffer with his terrible typing now--
so he calls.]
so he calls.]
[ After speaking with Tsukishima, Akaashi certainly wouldn't judge Iwaizumi's texting as it is. But he also doesn't mind a call, and at least the Karasuno first year and Oikawa both have told him that he's here. ]
Iwaizumi-san? [ As if making sure that he's not assuming wrong, or seeing the wrong name on the phone. ]

[It's easier for a first time, he thinks, plus he doesn't want to waste energy trying to text when this is quicker.]
Hey. [Well, that at least gets rid of the introductions.] Akaashi, right? Tsukishima said you guys know each other. [He pauses.] I guess we'll all be staying together so I figured I'd check in.

[ So efficient. He's got no complaints about doing it this way. ]
That's right. Fukurodani and Nekoma trained with Karasuno for a little while. [ Something that Kuroo and Tsukishima might have told them before, but he figures it won't hurt to clarify. ] I appreciate it - I'd only known of you and Oikawa-san before arriving here, so it's good to actually know who you are now.

[He makes a small noise to acknowledge he heard that tadbit of information. It's useful, and while he knew of how Kuroo knew the others Akaashi and Bokuto hadn't been explained yet.] They get around, huh?
Oikawa's the famous one anyway, even if he's a pain to monitor when he has interviews.
[You'd know, Akaashi... you'd know...surely.]

They do. Rather like actual crows. [ But all of the teams here are certainly known in the high school circuit. Akaashi could comment and say that Iwaizumi is the ace, so while Oikawa might be the face of the team, he's still one of the pillars of it. But he remembers what Tsukishima told him and instead focuses on something that might be less frustrating in the grand scheme of things. ]
Bokuto-san can be very difficult during interviews, as well. [ Though theirs have usually just been for magazines, he gets it. ] I imagine it'll be very interesting to have them both in the same place.

[Yes, let's not mention all that at the moment, it would only draw silence into the call and neither need that right now. But he does let out a laugh at that, the rest of Akaashi's statement.]
I've only heard rumours on the circuit, I'd rather learn for myself than trust that kind of thing though. [He pauses, then:] In Oikawa's case his shitty personality isn't a lie though, just as a warning.
[Ah how kind]

[Ah how kind]
[ He just got here, he'd rather not cause that kind of rift already. ]
Ah. [ So kind, iwasan. ] You've met Hinata. He and Bokuto-san get along very, very well, if that gives you an idea of things. He is also very close to Kuroo-san, but he's far more... [ Akaashi goes quiet a moment to decide on a word. ]
... genuine. Kuroo-san is Kuroo-san. [ #low key shade ]

[What a nice young gentleman...
But yeah, super kind. To Akaashi, that is.] Hinata I know, though it's more from being on the court I guess. [Unlike Kageyama, for example.]
So he's a different kind of pain-in-the-ass to Kuroo I guess?
[Kuroo is that to him, anyway... sorry.]

[ Akaashi has done nothing to earn his ire and hopefully never will, so this is fine. ]
They have the same energy levels. [ internalized laughter ah... Bokuto, Kuroo, Oikawa, and Hinata all in the same, small sleeping quarters... ] I don't find Kuroo-san to be a bad person but his sense of humor and the fact that he enables Bokuto-san tends to lead to numerous headaches.
Otherwise I wouldn't personally call Bokuto-san a pain in the ass.

The same? [That sounds exhausting. At least with Oikawa and Kuroo they weren't bouncing around everywhere, they were just being really gross together. He can ignore that well enough.]
He gives me headaches already. [Life as Kuroo's chew toy have not been kind, but that's also his own fault for reacting so quickly. Ah.
He wonders if he's offended him by saying that at the end though, and considering they're supposed to be getting on well, well--] Sorry, I'm used to everyone falling in line.
[That's because they all respect/adore him even if he doesn't realise it that much though lbr...]

The same. [ It is exhausting, but he's used to it. Add in Kuroo and Lev, and the third gym is... well. ]
He is very good at that. [ There's some of his infamous exasperation in his voice, but he would also defend his honor where it mattered. And he's not even honor bound like Tsukishima.
But Akaashi huffs softly, a little laugh. ] No, it's all right. It was more of a... reassurance, I suppose. He means well, he's just very energetic and direct. I'm sorry, really - Fukurodani is used to Bokuto-san, but I forget sometimes that others aren't.
[ It's the perks of being the alpha male of Aoba Jousai, Iwaizumi. ]

I can tell. [It's said dryly, but really he hasn't been too bad outside of remarks to try and wind him up. It's just a shame he's similar enough to Oikawa to make him snap most of the time.]
I'm not very good at keeping my temper in check, so that's part of it I guess. [No it's a definite. But he gets by. He lets out a sigh.] At least it sounds like he's a decent person just difficult to control. We have someone like that too.
[No, Iwaizumi, Kyoutani is only nice to you...]

[No, Iwaizumi, Kyoutani is only nice to you...]
[ He offers him a sigh of understanding, to be honest. Because Keiji has been there, he really has been. But he also knows Kuroo is reliable, in his way, so there's that at least. ]
Fortunately, I've been told I have far too much patience for one person. [ It's kind of funny, actually. ] Once you understand him he's easy to manage, I find. Is it like that with your teammate?
[ Akaashi that's completely different. ]

[ Akaashi that's completely different. ]
[He was reliable until he started trying to climb the fucking tree, Akaashi... then all bets were off, apparently.]
Pretty fortunate, yeah. Though I wouldn't say that's the case either. [He pauses.] It's not easy to understand him.
[Iwaizumi is probably the only person who knows him in and out, after all.]

[ Maybe he'll redeem himself. Maybe. Akaashi has a little bit of faith in him? ]
It's hit or miss. [ Dryly. But he only questions his life about half the time. ] I feel like all teams have someone a little like that, even if it varies.
[ Again, this is a case of "perks of being the alpha of Aoba Jousai." ]

[ At least they're all on this journey together. Journey of suffering, but still. ]
He seems very... [ Akaashi has to think of how to put this. ] Chipper, but it's obvious that he's watching everything.
[ Much like he does. But he has no qualms whatsoever with Oikawa being captain here, after that interaction. ]

[The longest journey of suffering...]
Very... Chipper. [He repeats it back, but part of that is because he knows it's all a lie to keep himself and others together. The strain in his voice might show that too.] He's probably watching more than he should at this point.

[ owlsan we need to have junk food solidarity. ]
I know Yachi is in it. Sometimes she brings us cookies.
I'm not in the baking club, it's a bit right after my training with Slaine and it means going home late in the evening .... but it wouldn't be so bad if we go back to the gym together.
And anyway, it's a lot better to make your own desserts than to rely on the cafeteria not serving bean curry for a month.

[ That is fair...... ]
I was only ever in the volleyball club back home, but that was because I had to focus on my studies and had violin practice every night after club. So it's a little strange to think I have the free time for more clubs, even if this school is what it is.
Though, the baking club doesn't sound too bad. Especially when you put it like that - the fact the cafeteria would serve bean curry for a month doesn't shock me
