Right. Sakusa's always been a bit thorough with his research, hasn't he? Of course, this isn't research about a rival or opponent in volleyball so much as he's likely just trying to find out more about the people Wakatoshi's been with. It's normal to want to know about your lover's ex, one of those article had boasted, and if your foundation of a relationship is strong enough, then divulging such details shouldn't be a problem.
(Wakatoshi can't remember which magazine had said that, though. It was likely a men's magazine, though...)
He thinks it over a moment, then shrugs and responds, naturally--]
I haven't dated many people. They were mostly brief dalliances, really. I don't think you know of them aside from the captain of Niiyama Girls' volleyball team; that was mostly experimental for the both of us. And Shirabu Kenjirou, who played setter for Shiratorizawa for two years.

...as I was saying. I...am not sure if he will agree with me in calling it a relationship, but I did have something with Oikawa Tooru, a volleyball player I've known for quite some time. I don't know if you know of him, he plays in Argentina now...
[Now that he thinks about it, Wakatoshi may have been heard talking about that particular setter. Not directly to Sakusa, as Wakatoshi didn't talk much about Miyagi or other particular players during his conversations with him over the years. And since Oikawa's team never made it to Nationals because of Wakatoshi, he never saw the point. But word may have gotten around...]
