Chapter 1: This guy
Summary:
No way! Oikawa exclaimed to himself,
What the fuck. This is all wrong, he cannot believe what is happening right here right now. Him feeling good about Tobio's company is wrong.
It has been a rough day for Oikawa. They lost to Karasuno, he lost to his kouhai. That alone made his life miserable than it could ever had. He hate everything, but the most thing he hates is himself. The day went super slow, as if it was making him and the whole team of Aoba Johsai suffer more than they intended to. It was painful, everyone on the team is trying to hold their own disappointments. They decided to go to their own gym once more and let out their depressions through some spikes and short plays. As they tired their bodies to the fullest, Oikawa dismiss everyone.
"This was our last play wearing this uniform, and it was an ugly experience."
"Hey! Oikawa—"
Oikawa stops Iwaizumi and let himself continue his emotional and hurtful speech.
"But we can never change what has been done. It was not the best result we have hope for…"
His voice, a bit shaking.
"But i never regret to play with you, if i have to lose again, then i want to lose with all of you."
He takes a moment to look at everyone, seeing them teary eyed and tired makes him feel a bit warm.
"Winning or losing as long as its with you, then its worth it."
After a round of hugs and pats, they decided to go and went to their own places. Upon arriving at his house, he was wishing that his parents was home but there was a note saying that they were on some business and will be gone for a week. It was torture, that he cannot speak to someone.
He was alone.
He went upstair as fast as he could. He enter his room and pretend that his mom is downstairs cooking, and his father reading some newspaper. This way, he felt a little bit less lonely. He changed his clothes and lay down to rest but his mind wont give him peace. Everytime he closes his eyes, he sees Tobio-chan glaring at him, standing above him and worst of all, Tobio-chan being happy about him losing.
"Damn it Tobio-chan… Why don't you let me rest.", he said to himself and he regrets it since it made him look miserable. As if he was going insane talking to himself, thinking only about that dumb face of Tobio-chan.
It was past 6:40 p.m. and he still couldn't rest. He decided to buy some refreshing drink. He walks towards 7 eleven, the nearest shop in the neighborhood, he could not feel his feet, like he was an automated robot, it wasn't natural. He bought something he never tried before, an Iced tea with some apple and lemon flavor. He took his leave in the shop and holds onto the bottle of ice tea but he never tried to open and drink it. He wanders around and keep on walking. He was looking on the ground, but it was like him looking at some dark open space.
And then, a voice, a very familiar one was heard. It was approaching him.
"O-Oikawa-san?"
The tone was a pitiful tone, but he doesnt need pity especially from this prodigy. He knew it, the way he said his name. He knew who could have said that, in that way that made him annoyed and longed for it, and even begged for it.
"Oikawa-san, you look terrible."
Oikawa didn't even know how to respond that moment, though he was known for always getting back to whatever was thrown at him. Why in all this time he has to show up. Iwa-chan is not around to stop him if he ever raged his anger that he has been keeping.
"Tobio-chan."
He smiles, fake as ever. And this time it looks even more fake than the usual.
"You really look awful."
Kageyama spoke those words without hesitation and looking at him eye to eye, without even trying to give sympathy for what has happened today.
"You're always merciless Tobio-chan. I fucking hate you.", Oikawa's voice was weak but he managed to smirk, a forceful smirk that made his face look bad than it already was.
How he wish Tobio-chan would just walk away and end their conversation because he exactly know that he cannot move, and he cannot take his eyes away from that deep dark blue gaze. It was tormenting yet fulfilling, but if Tobio-chan would said something painful again, he will punch him to death. He cannot hold it anymore. He was at his limit, and he is really trying his best to compose himself. Trying to be patient and wait for Tobio to leave him alone.
"Oikawa-san, that Iced tea, tasted like shit." Tobio ignored his last statement.
"Huh?"
Kageyama pointed his fingers to the bottle he was holding, he almost forgot what he bought on the store.
"Oikawa-san, that Iced tea, tasted like shit."
Kageyama repeated the same words in the same emotionless voice. It made Oikawa laugh, a human laugh. It felt like ages since he last laugh about some comedy show on tv. It was something like that, it wasnt very funny but it was laughable. And not to mention that the tension around them is really high then Kageyama said something unreasonable to make the mood shift.
"You don't have to repeat yourself, haha."
It did take awhile, he did have a good laugh. And its the best time for him to move, finally he can. He cannot stay longer with Tobio-chan at his state since it will be getting dangerous from time to time.
"Then Tobio-chan, ill be going home now to get rid of you."
He walks past him and he could smell the fresh scent of Tobios skin, and sniff him to tease him. It was very rewarding to feel his nose getting all the scent. He did slow down his walk and it made Tobio be conscious of himself.
Oikawa knew it, that Tobio would make small gestures to react but won't do anything about it. He continued his walk with a smirk on his face. As he was getting a little bit far away from where Tobio-chan where standing, he was tempted to look back but he did fight it and decided to move forward.
"O-oikawa-san! "
Kageyama instantly shouted, as he was running towards him.
Sigh, how he wanted to get away from Tobio. But this kid doesn't always give up from making him mad.
"I… I'll walk you home. " Kageyama was panting slightly from the short run he'd take to catch up with Oikawa. It was a bit shocking to hear Tobio to say something like that.
Was he that worried about Oikawa's state? Probably not, maybe he is trying to show that Oikawa cannot manage to take care of himself because of his defeat. But the again, Tobio isn't that harsh. So maybe, he is really worried. He was thinking so hard he didn't notice Tobio was staring at him intensely.
"Tobio-chan, don't joke around. I can take care of myself so get lost."
He walks faster so that he can leave Tobio but the younger setter walks faster as well. He then stops, he's getting irritated. He doesn't like it when Tobio gets stubborn, he doesn't listen. He never take Oikawa's rejection. They are looking at each other as if they are the only ones existing in the world.
"I… Won't leave you alone, i can't. You look really… tired. And its bothering me."
Kageyama said that in the most gentle tone he could ever give. It was caressing and sweet, that left Oikawa froze himself. He cannot think anymore, and he looked away hoping that he can process everything by now. He really hated this, being pitied by his Kouhai. But he also wants Tobios attention, although he knew he will be annoyed. He drink the iced tea since he doesn't know what to do anymore and yes, Kageyama is right, it tastes like shit. But he takes it all, drinking up to the last drop. He throws the bottle as much as he could and this gives him the release to organize himself back to reality.
"Fine, if you're really that worried about your Senpai." Oikawa instantly make his words very poisonous. There is something behind those words that will make Kageyama regret worrying about him.
It was a silent walk until they reach Oikawa's house.
"Tobio-chan, why don't you stay for awhile, since you really came all this way… "
Oikawa was unsure why he is getting unsure now. Yes he wants to do something to break Tobio somehow, but now that he thinks about it, he actually doesnt have a plan. He opened the door and grab Tobio's right to hand to drag him along. Tobio's hands were soft yet solid, it was a bit sweaty too, but the skin is giving him chills.
"Sorry for the intrusion.." Kageyama announce for entering Oikawa's home.
"Sit down Tobio-chan…No ones home so don't get too nervous" they were both sitting on the long gray couch in the sala as Oikawa noticed that Tobio is pouting a bit and looking away from him.
"Whats wrong? "
"Hands.. " Kageyama's voice is so soft for some unknown reasons. Oh, Oikawa said to himself, then release Tobio-chan hand.
"Oikawa-san… Its okay, uhm, holding hands."
"But you were pouting and looking away you brat. You were uncomfortable."
"No, thats because… You said, No ones home" Kageyama starts to pout again, and Oikawa thought he is cute, maybe, or not, making that face. But just this one at this moment, he is kind of cute. Why is he pouting anyway?
"My parents were on some trip this week…" Oikawa tries to explain as short as possible.
"But you said No ones home."
"Yeh i did. " Oikawa is now getting curious about what is Tobio trying to say. He's really like a child, or more like a baby, always trying to repeat the same words all over again.
"We are, though. We are at home." Kageyama stared straight at Oikawa making him a bit uneasy.
We are, though. We are at home. Those are nice words to hear…
"Tobio-chan, i dont get how your dumb mind works." Oikawa sighs, looking away to escape Kageyamas gaze. Then there was an awkward silence after.
"I'll prepare dinner. Just wait here and be good boy Tobio chan."
Kageyama nods and then Oikawa makes his way to the kitchen. After getting out of Tobio's sight, he thinks about what is happening. Why is it that they are getting friendly, why did he even drag him inside? And why can't he just raged his anger now and throw things at Tobio? He can use the volley ball he was keeping and shove it to Kageyamas face then throw him out. But why is he preparing food? Oikawa's mind is getting all worked up , and he decided to just focus on making the food. Good, there was the flavored chicken meat that he can fry.
He sets the table and calls out to Tobio.
"Tobio-chan, dinners ready!"
"C-coming! " Kageyama walks toward the dining table at the sideway back of the sala. His footsteps is careful and graceful that made Oikawa feel a bit jealous of how Tobio can control his feet.
They start eating their dinner at a peaceful pace. Then Oikawa finds himself enjoying the food and peeks at how Tobio is reacting to what he is eating. Then Tobio caught his eyes, they were both a bit shock.
"O-oikawa san, its good. The food." Tobio said honestly, not breaking eye contact.
"Of course its good, I'm the one who made it after all. " Oikawa doesn't even know if he is still blinking. He doesn't want to miss how Tobio-chan is looking at him now, it's somehow, calming.
"Can't argue to that. " Tobio chuckle a bit and made Oikawa chuckle as well. And it felt like they were getting along just fine. It felt good.
No way! Oikawa exclaimed to himself,
What the fuck. This is all wrong, he cannot believe what is happening right here right now. Him feeling good about Tobio's company is wrong.
They finish their foods in a normal manner way. And after fixing their plates, they head back to the sala. They were talking about how their favorite dishes. Oikawa couldn't believe that he can talk about normal stuff with Tobio. As they were in the middle of their conversation about pork curry, Kageyama's phone ring. The ringtone was the phones built in music. Very classic, suits himself well. Oikawa laughs at his thoughts.
"Hinata?"
Oikawa heard, oh that shrimpy, what business does he have with Tobio-chan this late at night? And he just stared blankly listening to Kageyama, who doesn't go out to take the call.
"K. Bye. "
Tobio hangs up. The whole call was fast and Tobio just answers with yes/no to whatever questions Hinata was asking.
"Oikawa-san, its getting late, ill be going now. Thank you for the dinner."
Oikawa wonders why all of a sudden Tobio-chan will have to go, was it because of Hinata's call? He wanted to ask but theres no way he would let himself ask that! Why would he care anyway? He leads Tobio to the door.
"Tobio-chan, i hope this will be our last meeting." No, why would he said that, did he really mean it? Oikawa could never knew if he really did, but most likely he didn't.
Ending Notes:
Of course Kageyama is the bae here. Expect some drama and fights between Hinata and Oikawa! Thank you for reading :')
