終わらない夜に願いはひとつ "星のない空に輝く光を"
A simple smile turned into words, and then he runs, and Hina-chan runs by his side.
They run towards the hills, through the people and their apologies and bows to the royal couple, they run to the bridge and beyond, towards the wood and through the threes until they reach silence.
Until they reach a fallen tree trunk that is better than any throne, until they're just two people sitting together, and the stars and the fireworks are all they can see above the leaves.
Until all he feels is the body relaxed against his, glints of the brightest stars on this calm face ―on this childlike, innocent face; and the smile he can see right now, right here, is all that matters now.
Oikawa may only wonder if, from some place among the stars, Iwaizumi is able to see him. If he can see him by his Hina-chan's side, and laugh because of how utterly blind, how capricious and completely foolish has his best friend been until a couple of minutes ago. Laugh at him because, at some point between wordless devotion and reverence, between sobs and rage for a love turned to dust, he has found himself letting out more sighs than meek words for someone that has entered his life of the most ridiculous, possible way.
No, this isn't as fateful as an imperishable friendship, nor is it similar to its bitter freedom. This is broken bones, this is an unknown flower's roots that have sprouted through a shattered, dirt-covered water vessel
And when his eyes find this sweet being, this corporeal fire, he wishes he could be the one to gather the smithereens ―he wishes he could be the one to rebuild its cropped life, to be the one to take its hands when its feet can barely leave prints in the sand.
He wishes he could find a way to describe this, to name this discovery with his own name written in breaths.
"Hey, Hina-chan."
The eyes stop gazing at the nocturnal display and the little head turns towards him, looking straight at him.
"Yes, Tooru-san?"
Oikawa knows that, if he wants to win something, he must first be ready to lose some other things. One of them being this dark cover he always uses to disguise his intentions as mere mischief. Even if this causes the voice that has barely learned to address him without fear induced stuttering to shake once again.
Because the one he's spending the rest of his life with deserves neither lies nor schemes.
No, this one person deserves the whole truth, and all the responsibility this entails.
And truth to be told, there's only one thing Oikawa fervently desires right now.
"I will make you fall in love with me."
And if there's something Oikawa Tooru knows for sure, it's the fact that, ever since childhood, everything he desires shall be given to him.
Oikawa u lil shit.
