"Why are you here?"
Oikawa stared at Kuroo, who the brunette thought was staying with his family. Kuroo grinned care-freely while reading a manga and lying on his bed which was the upper bunk. "My dear mother told me to relax my mind after studying hard. She told me to go to a friend's house." Kuroo informed.
"This isn't your friend's house though. This is your dorm room." Oikawa replied while eyeing the black-haired male weirdly. "Go home. Leave this room to me." The brunette insisted but Kuroo stubbornly shook his head. "Why do you want me to go? Are you inviting a girl over?" Kuroo questioned while wriggling his eyebrows suggestively. Oikawa grabbed a pillow from Ushijima's bed before hitting Kuroo's face with it. Unfortunately, the black-haired male avoided.
"It's a good thing that you're not talking to my cousin anymore. You're such a lustful creature... Or a fickle man, should I say?" Kuroo spoke with his eternally present smirk and since Oikawa hated that facial expression the most, he snarls before saying, "Well, Rino and I are cool again. She accepted my apology."
Kuroo stops smirking and sits on his bed. "What?" he uttered shortly. "You and my cousin are fine again? How is that –"
"I was soooo cute that she accepted my apology and guess what? We went in a coffee shop and she let me take a picture of her." Oikawa boasted while Kuroo went down the upper bunk to approach his roommate.
"Let me see the picture you took of her. Let me see if it's appropriate." Kuroo attempted to yank Oikawa's phone away but the brunette kicked his roommate away. "Go away!" he yelled before hiding his phone in his shirt. Kuroo chucked darkly before shaking his head in disapproval. "Let me look at it." He said in a threatening tone.
"Don't wanna! Why should I? Pay me first to see!" Oikawa sang while laughing at his roommate's expression. Nothing tastes more than wiping the arrogant smirk off of Kuroo's face. Suddenly, Oikawa's phone vibrates and when he checks it, he discovers Nagishima's name. Gasping at the sudden message, the brunette felt his lips tug upwards. Clicking on the message sent to him, he felt fidgety.
"I saw Aizawa-san and Ushijima-san while roaming around the mall."
Oikawa stops smiling when he read what Nagishima sent. He tries to think of a reply for that but he stops pondering when another message pops up.
"We're cool right now. The three of us are coincidentally wearing shades."
Attached to Nagishima's message is a selfie of her, Aizawa and Ushijima with shades. Oikawa bit his lips as he felt an emerging grin spread on his face. He observed the picture sent to him before kicking the bed in utter restlessness. He then stops for a moment before giggling like a high-school girl. The feeling he's getting seems familiar yet it felt new as well. He wondered what it was he's feeling so he takes a glimpse at the image Nagishima sent and when he sees it, he shuts his phone off and pushes it under a pillow.
"What are you doing? Are you texting someone you like?" Kuroo grilled with a bitter look. Oikawa stops grinning when he hears what his roommate asked him. Turning his attention to the black-haired male, Oikawa felt speechless whereas Kuroo gasped. "Is the person you're talking to... someone you actually like?" he grilled then pausing for a second. "You actually like someone seriously... who is it?" he grilled even further.
Oikawa gulped before mumbling, "Do I like her? I don't think I do..."
"Oi, listen! The fact that you're acting like that is a dead give-away that you like this person so tell me who it is so I can help you!" Kuroo retorted.
"It's... Rino."
The room went quiet after Oikawa answered. While Kuroo eyed his roommate with shock, Oikawa was gaping at the blatant mistake he made. All of a sudden, his phone rings and when he picks it up, a familiar soft voice greeted him.
"Oikawa-san... can we meet at the park?"
Eyeing his roommate, Oikawa nods. "Yeah... Wait for me there, Rino."
Kuroo smirks grimly while Oikawa stands up. He then goes to his closet and picks clothes to wear before grabbing a towel from his drawer. "Good luck stopping me. I'll take a bath so..." Oikawa pauses before snarling at Kuroo. "Stop me from doing so and I won't meet with your cousin." He informs before opening the door and running away. Kuroo doesn't hesitate and chases after the male.
"Why are you sweaty?" Nagishima questioned as Oikawa wiped his sweat away. He huffed in exhaustion and saw Nagishima handing him a water bottle. Taking the bottle without second thoughts, the brunette downed it in one go.
"Wahhh... you're really exhausted, huh?" the black-haired female mused as she read the note that Aizawa left her. Questioning the older female's orders, Nagishima sighed before speaking. "Oikawa-san, Aizawa-san told me that you need to go back home and spend two days there. She also told me that you have to take care of your nephew..." Nagishima paused when she noticed something. "You're an uncle?" she asked the male brunette.
Oikawa closed the bottle and nodded as a response. He then made a finger gun and placed it under his chin. "The hottest and youngest uncle you'll meet, Oikawa Tooru." He praised himself shamelessly. He then clicks his tongue when he realizes why Aizawa made Nagishima say it to him instead of her. "Why did you listen to my cousin? Are you her maid?" Oikawa grilled with irritation. "The fact that I can't say no to you is why Momo made you say that to me." He added.
"You can't say no to me?"
The brunette stops and hummed in thought. He nods warily before smiling softly. "Yeah, I can't say no to you." He says. Nagishima sighed at what the older male said. "You're really acting like my father. Do you want me to call you dad, hmm?" she questioned before looking down on her shoe laces and finding it untied. She then lowers herself to tie her shoe laces. Seeing the younger female down, the brunette had a naughty idea.
Smirking suggestively, he utters "If you're going to call me anything, you might as well call me 'daddy.'"
After Nagishima finished tying her shoe laces, she blinks and stands up, staring at the older male with confusion. "Daddy? Why... daddy?" she asked, taking into account that she says what Oikawa wants to hear. When the male brunette hears this, he scans Nagishima's clothes and finds her wearing a hoodie. Flustered by the sudden name-calling, he pulls Nagishima's hoodie and throws it over her head, surprising the black-haired female. He then abruptly pulls the two hanging strings on the female's jacket making the hoodie completely cover Nagishima's face.
"Don't say that again! I was just joking!" Oikawa exclaimed as he kept his hold on the two cords that was keeping the hoodie covering Nagishima's face. "Why did I say that, better yet, why did she say that?" he mused, clearly hot and bothered. "Only experienced people can say that so don't say it." He tells the younger girl.
"Then I'll get experienced as well."
Oikawa gasps at what Nagishima says. "With who?" he asked with a serious face.
"Uhhh... with anyone? With you?" Nagishima replies.
Oikawa pulls the thread even more when he hears what the female say. He sighs in an irked manner and looks down on her clothes. He blinks when he sees her wearing something she normally doesn't wear.
"Who taught you to wear clothes like ripped jeans? Look, you're showing skin." He said as he releases his grip on the two cords on Nagishima's jacket making the female finally pull her hood down. Nagishima checks her jeans and wondered what was wrong with it. "My female classmates told me that I look good with this. Is it bad? Do I look homeless?" she murmured in curiosity.
"No. You look sexy." The male brunette replied before taking a deep breath. "But that aside, I want to say something to you." He says nervously. He just made up with the black-haired female so is it alright to ask her out already? Well, he isn't actually going to ask her out, he's just going to tell her that he likes her... nothing's wrong with that, right?
"What is it?" Nagishima questioned.
Rubbing the back of his neck, Oikawa says, "I actually – "
"I love you."
The two went silent when that was said. Nagishima gasps while Oikawa shakes his head fervently. "I didn't say that!" he denied as he covered his mouth. He notices that Nagishima was looking behind him and when he decides to look back, he catches Kuroo smiling at him innocently.
"Oikawa Tooru..." Kuroo muttered before sighing dreamily. "I love you."
People around the park stared at the two male as Kuroo pulls Oikawa closer to him while Oikawa tried to back away but his roommate held his wrist tightly. "What are you doing, Kuroo?" Oikawa gritted his teeth while attempting to push Kuroo away. "What am I doing? From the very start after I saw you in our room, I fell in love so here I am... I'm confessing my love to you so don't confess your feelings to a certain someone. Please." Kuroo spoke as he emphasized on the words "certain someone."
"Come with me. Let's go back to our room, okay?" Kuroo spoke seductively as he pulled Oikawa with him. The brunette looked back at Nagishima and gave pleading eyes. "Rino, help me." Oikawa said but Nagishima gave a supportive smile as he understood the situation. Thinking that it must be what Oikawa wanted to tell her, she shows two thumbs up while smiling acceptingly. "Use protection." She reminds as the two college males went away. Sighing dreamily, Nagishima wondered when she would fall in love like her cousin.
Kuroo lets go of Oikawa and glared at him coldly.
"What did you just say to my cousin? That she should call you 'daddy'? That she's sexy?" Kuroo interrogated while Oikawa glowered back at him. "You made me look like I'm about to sleep with you! Are you trying to cause a rumor?" Oikawa retaliated earning him a scoff from the black-haired male.
"Stop caring about your reputation, it was already broken a long time ago." Kuroo replied with a snarl.
"Broken? My reputation? It isn't!" Oikawa responded angrily.
"Why do people think you're trash then?"
"Don't lump me up with your kind."
The two roommate stared dagger at one another before someone opens the door to their room. The two instantly inches away from each other as they check to see who entered the room. It was Ushijima. Kuroo quickly points at Oikawa before pretending to cry.
"Ushiwaka! This trash likes my cousin! Are you allowing that?" The black-haired male questioned while Oikawa clicked his tongue at the two.
"Nothing's wrong with that. Aizawa already told me that her cousin likes Nagishima." Ushijima replied as stoic as ever. Kuroo groans at what he heard while Oikawa grinned arrogantly at the black-haired male. "You heard it. Screw off, Kuroo. Ushiwaka already told that it's fine so it's fine." The brunette spoke in a mocking tone before lying on his bed. He pulls his phone from his pocket and stops smirking when he sees another message from the black-haired female.
"Aizawa-san told me that I should accompany you tomorrow on your way to Miyagi so I'll be waiting for you at the station on 10 PM. See you tomorrow."
Oikawa wowed at his cousin's skills on being a henchwoman. He doesn't know how Aizawa knew that before him but he sure is thankful.
"I'll be going to Miyagi tomorrow and I'll stay there for two days." He giddily informs his two roommate as he stood up and packed his things.
Scanning the area to see if a certain brunette is around, Nagishima sighs in relief when she doesn't see anyone. She then looks down on the note that Aizawa gave her and frowned at it.
"Why would she ask me to do this? Act cute before Oikawa-san leaves? Why should I do that?" the black-haired female mumbled in bafflement as she leaned on a wall. When she sees someone familiar, she blinks and narrows her eyes.
Oikawa stops walking when he sees Nagishima leaning on a wall. "Woah, she's actually here." He mused before drawing near her. As he neared the black-haired female, he catches her smiling kindly. "I'm here to send you off. Aizawa-san's orders so don't try to avoid me." Nagishima informed immediately, causing the brunette to smile at her in amusement. "Why do you need to send me off?" he asked in an attempt to confuse the younger girl.
"Uhh... maybe Aizawa-san didn't want you to be lonely... that's why she tasked me to be here." Nagishima answered as she stared at her phone. When Oikawa notices this, he yanks her phone away making Nagishima shocked at the sudden action.
"Hmm... acting cute? Why do you need to act cute in front of me?" Oikawa asked in bemusement despite knowing the reason why his cousin made Nagishima do that. "It's because she knows that I like it when someone acts cute." He told himself before inspecting Nagishima's reaction. "In her case... she wouldn't act cute that easily. She's that kind of person who hates acting cute." He thought.
Nagishima shakes her head and huffs. "Forget about the reason, I'm going to act cute." She notifies. "Do you know what nico nico nii is?" she questioned and Oikawa scoffs at her after hearing it. "You can't do that. Only the cutest of the cutest can do that. Like me." He tells with haughtiness as he pointed at himself.
The black-haired girl frowned and sighed. She yanks her phone away from the brunette's hold and checks the second note that Aizawa sent her. As she's reading it, she hears a notification that the train will arrive soon. Glancing at the male in front of her who was staring at her with expectation, she sighs again and reads the note.
"If you can't act cute, just act like a sweet mother and pat his hair then say something that a mother would say."
Nagishima blinks at what was written before lowering her phone. Taking a deep breath, she stands on her tiptoes on pats Oikawa gently before smiling softly.
"Get back here safely, okay? I'll miss you."
Oikawa gaped at what Nagishima said and felt breathless at the unexpected action from her. He inhales deeply before grabbing her phone and reading what his cousin ordered the younger female to do. With his mouth hanging ajar, he covers his mouth as he finds out about what Aizawa told Nagishima to do. Peering at the shorted girl in front of him, he sees her still patting him while standing on her toes. Covering his eyes instead, he groans in frustration.
"You're so... ugh! Why did she make you do this? Now I don't want to go back to Miyagi!" Oikawa exclaims exasperatedly before lowering his hand and grabbing Nagishima's hand to stop her from petting him even further. "Don't do that. Only couples should do it." He tells. Nagishima replies with, "But Aizawa-san told me to act like a mother so –"
"It's different when my mom does it! But when it's with you, it makes me feel like I have a sweet girlfriend!"
Nagishima gawks at what the male brunette tells her.
"Do you understand what I'm implying? If you want to keep doing it, then be my –"
Oikawa's statement gets cut off when he catches a glimpse of the train approaching. He groans and gives one last glance at Nagishima. "I'll call you when I get home. You better answer it." He says before handing the black-haired girl's phone to her then going to the train to enter it, leaving Nagishima confused and dazed before asking herself, "What just... happened?"
