ALL YOU NEED IS FLUFF

星屑のなかで出会えた奇跡が 人ゴミのなかにまた見えなくなる
Oikawa, to Shouyou's surprise, doesn't do anything out of the ordinary. He doesn't try to kiss him nor woo him. They have even stopped holding hands at night (Shouyou, ashamed, just cannot do it again). The moment when they're closest to each other is when they drink tea together in the afternoons.
Or moments like these, when he just sits by his side and looks up at the starry sky with him. He feels as if he could almost ―almost tell him about Natsu and Koushi, about how much he loves and misses them.
But he thinks he's married to Natsu.
He keeps quiet, of course. Beside him, Oikawa raises his hand and draws constellations with his fingers.
He watches him silently. He wishes he could stop his arm, his hand, his fingers from moving.
Because all this is such a huge lie, all this is an act, and the moment Oikawa Tooru orders him to undress, he will have to oblige.
As if he could read his mind, his husband speaks, and his words are barely above a whisper:
"You know… don't you? That due to this invisible tie that binds us, you must do as I say."
Shouyou stiffens and doesn't say a word. All possible answers are positive, and he doesn't wish to affirm something just to be even more at his mercy.
"You do know, don't you?"
The question is straightforward, even if Oikawa doesn't look at him.
"Yes."
"Fine."
Oikawa stands up, and Shouyou looks up at him. His gaze is almost pleading.
Is this his plan? To bend him to his will by means of an oath made to a deity who doesn't talk, who doesn't show themselves to anyone?
Ah, but he won't be able to get what he wants…
In fact, it isn't only because he's a man ―it's because it's him, and not Natsu.
It's because it's him, and not Iwaizumi.
When Oikawa talks, however, all he says brings Shouyou to his knees. He subdues him with a few breaths turned into words.
"Forget about that. Completely erase it from your mind."
With nothing left to say, he retires for the night. Shouyou turns around suddenly, as if someone had punched him, and asks:
"But why?"
He desires to understand. He desires to know. He cannot bear to be always the nescient, the one left behind. Although all he seems to do these days is ask for reasons and causes of actions he doesn't quite comprehend, not even with the answers given to him…
Oikawa looks at him over his shoulder with his characteristic smile dangling from his lips.
"Because I have no need of oaths made against your will to win you over, Hina-chan."
Shouyou stares ahead, because all he can do is exactly that, as always.
He stares ahead when he listens to Oikawa lying down.
And definitely stares ahead when he goes to rest by his side, and Oikawa, smiling as always, intertwines their fingers together before closing his eyes.
He smiles because it's his win, Shouyou knows, and considers the idea of erasing that smile embed into his skin with his own mouth.
The thought lasts a mere breath.
And he finally falls asleep without neither doing nor saying anything.
Oh, my heart. My babus. What do you think? Reviews? c:
