Oikawa stood frozen. He didn't know what to do, the only thing he knows is that his former girlfriend was in front of his condominium with a flirtatious smile on her face.
"Tooru, let's start dating each other again." She held his hands and eyed him with a look of sincerity. Too bad, Oikawa knew better than to trust those eyes. "I told you before, quit stalking me. I already like someone else." The male brunette lied as he scoffed at the desperate girl. Women like this are hard to talk to and hard to break up with. It isn't because they're worthy or anything, it's because they wouldn't let him. Honestly, Oikawa never should've dated Amamiya Yuri.
"Who's that girl you like? I'm sure I'm better than her!" Amamiya spoke conceitedly as she pushed her hair behind her ear. Oikawa pulls his hands away and groans. "How desperate do you have to be? I hate women like you so quit it out and fix yourself first. Do you have no respect for yourself?" the male brunette told her straight to the point.
Amamiya then pulled the brunette and proceeded to kiss him deeply.
That was what happened a while ago.
What's happening now is something he didn't expect. What Oikawa wanted was to rest for a while in the condominium that his mother gave him and try to relax for a bit but the day decided to be a pain in the ass and put him in a situation where he has to think about what he'll do next.
Taking a deep breath, the male brunette runs to Nagishima and pulls her by the wrist to stop her from going away. "Let's talk inside. Give me a time to explain." He pleaded before tugging Nagishima to follow him. To his surprise, the female doesn't budge at all and kept walking behind him.
With the awkward situation, the two entered the room. No one said a word until Nagishima starts sniffing. She wipes her eyes and tried to act tough so she wouldn't feel bad for herself any more.
"Is this where you bed girls? How many did you do already? Fifty? Fifty plus? A hundred? Tell me so I can go leave you immediately." The black-haired female said as she curled her palm into a ball. "How can you tell me that some men are wolves? You should've just went straight to the point and told me that you want to bed various women! Why would you lie? Why do you need to lie?!" she ranted out as her eyes began to tear up.
"Listen..." the brunette paused, unsure of what he'll say next. "I'm a man and I have things to satisfy. In fact, Kuroo and Ushiwaka probably did this at some point. I'll bet my life that they don't have their v-card anymore, the same as me!" He reasoned out.
"Fuck that reason!" Nagishima cursed out loud, unable to hold herself back. When Oikawa hears this, he knew that he did something utterly horrible.
With a huff, Nagishima says, "It's not about losing your virginity, I have no problem with that because I know the three of you are a man. The problem is, how could you do it more than most men? You're a man? You're using that as an excuse? Well, look at your father or my cousin, see if they go with various girls every night just because of their gender!" she exclaimed as she started drowning in her tears. Her eyes were narrowed at how hard she's tearing up and her breathing became irregular because of her sobs.
"They don't, don't they? It's because they have enough decency to know that they shouldn't do it every time. If only you knew that, then things would've been like this." Nagishima said as she took another sniff.
"Truth is... I don't have any rights to get angry but how can I not? I've been fooled so why should I hold myself back?" she muttered sadly as she wiped her eyes once again. "I just don't know why you have to lie? It doesn't make sense. It really doesn't." she uttered before covering her face and crouching down.
Oikawa clenched his fist and tried to draw near the younger girl but he stopped himself when he sees her shake hard because of her sobs. He feels his stomach twist in an unpleasant way, knowing that he did something unforgivable. To lie to someone and lead them on, he wished that he didn't make a decision as stupid as that.
"My cousin... he's been protecting me all the times... to make sure that I don't cry again yet I... can't even safe myself from tearing up." She said as she sobbed in between her words. She then gives a strained laugh before lowering her hands and gazing at the older male. "I feel like I've let him down. I feel so bad for myself. I've been played with yet I didn't even notice. Do you know how low and pathetic I think of myself now? You've completely shrank my value by toying with me." She informed before coughing at how she's crying.
She stands up weakly, knees shivering, and weeps wretchedly as she fixed her clothes and hair. She grabs her handkerchief from her pocket and wipes her face clean. She then hiccupped as she inhaled deeply.
The male brunette watched Nagishima with silence. His eyes was furrowed as he bit his tongue to make sure that he doesn't speak anymore. He can't say something, he knows he's wrong so he can't defend himself. Deep down, he knew that he had it coming.
"Don't try to look at me like you care so much or pinch my cheeks then smiling contently afterwards or even slinging your arm over my shoulders like we're close. Don't even try to talk to me casually anymore. If you do, I'll seriously break all of your bones. I'm just preventing myself from doing it right now but if you approach me, I'll really let my anger out and beat you up." Nagishima said as she held the strap of her bag. She kept hiccupping as she took a breath every second. She then turns around to walk away.
"Don't go." The brunette mumbled weakly. "I'll stop what I'm doing so keep close to me... please." He begged as he stopped himself from crying.
Nagishima turned to face him and with a frown, she said "What's wrong with you? Do you like me? Why would you stop yourself just for me? You're a man, right? Keep doing what you love without any restraints and leave me be. I don't know want to stay close to man who lies so don't beg me to stay, I'm not in any position to listen to your pleas."
With that last statement, Nagishima left the room and slammed the door behind her. Oikawa took a second to register what the younger girl said and once he did, he felt himself tear up. He gave a pathetic chuckle at his situation. "I did something... bad." He muttered before sitting on his couch and hugging a pillow to cover his face.
Meanwhile, Nagishima walked with a blurry vision. She grabbed her phone and dialed Aizawa's number and when the red-haired lady picks up, she inhaled deeply before speaking.
"I'm not angry at you. I don't know the whole story so just text it to me later. Once you've done that, don't talk to me for a while. I need some time to think." She informed as she waited for Aizawa to speak.
"Okay, I'll do that..." Aizawa paused. "Rino, I'm sorry... I'm really, really sorry."
Nagishima felt herself sniffle again so she ends the call without saying anything back and turns it off. She then stops when she sees that her father's workplace was in front of the condominium. Hesitating about going inside KT Entertainment, Nagishima decided to not go inside so her father wouldn't worry about her and keep his attention on his job. After all, she knew that her father liked over-working so why would she go there?
The evening came fast.
Hayato and Yuutarou sat down the couch while their father looked at Kuroo.
"Why is my daughter crying?" Nagishima's father, Yusuke, interrogated his nephew with a cold glare. Kuroo looked down and took a deep inhale before explaining. "Rino was played by someone."
The twin brothers both made a different reaction. Hayato slammed the table while Yuutarou kicked the table in front of him. Their father kept his calm before standing up. "Who is he?" he asked sternly. The twin brothers looked at Kuroo with anticipation before motioning him to speak. Kuroo hesitated to say his roommate's name since the three male in front of him might do something bad if they knew who made his cousin cry.
"Uh... well... Oi... kawa...Too...ru." he uttered slowly to make it less understandable. "That person better be at our room when I come back. He'll really get it." Kuroo thought to himself before standing up. "It's time for me to leave! Our room are checked every night so I need to go!" The black-haired male said in a hurry. He waves at the three males and runs away to avoid getting questioned. He leaves the house and closed the gate behind him. He then turns around to check his cousin's window and sees that Kenma was looking down while Saikane gestured an okay sign.
Saikane mouthed that she'd take care of the black-haired female before motioning him to leave. Kenma waves bye as indifferent as ever. Kuro smiled softly at them before waving bye and leaving. He doesn't move for a while and hoped that his cousin was fine. When he checks his watch, he clicks his tongue and runs to his dorm.
When he arrived, Kuroo quickly went behind the dorm. His room was on the side of the building so there was a ladder that was placed there. In Kuroo's eyes, it was placed there so he can scale the building and sneak in and out of his room without being caught. Smirking slyly, the black-haired male jumped and grabbed the ladder before pushing himself up. Once he successfully did so, he starts climbing the ladder as quietly as possible. In the corner of his eyes, he sees the lights in the rooms get switched off and knowing the place, Kuroo knew that the inspector of the room was close.
He scaled in a hurry, almost falling in the process. He can see his room's window and smiled as he saw that its light was still turned on.
"Have to go there fast. The inspector would kill me if he finds me gone again." He muttered under his breath, recalling the times when the inspector would make him clean the whole building because he sneaked out late at night.
Kuroo was finally beside his window when he sees the light of the room next to his switch off. He gasps and knocks on the window desperately and when it opens, Kuroo was faced to face with Oikawa.
The two gaped at each other before Oikawa gulps and looks behind him. Ushijima motions him to go to bed since the inspector is approaching so with panic, Oikawa pulls Kuro inside and the two dives in the brunette's bed as Ushijima closed the light before rushing to go to his bed.
"Ah shit! I didn't close the window." Kuroo mumbled making Oikawa and Ushijima groan. Oikawa stands up and hurried to close the window when he hears someone trying to open the door. Rushing to his bed, Oikawa laid beside Kuroo and the two pulled the covers over them before pretending to sleep. Then, the door opened and the light outside entered the dim room.
Kuroo pretended to snore while pushing Oikawa's face away, much to the brunette's dismay. Then the male brunette "accidentally" kicks Kuroo in the stomach before snoring loudly.
The inspector watched as the two males "slept" with a weird position. "What's wrong with these guys? Why are they sleeping in the same bed?" the inspector mumbled under his breath before checking if Ushijima was in the room.
As the inspector scanned the room for anything dangerous, the two male in the same bed kept pushing each other when suddenly, Kuroo elbowed Oikawa's nose, making the brunette groan loudly. The inspector turned around to check the two and found them sleeping peacefully so he goes back to inspecting the room. Oikawa gritted his teeth before stretching his arms to shove Kuroo off the bed, earning him a kick in the stomach.
The inspector found nothing dangerous so he goes out and checks the two male sleeping on the same bed. He sighs as he shook his head, baffled by the position they're in. With Oikawa's hands on Kuroo's face and the black-haired male's foot on the brunette's stomach, the inspector felt bad for the two. They'll wake up with their bodies aching if they slept in that position. Taking one last glance at the room, the inspector leaves.
When the inspector closed the door behind him, the three male kept quiet for a minute before Kuroo stands up and grabs Oikawa's collar whereas Oikawa glared at the black-haired male.
"You asshole, do you really want to get beaten up? How dare you play with my cousin?" Kuroo spitted out venomously as he tightened his hold on the brunette's collar. Ushijima sat on his bed and watched his two roommate. He decided not to stop them since what the brunette did was actually wrong.
"Do you know what she's been through? Do you?" Kuroo scoffed before pushing Oikawa away from him, the brunette not responding to his question. "I've done all I can to not make my cousin feel pain again. I didn't tell her to learn taekwondo and be strong just so she can cry because of a man like you, you worthle –" Kuroo couldn't finish his sentence. He gazed at his roommate and noticed his pained expression. He clicks his tongue and sighs in frustration.
"Why did you do that? I pegged you as someone who flirts all day but to think that you played with someone's feeling... isn't that too low?" Kuroo questioned as he sat on the floor. He pushes his hair away and massaged his temples. In all people that Oikawa has to be insensitive of, he chose the black-haired male's cousin.
Ushijima eyed his two roommates before clearing his throat. "Let's sleep for today." He suggested before pulling his covers until he hears someone weep so he looks to the direction of the sound and finds Oikawa with tears rushing down his eyes. Gulping at the unexpected reaction of the male brunette, Ushijima peers at Kuroo and sees him gaping at Oikawa as well.
Biting his lips in an attempt to not sob anymore, Oikawa sniffed and hiccupped as he tried to sort his words. Inhaling deeply, Oikawa said, "I was..." he gave an unintentional sniff before hiccupping. He lets himself sob and chose not to say anything. The two males across his bed eyed him with gloominess as they looked down. Seeing the brunette cry, it didn't really feel awarding at all. It felt genuine and a sense of relief washed over them when they witnessed the usual charming male sob because of his mistake, knowing that he regrets what he did.
Kuroo closed his eyes and wondered if he really should get angry at his roommate. Ushijima kept his gaze away from the two and laid down on his bed as he pulled the covers over him. Oikawa kept crying as he regretted his actions.
The three male avoided each other's eyes and kept quiet. Despite the brunette crying, the room didn't feel suffocating or off-putting at all. If Kuroo would describe it, he'd say that it was similar to a brother breaking down in front of you. It felt relieving seeing Oikawa show who he actually is. In a way, Kuroo feels the same feelings he experienced when he sees Nagishima, Kenma, or Saikane cries. This made the black-haired male think, just how close did he get with his roommates?

Thanks for reading and hope that you read the next chapter!
