Oikawa's popularity could be overwhelming for anyone.
He was the captain of Aoba Johsai, one of the best setters in the prefecture, and, much to the disappointment of countless guys, incredibly popular with girls. It wasn't unusual to see him surrounded by admirers after practice, receiving letters, gifts, or even spontaneous confessions in the hallways. On top of that came interviews, photos, and all the attention that seemed to follow him wherever he went.
Which was exactly why nobody would have imagined that Oikawa Tooru was in a relationship.
And even less with someone from his own team.
A libero.
You.
The relationship had remained a secret for months. Only the team and the coach knew about it, and honestly, it was a miracle Oikawa had managed to keep his mouth shut for that long. More than once, he'd almost blurted it out just to show off.
But today, all of that was about to change.
Oikawa was waiting outside the gym while absentmindedly scrolling through his phone. Practice had ended a few minutes ago, and several students were still walking around campus.
Then a girl approached him.
From the way she was gripping the edge of her uniform and avoiding direct eye contact, it was pretty obvious what was happening.
β "O-Oikawa-san..."
The girl took a deep breath before gathering her courage.
β "I like you."
Oikawa looked up from his phone. For a second, he seemed surprised, but then he let out a small, awkward smile.
β "Ah... thank you."
The girl's face immediately lit up.
Until he continued.
β "But I can't accept your feelings."
β "Huh?"
β "I'm already dating someone."
The silence was immediate.
The girl completely froze.
Oikawa, of course, decided to finish the situation in the most Oikawa way possible.
β "Actually, I'm dating your full name."
The poor girl looked like she'd completely stopped processing information.
β "W-WHAT?"
And just as Oikawa finished saying it...
Your figure appeared at the end of the path, calmly making your way toward the gym.
Perfect timing.
