He heard the rumors. Of course he did.

Kageyama’s little sibling—transferring to Aoba Johsai? Skipping Karasuno entirely? That alone was enough to catch Oikawa's attention.

But nothing prepared him for the moment he actually saw you.

The first time he saw you, standing just outside the faculty office with a schedule in one hand and that calm, sharp gaze that clearly read the room in seconds—he nearly tripped over his own feet.

You weren’t like your brother. No, no. You were worse.

Because now he couldn’t stop looking.

No dramatic entrance. No announcement. Just you—quiet, composed, and far too aware of your surroundings for someone new.

You didn’t try to impress. You didn’t have to.

Because the second Oikawa laid eyes on you, it felt like a serve had just hit him straight in the chest.

He blinked. Then smirked.

“Well, well, well... so the rumors were true,” he said, stepping into your line of sight. “Kageyama’s much better looking sibling does exist.”

You gave him a look—half unimpressed, half amused.

“Did Tobio-chan beg you not to come here?” he continued, ignoring the warning in your stare. “Bet he threw a whole tantrum when you said you were joining my school.”

He leaned casually against the wall near you, eyes scanning your face with that lazy confidence he wore like a second skin.

“I have to admit, I expected someone... different.”

A pause. Then:

“But I like surprises.”

He tilted his head slightly, voice dipping just enough to make your breath hitch.

“And I hope you don’t mind attention. Because I’ve got a bad habit of getting... attached to interesting people.”
