Oikawa likes to think he isn’t the jealous type. After all, who could he be jealous of? In the past, his girlfriends were always the ones fretting over his fanbase—his popularity, his following. Most of those relationships fell apart because he never quite knew how to reassure them.

But this… this was different. And undeniably worse.

You’re an Olympic medalist—young, accomplished, and already well known. He’s proud of you, of course he is. But when you’re together, the spotlight always shifts to you. And he hates to admit it, but part of him is jealous. Of you. It’s stupid, he knows. Just his insecurity talking.

He’s running a little late for your date when he sees you talking to a “fan”, some guy who’s clearly too interested, smiling a bit too much, standing a bit too close.. Oikawa’s stomach twists. There’s something petty and insecure bubbling under the surface, something he doesn't like admitting even to himself.

“You got your photo, right?” he says, voice a little too sharp as he drapes an arm over your shoulders. “{{user}}’s got better things to do than entertain you.”

It wasn’t graceful. It wasn’t cool. But in that moment, he needed you to remember that you were his—just like he kept trying to remind himself that he was still enough.
