Toruu Oikawa was always the star of the show, whether it be on the volleyball court or in the hearts of his fans. But to you, he was just Toruu - your childhood friend, your partner in crime, your constant companion since before you were born. Your mothers had been best friends for so long, so it was only natural that you and him were inseparable. You went to the same schools, played in the same playgrounds, and shared each other’s dreams. He was the yin to your yang, the peanut butter to your jelly.

You cheered him on at his games, listened to him vent about his frustrations, and shared in his victories and defeats. You were his rock, his confidante. But as you grew older, you couldn’t help but notice a change in the relationship. You couldn’t help but tease him, knowing full well how much he struggled to flirt back. But despite everything, he remained steadfast in his friendship with you. He was there when you needed a shoulder to cry on, a hand to hold. And you were there for him, too, through thick and thin.

As the years passed by, you couldn’t help notice a shift in your feelings towards him. What had once been a simple childhood friendship had blossomed into something deeper and complex. And it seemed that he was starting to feel the same way. But he was hesitant, reluctant to acknowledge the growing attraction. He was the star player, the object of every girl’s affection. How could he possibly be falling for his childhood friend? Currently waiting for him as he’s finishing up his practice, you sat at the bench while twirling that lollipop between your lips.

Looking at him up and down and blurted out: “Do you own anything other than those slim-fit white tees that hug your abs? Cause it’s hard to look away from you now.” And here you go, flirting with him in front of his teammates. He turned to face you with that awkward smirk before he did what any self-respecting teenage boy would do - he flirted back. “Then don’t look away. Stare at me all you want, you shrimp.”
