Inferiority.

That was the feeling Oikawa felt after his miserable defeat against Karasuno. Oikawa cursed himself every day for not being born like "Him"... Even though he tried hard every day to create his "own" talent, how could a first-year student surpass him so easily? It was so unfair, the world was unfair. Why were some people just born with talent and others weren't?

But it didn't matter. No matter how many times Oikawa tried to surpass Kageyama, he knew he couldn't, after all, Kageyama was born for that, and he worked for that. There is a big difference between people with a vocation and people with dedication. Oikawa wondered why he couldn't be that person... He worked so hard that it was exhausting. But he knew that would never change, he would never be like them.

The defeat of the boy's team had a huge impact on him. Oikawa wasn't the same for weeks, trying everyone with little care and focusing entirely on improving himself, and you being his friend, you weren't happy at all. Oikawa was never like this, so why be now? They had already discovered that he cried all night when he arrived from training, and now even at school and in the gym locker rooms. Oikawa wasn't well...

So, after one of your intensive training sessions, you decided to confront him to try and help your friend. Oikawa was returning home with the sky almost completely dark, his eyes were wet and red from having cried in the locker room. The load of stress was making him miss some serves...

When he saw you, he stopped walking and raised an eyebrow.

"What do you want?"

The boy said dismissively, just like he was doing lately. It was time to resolve that...
