Chapter Text
When the two of you agreed on meeting at the rooftop 2 times every week and talk about some of things that interests you and Yumi.
Oikawa opens his mouth, and asks the most straightforward question by asking about Yumi’s type, but you should've expected it.
While trying to think about Yumi's type, you've realized how Yumi has never really talked to you about ‘love’. As you were trying to figure out what Yumi's ‘type’ is, Oikawa looked at you confusingly.
“Has she even liked someone before? I don't think I've seen her flustered over a guy.” He lets out a small laugh. You hesitantly nod and apologize for not being able to answer his question.
“It's fine, I kind of assumed that.” He scratches the back of his neck. “Well, what about her favourite colour? Sorry I asked a hard question first.”
You shook your head and told him how it was fine, and answered his question. Her favourite colour was purple, any shade of it. She told you how it reminded her of lavenders, and that it was probably the ‘best’ colour ever.
Oikawa listened to your words as you sounded it out in a sincere way. “You both.. Are really close with each other huh.” You look at Oikawa.
“I mean, I always see you two hanging out and not letting any guards down at all. Honestly I feel pretty envious of your friendship with her. Even if she didn't want to be in a relationship with me, I'd still want to be friends with her..”
He looks down out of embarrassment as he realizes how much he's talked without letting you say a single word. “SORRY! DID I SAY TOO MUCH HAHAHAHA WOWWW!!! Can you believe that?? Me? being all sorrowful over some girl?? That's so—just so lame..!”
He laughs to cover up his embarrassing act, while you just smiled at him. When looked back at you he let out a big sigh and apologized. “Sorry.. Um, so, yeah, you guys seem really close.”
You explain to him how you've been friends with her since the 1st year of middle school. “Middle school? That's nice, which school did you guys go to?” You told him it was Kitagawa Daiichi, and he responded by letting his mouth open slightly.
“.... Seriously?..”
The two of you stood in silence for a bit before you awkwardly laughed and confirmed for the 2nd time, then cringing to yourself internally because you thought you were gonna fumble an absolute beauty because of your stupidity.
Thankfully, Oikawa shifted the conversation topic and asked what class you guys were in, still a bit shocked on how both him and Iwaizumi didn't meet you two once. You told him Yumi was actually friends with Iwaizumi before, but started apart drift since the start of high school, the two only started getting closer recently.
Oikawa was now baffled. To think that his childhood friend kept the most gorgeous and handsome girl (Yumi) away from him felt like his entire world was crushed down to a small little splat on the floor (sarcasm).
Okay, maybe he's being a little too dramatic. But the thought of being able to meet Yumi earlier felt nice to him, he wanted to at least know more about her from before, but given from the way he used to act back then.
“Well.. Then what about y-” before he could finish his sentence the bell rang again, signaling for students to return back to their classrooms. Oikawa sighs out loud before looking at you.
“Sorry, I guess that's the end of our conversation.” He scratches the back of his neck. “Ah! Give me a minute.” He took out a piece of paper from his pocket and a pen, does this guy carry stationary items anywhere? He's a volleyball player. Why in the world is he carrying a pen and a paper?
He writes something down before handing it to you. “My number. Just in case we need to talk like this again.” He waves a quick goodbye to you before rushing down the stairs. As you stand there while watching go, you look at the number before stuffing it in your shirt pocket, then reminding yourself to go back to class too.
—
The school bell rings yet again and all the students rush out of their classroom. While you were packing your bag Iwaizumi tells you he'll go home first while waving goodbye. You wave back at him before going back to packing your bags.
Out of nowhere, Yumi hugs you from behind and tells you she'll be going home earlier too. She apologized to you while you shook your head and tell her to go, since it seemed like she was in a rush. Yumi smiles gleefully at you before hugging you (tightly) again and thanking you over and over.
You laugh quietly before waving bye at her. When you finally finished packing your bag there were still a few students hanging around the classroom, then you felt a tap on the shoulder. You looked behind and saw Oikawa waving at you.
“What took you so long? I've been waiting outside the class, you know. I even asked Iwa and Yumi about you.” you apologize for the long wait and told him to wait outside, he furrows his eyebrows and you tell him you'll catch up in a second.
“Fine. But if you're late again I'll go home on my own.” He walks out of the classroom to wait for you. You finally finished packing and walked outside to see Oikawa fiddling with something in his hand.
You called out his name and he was a little startled, before sighing in relief and asked if you were ready. You asked ready for what, to which he replied the after school meeting. You were lost.
You told him he never mentioned anything about an after school meeting, and he replied yes he did. He pulled out his phone and showed you the text message he sent to you. You looked at the message in sorry as Oikawa continued to talk. Blabbering about how he wishes to walk home with Yumi.
You asked him how he got your phone number. He smiled at you and told you to ‘not worry about it’ and that ‘he has his ways’. Of course by natural instinct, you slowly back away from him as he looked at you in confusion, before realizing he sounded like a total creep.
He quickly went up to you and apologized, then explained how he got the number from Iwaizumi and that he was just saying that to fuck around with you. You didn't believe him one bit, and continued to back away from him. He told you he's sorry and that he won't joke like that again.
You forgave him (hesitantly) and asked him what he meant by ‘after school meeting’.
“Well.. I wanted you to meet me after school and talk about, you know, Yumi.” He looks around the place while smiling awkwardly, trying to cover up his embarrassment.
“I was hoping for you to agree, but if you don't want to do it now that's fine. I'll wait.” you had a mix of emotions wash over you as you listened to Oikawa's words. If you had agreed with his offer, you would be spending more time with Oikawa! But also listening to him talk about Yumi for hours.
But at the same time Yumi's your best friend. Sure she says she hates Oikawa, yet she does this thing where she would just spout insults at the person she likes. It's frustrating!!.. But you like him. You know better than anyone how butthurt you'd be if you listened to him speak about your friend in the most love sick way possible.
That's fine though. It's fine. If it means you'll be helping two people out at once, then everything you'll be doing won't be in vain. That wouldn't make you selfish, right? Sure it won't.
You agree and told him to meet you at a cafe somewhere at 2 pm. “Alright then! See you there~!” You stop him for a minute and asked him why he wasn't at volleyball practice.
“Oh. Well, the entire gym is being cleaned this week, again, so we kinda have the entire week off haha~!” He says in a cheerful voice before shaking your hand and walking away. You let him go and sigh to yourself.
Was this supposed to happen?
