This isn't Tobio's day. He didn't do anything, though. He's sure, he checked. No need to be so mean.
Hinata has been staring at him for ten solid seconds, Tsukishima is doing the same, Yachi squealed and fell over. He doesn't know what, but maybe he did do something bad.
“Tobio-chan, I kind of asked you to get into this car about five minute ago and you still haven't moved ? I don't have all day, ok, just open this door before I change my mind and leave you here.”
Tobio wants to be left here. Hinata started blabbering questions that Tobio can't answer, and it's going too fast for him now. He's just as lost as everyone, ok ? Tobio doesn't know why Oikawa decided to pay him a visit in the middle of the Monday practice session.
It's true that they've been talking lately, a lot, and it's a surprise, but a good one – a great one, a surprise that makes the tip of his ears glow red whenever he hears the soft ping of a message coming in. Even though Oikawa never did send all the texts he swore he'd send, but Tobio figures that he can't complain when he's getting so much already and – he's overthinking again, isn't he. Hinata taught him that it usually didn't lead to the smartest decisions – try asking someone, right. Someone responsible, like, the captain of the team. Right. Captain.
Yamaguchi is now out of the gym too, and the first years are whispering questions very very loudly – “Captain Yamaguchi, why is someone talking to Kageyama ? He shouldn't get into the car, this guy looks weird” – yes, Oikawa fucking does. No, no, breathe, calm down.
Oikawa also looks annoyed, which is bad, so Tobio decides getting in the car can't hurt after all. Oikawa looks pleased, then – that's good, that's – not his fault if Tobio has this response ingrained into him but he's happy he at least managed to do one thing right. Oikawa so rarely smiles at him he must have done something right.
“Wow, I thought you'd never get in. I already talked to your captain, it's ok if I borrow you for today. Buckle up ! What took you so long anyway ?”
Oikawa is rambling – so it's safer not to answer. There are pictures on the control panel. Most are of Oikawa – Tobio figures this much wouldn't change, even with him in university. Some are of his team. Former team. They all look happy, a bit annoyed that Oikawa is taking pictures, maybe. It reminds Tobio of his own team – he's doing something right, then, team bonding and everything. That's a relief. Oikawa was always here to help him, after all, even when he thought he didn't.
Some pictures, though, aren't really what Tobio expected to find. There is Nishinoya on several of them (and Oikawa, but let's not focus on this when Tobio is just next to him while Oikawa is driving him somewhere). Nishinoya in his pyjamas (with Oikawa in an alien onesie that makes look way too good for the ugly piece of clothing it is), with nail polish (and Oikawa holding the brush, a wide pleased grin on his face), with whiskers (Oikawa with whiskers too – Tobio doesn't know how to feel about this). Lots of couple pictures. There is even a heart doodled on the gear lever.
“This car is gay.”
“And you just got in ! Seriously, what is my life, Tobio-chan.”
