opposites attract ~ a kageyama tobio fanfic

tobio and keiji pt.1

like i mentioned a while ago, onii-chan went to school far away, in Europe. so he wasn't ever around other than for some holidays and summer holidays.

the first time tobio met him was the summer of our first year in high school. onii-chan usually couldn't get more than a few days off for other breaks, but since summer holidays were longer and he worked extra hard during the school term, he got a full month to stay in Japan.

i usually never got to spend a lot of time with onii-chan, so when i heard he would be staying for so long, i was ecstatic. i tried to clear my schedule as much as possible so i could catch up with him and do all the new things i wanted to try with him.

of course, we stayed in touch when we were apart, and he knew about tobio too, but talking in person was so much more... real.

the moment we saw him at the airport, he latched himself onto me, yelling: "MIZU-CHANNNN!!!" and "MY LITTLE IMOTO, I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!!" at the top of his lungs.

i hugged him back just as tightly, but whacked him on the back when he began to cry a little. "you don't get to cry here! come on, this is already embarrassing..." when he ignored my words and just crushed me a little tighter, i gave up and buried my face in his shoulder in response. his smell was still familiar to me, and it was enough to make me cry too.

"oh, who am i kidding." i pulled away just slightly to look up at his face. "i missed you tons too, onii-chan."

he laughed and ruffled my hair the way i ruffle mika's. then he looked around around us. "where's everyone else? where's this 'tobio-chan' that i've heard way too much about?" i groaned and blushed, despite my boyfriend not actually being there. onii-chan took notice and poked my cheek, teasingly.

i brushed him off and grabbed one of his bags, beginning to walk away. "remember what 'kaasan and papa said? they're busy and mika has cello, so we're going home on the bus."

onii-chan groaned behind me and ran to catch up. "that's so annoying though... i have jet lag." he pulled on my hand. "c'mon, mizu-chan. let's pay for a taxi." i moved my hand away and turned around to frown a little. "that's expensive, 'nii-chan. you know better. it's not that long of a bus ride anyway." my older brother began to drag his feet like a child and whined a little.

i turned around and placed my hand on my hip, making this really turn into a mother child scenario. it was funny how it always came to something like this, considering the roles we actually had.

"i'll hold your hand, okay?" i went back to him and held out my hand. onii-chan grinned and took it, happily swinging it as we walked out of the terminal.

"so when will i get to meet this tobio-chan, mizu?" my brother asked when we were finally packed into the bus with all his luggage. i fidgeted with his violin case on my lap and looked away from him. "ah. well. he's away right now at his volleyball training camp, so maybe not until after that and my own music camp. yeah. so maybe a week or two?"

onii-chan sighed loudly and leaned back, stretching his legs. "awww, what a shame. here i was hoping to meet him today. after all," he turned to look at me with a sly look on his face. "i've really been looking forward to seeing this boy that caused my little sister to play such beautiful notes." he scrolled on his phone with the look still on his face.

i didn't need to look to know that he was pulling up the video of my performance in tokyo that first night. groaning, i held my face in my hands. "you can stop talking about that now, you know." the day he heard the recording that was posted online, he immediately called me, asking me who was it.

"who... was what?" i asked, confused.

"who were you thinking about. who were you playing that for? yesterday?" onii-chan said, an excitement in his voice i'd never heard before.

my face went red and i covered it, even though he couldn't see it. "what are you talking about."

"don't play dumb with me, mizu. that performance yesterday was pretty much a declaration of love. okay, maybe not love. but a very raw emotion." i sighed. of course i couldn't outrun his stupid analytics.

so i told him about tobio. and everything. and now, months later, he still wouldn't stop bothering me about it.

"i'm never gonna stop talking about that. i mean, it's not everyday someone like you feel something like love, right?" he gave me a little smirk, but then quickly turned into a sad look. "ah, but i can't believe my baby sister found love before i did." now it was his turn to hold his face in his hands in shame.

i kind of unsurely patted him on the back. "it's okay, 'nii-chan. your time will come."
