Previously...

And with that, he walked away. I looked at Tobio before smiling and pull him along with me. "You wanted to talk to Oikawa, right? Well, let's go annoy him and make him confess cuz he has no idea how to confess."

Now... 

TW: Talk of past breakups and heartbreak, crying {Gather your tissues}, talk of metaphorical mask

Third-person POV { I'm trying this out properly for the first time, sorry if it sucks}

Hajime burst into the Aoba Johsai dorms, scaring the shit out of Tooru, Makki and Mattsun, who had come back a few minutes earlier. "Shittykawa!" 

"...Yes, Iwaizumi? Did you do it or did you just burst in here to scare the shit out of me?" He said, his tone dark and still scaring Hajime and the others at the use of Hajime's full name and not the nickname. He raised his eyebrow when Hajime stayed silent, seeming nervous and was about to hit him Hajime style and scold him when he stopped, noticing Hajime's lips bruised and swollen and one of his hands holding something behind the door.

"Hajime Iwaizumi. What are you holding behind the door?" He asked, his voice even calmer and darker than earlier, his eyes lacking their usual playful glint. "Hajime rubbed the back of his neck, acting embarrassed and shy before his face morphed into a smirk and pulled Tobio from behind the door and hugged him. "Shitty Oikawa, would you really try and hit me in front of my boyfriend?" He retorted, his eyes now holding the same playful glint often seen in Tooru's eyes.

Tooru, Makki and Mattsun's faces' turned into one of shock and absolute delight, their eyes now sparkling as the newly-formed couple stood in front of them. "Hell yes, I would!"Tooru shrieked before pulling Tobio away from Hajime, which displeased the younger setter to an extent and slapped Hajime's back. 

"Iwa-chan you sly bastard! I expect full details!" Tooru whined while still slapping Hajime's back. "I will! I'll tell you all about it! If you confess." Tooru turned bright red. Everyone else in the room starts laughing because they had never seen Tooru so flustered. "I-I don't-"Sigh " I don't know how to confess Iwa-chan. I have never confessed or even liked anyone first! All my relationships have been because of the other person confessed to me! I just accepted cuz I didn't wanna be rude! And they dumped me because of my passion for volleyball right after I caught feelings. You know this! I-I just don't wanna get hurt again..." 

Everyone stayed silent in shock at the sudden eruption of tears from Tooru's eyes. No matter how much he whined, he was always joking, smiling. Did he keep all of this in for so long? His first relationship was in the first year of middle school and lasted a month, everyone could see he had fallen fast and hard but didn't seem bothered when he was dumped. Was that an act too? That he was fine with getting dumped? Over and over again? {This is a shoutout to all the heathers that have been played by people who wanted them first.}

Tobio walked over to Tooru and wrapped him in a tight hug, shocking everyone in the room including himself. "Oikawa-san. I may hate you with every inch of my body, but I'm dating your best friend and you're crushing on mine. But right now I'm going to make sure you ask out my best friend, my brother, out and not mess it up. Because as I said earlier, I know him better than he thinks I do. He has been in love with you since the first time he saw you. I could see it on his face, just like I could see it on yours."

Everyone recoils in shock at Tobio's words. No one had ever contemplated just how much Tobio cared for Shoyo and Akari. Tooru sniffles and nods, his head buried in Tobio's neck as the younger comforts him...Untillllll Hajime got jealous of the way his best friend was being hugged by his boyfriend.
