Lost Memories. (OikawaXreader)

Middle School

The day had progressed like Oikawa offered.
The two of you took it easy and watched movies all day. He'd play the ones that were your favourite in hopes that something would trigger. But it was no good.

Iwaizumi had come over around dinner time, bringing dinner with him and greeting you in a calm manner.

"Oikawa told me that we have been friends since middle school? Can you tell me about it?" You said to Iwaizumi who looked like he was about to break any minute.

The first thing that struck Iwaizumi was the use of Oikawa's last name. He hasn't heard you call him that in a very long time, and to now hear you use it with such a causal manner, it made him feel uneasy.

"Well..I guess I'll start with the first day of middle school." Iwaizumi spoke in a slow paced tone.

****

"My name is L/n Y/n."

"My name is Iwaizumi Hajime."

"And I'm Oikawa Toru! Please to meet you all! I hope we can all be friends!" He said with a wink.

"Why do I have a feeling that this guy is a bit of a people pleaser?" you whispered to your seat mate which happened to be Iwaizumi.

"You're actually not wrong, he is, and it's quite annoying."

"You know him?"

"We grew up in the same neighbourhood...Iwaizumi Hajime by the way."

You smiled to the spikes haired boy next to you. "L/n Y/n."

"Nice to meet you L/n."

(Lunchtime)

"Hey L/n-san, come eat with us!" Iwaizumi asked as he hovered over your desk and pointed to the door where Oikawa was standing.

"Uh yeah sure!" You agreed and grabbed your bento box to follow the two boys.

"Iwa-chan! I can't wait for the tryouts today!"

"Tryouts?" You asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Volleyball." Iwaizumi answered.

"You two play?"

"Yep! And I'm gonna be known as an amazing player one day! I wanna make it so my opponents fear me one day!"

"You make yourself out to some amazing guy...stop it." Iwaizumi rolled his eyes and he nudged your shoulder.

Oikawa eyed his best friend but then his attention went to you.
"L/n right?"

"Yep."

"Don't flirt with her Oikawa."

"I was not! Shame on you to assume that I would Iwa-chan!"

"Iwa-chan? Can I call you Iwa?" You asked the future ace.

"Sure." He agreed.

"Hey! I was talking!" Oikawa interrupted.

"Sorry I thought you were finished." You said in a sarcastic tone make Iwaizumi chuckle.

"Nah he never shuts up."

"I kinda got that when he winked at the teacher during introductions this morning."

"I think we'll get long just fine."

"I don't! Hey! Hello!" Oikawa said starting to wave his hands.

"Say L/n? Do you play volleyball?" Iwaizumi asked, ignoring his friend.

"No, but I've watched games on the tv and it looks pretty cool."

"You should come to tryouts and watch us!" Oikawa chimed in, throwing an arm around your shoulders.

You gave him a disgusted look, throwing his arm off of you. "Yeah, don't do that."

"So mean L/n-chan!"

You rolled your eyes. "Can we eat now?"

"Yes! Let's go sit down under that tree!"

"Right, because mr all so confident doesn't wanna get a sunburn on his perfect skin?"

"Ha, yep, I think we'll get along just fine." Iwaizumi smiled.

****

"I know it wasn't much but that was the first day to a very long and pretty cool friendship." Iwaizumi finished with a small smile to you.

"Sounds like we bickered quite a bit.."

Iwaizumi chuckled. "Actually yeah, It was kinda our thing I guess you could say."

"Wow.." You said as you stood up from your seat and started to walk around the apartment again.
"And this picture here? This was us yeah?"

The two men looked to where you were standing.

"That picture was taken on our last year of middle school. I had just won best-"

"Best setter award." You said cutting him off.

Oikawa jumped from the couch. "Wait you remember that?"

You shook your head. "No sorry, just reading what the award said in your hands..but it's a nice picture."

Oikawa felt his heart shatter for the second time today, except Iwaizumi was there to see it.
Iwaizumi wasn't gonna lie, he was also excited to hear that maybe a memory had unconsciously came to mind, but when it wasn't, he also wanted to fall apart.

"Do you have more pictures?" You asked Oikawa who was standing behind you.

His eyes flickered up to yours. "Yeah actually, there's a couple of albums filled..You..Kinda liked to take pictures for memories..." Oikawa trailed off as he remembered something.
"You once said that you wanted to capture every moment because you didn't know when they might of come to use..."

Iwaizumi felt a ping in his heart as he remembered that same memory from back when you three where kids.

****

"Look! My mom got me a camera!" You said happily as you skipped towards the two boys tossing a volleyball back and forth to each other.

"A camera? What do you need a camera for?" Iwaizumi asked.

"To take cute pictures of me of course!" Oikawa said as he caught the ball in his hands.

"In your dreams Oikawa..." You said as you went to show the camera closer to Iwaizumi.
Holding it up to his face.
"Smile!"

"Hey no fair! Iwa-chan gets to be in the first photo!!" Oikawa pouted.

You sighed. "Ugh fine, Here pose!"

Oikawa smiled as he held the volleyball in his hand and posed in a ridiculous way.

"L/n? Why did you really get a camera?" Iwaizumi asked.

You smiled to him and then looked back down at the camera.
"Well...I wanna capture every good memory, to keep it forever...Well because you never know when you might need it. Some day there might be a time when you grow old and start to forget things..So I shall put together a bunch of albums and collect all the good memories and keep them forever! So when I do end up losing my memories, I can look back to these pictures and smile as I relieve the day that was captured!"
