EAT ME, OIKAWA ᝰ t. oikawa

ONE. TOORU

━━━━┅━━━┅━━━━

oikawa tooru's thumb hovered over the green send button on his phone, ready to send the resignation message to his volleyball coach.

he was a fool to believe he could beat shiratorizawa. he's trained so hard for so long, and now, given the fact that he was tired of doing his best and still losing, he made a decision- he would no longer compete at spring nationals.it was hard, and rather impossible to win against shiratorizawa.

he'll quit the team, and just focus on his academics until the end of the school year. however, just as he was about to press the button, his phone dinged. a notification popped up signifying a new message.

he'd exited the message he was about to send to his coach and instead, clicked on the unread new message.

xxxx-xxx-xxxx
heya tooru

oikawa's brows furrowed at the unknown number. he'd never been on a first-name basis with other people outside of his close-knit friends and family.

oikawa
who is this?

xxxx-xxx-xxxx
doesn't matter

i just want to say something very important to you

oikawa tooru's brows knitted together in confusion, then relaxed soon after he realized that this might be a fangirl who caught sight of his phone number that mattsukawa had been waving around in the sendai city stadium where they'd just finished- and horribly lost- their last inter-high as an attempt to bring his captain's spirits up.

oikawa
oh, what is it?

a small smirk tugged at the corners of his lips after a whole minute of self-esteem boosting from the assumption that this was yet again another fangirl who sought after his heart.

he wasn't a playboy- he's only ever had one girlfriend in his lifetime, and that didn't even count because allison, the girl, only asked him to date her so her parents wouldn't find out about her homosexuality. and oikawa tooru, being the gentleman that he is, dated the girl long enough until she was fully ready to come out to her parents as a lesbian- when she did, the non-existent relationship contract was terminated, and they were both free. not that there was a relationship to begin with. they're good friends, but the boyfriend-girlfriend thing was extremely platonic.

xxxx-xxx-xxxx
you should have come to shiratorizawa

and just like that, his self-esteem deflated as soon as it inflated. tooru's heart dropped to his stomach. he'd just gone home from getting his ass handed to him by the private school, and whoever this unknown number was, was going to rub it in his face?

he only thought of one person who would do such thing.

oikawa
ushijima?

xxxx-xxx-xxxx
close, but nice try

his brows furrowed before another message popped up, making him more frustrated than the actual loss earlier.

xxxx-xxx-xxxx
heh, nice try at
inter-high too 🤭

whoever this person was, was seriously getting on his nerves. he frustratedly ran a hand through his brown locks and sighed.

oikawa
if you have nothing
good to say, please
just stop texting me

a few minutes later, his phone dinged again. ready to press the red block button, he opened his phone, only to be met with the most heartwarming message he's gotten all day.

xxxx-xxx-xxxx
u may not have won the
tournament but u surely
won my heart

you did really well today
& i hope to see u on the
court again

gn tooru.

and right then and there, oikawa tooru's mood did a complete 180°. he deleted his resignation message to his coach as a small grin played on his lips. the thought of someone appreciating him made oikawa's cheeks flame and his heart rate increase.

suddenly, winning spring nationals didn't sound so hard anymore.
