Missing You (Tooru Oikawa)

Note: Post-Time Skip Oikawa Tooru, contains (mild) spoilers.

"Please, just wait for me in the car. I'll see you in the parking lot of the airport, ________. Don't be stubborn about this, you know the reason why. I'll see you in a bit. Love you, cutie!"

It's past midnight and you've read the last chat message of your boyfriend from the umpteenth time. It has been 30 minutes since you arrived at the parking lot of Narita International Airport in Tokyo, and you've been fighting yourself to not barge inside the airport to meet Tooru Oikawa personally.

Oikawa doesn't want you waiting for him inside because of the fans and reporters surging at them when their team comes out of the terminal. It doesn't matter whatever the time is, it was chaotic— always is. There were instances that people got hurt just to get close to them and it was one of Oikawa's greatest fears that it'll happen to you too.

It has been over two years since he left Japan to pursue his volleyball career in another country. Now, he's coming back to play against Japan's team. Many people are anticipating the face-off between Argentina and Japan since both teams have incredibly talented players or as people called them the "Monster Generation."

As you wait, your finger scrolls on the photos you have on your phone. Most of it, screenshots of your facetime with Oikawa, where he always looks good no matter what goofy face he makes. It made you smile remembering the moments you are physically away from each other, but now, you're waiting for his return.

Being in a long-distance relationship wasn't easy, especially when the both of you are pursuing your respective careers, it was overwhelming at first. But, you and Oikawa got past that, even though you were away from each other or had busy schedules, both of you adjusted and compensated for each other's needs.

You are still contemplating how you and Oikawa got together because of your common friend Hajime Iwaizumi when you heard several knocks on the clear window of your car.

Outside is a man leaning against the window of your driver's seat. He's wearing a black Adidas sports jacket, underneath is his blue colored jersey with a print of number 13, a black track pants, half of his face is covered with a black mask, and he's wearing a black cap on his head. Good thing is that the parking lot is well-lit so that you can clearly see who the man is.

He knocks again on the window when he sees how stunned you are. Pulling down his mask, Oikawa then flashes a sweet smile.

"Hey, chibi-chan."

The phone in your hand almost slipped in your hold and you can feel your heart wanting to get out of your chest. You hurriedly opened the car door to get out and Oikawa stepped aside to give you a way.

"Tooru!"

Oikawa catches you in his arms as you throw yourself at him for a tight embrace. "It has been so long, ________."

"I know. I know." You murmured as your body relaxed against his and you could feel the corner of your eyes getting full of tears. Finally having him within your grasp is overwhelming your feelings.

Oikawa shifted, his hand reaching for your face. He leaned closer to kiss you on your forehead as the tears escaped from your eyes.

"I missed you, ________."
