Not just a script! OiSuga

Chapter 18

Sugawara's POV:

Today was the first day in a while where i had woken up alone in my own house.

Oikawa was worried the night before about me being alone but i had reassured him over and over that i would be fine and it's only one night, and that i would be back at his the next day. But, i didn't tell him i was also worried. Worried that i wouldn't handle it as well as i told him i would. Anxiety ran through me the moment i was told we weren't spending the night together -but i couldn't tell him that, it would make him worry.

The night was a bore. I'd somehow forgotten how truly boring and empty it was being in this house completely alone with nothing to do. Oikawa was out for the night so it wasn't even like i could message him and i just didn't feel like talking to anyone other than him.
However, i survived the night in one piece and sleep came easier than i feared.
And i cant complain about my morning either. I woke up naturally only a few minutes before my alarm and i felt rather rested which was incredibly rare for me. Instead of waking up in an empty state, preparing myself to experience another day, i was... looking forward to the day. I was determined to get up and to school, to work through it until the afternoon where i would be able to see the one and only, you guessed it, Oikawa.
I was having, believe it or not, a good day. And i hadn't even seen Oikawa yet!

Jeez, i feel like i've said Oikawa's name a whole lot already.
Oikawa Oikawa Oikawa. Everything Oikawa.
His name brought a smile to my lips.

"Heellooo?" His voice echoed through my phone. I was on my way to his when i got a call from him.
Immediately i feared he'd tell me something just came up, that i couldn't see him. Why else would he call me, right? "Sugaaa—?You there?"

"No. Suga passed away. This is his brother." My reply was stupid in many different ways.

"Damn. Did he leave a note?"

My mouth dropped open in a shocked yet impressed expression. "Did- did you just make a suicide joke?"

"I did. Too soon?" Despite this only being a phone call, i could imagine Oikawa's sudden 'overthinking' face as he suddenly regrets whatever he says. It's an adorable face.

"No, not soon enough." I laughed because i was genuinely impressed at his ability to make dark jokes. I loved how comfortable he was with it. I used to fear that if anyone found out they would treat me differently and try tread lightly around me when all i want to do is have a fucking laugh. Reason 317 why Oikawa is perfect. "I'm almost at yours, do i need to turn back?"

"Yes." Oh. "Can you did a quick trip to the shop? Please." Jesus, please phase your sentences better i almost had a heart attack of disappointment.

"Yeah, alright. What do you need?"

"Gas, matches, bleach, rope and tape please."
A silence.
"Suga?"

"I might just go home.." I joked... mostly.

"Please don't." He pleaded but laughed. "I'll text you the real list. Have you got money? I only have cash so i can pay you back when you get here."

"Yeah, i've got money." I think.

"Good. I'll see you soon, and thanks."

We ended the call and only a second later Oikawa sent the list. And i can confidently say it was just as weird as the first list.

Oink 🐷

Me:

I continued to question what the shopping list was for and why he needed them the whole way to the shop and the whole way to Oikawa's house. I even prepared myself to walk into Oikawa's house to see a bunch of kids having a party but no, just Oikawa and his cheesy grin at the front door.
"Here you go, weirdo." I stuff the bag into his chest as soon as he opens the door.

"Ah, thanks man. Lifesaver."
Despite Oikawa calling me 'man' for the entire time we've known each other, it pains me a little. I guess it's a simple reminder that we were nothing more but friends-still.

"Hair ties and whip cream is going to save your life? I question why i'm friends with you."

Friends.

"And the answer to that question is because you're just as weird as me." True. "Come on. I've got you something." So i let him excitedly drag me inside, bring me to the couch, and push me down so i sat.

"Is it my birthday?" I ask, still thinking about the shopping list. A lot of it could be party related... but the hair ties... and it's not my birthday either...

"No. Just treat Sugawara Koushi day."
I liked the sound of that.
"Close your eyes, and put your hands out."

I did as he said, but like any sane person i shout out, "Wait i'm scared." And shoot my hands down. He reassured me by describing the shape of the object and the weight so it would be less surprising when it blindly landing in my hands. Then, he told me to open my eyes.
In my hands was a book. 'Husband material' was the title. I opened my mouth, about to guilty tell him i already own and have read the book but then i re-read the title, "Wait..." I re-read it and re-read it again.
Hus-band mat-er-ial. "No way! It's a sequel!?" I shout in joy.
The book i owned was BOYfriend material. I was totally unaware there was a sequel... a sequel!! "Since when?!" I was too excited i had forgotten to say thank you.

"I'm not sure when it came out.." He shrugged, totally not matching my excitement. Modest much. "I just saw it when i was in a book shop."
Oikawa in a book shop? But Oikawa isn't a reader? I'm a reader. I didn't question it.

"Holy shit. Thank you! Fuck. I'm so excited to read it thank you, Tooru!" I grin at him with pure job and excitement. I was truly grateful for the gift i felt like i needed to thank him again and again and even then i wouldn't feel like i'd said it enough.

"That's only the beginning." He winked and it made me wonder. Why was it Sugawara Koushi day again? "Hungry?"

"Starving."

"Dinner will be ready in ten. Want to pick something on tv?"

"You spoil me."

[A/n: i remember first finding out there were a sequel to boyfriend material and i was so excited i almost forgot i needed to doze down the autism in a book shop.
If u haven't read it, i so recommend it. Amazing book and Alexis Hall is an absolutely amazing and hilarious author]
