The last week of school was upon Aoba Johsai, which was preparing for the graduation of its third years. Not only were the teachers busy, but so were the students. Going to meetings, packing for colleges, getting their outfits, and some were... Regretting.
Oikawa sat in the gym, staring at the court with a volleyball in hand, twirling it. He wouldn't play in this place again, this would be the last week he's sitting there, waiting for the others to come in. More so, waiting for someone to come in. He was looking at the doors, hoping he'd see them come through them.
"Hey Toru!"
"Y/n!" He kisses them gently, in a way that felt sage and secure, but he felt off.
"You okay, babe?"
"Y/n.."
Who was he kidding, he messed up big time with it all. There was no chance of it happening again, they wouldn't even talk to him.
"Y/n.. I want-"
"Babe, what's taking so long?" A girl walked in, immediately going to Oikawa and hugging up on him.
Y/n was speechless, mouth agape as tears formed in her eyes. "You.."
"No, no. Y/n, please listen."
"Who's this?" The girl pointed to them with a disgusted look.
"No- No one," they answered, choking back sobs that was fighting their way out. "No one, I have to get home." Her mother, who was always there for her during anything and everything, she had to get home to her.
It had been a year. A year without Y/n, a year of being ignored, a year that he spent regretting it all. Everything fell short without Y/n, his entire mind went spiraling.
"Y/n, please-"
They walked right by, not even looking at him. It took his breath away.
"Y/n-" he chased- "Please, Y/n, please talk to me." He was on the verge of breaking, of losing every bit of himself.
"What, Oikawa?" they snapped, spinning around to face him. "What? I don't have anything to say to you."
"Just listen-"
"To what?! Sorry good-for-nothing excuses as to why you did it? Is that it?"
"No, Y/n, I just- I'm sorry, I didn't mean for it to happen. It just- It was out of nowhere."
Y/n stared at him, which would normally give him hope, but the look on their face said otherwise. His hands fell to his sides, a look of desperation in his eyes.
"Y/n-"
"That's a horrible excuse. How do you cheat without meaning to?"
Oikawa froze, how did he explain a horrid prank by his friends? But even then, after a while, he didn't fully end things. He liked the attention from everyone.
"Well?"
"It was a stupid prank, they told her I like her. Next thing I know, she's following me everywhere. And I guess.. I just.. I liked the attention she brought to me."
Y/n didn't respond after that, all he could remember was watching he fade into the crowds. She never spoke to him after, no matter how much he tried.
"Oi!"
Oikawa jumped, getting to his feet within seconds. "Iwa, what-"
"Schools over, let's go."
"What?"
