As the whistle blew, sounding another Aoba Johsai victory, Oikawa Tooru raised his hand and waved to the stands. The girls high above squealed, but you knew that he was waving at only one person. You.

If the cameras weren't flashing for the victory, they sure were snapping a million pictures a minute when you ran into his arms off the court. A popular volleyball player was an article, but a popular volleyball player dating a famous actress? That was a story.

"(Y/n) (L/n)! What a surprise to see you at the game this evening!" a reporter, sensing some seriously big news on her hands, shoved a microphone in your face, "And so close to the captain of Seijoh!"

You exchanged a look with Oikawa and he gave you an imperceptible nod. "He's my boyfriend," you answered with a smile.

The reporter's eyes shone like the stars, practically shaking in excitement, "And how long has the happy couple been together?"

Before you could answer, Oikawa's fangirls came running over, squealing at the sight of you two together. It wasn't news to the school that the two of you were an item- in fact, it was a wonder that the news hadn't already leaked.

"(Y/n)-chan! Over here!" one of the girls shrieked, waving enthusiastically with one hand as the other clutched a poster with Oikawa's name on it. You waved back and giggled a little at her enthusiasm.

"I love you both!" another girl screamed, raising her own "Go, Seijoh, Go!" poster in the air.

Oikawa took your hand in his and squeezed. You smiled gratefully at him as he leaned closer, his breath tickling your ear.

"You ready, my precious star?" he whispered.

"Always," you whispered back playfully.

Life was perfect.

—----------------------------------------------------

Perfection has a way of crumbling.

Everything is wonderful until the cracks start to show and spiderweb across the fragile glass of perfection.

Oikawa's fangirls had accepted you with open arms, but your fanboys were outraged at the news that you had a boyfriend. Some were mad that you were taken, but a lot thought you could do better than a volleyball-playing pretty boy.

(Y/n)-chan deserves better than some flatass.

Dump the loser, (Y/n)-chan!

She would be wayyyy better off with one of her co-stars and not some nobody.

He's using you, (Y/n)-chan!

Oikawa seemed to deflate more and more as the days went on. You caught him scrolling through hate comments on more than one occasion. But it wasn't until you caught him nursing a bloody nose and black eye that you realized that he wasn't safe as long as he was with you.

"Tooru, we need to talk."

The setting sun cast long shadows over Oikawa's downturned face.

You fought back tears as your gaze fell on the damage done to his face by the fans that had recognized him in the street. You needed to do this... for his protection.

"We need to break up." Your voice was a hushed whisper and cracks in the middle, but he heard you all the same. His head snapped up and his eyes went wide.

"What? Why?" he demanded, a hint of panic in his voice.

"All the hate and harassment you're getting... it's because of me. And... I can't take it. I can't watch them hurt you any longer. I'll just announce that we've broken up and your life will go back to normal."

"No no no no no, we can handle this together," Oikawa protested, suddenly grabbing you by the shoulders, "You can't leave me!"

"I need to!" you replied, a tear slipping down your cheek, "I can't let you get hurt on my account. We can't be together anymore, okay?"

"Or..." Oikawa's tone dropped several levels and his gaze became more intense. Suddenly, the man you knew was gone, replaced by something devoid of all emotion. His hands tightened on your shoulders until it began to hurt.

"Tooru?"

"Or you could just... disappear. The whole world will wonder why you went missing and, after they clear me of suspicion, the world will move on," Oikawa smiled down at you with a grin so twisted that you could barely believe it belonged to him, "Don't worry, my little star, I'll never forget about you."
