Playing Pretend"Oikawa

It was just another ordinary day at Aoba Johsai High School, or so you thought. As you walked down the hallway, books clutched tightly to your chest, the usual buzz of students faded into the background. Your mind was elsewhere, occupied by thoughts of your secret crush: Oikawa Tooru, the charismatic captain of the volleyball team.

His infectious laughter and charming smile lit up every room he entered, but you were just another face in the crowd. That was until you stumbled upon a conversation that would change everything.

The Setup

"Can you believe it? Oikawa is seriously going to ask out that new girl," your friend Miyuki said, leaning against a locker beside you.

Your heart sank at the thought. "The new girl? Really? Who is she?"

"Her name's Rina, and she's super cute. I mean, how could he resist?" Miyuki continued, completely unaware of your growing anxiety.

As you tried to suppress your jealousy, Oikawa's voice echoed down the hall. "Hey, guys!" He waved at you and your friends, that trademark grin plastered across his face. You could feel your heart racing as he approached.

"Did you hear? Rina's really nice," he said, his eyes sparkling with excitement. "I'm thinking of asking her out this Friday."

Your stomach twisted into knots. "Oh, wow, that's... great!" you managed to say, forcing a smile despite the dread pooling in your chest.

"Right? I mean, it's not like I need your permission, but I think she could be really special," Oikawa continued, completely oblivious to your internal turmoil.

The Proposal

As Oikawa rambled on, an idea struck you—what if you could make him jealous? It was a risky plan, but you were desperate to grab his attention. "What if I pretend to be your girlfriend?" you blurted out before you could think it through.

The hallway fell silent as everyone turned to look at you in shock, including Oikawa.

"Wait, what?" he asked, his eyebrows furrowing in confusion. "You want to pretend to be my girlfriend?"

"Yeah! You know, to make Rina jealous," you replied, trying to sound casual even though your heart was pounding. "I mean, it could work. If you want to get her attention, having a girlfriend might help."

Oikawa's expression shifted from confusion to intrigue. "Hmm, it might be fun. But are you sure you want to do this? It could get messy."

"I'm sure! It'll be easy, and it'll only be for a little while," you said, trying to convince both him and yourself.

"Alright, but you have to commit to this," he warned, a playful glint in his eyes. "No backing out when things get complicated!"

You nodded vigorously, unable to hide your excitement. "Deal!"

Playing the Part

As the days passed, your fake relationship with Oikawa took shape. You attended his practices, cheered him on during games, and even shared casual moments in between. You laughed at his jokes, pretended to be annoyed at his antics, and played the part of his girlfriend to perfection.

"What are you doing this weekend?" Oikawa asked one day after practice as you sat on the bleachers, enjoying the post-practice atmosphere.

"Not much, just studying. Why?" you replied, glancing at him.

"Why don't we hang out? You know, as a couple?" he suggested, his smile widening. "We could go get ice cream or something."

Your heart raced at the thought of spending more time with him. "Yeah, that sounds great!"

Complications Arise

However, as the weekend approached, you found yourself struggling with the line between reality and the act you were putting on. The more time you spent with Oikawa, the more you felt your feelings for him growing stronger. His charming personality and the way he treated you with kindness made it harder to remember that this was all a ruse.

On Friday night, you met Oikawa at your favorite ice cream shop. He was wearing a casual yet stylish outfit, and he looked effortlessly handsome. As he approached, you felt butterflies erupt in your stomach.

"Hey, Sayaka!" he greeted, waving enthusiastically. "You look great tonight!"

"Thanks! You do too," you replied, trying to play it cool.

The two of you chatted and laughed over ice cream, the atmosphere light and comfortable. But you couldn't shake the feeling that this was more than just a fake relationship.

Eavesdropping

The next day, as you were heading to the gym for a study session with some friends, you overheard a familiar voice. You paused outside the door, peeking through the small window. It was Oikawa and Iwaizumi, deep in conversation.

"I can't believe you actually agreed to this, Oikawa," Iwaizumi said, shaking his head. "Are you sure Sayaka is okay with pretending to be your girlfriend?"

"I think so! It's all just for fun, right?" Oikawa replied, a hint of uncertainty in his voice. "But she's really good at it. It feels almost real sometimes."

Your heart raced as you continued to listen, curiosity piqued.

"Just be careful, man. You don't want to mess things up for yourself," Iwaizumi cautioned. "Feelings can get complicated when you're pretending."

"Yeah, yeah, I know," Oikawa said dismissively, though his expression showed he was taking it to heart. "But it's not like I'm going to fall for her or anything... right?"

You felt a strange mix of emotions: embarrassment, anger, and a twinge of sadness. You were merely a pawn in his game, and suddenly, the weight of the fake relationship felt heavier than ever.

A Moment of Truth

After what felt like an eternity, you stepped away from the door, your heart pounding. You didn't know how to face him now, not after hearing those words.

Later that evening, you met Oikawa at your favorite ice cream shop. He was wearing a casual yet stylish outfit, and he looked effortlessly handsome. As he approached, you felt butterflies erupt in your stomach. But they quickly faded as memories of the conversation you overheard replayed in your mind.

"Hey, Sayaka!" he greeted, waving enthusiastically. "You look great tonight!"

"Thanks," you replied quietly, forcing a smile.

As the two of you chatted, the atmosphere felt strained. Oikawa noticed your change in demeanor.

"Is everything okay?" he asked, concern creeping into his voice.

"Yeah, everything's fine," you lied, looking down at your ice cream.

"Come on, you can't fool me. You seem off," he said, leaning in closer. "What's bothering you?"

You hesitated, contemplating whether to confront him about what you heard. Finally, you decided it was time to be honest. "I overheard you and Iwaizumi talking."

His expression shifted, and you could see the realization dawn on him. "You did?"

"Yeah. You said it feels almost real sometimes," you continued, your voice trembling slightly. "Is this really just a game to you?"

Oikawa's eyes widened, and for a moment, he was speechless. "Sayaka, I didn't mean it like that! I—"

"What did you mean, then?" you pressed, your heart racing.

"I thought it would be fun to pretend for a bit, and I didn't expect to actually enjoy spending time with you," he admitted, his cheeks flushing slightly. "But I never meant to hurt you."

Your heart softened at his honesty, but the uncertainty still lingered. "Then what are we doing? I don't want to just be a game to you."

Oikawa reached out and took your hand gently. "Maybe we should stop pretending then," he suggested, a hopeful smile breaking through.
