Win Her Heart [Oikawa Tooru x Reader]

Chapter 39. [Sadness And Comfort]

SECOND PERSON

Seijoh lost. For the umpteenth time, they lost against Shiratorizawa.

You watched as Seijoh hung their heads in defeat while Shiratorizawa cheered in victory. As a manager for Shiratorizawa, you were happy about their victory but as the former manager of Seijoh, you felt sad for them.

For countless times, they tried their best to win against Shiratorizawa. Making new strategies above old strategies and taking an over time just to practise in volleyball; their efforts were nonetheless wasted because of Shiratorizawa's brutality. You went to the court for the awarding ceremony; Shiratorizawa is advancing to Nationals and they will have to go through intense training under Coach Washijo... Again.

After the awarding you decided to leave Seijoh to give some space. You knew that they're not in the mood for more talking and so maybe you will send a text to Oikawa for just a little comfort.

You headed towards the bus to ride back to Wakano. The volleyball team was chatting to each other while the coach and the other manager was in the front seat. Ushijima was silent throughout the bus ride while you sat alone just playing with your phone.

From: Y/n 😘💞
To: Trashykawa 🔫
Subject: See you

Wanna come over?

You sent the message and waited for a few minutes but you didn't receive a text from Oikawa.

Maybe he's just too occupied with his thoughts.

You thought and pushed the subject aside as you plugged in your headphones and played music.

~[Haikyuu]~

It reached until the next day for Oikawa not to respond to your text and it got you worried and slightly panicking. It's not often that you feel like this.

Was he angry at me for being with Shiratorizawa? Should I confront him? Should I slap him to wake him up?

You groaned as you messed up your hair and laid your head on the desk. It was class hours and you can't concentrate in the lessons being thought because you were too preoccupied with Oikawa's well being.

Is he alright? I hope Iwaizumi is with him. I hope he slaps Oikawa in the head to wake him up. Iwaizumi, pls be there for Oikawa.

Suddenly you felt a hand ruffling your hair messing it up even more.

"Y/n chan~ what's got you so bothered since this morning" you heard Tendou say as he messed up your blond locks even more.

Oh yeah, he was your seat mate in class since you both were third years.

You turned your head to him and leaned your cheek on the desk.

"Don't mind me Tendou, I'm just thinking about sh*t" you murmured giving him a slight glare.

"Then, you must be in your period"

"I'm not"

"You look like it"

"I'm not Idiot, my skirt should be stained with the color of your hair then if I was in my period"

"Hey! Don't make fun of my hair color!" he complained which earned your other classmates' attention and a glare from the teacher.

"Tendou kun, what could be the matter in there?" the teacher asked and Tendou stiffened as you stifled a laugh and covered your face with a book that was on your desk.

"There's nothing wrong sensei~" Tendou assured as the teacher gave him a last glare and continued writing on the board. Tendou turned to you with a playful glare and you just stuck your tongue out to him.

~[Haikyuu]~

It was finally dismissal and practise was over as you walked home alone. You left the team who went to go eat somewhere while you headed home. As you entered the apartment hallway, you saw Oikawa sitting and leaning against your door with a bag on his side. You ran to him and crouched in front of him; his eyes were covered by his bangs and he was looking down. He was wearing the usual volleyball uniform which consists of a turquoise jacket and jogging pants.

You moved his bangs away from his eyes and chocolate brown met E/c. His eyes showed only one emotion...sadness. You cupped his face as tears started streaming down his cheeks and pulled him for a hug. You hugged him tightly as he desperately clung unto your shirt and cried on your shoulder.

"It's going to be okay, Tooru. I'm here for you. Pls don't cry" you softly coaxed him as you let go of the hug and kissed his forehead. You looked at his eyes and it pained you to see him like this. Pained and defeated.

You helped him stand up and unlocked the door as you let him enter. You closed the door and led him to the couch. You sat on his lap, thighs on both sides and hugged him again as he cried on your shoulder.

"I'm so useless Y/n, I can't even lead the team to victory" he sobbed as he hugged you tightly. You ran your hands through his hair.

"Sshhh, just let it out Tooru. It's going to be alright" you said and continued running your hands on his hair and gently stroking his back to help sooth him. He would say something negative here and there but you would always assure him of better things. Finally after about an hour he stopped crying and just looked down as you proceeded to cup his cheeks and make him look at you.

"Tooru, look at me" you softly ordered and he looked up at you.

"You. Were. Amazing. Back there" you said with a kiss on his forehead, cheeks and nose. He looked at you, eyes with desperation and you just flashed a warm smile at him.

"In all honesty, I didn't root for a team to be fair. I just watched and observed some of your movements and what I saw back there is a brown haired captain leading his team to victory but failed in the end."

"Y/n chan, you're stating the obv-"

"Ssshh, I'm not done yet. As I was saying, I was amazed at how strong Seijoh has become. I was amazed of how much persistence and effort you guys displayed on the court. Even though you lost several matches against Shiratorizawa, you never gave up and instead improved yourselves for the better. And don't worry, It did you good in the end. You guys were so brave to stand against an undefeatable opponent even though you knew you would lose. It was amazing, Tooru. Losing is not a proof of weakness, it's where you get the determination to strive higher. And I know you know that... Or maybe not, for being such a stupid trashcan captain."

"That was really mean Y/n chan!" he whined and you chuckled as you leaned down to kiss his lips. He responded which resulted to a sweet innocent kiss.

"Thank you so much Y/n, that made me feel better" he said with a smile on his lips and you chuckled as you pecked his lips.

"You're welcome"

"Y/n chan?"

"Yes?"

"Do you love me yet?"
