The Babysiting Project [ : Male Reader : ]

Bad Luck

Oikawa laid on his bed, bored out of his mind. The event yesterday replayed when Tobio asked what 'bitch' mean when they in supermarket. When they went outside, (M/N) suddenly remember about eggs that he forgot to buy made he quickly went in back and Tobio innocently asked again what 'bitch' mean. When Oikawa explained the meaning about it, suddenly, a sweet looking elderly lady just happened to be walking.

With a small white poodle with a pink ribbon on it's fluffy white head and Tobio said out loud, pointed toward the innocent poodle. Lucky that (M/N) didn't know about it. But anywho, all was well in a day's work. Removing the thoughts of yesterday, he began to think about what happened today. Unfortunately, luck wasn't on their side today. What happened, you ask? Well let's begin where Oikawa was getting ready for school.

Earlier that morning

Oikawa was just about done getting his uniform on. When he finished the final touches, he went to the room Tobio was currently staying in, to see if he was ready yet. "Tobio-chan, are you-?" He was cut off by the sight if sickly looking Tobio. The little boy was very pale looking, with dark bags under his tired looking eyes, and his little chubby cheeks were flushed red. Most likely from a fever.

"T-Tooru-nii, what's h-h-happening t-to me?" Tobio asked. Oikawa was panicking. 'Wh-What am I gonna do?! Tobio-chan is sick, and if (M/N)-chan finds out then he'll-!' The ringing of his door bell cut off his thoughts. 'Whaaaa?? He's already here? What am I supposed to do?!' With so many thoughts clouding his mind, Oikawa still managed to sputter out something that was ridiculously stupid.

"Tobio-chan, you have to get better in 10 minutes okay? If (M/N)-chan finds out you're sick, then I most likely won't live. So hurry and heal yourself!" Oikawa said before rushing out the door. Tobio just stared out the door before with hazy eyes before turning his gaze to the ceiling. "How do I do that?" When Oikawa reached the door, he saw his (M/N)-chan waiting for him and Tobio.

"Ah! (M/N)-chan! Good morning! How was your walk here?" Oikawa asked with a closed eye smile made (M/N) narrowed his eyes, felt something suspicious. 'He hiding something....' (M/N) thought. "What did you do, Trashykawa?" (M/N) asked, stared at Oikawa. "Wh-What do you mean?! And stop calling me Trashykawa! You can call me 'Tooru' you know?" Oikawa said pouting made (M/N) rolled his eyes and continued inside his house.

"No thanks. Trashykawa suits you better. Where's Tobio?" Before Oikawa could say 'You hang out with Iwa-chan too much,' he froze. "Where's Tobio?" That question rung in his mind. "U-Um, I think he's almost done getting ready-!"

*Cough* *Cough* *Cough*

"..."

(M/N) eyes seemed to flash as he pushed Oikawa out of the way, running to the room that Tobio was currently residing in, Oikawa following right behind. 'Sc-Scary! He has ears like a hawk! He even heard Tobio's tiny coughs!' He thought as the two reached the designated room. Inside was Tobio who was...stretching? However, the paleness of his face, dark bags and redness obviously did not go unnoticed by (M/N).

"Kageyama Tobio! What are you doing? You look sick! Why are you up and moving around?" Endless questions came out of his mouth as Tobio fell over with a plop. With a light shriek, (M/n) rushed over to him, picking him up and putting him on his bed. Stroking his head, (M/n) asked. "Idiot, why were you stretching?" With a lazy shrug, Tobio pointed a finger at Oikawa. "Tooru-nii said I had to hurry and get better,"

Tobio started ignoring Oikawa's arms waving at him to stop, "He said that if I don't then he won't live anymore. I can't let Tooru-nii disappear so....I....did...everything.....I could...to...*cough cough* Oikawa now had anime tears streaming down his face. "T-Tobio-chaaan~! Yo-You're not as much of a brat I thought you were!" He wailed. (M/n)'s eyes flashed towards him, causing Oikawa to cower back in slight fear.

"Were you seriously expecting him to go to daycare in this state?" (M/n) asked and Oikawa faltered. 'Okay, I can't screw up this answer, or I really won't be able to live.' Oikawa debated with himself. Finally deciding on an answer, he spoke up.

"Um...yes?"

Lol, Just kidding

But Oikawa did get a 'small' beating and scolding from (M/n) about responsibility and common sense. That day, it was decided that (M/n) and Oikawa would both skip school to take care of Tobio. After a quick call to Iwaizumi, (M/n) got Iwaizumi's approval for Oikawa to skip practice that day.

*Present Time*

Those events lead up to now, Oikawa on his bed, bored out of his mind. "Oikawa!" (M/n) called him. Getting up from his bed, he made his way to (M/n), who was leaning on the door frame of Tobio's room. "Tobio's symptoms are the ones for a common cold. With the right remedies and care, he should be better tomorrow." (M/n) said, putting apron on. "I'm gonna go make some porridge, Oikawa don't bother him and let him sleep."

(M/n) said, stealing one more glance at Tobio's sleeping face. 'Cold pack on his forehead, extra blankets, pillows. Everything seems okay. I'll come check on him later.' (M/n) thought as he looked at Oikawa who was already staring at him. "What?" (M/n) asked. Oikawa smiled and shook his head. "It's nothing, I was just thinking about how great of mother you'd be even you're a guy.

You really love Tobio-chan do you?" Oikawa asked with a gentle smile. Not a flirtatious smile. Not a teasing one. But a genuine smile.

*Thump*

*Thump*

*Thump*

A flash of pink spread on (M/n)'s cheeks as he turned away, hand over his heart. "U-Um, ye-yeah. I guess I do." He said before finally heading out of the kitchen. 'Damn you, Trashkawa...' (M/n) thought as a smile etched on his face.

Extended Ending

"Oikawa! You were suppose to be watching the porridge while I checked up on Tobio! Now it's burnt!" (M/n)'s voice rang through the whole house. "I-I'm sorry (M/n)-chan, really I am!" Oikawa said hiding behind the couch, trying to avoid all the pillows being thrown at him. "No you're not! Now I have to remake it, you idiot!" (M/n) yelled continuing to throw pillows at Oikawa with all his force.

In a certain room, a little future volleyball prodigy was dreaming away about his first game, with Oikawa and (M/n) there to cheer him on...
