Pining For You with Oikawa Tooru

Anonymous asked: Can i request oikawa being in love with his introverted best friend and pining for her...?

Hmmm So I wasn't sure if this was for headcanons or for a scenario... So I think I'm going to go with a quick look into the life of Oikawa being completely head over heels in the form of a Scenaio! Thank you so much for requesting! -Admin Satori <3

Oikawa Tooru:

It was supposed to be a day at the park. Or even a day spent at the carnival in town. Oikawa had wanted to pull you out of your shell for the day and possibly reward you for your efforts by going to the library afterwards for you to lose yourself in the world of books while he suffered silently.

That's what it was supposed to be.

Instead, the two of you were sitting at a table in the silent library, him sitting across from you and staring at the spine of the book you had your nose buried in. He felt stifled. He felt contained and suppressed and it wasn't a nice feeling. But when he lifted his head to be able to see your face, about to complain about how boring this was, and he saw your serene smile on your face... he laid his head back down and forced himself to relax. You were happy. That's all he wanted for you.

Oikawa whined in his throat when you brought the book up closer to your face, reaching out and pulling it so it was lying flat on the table, "______-chan~ You're going to get a pug nose if you press it any closer~." He teased in a whisper, giving you a cute smile when your eyes briefly slid over to meet his before going back to the same paragraph you'd been reading before he pulled the book away.

"No, I'm not, Tooru." You muttered under your breath as you read, your previously furrowed eyebrows slowly smoothing out as you immersed yourself in the fictional world beneath your fingertips.

He didn't mind though. He didn't mind the silence between the two of you. Honestly, he preferred if you were speaking to him, but these quiet moments with you really allowed him to dwell and think about what he felt for you. About what you meant to him and why he was so slow to act on those feelings.

It had only been a few months ago that he'd come to learn about his feelings, before that he thought of you on the same level as Iwaizumi. He hadn't meant to fall in love with you, but you'd worked your magic and had so slyly charmed your way into the deepest parts of his heart. You were the one he'd always go to with any issues he had before he went to Iwaizumi. You were the one he told about his knee before Iwaizumi found out. You knew all his secrets and why he does what he does and why he can't seem to find a girlfriend. He told you that it was probably because they were too scared to approach greatness like him.

"Why would they be scared of you, Tooru? You're a real catch. Good looking, good heart, good intentions...."

His heart pounded in his chest at the memory of your response, how casually you'd explained to him the good qualities he had. He had teased you about it, asking if you were falling for him so soon after becoming his best friend, but you'd only immersed yourself back in your reading. Oikawa felt his face heat up, and if you were to look in that moment you would have seen his light pink blush dusting from the bridge of his nose to the tips of your ears. But you didn't look. Your mind was too far gone with the story.

Oikawa knew after you'd told him something in such a genuine tone that he couldn't confess to you. He knew how he was, how he would eventually ruin what the two of you had built. He didn't want to lose you. He didn't want to break your heart. It was presumptuous for him to think that he'd break your heart and not the other way around, but he knew how he was. He hurts those he loves. He pushes them away with his teasing and his annoying personality until they eventually gave up and left. That's why his last girlfriend had left him, he knew.

His light brown eyes continued to stare up at your face, not caring if he'd get caught, he knew he wouldn't. Once you were in the zone, you rarely ever came out of your reading coma. Your focus was almost the same intensity as his when he was about to serve. But he wanted your focus on him. He was greedy, but reluctant to take your attention.

Oikawa took a slow breath before reaching out with his right hand and taking yours that wasn't turning the pages, feeling your soft warm skin against his he couldn't help but think maybe you would be different. Maybe he could confess and maybe the two of you could work out. There were endless possibilities and he wanted to explore them with you. He wanted to pull you out of your head and into the world he lived in; He wanted to walk that path of life with you by his side.

A spark of hope shot through his heart as he felt your delicate fingers slowly curl around his hand, a small smile coming to your face as you continued to read. He felt breathless at your actions. Never had you been brought out of your reading by him or any of his antics. Oikawa couldn't help the smile that tugged at his lips as he looked from your eyes scanning the page to his hand holding yours. Maybe he did have a chance.

A/N: Hmmmm I feel like this isn't exactly 'pining' so much as it's him being scared of messing things up... Hope you liked it anyway!
