Haikyuu!! Reader-Insert One Shots

Just One Touch (Oikawa Tooru x Reader) {Soulmate!AU}

Soulmate!AU where your vision is black and white until you touch your soulmate

The brisk autumn air nipped at your fingertips and you silently cursed yourself for constantly forgetting to invest in a new pair of gloves. As it grew later into the year, the walk to work slowly grew more and more grueling whether it be due to the weather itself, or the temperature which seemed to be plummeting even lower with each day that passed by.

That particular Monday morning trip to work was more hectic than usual. Aside from the usual crowd of people who opted to walk to their desired destination, the streets were crowded with Christmas shoppers who were desperate to make it to every last store for their holiday deals. There didn't appear to be a single person who wasn't pushing and squeezing their way through the crowd, completely unfazed by the other people around them. By now, you were more than used to rude people who had no problem pushing past you, but that didn't make it any more pleasurable than it did before.

Popping in your earbuds, you made the best you possibly could of that morning by drowning out the loud chatter and car horns with some music. You didn't care which song it was, you just needed something to distract you from the mess around you. One song played after another and before long, you found yourself only a few blocks away from your job and you were far more relaxed than you were previously.

Closing your eyes, you were happy and content. Upon opening them your world was turned upside down.

Your heart nearly stopped in pure shock at the sudden change of everything before you. The world you knew of your whole life suddenly looked so much different than it ever did before. Colors that, prior to that moment, were only mere stories told to you by relatives were suddenly visible to you all at once. Red, blue, green, purple; you saw it all and it was absolutely stunning.

That man over there wearing a blue hoodie, that woman on the phone with her pink scarf, and even you in your usual work clothes that suddenly looked a whole lot colorful than they ever did before.

It was only when you eventually started coming down from this feeling of pure euphoria that you realized why you could finally see all these wonderful colors previously hidden from you before: you had found your soulmate.

But where was he? The moment you realized it, you were already too late. You frantically spun around in the middle of the crowded street in hopes of finding the person who would be your one true love for life, but all you managed to gain were dirty looks from the other people around you.

Part of you wanted to just forget it ever happened and continue on your way to work before you were late, but you knew you couldn't do it. The chances of you running into your soulmate again were slim to none and you knew you would never be able to forgive yourself if you managed to ruin your chances of finding love.

Bracing yourself for the looks and angry shouts that were bound to come, you quickly turned around and darted through the crowd of people in search of someone who could possibly be your soulmate. You ran and ran, pushing past random people without even looking back. You couldn't quite explain it, but every other person you ran past didn't feel quite right, as if the two of you didn't fit well. With each person you passed by, the thinner your hopes grew. There was no telling where he could've been at this point, or if he was even still outside. You were nearly tempted to just drop this wild goose chase and continue on with your life for better or for worse when you ran straight into someone.

You stumbled back at impact, nearly falling on the icy pavement before he grabbed your waist for support. You weren't quite sure whether you should praise or yell at the man, but it all ceased to matter the second you looked up at him. The moment your eyes locked with the handsome, bespectacled man before you, you knew exactly who he was.

"Can you see it too?" you both said in unison, followed by a small chuckle on both ends upon the realization that the question was already answered.

"Oikawa Tooru," he said, extending his hand out to you.

There was not a single ounce of hesitation upon accepting his hand. "[name]."

And at that point, nothing else mattered. Not the bustling people around you, not your job that you were already most certainly late to, nothing.

It was at that moment that you knew that only happiness awaited your future with Oikawa finally in your life.
