Jacket ~ oikawa x reader ~

First day..

After a boring school year and a grueling break it was finally time for my first day at Seijoh. The events of my last time here not lost on me as I first stepped through the massive doors. This school was definitely different from Karasuno, the walls were cleaner and had posters neatly posted sporting all the different clubs and activities happening. The bright lights also shone a light blueish white, not the normal orange glow I was used to. * How does my mom even afford this, I mean every other school I've gone to hasn't been horrible, but man this is next level rich.*

Outside was dressed in beautiful greenery, large trees framed the front of the gate, and the dirt path leading up to the main doors was adorned with rose bushes. The front doors themselves were massive, at least 9 feet tall, ivy and  moss clung to the deep brown wooden doors given a rustic natural look. The halls were like a maze and I would've been late if this sweet girl hadn't stopped to help me find the principles office. *even the people are nicer here, maybe this school won't be so bad..*

Ok so it was the end of the day and I was totally lost, it hadn't helped that almost everyone I asked had given very vague directions. How am I supposed to find anything if all I've got to go on is "go that way for a bit" or  "its like left of that side" being late for the first day of try outs was not a good look.

After what felt like hours I finally rushed through the gym doors, luckily in my adventure to find the gym I decided to stop in a bathroom and change so I could be ready. I quickly found a spot on the bench to put my stuff and stood pointedly, scanning the room and assessing what to start with.

Before I could properly stretch and warm up a whistle was blown indicating everyone to gather around the source. I ran over and found a place in the small crowd gathered, a few of the boys behind me were joking about a girl on a boys team but I decided to leave it alone for now.

"Okay guys today we are going to run basic drills and asses your skill in each category. I will pull everyone aside at different times to have one on one conversations and you will be assessed on that too. We take our team seriously and so you will be expected to maintain good grades and a good preformance as well, if this is too much than go home now because this isn't meant for you." Oikawas voice rang loud in the gym, his demeanor was much different then last time we met, but I suppose that's his captain voice.

With another whistle blow he ended his explanation and everyone broke off to start the drills. I turned on my heel to get in line when a hand on my shoulder stopped and spun me back around. "What are you doing here?" His cold voice took me off guard, with a small step back I politely brushed his hand off. "I go here now, it's a long story." His gaze hardened and it made my stomach turn, nerves shot through my body as my polite smile slowly turned to a flat line.      "no I mean like here in the gym, its being used you know?" I shot a confused pointed look. " I sent in my application papers a week ago.. didnt you get them?" His eye widened " L/n Y/n? " he read off one of the papers in his hand and laughed a bit. " Look we cant accept a girl onto the boys volleyball team." I was taken aback by his words and as he turned to walk away I jogged to catch up and walk beside him. " I actually already talked to the coach about that and he said as long as you think im good enough to join im good to go!" He stopped and turned to look at me again, this time scanning my whole frame. Again his gaze trapped me, holding my will hostage as he searches into my soul. "Fine, you have today to prove you can play with the big boys." 

I was determined now, but his words stung a little. He had already seen me play, was our game before not in his memory, has he forgotten who I even am? It felt silly to worry about those things right now but for some reason these questions were stuck in my mind.

After a while of practicing my receives Oikawa called me over.  " From what i remember you were the Karasuno wing spiker correct?" I smiled *he does remember!* nodding my head " alright then im gonna do a few sets I want to see you spike them. im going to have our blockers try and stop you too." I closed my fist in determination. I was going to show him I deserved a spot on this team. " get ready!" He yelled as he threw the ball up to set it. As soon as the ball hit his finger tips I felt the sound before I knew what I was doing, muscle memory kicking in as I ran and jumped, my hand swung and made contact with the ball breaking right through the blockers wall. I hit the ground with the soft thud of my sneakers on the floor. The deafening silence that followed made my heart race, I scanned the room and found his eyes with a small breath. We looked at each other now deeper than ever before, it felt like I had been shocked in my veins as bolts of electricity ran through every part of my body. He gave a stout nod and turned to start setting for the next person. I raced back to the bench, grabbing my water. *a nod.. a nod?! what was that! what does that even mean.. did he like it? was it choppy? it felt good, so why did he only nod?!* My mind raced as I watched the next few people go, some gave me confidence while others totally crushed me.

Another whistle blew and everyone broke from the drills they were doing and ran to grab their water from their spot on the bench. I ran over to him, huffing as I caught up to him. "so what did you think?" I huffed out trying to regain my breath. "You will know if you've made the team at the end just like everyone else, okay princess?" I cringed at his tone and turned on my heel, rolling my eyes as I walked away.

The rest of the try out seemed like a blur as I worked tirelessly through the drills, finally that last whistle blew and everyone gathered on the line anxiously awaiting to hear their names called. The list of names was short, you could tell by the way he had folded the paper in half, but it still felt like an eternity before he finally said it. "Lastly we have our secondary wing spiker , which will be L/n Y/n." I closed my eyes and let out the air I had collected in my lungs, my mind was still spinning with the high of waiting as everyone broke away to gather their thing. The people who made it were asked to sit and wait for just a moment for one last meeting.

" Practice starts before school around 6:30 and right after school so dont be late!" " Yes sir!" the people who made the team bowed to Oikawa as he dismissed everyone. I was one of the last people out of the gym as I gathered my things and finished the last of my stretches. " We are locking up soon, you almost done?" Oikawa made his way over to me, from this position he seemed larger than life. I stood closing a bit of the distance between our heights and tilted my head to crack my neck. " Yeah sorry , I usually stretch before but I didn't have time." I slung my bag over my shoulder forgetting to zip it up, the jacket he had given me swell as a few other things flew to the floor, I sighed lightly and bent down to begin picking it all up when a big hand beat me to it. Holding the jacket dangling above my head was a smirking Oikawa, part of me felt like I had been caught doing something naughty, like a child stealing from the cookie jar. "You still have this?" His tone was mocking yet gentle, I felt a light blush of embarrassment brush over my cheeks. I stood again, but this time I still felt small under him, I fiddled with my fingers and gave a quick nod my eyes never leaving his piercing gaze. It was a new feeling, the way his eyes could lock me in place stealing every bit of will I have, it made my head swirl and my jaw tense as I tried to focus on the thumping of my heartbeat. It felt like an eternity standing there as he once again examined every inch of my face, I felt like a puzzle being torn apart with each second going by, it was uncomfortable being so exposed so I finally reach out to take it back. Just as my hand is about to make contact, he pulls his hand away making me stumble forward slightly now inches away as I tilted my head up to look at him again. "what are you doing." I can only manage a whisper, anything more and it really would've shown just how nervous I was. "Just looking." He chuckled before wrapping the jacket neatly around my shoulders, turning and leaving as I stood speechless watching him go.

When I arrived home it was quiet and dark. A painful familiarity hit when the lights flickered on and a note sat at the kitchen table, we only moved in a few weeks ago yet she was headed on another adventure. I picked up the note read the small neat handwriting that I had seen so many nights before. '..Be home in 2 months, I love you take care of yourself!' Sighing deeply I tossed the note in the trash and reached for a frozen dinner, popping it into the microwave I sat and waited.  The house wasn't even fully unpacked, boxes lay in ever corner with the unimportant stuff tucked away. It wasn't unusual for her to leave, but honestly I wanted her here. My mom had been my best friend for the few years after my dad died, but with this new found freedom she had gained she ended up choosing life over me. The beep of the microwave pulled me away from my mind as I continued preparing the food sitting on the coach and turning on the TV to some random show.
