Butterfly Nets [IwaOi Haikyuu] ✅

"Oikawa Tooru, 17, Aoba Johsai Volleyball Team Captain, position Setter, Favourite Food milk bread, if you're gonna hit it-..."

Iwaizumi stopped reading

"What's wrong??" Oikawa who's sitting beside him leaning his back onto Iwaizumi's bed opened his eyes and looked at his best friend noticing he stopped reading

"These are all the things I've already knew, what's the point of reading, I have more infos about you in my head and they're not sugarcoated in the slightest"

Iwaizumi waved the sports magazine out of boredom and puts it down and continues watching an international practice match between whatever team it was, Oikawa didn't care, at least that day he didn't

"Iwa-Chan!! You're supposed to be interested in reading that! And what you mean by sugarcoated?!!" Oikawa gasped at his best friend gesture even tho he's not surprised at the attitude cuz Iwaizumi wouldn't mean it from what he always knew

"They clearly didn't mention you being a perfectionist workaholic who's also a dramatic whiny bitch who complains about everything to the point it's childish, I can continue if you want the list goes on and on" Iwaizumi told him without looking away from the tablet in hand and spinning a pen with the other

"Geez Iwa-chan... You're making my day way worse. I literally just broke up with someone last week, coming here to relax didn't work after all" Oikawa pouted acting annoyed leaning back onto the bed

"Not my fault you never cared about anything other than volleyball and food"

"Hey! I care about you, and our team-"

"Who also has to do with volleyball" he interrupted eyes still glued to the tablet

"I also care personally"

"Myea tell me the last time you did something nice to the team"

"Well-"

"Nothing, not even to me, you've been into volleyball way too much, cut yourself some slack, how can you still stay up and watch long ass matches from other schools when it's no use" he lectured Oikawa looking away from the tablet and to his best friend while the tablet is still playing a match from YouTube.

"It's not 'no use' " Oikawa face dropped

"It is, we didn't make it to nationals so just relax for a sec" his face is unfazed tho he sounds concerned

Oikawa stares back silently for a while

"What"

"There, I relaxed, for three seconds even"

"You're unbelievable"

"Unbelievably talented, I wouldn't be surprised if Ushijima still wants me in his team still by now for how good I am" clearly trying to make himself feel better though he says it in a jokey tone

"....they lost too"

It took a while for Iwa to look up from his tablet for not receiving any response only to find Oikawa holding back tears then failing miserably moments after

"....hey. Quit it it's over, think about what you gonna do after graduation would ya?" He says kinda concerned patting Oikawa's back

Oikawa wiped his wet cheeks with his sleeve and stand up grabbing his bag
"I promised to take Takeru to the park today. See ya" he held a peace sign before walking to the door and closes it

Iwaizumi only let out a sigh
"What am I gonna do with you Tooru"

"Takeru~ look here!"

"Mfhm!" Takeru looks towards the camera holding up a peace sign with one hand while the other is holding an onigiri

"Haha! Your mouth is full and ya got rice all over!" He laughed while typing a tweet

"Whaaa TOORU DELETE IT!... DON'T POST IT CRAPPYTOORU MAMA WILL SEE IT DAMNIT!!!" Oikawa being way much taller didn't make the situation better, Takeru couldn't snatch the phone away before Oikawa tweet the picture

"Too late~! He waves his front from the top of his head showing his tweet that already received a few likes"

"Geez!!!" He tries to kick his annoying uncle but fail as he dodges immediately while laughing

"Oh look!!! Your ma's the first to comment! 'my baby look so cute with that sunset background!' with love emojis hahaha" he says in awe as he type a reply while Takeru just eats the rest of his onigiri in defeat"

"Can we go home now already??? I'm hungry" Takeru tug his uncle's sleeve who just finished typing

"Eh?? You literally just ate" Oikawa rest a hand on his hip

"But I want dinner, we only bought a few onigiris, Ma and Gran probably already cooked by now"

Oikawa looks at the time on his phone showing its 5:32pm "yea let's go it's late, go get your ball I'll clean up" Oikawa pick up their few onigiri wrappers while Takeru jogged to grab his volleyball that rolled to a tree near them and they walked home soon after

Takeru was a handful but he would've sworn he loved their hang out, the kid really loves playing with him and making friends with other kids from the park. He even reads the magazine he brought and played volleyball with him for most of their hang out which puts him in awe state

Oikawa's sitting in his sister's living room couch with Takeru fallen asleep besides using his lap as a pillow when his sister approached him

"Look how tired my baby is" she sits down and puts down her tea mug onto the coffee table

"Yeah he was really energetic, he kept trying to do the tricks I taught him, it took him to get hungry for him to stop" Oikawa just laughed and pats his nephew's head, sound asleep still
"Reminds me of old times" he continues

"Like how you fell into a lake twice a week while catching bugs?" She teased sipping her tea

Oikawa just laughed it off "sure, he did fell but not into a lake fortunately"

"You'll be dead if he did, that'll be a whole week of fever"

"Geez, he'll get depressed moments after knowing his favourite uncle is dead"

"You're his only uncle"

"My point still stands"

His sister just chuckled as she gets up and gently lift her sleeping son up to tuck him to bed, it's still 7:30pm they've only done with dinner a while ago but Takeru is already asleep from how tired he is that day

Oikawa wished her goodnight before heading to the guest room. He actually spend the night there pretty often he sometimes goes to school from there, having a whole drawer full of his clothes in that guest room. You can tell how close he is to his little nephew from this, having playdates when he can to bond and get his mind off of things- off of the stress, his failed efforts, maybe Iwaizumi- for a short while

He went to bed not thinking about his problems, he will cut himself some slack and have a normal sleep for once in what seems like forever
