(Y/N)'s pov

"Hurry up and stick it in"
"I'm trying! This isn't as easy as it looks."

I looked over and saw people bickering and trying to shove a couch into a car. I huffed and kept trotting home.

'Today was a load of drama, mixed with stress, sprinkled with extra embarrassment...'

It so was not my business to step into their conversation like that but she was starting to sound delusional, and last I checked she's not a bird.
'That delusional shit is for the birds' I kicked a rock and continued in a sturdy stroll home.

As I was walking, someone passed me. At first, I was startled because I'm usually the only one to take this route at this time, but then I saw them from the back.

'Is that the love of my life?'  I teased myself.

He was hunched over not aware of his surroundings at all, he had passed the street to his house two blocks ago.
I began to jog after him and just in time too.
HOONNK!! HONK HONK!

Oikawa froze in the middle of the street, I grabbed him and pulled him harshly back to the sidewalk.
"What the hell is wrong with you? Why weren't you paying attention?!" I fussed at him.
He sat there on the ground with his head leaned over.
I sighed and helped him to his feet, I finally got a look a good look at his face. My heart shattered into pieces.

He had no emotion in his face, tears were streaming down his face. Written all over his face was pure melancholy.
I wrapped my arms around his torso and gave him a tight hug.
'It hurts me to see you like this Oikawa'
As I inhaled his cologne he placed his hand on top of my head. I opened my eyes and looked up at him. He smiled and hugged me back. We stayed like that for what felt like only five seconds but I knew it was longer.

He touched his face in confusion. He didn't notice his tears. I had the sudden urge to punch Heather in the face.
"Come on, you're coming to my house for a while" I spoke sternly.
"No, I can't, I shouldn't..."
"You already passed your house two blocks ago"
He looked at the street sign.
"Oh, when did I get to Jeager Street?" he asked.

On the walk back to my house it got colder, and the wind started to pick up. Without even sparing a place in his direction, Oikawa draped his jacket over me.
I looked at him confused.
"You're welcome" he smiled.
'I hope he knows he's not getting this back'
🏐🏐🏐

We arrived at my house and I forced him to sit on the couch while I got some snacks.
'Food is a great way to release your emotions' I smiled to myself as I reached for the milk bread.

I place the bread and water on the round wooden table in front of the green-colored sofa.

Oikawa let out a sigh.
"Thanks for saving me from the car earlier" he spoke softly.
"Of course," I said, zipping up his jacket.
He rested his arm on my side of the sofa behind me and looked me in the eyes.

"Go ahead, tell me what's wrong," I said.
He pouted.
"I'm not ok (Y/N). I have this heavy pain in my chest that I can't get rid of and it's messing with my performance. I can't afford to not be there for my team, they're counting on me." he gloomily said. "I know I was wrong when I chose volleyball over Heather but today I really wasn't... She screamed at me before I even finished my sentence. She never really did understand me when it came to volleyball, I tried to tell her."

"First off, it's called heartbreak. It's only natural that a casanova like you isn't familiar with that pain." I said.

"Casanova or not I think I can tell if my own heart is broken. " He replied.

"Not exactly Oikawa, you wouldn't know because you're the one always doing the damage."

-Silence-

I reached for his milk bread and handed it to him, he mumbled a soft 'thank you'.

"You both were in the wrong" I broke the silence.
He looked at me with confusion.

"What I mean is, you both were wrong. Heather wanted you to care about her and only her. She wanted you to quit volleyball altogether... But then again you did neglect her, which isn't like you."

I wanted to tell him what happened last year between Heather and me but, he probably still wouldn't believe me.

"I chose volleyball over her on purpose" he spoke with his mouth half full.

"What? Why? You've liked her since the first year and when you get her... I don't think I understand." I said puzzled.

"She cheated on me," he said blandly.
"More than once." he shrugged.

"YOU KNEW?!" I said in awe.

"Well yeah, my 'fan base' came to me whenever they saw her with someone else. At first, I didn't pay it no mind, I thought they were envious."

I stayed quiet and listened carefully.
'Yes, spill the tea, love'

"But when they started coming to me with pictures, I didn't know what to believe, for all I know they could have been photoshopped."

I stayed silent debating the words sitting on the tip of my tongue.

"(Y/N), you look like you have something you wanna tell me" he spoke softly. "See ever since middle school, you've always been easy to read," he said as he took another bite.
I opened my mouth to protest but closed it again, the 'easy to read' part can wait.

"Well I- I don't know how to say this but... The week you and Heather got together... She um, she was with her ex...." I looked around the room trying to find something to distract me.
"She what?" he asked distraught.

I continued to tell him what happened that day and all he could do was look at me in awe.
Tears started welling up in his eyes.

I grabbed him and held his head on my chest, telling him how sorry I was. He wrapped his arms around me not saying a word. We stayed in that position for a while.
I pulled away once the sniffling settled down.

He took a sip of water and some deep breaths.
"When I'm on the court I feel like myself... I can erase all my problems and focus on what's in front of me. It's... who I am."
His eyes were red and puffy from all the crying. I began to get frustrated again.

"Exactly, so you shouldn't stop doing what you love for one person. The right one will come along and support you no matter what, they'll be loyal to the great king and no one else. You're Tōru Oikawa dammit, you can't let this stop you from doing what you need to do." I encouraged.

"Thanks (Y/N), I needed that." He sighed.
"But what's a king without his queen?" he barely spoke.
"Huh?" I asked confused.
He shook his head.
"Nothing, it's just something I heard in a song once," he said quietly.
I looked at him enamored.

"I can be your Queen Oikawa," I said softly.
I realized what I had said, my eyes grew wide.

"UH UM I MEAN NOT LIKE THAT BUT LIKE AS IN IF YOU NEED ANYONE ILL BE THERE AND DO THINGS AND S-STUFF" I blurted out.

He started chucking at me again as I facepalmed regretting all the word vomit.

"Ahaha yeah ok (Y/N), I think I would like that." He said with his signature smile.

My heart skipped a beat, but this time it felt giddy...

'What did I just sign up for?'
