// AEONIAN: Oikawa Toru x Reader //
Life does not end when high school does. You knew that.
But that does not make it easier - the testing, the schedules, the burnout. That's not to mention the responsibilities of extra activities, the constant socialization, the chores at home. All of that, and it still has not mentioned what you chose to do for your own club.
Because yes, you chose this. Sometimes it's hard to remember that.
Right now, as other students worry about their test in the morning, how they can make it look like they didn't cheat on their homework, and how to coast by in their worst subject, this was your world: the squeak of sneakers, the blowing of whistles, the chants of the crowd and the shouts of the players, the slamming of the volleyball against the wooden floor.
Right now, this was your world.
In the morning you'd have to worry about your test, your homework, and the class you dreaded.
But for right now, this was your world. Making it through this tournament, then to nationals... that mattered.
Life does not end when high school does. But then, why does it seem so important to get to Nationals before the end of high school? You knew why. He was the reason. He wanted it more than anything - and so to that end, you would do all you could to get the team there.

Welcome to Aeonian! This story takes place in the world of Haikyu. This is an xReader story. I utilize she/her pronouns, and on occasion refer to having hair - but that is the extent of physical descriptions. Don't expect a perfect representation of Japan, or school life there - I don't live there. But I'll do my best to make it realistic! I will not use honorifics, other than for Oikawa's nicknames that use -chan. This story does feature mature content but ONLY when the characters are of age, and features SPOILERS. Please, enjoy!
"Apparently I'm not good enough for her!"
"Bullshit! She fucking loves you and you go do the one thing you promised you wouldn't do! Hurt her!"
"Because she loves that toxic Fucker! She chose him over me! She alway will!"
(Your Full Name) is the first born out of her cousins and siblings. She had a lot of expectations to uphold and the heroic image to maintain. She has a will to help others instead of watching them get hurt but that just put more pressure on her.
She's suffering from a past that's forever going to hunt her but has a mind that's trying to protect her.
Going to Japan, to Aoba Johsai was meant to be an escape for her. A chance to forget and move on...
Toru Oikawa, a man who's very popular and known very well. Star player of the male's volleyball team. The girls are crazy over him and he's known as a playboy but he grows a little interest in his quiet classmate when he accidentally hit a volleyball in her direction.
Oikawa never dealt well with rejection and (Name) is not the girl everyone thinks she is.
"I'm not good enough."
"There's alway going to be someone better. You just have to learn that your enough is more than enough. As long as you have tried and did your best, well, that's more than enough in my book and I'm proud of you."
[WARNING: Angst (mostly towards the end but decided to put it as a warning as many thought this would be a very happy story(but also because apparently no one reads the tags))]
