Graduation was inching closer by the day, and Oikawa seemed to have things figured out; but did you have a place in any of his plans?
Staying back late was nothing new for you - only part of what it meant to be the team manager. Tossing a ball into its cart, you rolled it back into the storage room with Oikawa following close behind, rolling the other.
"It's already all over, huh?"
"Right.." Your voice trailed off as you counted the balls one last time to make sure none were missing. Even after so long together, he wasn’t always been the most open person, often hiding things and telling you at the last minute. Though, one thing he made sure to tell you, was what he wanted to do after graduating.
But you didn’t have the heart to question your presence in his plans, not after you saw the excitement in his eyes while he explained things to you.
It was hard to decide whether asking at this point would sound selfish of you or not.
He stood at the entrance to the storage room, holding one of the door handles. Sure, he wasn’t the most open, but he definitely expected you to be. You could feel his gaze practically piercing your back; literally staring into you.
“You’re hiding something, aren’t you?”
Turning around, you couldn’t say you were completely surprised that he’d noticed.
“What do you mean?” Nevertheless, you tried to play it off.
“Don’t play dumb, I can tell. You’re like an open book.” Straight forward and confrontational as he was, you knew that it wasn’t supposed to be an insult.
The worry of sounding selfish still plagued your thoughts. You knew he wouldn’t think that of you, but still..
“You’re going to make me guess, aren’t you?” He sighed.
“No.. It’s just, I’m not sure how you’d react.”
“Seriously? That’s seriously your reason?”
“Okay, well..” You braced yourself before speaking. “..Do you find me selfish?”
“That’s what you’re worrying about?!”
“Just answer me!”
“Of course I don’t!”
All this banter made you feel as though you really had nothing to worry about. It was funny how easily he could make you forget about small, trivial matters like these.
But you had to get this over and done with. After all, if he really did end up slipping from your grasp, you’d never be able to forget the way you dealt with this situation.
You took a seat on one of the foam mats, bringing your knees up to your chin. He remained standing where he was, arms crossed as he waited for you to speak.
Your tone shifted, concern lacing your voice. “I’m worried.”
“About?”
“..Us.”
Silence fell between the two of you as his eyes widened at your response. He stepped forward, crouching down in front of you.
Averting your gaze, you dipped your head further into your knees. “After you graduate, leave for training, get signed to a team..” Your voice, muffled by the fabric of your pants began to crack. “Are you going to forget about me?”
You somehow managed to say it, and oh did it feel terrible. He was about to move on in his life, to be in the spotlight that he’d never seen before, and here you were wondering something so trivial.
So what were you still doing here? Wallowing in worry, your body gently quivering with each weak sob. If your face wasn’t streaked with tears, you’d probably had run off by now; but that wasn’t a choice anymore.
Suddenly, a hand reached over to your shoulder; it’s grasp gentle and warm.
“Come on, this isn’t like you at all.” His tone was softer, his voice gentle, careful not to hurt you. “Let me see your face.” You slowly lifted your head, embarrassed by how disheveled it probably was.
“There you are.” He wiped the stray tears off your face using the sleeves of his jacket.
“Now, what makes you think I’d forget about your pretty face?” His eyes were soft, fostering a sense of peace in this less than pleasant situation you’d put yourself in. “You know you’re coming with me, right? It’s a given.”
“Huh? But why didn’t you..”
“Why didn’t I mention it? Don’t be silly, because it goes without saying! I’m not going without you.”
You really did feel stupid. It wasn’t like he’d ever left you in the dark or made you worry. Here he was, dismantling your worries, assuring you that everything would be okay and that he’d never leave you.
“Now I don’t want you worrying about something like that again!” He scolded. “You made me so worried, I thought you were going to drop a bombshell on me or something..”
You laughed, voice still slightly strained from the tears. And with that, he helped you up; the two of you leaving the gymnasium together.
