Oikawa Tooru is not a genius. 

 He’s strong, and determined; he’s skilled and dedicated, but he’s not a genius. He doesn’t possess a natural-born talent.

What he is, though, is an insanely hard worker.

He trains his body every day, pushing himself to the limits of what he can handle. He knows that if he stops for even a day, for even an hour, that he’s going to fall behind one of the young, gifted geniuses clawing at his back.

He refuses to let that happen.

The Aoba Johsai volleyball team practices after school every day, and once on weekends, with the approaching Interhigh tournament. The practices can be tough, but Oikawa likes that about them - and so does the rest of the team. There’s nobody there with any less desire to win, or any less desire to improve. As team captain, he doesn’t accept anything less than the best that the entire team can give.

It’s early in the morning on Saturday when Oikawa makes his way up the steps of their high school for practice. It’s not an official practice day, but the entire team likes to meet up when they can for extra practice. Their coach won’t be here, so it’s endurance training first, making use of the quiet routes around their school before the rest of the city wakes up.

“Slow down, Oikawa,” Iwaizumi gruffs from behind him.

[Preview] 5 Steps to Grief

He knows what this is. Knows just as surely as he knows his own name, or the weight of his fully-formed bayard in the palm of his hand, or the fact that he’ll probably never get to see Earth or his little shack in the desert ever again.

Strangely enough, he finds himself content with this. With knowing his home planet is so far out of reach. The fact of the matter is, Keith never planned on returning to Earth in the first place. He’d hoped, of course, because, while he might not have a family waiting for him like Pidge or Lance or Hunk, Earth is still his home, will always be his home, with all of its good and its bad and all of the other things in between. He’d hoped, but he’d never planned on it. He knows too well what this thing they’re doing out here— this whole ‘defenders of the universe’ thing they’ve had thrust upon them— actually means. Knows this is war, and that they’re on the front lines, and realistically the chances of all of them returning to Earth at the end of this long, messy fight is slim to none. The best they can hope for is having four out of five outlive the fight. And, out of all of them, Keith’s pretty sure his name is near the top of the list for those that don’t make it, mostly due to his impulsive, lone-wolf tendencies and his complete inability to back down from a fight.

So, of course, it’s just his luck that what cements his spot as the paladin that doesn’t make it actually isn’t either of those things, but rather his exceptionally deep bond with the rest of his team. His intrinsic need to keep them all safe.
