> But you're different. My heart beats faster around you.
Oikawa said with a faint blush on his face, looking away in embarrassment. The motion was so unlike him Shigeru visibly flinched, but fortunately he couldn’t see it. If he could, it would ruin everything.
> There are many people looking at me everywhere I go, but it’s only you making me feel this way.
There were the words that Shigeru desperately wanted Oikawa to say almost the whole highschool, but hearing them now only left a foul taste in his mouth, guilt weighing him down. It wasn’t satisfying at all. The pitch of the voice was a tad too low, the hair a bit too dark and swept the wrong way, the phrasing too strange and the words out of character. But it was the best Shigeru had.
He could hear someone outside of his room and he leapt to turn off his desk lamp. His room was plunged into darkness for a second, illuminated only by a computer screen, before the light in the hallway got turned on and casted a faint ray into his bedroom through the narrow gap under his door. Shigeru stilled, anticipating someone entering and telling him to go to sleep, and relaxed only after hearing the door to the bathroom close.
Oikawa was not at all deterred by his prolonged silence and continued to stand motionlessly, waiting. Shigeru signaled him to go on.
> I doubted it… You never treated me like all these other girls had, so I thought you didn’t like me back. But I thought I couldn’t give up just like this, so I want to take the chance right now.
Shigeru closed his eyes and didn’t dare open them, as he clicked enter.

“Ah, Yahaba-chan!” Oikawa called, lifting his head from his bag, as he heard him enter. “Do you want something?”
“Yes, actually. I was looking for you,” Shigeru said.
Oikawa stood up and turned around to face him, waiting for him to speak. He took a deep breath. He had played countless scenarios of his confession before and he was certain that nothing Oikawa could say to him would surprise him. He didn’t fear the consequences, if he got rejected they wouldn’t need to see each other again, after Oikawa left. He opened his mouth.
“I… had a question about captaincy.”

> Would you go out with me?
> Yes! I thought you’d never ask. > Actually there’s someone else I like. I’m sorry.
