synopsis: oikawa finds a diamond in the rough.
Find light in the beautiful sea, I choose to be happy
he has often passed you in the crowed hallways of seijoh. It was rather hard to miss you actually, you were the schoolās gem child. You were so innocent and naive to the rumors that people spread about you, they were far from negative but rumors nonetheless. People often spoke of how you and oikawa would make such a good couple (this was much to to the dismay of his fan girls) while oikawa had given it thought; he decided that his passion for volleyball should come first. He couldnāt deny that you were gorgeous - a simple smile from you was enough to light up a room, to have everyone in the room fawn for you, to worship the ground you step on. but it wasnāt enough to simply disregard years of hard work.
You're a shooting star I see, a vision of ecstasy
When you hold me, I'm alive
Weāre like diamonds in the sky
The first real interaction the two of you had was during your second year, the idiot himself had over worked himself despite knowing the consequences of doing so and it just so happened to be that you were a student nurse, you helped patch up the unlucky souls who ended up in the nurses office in exchange for extra credit in health and social care. It was awkward at first. But you, being the social butterfly you were, saw this as a great opportunity to start a conversation with the skilled setter as you held on him, aiding softly to his damaged knee. From what had started out as breathless silence had blossomed into a symphony of giggles and poorly-hidden guffaws.
I knew that we'd become one right away
After multiple visits from Oikawa due to his unnerving tendencies, a friendship had sprouted between the two of you. bringing him bentos,water and making sure he didnāt overwork himself had become a regular occurrence and at the your the beginning of your daily rounds the team had actually believed you to be a overly persistent fan girl or his girlfriend perhaps - all the while Iwaizumi had already known but cared all too little to inform his team of utter idiots.
At first sight I felt the energy of sun rays
I saw the life inside your eyes
Oikawa couldāve sworn he saw genuine rays of pure sunlight beaming from your smile when youād come to visit the team, eventuallyĀ he fell victim to your love, devouring him whole as his every thought, breath and smile fell into orbit, revolving around you, the sun that paved a way through his life. It took him a while to come terms with his feelings.Though we was no stranger to the emotion itself, he had a girlfriend not to long a go actually, however what pained him was the break up that followed, caused ultimately by the bad habits that led him to you. Those same bad habits fueled his insecurities when it came to thinking about you. But alas the time has come for your 3rd year winter formal, and you (never being one for stereotypes) had decided to ask out the resident pretty setter to the event. But even a glimmering jewel has its doubts, heart thumping as you asked him, heart thumping even louder when he accepted. Little did you know about the box of chocolates and bouquet of roses in his locker with your name on them.
Arms linked you waltzed into the venue, already drunk off eachothers presence. While he wouldnāt admit it anytime soon, TÅru was pretty much sure his heart had stopped beating when you had met him outside your house. His infatuation with you grew tenfold every time he glanced at you, ā beautiful inside and outā were the only words swimming through his mind that night. Upon entry the gentlemanās friends had greeted you, your own not to far off as you waved joyously to them. The night was well spent, giggling amongst the group that towered over you.
Slow dancing, that was the moment you dreaded the most, āwhat if you couldnāt dance, or stepped on his foot?!ā you would probably just drown yourself in the punch bowl right there and then. Noticing you concern, the young man grabbed you hand and led you to the dance floor, so as your head lay on his chest while his arms lay loosely against your hips with yours around his neck and on his chest, you breath in the smokey scent of his cologne. You make no hesitation in basking in his everlasting beauty though as you fall deeper and deeper into to your daydream, you fail to notice they way he looks back down at you, you fail to notice the way he slowly takes your chin in his hand and bends down until the moment he asks ā can i?ā, dazed from you day dream and the close proximity between the two of you, you nod feverishly.
The feeling of his lips against yours was truly ethereal, the saccharine of his lips mixed with the raw emotion led your hand to his hair. You combed through it slightly, twirling it between your fingers.
He rejoices for he has found his diamond in the rough.
