the other itoshi
Oikawa Toru is an extremely skilled volleyball player, who can not help but feel inferior to prodigy's with natural talents and higher skillsets. A boy who loves his sport with his entire being, but can not help but be distressed at the idea of those who surpass hm
thinking about a third itoshi sibling who's like oikawa. a third sibling who fell in love with volleyball at a young age, who couldn't help but put in their all into the sport they love. a third sibling who shows the same ambition that their brothers have with football towards volleyball.
a third sibling who would always be over looked. it's common knowledge that the itoshi family held football prodigies, coming from the great itoshi sae who was so amazing that he went international at such a young age to blue locks number one itoshi rin. why on earth would the family see any value in any other sport?
a third sibling who can't help but be jealous. why does it matter if their siblings are prodigies in football, can people see all the hard work that they put into volleyball? a third sibling who can not help but resent their brothers talent in football. even though they're praised for being so 'highly skilled' in volleyball, they can not help but feel inferior to sae's title as prodigy, or rins higher skillset and natural athletic abilities.
a third sibling who tries to take this feeling of inferiority as motivation to do better. and yet, not matter how many congratulations or awards or games they win, they know that in the eyes of their family, this is nothing. the knowing feeling that no matter how hard they work, how well they improve, how many achievements they receive, that football will always come on top in their family. but, they continue to preserver, for love conquers all battles, and they can not help but love volleyball with all their being.
(a third sibling who can not help but wish. wish that they loved football just as much as their family. then, maybe, they wouldn't feel so alienated. then, maybe, they would be able look into the crowd and see the proud faces of their family. be able to have bonding moments with their brothers who never seem to look at them. maybe their trophies would stand clean and shiny right up there with their brothers instead of lying in the closet collecting dust. but, even if they did love soccer, they know that they would never compare to the shining lights that are their brothers talents. that all they would be was the other itoshi.)
idk if you can tell, but I also kin oikawa, lol. anyways, I might add on, idk
