Chapter Text
"Tobio, do we have to go out tonight?" You look over to your best friend, Kageyama Tobio. The two of you exiting from the university campus. "I don't want to go either so that's why you're coming with me."
"But...I don't know anyone from your group of high school friends." You slow your footsteps, crossing your arms. "You would've if you went to more of my games." Kageyama retorts, pulling away your crossed arms. "I had other things to do than watch a bunch of guys run around for a ball." Exhaling, you continue to walk with Kageyama. The two of you enter the busy streets of Tokyo during the five o'clock rush hour. "Volleyball is more than that Y/N." Kageyama corrects you.
"Sure." You say sarcastically, a small smile on your face. "You love volleyball more than me. I get it." Kageyama goes quiet from your words, he bites his lip. You steer the topic back to tonight's get together. "So who exactly will be there? Any girls?" You're careful to not bump into anyone's shoulder while the two of you cross the street. "Kiyoko and Yachi will be there." You brighten when you hear their names. "Are they still with their boyfriends? What were their names again..."
"Tanaka and Hinata." Kageyama answers, he shakes his head at your horrible memorizing skills. "Yeah! Them. Is everyone there from our high school or...?" Kageyama takes a right turn and you follow after him. "I think a few guys from the other schools will be there."
"And what are we meeting up for again?"
Kageyama pulls your cheek lightly. "You ask way too many questions Y/N." Your hand slaps Kageyama's hand away, your brows furrowing together. "You expect me to not question you and obediently follow you?"
"Yeah." Kageyama flashes a smirk your way. "In your dreams Tobio. Unlike everyone else, I can handle you. Don't try me. I have so much dirt on you from our childhood." A devilish smile forms on your face when you wink towards Kageyama. "Did you also blackmail your ex's?" Kageyama jabs right back at you. You give him a quick nudge. "Shut up. Those idiots don't know what they lost."
"Now I'm stuck with you." Kageyama sarcastically sighs. "I hate you." You turn around, pretending to leave him alone. Kageyama grabs onto the strap of your purse and pulls you back. "No you don't. I'm the only friend you have so you can't hate me for long." Kageyama's blue eyes look into your e/c eyes. Lowering your eyes from Kageyama, you turn back around and continue to follow him. He opens the door to one of many izakaya's that line the restaurant strip. You start to feel slightly nervous. "Are you sure you need me here?" You mumble next to Kageyama who's looking for any familiar face.
"Are you chickening out on me?" Kageyama spots Hinata's brightly colored orange hair. His hand grabs onto your wrist so you can't escape. "Just drink a few beers and relax Y/N."
"A few? Dumbass I'm a light weight." You grumble, being pulled by him. "I know." Kageyama wears a small smirk before he returns to his eye piercing resting face. "Kageyama!" Hinata turns around to see him, a wide smile on his face. "What took you so long?" Hinata's eyes flick over to you. "She looks familiar..." Hinata tilts his head, staring intensely at you. "Stop, you'll make her want leave even more than she wants to if you stare at her." Kageyama uses his other hand to block Hinata's eyes.
"Y/L/N?" Kiyoko calls out to you, she sits across from Hinata. "Kiyoko!" You cheerfully say her name. "Did you get even more beautiful since we last seen each other?" Kiyoko smiles from your compliment, "I think you have."
"Yet she has trouble staying in a relationship." Kageyama slickly speaks. Your brows furrow again and you pull your wrist away from Kageyama. "Says the guy who's also single." You snap back before sitting down. Kageyama takes a seat by Hinata. "Looks like Y/L/N is still the only one who can clap back at Kageyama." Yachi speaks up from beside Hinata. You wave towards Yachi and greet Kiyoko's boyfriend, Tanaka. "So where is everyone else?" Kageyama notices several empty seats.
"Our seniors couldn't make it since they're held back at work. Noya is running late. Tsukishima says he has more important things to do. Yamaguchi is behind on classwork." Hinata takes a swig of his pint of beer. "I believe Oikawa and Iwaizumi will be coming by." Tanaka comments in. Kageyama stiffens from the name Oikawa. "Isn't Oikawa your rival, Tobio?" Kageyama darts his eyes towards a plate of shrimp tempura that sits on the table and shoves one in your mouth. "Shut up Y/N." Kageyama grumbles at you. You munch on the shrimp tempura, your laughter muffled.
Hinata perks up at the sound of Oikawa being Kageyama's rival. "So he IS your rival, Kageyama." Hinata grins widely with his new found knowledge. You're the one to receive Kageyama's deathly glare. Lucky for you, it has no effect on you.
"Who's Kageyama's rival?" A cheerful voice speaks from behind you. There you see two new faces. A rather tall six foot guy with swept dark brown hair and eyes greets everyone. The guy beside him is a bit shorter by 2 inches, his hair a spiky dark brown. "Ka-" Yachi covers Hinata's mouth with her hand, greeting Oikawa and Iwaizumi. "Sit down you two." Oikawa makes eye contact with you and notices the empty seat beside you, he settles himself next to you. "I don't think I've seen you before." Oikawa easily smiles towards you. You sense a flirtatious personality the moment he turns his attention towards you.
"And you won't after today." Kageyama cuts into the conversation. "I don't need a guy like you hanging around Y/N." Oikawa turns his gaze over to Kageyama, a Cheshire like smile on his face. "Why is that? Is she your girlfriend Kageyama?"
"As if." You answer for Kageyama. Your eyes steady on Oikawa's dark brown eyes. Oikawa seems amused by your response, his eyebrows raising. "Where's the server...I need alcohol to shut you up." Kageyama pinches your ear, waving his hand to call over a server. You turn your attention back to Kageyama, feeling Oikawa's eyes still on you. The group decides to order a few more dishes and beer. Nishinoya arrives not long after and joins the group. Surprisingly, you didn't hate your time with Kageyama's group. You're used to spending a lot of time by yourself so this is a nice change of pace.
The night drags on and the beers keep on coming. The alcohol didn't fully hit you until your fourth one. Majority of the night you find yourself speaking to Oikawa. The main topic is Kageyama.
"Wait, so you're telling me Kageyama was actually a crybaby when he was younger?" Oikawa's laughter echoes in your ear. You slowly nod your head, giggling. "What the fuck are you two talking about?" Kageyama's words slur. Being intoxicated, you're feeling much bolder than usual. You cup Kageyama's face with your hands, squeezing his face together. "About how you're a crybaby." You speak in a high pitch tone, giggling at Kageyama's squished face. Kageyama widens his eyes, cheeks turning pink. He knits his brows together, grabbing hold of your hands.
"You never know when to be quiet Y/N." Kageyama starts to lecture you but you whine, pulling your hands away from him. "All you do is lecture me Tobio! No matter what I say, you lecture me." Your words loosely fall and you feel yourself act childish. "Even when I came to you crying my eyes out, you never sided with me. How is it my fault that those guys cheated on me for some whore?!" You raise your voice, feeling tears sting your eyes. Kageyama stiffens when he sees Y/N act up. The others overhear her tantrum and turn their eyes over to Y/L/N.
"Some friend you are Kageyama." Oikawa mutters behind you. "Stop talking Y/N. You're going to embarrass the both of us." Kageyama glares at you.
This one time Kageyama's glare hurts you. "You can only think about yourself Tobio." You say between clench. You fumble your hands in your purse to grab loose cash, slamming it on the table before running out of the izakaya. "Fuck." Kageyama hurries to get up but Oikawa places a hand on Kageyama's shoulder, pushing him back down. "She's in no mood to see you Kageyama. I'll go after her." Oikawa pulls out his wallet and tosses a few bills on the table. "I don't trust you Oikawa." Kageyama reaches for Oikawa's wrist but Oikawa swiftly moves out the way.
"I don't have time to talk to you Kageyama. Y/L/N is out there drunk and crying." Oikawa hurries out of the izakaya. His eyes dart around the busy night street and notices Y/L/N squatting down off to the side of the sidewalk.
You hide your tearstained face with your palms. Your heart aching and your mind frustrated by Kageyama. Oikawa silently squats in front of you, his fingers stroke your hair. "Y/L/N, you shouldn't cry out here by yourself." You slowly pull your hands away from your face and look up. You're greeted by Oikawa's dark brown eyes, he wears a small smile. The way he strokes your hair makes you ache for the attention you've been wanting months after your break up. "Do you live close by? I'll take you home."
You shake your head. "It's too late for me to catch the last train." Oikawa wipes your tears away and helps you up. "I don't live too far from here. You can crash at my place until tomorrow morning." You hesitate to take his offer but with the alcohol in your system, you want nothing more than be comforted by someone as handsome as Oikawa. You whisper out an okay. Oikawa smiles at your response, interlocking his fingers with yours. "You can lean on me tonight Y/L/N." His words gives you comfort and you're easily pulled away by Oikawa.
