⸻ "[NAME], WILL YOU MARRY ME?" takeru cried out, his arms wrapped around the young womans leg with his knees placed upon the ground. his head dug into her thigh, fingers clawing against the material of her pants.

[name] giggled softly, her hand falling to the young boy's head, gently rubbing it with a smile. "maybe when you're older, takeru." she smiled down at him, watching as he parted from her leg and stared up with a blush and a sheepish grin before running off to her little brother.

oikawa had rolled his eyes, hands falling into his jacket pocket as he stood off to the side, watching parents come in and out to pick up their child from the gymnasium. the chocolate brown eyed male leaned his head against the closed up bleached, letting out a sigh of both exhaustion and relief that the day was close to ending.

his head turn, sight lingering to the [hair color] haired highschool graduate that was casually indulging in a conversation with one of the young boys on the youth volleyball team. he smiled to himself when the young boy hugged her before running off to his parents, [name] waving him and his family goodbye.

oikawa groaning, moving his hands go his face. he slid his palms down, his cheeks moving harshly with his movements as he pushed himself off the bleachers to stand up straight.

god, how he wanted such feelings to end, how he wanted to go back to when every girl was chasing after him and the attention of one female wasn't making his heart nearly beat out of it's chest.

"tooru!"

he turned, eyes landing on his older sister that was frantically waving as she entered the gymnasium, takeru running towards his mother happily. oikawa sighed, hands moving back into his pockets as he walked over nonchalantly, as if he wasn't just staring at his sister's neighbor.

as he approached, the young [hair color] haired woman had ran over, her arms wrapping around the older woman happily with a squeal coming from the both of them.

"oh my god, look how big you've gotten! how long has it been? a year, right? how was your last year at boarding school?"

oikawa's eyes had widened, stopping in his tracks. boarding school? that's why he had never seen her before.

"it was great!" [name] squealed, pulling away from the hug that she wouldn't admit was slowly cutting her air supply, "when i came back for the summer, i instantly knocked on your door, but i saw your brother! he was telling me that you were out on business and he had to babysit takeru!"

takeru blushed once again, hearing [name] say his name making his heart do front flips inside his chest as he hid behind his mother he hadn't seen in some time.

"you have my number! why didn't you tell me you came back?" oikawa's sister cried out, crossing her arms and frowning at the younger woman before her.

[name] grinned, "i wanted to surprise you!"

oikawa stared, listening from only a foot away to their conversation that seemed to echo throughout the entire gymnasium. he had recalled the day [name] had knocked on his sister's door, disrupting that video game the male was playing with his nephew- resulting in the death of his character.

he remembered opening the door and at the sound of her voice, takeru had ran to where the two stood and jumped onto her.

oikawa sighed at the memory, his hand moving to his brown locks as he waited for his sister to notice that he wasn't too far away so that he too could get some older sister attention.

"tooru, i didn't notice you were right there, come give me a hug!"

oikawa smiled, approaching his older sister who's arms were wide open for him, the graduate walking right into her arms and placing his head on her shoulder. his arms wrapped around her waist, pulling her into the hug as the both stood their for a moment.

"i missed you, kiddo," the older woman happily spoke, pulling away from the hug. her hand moved to her younger siblings hair, ruffling it softly and watched as a lock fell to his forehead and made him groan, "i see you met my pride and joy, [name]."

the brown haired coach scoffed sarcastically, crossing his arms yet again and glancing at the teenage girl next to him quickly, "your pride and joy?"

[name] giggled, placing her hand on oikawa's shoulder, causing him to freeze. "don't be jealous, oikawa! tadame used to babysit me when i was in middle school all the time!"

oikawa frowned, "i'm not jealous."

"yes you are!"

"why would i be jealous that my annoying sister gives all her attention to her childish neighbor?" oikawa retaliated, smirking at the two girls who gasped at the insults.

"for your information, this annoying sister bought you some alien shirts, but i guess i'll give them to my childish neighbor instead!"
