"It wasn't easy for me Iwa-chan, you know that?! Why does he act like that?! I didn't do anything, did I?", (Y/n) howled at Iwaizumi, once far away from the gym.

"I know that it wasn't easy for you, you-"

"Exactly! I did not want to consider falling in love with a fake facade! To fall in love with Oikawa Tooru?! I didn't! And you told me, Iwa-chan, you told me that he isn't always fake and rude! I started talking to him?! Why won't he talk to me?!", she interrupted him, feeling her eyes being filled with salty tears.
Iwaizumi had no idea how to respond to everything she had told him, he just patted her back as a sign of comfort.
She was right. She didn't want to get close to Oikawa, at first she ignored him completely, not even sparing him a single glance. She was sure that once she would open up a little more to him, she would, with no doubt and in an instant, fall in love with Oikawa.
She didn't want to have feelings for a fake facade, he was faking his smiles, it wasn't his true character, he was always happy, always so kind, it drove her nuts. She was in no favor of letting her heart get broken by something, by a facade, that wasn't even real.
So she did everything to avoid him, it wasn't very hard, due to him ignoring her, too. She was happy the way it was, until one time, she nearly got to know the real him.
The real Oikawa Tooru.
It was one time where she heard yells coming from the male gym, it was really late and Iwaizumi's voice caught her attention.

"If you get hurt then everything will be pointless! Go stretch, you dumbass!"

"Iwaizumi, I can't loose to Ushijima!", she heard Oikawa's usually enthusiastic voice now cold as he shouted. She didn't understand what he meant, Oikawa was the best setter she knew, she heard many things about his tosses and serves and although she had only seen him play one time, he seemed to be on an higher level than anyone she knew.
Oikawa Tooru was in fact a very talented setter, he analyzed his team and his opponents, knowing their weaknesses and trying to improve everything. He was the perfect setter, good at everything.
But he wasn't gifted. Volleyball was his passion, he wanted nothing more than to be the best setter, he did everything to archive his goal.
He was hardworking.
He had no natural aptitude for volleyball, his skill came from his hard work, his blood, his sweat and his tears.
He aspired to be the best, his cunning nature making him work harder than everyone else on his team.
That was who he was, a hardworking, hopeless dreamer.
He was broken.

"I don't know why he acts like that.", Iwaizumis voice interrupted her thoughts and her flash back.

"It's okay, Iwa-chan.", she reassured him. They walked home together, the silence was unbearable and once (Y/n) got to her house, she hugged Iwaizumi goodbye and went inside.
Her mind was full of thoughts regarding the Grand King, it made her want to throw up and no matter how hard she tried to figure him out, she didn't understand his way of acting.
She felt sorrow thinking about him, she knew that he was the perfect one for her, his cheerful self, his charm. He was everything she ever wanted and more, but she knew that he didn't think of her like that. She knew that she would fall in love with him, his fake character, but he would not even look at her.
And she was right.
She fell in love with the Oikawa everyone loved, the King everyone craved, the King everyone needed. She fell in love with his fake attitude, but she fell in love with the broken male, behind the facade, too. The hardworking, Oikawa Tooru. He was sad, he needed someone and still he wouldn't show how hurt he had been, just not to be a bother to anyone.
He truly was one of a kind.

"Wow, (Y/n), why are you so pretty today?", Suki asked her the next day at school. Seijohs (s/c) splendor, was a graceful girl everyday, everyone looked at her, but that day, she looked even more stunningly gorgeous. She wore her uniform with more accessories, a little more makeup, her (h/c) hair done perfectly to accomplish her gracious face.
That day she wanted to show Oikawa what he had missed and what he could have had. Her captivating beauty attracted all eyes on her, all attention to her and of course the Grand King's attention.
How is she so beautiful? Was all he was thinking, seeing her walk by, all her fanboys were screaming trying to get autographs and fotos with her. The beauty was a very successful setter, playing in some nationals, so it was a rather common thing. She competed with the handsome male.

"Iwa-chan, are we walking home together today?", (Y/n) asked Iwaizumi, remembering the awful event that had happened the day before.

"Of course, I can't let you walk home alone when you're so pretty!", Iwaizumi smiled, earning a hug from her. Oikawa and (Y/n) didn't look at each other and once the day came to an end, the dark haired Ace had come up with an idea.
He would go home and ask Oikawa to walk (Y/n) home, the setter would surely not let her walk home alone at night. The (h/c) one didn't have any practice today, due to the student council, so she would surely go to the gym and expect him to be there.

"Oi, Shittykawa, I can't walk (N/n) home and I don't want her to go alone-"

"No.", Oikawa didn't let him finish.

"Listen, you're so weird when it comes to her and a total asshole! You should apologize because of yesterday, so you gon' do it!", Iwaizumi explained, walking out of the gym. "If you don't, I'll kill you.", the captain thought a lot about what Iwaizumi had told him. He was never the type to be mean to a girl, let alone push her and such things.
He knew why he was so mean to her, but he didn't think that it would affect her.

"Uff Iwa-chan!", Oikawa sighed and continued practicing. Once (Y/n) had finally finished with her tasks it was already dark outside, she made her way to the gym, ready to complain to Iwaizumi about all the things she had to do.

"Iwa-chan you know like i-", she stopped as her eyes caught the sight of boy with the hazel hair. He was currently sweating, there were many volleyballs on the floor and even in that moment he looked like the most handsome man anyone could see.

"Iwa-chan is not here. I'm going to walk you home.", was all he said, after he had collected all the stuff. "Wait for me.", his cheerful attitude vanished and there was the cold Oikawa she knew so well.

"No, I'm gonna go.", she rolled her eyes and walking away. Oikawa gritted his teeth and changed his clothes, to follow her. What's with that attitude? Was all he was thinking, annoyed at her reaction.

"Ufff.", (Y/n) sighed on the other hand. It was dark and she was afraid of something happening to her. Her beauty attracted all kinds of attention and sometimes it wasn't the good kind. It was as if the bad attention she got from some males was a price she had to pay, due to her breathtaking looks. Stupid Oikawa. Were her thoughts while she kept walking.

"Oh hey gorgeous!", and that was when she regretted not letting Oikawa walk her home. She ignored the two men calling out to her, trying not to puke thinking about them.

"I said, hey!", one of them grabbed her wrist, making her gasp and push him away.

"Don't fucking touch me.", she told them, her anger showing. Oikawa was slowly catching up with her and as he saw the two men around her, irritation spread on his face. "Get away from me!", (Y/n) pushed them again, only for them to press her against the wall. She felt helpless, tears forming in her eyes, although she was ready to throw some hands, when a voice interrupted them.

"What are you doing?", all three looked at Oikawa. "(Y/n)-chan, let's go.", he sighed, taking her hand and pulling her away from them. It was the first time he had spoken to her in a normal tone, no annoyance. The men stood in shook at the King's presence, letting them leave. She wiped her tears away and taking some deep breathes. "Are you alright?", she nodded as an answer, feeling his strong, muscular arms around her small form. "It's okay. I was there to protect you.", Oikawa pulled her a little closer for a moment, to calm her down, before continuing their way.

"Thank you.", she whispered, walking beside him. Oikawa didn't let go of her hand, her petit, warm hand that fitted so well with his big, that instant cold hand.

"I told you to wait for me.", he made her look at him.

"I just thought that you shouldn't be bothered.", she decided to leave the part, about him being a total asshole towards her, out.

"Still, I would never let such a beautiful girl walk alone at night.", his generous smile made her gulp, it was warm and so contagious, she smiled back. Why is he so nice all of a sudden? "Look, I wanted to apologize for yesterday. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

"Then explain why you act the way you do, whenever I'm around? Why are you so mean?", she asked him, waiting desperately for an answer.

"You wouldn't understand."

"Explain it, I'll try to understand.", she got angrier.

"No you wouldn't! You and Tobio-chan, you are the same! Forget it! I told you, you wouldn't understand it!", he snapped, taking her aback.

"How am I supposed to understand if you don't explain it?! Shittykawa, you are such trash. And there I thought you were going to change?!", she rolled her eyes, walking to her house and leaving Oikawa alone.

"Fine!", he yelled back, turning around.

And that was when Kagayama Tobio started to play a big role in their love story.
