I can dim the lights and sing you songs
full of sad things,
we can do the tango just for two
I can serenade and gently play
on your heartstrings,
be a Valentino just for you

to say that Oikawa was very persistent when it came to getting you as his girlfriend is a must. you caught the setters eye on the first day when you entered aoba johsai as a first-year and you've been stuck in his eye ever since. he was the first one to approach you outside your class and let's say that you were very shocked at that time. of course, you knew who he is, how could you not? the volleyball team was after all one of the reasons why you came to aoba johsai in the first place.

"(l/n) (y/n), right? i'm Oikawa Tooru!" your eyes widened once the cold chocolate eyes pierced through you and your brain couldn't think of a proper answer. "how has your first day been, (l/n)~chan?" he smiled at you and your heart exploded, making you a total blushing mess.

"uh-i...it has been nice, i am, um..trying to figure out which club to join." you stuttered out and pressed the notebooks closer to your chest. Oikawa's eyes gleamed and a little bit of that energy passed on to you.

"why don't you join the volleyball club as a manager! i am the team's captain and setter, i could help you out!" he beamed at you and you turned your head the opposite way to hide your blush. of course you knew he is the setter and the captain when he was the reason why you came here.

"t-that...that's a good idea, Oikawa~san."

ooh love,
ooh lover boy!
what're you doin' tonight?
ooh hey boy!
set my alarm, turn on my charms,
that's because I'm a good old fashioned lover boy

you didn't tell Oikawa that you came to aoba johsai because of him but you really did join the volleyball team as a manager. everyone was nice to you, including the scary third years in your eyes, or your fellow first years. 

Oikawa didn't even realize it, but he became the closest one to you. that was off limits for you, however. you did have a crush on him, a big one really, but who didn't? you didn't want to distract him, become a burden to him. you just wanted to help him achieve his dream, so you did what you could as the team manager, declining everything else from him.

"(l/n)~chan! the team is going out to eat after practice, do you want to join us?" you jumped up a bit at the sudden appearance of the setter behind you outside the gym after practice. did you want to? of course. was it a good idea? not really.

"i-i'm sorry, Oikawa~san. i have...uh, a lot of homework to finish. m-maybe next time?" you hated yourself for stuttering so much but it didn't uncover your lie since you stuttered on the daily basis in front of Oikawa. his heart fell on your reply but he flashed you one of his smiles.

"sure thing. next time, (l/n)~chan."

ooh, let me feel your heartbeat
grow faster, faster
ooh, can you feel my love heat?
come on and sit on my hot seat of love
and tell me how do you feel right after all
I'd like for you and I to go romancing,
say the word, your wish is my command

the team stuffed themselves in a booth and waited for their food to be done. the first years were chatting together and everyone seemed to be talking on different topics. Oikawa had his phone in his hand with the chat of you and him opened, his fingers ghosting over the keyboard. what was he going to text you anyway? good luck with homework? embarrassing.

"you like (l/n)." Iwaizumi suddenly interrupted him, scaring Oikawa that he almost dropped his phone in his drink.

"what are you talking about?" Oikawa hissed at him but Iwaizumi just tiled his head and raised his eyebrow.

"that wasn't a question, i am telling you because you are too stupid to realize it." Iwaizumi shrugged and suddenly, the attention of the whole team was on their cocky setter and captain. his cheeks flushed in crismon and he quickly hid his phone in his pocket.

"i don't!" he protested like the manchild he is and crossed his arms on his chest. the whole team sighed, some of the giving up straight from the beginning. "besides, she keeps declining me all the time..." after that, Iwaizumi straight up chopped him on his head, making Oikawa whine in pain. "what did you do that for, Iwa~chan?"

"because there's no other way than to punch some sense into you."

ooh love,
ooh lover boy!
what're you doin' tonight?
ooh hey boy!
write my letter, feel much better
and use my fancy patter on the telephone

to say that Oikawa wasn't a love freak would be the biggest lie. he loved romance, he was a sucker for it, a lover boy through and through. so why didn't he choose a girlfriend among the many fans he had?

because none of them loved him. they adored him, looked up to him, made him perfect.

which he wasn't.

he was a human being just like anyone else. you knew that. he had feelings, you knew that as well. but what you didn't know was that you were hurting those feelings of his by distancing yourself from him. he thought you hated him because of that constant uneasiness you were radiating whenever he came close to you.

if only he knew it was the other way around.

when I'm not with you,
I think of you always
I miss those long hot summer nights

it started raining by the time you got home. it was raining outside and on your cheeks as well. you didn't even realize you were crying. it hurt you so much to push yourself away. your heart was cracking. you loved his smile, his passion, the special attention he gave you. he became your best friend and you didn't want to lose that.

when I'm not with you,
think of me always
love you,
love you...

Oikawa arrived home completely drenched. cold water was dripping down from his brown hair. he was cold and trembling so he took a long hot shower to get warm and relax himself. he couldn't get Iwaizumi's words out of his head. he felt like a magnet was pulling him towards you since the first day he saw you. he loved spending time with you, he found your stuttering astronomically cute. how you nibled on the tip of the pencil while taking notes during practice. how you didn't pay attention to the loose strands of your (h/c) hair whenever you were concentrated. oh how he wanted to fix it behind your ear whenever it happened.

it felt as if Iwaizumi's punch got to him just now. maybe he really is in love with you.

hey boy, where do you get it from?
hey boy, where did you go?
I learned my passion in the good old fashioned school of lover boys

everyone had to jump away as Oikawa sprinted through the halls towards the lockers. it would be a deadly injury if anyone dared to stand in his way. he sped up even more once he saw you by your locked, putting your umbrella inside and taking off your bright (f/c) raincoat. he was determined to do it, but once he saw you, he felt like the air got sucked out of his lungs.

how your (h/c) nicely hugged your shoulders. the little butterfly earrings you wore every single day. he even knew about the little heart tattoo you had on your wrist, not such a good shy girl after all. 

"good morning, Oikawa~san!" you beamed at him with a completely different energy than last time. he felt like Oikawa.exe has stopped working. 

"i, uh...(l/n)~chan, i..-" he felt like a caveman, unable to speak and sadly, the bell cut him off. you giggled at his behavior, this being a completely new side of him.

"i gotta go, i'll see you at practice!" you smiled and walked past him where you met with one of your classmates to walk to your class together. Oikawa then sighed and rubbed his face while sliding down on the floor with his back pressed against the lockers.

"yeah, see you then."

dining at the ritz,
we'll meet at nine precisely
I will pay the bill, you taste the wine
driving back in style,
in my saloon will do quite nicely
just take me back to yours that will be fine

"hey guys! do you mind if i leave before cleanup? my mom needs me home early." you asked sheepishly right when you entered the gym and saw the boys stretching.

"no problem, (l/n). you do so much for the team already." Iwaizumi told you and you thanked them before walking to the storage room to get the balls out. 

Oikawa was completely out of it. he kept stealing glances at you whenever you were writing something down, he even let a ball hit his head when he forgot to set it for Iwaizumi. the team was sick of it at this point so they all just wished for the practice to be over.

once the freeing hour came, they all started to collect the balls and mop while you handed your notes to the coach and were about to leave.

"see you tomorrow!" you waved at everyone from the doorframe and then exited the gym. Oikawa's heart cracked and he sulked once your aroma was gone. Iwaizumi wasted no time to kick him outside the gym towards you. that was pretty much the only kick he needed. he saw you walking towards the school gate and he sprinted towards you the same way he did in the morning, only this time he knew exactly what he's going to do.

"(l/n) (y/n)!" he yelled at the top of his lungs and by the time you turned around, his body was already pressed to yours, same as his lips on top of yours. your eyes widened at his cold lips meeting yours in a passionate kiss, he made it even deeper with his hands on your hips, pressing on them firmly and pulling you closer. your cheeks felt like burning but your heart started beating rapidly. you wrapped your arms around his neck and tangled your fingers in his hair, finally returning the kiss. he smiled in the kiss and so did you.

"this is what you wanted to tell me in the morning?" you asked once you pulled away and he pressed his forehead on yours, just humming in response.

"i will never let you go, you're stuck with me and i don't want to hear any excuses." he protested like a child, making you giggle again. the whole team watched you two from the gym, even the coach was a secret fan of the pair. they were just happy for them, that they both sorted things out and finally got together.

"whatever you say, lover boy."

ooh love,
there he goes again
just like a good old fashioned lover boy
ooh lover boy!
what're you doin tonight?
ooh hey boy!
everything's alright, just hold on tight
that's because I'm a good old fashioned
fashioned
lover boy!
