A/N: Hi there! Thanks for checking this out, see the end for more notes! Enjoy!

All in all, Tooru Oikawa's life kind of sucked. Except for volleyball and maybe Iwaizumi when he wasn't being mean and calling him names. Most people would think that he had it all, what with the girls lining up just for the chance to talk to him. Honestly, it was sort of, kind of, really annoying.

More so because he didn't like any of them. Although that may be in part because he was too busy admiring the cute orange-haired boy on the other side of the court, even as the ball was shot down before his own team's libero could receive it.

No. That was not the reason at all.

"Shittykawa!" That was Iwaizumi.

Oikawa turned, smile in place. That was probably a mistake, because it seemed to make Iwaizumi more temperamental than before.

"Get your head in the game already and stop day dreaming damn it!" No really, he was pleasant sometimes. If one took into account when he was sleeping and not yelling at Oikawa for some reason or another.

"Iwaizumi!" Oikawa whined. "I didn't even do anything this time!"
"That's exactly why! Because you didn't. Do. Anything." Iwaizumi gritted out, glaring at the brunet. "So stop watching girls and start playing some damn volleyball!"

Oikawa sighed, almost relieved that Iwaizumi had assumed he was watching his fangirls, and not that cute piece of a- 'Nope stop right there! That's not where my train of thought should go right now!" Oikawa thought to himself, panicking at where his thought process seemed intent to take him. Today was probably not going to be a good day.

But, when they won the match later, with two sets in their favour and one in that of Karasuno's, Oikawa supposed that it might be a good day after all.

At least, he had been under that impression until about ten minutes after the game had ended when he found himself in a precarious situation involving a hallway that wasn't as empty as he originally thought.

"Oikawa-san!" A loud voice shouted, and Oikawa was surprised it didn't echo down the hallways he had thought were empty.

Turning around while attempting to kepe his usual charming smile on his face instead of bursting into tears, Oikawa faced the small player. "Chibi-chan! How unexpected to see you here!"

"I was looking for you, duh!" That was sort of unexpected. Mostly, actually, but Oikawa liked to think he had an air that drew people to him.

"Mm, any reason in particular or did you decide to come play volleyball with my team rather than yours since they can't seem to even beat us?" In retrospect, that was probably not a good way to impress your kind of sort of crush.

Hinata made a face and Oikawa really wished he hadn't said that. "No, I just wanted to ask for some advice. But it's fine." That last part was muttered and Oikawa really really wished he wasn't such an idiot.

"Ah no! You can ask my anything Chibi-chan! We're friends ne?" Were they friends? Oikawa wasn't sure, but he had a connection to Hinata through Tobio so that was close enough.

"We a- Okay! Sure! Yah!" Hinata's face went slightly pink as he stumbled over his words.

"So, you were planning to ask me something, yah?" Oikawa smiled at Hinata, hopefully not in an intimidating way.

"Right! Yah! Um, well, it's kinda about Kageyama." Hinata's face dropped.

"Uh-Oh." Thought Oikawa. That was just splendid. He hoped this wasn't some sort of weird crush that Hinata had on Tobio and not hi- nope stop. Game face! Game face! Wait, not game face, that might be too intense! Oikawa's systems were very quickly failing so it was a good thing Hinata didn't need any encouragement to continue because he probably couldn't in his currently scrambled mindstate.

"It's just he's being a sort of total jerk and won't practice with me on the weekends even though I know he has the time and I really need someone to toss to me but Suga-san's busy with university stuff and so I figured maybe I could ask you!" The fast pace Hinata spoke at made it somewhat harder than normal to understand, but Oikawa got the message loud and clear.

Kageyama was a jerk. Hinata wanted to practice. With Oikawa. Of all people. On weekends. Meaning privately. Meaning just the two of them.

Well that was it. Oikawa had officially lost it, because there was no way in a million years this would actually happen. It was a really, really nice dream though.

"So will you do it?" Hinata's soft voice knocked Oikawa right out of his inner turmoil.

There was nothing wrong with saying yes to a dream right?

"Of course Chibi-chan! I'd be glad to help you, but on one condition!"

Hinata blinked, looking like he hadn't entirely expected Oikawa to agree, but he went along with it anyhow. "Ah, okay. What condition?"

"You simply have to return me a favour of some sort when I ask!" Oikawa smiled, smirked more than anything really, but close enough. It might be good to have Hinata owe him a favour.

"Oh! I guess that's fine, as long as you don't ask me anything weird." Hinata's face scrunched up slightly.

"DUMBASS WE'RE LEAVING!"

Ah yes. That was Tobio-chan, ruining everything as per usual. Oikawa didn't have much time to brood on it though, because a phone was suddenly shoved into his line of sight. He blinked at it for a moment, not quite understanding what was wanted of him.

"Your number!" Hinata prompted. "So I can text you and we can figure out when and where to meet up, stuff like that!"

Oikawa blinked again. Yes. That made sense. He quickly typed his number in, setting the contact name to Oikawa with a little emoji star on each side of it.

"Here," he said, handing it back to Hinata. "Text me later and I'll register you in my phone too."

Hinata smiled, and Oikawa swore he was looking directly at the sun, with how blinding it was.

"Thank you so much! I will for sure!" They stood there almost quietly for a second more, before they were interrupted yet again by Tobio-chan stomping down the hallway, no doubt to drag the red-head away.

'Oi Dumbass! I told you we're leaving, so let's go damn it!" That was all Tobio-chan said before turning around and stomping back down the hallways he had come from. Polite as always it seemed..

"Ah right!" Hinata replied to Tobio-chan before looking back at Oikawa. "Thank you so much Oikawa-san! I'll see you later!" With that, he ran after his sullen teammate, leaving Oikawa alone in the hallway yet again.

"Well," Oikawa muttered. "That could have gone worse."

"What could have gone worse?" Iwaizumi appeared behind him, albeit unexpectedly, and Oikawa jumped slightly.

"Ah! Nothing! Nothing at all, Iwa-chan! I was just talking to myself!" Oikawa waved his hands in front of him, trying to appear as unsuspicious as possible.

"Well whatever. Karasuno just left and we should start packing up to go home as well." If he had noticed anything strange about Oikawa's demeanor, he didn't comment on it, something Oikawa was grateful for.

"Ah, yah. Okay." Oikawa retreated back to the locker room with Iwaizumi, pushing his Hinata encounter to the back of his mind for the time being.

He wouldn't think about it again until later that night, when he received a text from a certain Karasuno player.

Oikawa was finishing calculas homework when he phone vibrated against the desk in his room. He fumbled for a minute before picking it up and checking the message.

From: Unknown Sender

Hi Oikawa-san! This is Hinata Shouyou! You said to text you later so here!

Oikawa's eyes widened briefly, before he set about creating a new contact page.

Labeling Hinata as 'Shou-chan', he typed a message back.

To: Shou-chan

Yes, thank you. Did you want to set up a day to practice now?

From: Shou-chan

Sure sure! Are you free weekends? I could come out to Miyagi, or if you want, you can come over to Yukigaoka!

Oikawa smiled lightly, it might be better to go over to Yukigaoka. Hinata lived far enough away from his teammates that it was unlikely they'd be interrupted. Miyagi, on the other hand, would be far too risky if he wanted to keep this a secret from iwaizumi and the rest of his team.

To: Shou-chan

I can come to Yukigaoka if that's okay. Any day on the weekend is fine.

From: Shou-chan

Okay! If it's okay with you, you can stay at my place overnight? That way we can practice all weekend!

Oikawa stared at his phone for a moment. Did Hinata actually just ask him to sleepover? They hardly knew each other right? He sighed.

To: Shou-chan

Sounds like a plan! Guess I'll see you this weekend then! :)

From: Shou-chan

AWESOME! THANK YOU SO MUCH OIKAWA-SAN!

Oikawa put his phone back down on the desk, intending to clear his mind before attempting the final few calculus questions. He was going to spend weekends with Hinata. And he was going to sleepover, which meant they would be doing more than volleyball. Oikawa's mind started entering a zone he didn't need at that moment and he quickly backtracked his thoughts. Hinata didn't like him that way anyways, there wasn't any need to make things out to be more than what they were. They were just rivals practicing volleyball.

Right?

Of course, this seemed like the perfect time for Oikawa's inner turmoil to be tossed aside with the loud sound of his phone vibrating on his desk. A text message.

From: Shou-chan

I'm looking forward to this weekend. Lets have fun okay?

Oikawa dropped his phone, going red. "What have I gotten myself into…"

Nothing good. That much was certain at least.

A/N: Hi there everyone, I'm glad to see you've enjoyed it enough to at least read the first chapter! (Is it as short as I think it is...?) I've been out of the fanfiction loop for awhile so I hope verything looks okay! If there's any weird errors let me know. I tend to make odd grammar mistakes. Also, I'm sure some of you are far more knowledgable than I am about this fandom, so feel free to give me some constructed feedback! (Please don't yell at me uwaah!)

I'm not sure how often I can update, but we'll just see okay? I'm super busy in my final year of highschool and if anyone knows what the International Baccalaureate (IB) program is, I'm sure you understand!

Also, If anyone is willing to beta in the future, let me know! I typically work over google drive, so its not that hard to share documents. I don't have many friends who are into anime, or even this fandom, so the help would be great!

Again, thanks a ton and I hope to see you later!
