This is… the final chapter. The last chapter of Not What I Expected. Wow, that's really weird to think about. I'll talk a bit more at the bottom of the chapter for those who are interested. But once again a massive thank you to everyone who's been on this journey with me!

Is it really a surprise? Is anyone surprised to find out who I've fallen for? Because I'm fairly certain that it was obvious.

In case you are as dense as I am, I had fallen for Oikawa Tooru. Thirst trap, pretty face, flat ass.

...Ignore that last part.

Now then, how do I confess to him? I really wanted to match the effort and perfect atmosphere that Oikawa had during his confession. Unfortunately for me, there was no sign of snowfall in the coming months. Damn you global warming!

So what's really romantic?

Wait a minute, I don't care about that. It can be romantic if I want it to be, and so it shall. I don't need the heavens to help me out on that part, I can do it entirely by myself! And yes, that is something to be proud of.

Oikawa will have no reason to complain.

Time to go find him!

The fortunate part of falling for Oikawa is that he lives close by, so I can pop by whenever I want.

Which is what I was planning to do.

I knocked on the front door and Oikawa's mother answered, a lovely woman. "Excuse me, is Tooru home?"

She shook her head. "No, I sent him to go get some groceries."

I nodded and thanked her. Guess I have to go find him.

Off to the shopping centre I go!

Finding Oikawa inside of a busy area isn't as easy as one might assume. Sure, he towers above everyone else but the guy can fit in surprisingly well when he wants to.

Which really sucks when you're looking for the fucker.

Wait a minute…

I recognise that blob of hair…

That's Oikawa.

He carried a plastic bag in one hand, probably filled with groceries, and the other hung lazily at his side. His back was to me, so he wouldn't be able to see me on his own. I'd have to grab his attention if I wanted to talk to him.

Time to catch up to him!

Easier said than done, being in a crowded area like that makes it difficult to move around. The masses kept me away from him. I don't like that, not at all.

Pushing and shoving my way through the crowds took a long time, mostly because Oikawa had no trouble moving forward. People are more likely to part for taller people. I don't qualify as one of those.

Eventually I did reach him, though it felt like it took forever.

I reached out and grabbed his hand. "Tooru."

He startled and looked back at me. "Matsu-chan. What are you doing here?"

I smiled at him. "Looking for you actually. You got time to talk?"

"I do, why?"

"You'll see!"

"I really, really, don't like the sound of that."

"Why does everyone immediately say that?"

Oikawa raised an eyebrow at me.

"...Okay good point." I chuckled, remembering all the shit I've pulled. "But it's nothing bad, I promise."

"Is it bad if I don't trust that?"

"Probably, but if you don't enjoy this I might have to consider kicking the shit out of you."

"...Okay I'm interested. What's up?"

I looked around. "Let's first get somewhere less crowded, so that we can properly understand each other."

Oikawa agreed and we left the centre, dropping by his house first to hand over the groceries. The place I led Oikawa to was one familiar.

As it was the park where Oikawa had confessed to me. See, I can be romantic!

Once every century or so…

But such things fall under the 'irrelevant information' section inside of me and shall as such be ignored in favor of admiring Oikawa's body.

Yes I am that shameless, I'd think you knew this by now.

"So…" Oikawa began, "What did you want to talk about?"

He had shoved his hands into his pockets, a sign of his that he was nervous. Did he already have a feeling of what was going to happen? Probably. Oikawa's nowhere near as oblivious as I am regarding romance.

Didn't he used to have a girlfriend who dumped him for being too invested in volleyball? Girl has no idea just what treasure she dropped. But hey! If she didn't want him, I'd be more than happy to take care of him.

At any rate, back on track.

"Something important." I said cryptically, completely on purpose.

Of course I had to mess with him a bit. Just part of our relationship you know?

Oikawa just looked at me, apparently not in the mood for my shit.

"Okay I'll spill." I took a deep breath. "Tooru, come closer."

He hesitantly did so, looking all too suspicious of me. "What are you planning?"

"Something nice. Something really nice."

"Really?"

"Yep!" I chirped. "You're gonna love it."

Before Oikawa could say anything else I grabbed his collar and pulled him down to my level where I kissed him.

I pulled back and let Oikawa gather his thoughts and relished in how red he had gotten.

"And? Did you love it?"

Oikawa swallowed thickly. "Yeah, yeah I did. So uhh, I guess that means…?"

It sounded as though Oikawa didn't dare say it out loud.

I smiled widely. "Yeah, it does. I love you Tooru."

I heard Oikawa gasp with emotion before he pulled me into an embrace.

His arms wrapped around me and he held me close. "Thank you." He whispered softly.

I smiled into his chest, wrapping my own arms around his waist. "Not a problem."

Not even five seconds later I grabbed his ass and relished in the surprised squeak he let out. "Finally, I have a good reason to touch this."

And… that's it. The final chapter. I know that some of my readers wanted a harem ending but I've decided not to write it after struggling with the Twins Ending. Sorry about that.

But man, what a journey this has been. Thank you all so much for sticking with me through these past 3 (holy shit) years. Looking back at the story now there are definitely some things that I would change, and I will never look at chapter 1 again without feeling the urge to throw up. In a way, I suppose this story is also a journey in seeing how my writing has improved.

Again thank you all so much for reading this story!
