#the oikawa brainrot is hitting hard today

[strwbrryeyes]

hi nini, i just read your bokuto imagine and my heart is on the floor in the best possible way <33

how about oikawa with a gf who’s also really hard-working, to the point that she pushes herself too much but always tries to hide it and puts on a smile. but deep down she really needs to just be held and to let go of everything (and oikawa sees that) 🥹

i love charming oikawa, but i feel we don’t really get to see his hard-working and obstinate side, as well as his ability to read people (like his team mates) well, emphasized in imagines/drabbles! it’s the multidimensional oikawa brainrot coming out </3

𖦹°｡⋆ Nothing matters but you (oikawa x reader)

⟡ cw: comfort, general stress for reader, lmk if i missed anything

⟡ a/n: this is shorter than i usually write but i was thinking of making a part two to this ngl

The loud sound of volleyballs hitting the court echoed through the gymnasium, mixed in with the shouts and laughter of all the players who were hard at practice. In the middle of it all stood Oikawa Tooru, the captain of his university's volleyball team, effortlessly leading and encouraging his team as much as he could. He relished everything about volleyball, from the challenges to the adrenaline it gave him every time on the cour . But today, his mind was elsewhere. His mind was focused on you.

As practice ended and the team began to disperse, and Oikawa immediately looked around to look for you like he always did since you always came to watch his practice. Looking around, he finally spotted you. Your smile, that was usually so warm and welcoming now seemed like a mask but even so, Oikawa weakly smiled back at you making you wave before quickly walking out of the gym which only made him worry more as you would always come down from the bleachers to tell him and the rest of the team that they had done great today.

“Iwa,” Oikawa calls out to his best friend, Iwaizumi,  who was gathering his things a few feet away from where he was standing “I’ll catch up with you later.” Oikawa explains as he motions towards the door you had just walked out of

Iwaizumi gave him a knowing look but nodded. "Take care of her," was all he said, clapping Oikawa on the shoulder before heading out himself.

Oikawa quickly packed his things and jogged out of the gym, his mind racing. He knew You were hardworking to a fault. It was one of the things he admired most about her, but it also worried him. You often pushed yourself too hard, hiding your exhaustion behind a brave face. He couldn't shake the feeling that you needed more than just his admiration right now. You needed him to comfort you, to hold you…just be there as a shoulder to cry on.

After a few minutes of looking for you, Oikawa found you sitting on a bench outside, your back to him with your shoulders slightly slumped. Your eyes seemed distant and unfocused, like you were in a completely different world. Oikawa approached you quietly, his heart breaking at the sight of you.

"[name]," he said softly, taking a seat beside you, his voice startling you causing you to slightly jump.

"Tooru! Great practice today, as always," you said, your voice a bit too cheerful with a fake smile plastered on your face.

Oikawa took your hand gently, his thumb tracing soothing circles on your skin. "Thank you, my love. But enough about me. How are you, really?" He says, getting straight to the point and his main concern.

Your smile faltered for a split second before you regained your composure. "I'm okay! Really! I’m just tired from studying and all. You know how it is." you nervously laugh out .

He did know. You have been a top student for as long as he has known you, always aiming for perfection, just like he was with volleyball. But he also knew when someone was on the verge of breaking. He had seen it in his teammates, he has seen it in himself, and now he saw it in you and nothing broke his heart more.

"[name]," he said more firmly, "you don't have to hide from me. You can tell me if you're not okay. It's okay to need a break."

Your eyes filled with tears, and you looked away, biting your lip. "I just... I don't want to be a burden. You have so much on your plate already, Tooru." 

Oikawa's heart ached at your words. He pulled you into a gentle embrace, holding you close. "You're never a burden to me, [name]. You're my girlfriend. I want to be here for you, just like you're always there for me whenever I need it.” Oikawa whispers into your ear, his voice threatening to crack.

You let out a shaky breath, the walls you had built around yourself these past few weeks had begun to crumble. "It's just so hard sometimes and I feel like I have to keep pushing, keep smiling, even when I'm exhausted and defeated.”

Oikawa held you tighter, his voice a soothing murmur in your ear. "You don't have to do it all alone. Let me help you. We can face everything together. I promise"

For a moment, you were silent, and then you let out a soft sob, finally breaking. You buried your face in his chest, and he felt your body tremble. He stroked your hair, whispering comforting words, giving you the space to let go of the weight you had been carrying.

Time seemed to stand still as you both sat there, wrapped in each other's arms. Oikawa knew that this was just the beginning. There would be more tough days ahead, but he was determined to be there for you whenever you needed him, to support you as you had always supported him.

As your sobs subsided, you looked up at Oikawa, your eyes red but filled with a newfound sense of relief. "Thank you, Tooru. I don't know what I'd do without you."

He smiled, brushing a tear from your cheek. "We'll get through this together. I promise." He says followed by giving you a kiss on the forehead.

[134340am]

i wanna tuck my face into oikawa’s neck and smell the baby powder scent and leave lil kisses there to hear him laugh ☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️

tooru’s pushing you away half-heartedly, fond chuckles bubbling in the back of his throat as you land a flurry of kisses up and down the column of his neck.

“i—i’m not ticklish—stop it!” he yelps breathlessly when you plant a big kiss below his ear.

and then he’s pawing at your hips to get you off his lap, noisy complaints of “you’re being mean, baby!” and “wait till i tickle you back” and “i’m telling my mom!” falling from his lips.

you’re both breathless with laughter when you finally pull back.

“you smell like baby powder, tooru.” you cup his face to look at him closely, proudly noting how his chest heaves with the effort of keeping his giggles to himself while a light pink tinges the tips of his ears. “did you know that? that you smell like baby powder?”

“no, and i’d rather smell like you.” and he’s pulling you down to him again, hands clasped firmly around your wrists in an attempt to assert some control over this situation. “fun’s over, babe. it’s my turn now.”

that day, you came to know very well how tooru smells like baby powder and tastes like his honey vanilla lip balm.

from elle ! my oikawa brainrot really hit hard today so here’s that ;-; but this particular one is dedicated to 🌸sakuranon bec this entire thing is pretty much inspired by this ask :) anyways thank you for reading and i hope you have a lovely day <3

oikawa first spots you at a park, on a clear summer day, sitting on the bench across from where he and his friends had a picnic ; well he and makki were having a picnic, iwa and mattsun are tossing a frisbee back and forth between themselves.

he immediately notices you staring, he pretty much had a sixth sense about these things. oikawa smirks, that cutie from across the park is looking at him? well, he’d better be giving you a show.

“that’s the fifth time you’ve run your hand through your hair,” makki whispered, raising a brow, “what’s up with you?”

“nothing’s up with me,” oikawa replied, his lips curling into what he thinks is his most heart-melting smile. 

iwaizumi heard him of course, “something’s always up with you. this clearly has something to do with the person on the bench sketching us.”

“iwa-chan, i’m honored that you know me so well,” he replied, holding a hand over his heart, “you’re absolutely correct it has something to do with that absolutely dazzling person.”

mattsun rolled his eyes in response, groans escaping the other two’s lips — completely used to oikawa’s antics at this point. him and iwa make their way to where oikawa and makki sat, which was only really a couple of steps away.

“i’m going to talk to them,” oikawa declared, eyes alight with determination.

“good luck with that,” mattsun spoke, sitting on the blanket, “because they’ve already left.”

oikawa was in a slump for the rest of the day, much to dismay of his friends. you were just a random person he saw in a park, what was the big deal about all of this? it’s a question they’ve repeatedly asked him, and he can’t give them or himself an answer either. he just feels like he’s missed a shot at something great, and the last week of his summer break was filled with thoughts of you.

which is why he insists it’s fate that you walked into his classroom on the first day of his third year of high school, a nervous smile playing on your lips as you shyly waved hello.

he immediately follows you out the room the second class ended. 

“i’ve seen you before, haven’t i?”

you didn’t need to answer, he’s already completely sure. but you stop in your tracks anyways, vaguely recognizing him, “i think so?”

“at a park, remember?” he exclaimed, maybe just a little too loud for comfort, “you had a sketchbook, you were drawing me and my friends. though i wouldn’t blame you if it was just me.”

“the last thing i remember drawing at a park is a tree…” you trailed off, taking a few steps away from him.

you excuse yourself almost immediately and oikawa’s just left standing in the hallway, mouth agape at your retreating figure. there’s a small tug on his heartstrings, but there’s also something in him that lit aflame.

oikawa feels lucky that he gets to sit beside you in class, passing you notes filled with little doodles, asking you for your “professional opinion”. at first the drawings were essentially just volleyball plays, but it eventually evolves into simple scenery and little portraits, specifically ones of his friends. 

“does this iwa-chan always looks so angry?” you frown as oikawa passes you another piece of paper, “you usually draw him with a scowl.”

“it’s cute, isn’t it?” oikawa smiles, the drawing of iwaizumi was less a realistic portrait and more a chibi version of him.

he keeps this up for a few weeks. though at first you rolled your eyes whenever he did it, if anything it only distracted you from class. but as time you passed, you grew to look forward to them. particularly the little notes he left under his drawings:

have a great day, yn-chan! <333

you have the nicest smile :)

try not to get too distracted by my good looks ;)

and you slowly get to know each other too, him sitting next to you provided multiple opportunities for the two of you to get paired up for projects. and he takes full advantage of it, asking you questions on your process, why you got started in the first place, if you’ve always loved art. 

oikawa’s always asking you to draw him because “face it yn-chan, what could be a better subject than me?” 

“if i say i’ll think about it will you stop asking every five minutes?” 

falling for him was pretty much inevitable. he’s kind and he’s persistent, and your stomach fills with butterflies every single time your arms accidentally brush. 

oikawa doesn’t keep it a secret that he’s interested in you, mentioning how talented you are to any person who would ask. even those that didn’t. frankly, the entirety of the seijoh vbc was sick of hearing about how amazing you are. 

art supplies magically appear in your locker, always followed by a wink from him whenever you bring it up, “use them when you draw me.”

so naturally, you let oikawa know that you’re interested in him via a portrait of himself. you spent nights on it, erasing and redrawing like crazy. up until you think that it would be enough.

you present your drawing to him with a smile, hoping that one would grace his face as well. but a frown crosses it instead, your heart sinking to your feet.

“do you not like it? i knew the lines were a bit messy and—-” you mumbled, tears pricking the corners of your lips.

“no no no!” he interjected immediately, placing comforting hands on your shoulders, “it’s wonderful,  like everything else you’ve ever made. it’s just that i had this entire plan of when you agreed to draw me, i’ll offer to draw you, and we’ll make an entire day of staring at each other, and i’ll properly confess. i’ve been getting lessons when we don’t have practice so i can impress you.”

“you’ve been taking art lessons?” you gasped.

oikawa nodded, “yeah, a few.”

“i mean…i guess we could still have that afternoon of staring at each other. i’m free tomorrow.”

“would you look at that? i am too.”

the portrait you made him is taped up on his clubroom locker. iwa, makki, and mattsun tease him for being too vain because of it,  “do you really need to keep staring at yourself all the time?”

what they don’t know is that he keeps it because of the note you’ve written on the corner : “ you’re my favorite subject ;) go get ‘em, captain!  - yn <3 ”

it makes oikawa’s heart flutter every time he reads it, bringing it with him during games and it makes him more motivated to win.

Aaawwww I'm sorry that you're sick cece!! Hope you rest up and take care of yourself!!

Fun things: today I was hit HARD by ennoshita brainrot (yes I am an ennoshita lover to answer ur question from your answer in the ask game) and I just want to hang out with him and be domestic with him. Just lay in the same room with a movie we're both half-paying attention to, and sometimes he'll be like "omg watch this part" for a scene and then ramble about some fun fact about the production or the actor or something about lore of the movie, and I'll do the same ;___;

Other fun things: I'm playing animal crossing new horizons again. What chars do you think would have the most organized, decorated island with the best themes, and which would have the most wilderness and disorganized didnt even try island?

stop I just wrote an extremely long paragraph being super nostalgic about my film classes in the context of ennoshita and then accidentally deleted it somehow thanks tumblr but the jist was that he’s so unpretentious and it’s not him teaching you it’s just both of you nerding out together which I love🥰and it’s so great bc you’ll take separate classes but come back and watch the movies together and report to each other on every little thing you learned!! And you support each other thru the endless rewatches necessary to write your essays & discussion posts I literally wrote a whole thing ab how ennoshita has to write ab the searchers and you find it so corny the 2nd or 3rd time thru but you keep watching it w him to be supportive lol, and likewise you both are crying your eyes out rewatching the ending of in the mood for love for you to write your discussion post I’m very angry at tumblr for deleting that lol and omg if there’s a special guest for one of your classes you both campaign SO hard for the other to get to come to the lecture, and if they can’t you watch some of the guest’s movies & relay in such detail to each other everything they talked about with the production, the editing, whatever it may be. ok I honestly think I’ve probably reproduced the majority of what I typed the first time. ugh. film student lovers w ennoshita, be still my small heart.

Hahahahahah on the animal crossing topic, this is just a list of ppl popping into my mind. Oikawa has a freaking gorgeous island, same with yachi. Makki’s is sooooo disorganized and kyoutani’s is probably also a mess but he doesn’t care ab how it looks he’s just glad nobody knows he plays. I feel like hinata & Noya would also have kinda garbage islands bc they don’t have the patience for it even tho they want to try lol. Kageyama probably tries briefly before he also loses patience and his results are….. ehhhhh😂😂😂 asahi’s looks great tho. Suga’s too. OSAMU’s is great and Atsumu is extremely jealous bc his is a flop. Probably Suna’s is pretty good too & he also makes fun of Atsumu but watch out suna what if some… catastrophic mistake… happened…….. what if you experienced some dreadful….. sabotage???? Tendou’s island is fantastic. He puts so much care into fictional worlds and no one can convince me otherwise. Gets the game for ushijima who has no clue what he’s doing, but actually is trying for his friends sake, so his islands mediocre. Futakuchi’s is terrible and embarrassing and frustrating to him despite all his best efforts lol. Kenmas is obviously stellar. Daichi tries so hard but he just doesn’t have the designers touch like suga lol. Kuroo just pesters kenma for help but it mostly just annoys kenma lol so kuroo kinda still ends up w his looking a lil blah. Terushima’s is surprisingly really good—he spent all his time working on it instead of actually doing his hw. I should shut up now I don’t know why I started just rattling off everything I thought of oh my word lol
