I as a species of the homo sapiens kind find it very difficult to climb stairs but very easy to come down and WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH GRAVITY
So i relate to Kenma when he said why the fuck does gravity even exist đ«

Oikawa Tooru felt a bit dizzy behind his eyes. Maybe the gymnasium lights were too bright.
Or maybe it was herâstanding there, just here for your brother Yahabaâs matchâlingering by the bleachers after the game, fingers curled around his water bottle like you had every right to be there [you did], and no right to make his pulse stutter [you absolutely did].
Oikawa noticed the exact moment you walked in. Of course he did; he had a sixth sense for these thingsâhe could read the shift in air pressure before a serve, the angle of Iwaizumiâs exasperated scowls, and especially, the gaze of a pretty spectator watching him with quiet intensity that made his skin prickle.
And now, despite his legendary focus, his brain short-circuited like bad Wi-Fi.
Badum.
His heartbeat was obnoxiously loud, the kind of dramatic thud that belonged in a shoujo manga, not in his stupid chest. He tightened his grip on the volleyball, knuckles whitening.
Focus. Serve. Ace. Repeat.
But thenâthenâyou looked up. And smiled. At him? No. No, definitely at Iwaizumi, who was stretching behind him like some muscle-bound shoujo rival. Not that Oikawa noticed. Or cared. Obviously.
âOikawa!â Coach barked. âYouâre up.â
Right. Serve. He could do this. Heâd done it a thousand times.
He tossed the ball, leaptâ
âand his knee almost buckled when your voice cut clean through his focus.
âNice form, Oikawa.â
The ball sailed straight into the net. thwap.
Silence.
âWow,â Iwaizumi deadpanned. âThat was embarrassing even for you.â
Oikawaâs cheeks burned. âA fluke!â he declared, flipping his hair. âThe air was... wrong. And my shoelaces wereââ
âYouâre staring at [Name] again,â Hanamaki stage whispered.
âIâm notâ!â But his traitorous pulse was already sprinting ahead without him. And it only took one sentence from you to prove him wrong.
âOikawa.â Your voice, closer now. Too close. He turnedâand there you were, tilting your head, a little frown on your face that flipped his stomach inside out.
He couldnât say when you started affecting him. You were just supposed to help him with notes, as class president, catching him up after missed lectures. So why did your voice shake him more than a punch from Iwaizumi?
maybe it was because he was a keen observer..? He noticed how your pen would hover over the edge of his messy notes, then burst into doodlesâbunnies in jerseys, a stick-figure Yahaba mid-sneezeâbut youâd freeze when given a blank page.
How you empathized with everyoneâthe teacher, rivals, even the cranky lunch ladyâbut turned into a flustered mess when he thanked you. Left ink-smudges on your cheek he ached to wipe away.
And the way you bit your lip trying not to laugh at his dumb jokes, turning your lower lip a soft, tempting pink.
Oikawa Tooru knew exactly why he liked you. He was doomed.
âAre you okay? You look tiptopâjust like you do on TV.â
The gym air turned to concrete in his lungs. His brain screeched to a halt like a buffering video.
TV.
TV.
TV.
ââŠTV?â he croaked, voice cracking like an old vinyl record.
You spun Yahabaâs water bottle cap between your fingers. âYeah, I caught your match while flipping channels.â A pause. âRight when you said that thing aboutââ
Oikawaâs entire life flashed before his eyes.
Please no.
ââIf youâre gonna hit it,ââ you quoted, eyes crinkling, ââhit it until it breaks.ââ
Nuclear silence. Iwaizumi looked like chrismtmas came earlyâShe knows your catchphrase,â he grinned.
âITâS NOT Aââ Oikawa clutched his hair, executing The Exact Flip mid-panic. âI WAS FIFTEEN! IT WAS METAPHORICAL!â
âSounded pretty literal before the Shiratorizawa match,â Matsukawa said casually.
âWith tears in your eyes,â Hanamaki added.
You blinked. âWait, really?â
âNO!â Oikawa shrieked, voice hitting frequencies only dogs could hear. âTHEYâRE LYINGâYOU GUYS I SWEAR TOââ
Through the chaos, you smiled. Soft. Infuriating. âI thought it was cute. Kinda cool, too.â
Oikawaâs brain blue-screened.
Because that was the worst part. You liked it. You remembered him. And now his heart was pounding loud enough to echo across the entire prefecture. He likes you. Oikawa tooru likes you.
âAw,â Hanamaki cooed. âCaptainâs blushing.â
âIâM NOTâ!â
âWait, wait,â Matsukawa cut in, eyes gleaming.
â[Name], you do know our captain has this weird habit of staring at the bleachers during timeouts, right?â
You blinked. âHuh?â
"Like he's looking for someone" Hanamaki singsonged.
Oikawa made a sound like a deflating balloon. âYou all just lost your bestfriend priveledges.â
âOikawa,â Iwaizumi said solemnly, âjust admit you like that she watchedââ
âNO!â Oikawa lunged, spectacularly missing as Iwaizumi dodged.
âHE DOES THAT,â Hanamaki told you brightly, âwhen heâsââ
Oikawaâs shoe connected with his shin.
LOSER MEN ON TOP UGHHHHH.
Pov you're oikawa after Aoba Johsai lost the match:
You hear someone loud footsteps and the slamming open the door. You see the horrifying sight of......
