idiots in love
oikawa x fem! reader (1.4k words)
it wasnβt often that your roommate took a break and actually went outside, but after lots of persuasion, you finally got oikawa to leave your room and go to the park.Β
as you walked around, you held onto his arm, observing the people around you, the flowers in the ground, and the chesnut-haired man beside you.Β
βbetter?β, you asked as you rest your cheek against his shoulder. oikawa sighed and turned his head to face you. βyeah, a little. i guess you were right. i did need a breakβ, he said, keeping his fingers intertwined with yours. you smiled and replied, βgood.β
the two of you walked around for a while until stopping in front of the lake with your hand in his and your chin resting on his shoulder. βhmβ¦βΒ
he raised a brow at the noise you made, resting his head against yours. βwhat are you hmm-ing about?β, he asked, softer than usual. you shrugged. βiβm always hmm-ing about something or the otherβ. βwell, what are you hmm-ing about now?β, he asked.Β
βme?β, he echoed and turned to face you. βwhat about me are you hmm-ing about, huh?β. βstop making that soundβ, you countered. βwhat sound?β. βhmm-ingβ. your roommate chuckled, feigning innocence. βwhy? you annoyed by it or something?β. βvery annoyed by it, yesβ.Β
oikawa feigned hurt at your words and placed a hand over his chest. βyou wound me! and here i thought you loved everything about meβ. you grimaced and tilted your head. βmm, very debatableβ. βdebatable, huh?β, he jokingly asked, though a hint of vulnerability remained in his gaze. you nodded and tightened your grip on his arm. βmhm.βΒ
he looked down at your arms around his longer one and teased, βare you trying to make me feel better?β. βfor what?β, you asked. βoh, i donβt know. maybe for the fact that you just wounded my delicate ego?β, he remarked. you chuckled and replied, βyou can handle itβ.Β
he let out a huff of laughter. βyeah, i guess i can. but itβs still nice to hear a little boost to my ego once in a whileβ. βonce in a while? iβm your biggest booster. iβm practically your personal booster clubβ. he bumped his shoulder with yours. βdamn right you are.β you nodded and smiled. βyeahβ¦β
oikawa studied your face for a moment, taking in the genuine smile on your face before turning back to you and placing his hands on your arms, his voice turning more serious and soft. βhey..β. βmhm?β. he chewed on his lower lip, nervously before continuing. βi, uh, i just wanted to sayβ¦i do appreciate you, yβknow. yourβ¦praise. your confidence in me. even when my egoβs hurting, it means a lot. soβ¦thanks.β.Β
you take in his information before grinning, devilishly and stepping closer. βmy, are you trying to be sincere, my dear?β. he scoffed and rolled his eyes as his hands went down to your waist. βoh, shut upβ. your arms moved to wrap around his neck in turn and grinned again. βmake meβ.Β
he took your invitation well as a wolfish grin spread across his face, bringing his lips down to meet yours, softly. you go on your toes to kiss him properly, cupping his cheek as one of his hands go to your jawline, cupping your jaw, gently. his grin softened into a genuine smile as your lips moved softly together for a few seconds before he pulled away for breath.Β
βyouβre dangerous, you knowβ, he murmured softly, resting his forehead against yours. you chuckle breathlessly. βam i?β. he nodded and nips your bottom lip gently before moving his hand down from your jawline to the side of your neck, sending tingles down your spine.Β
βvery dangerous. you make it hard to stay composedβ, he replied. the feeling of his fingers on your skin makes you laugh and try to push him off. βstop that-!β. he continues mapping out the contours of your neck with his fingertips. βwhat, this?β, he asked, innocently. you giggle at the feeling again. βtooru...~β. βyes, angel?β. you smile at the nickname and tilt your head up to slot your lips against his again.Β
you could feel him sigh against your lips, pulling you closer by the small of your back as his other hand tangles itself in your hair. you smile into the kiss, moving your lips slowly against his.Β
βyouβre going to be the death of me, you know?β, he asked after pulling away. you pouted at his words. βdonβt say thatβ¦i donβt want you dyingβ. he chuckles and reassured you. βit was just a figure of speechβ, before adding, βthough, in moments like these, i wouldnβt mind dying if it meant drowning in youβ.Β
you soften at his words, not having heard such sweet and sincere words from him before. βtooruβ¦β. he smiled and planted a soft kiss on your forehead. βwhat? itβs trueβ. βeven stillβ¦β.Β
he smiled and rested his chin on top of your head, wrapping his arms around you, pulling you into a warm embrace. βyou worry too much, you knowβ. you sigh and wrap your arms around him in turn. βi worry enoughβ. βi suppose soβ¦but you donβt have to worry about me, yβknow. i can handle myself just fineβ. you snorted in response. βi beg to differβ.Β
he huffed in mock offense, pulling away enough to glare at you. βyou have absolutely no faith in me, do you?β, he asked, pouting. βnopeβ, you replied, popping the βpβ to make a point. βyouβre so rude. iβm wounded.β βuh-huhβ¦β. he shocked his head, feigning disapproval. βno faith in me. no sympathy for my pain. youβre heartless, angelβ. βmhm, yeah, i betβ.Β
βa devil woman who has no sympathy for her poor, lovesick boyfriendβ, he pouted. βboyfriend, huh?β, you inquired. he stopped his dramatics and lowered his voice a bit. βyeah, thatβs what i saidβ. you softly smiled up at him. βyeah? you wanna be my boyfriend?β.Β
he took a small step closer and cupped your cheek. βdo youβ¦want me to be?β, he asked quietly, showing more vulnerability than before. you smiled and copied his action, cupping his cheek in turn. βyeahβ¦i think i doβ.Β
he grinned and nodded, his gaze visibly softening at your words. βthen iβm your boyfriendβ. you nodded and kissed him again for a few seconds before he pulled away, furrowing his brows. βare you..sure you want this? you want me?β. your heart clenched at his words and cupped both his cheeks now. βi think thereβs a very good chance that iβll be continue to be just as infatuated with you as i was when we first metβ.Β
oikawa couldnβt help but smile at your confession, but decided to tease you anyhow. βinfatuated, huh? and here i thought you found me annoying back thenβ. βoh, i absolutely didβ, you replied without missing a beat. he chuckled at your honesty and cupped your jaw, gently. βand what changed?β.Β
you softly smiled at him and caressed his cheek with your thumb. ββ¦nothingβ.Β
not understanding what you meant, he huffed and moped at your words, lowering his head. βyouβre too harshβ. you chuckled a bit and tried to follow his gaze. βno, thatβs not what i meant. iβm trying to be romanticβ. he cracked a small smile at your laugh and looked back at you to make you continue. βiβm trying to say that i was in love with you back then, tooβ.Β
his expression softened. βyouβ¦you were?β. βof course, i wasβ.Β
his chestnut hair blew in the wind as it kicked up and he was momentarily speechless at your admission. βyou never said anythingβ¦β, he mumbled after a few seconds and you chuckled. βwell, neither did youβ. he conceded, βfair pointβ. you chuckled and he smiled at the sound of your laughter as if it was the light of his life.Β
βfor the recordβ, he began again, cupping both your cheeks, gently, βi was in love with you back then, tooβ. he lowered his head and captured your lips in his, softly for a few seconds. you smiled into the kiss and pulled away for breath. βfor the record, i already knew. but itβs nice to hear you say itβ.Β
oikawa softly laughed at your words and bumped his nose against yours as a display of affection. βi guess weβre both terrible at expressing our feelingsβ, he declared, forming a lopsided smile on his face. you smiled back and nodded. βguess soβ.Β
βweβre idiots, you knowβ. βthen, weβre idiots in loveβ.Β
