"(Name)-chan, one day you'll be my bride!"
"Sure, kiddo. Whatever you say."

The little boy in front of you pouted.
"You don't take me serious, you meanie!" the brown eyed boy in front of you whined.
"Of course I do, Tooru-chan." you said, ruffling his soft brown locks.
Of course you didn't. He was just a kid after all, but you couldn't just say no to him, could you?

The boy in front of you is Oikawa Tooru. You know each other since his mother gave birth to him. That's why the two of you are already on first name base. Both of your parents are pretty close friends and since you're five years older than Oikawa, his parents always asked you first, when they needed a babysitter. But not only that, Oikawa liked - or in his words loved – you, so he's always been pretty clingy. He always took you with him to watch him practice Volleyball with his friends. Your friends often made fun of you for spending so much time with an eight years old kid like him, but you didn't mind. Oikawa was really important to you after all.

A few years passed and while Oikawa entered middle school with 12, you were in your third year high school with 17 years of age. You were quite busy with studying, since finals would approach soon, but you still took your time to visit him from time to time, when he had Volleyball practice. It somehow made him feel more energetic, seeing your beautiful smiling face from the benches like that. He was ready to toss the ball that was flying towards him, when he saw how a guy – around your age – sitting beside you. You turned around to the new presence next to you, looking surprised, but started laughing because the guy probably said something funny to you.
Who was this guy? Why was he talking to you?
These and many other questions flew through his mind until the ball hit him right in the face, knocking him out in the progress.
He heard you shouting his name in worry until everything went black.

When he finally opened his eyes, the first thing he noticed was, that he wasn't in the gym anymore. He tried to sit up from his lying position, only to feel a sharp pain in the region of his nose. The pain made him try to touch his nose, only to feel it stuffed with tissues.

"Tooru, are you awake?"

The moment he heard your voice calling from another room, he realized that he was lying on your bed. Immediately, a light blush started to cover his face. It's not like it was the first time he was in your room, but it felt...different. He felt more mature. The last time he was in your room, he was still in elementary school. Now he was in middle school. But he knew he was still too young for you, but that wouldn't change anything about his feelings for you!

"What are you thinking about?"

Too absorbed into his thoughts, he didn't notice you entering the room. Your face just inches apart from his. Too shocked to move, he just started into your (e/c) orbs.

"I'm talking to you Tooru."

You let out a long sigh and took a few steps back to increase the gab between the two of you.

"Here I have an ice pack for your nose." you said, tossing him the ice pack onto the bed.

"I make us some food-"

"What happened?"

"Huh? Do you mean your nose? The ball hit you right in the face. You passed out, so I thought it would be the best to take you to my place-"

"Wait, do you mean you carried me to your house?"

"Stop interrupting me, Tooru. That's a bad habit, y'know? Anyway, no I didn't. My friend was nice enough to drive us here."

"You mean that...guy?"

"Yeah, but I should really start making food now. Your mum told me to make dinner before evening and it's already starting to become dark."

And with that, you left a frustrated looking Oikawa on your bed. The guy- the friend you were talking about, the thought of another guy being close to you made him angry. But what could he do? He was just 12 after all.
With the ice pack pressed against his nose, the boy left your room just to find you in the kitchen wearing an apron. You were currently looking for fast and easy receipts to quickly make food for the both of you. Your parents were out for dinner together with Oikawa's parents like they were every friday. You were already used to babysit him every week, so it wasn't much of a trouble. Oikawa sat next to you, admiring your beautiful form.

"You'd be a great wife, (Name)-chan!"

"Thanks, but I guess I'm still too young for that. Not that I soon want to be one anyway."

"Just wait, one day I'll make you my bride, (Name)-chan!"

"That's really sweet of you Tooru, but you should find a nice girl in your age. You won't want an old hag like me." you said laughing.

"But I don't want anybody else!"

The day of your graduation had finally come. A happy day for you and your classmates, but not for a certain brown haired setter. Why? Because you planned to go to university, that's why. That means, you would leave him for five years. Five long years. You wouldn't even be able to visit him, since the university you chose was pretty far away. A deep sigh escaped his throat as he sat on one of the benches outside of your school building.

"What's with the long face, Assikawa?" Oikawa's best friend appeared, making the poor boy jump in surprise.

"I-Iwa-chan! Don't scare me like that-"

"Is it because of (Surname)-san going to university?"

"Whaa- No, of course not! I'm happy for (Name)-cha- ouch!"
Before Oikawa could even end his sentences, Iwaizumi angrily hit him on the head.

"Iwa-chan! Why are you always hitting me?" Oikawa whined while pressing a hand to his aching head.

"Because you keep lying to me, you jerk. Anyway, (Surname)-san is looking for you-"

"Oh, you found him Iwaizumi-kun! Thanks a lot!"

Both of the boys turned in your direction, seeing you waving to both of them. Iwaizumi mumbled a short "no problem", before leaving you with Oikawa alone.

"So..." you tried to start a conversation. "Why did you leave the ceremony?"

No answer.

"Did I make you angry? I'm sorry if I di-"

"No you absolutely didn't do anything wrong. Sorry, if I made you think that. I better go now, I still have homework to do."

He tried to walk away, but you kept hold of his wrist.

"Hey... What's worrying you? You can tell me." you gently whispered while pulling him in for a hug.

For a moment, everything was silent. When he finally returned the hug, he quietly whispered
"I don't want you to leave."

That made your heart sting. You didn't know that this would actually hurt him.
You broke the hug, got hold of his shoulders and looked him in the eyes.
"Just five years and I'm back. And we can still keep in contact via email. You won't even notice that I'm not here!"

"Just promise me you will come back."

"I promise you."

He just nodded, giving you a fake smile.

Finally, five long years have passed. You are now 22, while Oikawa is now 17. You haven't seen each other in these five years, but you texted and phoned a lot. Almost every day to be exact. And now you were coming back home.

You are happy.

Happy to see your friends again.

Happy to see your family again.

And more importantly, happy to see Oikawa again.

Yes, your feelings for him changed a lot in these past five years. You felt terrible for developing feelings for him, you were an adult after all.
Not much of a mature adult though, but hey, you were just 22, nobody could blame you.
You pushed these thoughts aside and made your way to the person you wanted to see the most right now.

You entered the school grounds of the Aobajousai High. It wasn't that hard to find the way to the gym. Right before the entrance there was a huddle of girls surrounding...Oikawa?

"You've become quite the womanizer, haven't you, Tooru?"
With a big smile plastered across your face, you made your way to the huddle of people not far from you. Said boy turned around, only his eyes widening in shock when he saw you.

"(N-name)-chan?!"

"The one and only."

"Why didn't you tell me that you would come back today?"

"It was a surprise?"

The boy didn't hesitate to run up to you, giving you a big bear hug. That's when you noticed how much he had grown. Like literally. Still five years ago, he was as tall as you are, maybe even shorter. Also he became...really handsome. That thought alone made you blush while you were returning his hug.

"I'm so glad you are back, (Name)-chan..." the setter said when he finally let go of you.

"...Me too."

Suddenly you heard someone coughing behind you, what made you turn around.

"A-are you Oikawa-senpai's g-girlfriend?" a short girl in front of you shyly asked.

"O-oh, don't worry, I'm not his girlfriend!" you quickly answered out of reflex.

"You mean, not yet."

He put an arm around your shoulder, leading you towards the gym. He waved a quick goodbye to his fangirls until he closed the door.

"We still have a lot to catch up on (Name)-chan..."

"What do you mean with that?"

"Oh, I think you know exactly what I mean." he said, giving you smug like smirk.

Holding your beet red face in your hands, he lead you towards the locker room.
