[Well, at least he seems to have backed away from some kind of precipice. That's something. Kunimi had a feeling he wouldn't want to worry a kouhai and sure enough, turning the concern back on him has brought him back. For now.

He needs to keep an eye on this. Even if it does give him that giddy, nervous, idiotic what if feeling. Idolizing Oikawa as much as he adores him doesn't mean that Kunimi will ever deny the dark, erratic current that runs deep beneath his perfect smile.]

All good. Not like you can help it when I was, like, 12? When we met? [The idea of Oikawa still seeing him as that gawky little nerd actually makes Kunimi die inside, but now is not the time to think about that! He returns Oikawa's smile with a crooked grin.] And I'm glad you still wanna look out for me. It's - nice.

[ This is right. This is good. Oikawa feels more like the person he needs to be already, mature and responsible, a shining light that can lead his team to victory. The darkness lurking inside him can stay tucked away; there's no need for it right now.

Or ever. ]

Twelve?!

[ He blinks, then leans back, resting a few fingers against his chin as he thinks about it. ]

I can't believe it's been so long! You're practically all grown up now, Kunimi-chan!

[ He levels the other boy with a bright look, but that darkness is still hiding in his eyes, is still evident in the way they flicker down to where that bruise is hiding beneath Kunimi's collar.

Kuroo, huh? ]

I'll always look out for you, silly. That's what a good senpai does!

[kunimeh]

[These shared, secret moments, just the two of them hidden away from the rest of the team and speaking with an intimacy that would startle even their closest friends, always bring the truth right to the tip of Kunimi's tongue and make it almost impossible to bite back.

I'll always look out for you, Oikawa says, and Kunimi's mind screams I love you, I love you, oh my god I love you so much, please see it written all over my face, bleeding from every pore, please hear it echoing all around me, I can't even imagine loving anyone else, I love you I love you I love you

But then, thankfully, that's what a good senpai does puts him right back in his place. There's always some remark like that. It's hard, but Kunimi can't honestly say it hurts. If Oikawa ever leaves one of those doors open, that'll be the day Kunimi ruins everything.]

You should probably get back to the rest of the team before they think something's wrong, Oikawa-senpai. [Almost as if Oikawa's gaze irritated it, Kunimi rests a hand lightly on his wounded shoulder.] I'm, uh, gonna get cleaned up over here... I won't be long.
