[He considers, plays with the straw of his milkshake without looking at it, still fixed on Yamaguchi instead.]
I suppose I did. You didn't believe me. [Because no sane person would. The only person who's ever thought (or more likely not thought at all) well of him like that was Kageyama persistently asking him to teach him to set and to serve. And Oikawa's long thought he's lacking in the sanity department.
When he mentioned it before, told Yamaguchi he'd prove how good a person he is, it was with the assumption that Yamaguchi knew that's impossible. That it's part of his jokes. Iwaizumi always laughs when he says things like that and he's his best friend.
It sits a little unhappily in his stomach that Yamaguchi might think he's better than he is and thinks that he'd say something for someone else's comfort alone rather than because he means it or because saying it will help in the long run. He's not sincere, necessarily, but he can tailor his words to people so that they should believe him enough.]
