Yamaguchi still thinks he might be joking? Oikawa talked to him over text for a week straight - constantly throwing in blatant flirting - invited him out for lunch, calling it a date the entire time, to a very pink cafe intended for couples, made Yamaguchi eat off his spoon and Yamaguchi still doubts that Oikawa could be serious about his intentions.
He probably brought that on himself, if he's honest.
Not seeing why Oikawa might be interested in him in the first place is harder to grasp. Oikawa gave him a list! It nearly killed Yamaguchi but that only goes to show he listened as Oikawa gave it.
But... That's a yes, right? Or one step away from it. Among Yamaguchi's stumbling to lower Oikawa's expectations and his self-depreciating comments, he's building up to a yes?
Apart from gambits to get Iwaizumi to admit he cares about Oikawa, he's never actually put himself in a position like this. And with Iwaizumi he already knew he cares. He can't says he likes the change, even serving on the court he's more relaxed than this.
His mouth twitches into what might be a sincere or hopeful smile but the emotion is foreign enough that he's sure it looks like his previous choking has taken a bigger toll.]
I really do feel this way, so...?
[He realises, awkwardly, Yamaguchi feeling the same is irrelevant to his desire to spend time with him. Even if Yamaguchi did say he didn't want it to be a date, that he really is one hundred percent straight, Oikawa would still flirt and try and take him out on not-dates, perfectly happy with the idea that Yamaguchi will never fall for him.]
