[Yamaguchi hasn't got the faintest idea why, but he can feel his vision going blurry as Oikawa speaks. The other boy has said variations of the same thing countless times by now, but Yamaguchi is still floored by how Oikawa…really seems as though he means it. Like he means it. They've known each other barely a week, and not even a particularly admirable week from Yamaguchi's end. How can Oikawa possibly say he likes him with a straight face? Enough to go on a date with him, even? What does he possibly think he'll get out of this that's worthwhile?
It all seems impossible to Yamaguchi. For Oikawa, perhaps, something as simple as being able to call this a date might not be a big deal, but Yamaguchi's never had anyone take positive notice of him in such a short amount of time before. He's always been lacking in respect and attention from other people, always been passed over for the spotlight time and again—or, more recently—had to fight for it. Somehow, Oikawa can apparently see him anyway. Like he's actually trying to.
Yamaguchi has to swallow once, then twice again before he speaks.]
Th-Then…i-it's… [Spit it out, Yamaguchi reminds himself desperately after making the choice, there's nothing else now but to say it–]
…A—A date!!
[Aaaand it comes out definitely a little higher and louder than it was supposed to, since the loud pounding in Yamaguchi's ears is drowning out everything else up to an including his own voice. Despite his answer in the affirmative, Yamaguchi still looks he's practically on the verge of a heart attack. What if it's a big mistake that he just made? What if he's only attracted to girls after all? What if people find out?

What if Oikawa changes his mind?]
