[tooruler]

Don't worry about it, Yama-chan. I had enough, and you enjoyed it so much. [Which is more than enough compensation for missing out some of his drink.]

We can always come back again and split another one.

[tsukkinice]

! [!!!]

D-Do you really want to?

[tooruler]

[He averts his gaze, figures he'd start blushing now. Yamaguchi's just so eager] Here or somewhere else. There are lots of places that serve a nice milkshake.

[tsukkinice]

But...I mean, w-with...me?? [Yes, he's still in shock over that. STILL. It'd be easy enough to believe if Oikawa was someone he'd been on friendly terms with, or one his own teammates, but when it comes to anyone that could be considered a date date Yamaguchi's insecurity runs deep.]

[tooruler]

[Yamaguchi might be freaking out about being a date but all his fuss is making Oikawa remember that he hasn't had a date with someone he likes before. That if he messes this up he could get hurt. But Yamaguchi is worryingly worth it.]

With you and you alone, Yama-chan.

[tsukkinice]

[With a strangled noise, Yamaguchi pulls his hands back to press them over his face. He hunches over the table again, red-faced; but this time, it doesn't seem to be from embarrassment.]

O-Oikawa-san! [His voice is a little muffled, but not distressed, like he's actually happy to be hearing this (for all it makes him uncomfortably warm in the face).] I-I don't know what to say, to a thing like that...!

[tooruler]

[Muffled but happy is a nice change. Still a pity to keep Yamaguchi's face hidden but better for this reason than embarrassment alone.]

That you'd like to would be a start.

[tsukkinice]

[Yamaguchi glances up, barely peeking out through the gaps in his fingers. His hands are still pressed over his embarrassingly red face.]

L-Like to?

[tooruler]

Share a milkshake with me again.

[He pauses.]

If you would like to?

[tsukkinice]

Y...Yeah! I would! [He blurts out the words, scared that if he hesitates he won't be able to form any words at all.]

[tooruler]

[Oikawa sighs in mostly exaggerated relief.]

I can't wait, Yama-chan. Though we should probably finish up here if you're ready to? [His milkshake's finished and his bread is gone, they can't really justify staying too long without ordering more and he doesn't want anything.]

[tsukkinice]

Ah, r-right! I am. [Glad to have something to do with his hands, Yamaguchi reaches to pull his wallet out of his jeans pocket. He holds it idly in his lap waiting for the waitress to return so they can pay.]

[tooruler]

[Oikawa tilts his head at Yamaguchi's wallet on his lap.] What do you think you're doing with that? I asked you out, Yama-chan, so I'm paying.

[tsukkinice]

...!

Whoa, really? [He looks startled, but not unhappily so. The thought never crossed Yamaguchi's mind that Oikawa might want to pay for him.] That's really nice of you, Oikawa-san!

[tooruler]

I do recall something about telling you I'd show you nice I am. [He twists to pull his wallet out of his coat pocket on the back of the chair, so he can talk without Yamaguchi seeing his face.] I really didn't think I'd convince you.

[tsukkinice]

[Yamaguchi laughs.]

Sorry, Oikawa-san...I guess I didn't think so either, back then, but...

You seem...different in person, somehow. [There's a glimmer of sincerity beneath the veneer of Oikawa's charm and annoying affectations, which makes Yamaguchi want to stick around even when he's feeling embarrassed or in doubt.]

[tooruler]

[He's only more sincere in person because it's impossible for him not to be. It's so much easier to make everything sound like a joke over text.

He doesn't quite know what to say to Yamaguchi's comment though. Different could be good or bad, and it's not like they'll stop texting - he hopes they won't stop texting.

He awkwardly clears his throat as the waitress shuffles over and he pulls a note and a handful of coins out to pay for their food, standing up from the table as she leaves again with a smile.]

Have you had fun, Yama-chan? [He tries not to let it show that he's legitimately asking rather than confirming what he should already know but he's sure something will give him away.]

[tsukkinice]

[Yamaguchi stands as well, head tilted downward unconsciously out of embarrassment, so that he has to look up at Oikawa shyly to smile back.]

Y-Yeah. I really had a good time today, Oikawa-san... [His face is still noticeably pink, if Oikawa's inclined to look]

[tooruler]

[He sighs in exaggerated relief. Seeing Yamaguchi's blush helps and makes a smile tug at his lips.]

I did, too. It was fun, Yama-chan.

We'll have to do it again. That is, if you'd like.

[tsukkinice]

Me? Er…s-sure, yeah! If you want to, I mean…then yeah!!

[Sure, Oikawa's practically been holding up a neon sign with his intentions for this in all seriousness, but Yamaguchi's probably never going to learn to EXPECT to be asked out (again!) by someone that cool and good-looking and nice (…) as Oikawa.

On the plus side, that also means Yamaguchi's current look of genuine relief and thrill at being all but invited on a second date is 100% sincere! Eat it up, Oikawa. The kid officially adores you.]

[tooruler]

[He's not so much eating it up as acting genuinely happy that Yamaguchi still likes him after he did things like admit that Yamaguchi is the only person he's ever asked out, and denied the compliments Yamaguchi tried to give him, he thought it was too much to hope for.]

Then we will! You can pick the place next time, if you want. [Though it seems like Yamaguchi got used to the pink eventually.

Oikawa pulls on his coat from the back of the chair and tucks his hands into his pockets, waiting for Yamaguchi to make the first step towards the exit.]

[tsukkinice]

[Yamaguchi does, but he glances back at Oikawa automatically as if to make sure he's following right behind.]

That's okay! …I don't mind if you pick again, I mean. I probably won't be able to think of a place anyway… [Dating etiquette's not really his forte; and after the, uh, décor here caught Yamaguchi 100% by surprise, he definitely doesn't want to pick someplace casual that'll end up disappointing Oikawa.

Of course, that train of thought leaves Yamaguchi wondering how he can keep from making an idiot of himself if (when? it's really happening, right?) they really do end up doing this again. These thoughts still at the forefront of his mind, Yamaguchi exits the restaurant with his neck twisted back over his shoulder nearly the whole way as if he and Oikawa might somehow get separated if Yamaguchi isn't watching him.]

Um, that was…nice, Oikawa-san. [Yamaguchi stammers out the words unthinkingly only to hope it doesn't sound insincere, because he does mean it. Parts of that date—well, most of it, if he would stop to think about it—were incredibly embarrassing to be sure, but the fact that Oikawa actually likes him has Yamaguchi on such a giddy cloud that everything from the past half-hour or so seems much cheerier and better-intentioned in hindsight.]

[tooruler]

[Iwaizumi has taken him to a baseball game. There is nowhere Yamaguchi could take him that he finds more disappointing than a baseball game, but he lets it slide, he's happy picking the locations for their dates, it just means that Yamaguchi might have to put up with going to exhibits like "Aliens: Are They Among Us?" if Oikawa gets any more comfortable with him.]

I'm glad you agree, Yama-chan. I would hate to be the only one who thought so.

[Once they exit the cafe, Oikawa pauses, he almost wants to ask if Yamaguchi wants to do something else, but he has some school work that needs his attention, and if he spends too much more time in Yamaguchi's presence, he thinks he might blurt out something embarrassing and heartfelt far too soon.]

I think I have to go home now, do you have to walk to the station as well, or is this the part where I ask if I can give you a kiss goodbye?

[tsukkinice]

[How about a Karasuno volleyball game~?]

Uhwa…what?! [Yamaguchi gapes, automatically glancing about the unbusy street as though some nonexistent passerby in close range might have heard them.] R-Right here? Out n the open?!

[He's so distressed at the thought (of being spotted doing something so intimate with a guy no one even knows he's spoken to before, not the kiss itself. necessarily.) that he completely misses the first part of that question—even though he does in fact have to walk to the station as well.]

[tooruler]

[He stomps on his disappointment to stop it from showing on his face, the last thing he wants to do is guilt Yamaguchi into anything. He just... it would just be nice to finish the date with that, ]

If you want to go somewhere else to kiss me then you'll have to suggest the location, but saying no is an option. I wouldn't want you to get a reputation as a guy who kisses any boy who takes him on a date. [He pretends to realise something, feeling like he's being unfortunately fake when all he really wants is to not make this awkward.] Unless that's the kind of reputation you want?
