A story is best when structured in three acts. Or, Oikawa muses, perhaps best is not the right word; rather, a story is easier in three acts, simple structure and easy packaging.
This is all hypothetical, of course. And, like many of Oikawa’s hypotheses, Tobio shatters right through them, stumbling clumsily but doggedly as if unaware of the debris he leaves behind.
Every story has a beginning, but before this story begins, there is this: Kageyama Tobio stands at the door of Oikawa’s dressing room, a rolled-up script in hand and the small, well-worn ghost of a smile in his eyes.
“I guess we’re co-actors again, Oikawa-san,” Tobio says. “I’ll be in your care.”
“Of course,” Oikawa says. Of course.
Then, because neither of their managers nor the director is around, Oikawa walks out of his dressing room, still wearing half of the clothes he arrived in. Tobio steps aside from the doorway to let him leave, his mouth set in a flat line. Oikawa doesn’t remind him to use lip balm to stop Tobio’s lips from chapping. Oikawa does not stay long enough to say anything at all.
Not every story is a new story.
act i
In which the heroes are introduced, and problems arise.
Filming moves faster than anticipated. Oikawa isn’t surprised; Tobio is actually a rather good actor, once you moved past his inability to add any emotion into his sincerity. Or at least, the Tobio that Oikawa knows. The Tobio in today’s filming is someone else entirely.
“The crew gave us water,” Tobio says between scenes. This is not an entire truth: Oikawa saw the crew set several water bottles at a table to the side for everyone on set. Is everything alright, Tobio is asking, if not in as many words.
Tobio offers Oikawa a bottle. He isn’t holding one for himself.
It’s been a long time since Oikawa could confidently say he knows Tobio, however, and even then he has never confessed that he might not have been correct.
“Well,” Oikawa says, accepting the bottle. “That’s nice of them.”
“Yes.” Tobio nods, once, too hard.
Oikawa looks at him as he unscrews the cap of the bottle and takes a sip. Tobio swallows, but doesn’t look away.
“If you’re this tense away from the cameras, it’ll be awkward when filming picks back up,” Oikawa eventually says. He passes Tobio the bottle.
“Oh,” Tobio says. “Right–yes, thank you.”
Tobio fumbles with the bottle cap before deciding against a drink. The fidgeting settled him, though, the rest of him still even as his eyes waver between light and–and something else, watching Oikawa.
Oikawa pauses. Then: “You remembered to use lip balm.”
“Moisturisation is important,” Tobio replies, almost solemn.
Oikawa snorts, hiding his smile away behind a hand, but there’s no accounting for the sound.
“How right you are,” Oikawa says. “I suppose you’ll be alright after all.”
Tobio smiles, and nods.
act ii
In which catalysts spur the heroes into action, and growth occurs.
Oikawa is one of the first to leave the set, habitually making space for a full schedule that isn’t always there. Tobio is one of the last to leave the set, habitually determined on running through lines he’s already memorised to practice matching expressions that he hasn’t.
This is how Oikawa catches him some time after he’d first left, Tobio poised in front of a mirror and script held to his chest. Oikawa had returned to pick up his gloves; they must have slipped from his coat’s pockets. He meets Tobio’s eyes, wide in the mirror’s reflection.
“Oh,” is all Tobio says. His cheeks are pink, and Oikawa distantly wonders if he’s been getting enough sleep.
A pause, before Tobio says, “Your mirror was bigger. Oikawa-san.”
Oikawa promptly forgets about picking up his gloves.
“What scene are you on?”
Tobio blinks. “Um.”
“What scene are are you practicing,” Oikawa clarifies.
“Nine,” Tobio answers, because it is exactly like Tobio to identify by number over context. Oikawa knows which scene he’s referring to, though. Tobio’s alone in this scene, after every other character has exited the room, leaving Tobio to a monologue as he considers the green screen where a window will be.
A gazebo, Oikawa remembers. The window Tobio is supposedly looking out from overlooks a gazebo beside a pond.
“I wouldn’t have guessed that scene,” Oikawa tells him.
Tobio’s frowns. “Am I missing something?”
“No,” Oikawa answers. “Rather, you look like you’re missing someone.”
Tobio doesn’t correct him, but the flush in his cheeks rises, pronounced against his cheekbones.
He looks determined, eager, attentive.
He’s beautiful.
act iii
In which there is a resolution, and an ending.
“Oikawa-san,” Tobio says, “Do you have some time after this?”
This is the last episode they’re filming. It’s late on a Thursday afternoon, and Oikawa usually heads straight to the gym from the set.
“Depends on how much time you need,” Oikawa decides.
Tobio doesn’t shift his weight from one foot or the other, but he’s balanced on the balls of his feet, as if he’d like to. “Well. That depends on you, I think.”
Oikawa tilts his head, waiting.
“–Or,” Tobio tacks on, “How much time you’d like. If you want.”
Oikawa steps closer and, when Tobio doesn’t step away, he takes another step closer still.
“And how much time would you like me to take,” Oikawa hums. Tobio’s taller than he is, now, and he tips his head up, pleased at how he can watch the realisation travel up Tobio’s face, from the gentle set of his mouth, to the wide, open look in his eyes. Oikawa can feel a smile sliding onto his face, and he makes no move to cover it.
“As much as you need, please,” Tobio breathes.
Oikawa says, “That’s quite a long time, you know,” and waits for Tobio to object.
Tobio grins, and Oikawa catches a brief slip of Tobio’s teeth before Tobio leans in.
Re: FILL: Team Kuramochi Youichi/Miyuki Kazuya, G
your writing is lovely and kind of cinematic (which fits here esp haha) and the way you write kageyama in particular is great. Tobio shatters right through them, stumbling clumsily but doggedly as if unaware of the debris he leaves behind. THAT'S SO... HIM i'm crying i love it
