There’s only one rule. “Don’t mention it.” That’s what Oikawa whispered into Hajime’s trembling lips after he’d kissed him into the lockers of the changing room. Don’t mention it, that’s the rule Hajime hears as a painful echo inside his head when Oikawa laughs at a group of girl, waves, smile bright and warm like the mouth he kisses Hajime with and stole his heart out of his chest. 

But Hajime’s never been one for rules. “Why the fuck do you keep kissing me? Why shouldn’t I mention it?” He asks when Oikawa’s pressing him against the lockers once more, long fingers buried in Hajime’s hair, eyes alight with victory, possession, and something so dark that Hajime swallows, hard. 

Oikawa jolts as if he’s been hit and backs off. “Because I don’t wanna hear you say it.” His voice trembles, broken around its frail edges. Hajime’s had enough. He catches Oikawa’s wrist, pulling him close, but Oikawa tries to fight, presses both hands against Hajime’s chest - and then, a shimmer of wetness on his cheeks. 

“You don’t get it, do you.” He sounds so tiny, Hajime thinks, and that’s enough. His hands find the small of Oikawa’s back, fitting there like they’re earth and wind and belong together underneath the stars and all of the planets. 

“You don’t wanna hear me say what?” 

Oikawa looks at him. His eyes are drowned galaxies, bottom lip shivering. “I don’t wanna hear you say ‘stop it already’. Or ‘that’s disgusting’. Or - “ 

“You are so goddamn dense.” Hajime’s mouth is soft on Oikawa’s, melts against his skin, and Oikawa’s eyes go wide. Hajime sighs. His best friend’s always been insecure, underneath all that fire and smoke he radiates during a game. “Listen carefully.” And Hajime leans their foreheads together, breathing in Oikawa’s scent, thumb caressing his tear-damp cheek. “Kiss me. Kiss me all you want, whenever you want - but I’m going to be the only one, got it?” 

Oikawa’s grin returns, sharp and burning. “Is that your new rule?” He asks. Hajime replies with a kiss, and warm hands on Oikawa’s cheeks, wiping the tears away.
