Her Lensed World

Since middle school you and the popular Oikawa Tooru have shared the same school. Even now in the third and last year of your high school days, you are classmates with the brunet boy. Bored in class you rested your chin on your palm. In front of you was your black DSLR camera resting peacefully on top of your table. You stared at it for a bit and look out switch your gaze to the blue never ending sky.



Ring rung the bell goes breaking your trance. [f/n-chaaan]! You heard a certain boy whine.  Sighing you look up to Oikawa and gave him a questioning look. “What is it, Okawa-kun?” You asked with a monotonous voice. “Take a picture of me, pleaaaseee~” He begged making him look like a puppy.


“No.” was your simple answer and left clutching your camera. “Ehhh but why?” Oikawa asked trying to catch up to you.



“Because I don’t need to…” You flatly answered. You went outside to the school’s backyard and sat under the shade of a tree. It’s true that you were known for taking pictures of different people and events, and you were quite the beauty but you rarely smiled. You angled your camera upward and adjusted the lens to your liking, and pressed the shutter button.



Feeling a gust of wind passed through, making your [h/l] [h/c] locks dance with the wind, you closed your eyes. “I don’t need to take your picture… anymore.” You stood up and returned to the classroom.



~Timeskip~


As Oikawa was entertaining his fangirls he saw you walking by. [f/n-chan]! He exclaimed but you ignored him. He however noticed that you did it on purpose.“Uwaah so mean [f/n]-chan.” He fake cried.



After classes were done you went to visit the gymnasium and watch the volleyball club. It wasn’t unusual for you because you were there regularly, but not as one of Oikawa’s fangirl. You pushed the metal door and went in. You were greeted by the team and you returned the greeting as well.


“Hi [l/n].” Iwaizumi greeted.


“[f/n]-chaaan you’re so mean!” Oikawa whined as he glomped onto you. You however were discomforted by his hug.



“Oi! Assikawa get off of [l/n].” He tried to get in between you and Oikawa, but the brown headed boy clung onto you tighter. Feeling your face get hotter from the embarrassment you finally thought of something.



“Umm… Oikawa-kun I’ll take a photo of you if you let go of me.” You reluctantly said and Oikawa beamed and let go of you. You lift you black DSLR that was hanging on a strap around your neck. You positioned and adjusted the lens, and click, you took a photo of Oikawa.


After taking his picture, a question suddenly popped out of your head. “Ne… Oikawa-kun, why do you want me to take your picture so badly?” You asked looking down on the camera you are holding.


“That’s because I want to be in your world.” He answered but you didn’t get what he meant.


“Nice one Oikawa!” One of the members patted Oikawa’s back. And they went back to practice.


“Eh? What does that mean?” You tilted your head in confusion. “Ne… Iwaizumi-kun I don’t get what he means.” Iwaizumi sighed and ruffled your hair. “You’ll get it soon.” He runs towards his team leaving you dumbfounded.

The next day as Oikawa entered the room he noticed the girls surrounding your table. Curious he moves towards you and he froze in place as he saw what you were doing.


“3 for 2 000 yen, so are you gonna take it?” You asked holding out 3 pictures of Oikawa to a girl. She gave you the cash and grabbed the pictures. “Nice doing with you.”




“Uwaah! [f/n]-chan! What are you doing?” The volleyball captain asks. “Selling photos of you.” You bluntly said. “But-” He was cut off by the sound of the bell.
After classes you did the same routine. You went to the gymnasium but Oikawa was walking beside you. Once you got in, Oikawa cleared his throat. “[F/n] I like you!” He suddenly blurted out, and a blush tried to creep on your face, but you resisted it.



“B-b-but didn’t you had a girlfriend?” You stuttered, and thinking he was just kidding. Oikawa was about to speak up, but was hit by a volleyball by Iwaizumi. You thanked the spiky black haired biy and sat on the benches.



You started taking pictures of the practice game. You yourself loved volleyball, but in the middle of picturing you noticed that you’ve been focusing on Oikawa. You turned off your camera, remembering something unpleasant.

*Flashback*

“Stay away from Tooru, will you?” The girl demanded, remembering she was his girlfriend. She was holding your digital camera up high and released it, falling to the ground. You picked it up and check the camera if it was still functioning, unfortunately it didn’t. You bit your lip to prevent yourself from making any sobbing sound.

*End of Flashback*



And that is why you stop taking pictures of him because of the trauma. The events from before might repeat itself. And unknown to you, you have locked your feelings for him since long ago.

After practice in the boys’ locker Oikawa and Iwaizumi had a conversation with each other. “Oi Assikawa are you serious with what you said to [l/n]?” Iwaizumi asked with a serious voice. “I am, but she isn’t taking it seriously.” Oikawa answered.


“Just don’t push her. Okay? She’s been through a lot and there’s reason why she always hold a camera.” Iwaizumi stated.


“Eh? Why?” Oikawa questioned as he changed his shirt. “Well… She likes to take pictures of what she loves.” Iwaizumi explained, and Oikawa felt his heart crushed. His mind filled with questions like does it mean he hates Oikawa and how come she didn’t tell him this?


The next day you were a monitor, in charge of the log book. After finishing writing the logs for today you rested your old digital camera which you had repaired after what happened in middle school. Yawning you rested your head and fell asleep


~*~

After practice Oikawa went to the classroom and saw you sleeping. He sat in front of your desk and played with your [h/c] hair lightly. He noticed the worn out camera beside you. He checked it’s content making him blush. He saw lots of pictures of him and he remembered what Iwaizumi said. “She takes pictures of what she loves.”


Oikawa felt his face get warmer and decided to confess to you again. You woke up seeing the sky was already orange signaling that the sun was already setting. She looked up and saw Oikawa.



“[l/n] [f/n] I Like you! So please go out with me.” He confessed and you saw he was holding your old camera. You felt your chest get heavier, the two things which caused you to lock your feelings. It was Oikawa and the camera that was thrown when you were bullied by his past girlfriend. You knew you can’t get close to him as to not get bullied once more.


“I’m sorry. B-but thank you.” You grabbed your camera from his grip, get your bag, and you left him.





“I will not give up on you [f/n].” He mumbled to himself, frozen in place not expecting to be rejected, because he was Oikawa. The popular Oikawa Tooru who had been rejected for the first time by a girl named [l/n] [f/n].
