[ Kuroo waits for the barrage of pictures to stop, fully aware that these pictures are a risk for both of them - Oikawa may be garbage (though Kuroo will keep his thoughts to himself on that, no matter how much he agrees with Iwaizumi's assessment), but he's also a genuinely good person inside.
Very very very deep inside. Buried under a mountain of crap. Somewhere there.
The photos with his nephew though — Kuroo's relationship with his own family mirrors his relationship with Kenma a bit, where they're pretty much left to do whatever they want. He's about as close to his parents as any regular teenager, sure, but Tokyo runs on a different timetable by virtue of being Tokyo. The volleyball club as good as family; he sees more of him than he does of his own parents, these days.
Oikawa looks genuinely happy. (It's a little bittersweet to look at.) ]
well, not everyone's into unsolicited advice. i had to tack on the disclaimer. and you're decent people, oikawa. a hell of a handful when you're missing your shampoo, but you're not terrible.
we should have more talks like this. they make you sound less like those aliens you really love.
[Deep down, yes. One day, he'll be a mature human being.
Probably when he's thirty.
Though Kuroo is wrong about one thing; sharing this pictures aren't a risk for Oikawa. Oikawa would share these pictures with strangers.
... but Takeru would be mortally embarrassed. The Oikawa clan is a really tight knit bunch. And a bunch of nerds. All of them; his parents, sister, and brother-in-law, all play MMOs together when they can. Takeru thinks they're all embarrassing.]
hmmm.. true! but I'm perfectly able to ignore if I want.
My hair doesn't look right when I don't shampoo it. You've seen it. It's a monstrosity!
We should! It feels nice to get these things off my chest.
