( in spite of their tumultuous relationship, ushijima knows that oikawa wouldn't actually do anything to harm him or sabotage him. oikawa is... mean in the eyes of some, a jerk in the eyes of others, and ushijima can understand the arguments, but he also knows he's trustworthy. he wouldn't have chased after him, wouldn't have wanted him so badly on his own team if he weren't.
because ushijima is observant enough, he sees a host of things flicker over oikawa's expression. he doesn't know how this is going to end up — not simply because oikawa is unpredictable with his outbursts — but he's operating off of what actually happened at the olympics, thinking oikawa already knows the outcome.
yet, there is this strange reaction and for a few moments ushijima doesn't know how to move forward, so, he stands there silently for a few moments in an attempt to figure out how best to handle this. then, he clears his throat and makes a small gesture. )
Almost 27, actually. ( the olympics ended just days before his birthday and then he wound up here. what a gift... ) The 2020 Olympics were held in the summer of 2021.
( another brief pause; he shifts his weight from foot to foot, glances to the side, then back toward oikawa. it feels weird to say this when oikawa clearly doesn't know. is this breaking some kind of karmic rule somewhere? does that count even after death? )
