bad girlfriend
the soft hand that brushes against the top of your head pulls your attention away from your phone. curious to know what had touched you, you turn around; but your curiousness fades as quickly as it had come, once you catch sight of the culprit.
"i don't want to talk." you say quickly, and make sure that your tone is harsh when you do. but he's used to it, and is never offended - if he couldn't handle you like this, what right did he have to call you his girlfriend?
"i'm your boyfriend, so i get to talk to you whenever the heck i feel like it." he plops himself down on the bench beside you, which has you shifting away slightly. childish, but that was how you were.
"iwaizumi." you're warning him now, but again, he takes no offence. he favours taking your hand with one of his; he uses the other to swipe your phone. "hey!"
"why aren't you in class?"
"i'm waiting for maths to start." you make an attempt at retrieving your phone, but iwaizumi's slipping it into his pocket before you can.
"maths is last period. right now, is second. you should be in science."
"you should be thanking me. i decided to skip class so that i don't take all my anger out on my teacher, isn't that nice of me?"
"if you're mad at me, then talk to me about it."
you scoff, clearly not finding that idea very appealing.
iwaizumi had always been someone who you admired. not that you'd ever say this out loud, but you were glad that he didn't go out of his way to avoid you, just because you were a little rude sometimes, and had a worse attitude than an isolated old man.
despite your many differences (for one iwaizumi actually turned in his homework and attended class), the two of you got along well. one thing led to another, and about a month ago, iwaizumi had asked you out officially. (you'd told him you were agreeing so that he wouldn't go home crying, but he knew what you meant).
and everything had been going great, until half an hour ago, during the start of break. iwaizumi had been tutoring you so that you'd prove a couple of classmates wrong about being good for nothing. your class had just been dismissed and your teacher had given you back your test with a smile; 98%. you'd been looking for iwaizumi, wanting to tell him the good news, when you saw him, and another girl; her arms wrapped firmly around his neck.
"i know what you saw, but if you would just let me explain-"
but you don't want him to explain.
"i'm a bad girlfriend, right?"
because you already know the answer.
"that's why you let her do that to you." you nod along as you talk, hoping that eventually, your heart will come to understand too.
"let's just break up already. this whole thing is stupid anyway."
when iwaizumi doesn't respond, you know you've hit the nail on the head. knowing you've reached your limit, you stand, muttering a quiet goodbye before taking off.
"yeah, you are a bad girlfriend." you don't get very far before he finally speaks up. "you hardly ever listen to a word i say, you talk out of your ass a whole lot, you ignore my calls, you only stick around for half of my volleyball matches, and you can't manage to stay put in class for up to twenty minutes without bickering with someone. and-"
you turn around, stomping back towards him. there's no wasted movement between the moment you stop in front of him, and yank him forward by his tie.
"and..." but even so, he isn't intimidated, not one bit. "and you always tell me that i'm in the wrong, regardless of whether it's true or not."
"but, i knew all that about you, and i still asked you to be my girlfriend didn't i?"
his hand falls on top of yours, and gently, he takes it off of his tie.
"now that's because i love you, got it?"
you realise that your lips are chapped, the moment his own land on yours. you're embarrassed by the fact, and try to pull away, but the hand cradling the back of your neck doesn't budge. he pulls back just a fraction, giving his tongue room to slide out and glide across your bottom lip, knowing it's why you won't cooperate with him. you want to laugh but don't, choosing instead to return iwaizumi's affectionate gesture.
when you open your eyes again, iwaizumi is already staring, your phone in his hand.
"you almost walked away without your phone."
"oh, shut up idiot."
