" Unveiled "

After the incident that occurred, we walked back to the restaurant in complete silence. Iwaizumi trailed behind us with his head down staring at his feet.

You were concerned of course. Iwaizumi distanced himself and wanted to give you space to clear what had just happened from your mind.

"Don't worry about Iwa-chan okay," Tooru said resting his hand on your back. You fake smiled and sighed as you all walked into the restaurant with Iwaizumi following behind you, Tooru, and Takeru.

We sat back in our original seats and noticed our food had been delivered. "That's strange? They still served out food even when we left." You questioned grabbing a fork, messing around with your egg. "I told them we'd be back so they expected us to return," Tooru said shoving a piece of ham in his mouth.

Iwaizumi silently ate away at his plate of food. You couldn't help but keep giving him glances to see if you'd catch his attention.

"That guy back there was such a meanie," Takeru said crossing his arms. "Yeah, also I noticed the guy even had a tongue piercing," Tooru said lying his fork down. "I noticed that too while he was breathing down my neck." You mumbled.

"Let's just not recall those times and enjoy the now." Tooru nervously smiled. "I promise we won't let something like that happen again (y/n)." Takeru confidently stated tugging at your sleeve. You nodded, "Thanks Takeru." You said patting his head.

"(y/n)." Iwaizumi said blankly. You were in dismay as he spoke so suddenly, "Hm yeah Iwa?"

Iwaizumi stood up and grabbed your hand bring you behind the restaurant. "Iwa, what's wrong?" You asked as you let go of your hand.

He gulped deeply, "Sorry, I became so distant like that." He said rubbing his arm. "No, Iwa it's okay-" "No it's not." Iwaizumi said cutting you off.

In Iwaizumi's eyes, you could tell he regrets not keeping his eyes on you. He should have told you to bring your phone with you. "I'm sorry that I wasn't trying my hardest." He said clenching his fists.

He was taking this to heart. His voice began to break as he continued on, "I was thinking about Ushijima... and how he must have been a better boyfriend for you. I feel as though, I can't provide enough and that I can't match up to him."

Hearing Iwaizumi saying those words was like a stab wound to the chest. You felt the sides of your head throb a little as he expressed his true emotions.

"Yeah Iwaizumi... you don't compare to Ushijima. Not even a little bit." You said feeling your heart sink into your stomach. Iwaizumi stood there with watery eyes staring back at you.

Thinking aloud, you clenched your fists. "You're beyond Ushijima completely." You said feeling your tears well up from the sides of your eyes. Iwaizumi was left aghast at your avowal.

"I thought I I can never match up to anyone of your stature because of this sphere I've lived in. You know this as much as I know, it was maybe just fate that you ever decided to talk to me. Look at where we are now..." You cried feeling your hot tears stream down your cheek.

Iwaizumi had no idea you'd react this way to his confession and he didn't feel the need of holding his inner thoughts back anymore.

He still stayed silent as you released your anger, "Even now you still leap in to save me." You wiped your tears. You reached out and grabbed both Iwaizumi's hands.

"I'm so happy your with me Iwa." You softly spoke intertwining your fingers with his. Iwaizumi's hands were so warm compared to yours.

Iwaizumi leaned in and lied his head on your shoulder, "I'm happy too." He said beginning to cry. You wrapped your arms around him, "After everything you've done for me Iwa. I want to pay you back after all this time." You smiled.

- few moments later -

You all had finished your breakfast and headed off to do some shopping. Tooru tapped your shoulder, "So what happened?" He asked.

You turned your head slightly and saw Iwaizumi was holding onto Takeru's hand and pointing out which store to go to so he seemed distracted.

"It was nothing really Tooru. I just told him I need to pay him back.. after everything he's done for me." You smiled.

"I think just being with you is enough for Iwa-chan. I mean that's what I think." Tooru smirked and softly patted your head. "What does that mean?" You asked.

"Nothing, come on let's go to this store." Tooru said pointing at a clothes store.

We all walked in almost like a little family and window shopped for a little while.

Takeru suddenly tugged at my sleeve, "Hm, what is it Takeru?" You asked kneeling down slightly. "Iwaizumi is calling you." He said. "Oh?" You looked over to Iwaizumi.

He was waving in the back of the store and I sprinted over to him. "What is it?" You asked. "This." Iwaizumi said showing you this beautiful dress. "A dress?" You said in confusion as he handed you the beautiful silky dress.

"This dress is beautiful." You said observing the fabric. "I could get it for you if you'd like." Iwaizumi blushed shoveling his hands in his pockets. "Iwa, no it's fine." You sighed and handed the dress back to him.

Iwaizumi stopped your hand from reaching him, "I just really wanna see you wearing it.. that's all." "But you don't have to buy it, here I'll try it on here." You smiled and took back the dress running over to the dressing room.

You had no idea why Iwaizumi would be so interested in seeing you in a dress but you wanted to do the best you could to make him happy. Quickly slipping your hands through the sleeves and dusted yourself off, you walked out the dressing room.

"Okay." You sighed and pushed the curtain to the side. Iwaizumi was talking with Oikawa and Takeru but his attention was magnified toward you the moment you walked out the dressing room.

Even Oikawa and Takeru were left speechless.
"(y/n)." Iwaizumi said approaching you. "Yes?" You questioned feeling your cheeks burn up. "Your stunning." He whispered as he caressed your face with his warm hand.

"Why did you want me to wear this in the first place?" You asked taking his hand off your face and holding it. "It's almost Christmas time right?" He asked squeezing your hand. You nodded.

Iwaizumi gulped, "The school hosts an annual christmas festival every year and I wanted to get you a dress for the festival." He nervously smiled.

"Really..." you said squeezing his hand back. He nodded and looked down at his shoes in embarrassment. "I want this festival to be special since this is our last year (y/n)." Iwaizumi said holding your hand up to his lips and softly kissing it.

You blushed and smiled, "Well then I guess.. let's get the dress then. But I'm paying half alright!" You chuckled.

"Fine." Iwaizumi patted your head as he pulled out his wallet with his other hand.
