Love Story - IwaOi

Chapter 11

The matches continued. Oikawa had just defeated Hanamaki. Maki was preparing to spar against Matsukawa to see who will take third place.  
    “Start,” the commander said. Neither of them made a move to attack the other. 
    “What are you scared to get close,” Maki taunted. 
    “As if,” Matsukawa said as he began to charge at Maki. Their swords clashed. 
    Oikawa wasn’t really spying attention to the two in the ring. Oikawa’s next sparring partner was Iwaizumi. Oikawa was beginning to drift off into his own thoughts. The only thing keeping his thought from completely consuming him was the sound of swords clashing and the slight sting on his cheek where Maki had managed to nic his cheek. 
    “Match,” the commander said, successfully snapping Oikawa out of his thoughts. Maki managed to push Matsukawa out of the ring. So far that’s how all of the matches have ended. 
    “Better luck next time,” Maki said walking away from the sulking Matsukawa. 
    “For the last match between the prince and our prodigy knight there will be some slight rule changes. Number one, you may use two swords. The choice is yours. Secondly, you can not win this match by forcing your opponent out of the ring. However try to keep the fight inside of the ring. Now let’s go you two,” the commander said. Hanamaki handed Oikawa his sword without Oikawa even having to ask. “You better take first,” Hanamaki said. Easier said than done. Oikawa thought. Both of them mae their way into the ring. Iwaizumi with only one sword, and Oikawa with two. 
    “Start,” the commander said. 
    Oikawa didn’t waste any time before going in for the first attack. Iwaizumi had blocked it easily. Oikawa backed off in order to make a plan, but Iwaizumi was not going to sit around. Iwaizumi went in for an attack of his own. They swords were pressing against each other. Iwaizumi’s face was next to Oikawa’s ear. 
    “I’m surprised you let that attendant of your’s actually land a hit,” Iwaizumi pretty much whispered into Oikawa’s ear. 
    “I’ve got to boost his confidence somehow,” Oikawa whispered back slightly out of breath. Iwaizumi chuckled. Iwaizumi pulled back slightly. Dodging Oikawa’s blades as he cut into Oikawa’s right wrist. Iwaizumi’s eyes widened.
    Both of them jumped back away from one another. Oikawa didn’t want to draw out this fight. Oikawa’s arms were at his sides. Blood was seeping out his wound on his wrist. He thought up a plan. He tossed the sword in his right hand up into the air. Iwaizumi’s eyes followed the sword. Oikawa took this opportunity to knock Iwaizumi over. Iwaizumi lost his grip on his sword and Oikawa pushed it out of his hand. 
    Oikawa was now in a position where he was straddling Iwaizumi’s waist with his hung by Iwaizumi’s ear. Oikawa had his sword slightly pressed against Iwaizumi’s side enough so Iwaizumi knew it was there, but not enough to cut him. 
“Good job,” Iwaizumi whispered into Oikawa’s ear. 
“5...4...3...2...1. Match,” the commander said. Oikawa got off of Iwaizumi. Iwaizumi stood up and brushed himself off. 
“You should get that checked out,” Iwaizumi said gesturing to Oikawa’s wrist. Oikawa walked past Iwaizumi and brushed shoulders with him. “Why did you let me win?” Oikawa whispered loud enough for Iwaizumi to hear as he walked past.
Iwaizumi was shocked that Oikawa managed to figure out that Iwaizumi had basically given up and let him win. I didn’t want to hurt you more than I already did. Iwaizumi thought. 
Oikawa walked over to the medics who had him sit down. They began to clean and stitch up the wound. It was deeper than Oikawa thought. Hanamaki walked over to Oikawa.
“Good job on the win,” Hanamaki said. 
“He let me win,” Oikawa said. 
“No way. You won that fair and square,” Hananmaki reasoned.
“If he tried he could have easily gotten free,” Oikawa said. Maki sighed. 
“Your highness believe me if he could have gotten free I’m sure he would have,” Maki said. Oikawa nodded not wanting to argue with Maki anymore. Besides its not like Maki knew that Oikawa and Iwaizumi knew each other before this. 
The nurses had just finished wrapping up Oikawa’s wrist, and the knights were cleaning up the training grounds when they walked into the training grounds. Prince Ushijima and his knight Tendo. 
“This is what you were busy doing,” Ushijima said as he made his way across the training grounds with Tendo. Iwaizumi watched them silently while cleaning up.
“Yes, I think that I should know how to protect myself if need be and what better way to learn how than training with the knights,” Oikawa responded.
“Ah I see. Well if your not too injured do you think you could show us to the library there are some books I’d like to read,” Ushijima said. Oikawa sighed knowing that eventually he’d probably have to give them a tour.
“Why don’t I give that tour now,” Oikawa said.
