Love Story - IwaOi

Chapter 14

All eyes were on Oikawa. He looked across the room and made eye contact with Iwaizumi. Iwaizumi’s face would seem expressionless to most, but Oikawa could tell he was upset. I love Iwaizumi. That’s all I  know, but what if this is for the best. I mean Iwaizumi basically ended whatever relationship we had, but he said he wished he could change it. This is probably the better option for the kingdom. Oikawa thought. Oikawa looked away from Iwaizumi and nodded sadly. 
Ushijima stood up and slipped the ring on Oikawa’s finger while the crowd clapped. Everyone in the crowd was happy but the Oikawa’s, Iwaizumi, and Tendo who was hiding his face. Matsukawa and Hanamaki didn’t look all that happy either. 
“I promise you won’t regret this,” Ushijima whispered in Oikawa’s ear as he hugged him. 
〜
The ball ended not very long after that. All the guests gave their congratulations. There was an awkward silence surrounding the Oikawa’s.
“I’m going to bed,” Toru said walking away not waiting for a response. 
He opened the door to his room to find Hanamaki waiting for him. 
〜
    “Iwaizumi I know your there,” the king said loudly enough, so Iwaizumi could hear him through the king’s study door. Iwaizumi entered the room with Matsukawa right behind him. The king, queen, and their daughter were already in the room. 
    “Hello Matsukawa. I didn’t think I’d see you here,” the king said. 
    “Wait how do you know him,” Iwaizumi asked. 
    “He’s dating my son’s attendant, who has been looking after Toru since they both 14, do you really think I wouldn’t know him. We even see Hanamaki our son,” the king said. 
    “I see. Anyway here I came to bring you this,” Iwaizumi said holding out the box that contains the ring they gave him.
    “Not so fast,” Oikawa’s sister said. 
    “Why what’s the point. He’s engaged to someone else now,” Iwaizumi said.
    “Did my brother look happy to you?” Oikawa’s sister asked.
    “No he didn’t then I don’t see why they should be together,” his sister finished.
    “Maki, already went to talk to him,” Matsukawa said.
    “Why are you guys trying so hard?” Iwaizumi asked.
    “It’s simple. My son has given up so much already as this country’s prince. He is doing this not because he wants to, but because he feels it’s whats best for the kingdom. That is not what this kingdom needs though. He needs to stop making so much sacrifices,” the queen said. 
    “It didn’t seem like Prince Ushijima was all too thrilled about the engagement either,” the king added.
    “I suppose your right,” Iwaizumi said. 
    “Now we are going to have leave this to Maki in the mean time let’s plan an alternative proposal,” Oikawa’s sister said
〜
“Your an idiot,” Maki said.
“What are you talking about,” Oikawa asked.
“Are you serious? You're obviously in love with Iwaizumi so why would say yes to Ushijima,” Hanmaki argued. 
“Because it’s whats best for the kingdom,” Oikawa said. Hanamaki stalked over to Oikawa and swung his arm. Oikawa felt a sting on his cheek. 
“Don’t you ever think about yourself for once! Stop worrying about your kingdom and worry about yourself for once!” Hanamaki yelled. 
“I have to find Ushijima and call this thing off,” Oikawa said taking off the ring and holding it in his hand. 
〜
 “No congratulations?” Ushijima asked Tendo while they were in Ushijima’s room.
“Wakatoshi I’m sorry,” Tendo said. 
“Sorry for wha-..” Ushijima started, but was interrupted when Tendo smashed his lips onto Ushijima. Ushijima  thread his hands through Tendo’s red hair and pulled him impossibly closer. Tendo pulled away to catch his breath. 
“I can’t let you marry Oikawa because I love you,” Tendo said. Ushijima cupped Tendo’s face with his hand. 
“I didn’t know you felt the same way,” Ushijima said. There was an urgent knock on the door. Ushijima reluctantly pulled away from Tendo to answer the door. He opened the door to find Oikawa.
“What are you-,” Ushijima started.
“I can’t go through with the wedding,” Oikawa said. 
“I’m glad we can both agree with that,” Ushijima said.
“Wait really?” Oikawa said. 
“Yes,” Ushijima said. 
“Here’s your ring back I have to go fix something’s with someone,” Oikawa said handing Ushijima his ring before taking off. 
Oikawa basically sprinted back to his room where he thought Hanamaki would be waiting for him, but instead he found a trail of rose petals leading to his balcony. He followed the petals out to the edge of his balcony. He looked out onto the garden and sure enough there stood Iwaizumi smiling up at him.
“Toru we met in not the best of circumstances, and our relationship wasn’t always the best. However if I know one thing it’s that I am helplessly in love with you,” Iwaizumi said. Iwaizumi bent down on one knee. “Toru Oikawa will you marry me?” Iwaizumi asked. 
Oikawa didn’t responded he quickly went over to the vines that Iwaizumi used to use to climb onto his balcony. Oikawa was climbing down the vines when he felt a pair of hands on his hips. He didn’t even have to look to know it was Iwaizumi. Oikawa let go of the vines trusting Iwaizumi completely. Iwaizumi set Oikawa on the ground. 
Oikawa turned around and kissed Iwaizumi. They tangled their hands into each other’s hair. The pulled away reluctantly. “Yes,” Oikawa whispered. 
Iwaizumi slipped the ring on Oikawa’s finger and pulled him in for another kiss.
