When Our Eyes Meet {Iwaoi}

Sixteen // Oikawa's POV

I was on my ninth lap around the track by the time I called it quits. Out of breath and completely disoriented I make a beeline for the locker room in desperate need of a shower.  It was already near dinner time and I'm sure my parents were beginning to question my whereabouts. 

I didn't have it in me to tell my parents about my plans for the future and which college I truly wanted to attend. Somehow my mind told me that tonight was the perfect night to tell them. It's something I've wanted for the longest time now and I hope they understand. Otherwise I'd have to go against their wishes and do as I please. And I know for certain that neither of us wanted that so hopefully we can all come to an agreement or even a compromise.

Iwa-chan was suppose to come over tonight I was very happy that I was going to get to see him. Especially after that shocking revelation. Who knew that someone who looks as though they're heartless on the outside had feelings such as those. It made me think of how pure he really was. 

I reached out to grab my things and that's when I saw the faint light of my phone inside one of the pockets of my gym bag. I had received a message. With one glance I knew it couldn't have been Iwa-chan. Because he had plans and that's why he cancelled on me. At first I thought it was because he was embarrassed or perhaps even flustered and nervous. But it was the complete opposite his father requested- no demanded that he needed him for something important. He told me he would fill me on everything once he returned. 

I could be patient. 

Just a little. 

Grabbing my phone I see that it was someone who sent me an attachment. Nothing else but the folder that appeared on my screen. Sent on a text message with nothing else attached, not even  a note of any sort. 

What frightened me was that it was sent by an anonymous user. Should I open it? Those were my first thoughts. I didn't like the idea of not knowing who the sender was. Slowly I open the text, my curiosity getting the better of me.  

I don't think my heart had ever missed a beat that quickly upon seeing one image. Anxiety coursed through my veins, my heart beating at such an intense speed. Soon after a message was delivered. 

"I'm sure lover boy would die to see this. Wouldn't he?" 

"Don't bother, I know exactly what you're thinking and he's already seen it." 

The last text sent by the anonymous had struck my last nerve. "However, he's even seen it with his own two eyes and now he's got a lifetime image. Enjoy." 

Tossing my phone across my room I watch as the screen shatters upon impact. The loud sound of it hitting the wall and then the floor echoes and I cover my ears. Not wanting to hear anything but Iwaizumi's forgiveness. It was a mistake that I couldn't quite remember at the time but I sure as hell do now. 

It was a picture of me kissing some third year in our class. 

Dammit!

I can't do anything right.  

Iwa-chan...

***

Sitting down beside my mother I look up to see my father looking at me daringly. "Hello dear." Mom pats my shoulder grinning wildly placing all my college acceptance letters in from of me. There's was only one right choice for me. 

"Dad I'm sorry." My voice was barely above a whisper. I take the only one I wanted from my bag sitting on the floor. I hand it to my mother who silently hands it to my father who frowns down at the envelope with a knowing expression. 

"Is it because of that boy or is it because this is what you want?" He says looking down at me. 

"What?"

"I will not repeat myself. Just answer honestly son." I look up at him and think for a moment. 

"This is for me dad. It's always been about what I wanted, not Hajime." I don't even know why he would even think such things. My decisions would never be based off of someone else no matter the love, relationship or any sort of feelings. I do the things of my future for me and no one else. 

He looked as though he wanted to say something and the little voice in the back of my mind was yelling 'just say it!'

However, I wasn't expecting this.

"I'm proud of you, son." I glanced over and my mom was smiling. They knew. All this time and they knew. 

"I love you." 

"I love you too, son. Now go and get him." That's all it took for me to literally run from the table and out the door to Iwa-chan's house. 

By the time I got there he was already outside yelling at someone. His neighbour?

"It was you! Why are you doing this!" His voice was nothing like I've ever heard before. So cold and menacing. I wanted to hold him and tell him to calm down but I knew I couldn't do that. I had to make things right first. 

"Why you ask? You know exactly why Hajime." 

"Don't you dare say my name like we're friends because we aren't, not even close Akimura." Akimura? Does he even go to our school? I don't think I've ever heard his name before. 

"Sorry, sorry Iwaizumi." Iwa-chan glared at the slightly taller boy having him lean back with a tight frown.  

"Leave." 

"And what if I don't." I finally stepped closer and Hajime noticed as I stepped into the light. The street light above all our heads being the only source of light. 

I look down upon Akimura. 

"He said leave or I'll make you." I grimaced in his direction looking him up and down then at Iwa-chan. 

"Go inside, I'll meet you in there." He didn't say anything and stormed inside. I cursed under my breath for making him feel that way. 

"So you're the culprit. You like making others feel like shit huh? What do you even get out of it, satisfaction?" I lean in closer to get a better look. He sure had looks even I could admit that but that personality is just so rotten it makes me cringe. 

"He should have never chosen you. I don't get what he even sees in you." he snarled. Ahh a little crush that was unrequited. Of course, now this is all starting to make more sense. 

"Hurt him again and you'll have me to deal with." He didn't say anything and once we made eye contact he took a step back. I wasn't messing around, every word that left my mouth had a hidden meaning. He turned around and walked back to his house. I stared at Iwa-chan's front door before making my way towards it. I sighed knowing I'd have a lot to explain.

I'm so sorry baby.
