{PROLOGUE} How They Met

oikawa pov

[ 3.00 p.m. ]

"alright, we're here!" despite his mum's cheery tone, oikawa knew it was fake. who could be cheery when they just got kicked out of their old house because they couldn't afford it? after his dad died a year ago, his mum worked triple hard to pay the bills and try to make oikawa happy but still could not afford the rent there. that's why they are here. but since his mum was making an effort to be happy, oikawa would try to be happy too.

they got out of the car and unpacked. the next door neighbour was out front, ready to greet them. there was a lady, who was about the same height as his own mum, had black hair, black eyes and tanned skin, came and helped us. the man, who was taller than the lady, had black-ish brown hair, green eyes and tanned skin, gave a nod and shook his mum's hand before going back inside. what caught his attention was the boy. he was a mixture of his parents. black hair, green eyes and tanned skin. he seemed to be glowing under the sun. even though he was only ten, he already knew that he was gay and had a couple of guy crushes already. but he had never fell in love this fast before.

"hello! i'm oikawa tooru, nice to meet you!" he plastered on a fake smile but soon melted into a real one when he saw iwaizumi slightly smiling. "iwaizumi hajime, nice to meet you too." oikawa got out his volleyball and asked, "so iwa-chan, do you play volleyball?" iwa rolled his eyes and said, "yes, but what is up with that stupid nickname?" oikawa frowned, "it's a good nickname. it's cute!" iwa sighed in defeat, knowing that he would not change oikawa's mind about calling him iwa-chan. "i wanna be a setter when i go to high school!" oikawa said as he bounced up and down while they walked to iwa's backyard. "i wanna be a wing spiker." iwa said with determination. oikawa thought it was cute how iwa's eyes shone when he said that.

even though he would never admit it, he was drawn in by oikawa. something about his pale skin, chocolate brown hair and brown eyes seemed so inviting. so, when oikawa suggested he would set for iwa to practice, he couldn't say no.

however after about an hour, iwa got tired. oikawa was still bugging him to practice more, but iwa sat under a tree for shade, not moving. iwa closed his eyes, enjoying the soft breeze... until there was something splattered on his shirt, followed by giggles. he looked down at his shirt, then at oikawa's dirty hand. he got up, scooped some mud and threw it at oikawa, dirtying his shirt like he dirtied his. "iwa-chan! how dare you!"  they got into a mud fight, they got so dirty, their face, shirts, pants and shoes all got dirty. after a while, they  both fell onto the grass, looking up at the already turning orange sky. he looked at oikawa, eyes sparkling while looking at the beautiful sky. but in iwa's eyes, oikawa was more beautiful. WAIT WHAT WHY DID HE THINK THAT?!

"hey iwa-chan, this has been fun but i need to go back to my house." iwa nodded, even though he was sad that he had to go. after watching oikawa running back to his new house, he sat up and walked into his house.

when he went in, his mother saw how dirty he was and raised an eyebrow. iwa explained what happened and she grinned. "ohhh, you and that kid, oikawa?" she teased. iwa blushed and immediately denied it.his father smiled and looked up from his newspaper. "yui, dont tease him, he is only 10." iwa nodded vigorous. but, his father continued,"there is something between you two though..." iwa blushed furiously. "you guys are the worst!" iwa yelled as he stomped up the stairs and went into his room. he changed his clothes and went down to eat dinner.

during dinner, iwa's mother kept teasing him about oikawa and his dad and sister kept giggling. iwa was blushing all throughout the dinner. he finished quickly so that he could go up to his room. when he got in his room, he flopped down on his bed. even though he just met oikawa, he got a feeling he would be in his life for a long time.

when he got back, his mother questioned what happened. after hearing, she was teasing him throughout the day. oikawa couldnt take it and stormed into his room, banging the door. he sat on his bed, thinking about iwa-chan. before he knew it, his face turned beet red. he lied down and slowly drifted off into sleep...

"hey mrs.iwaizumi, did you hear about our boys?"

"about how they were flirting right in my backyard? yeah."

"when do you think they will get together? i say when they are in high school, first year."

"my son is so oblivious. there is no way he would realise his feelings that early. i say when they are in high school, third year."

"bet $50?"

"bet."
