Iwaizumi's POV
"This is it, Iwaizumi." He placed his hand on the door knob and twisted it open.

He was slowly opening the door...

"As soon as I open this door, everything is going to chan....ge."

He paused as his eyes grew twice in size at the scene in front of him.

The door was now fully opened.

And it opened to reveal (F/N) and Akaashi...

KISSING.

Iwaizumi stood there for a minute repeatedly blinking his eyes to make sure he wasn't imagining what was in front of him.

Then finally, (F/N)'s eyes fluttered opened and met with Iwaizumi's.

And that's when Iwaizumi knew that this was all real.

He was in shock, and (F/N) looked like she had just seen a ghost.

He couldn't continue to look at what was happening in front of him and dashed off.

The last thing he saw was (F/N) pushing Akaashi away, probably embarrassed that someone had seen them. They were in the closet, so obviously they wanted some privacy is what Iwaizumi thought.

He ran out the front door. His heart was beating fast, but... it also felt broken. His breathing was unsteady.

He just saw his childhood friend...
the girl he realized he has feelings for...
the girl he loves...
kissing someone. Someone that wasn't him.

"I mean if she did like me, she would've told me a long time ago, right?" He knew it was too good to be true. Iwaizumi got his hopes up and now they were crushed.

He continued running. He ran further, and further until he couldn't see the house from where he was, then stopped. His hands were on his knees, panting at a loss of breath as he ended up outside of a local convenience store.

He was heartbroken. Where does he go from here? Can he still look at (F/N) the same way? After he realized he was in love with her, and she doesn't feel the same way... What happens now?

Iwaizumi took deep breaths, in and out to steady his breathing.

Then, he remembered the look on (F/N)'s face like she was in shock too when Iwaizumi saw her in the closet.

"Wait, is it going to be weird between us because I saw them kissing? She's probably embarrassed. Maybe I should text her..."

Iwaizumi pulled his phone out of his pocket, went to his messages app, and clicked (F/N)'s name. The mere sight of her name pulling at his heart strings, bringing him pain.

Iwaizumi began typing...

"Sorry I walked in on you and Akaashi"

He deleted that, and typed again.

"Sorry I saw you and Akashi kissing"

And he deleted that message too.

"What am I sorry for? Ugh, sorry for myself for thinking she felt the same way."

But all Iwaizumi really wanted to do was say "I love you" to (F/N), but it was too late. He never even had a chance.

Iwaizumi slammed his phone on the ground, never sending a text to (F/N). His hands making their way to his hair as he pulled on the strands in anger.

After a few minutes passed and he tried his best to calm down, he picked up his phone to text Oikawa.

Iwaizumi
I left
She doesn't feel the same way

Then, the horrific scene appeared in Iwaizumi's head again... replaying over and over.

(F/N)'s hands were holding Akaashi's face towards her, and his hands caressing hers. Her lips moving passionately against Akaashi's own. Her eyes closed enjoying the romantic moment, deepening the kiss.

Iwaizumi felt his heart break little by little every time he thought about what he witnessed.

Frustrated, he punched the side wall of the convenience store. Then, he laid his back against it, slid to the ground, and was now sitting.

He felt so many emotions running through the course of his body. Shock. Sadness. Disappointment.

Heartbreak.

"I knew I shouldn't have listened to Shittykawa. This why I never talk about my feelings."

Iwaizumi's olive green orbs began to water. A single tear escaped from his right eye, but he quickly wiped it off with the sleeve of his jean jacket.

"I should've known that it wouldn't have worked out in the first place."

He sat there in silence for a bit longer, thinking. Thinking about his feelings for (F/N), his friendship with her, what he was to her...

"A friend. That's what I am. That's all I am to her."

*DING DING*

Shittykawa
I'm with (Y/N)-chan now
Please get home safely

Even though Iwaizumi was upset, he was glad to know that (F/N) was safe with Oikawa.

Iwaizumi sighed. It was now almost 2am and he realized he should start to make his way home. He decided to walk instead of taking an Uber back to clear his head. He looked up the directions to his house on his phone.

"Ugh, 20 minutes." He stood up and started walking.

During his walk home, Iwaizumi's brain was in a jumble.

He knew he didn't want things to be different between him and (F/N), but he just had a feeling they would be. How could be go back to just seeing her as a friend? And if she is dating Akaashi, how is he going to face her everyday, knowing she's someone else's?

Iwaizumi made it home and went straight to his room. After showering, he got in bed and noticed the picture frame on his bedside table.

A picture of him, Oikawa, and (F/N) when they were kids. "When times were easier... and we didn't have to think about love." He smiled slightly while placing his phone next to the picture frame.

The events of tonight were still replaying in his head. His heart still in the same condition... broken. He didn't know what would happen next, but what can he do?

She didn't choose him.

"How did everything go wrong?" and with that, Iwaizumi slowly drifted to sleep.

It was lowkey hard to write this chapter. I think because I have no idea what men think when they're heartbroken... LOL

Anyways, I really tried my best and I hope you all enjoyed this chapter still. 🥺

Happy (late) Thanksgiving! ❤️
