IWA ENTERPRISE GROUP CHAT

[better miya added Hana]

Better miya: ??

Hana: best sex ever.

It wasn't different.

Iwaizumi thought, as he stared at his father.

They were sitting in his office, across each other as Hotaru was telling him a story about some dog getting lost at the cruise he was at. He was smiling, he told it like it was fun. As if Iwaizumi should give him a medal for finding the dog.

Iwaizumi wasn't paying attention. He couldn't. All of his father's words sounded jumbled to him. It felt as if they were standing on opposite sides of a railway track.

And when the train whooshed past them, Iwaizumi could hear his father's laughter and see his smiling face through the tainted window glass.

He was an outsider.

He had been kept on the outside all his life.

The man who put him there was in front of him, laughing.

Iwaizumi blinked.

He took a second to look at his office's door, far behind his father, wide open and welcoming. What would it feel like to just run away?

He blinked again and exhaled slowly, "what happened to the underaged girl you slept with?"

His father's smile froze, ". . . what?"

"What happened to her? You didn't deny it when Oikawa said it."

The realisation set in and his father let out a surprised snort, "I didn't sleep with any underage girl."

Iwaizumi frowned.

"Oikawa saw a picture of me and Yachi and he merely assumed. It was all over media— but you know who she is."

"Why were you with Yachi?"

"She's going to be 18 next year, move out of the orphanage. We were finalising her legal documents."

"Oh."

His father clicked his tongue, "you know she is like you to me."

He knew.

"Why did you admit it, then?" Iwaizumi looked at him again, "why did you say 'it depends on the country' —

Hotaru threw up his hand, "I didn't want to put her in the spotlight. Oikawa keeping tabs on me is fine but no way I'm going to jeopardize her future," he shook his head, "it's better if he thinks she wasn't someone important."

"Oikawa doesn't keep tabs on you."

"Yeah. You'd be surprised."

They both stared at each other, obviously annoyed. It was snowing outside, which was even more annoying. Nothing was more irritating than his father ruining his life on a snowy night.

He wished Oikawa would take him away right now.

"I'm not a monster, Hajime. I'd never do something like that. And I would never hurt Yachi. You know that."

He knew. He didn't say anything so Hotaru continued.

"You mind telling me why you're asking me this now?"

Iwaizumi frowned. He could feel all the words spilling out, "I barely see you. When was I supposed to ask?"

His father sat up straighter now. He could probably tell something was wrong.
