iwaizumi | 12:18
oikawa, please.
You're not dying.

oikawa | 12:19
im DYING iwaizumi
T-T

iwaizumi | 12:19
You'll feel great after the soreness fades. I promise.

oikawa rolls his eyes at this message, mostly because he knows that iwaizumi is right. After a particularly hard practice, he would feel exactly the same. His muscles would ache and burn in specific positions, sometimes for days at a time, but slowly the dull throbbing and sharp movement induced pain would subside and in it, he could feel the muscles growing stronger and more resilient and yes, iwaizumi was right, it felt great. Honestly, the feeling was unmatched, just another amazing thing that iwaizumi made oikawa feel to add to the pile of hundreds already.

oikawa | 12:20
i know...
im still pouting tho

iwaizumi | 12:20
Obviously.

oikawa starts typing out a lengthy jumble of words. Something along the lines of [ what!!! what do you MEAN obviously? what is that even supposed to mean?! you're the one that thought that taking me on a RUNNING DATE would be a good idea NOT ME and now im sore and --]. He doesn't get the chance to send it, or even finish it.

iwaizumi | 12:21
And I bet you look absolutely adorable doing so.

His face flushes and he throws his phone towards the bottom of his bed. It's one thing when iwaizumi harmlessly flirted with him before the date, but now? Now? Now, oikawa has looked up at iwaizumi and seen that smirk all because oikawa has to have his shoelaces double tied so he doesn't trip and fall on his face.

Now, oikawa has felt his arm, strong and protective around his waist. Now, oikawa has witnessed iwaizumi take the check from the waitress's hands very politely and pay for his breakfast without a single word or comment.

Now, oikawa has tasted iwaizumi's lips and remembers it so ridiculously vividly. Now, iwaizumi isn't just oikawa's best friend that he matched with on tinder and that may or may not be serious.

Now, oikawa knows that iwaizumi feels the same way about him and wants to do something about it. They are doing something about it. It's no longer a harmless flirt. It's so much more than that.

Has he gone too far? Are they going to mess up their friendship? Will they even work out? Why did he throw his phone all the way to the bottom of the bed because now he's going to have to sit up and his stomach is going to tighten and it's going to suck for how sore he is, it's basically like doing a crunch and then he's going to have to stretch and reach to get the phone from the bottom of the bed because he can't just leave iwaizumi waiting for so long, that's not very fair.

10 New Messages.

iwaizumi | 12:23
you look adorable all the time, though so..
Like, yesterday? You looked so cute after we got done running I swear.
I'm sorry I made you run, but I'm also definitely not.

iwaizumi | 12:24
I'd do it a million times over if I got to look at your bangs sticking to your forehead again and again.
And don't even get me started on before that when you were double knotting your shoes.

iwaizumi | 12:24
I mean, come on, kawa, please.
Anyway, the bottom line is.... I'm not sorry. And I don't think I should have to be.

iwaizumi | 12:25
I am sorry for blowing up your phone though.
(But not that much)
I hope you had a good time yesterday, though, actually.

ven after sending 10 consecutive messages, he's still going. oikawa knows that he should interrupt him, but it took so much effort to spin his body around to the bottom of the bed so that he could grab his phone. He's completely content in just laying on his sore stomach and reading the texts that flood in.

iwaizumi | 12:26
I had a really good time.
And not just because you were really pretty.
Or because I got to kiss you.

iwaizumi | 12:26
I mean, that was really great. Like... REALLY great.
But just hanging out with you like that was everything I could've hoped for and more.

iwaizumi | 12:27
Like I know we've hung out just the two of us a lot, but it's different, you know?
Obviously you know, but yeah.

iwaizumi | 12:27
Did you have a good time?

oikawa's body hurt from the insane amount of energy and effort he put out yesterday morning.

oikawa's face hurt from the insane amount of smiling and beaming that he was doing as he was watching iwaizumi unapologetically (I guess a little bit apologetically) message him over and over again about their date.
