Mercy (Kyotani/Maddog)

Chapter 12: This... Werid Air.

When you made it to your room you released all the air you'd been holding in your lungs since the second Iwaizumi had kissed you. You beeline to your desk and quickly sat down.

Kyotani was on your bed, flipping through your sketchbook again. As soon as you entered though he quickly closed it and went to return it to your desk. He leaned against the edge of your desk as he looked down at you desperately finding something to work on.
"Something wrong... I heard your brother yelling..."

"Ah! Uh! Yeah... nothing wrong."
You quickly said, unable to look at him for very long. For some reason... you felt guilty. You literally made sure to clarify there was no commitment between you two and here you go, feeling guilty. Maybe it was cause it was Iwaizumi?

"You sure... you are acting... weird.."
Kyotani grabbed your chin and forced you to look up at him but you couldn't meet his eyes.

"Mhm... let's just work on the project."
You pulled away slightly but Kyotani didn't let you go that easily.

"You aren't telling the truth sweetheart... Did he say something to you."
Kyotani insisted and you couldn't help but let your eyes meet.

"It wasn't Oikawa... Iwaizumi kissed me and Oikawa got angry at him."
You quickly admitted to him.

"He did?"
Kyotani couldn't help but growl lightly.

"Yeah but don't worry about it. We are just friends with benefits."
You pulled your head violently away from Kyotanis grasp

"Sweetheart... I...."
Kyotani started before groaning and pushing away from your desk, going to your bed and opening his notebook.
"Let's get back to home work."

You quickly stood form your chair and started yelling at him.
"What! Did I say about flip flipping you idiot!"

Kyotani remained silent as he started research on one of the elements, trying his best to ignore you.

"I hate you! Stop beating around bushes and lying!"
You went over to him and quickly grabbed the notebook from him, making him instantly stand.

"Let's! Just do our project!"
Kyotani emphasized his words, obviously getting a bit frustrated.

"No! Not until you say what you were going to say!"
You insisted.

"I wasn't going to say anything!"
Kyotani finally started yelling with you.

"You clearly were! You idiot!"
You pressed your finger against his chest. Both of you were mere inches away from each others faces yelling.

"I want you all to myself and I want more the this arrangement!"
Kyotani finally blurted out and there was a moment of silence before he ripped his notebook from your hand.

You stared at him dumbstruck for a while before going back to your desk.
"I need a time to think Kyotani... can we just do the project for now..."
You asked, turning in your chair to your desk and starting to scribble notes down

"...yeah...we can.."
Kyotani nodded as he sat back down on your bed, writing note down as well.

The rest of the evening was fairly silent as you two worked together. Eventually the sun started to set however, meaning Kyotani had to go home. You had done most of your research, just needing a bit more research and needed to create a presentation for your info.

You walked Kyotani quietly down to the door, making sure to avoid Oikawa and your mother on the way. You held the door open for Kyotani but he stopped in the middle of the doorway.
"This is stupid but... promise to forget about... what I said. And tomorrow I walk you home and we finish the project."

You forced a smile as you looked up at Kyotani and nodded.
"Got it! We should be able to finish it too!"
You tired your best to sound eager when you spoke but your voice ultimately failed you.

Kyotani growled as he turned to leave
"Fake doesn't look good on you."
You stayed their for a while, watching him walk away before slamming the door and rushing to your room. How could he say that!?

The next morning started semi normal between you and your brother. You had breakfast together and left the house at the same time as usual. It was all fine... until Iwaizumi's house.

"Morning Iwaizumi!"
You stopped outside his house and greeted him like nothing happened but Oikawa continued walking like he didn't exist.
"Sorry... our mom talked to him but I think you should apologize..."
You sighed as you started walking with Iwaizumi.

"Yeah I'll do it once we get to school... I wanna talk to you actually! About last night..."
Iwaizumi started and you started to pick up pace. Shit. Shit. Shit. You hopped you could ignore this until another day.

Unfortunately you couldn't run, Iwaizumi was taller then you and keeping up with you was easy for him. You let out a small groan as you came to terms with the truth.
"It was a nice kiss... but you need to sort shit out with Oikawa first. I need to sort my shit out too."

Iwaizumi smiled a bit as he reached over an patted your head.
"I'll take that for now. I'm genuine about my feelings My dear... remember that.."
Iwaizumi split off from you at the gates of the school and you slowed down your pace.

"Genuine about my feelings..."
Those words echoed in your head for a while until you arrived at your class.

You looked around expecting Kyotani to be there but no sight. He must of went back to skipping classes, no matter, as long as he helped you with the project. You went to your normal desk and started to write some notes before class.

A few moment later Kyotani sat down next to you, causing you to jump.
"Sorry I slept in..."

You looked over at him and it was obvious by his half buttoned shirt and untied tie. You sighed as you sat your pen down on your paper and turned to him.
"I'm happy you could make it."

"I can't tell if you are being an ass or not so suck it either way."
Kyotani growled as struggled with his tie.

With a sigh you swatted his hands away and started to tie his tie for him. His hand hovered for a bit before dropping to his side.
"Thanks..."
He grumbled at you, looking away from you with a slight blush on his face.

"Your welcome..."
You straighten out his tie before turning back to your homework.
"How do you not know how to-"

"Shut it please."
Kyo groaned slightly, causing you to giggle. Your sweet and semi innocent giggle made Kyotani quickly look over at you.

You stared at him in confusion for a moment before rolling your eyes.
"Don't mention it and I wouldn't mention your inability to dress yourself."

Kyotani laughed slightly and nodded, turning to his bag and taking his things out.
