That's what I'm told
The car is barely moving
We're going way too slow

"I'm glad you guys came!" Hanamaki cheered as he saw Oikawa and Iwaizumi walk into the gym.
"Hey!" Oikawa greeted.
"Hi." Iwaizumi raised his hand and waved a little.
"This place has not changed at all." Oikawa chuckled.
"The only thing changed is your fame." Iwaizumi teased.
"Iwa-chan, you're so mean!" Oikawa furrowed his eyebrows and looked away.
"So, where's Mattsun?" Iwaizumi asked.
"He's talking to Yahaba." Hanamaki pointed at where Mattsun and Yahaba were talking.
"Woah, he's taller than him now." Iwaizumi tilted his head at the sight.
"Yeah, and Iwa-chan never grew." Oikawa teased and Iwaizumi immediately grabbed his head to mess up his hair.
"You guys have never changed either." Hanamaki chuckled.
Iwaizumi and Oikawa continued bickering as Hanamaki tried to stop them. He kinda did because he enjoys seeing Oikawa suffer from Iwaizumi.
"Such a meanie." Oikawa rolled his eyes.
Iwaizumi chuckled and looked at the other people who attended. There were a lot of familiar faces to him, but some were missing. Hanamaki said it was probably because they had other stuff to do. Iwaizumi went to the bar and got a drink.
"Scotch, please." Iwaizumi said.
"Okay, sir." The bartender replied.
"Iwaizumi-san?" A familiar voice called out. He quickly looked as to who it was that called him.
"Kyotani?" Iwaizumi was in shock.
"It is you! It's nice to see you again." He greeted.
"Are you really him?" Iwaizumi teased.
"Yes." Kyotani said and jokingly posed like a cool guy.
"Wow, I didn't recognized you. How are you?" Iwaizumi asked.
"I'm doing fine. Fortunately, my life is a bit together now." Kyotani chuckled.
"I'm proud of you." Iwaizumi replied in a serious tone.
"Thank you, Iwazumi-san." Kyotani said.
Both of them talked for almost an hour and a half when Kyotani excused himself. He had to go home because he still has work tomorrow. Iwaizumi was left alone at the bar. Oikawa was talking to the single girls that admired him in high school.
"That's rough. He's reliving his glory days." Iwaizumi looked back and was quite surprised to see a familiar face.
"I know. Also, nice roast." Iwaizumi chuckled.
"Thank you."
"You are?" Iwaizumi asked.
"Y/L/N." Y/L/N said with a small smile while sticking out a hand for him to shake.
Y/L/N was Iwaizumi's first fling back in high school. Yeah, Y/L/N wasn't just his batchmate.
"Hey! It's so nice to see you after all these years." Iwaizumi said and shook Y/L/N's hand.
They did not became official because Iwaizumi was scared of commitment. He wasn't confident about himself and thought he didn't deserve Y/L/N. Iwaizumi ended the fling in a most respectable way possible.
"Yes, quite surprised of myself, too." Y/L/N jokingly said.
"How are you these days?" Iwaizumi asked and kept eye contact with Y/L/N.
"I finally got to do what I'm passionate about and I'm very proud of it." Y/L/N confidently said while maintaining an eye contact with Iwaizumi.
"That's really good. I'm happy for you." Iwaizumi replied.
"What about you?" Y/L/N asked and took a sip from the glass.
"I've got a stable job and still roommates with Oikawa." He jokingly sighed while pointing back at Oikawa.
"It must've took a lot of patience." Y/L/N chuckled.
"Yes." Iwaizumi chuckled, as well.
"Listen, there's something I have to say." Y/L/N said.
"Yeah?" Iwaizumi asked.
"I still liked you after high school." Y/L/N blantly said that made Iwaizumi lightly choke on his drink.
"What?" Iwaizumi asked with big eyes and a slightly opened mouth.
"Yeah. I never told you because I know it wouldn't change anything. I just had to tell you to finally lift it off my chest." Y/L/N snickered.
"Oh, thank you for being honest." Iwaizumi's tone dropped.
"Well, I gotta go. It was nice seeing you here and Oikawa." Y/L/N smiled and stood up to walk away.
Iwaizumi stared at nothing again. Oikawa finally got to Iwaizumi and was confused as to what happened. He stood in front of him and sat on the opposite chair.
"Iwa-chan?" Oikawa asked.
"I'll take it slow." Iwaizumi blinked and looked back at Oikawa.
"What?" Oikawa asked.
"You have ketchup on your shirt." Iwaizumi pointed and laughed at him.
