And everyone has said it
The whole town knew
It took them by surprise

"You told Y/L/N what?" Oikawa accidentally raised his voice in shock.
"I know, it's embarrassing." Iwaizumi said and stuffed his face onto a pillow.
"Okay, hold on. Let's back it up." Matsukawa said and sat beside Iwaizumi.
"What?" Iwaizumi replied in a muffled voice.
"After you guys talked, what did Y/L/N do?" Hanamaki asked.
"We were both in shock. Y/L/N quickly said good bye and walked away." Iwaizumi said in a hurtful tone.
"Awww, buddy." Hanamaki said and sat on Iwaizumi's left side to give him back rubs.
Oikawa was busy munching on honey almonds while looking suspiciously at Iwaizumi. Oikawa wondered why Iwaizumi would blurt out such a thing if he already "moved" on. Oikawa used a wet wipe to wipe his hands and put the box of almonds down. He sat in front of Iwaizumi and started to ask.
"Iwa-chan." Oikawa called out.
"What?" Iwaizumi replied still stuffing his face on the pillow.
"Have you moved on from Y/L/N?" Oikawa asked.
"Yes?" Iwaizumi replied.
"Was that an answer or a question?" Oikawa asked again.
"You decide." Iwaizumi answered.
"I cannot decide for you." Oikawa replied.
"I really don't know." Iwaizumi sat straight up and looked at Oikawa.
"Do you want to see Y/L/N again?" Oikawa asked.
"Yes." Iwaizumi immediately answered.
"Why?" Oikawa kept asking until Iwaizumi answers himself.
"I don't know. Maybe to have a chat and drink coffee." Iwaizumi was beating around the bush.
"Man, just say you still like Y/L/N." Matsukawa interrupted and Iwaizumi sighed.
"Iwa-chan, last question." Oikawa spoke.
"What?" Iwaizumi asked.
"If you still like Y/L/N, what made you decide to reach out now?" Oikawa asked.
The whole living room went silent and Iwaizumi looked right into Oikawa's eyes. It was a great question. Iwaizumi went silent and processed what Oikawa asked. He questioned himself, what made him wait this long if he still likes Y/L/N?
"I need some time to think. I'll go for a walk." Iwaizumi said and quickly took his things before heading out.
Iwaizumu took his coat and phone before leaving the apartment. His friends didn't try to stop him because they thought it would be best if he had an alone time. For now, they will do their stuff until Iwaizumi comes back and is ready to have this conversation again.
Why does it feel like I'm always running away? Iwaizumi thought. Have I always chickened out? Iwaizumi kept walking until he reached his favorite spot. It was a wooden bench under a tree that had an amazing view of the city lights. On the left side of the bench was a vending machine. Iwaizumi decided to get a drink and walked over to the bench to sit down.
"Supposedly, this was the place that I would have picked for Y/L/N." Iwaizumi took a sip.
Iwaizumi sighed and chuckled at his own thoughts.
"I would have told Y/L/N "I love you" if I wasn't a fucking chicken." Iwaizumi chuckled a bit louder, but it slowly faded.
