Chapter 10

Beep. Beep. Beep. Your alarm goes off, signaling it's time for you to get ready for work. You had initially taken the week off because your brother was staying with you, but unfortunately, you were called in early. At least you can use those days off some other time. You get out of bed and stretch your arms and back from last night. Your phone rings, and you are quite confused about who is calling you at seven am.

You answer the phone and wait for whoever to speak. "Good morning, dearest. How are you doing?" Iwaizumi says. All the sleep leaves your body after hearing the pet name. You stay quiet for a second too long, and he laughs at your state. "Sorry, was that too much? I like the name better than something like 'baby' or something cheesy." You head into the bathroom and yawn. "It's okay, it just caught me off guard a little," you reply as you take off your clothes. "But I'm good, how about you?"

"I'm not even getting a name back?"

"You would have to run me over with a building to have me use a pet name."

"Then use my first name from now on."

"... No."

"Why not?"

"Shush."

You have the shower running while you were changing, so it is warm when you step in. You feel your whole body relax when the hot water hits your skin, from your shoulders down to your feet. "Wait, are you in the shower?" Iwaizumi asks. "Yeah, I am." You see your phone screen light up, and you squint to look at it.

"Iwaizumi is requesting a video call."

You laugh and shake your head. "Iwaizumi, back off. I'm not doing a video call, you pervy man," you scold. "It's not like it's something I haven't seen before, you know," he defends himself. "Even more reason why you shouldn't be so excited about something old," you joke. "It's not old, it's beautiful and a work of art," he says. You feel yourself blush a little but ignore him. "You know I have marks on my neck because of you?" you change the subject.

"... Show me right now."

You laugh again and grab your phone to show him. He accepts your call immediately and sees you holding the camera to show only your collarbones and upwards. You tilt your head up to show the big bruise laying on your neck, and he whistles. "That one is kind of bad, I won't even lie," he admits. You roll your eyes. "Oh really?" you reply. You look back at the camera to see that his video is off, so you turn off yours too.

"Turn on your camera again," he says.

"No, you turn on yours."

"I'll do it after you."

"Let's do it together, on 3, 2, 1..."

Iwaizumi turns his on and rolls his eyes when you don't. "Ah, ah, ah, don't turn it off yet. Both hands where I can see them, please." He shows his hands, and you turn your camera back on. "You do realize I would have said if I was doing something nasty; I'm not that bad, you know." He puts his hands behind his head, and his muscles slightly tense up. You immediately take a screenshot before he moves again and send it to him.

Then you stop to think. "What the fuck are you balancing your phone with?" you ask him. He slowly smiles, and your jaw drops. "You disgust me," you tell him. He laughs and turns the camera around to show his legs folded and where the phone was resting on his thigh. "Now, y/n, what exactly were you thinking of?" he teases. "Nothing, I just asked a question."

"Weird reaction for a simple question." You check the time and turn off your video again. "Shut up, I'm already getting distracted because of your nonsense. I'll talk to you later, okay?" You hang up and continue your shower, finish, get dried, and dressed for work, suddenly feeling the urge to call in sick. Rushing down the stairs, you grab your bag and keys and head out the door. "Shit, I'm running late," you mutter.
