Chapter n. 10,
A C C E P T A N C E
A month and a half had passed, a long month full of small jobs for you that were difficult, but it was the recommendation that the psychologist gave you, you just had to try to start a conversation with someone new all month, it was not easy but you went from just nod or smile to say a complete sentence without feeling that you will be judged for your answer.
It had also been a month and a half since those guys decided to include you in their group, it seemed really strange to you, since normally nobody would approach you with the purpose of having a nice friendship, but apparently Oikawa is usually very impulsive sometimes. Speaking of them, you just heard the doorbell ring and unconsciously you curved your lips in a small smile, you still didn't get used to it completely but you started meeting every Saturday to spend the day in one of the houses, today it was time to be in yours.
"Oikawa, darling, I'm so glad to see you!"
You rolled your eyes noticing your mother's fanaticism towards the setter, you just waited on the stairs until you saw them, you went up while they followed you and apologized to Makki, Mattsun and Iwaizumi because your mother didn't like them very much. Everyone took a seat; Oikawa in your swivel chair, the best friend duo in regular chairs, and you and Iwaizumi in bed.
"Hey! Aren't stars missing?"
Oikawa pouted seeing how a part of your roof was empty, you unconsciously looked at Iwaizumi who smiled at you to cheer you up.
"Well, it's a step to overcome my fear."
You scratched your neck somewhat nervously, feeling how a hand was placed on your thigh and caressed it, successfully calming you down.
"Aww, but I liked them."
"Yeah, they gave a touch to the room."
You watched as Hanamaki nodded at the others' comments, regretting having removed that part of the stars, you were going to speak to apologize but Iwaizumi went ahead.
"That's fine, I still like it."
You smiled again, grateful, without feeling the threatening aura that Hajime gave to his companions for the previous comments.
"It's normal that you like it so much if you like the owner."
Oikawa muttered receiving a pillow from his friend to shut up, making you deny amused by their continuous fights. The other pair could only laugh at their vice captain's small blush and how lost you were in the conversation.
"Well, well, now let's get to what we came for." Hanamaki cleared his throat pulling a cardboard box from his back "Who can beat the King of Twister today?"
You'all began to play, usually getting tangled up with each other, luckily you always manage to free yourself since you were the last one to take poscition so you just fell on top of them. Without realizing it you were smiling, it wasn't the usual forced smile, this time it was sincere, true. Iwaizumi was able to contemplate that, feeling his heart pound against his chest at seeing how happy you were.
You had recently accepted his help, you had accepted your fears and embraced them in order to get rid of everything that tormented you. You still had a long way to go, but you could finally smile without drowning in your thoughts. It was thanks to Iwaizumi that you felt alive for once in your short life, it was thanks to him that you began to feel life differently, thanks to those nightmares you managed to meet the one who is now your current partner.
At first your mother didn't accept you going out with Hajime —she preferred Oikawa— but she had to put up with it, since it was your life, not hers. She still doesn't like him, but at least she doesn't show it when he comes home.
"Ace of spades!"
Matsukawa threw a card on the ground.
"Uno!"
You looked confused at Hanamaki who threw a card from another game.
"Pikachu, I choose you!"
You laughed a little when you saw Hajime's face, which denoted irritation, you caressed his palm without the others noticing, his expression calmed down letting his friends continue to clown. He glance at you fleetingly, pulling you closer against his chest in a hug from behind, since you were now sitting like 'Indians' on the bed. He planted a kiss on your cheek, causing both of your faces to feel hot from how unaccustomed you were when it came to displays of affection.
"Hey, don't eat next to poors"
Hanamaki pretended to cry hugging Mattsun and Oikawa nodded in agreement, making your faces even redder.
"It's a little late, I think it's better that we leave the couple alone."
The lazy blocker smiled, waving to get up, motioning for the other two to give you some time alone.
"True, true, Iwa-chan will you stay to sleep right?"
He raised and lowered his eyebrows a couple of times, causing the opponent to just want to punch him in the face, you didn't understand what was happening but you just kept stroking Iwaizumi's palm so that he didn't end up choking his friend. Only when everyone left did you dare to ask him, since you were a little embarrassed not to understand what they meant. He didn't want to tell you anything, claiming that it was just idiotic nonsense so you didn't think about it anymore.
"What do you want to see?"
You covered your body with a blanket, passing it to him so that he would also be protected from the cold of the night.
"I don't know, maybe Godzilla?"
You nodded, understanding his fanaticism for that movie, while he was completely attentive you began to decline, entering the world of your dreams, where surely a knight in shining armor was waiting for you, but you no longer needed him. Now you had the real one, you didn't need any knight anymore, not if you had an Iwaizumi Hajime by your side. A tiny smile crossed your features when you fell completely asleep, the boy watching this pulled you closer against him, also smiling.
"Have a good dream"
He stole a kiss from your lips, turning his attention back to the movie as he began to caress your lower back lovingly, providing a unique and special warmth only he could make you feel. For once in your life, you were grateful to have those nightmares, with which you were able to meet someone so important to you.
