Butterflies

The next day we were in the living room explaining everything that has happened to Iwaizumi, Iwaizumi looked really serious, but I doubt that he understood all of the story.

"So let me get this straight, you and Makki ran away because Tooru's mother wants to kill him? And then you two bump into them and decided to bring them along with you?" Iwaizumi said pointing at Suga and the others, Makki and I just nod at his summary of the story.

"Wow this is alot to take in"
"Yea, I completely understand dude" Bokuto said patting Iwaizumi's shoulder.

"I didn't really think it was real about you running away but I guess I was wrong" Wait, Iwaizumi knew that I had ran away? How?
"Wait, how'd you know?" I said sounding confused.

"Everyone in towns talking about it, and I heard that the queen sent out people to look for you guys" Kageyama said worry portrayed in his voice, she already realized that we were gone? It's only been 4 days and the 3 week deadline of Makki killing me hasn't even ended yet.

"Did she say anything about why I ran away?"
"Well I heard that she said that you betrayed their kingdom by running away like a coward, to scared to face his duty of being a prince or something" Kageyama said blunty making me look at him dumbfounded , I can't believe she said that, not only does she want to kill me she's also ruining my reputation as the prince.

"Yea I heard about that, other people  were even making up theories about why you ran away, some said it was because the people in your castle treated you badly and that you had enough of it so you decided to run away, while others said you had a lover but the queen forbid you to ever seeing them so you decided to run away with that person" Daichi said looking at me to see if these theories were true which you all know aren't but the last one though, I feel like I would actually do it but that isn't the point right now.

"This place is far from the castle right?" I ask, making sure if this would be a safe place to stay still.

"Yea, it's actually far out the borderlines of your kingdom, but that doesn't mean they won't find you in a few weeks though" Iwaizumi said looking at me worriely, he's right I'm sure that woman would go to extreme measures just to find us, well thats what she did to get Dad, because Dad would never lower his standards all of a sudden.

"We'll keep our guards up and tell you any recent news about the queen" Kuroo said seriously and everyone noded in agreement.
"Ah, you guys don't have to do that, this is my problem that I have to deal with"
"You don't have to face this all on your own you know that Tooru" Makki said trying to convince me about letting them help.

"Ok fine, just be carefull in the process ok?" "Ok" They all said in unison.

After that discussion we all decided to continue on working for the rest of the day, I wasn't really paying much attention to whatever I was assigned to, I was getting nervous about whats to come, I'm not sure anymore if can go on, I don't really wanna bring everyone else down with me, what if that witch decides to kill them aswell for helping me, Ugh If that ever happen I would just blame myself everyday for it.

Iwaizumi seemed to notice I was on edge and decided to approach me.

"Hey, you good? I know theres alot going on right now, maybe we can go on a walk to ease you thoughts" Iwaizumi offers, I stared at him the smiled.

"That would be great" I replied, A little walk wouldn't hurt, In fact I needed it right now.
We told the others that we would be out for a bit, they said to not be out for to long, Iwaizumi and I both noded and started our way through the forest.

After awhile of walking with comfortable silence I decided to ask.

"Ahh, you do know your way around here right?" I asked not really familiar with the path, Iwaizumi looks at me and says.
"Yea I've been here a couple of times, I know this forest like the back of my hand" Iwaizumi said looking straight ahead.

"Oh, good I was worried that we might get lost later, I've been lost in the forest a couple of times before, probably why I get anxious when someone ask me to hang out in the forest" I said chukling a bit at the memories, Iwaizumi just stares at me, making it a bit awkward.

"Uhh, you good?" I ask, Iwaizumi looked like he was snapped out of his thoughts and smiles at me.

"Sorry, I just remembered that time when we first meet, you got lost at that time too right?" Iwaizumi said laughing softly at the memory.
"Oh yea, that was because of Makki, that idiot just left me there" I pouted.
"You know your pretty adorable sometimes" Iwaizumi said not realizing the words that went out his mouth, I just stopped in my tracks and stared at him, surprised.
Iwaizumi looks at me questioningly, before finally realizing what he said.

"U-uh I didn't mean, I-I just" Iwaizumi seemed pretty nervous, aww cute.

"It's fine Iwa-chan, I know you said that by accident" I said smilling at him, Iwaizumi looks at me, not saying anything which is making me uncomfortable.

"Uhh, is there something on my face?" I said touching my face, Iwaizumi quickly shook his head in a no, if it wasn't that then why are you just staring at me?

"Uhh, the name you called me"
"Oh that! Iwaizumi just seemed to long to pronounce so I decided on a nickname to call you, what? You don't like it?" Iwaizumi shocked his head in a no again and smiled at me.

"I think it's pretty cute just like you, I'm fine with you calling me that" Iwaizumi said with a newfound confidence.
With that I could feel my face turning to a shade of red, Iwaizumi seemed to notice this and just chuckled.

Ugh, why are you doing this to me Iwaaa, I could feel the butterflies in my stomach flutter, I thought. Trying to calm myself down.

"Are you okay now?" Iwa asked sounding a bit concerned, I just noded in response.
"I'm glad" Iwa smiles at me, making me blush and quickly turn the other way.

"W-we should head back now before we get the others to worry" I said trying to change the subject.
"Your right, follow me then" Iwaizumi said before walking back to the path that we came from.

I could feel my heart racing, I wish I could just ignore it but I guess you can't help it when you've already fallen for that person...

Author's note:
Hello! Reen here, this was shorter than the other chapters that I wrote  but I think it's still fine.
This was kinda a cute chapter with a little bit of bad news sprinkled on but that doesn't matter as I'm currently grieving right now to even make it long.

Anyways I hope you all enjoyed this chap and I'll see you again on my next upload bye!
