Chapter 20

It was finally 9 o'clock at night before you were finally dropped home by Atsumu. You stared quietly at the text from your brother in the afternoon, asking how you are with a bunch of spam photos from King. "Listen, Y/n-" Atsumu starts, but you shake your head. "I already know what you're about to say and I agree. It's best we go back to how we were." He nods at you before helping you out of the car.

"Thank you, Atsumu, I mean it," you finally say before you walk to your front door and unlock it. You enter the house to see the kitchen lights on. "Hello?" you call out, shutting the door behind you before heading to the lit-up room. "Is anyone-" You stop in your tracks to see Iwaizumi resting himself against the counter with a coffee mug in his hand.

"You're back."

"Well, I do live here."

"But you spent the night somewhere else."

"I wonder why."

"And that's the reason we both need to talk."

"Oh, now you want to talk? After I go spend a night at my ex's, you want to talk? I'm pretty sure your actions said enough for you, Iwaizumi."

"You fucked him?"

"And so?"

"Out of spite?"

"No, I did it because I wanted to," you say slowly walking towards him. "Because I missed being loved and wanted to be treated right. Because my partner decided it's okay to get drunk and kiss crazy girls. Because I wanted to feel APPRECIATED just for ONE night. Not out of spite but out of my own selfishness," you raise your voice and could feel your eyes start to well up. "You know well I don't do spite," you finish before turning to go up to your room.

You sit on your bed to calm yourself down and think of the whole situation one more time. Your phone buzzed a few minutes later and you pull it out to see a new message.

IWAIZUMI:
I'm coming upstairs now.
Lock your door if you don't want me to enter.

You wait patiently for him to gently walk in and rest against the doorframe with his hands crossed. "I didn't intend for anything to happen," he starts off but you cut him off with a scoff. "Is that really how you want to do things?" he gives out, and you raise an eyebrow at him. "You said the same the first time. So am I just supposed to start adoring you like a puppy again?" you reply back and he sighs.

"I can handle my drinks, I always have. I just don't drink often or to the extent of losing my head like this. And after the last two nights out, it's clear to me that I just can't trust myself with it anymore. It's ruining something too precious to me," he says. You stay silent before speaking up again.

"When I was with the Miya twin, I was at a party, where I saw a girl on his lap, kissing each other like I wasn't there," you start off. "He saw me, went after me, and I let him 'make it up to me.' The next morning I woke up on my own, while he woke up with another woman beside him. I'm tired of trusting, Iwa. I'm just tired." There was another pause before he spoke up.

"Would you like to take a break?"

"Funny how you think you're entitled to bring that up"

"What, no? I just want to respect you a little, that's it."

"So what, you can just go cheat some more?"

"So we can both work on being the best versions of ourselves for each other, Y/n. It's obvious you're still going through a lot of emotions from your past, and I don't want to put you more in a cautious state with the fact Hina and Kai are terrorizing you. I want you to have peace of mind, but you need to tell me how you want that."
