"Being an adult is a hard job." I sigh as I filled in different university applications.
You were supposed to take a gap year and be productive - finding a part time job, volunteering, and applying to university for your kinesiology undergrad knowing it was hella competitive to get into. But that "gap year" turned into two years of just bed rotting and doing absolutely nothing with your life other than going out occasionally to get food to satisfy your cravings. If you hadn't chosen a stem career, you don't want to think about how disappointed your parents would've been with your choices ON TOP of the delayed applications. They were very strict with the topic of "the future." Their relationship with your older sister was strained because they didn't approve of her "unstable path" whatsoever. But she had you and you had her and that's all you really needed to get by.

The rays of sun leaked through your open window, with the slightest breeze that was eversosweet on a day like today. You just wanted to go outside and take a long stroll while basking in the scent of the warm pavement and the honey crisp flowers. But alas you were cramped in the small apartment you shared with your sister, working.
"Y/n!! Wanna go out today and get some food?" Yuuzu leaned on the frame of my door.
"Yuu I'm sorry I can't, I gotta finish writing my applications and on top of that I have a couple of university entrance essays I have to write." my eyebrows furrowed. I think I was starting to get a migraine from the amount of screen time I was getting.
"You've been doing this all week, don't you think it's time for a mental break? I know you wannaaa~" she cooed, elongating that a at the end of her sentence. "PLUS, I'm meeting a couple of high school friends if you want to come, you know, mingle." she winked at me suggestively.
"No thanks." I rolled my eyes at her antics; this is not the first time she's tried to set me up with somebody. It's never gone well because they were either very disinterested or just plain boring...
"I'm not too keen on getting on a relationship while I'm trying to get my life together Yuuzu. Especially now!"
"Yeah yeah, fine you don't have to get with any of them but at least come with me? You deserve the break! Trust me we won't be there for very long we can leave on your accord."
I contemplated it. I have been pretty stressed out with all the sudden "get your life together" stress my parents put on me recently that I swore grey hairs and wrinkles started forming by the second.
"Okay fine let's go. But you're paying!"
"When do I not?" she chuckled.
"Big sister activities I guess, can't relate!"

We made our way to the very small but aesthetically pleasing restaurant that seemed to be hidden off from the main roads, almost as if someone were trying to gatekeep it from others. The bell jingled as we entered the pretty much empty restaurant, and all 4 sets of eyes that were occupying the store stared at us, two of them belonging to two gorgeous men that I assumed to be Yuuzu's friends.
"Hey Yuuzu." a deep and commanding voice came from one of her friends. He had this messy black hair that he pushed back as he introduced himself to me and these sharp and intimidating grey eyes that had a gleam to it that left me in a trance. I could swear it was love at first sight as I could barely even acknowledge the other figures in the room. Not only was his face absolutely stunning, but he also had the arms of a tank. I swear I would've begged him to crush me in his biceps if we hadn't just met 5 minutes ago. He introduced himself as Iwaizumi Hajime. Iwaizumi Hajime, I thought. I needed him, I needed him badly! I know I said I was going to focus on getting my life together but anyone who has ever seen him would surely understand what I mean when I say he could ruin mine. The other guy introduced himself as Oikawa. He was pretty for sure, chestnut-colored eyes that lured you in and a cunning smile, but he was just not Iwaizumi.
Yuuzu and the pair caught up on their university antics, telling each other all that's happened since they've last seen each other, I sort of just zoned out.
"...What about you?"
I snapped out of my trance when Yuu hit me trying to get my attention.
"Me?"
"Yeah, what's your name?" Iwaizumi said while eyeing me, taking in every detail of my face. I swear I got so nervous I almost blacked out but I had to play it cool, this is my first impression and I wasn't about to mess it up.
"OH MY GOSH THAT COMPLETELY SLIPPED MY MIND" Yuuzu facepalmed all distressed when she realized she had completely forgotten to introduce me to her two friends.
"I'm y/n l/n. Just refer to me as y/n."
"Pretty name."
"Thank you."
I smiled gently, but I swear I was creaming my pants because hello??? "Man, he wants me so bad like could he make it more obvious than that" I thought to myself.
As much as I wanted to take in Iwaizumi's features just a bit longer, I really had to finish those assignments, so I motioned to Yuuzu at the time, and she got the hint and said her goodbyes. You contemplated begging Yuuzu for Iwaizumi's number but you weren't that desperate were you?
