ADULTING (Timeskip!Haikyuu x Male Reader)

"Finally showing me your Godzilla fanboy side, Iwaizumi?"
You asked as you walked to the theater with your buff friend.

He glanced at his Godzilla t-shirt before looking directly opposite of you,
"Well you already know, so there isn't a point in hiding it anymore,"

You shook your head disapprovingly,
"There wasn't a point in hiding it in the first place,"

His neck heated up as he tried to defend his decision making,
"I didn't want to come off as weird,"

"It's not weird at all! It's nice knowing you have something you really like, and it's kind of cute seeing you nerd out about Godzilla,"

"I didn't 'nerd out',"
He grumbled.

"Iwaizumi, you spent an hour catching me up on all the Godzilla movies and spent two hours last night texting me about every other piece of trivia about him,"

Okay, maybe he had to admit he might've needed out a little bit.

"Don't take it the wrong way though, I really thought everything you told me was interesting,"

The muscled man was glad that you took an interest into his special hobby, and was even happier that you seemed to like all his ramblings about his favorite creature. It's hard to find someone who will let you ramble about your special interests.

"Now let's pick up the pace a little, I like watching the ads that play before the movie,"
The two of you went from a slow walk to a power walk, getting to the movie theater.

"The special effects were so good! I really liked the part where..."
You trailed off as you looked at your friend, who seemed to be in a world of his own.

You figured that he was just processing the whole thing. After all, it was his favorite Kaiju, of course he'd need some time to form his own thoughts and opinions. So you just sat there silently while he was deep in thought.

Eventually he seemed to come to, his eyes fluttering while he looked around at the dark and empty showroom.

"Welcome back, Iwaizumi,"

"How long was I sitting there?"

You checked the time,
"Seven minutes,"

He sighed,
"Sorry, I got caught up in my thoughts,"

"I figured. Let's get out of here now, I don't want to get locked in here,"

The two of you walked out of the theater, squinting as you had to adjust to how bright it was. The two of you had planned earlier to eat lunch together after the movie, so you went to a generic fast food place.

"I think in terms of design, this Godzilla is my third favorite, but I also..."

Iwaizumi continued to ramble on about the movie and his thoughts, giving you a surprisingly deep analysis which you understood maybe half of. A lot of it was him mumbling to himself as the revelations hit him, but who were you to interrupt him?

Eventually he noticed the smile on your face, and cut himself off, quietly eating his food.

"Sorry,"

"Dude, I already told you I don't mind, I like hearing your thoughts,"

Iwaizumi flashed a brief smile before restarting his tangent, making sure to eat some of his food every now and then. You ended up learning a lot more about Godzilla than you planned to, and even more about your friend.

The stark difference between his intimidating physique and his monster nerdiness just made you like him even more. What was it called again? Gap-moe? Whatever it was, you were an avid fan.

Eventually you parted ways, with Iwaizumi promising to message you with the best Godzilla wiki articles he could find. Would you read any of them? Maybe one.

"Y'know I'm glad he's over a lot, but I mean he's a whole grown man, and I'm pretty sure he could stay with his family,"
You complained to a friend over the phone.

Of course they agreed with you, which was exactly why you specifically called them.

"And also it's so weird that he steals my-"
Your words stopped flowing as you heard a loud knock on the door.

"Hold on a sec, someone's here,"

You walked over to the door and looked through the peephole, spotting a tired looking man with luggage bags. He seemed shorter than you, and not too crazy, so you decided there wasn't any risk in seeing if he needed help.

Still, it was smart to be cautious.
"Hey I'm about to open my door to a stranger, if you don't hear from me, call the police,"

Carefully, you opened the door, and the man immediately collapsed into your arms as you did so.

"Oh my god [friend name] I think he died,"

"CHECK HIS PULSE!"
You heard your friend yell through the phone.

After taking their suggestion, you found that the man was perfectly fine, though judging by the passport he was clutching in his hands and his luggage, he was probably just sleeping, jet lagged.

"Asahi, your apartment kinda looks different..."
He mumbled out before fully conking out.

"Who?"
