✔ I Still Love You

08

Oikawa didn't hesitate in shoving random clothing in a backpack as soon as he received the letter. He wasted no time in rushing towards the airport. He asked no questions. Those three words were enough to lot him know that Iwaizumi was in trouble. He did not know what kind of trouble exactly but it must be horrible if Iwaizumi's mother had sent him a ticket to London, to where they were currently living.

Only one thought was in Oikawa's mind

"I'm finally getting to see Iwaizumi"

There were a lot of people in the airport seeing as Christmas was nearing already and people were going home to their families. Oikawa tried being patient but he was finding it extremely hard to do so. At long last his turn came and he was finally able to check in and board the plane. It didn't take long for the plane to take off and Oikawa couldn't resist his childish side from showing as he eagerly looked outside the window to see the clouds. It was his first time riding a plane and he was enjoying it.

It was already night when they had reached London. Oikawa rushed out of the plane after he had retrieved his bag. Thankfully he had no other luggage so he was able to get out immediately.

He looked for the sign that had his name on it and found it almost immediately. He saw the familiar face of Mrs. Iwaizumi who was waving at him. Oikawa waved back and went towards her. Once he reached her, he gave her a tight hug

"Its nice to see you again, Mrs. Iwaizumi" he said

"Its nice to see you too, Tooru"

She took his hand and escorted him to a cab. She got in after him and spoke the name of where they were going and Oikawa frowned as he heard the word "Hospital"

"Where's Iwa-chan?" Oikawa asked worriedly

Mrs. Iwaizumi closed her eyes and let out a deep sigh. The four words she spoke made his heart stop for a second as fear pierced his heart

"Lung cancer, stage four"

"I-is he doing well?" Oikawa asked, his voice shaking

She shook her head "The doctors said they had done all they can and that they're just hoping Hajime would do his part and hold on"

"He'll live, I know it" Oikawa insisted

The ride to the hospital was short and quiet. They rushed immediately to Iwaizumi's room

"I'll leave you two alone" Mrs. Iwaizumi said as she gave him a small smile and closed the door

Oikawa set his bag down as he collapsed on a chair beside Iwaizumi. He wasn't able to say a word for awhile as he stared at Iwaizumi's pale face

"Iwa-chan, I'm here" he said as he reached out for the boy's hand and froze when it was cold "Iwa-chan please wake up"

As if the boy heard him, Iwaizumi's eyes opened slowly. He turned his head towards the direction of Oikawa and Oikawa could see his eyes glistening

"Am I dead?" Iwaizumi asked quietly

Oikawa shook his head as a strangled sound escaped his lips

"Are you really here?" Iwaizumi asked as he reached out to touch Oikawa's face

"I'm here" Oikawa said as he pressed his face against the cold palm of Iwaizumi

"Come closer" Iwaizumi whispered "I need to tell you something"

Oikawa did what the boy had asked him to do and Iwaizumi whispered in his ear the words the brunet had been longing to hear

"I missed you" he said "I missed your voice, your laugh, your face. I missed hearing you call me Iwa-chan. I missed you annoying me" Oikawa heard Iwaizumi's voice breaking

"I love you Oikawa, I love you so much"

The tears fell from the brunet's eyes as he felt Iwaizumi hold his cheek and turn his head so he was facing the raven haired boy. Oikawa's eyes widened in surprise as he felt the boy's cold, dry lips on his. He didn't hesitate on kissing Iwaizumi back.

"What.The.Hell"

Oikawa's head turned towards the door and he saw the girl that Iwaizumi was with in those pictures

"Iwa-chan are you...gay?!" She said as she pointed her finger at him, disgust in her eyes

"So what if I am?" Iwaizumi said calmly as he looked at her in the eyes

"Well, who do you choose? Me or him?" She demanded

Iwaizumi let out a sigh "Im sorry but I still love him"

"I can't believe this. I'm calling this off" she said and slammed the door shut

"Why...why did you marry her?" Oikawa asked after a few moments of silence

"My mom forced me to since her family was the only one that can help me with my operation but I guess I can say kiss my chances of living goodbye"

"I-I have some money with me!" Oikawa stuttered as he fumbled for his bag "I-I can find a job and I'll work my ass off! I-I'll help you!" He said as his hands shook

Iwaizumi took the boy's shaking hands in his and said firmly "Oikawa, stop. I've already accepted this a long time ago. Its okay" he said and a smile appeared on his face "I'm just happy I got to see you again"

"Please stop talking as if you're gonna die. I forbid it" he said as he felt his tears pouring down

Iwaizumi reached up to wipe them away and a chuckle escaped his lips "Im not gonna die Shittykawa. Stop crying, you look ugly"

"Don't leave me please" Oikawa said

"I won't" Iwaizumi said as he leaned up to kiss Oikawa
