Iwaizumi's POV
I couldn't believe how stupid my soulmate must be to have the revered 'words of recognition' be 'I just realized that 1/7 of my life has been a Wednesday!'I mean COME ON, really!? A seventh of my life has been a Wednesday, who came up with that one!?I usually ponder this thought a few times a day, right now, it happens to be in the locker room after volleyball practice.
"Iwa-chan!!" I hear Oikawa say as he runs up to me.
"Hurry up so we can go and study, remember?" He points out. That's right! Shit! I forgot we had a test tomorrow!
"Okay," I say while throwing a shirt over my head," I'll be out there in a minute!" I continue to get dressed and then pack up my bag and head outside the room. He is standing there while taking a selfie and probably posting it on instagram or snap chat, I don't know the difference, as if it matters.
"Hey, shittykawa, let's get going, we need to study!" I say as I slap his head.
"Rude, Iwa-chan!" He shouts but walks with me towards my house.
*Time Skip*
"Oi, come on, pay attention, trashykawa!" I say as I throw my pencil at his head. We've been studying for probably about an hour, but he is clearly not handling the boredom of chemistry very well. I see his doodles of small creatures that I believe to be aliens covering the margins of his notes. He continues to doodle as I read the paragraph aloud and realize that I'm really the only one paying attention, so I really don't have to read out loud. He places his pencil in his mouth as I reach for mine that landed at his feet. He looks deep in thought when he suddenly speaks.
"Iwa-chan," he says while looking me dead in the eyes,"I  just realized that a seventh of my life has been a Wednesday!" I drop my pencil and look him in the eyes.
"What did you say?!" I demand.
"I just realized that a seventh of my life had been a Wednesday!" He repeats slowly.
"Holy shit!" I whisper to myself.
"Yeah, I know Iwa-chan, it hit me like a truck as well, but you're not taking near as well as I did." He finishes with a smirk.
"No, you don't understand, we're soulmates!" I say while showing him the small words on my arm that were fading away as I finished my sentence.
His eyes open wide with surprise as he pushes his sleeve up his arm to show me the fading words: "No, you don't understand, we're soulmates!" Written on his arm. I gasp quietly and touch it to make sure it's real. As they fade, I look up at his face, which is now covered in a deep blush.
"Why now?" I quietly ask no one in particular. It doesn't make sense to happen now, we've known each other since we were in preschool, so why reveal the 'words of recognition' now?
"If it makes you feel better, I'm just as confused as you are." Oikawa says in a barely audible tone. I remember that he had come out as bisexual about a year or two ago, but I had never felt that way about anyone. I figured I was just a late bloomer, and that I'd feel it eventually, but I never got around to exploring the options or dating anyone. But now, I guess I know, I'm gay. That's sorta weird, I don't feel gay. But how do you feel gay?
"Tooru, did you know before this . . . Incident?" I ask.
"Uh-um, yeah" he says while his cheeks blush further into a scarlet color.
"I only knew about last year, but I didn't want you to feel uncomfortable or think that I was weird . . . " he trails off.
"Oikawa, you're not weird, you're just bi." I add softly. I carefully take my hands from his face and lift it to mine. I can't really believe I'm doing this, but somehow, it feels right. I gently press my lips to his and hold the small kiss for a few seconds. When I pull away, he leans forward and just hugs me. We stay locked together for quite sometime, amazingly enough, I enjoyed the embrace.
"Thank you, Iwa-chan." Oikawa says quietly.
"No problem . . . Soulmate." I say while pulling away. His face flushes while a smirk settles on mine.
"Look, soulmate, if you can study for another 30 minutes, we can finish that" I say while thinking of the kiss and feel my face get hot.
"Fine, but don't call me soulmate, it doesn't feel right." He adds while he adjusts his glasses and picks up his notebook.
"But it does, though? Right?" I ask
"Why are you flirting all of the sudden?" He inquires while narrowing his eyes.
"I don't know, just feel comfortable, after all, we have known each other for a long time." I say while reaching once more for my pencil. I look down at my arm and smile a little knowing that I've at last found my soulmate, even if they are a little bit of an idiot.

(Yay, Demisexual Iwa-chan!! I just saw this on Tumblr and decided to give it a go. The person who's idea it was is in the picture at the beginning.)
