Till Death Do Us Part

7

Oikawa's chest pounded as he held the ring between his fingers. He fiddled with it restlessly, unsure of what to do with it. It was Saturday and Iwaizumi would be here in 10 minutes so they could go together to the arcade and hang out. Well that's what the text said.

'Hang out'? I wonder if Iwaizumi thinks of it differently.

I feel bad just us going. He could misread that I was picking up on his signals.

"-Ill make you fall in love with me."

Heat rushed to his face and he fell face down into his bed with a silent scream. He said those very words! Those damn words with such a serious face! He probably really meant it!

I'm playing with fire here,maybe I should just call him, tell him I'm sick, invite Mattsun and Makki next time so it isn't so awkward.

Yeah! I'll do just-

"Toru! Iwaizumi's here!"

Silence.

The brunette lifted his head.
...

He planted his face into the pillows and screamed again. Oikawa sat up when there was a knock at his door. Oh shit...
He glanced around his room quickly, double checking everything and making sure it looked presentable, including himself. Yes, just a grey material print tee and blue jeans.

"C-come in."
The door opened revealing an also casually dressed Iwaizumi.
"Yo- what are you doing?"
"What? Nothing?"

"... Pft haha! Why do you look like you've seen a ghost? Are you that scared of me?"

The churning of his anxiety ebbed and was soon replaced with embarrassment mixed with a light feeling. Was I worried over nothing?"Oh, haha no I was just er nervous."

"Oh good,well, are you ready for our date?"

"W-What?!"
Iwaizumi broke out in a short laugh.
"Kidding, kidding, I'll only do that when I see the signs."
"The signs?"
"I'll wait for you downstairs."

Is it just me...
Or does Iwaizumi seem really happy?

Iwaizumi was in fact extremely happy. He'd never felt so good. Though he knew that Oikawa was seeing this as a platonic hangout, he saw this as a chance.

He must be careful though, he doesn't want to let Oikawa slip away again. It's going to be just us, huh?

He crossed his legs in the dinning room chair and felt his lips twitch into a smile, cheeks feeling hot. I'm a fool. Footsteps made their way down the staircase causing Iwaizumi to look up.

Oikawa had added a black sweater to his outfit and when he saw Iwaizumi, he smiled lightly. The spiky haired brunette's heart jumped.

There's no helping me...

They'd taken the bus to the shopping street, jumping off onto the red bricks of the sidewalk.
"Lot of people.", Oikawa stepped to the many scattered groups of students wandering and adults doing their own shopping.

Iwaizumi couldn't help but notice the almost immediate attention Oikawa brought to himself, just by standing there. Girls glanced at him giggling. He wasn't dense enough to not notice. In fact, he acknowledged it by smiling their way, giving me them a wink just to see their reaction.

Iwaizumi couldn't help but feel... itchy. He clenched his teeth. It's not like we're together in that sort of way so why should I bother? He's not even interested in me like that...
