Oikawa Tooru was born a vampire and Iwazumi Hajime a werewolf, yet a fierce and steadfast bond has been formed between these two who couldn't be more different. Growing up together throughout the years it has grown into something far stronger and mo...

~OIKAWA POV~
I sat in class my leg bouncing endlessly. I did not need any more drama right now, everyone had a limit. I was so nervous to play my junior Kageyama today, I wanted... no, I needed to crush him. As much as I was internally panicking over tonight's game it was obvious to me I was fixating so much to distract myself from this morning.
I didn't even know how to begin. Why had he kissed me? Has he had feelings for me this entire time? Was he just experimenting? No, no he couldn't have been. Iwazumi had never even dated anyone he wouldn't just kiss me. Was he gay? Was I gay? Shit. Shit. Shit. What had I gotten myself into?
I tried to shake it from my mind but I couldn't, now that I had become self-aware I was using the game to distract myself from Hajime I couldn't anymore. It gnawed at my mind, I was so confused that I couldn't think straight or contemplate it properly. I tried to tie my thoughts down, think about it logically but I loved him I realized. I had always known that I loved him that much was obvious but never had I known that I loved him like that. He was my best friend, of the same sex, I wasn't gay... I've dated girls. Right? How could I not know... I mean yeah I appreciated bodies of both genders but everyone does that, right? Right?
How did someone even know if they were gay? God, why did he have to do that, today of all days! I felt like I was losing my mind, I didn't even know what I wanted. I just wanted it to go back to the days where I didn't think about these things, or think about him thinking about these things. I wanted simplicity in a world where nothing was black and white, I knew I was asking for too much but I just... couldn't.
I groaned out loud and blushed deeply as people turned to look at me.
"Is there a problem Mr. Oikawa?" My teacher lowered her glasses giving me a condescending look.
"Actually may I use the bathroom Sensei?" I figured maybe a few minutes alone might help at least clear my mind.
"I guess Mr. Oikawa" She huffed pushing her glasses back up.
I got up and bowed quickly making my exit. As I exited the classroom I felt the suffocating pressure lift a little. Sometimes I just felt like everyone else's presence was crushing me, I almost even felt lighter being in the hall without a person in sight. Making my way to the bathroom I ran into Koba from the class below me.
"Oikawa! Where are you headed?" The younger male questioned, with his endlessly dark eyes he always gave off a somewhat nefarious vibe, it didn't help of course that he was a vampire.
"Bathroom" I answered curtly, I didn't particularly mind him but we weren't exactly friends.
"I'll come with you, I don't want to go back to class anyway" Koba smirked and turned on his heel, he had a certain grace and airy nature much like myself. Among the forceful and blunt nature's of werewolves, I seemed quite delicate and elegant but among my own kind, I was only one of many others.
"Sure" I offered so I didn't seem rude, although I wasn't really in the mood to be around anyone.
"So what's up with the whole Iwazumi thing?" Koba casually mentioned as we entered the bathroom.
"What?" I nearly choked.
"You know, how you always hang around the wolves" He drew out his words never taking his eyes off me. Sometimes I forgot what my own kind was like, this manipulative and deceptive nature. One I myself was guilty of, but it was easier to be the only one.
"Well we are childhood... friends" I almost stuttered over the words feeling a pang in my heart.
"Yeah I know, but everyone just kind of thought you'd grow out of that" He traced his fingers around the sink eventually looking up at me again.
"I don't know what you want me to say Koba, it's not like having an attitude like that helps our case" I turned the sink on to splash some water in my face like I had been intending to do in the first place. The cool water refreshed me.
"Oh no, you're one of those, who thinks werewolves and vampires are somehow going to coexist" Koba rolled his eyes running a slender hand through his ash blonde hair.
"I don't know what you mean by that, we do coexist" I turned the water off giving him a small glare.
"Heh, sure, I mean we share the same space but the only one of us who lives side by side with them is you" Koba titled his head. I couldn't tell what he was trying to get at, the vampire community had made it abundantly clear in the past how they felt about my life choices but I couldn't see why Koba felt the need to bring it up.
"Well maybe if you were a little more open minded you could play sports too" I tried not to fight Koba, I didn't want to defend Hajime right now, I was too mentally exhausted.
"Werewolves dominate most sports, why would I want to do that?" Koba shoved his hands into his pockets his overgrown hair falling to cover his eyes.
"I actually quite like their sense of community, it's a lot more comforting than whatever the hell we're doing now" I tried to keep the snark out of my tone. Koba scoffed quietly.
"Yeah and look what you had to go through to get that sense of community", He looked at my knee "How did you fix that up? The talk of the town was that it was you know, blown out, and you know we vampires really aren't as 'immortal' as everyone thinks".
"Luck of the draw I suppose" I got a towel wiping off my face and throwing it out I turned to leave.
"I suppose you've always been a little luckier than the rest of us huh?" I could hear the suspicion creeping into his voice, the last thing I needed was Koba finding out that I drink wolf blood.
"I guess it's really just perspective" I sneered and left, the bathroom break turned out to be quite the opposite of a break. As I turned the corner I came face to face with Hajime. Had he been outside the bathroom the whole time?
"Oikawa?" I heard his deep voice filled with what seemed like hurt. It didn't seem like he'd been eavesdropping, what an unfortunate time to run into him.
"Oh look who it is" Koba appeared from behind me.
"Koba" Iwazumi's eyes immediately hardened as all vulernability disappeared.
Author's Note
Heyyyyyy, it's up before Tuesday so I kept my promise! I don't have much else to say except that Koba will be a major player it what is to come, except maybe not for a little while longer. Next chapter is more angst and I SWEAR karasuno is coming up soon! But first I need to throw it more Iwaoi (it's an Iwaoi fanfic after all ;) Also sorry I republished this like 3 times I had a lot of typos when I was reading it back.
