Till Death Do Us Part

19

The air stung his throat.
And the tears stiffened against his cheeks.
It had barely been 3 minutes after his love hung up, the one who'd held him together during that period of time. He regretted agreeing to go to the hospital alone. He didn't regret lying to him just this once. Just that once.

The house felt cold. He wanted to hurry to school to see Oikawa as quickly as possible. Winter was only getting closer but he didn't let it affect him. His footsteps echoed quietly in the hall, probably the lack of life in it that made it sound lonely.
He wanted to see him already.

He got outside quickly, looking all around as if expecting him to show up.
Don't be stupid, it's way too early for anyone to be going to school.
Damn right. School started at 8:00 am sharp and it was 6:40. Iwaizumi slowly pulled his phone out.
Should I wake him up?
His hold around his phone tightened.
"What am I thinking about? Of course not. I can't bother him for my own needs."

The brown haired man began walking, his mind feeling blank for a while until his pace slowed.
What if he is my need...
He frowned at the thought.
"God, I'm so fucking cheesy.", he muttered.

"Wooohhh, do my eyes deceive me or is that Iwaizumi?"
He turned around to see a pink haired boy approaching him. He recognized him even in the morning light and smiled with a relief.

"Hanamaki? I never knew you actually woke up early. Or at all."
"Hey, what the fuck? I can't even argue against the truth."
Iwaizumi chuckled dryly.
"Anyways, I should be asking why YOU'RE up this early.", Hanamaki crossed his arms as they walked in the cool morning air.

Iwaizumi hummed, thinking how he should answer. Then again, why should he hide anything from his friend?
"I couldn't sleep."
"Bad dream?"
He simply laughed dryly.
"In a sense."

"I guess you wanna be warmed up in this cold ass winter.", the pink haired boy shivered, rubbing his arms.
"You're wearing your summer uniform?"
"A few buttons popped off the winter one.", an innocent sentence holding a some tone of a 'You catch my drift?'.
"I don't want to know or imagine it if you're saying it like that.", Iwaizumi said, turning away.
"Hoh, it depends on what it is you're imagining."
Iwaizumi peered at him with a subtly distressed look that his suspicions maybe correct.
"Dude... seriously?"
Makki waved it off with a grin.

"I'm guessing you two haven't even had time to think about 'it' ever since SHE came back. Real nerve."

"Hey now, it's not like she's tried anything at all. I'm also waiting for the right time we can take our relationship to the next level since we've only been together for a few months and this is both our first time with guys."
"Right right, do your thing, you two have a very special situation anyways."
The green eyed man scoffed.
"To you, in comparison to your lust based relationship. You don't need to toot your own horn 24/7."

"It's a miracle we aren't sick of each other yet."
"Maybe because you two actually love each other now."
Brown eyes flusteredly set onto the other unsure of how to respond. Hanamakki stared and turned away ears red.
"Gross, shut the fuck up won't you?", he said with a small smile.
"You say that but you're always all over eachother, NOW you want to act sh-"
"Aaahhhhhhh!!! Weren't we talking about your relationship? Jeez."

Hanamaki emerged into the library, Iwaizumi following and glancing toward a table to sit down.
"Imma just help the librarian with a few things, you can hang out here, I dont think I'll take too long."
"Alright."

He tapped around on an idle game till a message banner appeared on the top of his screen. He almost swiped until he realized who it was.

Toru:
I'm up, you awake? want me to pick you up?
Opened 6:58 am
