Started with a Kiss || Iwaizumi Hajime

02

        It's not like you're ashamed of what happened between you and Iwaizumi. It just makes things incredibly awkward now that you both realize that you have to face each other almost every day until the two of you graduate.

You would be able to ignore it if it weren't for Oikawa. He hasn't said anything about it beyond asking you to confirm that you were the girl Iwaizumi had pinned against a wall. Even Oikawa is too mature to tease the two of you like an elementary school kid. But actions speak louder than words. For the past week, every time you've been within five feet of Iwaizumi, that damn setter would make eye contact with you and either wiggle his eyebrows or smirk at you, but only for the briefest of moments. Really, he put on a straight face so quickly afterwards that you thought you were seeing things for the first few times. That stupid setter is having way too much fun with this.

You've come to expect it at this point. Iwaizumi doesn't even have to be next to you anymore. If you look up at Oikawa, there's that fraction of a second eyebrow-wiggle-smirk thing that is quickly beginning to prick at your last nerves.

As expected, this time is no exception. You make eye contact with Oikawa but, this time, he winks at you rather than anything else. At least he's changing it up a little.

When Oikawa finally takes a break and sits over on the bench, you follow him. He looks up at you, but you keep walking until you pass him. Thinking that you're not there for him, he turns his attention away from you until you drop your clipboard down on the bench next to him. "Keep doing that eyebrow thing and I'll shave one of them off while you sleep."

Oikawa lets out a noise that sounds vaguely like some kind of a bird's squawk, out of both surprise and possibly offense, and someone nearby snorts. Both of you look up to see Iwaizumi standing at the side of the bench.

"So you noticed too." It takes you way too much effort to not look at his arm when he reaches over to grab a water bottle. "I assume he's been doing the same to you. Honestly, Captain, I expected more from you, but here you are treating us like we're not mature enough to stand in the same room." You fold your arms in front of you and shake your head. "Tisk tisk."

Oikawa narrows his eyes at you, and you narrow yours at him in turn. "(Y/N)-Chan, are you sassing me?" "Whatever are you talking about, dear Captain?" You have to turn and walk away to keep from laughing at the look on his face.

Normally, it would be Oikawa you'd find practicing late, not Iwaizumi. You already begin your "Resting is just as important as practicing. If you hurt yourself I'm going to personally hand your ass to you" lecture before you even step fully into the gym. You quickly cut off when you see who it is.

"Oh, sorry. Usually it's Okawa in here." You internally curse at yourself. Next time, you'll make sure it's Okawa before you start lecturing.

Iwaizumi waves it off and snickers quietly. Whether at you for your lecture or himself for getting caught, you'll never know. "No, you're right. I probably should have gone home already." "Probably?" You question as he begins to pick up the balls that you assume he was serving.

Hesitantly, you set your stuff down and go over to help him. He looks at you with a question in his eyes. "I need to lock up after you anyway, so I might as well help clean up the mess you made. Unless you're going to keep practicing?" "Nah. I probably," He starts, hesitating. He takes a look at you and grins a little. "or definitely, should be going home." For a moment your brain fails and all you can think is 'Oh no he's hot.'

For the most part, the two of you clean in silence. The only words exchanged are when you ask where something goes and he answers. You begin to kick yourself for acting so awkward while he's clearly trying to leave what happened in the past and be mature. You try not to think of it as you shoo him out of the gym and lock the door behind the two of you, and then walk in silence as you leave campus.
