When The Timer Hits Zero. ~Iwaoi~

~Part Twenty Six~

Today is the day of my first ever date with Iwaizumi as a lover. It's exciting and nerve-racking. I have carefully picked my outfit yesterday, though it is not that different from what I normally wear. I also got up an hour earlier than normal, just to fluff up my hair.

It's almost stupid what I'm doing just for this date. Iwa has known me for such a long time; I don't think he would care much. And I won't be surprised if he shows up the same as always, honestly.

I head to school with my heart beating fast, yearning to see Iwa. I have cancelled practice for today, because both me and the vice-captain won't be there.

As soon as I enter the classroom, I spot my lover, indeed not looking different from normal, which disappoints me just a little bit. I would've loved to see him as flustered as I feel. He's talking with Makki and Mattsun, who I haven't told about us and our date yet. Would it be fun to surprise them?

I walk up to them. 'Iwa-channnnn,' I cry out, as always, 'I missed you.' I throw my arms around him from behind. This isn't so abnormal, it's pretty much a daily thing, even.

The thing that stands out, is how Iwaizumi stays calm. Normally, he would smack me, push me away, yell at me, or at the very least sigh. 'Good morning,' he answers, not moving to get me off at all.

Makki and Mattsun look at us, a bit confused, but not surprised enough to my liking.

'Iwa-chan, didn't you miss me at all?' I pout.

With a sigh, he faces me. 'Sure, idiot,' he pokes me on the forehead.

That's when Makki and Mattsun start to raise their eyebrows. But I'm not done yet. Even though it's not the first time, I'm still incredibly nervous.

I press a soft, quick kiss on his lips, pulling away with a grin. The sounds of Makki and Mattsun gasping satisfy me.

Iwa, however, looks less happy, and also way more shy. Visibly blushing, he now pushes me off. 'Trashykawa!' he yells.

'Ehhh, but Iwa-chan, we're dating now, aren't we?' I say as innocently as I can, though none of the three buy it.

'Care to explain?' Makki asks.

'I asked him out yesterday,' I answer, 'and of course Iwa-chan couldn't resist my charms.'

The other couple laughs as Iwaizumi tries to break my face, but luckily, the bell saves me.  I quickly rush to my table, escaping Iwaizumi's grasp, and start the day in a happy mood.

Time goes slow, as if the teacher has manipulated it just to torture us. It feels as if I have all the time in the world to listen, yet I still don't know what the teacher is trying to say.

After years and years of boring lessons, the break finally starts. Immediately, I grab Iwa's hand. 'Let's visit Yamachin!'

I haven't seen Yamaguchi in ages. I never really talked to him about what happened either, so I'm really excited to see him again.

I hurry on ahead, leaving Iwa behind, and enter the classroom. I quickly spot my friend. 'Yamachin!' Then, I see that Tsukishima is there as well, his oversized hand on Yamaguchi's small head, in the same way Iwa does when he crushes my skull. 'Oh, Tsukishima, too! Hey, don't kill him!'

Yamaguchi turns around, and stands up as soon as he sees me. 'Oikawa? I haven't talked to you in forever!' The pure boy's face lights up.

Suddenly, Tsukishima sticks out his hand. 'Hey,' he says. Confused, I look at it, until I see another familiar hand shake it. I turn around to find Iwaizumi behind me. 'Ehh, Iwa-chan, you know Tsukishima?'
