Hajime Iwaizumi's POV

"Holy shit!"

Oikawa leaned in closer to the TV as he said that, his eyes glued to the movie we had been watching. The bright light shined on his face, reflecting an image off of his intrigued eyes. We sat on a couch in the living room at my house, blankets draped over our legs.

He watched the movie with the excitement of a child. His legs were loosely crossed on the sofa with his hands holding onto his feet. His round eyes were wide open as he stared intently at the TV, his mouth slightly ajar.

I yawned and pulled my eyes away from the mess that was Oikawa Tooru.

With a sharp tug on my hand, he gained my attention. "Iwa-chan, look!"

I looked at the screen, pretending that I knew everything that was going on. In reality, I hadn't been watching the movie at all. I was just there to give Oikawa company.

His attention was so focussed on the movie that he had forgotten about the fact that he was holding my hand. My breath was caught in my chest, but I sat there, completely still. The grip he had on my hand tightened when he got to an intense scene. My face started to heat up.

I wanted to wiggle my hand free but a part of me decided not to. I'd never admit it, but I liked the warmth of his hand on mine. It made me feel safe.

He quickly turned to look at me, unaware of how his hand was holding onto mine. "That was amazing, wasn't it, Iwa-chan? We're only half way into the movie! I'm sure the climax is so much better!"

I assumed he was talking about the intense scene that had just played, but I was more focussed on him.

"Uh, yeah it was." I could barely talk at this point. The only thing I could think about was his hand on mine and how it made my heart race.

"Hey, Iwa-chan. Are you okay? Your face seems a little red..." He used his other hand and placed the back of it on my forehead, yet still had trouble realizing what was going on.

I quickly slapped his hand away. I knew that I would panic even more because of how he touched me. "I'm fine, dumbass."

He pouted. "Rude. I just wanted to help..."

He looked down at the sofa and finally spotted it. "Ah!" He quickly lifted his hand away.

I sighed, trying to play it off as nothing. But I couldn't think straight and I wondered why. "Just continue watching the movie. It's confusing enough, I don't want you to miss anything."

"Oh, right." He scratched the back of his head, clearly flustered. Moving away from me, he continued watching the movie.

It was odd. The way he made me feel was odd, it was something I definitely wasn't used to. And as I pondered about why I felt that way, I was startled by a small plop on the sofa. Oikawa's head has fallen on the pillow, his legs curled up near mine. He was fast asleep.

I found myself wishing for him to fall asleep in my lap or on my shoulder, but then I paused. Wait, what? Why was I thinking about that...

I grabbed the remote from the table in front of me and turned the movie off. I got up and placed the blanket over him, gently tucking him in. His arm was dangling off of the edge of the couch, and so I took his hand in mine and placed it on his chest.

His fingers curled around my hand. Time stopped. I could feel my face heat up which made me glad that Oikawa wasn't awake to see my flustered. My next breath felt as though it was caught in my chest. I looked at him, my heart beating faster as I saw how peacefully he slept. His chest rose and fell with each breath he took.

My feet were cemented onto the ground. I didn't want to move. The warmth of his hands heated up mine. I just wanted to stand there for a bit, but I knew I couldn't.

Then, I thought of something that I never thought would come to mind. I thought of lightly placing my lips against his forehead. It shocked me completely when I caught myself thinking about that.

Do I...

Do I like him?

I sighed and decided it was a question I should answer later. I used my other hand to pull away from him. Once I did, I gently placed his hand on his chest once again. I placed my hand on his. And I smiled.

"Sleep well."

:O

Iwaizumi do be soft for Oikawa though.

This chapter isn't finished (at the moment that I am writing this, that is) and so the ending seems a little creepy? And I have no idea how to fix that. Hmmmmmm...

Well anyways, I hope you enjoyed it! It's a bit short, so sorry about that!

If you liked this part, feel free to vote! Thank you guys for the continuous support. I love you all!

With love,
