"Carnival!~ Carnival!~ We're going to the Carnival!~" Oikawa sang whilst speeding through the park gates, a spring in his step.
"Did you really have to sing that the whole way?" Iwaizumi grumbled indignantly.
"I know you love it really Iwa-chan~" Oikawa grinned. At this moment it seemed as if nothing could ever bring Toru down.The warm autumn breeze was flowing through his chestnut hair, the smell of lavender and freshly cut grass in the distance was charming, but most importantly, his friend and colleague 'Iwa-chan' - who may be more than just a friend in his imagination- was by his side. This set a good mood for the rest of the evening.

The clouds gently shifted in the rose-coloured sky, the song of birds began to fading into the distance as the captivating creak of evening cicadas lulled the ears. Bright lights of the carnival games and rides flickered round the park with music to match. It was a delightful atmosphere for an outing, or what was wished to be a date.

The two walked closely towards the enduring stall's flickering lights, their hands practically touching.
Iwa couldn't help himself from wondering what would happen if he just inched his hand a millimetre closer. Why was wrapping his hands around Oikawa's such a consuming idea in this moment? His heart was throbbing faster every extra second his mind turned to the thought of his best friend, but Iwa's not gay, he must just want to have an even better friendship with him. Yeah! That must be it. This answer seemed to be final until.."WOAH" Toru gasped. His gentle, glowing eyes turned to connect with Iwaizumi's, he began to run forwards but everything time froze in this moment for Iwa. Toru's soft hands delicately grabbed his best friend's in an effort to pull him forward to whatever had grasped his attention so rapidly. This was already the peak of Iwaizumi's day, why was his heart about to burst out of his chest? Why was the world so suddenly bright? Why did this gesture grant so much happiness? Why was no one answering his questions?

"Iwa!Iwa!..Iwa?" Toru repeated. "IWAAAAAA CHAN" He groaned pushing his face so close that Iwaizumi's could feel his warm yet minty breath. Iwaizumi quickly snapped back into reality, after moments of questioning everything, he quickly pulled his face away from Toru's.
I-"Haha sorry man, I just zoned out for a sec." He reassured Toru.
O-"Look at this! I haven't seen one of these in years" Pointing at a love calculator arcade game.
I-"Toru.. these are for people that are dating."
Toru suddenly realising how weird his excitement must seem to his friend, laughed "I know that idiot, I just thought it would be funny," Now locking his eyes with Iwa's once again said, "We don't have to if you're that insecure" winking platonically.
"No, I accept this challenge I will participate in your stupid game", Iwaizumi said proudly.
The two laughed and pushed the button closest to them once inserting the money.
The lights began to rise slowly, passing "Blah", passing "Mild", passing "Harmless".
Toru looked to his side to see Iwaizumi being oddly concentrated on this 'stupid game'. But this just made Toru smile even more.
'DING.' The machine had reached the highest bulb.
"Flaming hot eh Iwa? Maybe we should just get married right now" Oikawa snickered pulling a ridiculous face.
Although a silly joke, Iwaizumi's heart was smiling and this couldn't help but spread to his face.
"What are you smiling for?" Oikawa chuckled after realising Iwaizumi had just been staring at him grinning for around 10 seconds.
"Nothing" Iwaizumi's deep voice uttered smoothly, not disconnecting their eye contact. It felt like the world was pushing them closer. Oikawa had never seen his Iwa-chan like this, that one word wasn't his easily irritated, defensive, proud and confident self, it made Oikawa's heart ache. Why was that one word so perfect?
I want to be yours Iwa-can, why can't you see that.
