Friends [Iwaoi Fanfiction]

Chapter 8

After watching the movies, Iwaizumi and Sumire walked to a park, they bought some drinks and snacks while walking there.

In the park

They found a nice bench and sat on it, Sumire bought a popsicle from the convenience store while Iwaizumi bought a carton of milk.
Sumire opened the wrapping of the popsicle and started eating it, she paused for a moment and look at Iwaizumi as he poked the straw inside the small hole with ease.

"Are we gonna sit here for the rest of the day?" asked Sumire, she licked her lips and continued eating her popsicle.

Iwaizumi on the other hand, was slurping the milk from his carton, he paused and think, "Probably- We have nothing to do anyway." he said and slurped more milk.

"How boring~" whined Sumire, she kicked her legs a little and stretched herself for a while while biting the popsicle.

"Let's sit on the swing," said Sumire, pointing at it. Iwaizumi nodded his head and both of them walked there slowly.

They sat on the swings in silence for a while, Iwaizumi finished his milk and threw it, insider, the nearest bin he could find and he played on the swing.

"Hajime, we should do this more often," said Sumire softly, Iwaizumi couldn't hear her so she was ignored, but she didn't mind. A few moments later, she too had finished her popsicle and she threw the wooden stick away.
They played on the swing in silence, both deep insider their own thoughts, soon, the sun finally set, revealing a beautiful sky painted with the colours orange and yellow, they stare at it for a while, and one of them finally spoke.
"Let's go home Sumire," said Iwaizumi, jumping off the swing. Sumire yawned and nodded, following Iwaizumi as they walk home slowly.

After walking Sumire back home, Iwaizumi quickly walked back home to chat with Oikawa about his day.

"How was your day Lazykawa?" asked Iwaizumi through the paper cup.
"I went to the volleyball court to practice!" said Oikawa enthusiastically, he jumped a little and giggled. Iwaizumi laughed at him for a while and the both of them talked together for a few hours, it felt amazing to Iwaizumi, as he felt like he could finally relaxed after an exhausting and awkward day with Sumire.

"So Iwa chan~ how was your day?" asked Oikawa with a smirk, he placed his face on his palms like he usually does and waited for Iwaizumi to respond to his question.
Iwaizumi immediately groaned a little and sighed heavily, he gulped, "It was the most awkward day ever! So Sumire and I were..."
Iwaizumi went on and on about his day, talking about how they walked in silence for the whole day, and Oikawa never interrupted him, he just listened and nodded, he never complained and listened patiently.

Finally, Iwaizumi sighed, putting down the paper cup and placed his head on his palms, covering his eyes and groaned.
Oikawa too, put down his paper cup and look at Iwaizumi, he pounded for a while and waited for Iwaizumi to speak.

"I-I'm sorry for the rants- It's just... it has been a really embarrassing day for me..." said Iwaizumi, face-palming himself, Oikawa giggled a little and smiled at his friend, "It's okay Iwa chan, you've always known that Sumi chan is quite shy!" he said cheerfully, trying to be positive for Iwaizumi.

Iwaizumi appreciated Oikawa for being supportive, so he gave him a smile, causing Oikawa to blush as he turned around and covered his mouth, trying to avoid eye contact.
"W-Well anyways! G-Good night Iwa!" said Oikawa nervously, waving his hand shyly. Iwaizumi quickly tossed the paper cup to him and closed the window, waving at his friend as well as he pulled the curtains.

The next few days, Iwaizumi spent most of his time with Oikawa, practising volleyball as he tried to get Sumire out of his mind.
But that aside, he realised that Oikawa had really gotten better, the way he set the balls are amazing, it was easy for Iwaizumi to catch up with his friend.

Iwaizumi too, had gotten better, before, he would have missed a few sets, but now, as he was jumping and aiming higher, he was able to hit the ball with ease.

So the both of them spent most of their summer together practising, never contacting Sumire, that is until Oikawa asked Iwaizumi about her.

"Iwa chan, why didn't you find Sumire in these few days- I mean for a month!" asked Oikawa, sitting on a bench after practising volleyball for the entire afternoon.

Iwaizumi drank the water from his bottle and wipe his mouth with his arm, sighing, "I'm scared that it will be too awkward."

Oikawa gasped, "Iwa chan? Scared?" he said, as he kicks his legs while sitting.

Iwaizumi glared at Oikawa and hit the back of his head, "Whatever- I wanna buy some snacks, come with me."

Oikawa pouted and followed his friend and they walked to the nearest convenience store to look for some snacks after the long, exhausting day.

In the convenience store, Oikawa came across a candy ring pop, he looked at it in awe, staring at it for a while, meanwhile, Iwaizumi was choosing a few packs of chips, he looked at Oikawa, who is still staring at the pack of candy ring pop and sighed.

"Do you want that?" Asked Iwaizumi, pointing at the candy, Oikawa's eyes gleamed immediately and nodded his head.

Iwaizumi shook his head and took it, he paid for a pack of chips along with Oikawa's candy ring pop.

They got out of the convenience store and Iwaizumi quickly handed Oikawa the candy.
"Iwa chan! Is it this a proposal?" Said Oikawa excitedly, opening the wrapping of the candy. Iwaizumi smacked Oikawa and walked away, not answering his question.

"Iwa chan! Help me wear it!" yelled Oikawa, running towards him to catch up with his friend.

"Shut up loserkawa!"
"Help me wear it!"
"Go away trashykawa!"
"Iwa chan!" yelled Oikawa, sucking the candy ring pop like a baby, making a puppy face as Iwaizumi turned around.

"Put it on my finger! Hehe!" He stuck out his tongue at Iwaizumi and took his hand out, signalling Iwaizumi to put the ring on his finger.

"Dumbass-" murmured Iwaizumi, as he grabbed Oikawa's candy ring pop and put it on his finger to make him shut up. "You happy now?" he said scornfully, giving Oikawa a distasteful look.

Oikawa giggled and nodded, sucking the candy again, "Yummy!" he jumped around, "and yes! Iwa chan! I accept your proposal!"

Iwaizumi blushed from embarrassment and walked faster to get away, and to avoid eye contact from other people, as he was trying to get away from Oikawa, a familiar figure walked passed by. She stopped and look at Iwaizumi, with surprise and confusion, she asked carefully.

"Hajime?"
