"what?" makki frowned as soon as he met oikawa's gaze. oikawa shook his head as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"at least, try to say something nice. you just hurt her feelings, you know?" oikawa rolled his eyes, he fixed his glasses as he faced the monitor of his computer.

it is monday today and oikawa couldn't belive that makki just literally made someone hate mondays even more. and no, it's not oikawa.

he hates mondays.

and if monday happens to be a person, even if monday is a beautiful and dazzling human being, oikawa won't hesitate killing monday.

well, oikawa happened to overhear makki and one of his office mate's conversation. well, he wasn't eavesdropping or maybe he was.

oikawa's office mate, who happened to sit beside him, was talking to makki earlier. and his dumbass friend went overboard with his insults.

although, oikawa is quite sure that makki just gave her an honest answer, he wished he could have filtered his choice of words. "bitch, you know what they say," makki shrugs his shoulders.

"when people ask some stupid questions, it is right and just to give them honest answers."

"honest answers, my ass." oikawa scoffed and took a glimpse at their office mate who's chattering with someone and oikawa felt relieved as she saw her plastered a smile.

"she asked for it, she wanted honest answers and i just obliged. anyway, what's with you being nice today?" makki blinked a few times, he placed his hands at oikawa's forehead.

the lad clicked his tongue before he slapped makki's hands away. "you don't have a fever. where's that bitchy oikawa, who are you?" oikawa creased his forehead, he started sending daggers at makki, who's really enjoying teasing and provoking oikawa at the moment.

but that only lasted for a minute or two before he remembered something. "hey, you've been avoiding iwaizumi for a month already. after the contract ended you stopped talking to him and you started avoiding him." makki remarked, he even clapped his hands in front of oikawa's face.

"ha, what are you talking about? i'm not avoiding him. besides," oikawa avoided makki's gaze. he let his chin rests on his hand as he heaves a deep sigh.

truth to be told, he wasn't avoiding iwaizumi. it's just that, he doesn't have any reason to approach iwaizumi at all. the only thing that can give him access to enter and exit iwaizumi's office are those documents, but for a month, iwaizumi hasn't requested anything yet.

given that fact, oikawa totally gave up the idea of entering iwaizumi's office again. although he often sees him inside the building, he doesn't have the courage to talk to him. how can he talk to him, if iwaizumi's always surrounded by girls? he hated it, how he hated the sight that he gets to see for free, almost everyday in oikawa's office life.

"i don't have reasons to approach him at all."

makki saw how oikawa's mood became a bit gloomy, and makki was pretty amused and at the same time guilty. and all he had to do was to say iwaizumi, out loud.

makki clicked his tongue before he smacked oikawa's head, way harder than the usual. oikawa grumpily eyed makki, and instead of being afraid, makki smacked oikawa's head once again. "are you stupid?" makki asked oikawa.

"oh wait, you're always stupid. like really stupid." makki crossed his arms over his chest as he grabbed the chair that is not occupied by anyone. he heaves a deep sigh, as he stares at oikawa.

"now, what do you want?" oikawa asked makki, but the lad just sat beside him, stuck staring at him. and oikawa felt scared, because he's aware that hanamaki takahiro can definitely read oikawa like an open book.

he dissipated the lump in his throat, as he repeatedly asked makki what's up. "aren't you going to ask me what's down?" oikawa takes a deep breath, he thought makki's gonna spill something that can make his thoughts unsettled.

"no, what's that supposed to mean, anyway?" oikawa scoffed, "well, i got tired listening to you saying, what's up, so yeah." makki's gaze never shifted away from oikawa, and judging by the way he looks, there's something that makki might just tell him and he should brace himself.

"say oikawa," oikawa turned his head towards the other direction, how he hoped he could escape this kind of situation.

"you're in love with iwaizumi, aren't you?"

oikawa might have short-circuited at the moment, he isn't responding.

makki blinked a few times as he had a good look on oikawa's face. a bright shade of pink suddenly appears in oikawa's cheeks. makki nodded his head, as he fully understood and basically got the gist of everything without oikawa telling him anything.

a month ago, the four of them went to an amusement park. he felt sorry for not telling oikawa that he and mattsun had followed both of them for the whole time.

both of them saw everything that had happened with their own two eyes. except for what had happened inside the ferris wheel, though he was pretty sure something did happen.

because something changed.

makki finds it possible for oikawa to develop some feelings for iwaizumi. besides, for a month, iwaizumi was all over oikawa's system making him yearn for more, making his senses crave for iwaizumi even more.

makki surely doesn't need to hear the answer to his question, he already knows.

oikawa clasped his hands tightly as he nervously stared at the monitor of the computer in front of him. he doesn't know the reason but he somehow felt cornered and that doesn't seem fair to him.

am i in love? he thought to himself, but he quickly shrugged it off by letting out a laugh. making makki startled, he even moved a bit to keep his distance from oikawa, who looks really insane at the moment.

he keeps on questioning himself if he's in love with iwaizumi or not. and whenever the question pops inside his head, he couldn't help but let out a laugh.

falling in love is something that shouldn't be done so easily and yet– "maybe i am!"

oikawa clenches his fist as he slams it on his desk, not minding the stares that his office mates are giving him.

"we did things that only couples should do, makki! what would you expect?!"

oikawa covered his face as soon as he realized what did he just say out loud. he bites his tongue, as he slams his head on his desk.

oikawa gave makki, five minutes before he heard makki screeching, which made them earned another scolding from their superiors.

and truth to be told, makki doesn't care. he just wanted to drag oikawa out of the office and drag him all the way to where iwaizumi is at the moment.

"so, what are you going to do?" makki asked oikawa about his feelings for iwaizumi. the lad shrugged his shoulders as he slouched, "what do you mean?" oikawa scoffed.

"of course, i won't do anything. this," oikawa bites his lower lip as he lowers his gaze on his hands that were clasped tightly.

"will surely vanish."

and how he hoped it will vanish. how he hoped he could save himself from falling.

falling in love is something that shouldn't be done so easily and yet, iwaizumi effortlessly pushed oikawa at the edge of the cliff making him fall.

he's still falling, without knowing how deeper it will get.
