The Way He Looks at You

Iwaizumi's POV

As Oikawa and I arrived at the Cafe we noticed that Bokuto and his boyfriend were already waiting for us. As far as I had been told Boukto's boyfriend, Akaashi, was always punctual so this didn't surprise me much. We made our way to the table and sat down, smiling at everyone as we did so.

"Hey hey hey guys!" Bokuto nearly shouted in excitement.

"Hey Bokuto!" Oikawa replied, "Morning Akaashi!"

"Good morning Oikawa," Akaashi spoke softly, "Who's this?"

"Oh, this is Iwa-Chan!" he cooed, "He's been my best friend since middle school!"

"Is that your real name?..." Akaashi questioned, facing my direction.

"Its Iwaizumi, actually," I replied, shaking the coupled hands before sitting down.

"I'm Akaashi." Thow owl in glasses replied, turning to his boyfriend to ensure he introduced himself.

"And of course you already know me," Bokuto announced

"He does?" Akaashi questioned.

"Yes." I replied, "I'm the Athletic Trainor for Japan's national team."

"That's fun!" Akaashi said, "Must be nice being so close to your friend every day."

"It is," I admitted, "The teams full of great people too."

I looked across the table at Oikawa who had sat next to Bokuto. His medium brown hair was a little messier this morning, although I couldn't blame him. His whole world seemed to be in shambles yet he still put on a brave face for his friends. He was admirable. He was kind, considerate, brave, trustworthy, and beautiful inside and out. Sometimes I wonder if his arrogant nature back in high school was a front for his anxiety and depression. He had been hurting for years and I had never realized.

I pushed those thoughts away and just took in the stunning sight that was my best friend. Had I always seen him in this light or was this recent? Had he always been so breathtaking? I wondered if he would let me kiss the scars on his skin. To me, they made him all the more beautiful. I don't know what I'de ever do without him.

"You look at him the same way I look at Koutarou." Akaashi grabbed my attention with a whisper. I remembered Bokuto's last name from the attendance sheets from practice.

felt my cheeks flush red as I gently shook my head, "Oh no it's not like that at all!"

"I said that the first time too." Akaashi insisted, seeing right threw my lied, "If he feels the same you'll know."

As my luck would see it Hinata and his boyfriend, Kageyama, finally joined us, taking up the remaining seats between Oikawa and I, successfully changing the subject. We all conversed and ate, spending a wonderful time together. I made new friends which is always fun but I think I spent the most time paying attention to Oikawa. I paid attention to the way he spoke, the way he moved, the way his eyes didn't glisten for anyone but me. It was probably just because he knew me the longest and was most comfortable around me. Hearing Akaashi refer to Bokuto as "Koutarou" and Hinata refer to Kageyama as "Tobio" made me wonder if Oikawa would ever let me refer to him by his given name. What if one day he called me Hajime? What would I do? What would I say?

I hadn't even realized I was completely lost in thought.

"Iwaizumi Hajime!" Oikawa blurts out, trying everything to get my attention.

I was caught off guard, I didn't expect it to be so soon. I looked at him for a moment, blinking a couple of times, "Yes?"

"I tried to get your attention like ten times!" He insisted, exaggerating slightly.

"Oh my bad," I replied, "I was lost in thought. What did you need?"

"What was that dish your mom made for us all the time?" He asked, "The one that made my tongue burn in a good way!"

"Oh," I knew exactly what he was talking about the moment he said it, "Laal Maas. It has Mathania chilies in it."

"Yeah, that!!" He explained, going on a food tangent with Bokuto, "That stuff will set your whole mouth on fire but it's so delicious!!!"

"I remember you always begging my mom for a glass of milk," I teased, "She'd always make you finish half the bowl first."

"And one time you made me laugh and milk shot out my nose!" He chuckled

"Didn't you get a nose bleed from that?" I laughed, my cheeks beginning to hurt from smiling, completely forgetting this morning's events.

"Yeah!" his laugh was beautiful, although I know I could never tell him that, "And everything smelled like milk for three days!"

I smiled softly as our laughter died down, his eyes glistening more than ever. I scanned over his gentle features, everything glowed in the mid-morning sun. He was stunning, both inside and out. I had never felt this way about someone before. I didn't date anyone in high school, I've never even had my first kiss. Sure I thought plenty of girls were pretty or fun to be around but I had never felt a real attraction to them. For some reason, it had never occurred to me that I might like boys, not girls. I never even contemplated the idea of being in love with my best friend. Any time I spent the night at someone's house I never looked at their sister, but I always looked at the floor when they changed. Were that instincts? Did I know but just not realize that's what it was? Ugh, I had so many questions and not a single answer.

"Ready to go, Iwa-Chan?" Oikawa asked, once again breaking my train of thought.

"Oh yeah, lets head out!" I replied, a soft smile still on my face.

"Theres someone I want you to meet!" He announced, not realizing the others could still hear him.

"There is?..." I  asked, the nerves in my stomic begaining to churn. I didn't have a good feeling about this.

"I think you'll like her!" His eyes sparkled more then ever, his smile reaching from ear to ear. He was over joyed, about a girl.

I really didn't have a good feeling about this.
