Never before had Iwaizumi hugged someone like that, but somehow, embracing Tooru like he did that day made him feel closer to that boy, a sense of protectiveness came over him for the other male. 

His thoughts were clouded with him despite having all sorts of papers and documents in front of him; he read the words, but they were nothing more than repeated letters.

Tooru, Tooru, Tooru, Tooru, Tooru....

He sighed and leaned back, oh gosh, how he wanted more, he wanted so much more. Mindlessly, his fingers ached for motion as he twirled his pen around his index and middle finger, then letting it stabilize back to his thumb - the action repeating over and over again.

But it wasn't like he could go banging on his door and demand for closure, for intimacy.

Unless...

Nah, that's absurd. They weren't even that much into their relationship-

Wait. He stilled his pen.

What exactly were they?

Were they dating? No... they haven't been on a date.

But Iwaizumi confessed, so.... Are they boyfriends?

The thought sent heat up to Iwaizumi's face, glad that he was alone in his office, he looked down and covered his face with the back of his hand, frowning.

No, I can't just decide on this alone. I need to talk to him...

Several minutes passed as Iwaizumi sat alone and motionless in his chair, a placid expression on his face.

Nothing moved.

His even breathing was all that there was.

"Fuck it!" He grabbed his phone and dialed Oikawa's number. He tried desperately to control his heartbeat and he even loosened his tie, clearing his throat before the call was picked up.

"Iwa-chan?" Oikawa's soft and wondering voice filtered through.

I love it when he calls me that, even if it's just a name...

"Hey, Oikawa, um...."

Speak, dumbass. Say words.

"Yeah?"

He opened his mouth but nothing came out, his heart was unbridled, all logic in his head was thrown away. Shit, why does he make me feel this way? Just. Why?

"Iwa-chan, is everything okay? Do you want me to come there?"

"I'll come."

He blushed, and then cleared his throat, "I'll be coming over to your place after work today. Is that all right?"

There was a brief moment of silence, "O-Oh, yeah... Yeah totally, I uh.... Mhmm, I'll make sure I don't faint this time-"

Iwaizumi chuckled under his breath, "All right, I'll see you then."

"O-Okay, bye." The other end sounded a bit breathless and Iwaizumi could almost see his little smile through his voice.

"Bye." Only after looking at the sleeping screen of his laptop did he realise just how much he was grinning. He looked away and shut it, his grin only growing.

What he was feeling wasn't just affection, there was something else inking up in that cloud, something darker. It was a desire, Iwaizumi wanted Tooru in a way he knew was not right, but he couldn't help himself.
