Just Friends ( Iwaoi )

Chapter 18: Stay

When Oikawa came out he couldn't see Iwaizumi but smell smoke. Looking around the room he noticed how he still hadn't cleaned it up. It had been the same since he first saw it. As if the things were set like that.

"It just started snowing." Oikawa heard Iwaizumi from behind.

"Oh.." Oikawa turned to face him.

"You can stay," Iwaizumi told him. Walking around to the bed and sitting on the edge. "If you want." He said before bending down to get something from underneath the bed.

"If you-"

"Fuck!" Iwaizumi cursed pulling out his hand from underneath the bed holding broken glass.

"Iwachan your hand." Oikawa rushed to Iwaizumi.

"It's okay." Iwaizumi told Oikawa to throw the broken glass in the bin.

"Your hands bleeding," Oikawa told him before holding his hand.

"Ouch!" Iwaizumi exclaimed in pain.

"Oh shit! sorry." Oikawa let go of his hand then looked at his. "There's so much blood," Oikawa said looking at his hand.

"You really suck at this." Iwaizumi laughed walking over to his bedside table and grabbing the Bourbon bottle.

"Get that towel from there would'ya." Iwaizumi told Oikawa sitting on the bed.

Oikawa frantically grabbed the towel and handed it to Iwaizumi and saw how Iwaizumi poured some Bourbon on the towel and then dabbed his palm.

"Your room is a mess," Oikawa told Iwaizumi looking around. "Why don't you clean it?"

"I barely get time." Iwaizumi told Oikawa.

"Well, we can try cleaning it right now?" Oikawa offered Iwaizumi looking at him this time.

"Aren't you tired you were out all day with Isuzu." Iwaizumi raised a brow.

"Yeah, but I took a power nap." Oikawa smiled putting a stray strand of hair behind his ear. His fringe had grown a lot and he badly needed a trim.

"Unless you're sleepy?" Oikawa asked Iwaizumi.

"Nah I'm good." Iwaizumi told Oikawa getting up from the bed.

"Then let's get working," Oikawa said clapping his hands together.

"Shhh," Iwaizumi hissed "Isuzu'a asleep."

"Oh yes sorry." Oikawa apologized.

The next hour or so Oikawa and Iwaizumi worked on putting away things in their right places. Such as Iwaizumi clothes in the cabinet where they belong not on the floor or bed and some bottles and cigarettes lying around in the room.

Finally, they cleaned the room somewhat. And both laid on their backs on the bed parallel.

"Thanks." Iwaizumi told Oikawa folding his arms behind his head.

"No problem." Oikawa smiled.

Both of them lay quietly in bed before Oikawa spoke.

"What are we?"

Iwaizumi took a minute before answering.

"Friends."

"Come on Iwa-" Oikawa started but stopped mid-sentence when Iwaizumi sat up.

Iwaizumi grabbed the Bourbon bottle from the bedside table.

"Want some?" Iwaizumi offered Oikawa that made Oikawa make a face.

"I'm talking to you," Oikawa told Iwaizumi.

"So am I." Iwaizumi replied bluntly. "You want some or not?" He asked unscrewing the cap.

"No."

"Suit yourself." Iwaizumi old him before taking a gulp from the bottle directly.

"Oikawa what's wrong?" Iwaizumi asked after a few minutes of silence.

"What's wrong?" Oikawa said rather than ask. "What're we doing?"

"We just cleaned my room." Iwaizumi laughed trying to keep his voice low.

"Iwaizumi I'm serious." Oikawa never used Iwaizumi like that he always called him 'Iwachan' and that made Iwaizumi taken aback.

"I want to be with you." Oikawa finally spoke. Sitting up next to Iwaizumi not making any eye contact.

"I know it's too soon but-"

"Then why are you saying this." Iwaizumi told Oikawa taking a huge gulp from the bottle before keeping it back on the bedside table.

"Why? Because-" Oikawa stopped before continuing. "I love you."

"You love the idea of loving me." Iwaizumi spat. "We haven't known each other for the past 8 years how can you say you love me huh?" Iwaizumi asked Oikawa.

"Two weeks can't cover everything that happened in the past 8 years." Iwaizumi told Oikawa.

"I know but I want to learn all that happened and I want to-" Oikawa started but stopped.

"I want to be with you from now on every step of the way."

Iwaizumi didn't answer.

"Damn it!" Oikawa cursed.

"Look at me."

Iwaizumi turned to face him. With a face as hard as a rock showing absolutely no emotions. The face Iwaizumi uses to keep his emotions undercover.

"What makes you so sure I won't hurt you?" Iwaizumi asked him. "What makes you think I'm worth it?"Iwaizumi asked his voice breaking.

What makes you think I will be able to keep you happy?"

Oikawa didn't know what got over him to do what he did. He kissed Iwaizumi. With his hand cupping Iwaizumi's cheek. He gave Iwaizumi a sweet kiss. Oikawa closed his eyes and felt the kiss.

Pulling apart he searched Iwaizumi's eyes.

"You make me happy just being here." Oikawa smiled at him.
