Conquering the Great King

>> I miss my boyfriend.

>> ... I understand that, but why are you telling me?

Oikawa frowned down at his phone.

>> Well I can't tell him, he'll feel bad! I have to complain to someone!

Kenma's response was quick as usual,

>> He would probably like to hear it, actually...

>> Nope! He worries too much, I can't have him thinking I'm getting flighty.

Oikawa sent the message, then paused while staring at his screen. He sent another one before Kenma could reply,

>> Although I do wish I could show him somehow...

>> The best thing you can do is show him you support him.

Oikawa blinked.

>> Kenma can be really wise sometimes.

>> Am I supposed to be saying thank you?

>> Say whatever you want, but it was a compliment. I'm off to be supportive now!

>> Good luck.

Oikawa stretched as he looked out the window of his office. It had been two weeks since Iwa-chan had started working on his new client. He was at the office unbelievably late every night, and he was there every day. Oikawa hadn't been able to see him much at all; they had tried to have a ten o'clock dinner one night after Iwa-chan got off "early", but Iwa-chan had fallen asleep the moment he sat down in the car. Oikawa had taken him home and Iwa-chan had apologized ferociously-- he bowed, even-- and Oikawa assured him that it was fine. Going in at five in the morning was taking its toll, as was expected.

Oikawa missed him, but he tried not to mention it too much. He texted him often, about everything and nothing, and gave Iwa-chan the opportunity for distraction if he wanted it. If he didn't, that was fine too.

Oikawa sighed as he watched the cars below him trickle down the street, headlights illuminating how barren the sidewalks were becoming.

Oikawa was at work because he had nothing better to do. He had trouble sleeping. He had trouble doing anything, really, because his normal desires for how to fill his free time were absent. He didn't want for anything, and he ended up at Kuroo and Kenma's a lot when he decided to stop using the office computers for Tetris.

It was getting excessively late. Oikawa was just thinking about heading home when his phone chirped at him. He looked down to see a text from Iwa-chan.

>> I'm thinking about lighting my desk on fire and coming to see you instead of finishing this work.

Oikawa smiled down at his phone,

>> Do you know when you're being incredibly sweet or does it just come second nature to you, like your insults?

>> I just say what's on my mind.

Oikawa ran his hand over his face. He was glad Iwa-chan wasn't here at this exact moment, because he was blushing.

>> As much as I want to see you, a fire probably isn't a good idea.

>> Yeah, wouldn't want to endanger the rest of the building. I might take a little bit of a break though. My head is killing me.

Oikawa bit at his bottom lip and thought long and hard. He clicked at Iwa-chan's name and brought his phone to his face. Just don't tell him you miss him.

Iwaizumi was kneading his temples when his phone rang. He blinked at the screen and smiled, picking it up.
