Love, Toru - Iwaoi

four

Iwaizumi and Yuri sat on the living room couch, snuggling up while watching a movie. It was two days since Yuri and Oikawa had seen each other in the bedroom. The only interaction that they've had since then was speaking on the phone together the day before. Iwaizumi had forced Yuri apologize to Oikawa for what she had said to him. 

Although she did apologize, her explanation why she had even called him that in the first place didn't make any sense to Oikawa, nor Iwaizumi.

----

"I didn't know that it was offensive, I'm really sorry, Toru-chan. Please forgive me." 

Oikawa found that hard to believe, but he'd rather not cause any more problems. So he simple agreed to forgive Yuri and hung up the phone. 

Just because Oikawa didn't say anything about Yuri's apology, doesn't mean that Iwaizumi didn't. 

"You're 23 years old and you didn't know that- that word was a slur? How the hell is that even possible?!" Iwaizumi screamed as soon as she had ended the call with Oikawa. 

"Of course I knew!"

"Then why the fuck did you just lie to him about it?!"

Yuri scoffed. "You obviously can't care that much about it!  It's one word!"

Iwaizumi pinched the bridge of his nose. "It's not just a word."

"Technically, it is-" Yuri started, but Iwaizumi cut her off. 

"Do you know how hurtful it is to call someone that? How would you feel if someone was against you loving me just simply because I am me. How would you feel if someone called you a slur that was used against people that love someone of the same sex for centuries? How would you feel if-" Iwaizumi was about to go into detail about Oikawa's past with his mom, but he had decided not to say anything. "Oikawa doesn't even feel comfortable saying it because of how disgusting that word is!"

Yuri was quiet for a moment as she processed Iwaizumi's speech. "Why would you even support him liking men?"

"What, do you not?" Iwaizumi asked, predicting the outcome of the question.

"Of course not! He should be with a woman, not a man!" 

His prediction was correct. 

"He can't control who he loves! I bet if he could like a woman, he would, but he just can't!"

"What do you mean, 'he can't control who he loves'? He chose to be gay, so obviously-" 

"Did you choose to love me?" 

"Well, no, but-"

"See? You can't control your feelings. Why would he choose people hating him just for loving a man?" 

"I don't know, maybe because he wants attention!" 

"How does that even make sense? Oikawa already has attention! He's a model, for fucks sake! Yuri, Oikawa is famous! He is thousands of people's idol's! Don't you think that that's enough attention?"

"I still don't think that he should be with a man." 

Iwaizumi exhaled, rubbing his hands over his eyes in irritation. "It's not his fucking choice. I thought I had made that clear."

"I don't want him shoving his homosexuality into my face." 

"How is he shoving it into your face? You're the one who asked if he had a girlfriend! Oikawa is openly gay to everyone, so obviously he isn't going to lie about it to you!"

"Whatever. I'm done with this. I'm going to Kiyoko's. You're sleeping on the couch tonight," Yuri furiously mumbled before grabbing her purse off the coat hook and opening the front door. 

"Don't worry, I was planning on it-" Iwaizumi started before having the front door slammed in his face for the second time that week. "Why am I even in this relationship?" Walking over to the couch that he would be sleeping on later that night, he sat down and thought about the question he verbally asked himself. 

It wasn't long until he received an answer from his brain. "Oh. Right. Well..." Iwaizumi decided to forget about what happened moments earlier until later. So he grabbed the TV remote from the coffee table in front of him and skipped through the channels, looking for something to watch. 

---- 

As Iwaizumi and Yuri were laying on the couch, Iwaizumi felt his back pocket buzz. He got a notification from his phone. Sitting up a little bit to look at his phone, he saw that the notification was a text message from Oikawa. 

oikawatoru: wanna get lunch?

Iwaizumi got up from the couch and went to start putting his shoes on. "I'm getting lunch with Oikawa; I'll be back in at hour, maybe two at the latest."

"I don't want you hanging out with him anymore, Hajime-kun." 

Iwaizumi looked up from his feet. "What? Why?" 

"Because he's- gay," Yuri answered, trying not to gag at the word.

Iwaizumi sighed. "I don't care what you think; he's my friend, and I will hang out with him as I please." 

And with that, he finished putting on his shoes and walked out the front door to go have lunch with Oikawa.
