Haikyuu One Shots

Iwaoi: Drawing the Line

"Yeah, yeah whatever. It's the same for the both of us. 100% co-dependent," Iwaizumi said matter-of-factly. 

"Fair enough," Oikawa agreed, plopping down next to his friend. Neither of them had much to say after that, so they just sat in comfortable silence, with Oikawa's head on Iwaizumi's shoulder in a now somewhat clean room. 

"Hajime?"

"Tooru?"

"I think you might be the most important person in my life." Iwaizumi paused before responding, only to find Oikawa's hand and interlock his own fingers with those of the other boy. 

"I think you're the most important person in my life, too. I mean, who else would come clean my room?" At this, Oikawa sat up and look Iwaizumi in the eyes. 

"No, I'm serious, Hajime. You're the one person who I can't imagine ever losing," Oikawa said earnestly. His holding gaze made Iwaizumi's heart beat a little faster. 

"I'm serious, too. You do so much for me, and you're a far better friend than I have ever been and I honestly don't know what I would do without you or where I would be." Iwaizumi found himself itching to be connected to Oikawa again, to be touching him again. 

"Friends? Is that all you think we are?" Iwaizumi was taken aback by the question. It was an honest question, not an accusatory one and not a condescending one. Oikawa wanted to know what he thought, and honestly, Iwaizumi hadn't really thought about it all that much. Oikawa had always just been such a central part of his life. He had never had anything to compare to him, none of their other friends even came close to this kind of bond. 

And for the first time, Iwaizumi really thinks about the way he feels towards Oikawa. He thinks about the longing for some kind of physical connection and the sense of relief whenever Oikawa crosses a room to stand by his side. He thinks of the comfort he feels when Oikawa touches his arm and the feeling of complete and utter acceptance when he was around the other boy. 

"Well, not exactly," Iwaizumi started. "It's like... you're the one person I know I could never live without, but I don't really know what that means. I wouldn't be hesitant to say that you're more than a friend, but..." He trailed off. He didn't know how to explain his feelings. He had never been good at it, so it's no surprise that he couldn't get words that made sense out. 

"More than friends, huh?" Oikawa looks at him with a sideways smile. "I would agree with that statement." Iwaizumi scooted closer to Oikawa, taking his hand again. Their legs were tangled together haphazardly. Iwaizumi was close enough to feel the other boy's breath. He brought his eyes up to look into Oikawa's brown ones. 

"I don't really know where that draws the line..." His eyes finally settled on Oikawa's lips. He leaned in a little farther, Oikawa seemingly gravitating towards him as well. 

"Who's to say..." After just a moment of hesitation, Iwaizumi bridged the gap between them. When his lips finally connected with Oikawa's, well, it might be too much to say that all of his feelings finally made sense, but things definitely started to fall into place. It was a brief kiss, and they both pulled away to get a better look at each other. "Does it have to draw any lines?"

Iwaizumi's lips curved into a smile. This was what he had been waiting for for so long, this was when things finally began to fit together. 

"I suppose it doesn't," he said, leaning in again, their bodies fitting together like the gears of a well-oiled machine. This time, the kiss lasted much longer, giving time for Iwaizumi to appreciate the feeling of longing he had so consistently been experiencing being fulfilled.

hey guys! i had the first half of this written for like 2 weeks and then forgot about it and today was the first time i've been on wattpad since quarantine and said, oh maybe i should finish this. sorry i haven't been updating! things have been super weird here, as it's been for all of you, i'm sure. i'm in online school, which has taken up all my time and motivation. it's really hard staying at home all the time, i'm going a little stir-crazy, but it's fine. i'm just glad my parents aren't being to strict about all this, i'm still allowed to go outside for walks and hang out with a few of my friends (only in outdoor settings, but it's okay because it's pretty warm here)

school is cancelled for the rest of the year, so our spring musical was cancelled, but i'm not feeling too bad about it. i feel really bad for our seniors, but that doesn't really do anyone any good

i've spent a lot of this quarantine time re-reading the percy jackson series, and can i just say, when cupid bullied nico di angelo into admitting he was gay, that was super fucked up like lmao ok rick

so, i might be on here a lot more, or a lot less. we'll just have to see

thanks for reading! -fm
