"Oh, Hajime! This is beautiful!" Oikawa exclaimed as he stepped out onto their balcony. The porch umbrella was open and lined with fairy lights. Candles surrounded the poll in little mason jars. Two places were set next to each other, looking out at their yard that was filled with trees with lit up birdhouses hanging from the branches. "I can't believe you did all this!"
"Well, our four year anniversary should be something to celebrate," Iwaizumi responded, a wide smile on his face from seeing Oikawa so happy.
"Oh, and I thought that the little surprise at work would be the last of it." Oikawa leaned over and kissed Iwaizumi on the cheek.
"Oh, is that all I get?" Iwaizumi pouted.
"You know that isn't all you'll get," Oikawa said with a giggle.
"Okay, okay, go get settled. I'm going to go get the food," Iwaizumi said, removing his arms from around Oikawa's waist.
"You cooked, too! Is that why you made me walk around the house when I got back from work?"
"Well, I couldn't have you smelling the food!" Iwaizumi called back as he walked toward the door. "Now, go on!" He shooed Oikawa toward the table with a wave of his hand.
"You made me walk up all those stairs so I wouldn't smell the food?" Iwaizumi heard Oikawa yell incredulously as he walked through the door. Iwaizumi chuckled to himself once he was inside. He was so happy to see Oikawa in such a good mood. Lately, Oikawa had been kind of stressed at work, so Iwaizumi was extremely thankful when Oikawa came home in a relatively good mood, unlike how he had been coming home recently. Hopefully tonight will lift his spirits for more than one day.
Iwaizumi walked out of the house holding two plates of food. He set them down on the table and took his place next to Oikawa.
"It looks wonderful, Hajime. I still can't believe you did all this for me. It's so much more than I did for you!"
"It's okay. Remember, last year you totally outdid me, so this year I had to make it up to you," Iwaizumi said, smiling.
"Yeah, but this is... this is so... so perfect," Oikawa said in awe, looking out at the lit up trees.
"Well, I can have nothing less for my perfect boyfriend." Oikawa looked over at Iwaizumi, love filling his gaze. Oikawa leaned in and kissed Iwaizumi slowly, tenderly.
"I love you," Oikawa said against Iwaizumi's mouth.
"Oh, so did I need to tell you that you're perfect for you to say that?" Iwaizumi asked slyly, leaning back in his chair.
"You're impossible!" Oikawa said, throwing his hands up in the air.
"I love you, too," Iwaizumi said in response.
"Hell yeah you do," Oikawa muttered, taking a bite of bread.
"Oh, do you have something to say?"
"Just that I'm totally going to outdo you next year," he said, holding his head high.
"Sure," Iwaizumi said indifferently, sipping his tea.
"What? Do you have something else planned?" Oikawa asked indignantly.
"I guess you'll just have to find out."
"I swear, if I find a new car in the garage tonight..."
"Oh don't worry, honey. I'm not going to spend that much money on you," Iwaizumi said, smiling.
"I hate you!"
"Nah, you love me."
"No, I don't."
Iwaizumi kissed Oikawa on the cheek.
"What about now?"
"Nope," Oikawa said, holding his ground. Iwaizumi kissed him right below his ear.
"Now?" Oikawa just bit his lip. Iwaizumi moved down to his neck and kissed his boyfriend again.
"Now?" he whispered huskily against Oikawa's skin. Iwaizumi kept kissing Oikawa's neck, and once he reached his collarbone, Iwaizumi bit down and sucked harshly. A small moan escaped Oikawa's mouth. He could feel Iwaizumi's breath hot against his skin.
"Do you love me now?" Iwaizumi said, looking up at Oikawa hungrily.
"You bastard," Oikawa said as he pulls his boyfriend toward him and kissed him full on the lips.
"Okay, come on. We have to eat," Iwaizumi said pulling away after a few moments.
"I guess you went to all this trouble to fix this food, we better eat it," Oikawa agreed.
"I guess I should've just brought you to straight bed once you got home instead of doing all this," Iwaizumi gestured to the lights.
"I guess you should've," Oikawa laughed.
"I'm afraid that will just have to wait," Iwaizumi said, shaking his head in mock regret.
After they finished the meal, Iwaizumi stood up and announced that he made dessert as well and that he was going inside to bring it out.
"Oh, I thought that it was just me," Oikawa said.
"What?"
"Dessert," Oikawa said with a completely straight face. "Sorry, my mistake," he said with a wave of his hand. Iwaizumi just shook his head with a chuckle as he picked up the plates.
"I'm never doing anything nice for you ever again," he muttered under his breath.
"Oh, you will be tonight," Oikawa said, smirking. Iwaizumi let out and exasperated sigh and went inside, leaving Oikawa laughing to himself. After they finised the ice cream pie that Iwaizumi crafted, they sat and looked out at the trees.
"Wait, did you see that?" Oikawa exclaimed.
"See what?"
"That right there!" Oikawa pointed at the air. "It was a firefly!"
"Uh, okay. Why is this important?" Iwaizumi asked, confused.
"Because, we are going to go catch them, silly! Here, I'll go inside and get a jar!" Oikawa said, bounding inside. "It's okay if I poke holes in the top, right?" he asked, closing the door behind him without waiting for an answer.
"Well, I guess you'll die if we don't," Iwaizumi said to the bugs, laughing a little. Oikawa still acted like the child he was so long ago sometimes.
Oikawa skipped out of the house with jar in hand and ran down the stairs to their yard. Iwaizumi quickly followed him.
"Hey, can you hold the jar?" Oikawa asked him, a hopeful look on his face.
"As you wish," Iwaizumi responded, taking the jar and the top. Soon after, Oikawa rushed over to him with a firefly cupped in his hands. He carefully dropped it in the jar and Iwaizumi quickly covered the top so it wouldn't escape. After a few minutes, one of them landed on his hand.
"Are you here to save your friend?" he whispered to the insect while Oikawa was chasing another one across the yard. He saw the little bug twitch and took that as a yes. "How very brave of you. What a valiant bug you are."
Soon at least five lightning bugs had made it into the jar and Oikawa was calming down a little.
"Hey, can I see it?" he asked Iwaizumi. Iwaizumi handed over the jar and watchds Oikawa as he turned and held it up in the air. Oikawa gazed at the tiny bugs inside the jar. He held up the jar to the trees with the cute lights on them and thought about how this would make such a good instagram photo.
"Hajime, this has been the most perfect night-" As he turned, Oikawa stopped short when he took in the sight before him. Hajime, his Hajime, was on one knee in front of him and a ring was in his hand. A ring.
"I thought you wouldn't spend that kind of money on me," Oikawa said, short of breath.
"I would spend the world on you. I love you so much. I couldn't survive in this life, or any life, without you. So please, let me marry you. Let me be with you forever."
"Of course."
"Oh my god," Iwaizumi said as he stood and pulled Oikawa in for a kiss. He broke away just to slip the ring onto Oikawa's finger, and then hugged him close again.
"I love you more than anything," Oikawa said into Iwaizumi's shoulder, just on the brink of tears. He couldn't believe this was actually happening. "How am I ever going to outdo this?"
"You'll think of something," Iwaizumi said, pulling away and looking Oikawa in the eyes. A moment of silence passed before either of them said anything. "We can't keep the fireflies," Iwaizumi said, smiling.
"I know."
"It's animal cruelty."
"I know." They both burst out laughing, and leaned in for one more kiss.
