Iwaizumi soulmate au
soulmate au where their first words to each other are tattooed (?) on their wrist/ forearm (depending on the length of the sentence)
————
"wOrm?", thats the word imprinted on Iwaizumi's wrist in small dainty lettering, a rather simple word, quite hard to understand it. Iwaizumi always got questions about his soulmate tattoo and every single time, all he did was shrug and simply say "i don't know either".
It was something the ace of Seijoh paid little to no mind to, he knew that he would meet his soulmate someday anyways so there was no need for him to rush. His friend, Oikawa was somewhat of an opposite of him, rather he, Oikawa, was rather pumped up about the topic of soulmates as he too haven't met his one and only yet. He just knew he would instantly fall in love with her (or him wink wonk) when he gets to meet them.
"'O-oikawa-senpai , you forgot your textbook!'" Iwaizumi said looking at Oikawa's forearm which he rolled up to show him, proudly, might i add, one day while the two of them were in their club room waiting for the rest to arrive. "that's what your soulmate's first words for you are?" he asked looking a bit skeptical even if the words on his hand wouldn't lie.
"h-HEy, i think it's kinda sweet!" Oikawa retorted, slightly flustered. this was their usual conversation, Iwaizumi would ask Oikawa these questions while Oikawa gets flustered.
"at least mine isn't a one worded sentence!" he continued. it was true that one worded sentences as the first things your soulmate would say to you were rare but it wasn't impossible.
"yeah, fine", Iwaizumi sighed in defeat, not wanting to prolong the conversation any longer. but to his demise, Oikawa continued.
"do you think my soulmate could be a really cute girl? that's like cheery?" he rhetorically asked his spiky haired friend.
"probably one of your fan girls that you've never spoken to, probably loud too. judging by your type." Iwaizumi answered.
"oH, come one! Iwa-chan~ be more serious!" Oikawa pouted, which made his friend roll his eyes in annoyance. "i wonder when we'll meet!" he continued in his ever so cheery tone. "oh, i wonder who you're soulmate would be, Iwa-chan!" Oikawa smirked, continuing, "i bet it's that girl below our year, (h/c)(h/l) hair, (e/c) eyes... (y/n)-chan was it? i've been seeing you looking at her whenever you get the chance to!"
this resulted in a blushing Iwaizumi throwing Oikawa out of the club room.
the other members who were just outside were stunned when they saw Oikawa flying out on their way in.

you were looking down on your forearm while waiting for Akiyama Kaori, your friend since they were twelve. the words "did you purposely set those two up?" tethered your forearm in big bold lettering. you, a second year at Seijoh always found it confusing whenever the words ran through your mind.
"setting what up? who are 'those two'?" you constantly asked yourself, but could never figure it out, eventually, you would always give up.
most students in your school had already found their soulmate which didn't really bum you out but it did bum out Kaori, she for one was one of those lovesick and delusional teens who would go out of their way to read, write and imagine herself with a fictional character or her crush. you too would read and occasionally self indulge in these things but you were no match for Kaori. other than fictional characters, she also had quite a huge crush on your school's star volleyball setter. her love for him grew even more when he once mentioned to a group of fan girls that he still hadn't found his soulmate where you overheard and told her about it.
you felt someone jump on your shoulders while you were staring intently on your forearm, you knew it was Koari and you simply said, "took you long enough,". finally looking up, you saw your cheerful friend, looking like her usual self.
you looked at her expectedly and zipped open your bag, handing her a textbook. "okay, so i was in the teachers office and while i was on my way out, Ms Nakamura handed me this, Oikawa's textbook. she told me that he handed up his tExtbook instead of his notebook during literature. and i kinda thought you might wanna do the honours of giving it to him so uh here you go."
Kaori looked at you with stars glistening her eyes. she was starstruck. "oH, (y/n)! are you seriously going to make me talk to Oikawa? tHE OIKAWA?" she said as she held the textbook with her dear life, flipping through the pages, looking at little alien doodles he probably drew.
you sighed, "come one he's probably in the gym".
on your way there you thought about Oikawa, or more specifically his rather fierce looking spiky haired friend. you wondered if he had a soulmate or not— not that you were interested in him or whatever. okay maybe you kinda sorta thought he was kinda cute and you may or may not kinda sorta used this opportunity to see him again while asking Kaori to accompany to, it was like killing two birds with one stone.
———
the two of you awkwardly entered the gym as the volleyball club members were almost done with their practice. the two of you knew the other second year players well, you would even go as far as to consider them as friends, you hung out with them quite a lot alongside Kaori but other than the ones in your year, the others were complete stranger to the both of you.
after the match ended, the two of you were noticed by your fellow second years and they walked towards the both of you.
"(y/n)-san! Kaori-san! hi, what are you doing here?" Watari greeted and asked.
"oh uh- Watari-san, hey. Kaori has something to do so i accompanied her here" you smiled awkwardly at him and also earning a small but hard nudge from your friend for pushing the blame on her.
meanwhile, Oikawa nudged his friend and pointed towards you discreetly to Iwaizumi. Iwaizumi felt his heart suddenly beating fast unsure if it was because he saw you or because of the sudden shock from the nudge. he hoped it was the latter.
"Oi!" he growled at Oikawa, scanning around and saw another girl, who was shorter than the (h/c) haired girl Oikawa was pointing at. an idea popped into his mind. "hey, Oikawa, look at the girl over there" it was now Oikawas turn to blush, but only faintly.
Oikawa gasped and whispered to his friend "Iwa-chan, she's adorable! do you think she's my soulmate, do you, do you?" he was ignored by his spiky haired friend.
"iWA-CHANNN" he whined rather loudly. causing the two of you to snap your attention to where the loud whine was produced.
the two boys were rather embarrassed by the sudden attention they were receiving and just kinda diverted their eyes to the ceiling while whistling and shoving their hand in their pants nonchalantly.
you grabbed Kaori's hand and dragged her to where Iwaizumi and Oikawa were and forcibly tried to prop her up as her knees were starting to get weak from the sheer fear from being in front of her oh-so-amazing crush. Kaori finally came to her senses and stretched out her hands that were holding a textbook in front of her crush.
"O-oikawa-senpai, you forgot your textbook!" she blurted out and started blushing madly, you snickered beside her as realisation dawned on Oikawa as he replied, "thank you!... you must be my soulmate!"
there was a sudden pause and everyone in the gym was silent. Kaori pushed up her shirt's sleeve and revealed the words that Oikawa had just said aloud, where as Oikawa was looking at her arm and back to his. Kaori gave a big smile and started giggling while Oikawa hugged her in his sweat filled form but you didn't think Kaori would mind as her soulmate was her biggest crush.
you leaned on one of the gyms walls as you silently cheered for the two newly love birds with your arms crossed. you would be walking home with Kaori after this whole ordeal so you had to wait. sighing intently a small smile etched onto your lips yet you couldn't feel a bit sad that everyone you knew had a soulmate.
"did you purposely set those two up?" a sudden low voice spoke out. you look beside you and realised that Iwaizumi had propped himself next to you, arms crossed.
"wOrm?" your masterful plan had worked, kinda. you didn't expect Oikawa was Kaori's soulmate, at the very least, you just wanted to make fun of your friend after she spoke to her crush for the first time but things had ended up better than anyone had expected.
Upon hearing your word, Iwaizumi and Oikawa snapped at you, bewildered. you looked at the both of them in confusion until Iwaizumi showed you his wrist, making you unconsciously roll up your sleeve and look at your own.
'did you purposely set those two up?'
'wOrm?'
you two had a stare off until the both of your friends spoke up in unison, "IWA-CHAN / (Y/N), YOU FOUND YOUR SOULMATE!!"
you two gave each other a soft smile as the two of your heart beats fastened and your cheeks redden. sure as hell you found your soulmate and you finally understood why Kaori had hugged hers as you jumped towards Iwaizumi, wrapping your arms around him as he did the same to you.
"holy shit, i cant believe you're my soulmate" you whispered.
"yeah" was all he replied with.

authors note (skip if you don't care) :
Did you notice that i added an oc?
there's like two misspelled words and wrong grammar but my lazy ass doesn't want to edit it so bear with it. I wrote this on a whim because i got so frustrated with the amounts of angst from reading iwa x reader fanfics. Like, there was one where I died and one where he died and one where Oikawa dies and ones that Oikawa was my soulmate ??? yeah so i literally wrote this to make me feel better even though i'm not much into Iwaizumi.
keep in mind that this is my first time ever completing a soulmate au fanfic (cuz most of the time i give up halfway).
I'll try to write more so i need suggestions as my brain is very fried.
okay bye.
