"do you want to go on a date or no?"

"like a study date?"

"no, oikawa, an actual date. like, as partners? you know?"

oikawa stared at iwaizumi with wide eyes, did this majestic man just ask him out on a date? that could very well be the case as he did actually ask him that, but the chaos in oikawa's mind had not yet settled down, it was hard to process such words before your cheeks and ears turn red, clearly showcasing your affection for the other. "for real?", oikawa managed to choke out, his eyes followed the way iwaizumi mouthed a positive reply.

"yeah, i thought we could go, the exams are next week, then our graduation. if anything, i thought we could spend these free days together... if you want that of course", iwaizumi let out a nervous chuckle, his hand promptly reaching his neck to scratch it. 

"yes! of course! i would love to! i just... need to get dressed" oikawa's voice trailed off as he realized the two of them were still standing on oikawa's porch this early saturday morning. iwaizumi seemed to come prepared, he had dressed up nicely and had something in his backpack.

"oh, then go ahead. i will... wait here" iwaizumi smiled at oikawa, who simply shook his head and gestured the other to follow him. 

"you are not waiting outside, come in. my parents won't mind, do look out for my sister though" oikawa said, his brain always speaks before his heart does and he soon came to realize that his room was a mess, his family was a mess, his whole life was a mess and iwaizumi was the only one keeping it all together. he turned to iwaizumi, face still red, "wait here, i won't take long", he said before speeding off into his room and slamming the door behind him.

a date.

a real date.

not a study one, but a real date.

how long has he been waiting? over month. since a bit more than a month ago he and iwaizumi kissed for the first time. things didn't seem to change drastically, but oikawa found himself falling deeper and deeper, craving more and more attention from iwaizumi. he wanted to prove to him that he was the one, he wanted iwaizumi to know just how important the other was. matsukawa was tired of listening to him by now as oikawa spent every hour of his life thinking about how to make iwaizumi his.

the man in question was sitting neatly on the sofa, typing away on his phone, checking schedules and prices and whatnot. his train of thought was interrupted by a finger poking his cheek, iwaizumi turned to see a somewhat familiar pair of eyes, but on a different person. her long brown hair covered her shoulders and her smile resembled oikawa more than iwaizumi wanted to admit.

"yo! waiting for my brother?" she asked as she sat down next to the male.

"yeah, sorry if i woke you up" iwaizumi couldn't help but recall oikawa's recommendation to be wary of her.

"i'm oikawa fuyoi, not an original name from my parents' side, but you get it" she giggled.

"tooru has the meaning of being thorough, fuyoi has the meaning of being careless. funny", iwaizumi followed his words up with a chuckle.

"eh? does my brother have a smart friend? that's news to me" fuyoi acted surprised before sighing. "thank you, hajime-kun"

"you know my name?"

"yeah, tooru talks about you every day, we are all tired of it... but it's nice to see him happy. so thank you" the two stayed quiet for a moment before they heard footsteps approaching them at a rapid rate. fuyoi moved just in time for oikawa's hand to miss her.

"hey! get away from my iwa-chan!" oikawa practically hissed at his sister. iwaizumi's chuckle is what brought him back to reality, ah, he could never get enough of that smile.

"calm down, oikawa. you know i have no interest in anyone but you" he said as he stood up, oikawa's cheeks quickly turned red from his words as he froze in his place, his eyes darting from his sister to iwaizumi at a rapid rate. "are you going?", iwaizumi followed up as he turned to oikawa, who took a deep breath and straightened his posture.

"yes, of course", he said, his hands shaking at the thought that he was finally going on a date with the love of his life. who would have thought things would turn out like that? all that time oikawa spent chasing pointless girls, could have been spent crushing over iwa-chan for days on end. he promptly followed iwaizumi out the house, his sister locked the door behind him and snickered at how flustered her brother was.

iwaizumi looked oikawa up and down, his outfit, even though quickly put together, was well coordinated and fit him well. as it was a warm spring morning, oikawa ended up wearing a white button-up with tiny exclamation points printed on it, it was half-tucked into high black trousers, putting oikawa's long legs and a fit body on display. "i like your outfit, by the way," iwaizumi said as he smiled to himself, knowing the other was already a blushing mess.

"t-thank you, iwa-chan", oikawa managed to say before felt iwaizumi's hand brushing against his. it wouldn't be a bad thing to take initiative like he used to do, right? all he had to do was grab iwaizumi's arm and squeeze it tight, establish his position, and hope that iwaizumi feels the same. so, went for it. he grabbed iwaizumi's arms and stared at the road in front of him, refusing to look at iwaizumi who turned to him, to his relief iwaizumi gave his hand a soft squeeze and the two continued walking.

"so, where are we going?" oikawa asked after a couple of minutes of silence, the two had strayed off the main sidewalk and took a path towards a forest.

"to the lake" iwaizumi answered, masterfully avoiding all the branches and roots that were sticking out of the ground, it seemed like he took this route many times before. "it's my special place"

"special place?"

"yes, it's where i would go and study in peace or just sit and collect my thoughts. you're the first person i am bringing to this place..." iwaizumi smiled and gave his hand another squeeze.

"you know... i am sorry for acting like a fool in school if only i had approached you earlier..."

"don't apologize, dummy. i always thought you were cute" oikawa felt how his hands got sweaty all of the sudden, is it possible to pass out from being too in love with a person? because he knew his heart rate was abnormal and he should probably lay down and chill for a minute. "oh, here we are"

oikawa finally looked up from the ground to see that the path leads to a beautiful lake. he knew this lake, he and his friends would go to it and have fun, but this was on a whole other side of it, the water was as clear as day and the trees provided enough shade for them to enjoy their time without being scorched by the ruthless sun. iwaizumi set his backpack on the ground and took out a small blanket, he set it down and gestured oikawa to sit down, the other gladly agreed and relaxed the moment his hands touched the soft material. 

iwaizumi then proceeded to take out two small bottles of soda and a box with probably contained food, he laid down next to oikawa and the two of them stared at the clear blue sky and the branches of pines above them. 

"thank you, iwa-chan. it feels nice to get away from the town and just spend time with you" oikawa said, his hand found its way to iwaizumi's again.

"oikawa, i have a question" iwaizumi suddenly said, his tone serious. oikawa turned his head to iwaizumi only to find him staring back at him. "do you like me?"

"..." for a moment oikawa could not say a thing. he was hoping for something, but not a confrontation.

"like me as in... you would want me to be your boyfriend..." iwaizumi sighed. "because i just can't imagine not being with you. you occupy my mind at every given minute, i find myself thinking about what the future could hold for us... at the same time, i don't want to be just another fling for you---"

"no no no! you're not a fling, iwa-chan! i've never loved anyone, but i fell for you. i think about you every single day and i want you to hold me tight and never let go. i want you to be my boyfriend more than anything else... well, i wouldn't mind if you were my husband too, but that's for later!" oikawa blurted out, he watched as a smile creeped on iwaizumi's face.

"i'm glad you feel like that", he said before leaning in and pressing his lips against oikawa's, the other instantly threw his arms around iwaizumi and pulled him closer, melting into the kiss.
