A few days had passed and everything went by like normal but things felt so different. The two boys were no longer drowned in guilt and were actually feeling relatively happy. It was a nice change.
It was a weekend so the boys didn't have an excuse to see each other but they desperately wanted to. Oikawa had come up with some excuse to drag Iwaizumi to his house, it was a lame one, saying that he had gotten a new game and wanted to play it with someone, but Iwa didn't mind. He wanted to see him anyway so this was perfect for him.
Iwaizumi walked over to Oikawa's house excited to see him. When he arrived he knocked eagerly but tried not to show it. When Oikawa answered the door Iwaizumi scowled and yelled at him for wasting his time, calling him stuff like 'crappykawa'. But he didn't really mean it, he was thankful he invited him over so he didn't have to seem desperate or weak asking him to hang out with him.
They played video games for a bit, Iwaizumi getting un-admittedly too into them. It was a racing game and so with each turn and drift, their body would move along with the cars on the screen. After a while of playing, they decided to take a snack break. "Iwa-chan~ Why are you so good at that game!!" Oikawa pouted, grabbing some chips out of the cabinet. Iwa shrugged, "I'm not sure... I just am. Why aren't you good at the game?" Iwaizumi teased. At this question Oikawa crossed his arms dramatically pouting, making sure Iwaizumi saw him. Iwa just rolled his eyes sitting down at the couch, waiting for Oikawa to bring the chips over.
Once they were both sitting down and eating, they realized it was growing increasingly quiet between the two. Both of them were lost in thought, thinking about dating the other, and how they go about asking. Iwaizumi thought about it in a little more depth than Oikawa though. He debated the outcomes of if he were to confess right now. He thought about what would happen if he said yes even if they had soulmates. He was already given the okay from his, but what about Oikawa? Would he be okay with dating someone other than his soulmate? He swallowed nervously. Maybe he would just hint at it, maybe he would just ask Oikawa about his soulmate?
The two boys thought for a little while before both spoke up. "So-" Both said instantaneously. "Oh sorry, you can go first." Iwaizumi spoke to Oikawa cowering down a bit, suddenly losing all confidence. Oikawa nodded, he cleared his before speaking, "So, have you talked to your soulmate at all recently?" Iwaizumi contemplated an answer, should he tell the truth about the conversation they had, or just kinda brush over it? "Not really, we've talked about something but nothing that serious." He lied. It was a very serious conversation, at least to him. "What about you?" He finally spoke again, really curious. They didn't really talk about soulmate stuff much because they both got really tense on the subject. "Yeah, a bit. We just asked questions, nothing all too serious." Iwaizumi clenched his fist. They talked. He didn't know all the details but his heart hurt. He said it was nothing too serious, but they talked. If his confidence was not gone before it definitely was now. He probably wanted to get to know his soulmate. He swallowed harshly leaning back in his seat.
It was silent for a minute before Oikawa finally spoke up and asked, "What were you going to say?" Iwaizumi slowly sat up, "Oh nothing. Same thing you asked." He wasn't lying, he had full intent to ask that. "Oh" Oikawa chuckled. "Great minds think alike I guess!" Iwaizumi laughed a bit before the room fell silent again.
They had noticed how it had been awkward for each of them lately, both blaming themselves and their increasing feelings. They wished everything would go back to normal because they found it hard to hold conversations. Actually, they wished things wouldn't be normal. They both wished they could be together.
Iwaizumi hated being all sappy but he loved him and it was hard to hold it back. He hated not having the courage to confess his feelings. He hated how he felt like a coward. His heart was racing. He had so much he wanted to say, so much he wanted to say and it was just at the back of his throat. He clenched his fist once more, his knuckles turning white. "I'm gonna go to the bathroom real quick." Iwaizumi excused before making his way down the hall. He entered the bathroom and locked the door behind him. He sat against the door, knees to his chest, feeling helpless. "Fuck.." He cursed under his breath, holding back the tears. He hated everything about his current situation. He was locked in the bathroom, about to cry, with his best friend, who was also the man he loved just outside the door. And as far as he knew, Oikawa was as far as he could be from his soulmate.
