you and iwaizumi always had your differences, but youād never shied from them.
āthatās why we workā, you tell your friends, āopposites attract, donāt they?ā
and after seeing how well you two work they laugh and agree, noting how it was hilarious to see someone as soft-spoken as you with someone as brash as iwaizumi.
itās like second nature, you think. having been friends with him and oikawa since your middle school years, youāve gotten used to the bluntness of the former ace ā learned to love it, even.
that isnāt to say your differences never got in the way.
iwaizumi sighs, āi donāt see why itās such a big deal.ā
you scoff, āthatās the problem! i waited for you for four years. now you expect me to wait some more?ā
āitāll only be for a year!ā he exclaims, āyou know itās my dream to train the olympic team, itās not my fault you canāt move with me.ā
āand why would i root up my life for you when you would never give me that consideration?ā you ask softly, trying to maintain some semblance of peace.
ābecause i actually have a meaningful job! iām not some barista, y/n, i canāt just get another job at another godforsaken coffee shop like you can.ā he yells
you reel back, shocked. āwhy would you say that, haji? that was mean.ā
āweāll, sorry iām not feeling the nicest right now. my bad for being upset when my girlfriend for almost five years now is arguing with me over an inconsequential thing!ā he snarks
āinconsequential? you call moving to a completely different city inconsequential? it might be for you, but not for me hajime. i have friends here, i have a life that i made for myself while you were gone for four years!ā you sigh, exasperated, āthis wonāt be going anywhere, will it?ā
knowing what youāre about to say, his eyes widen. āno, we can sort this out, yeah? cāmon doll, you know we can get through this.ā
you smile softly in resignation. āi donāt think we can, my love.ā
ābut i donāt wanna lose youā he says, grabbing a hold of your hand.
you lift your joined hands to your mouth and place a soft kiss on his for the last time.
āi donāt want to lose you either, love, but neither of us will be backing down anytime soon. so go, follow your dreams wherever they take you, alright?ā you say softly.
he shakes his head and refuses to let go, āi donāt want to, not without you.ā
āah but you must, haji. our paths are taking us in different directions.ā you smile, your eyes filled with tears. āso you have to go and be great, because iāll be watching you every step of the way.ā
he cries then, knowing thereās nothing he could say to change your mind. so you stay like that, both sobbing in each otherās arms for god knows how long.
āso this is really it?ā he asks, eyes puffy and nose red.
āyou nod, for a little, until i can handle being just friends with you. i know youāll do amazing, love. think of me when something good happens, yeah?ā you ask
āno one else would cross my mind, doll.ā he promises, and pressed a kiss on your forehead before leaving your apartment.
you sigh, more tears escaping your treacherous eyes. you never did get to tell him about your condition, huh? the one that promised to take you after a couple years. itās better this way you reason, a clean break.
that night, you go to bed dreaming of a life with iwaizumi, where you moved with him. a life without having to worry about this stupid condition.
little did you know he dreamt of you as well. a life with you, where you grow old together.
opposites do attract, and soulmates do existā but they were meant to be, not meant to last.
aha hii <3 this really sucks but iām just getting back into the groove of it loves š¤ hope u missed me
