A/N important question and announcement at the end.

"Who do you think you were in your past life?" Makki asked suddenly as he sat down next to Iwaizumi, who was busy looking at some recipe.

"Marcus Brutus, probably" Iwaizumi said bluntly. "Even if I wasn't him, I still was one of the people who stabbed Ceasar. That fucker deserves it"

"I was thinking something normal like a dog or something, but sure" Makki shuffled away from Iwaizumi just in case.

"Where's Mattsun, by the way?" Iwaizumi didn't lift his head up from his phone, but Makki smiled at him anyways.

"I think he went out to buy something? He said, and I quote "today is the day I get laid, preparations need to be made. Oh, Makki, once I get paid, I'll take you on a trip to L.A". That's what he said" Makki mentally slapped himself for thinking about all the things Mattsun could do to him.

"Did that actually rhyme or?" Iwaizumi finally looked at him.  Speaking of Makki, he had cherry colored hair now and Iwaizumi couldn't get used to it. "Oh, will you help me make this new dish? I could use another pair of hands."

"Why not ask your boyfriend?" Makki smirked at Iwaizumi.

"First, Oikawa is not my boyfriend yet. Second, last time he tried making waffles, he burned his hand. He's a disaster. Plus, I'm pretty sure he's busy planning the photoshoot" Iwaizumi sighed at the thought. He shouldn't have agreed, he should have realized that Oikawa would make him expose a lot of skin.

They both heard the lock click and the door open just a second later, it must be Mattsun.

They were right.

Mattsun walked into the living with flowers in one hand and a Balenciaga bag in another. He smiled at Makki softly. Iwaizumi was just kinda watching them from a distance, because he had no clue what was going on.

"Makki, happy two years" Mattsun said, his voice calm. Makki just chuckled and raised an eyebrow.

"Haha... I'm twenty six" the moment these words left Makki's mouth, Matsukawa and Iwaizumi sighed loudly and facepalmed themselves.

"It's our anniversary, you idiot" Mattsun rolled his eyes and held his hand out, waiting till Makki took the gift out of his hands.

"So you just gon' bring me an anniversary gift, on our anniversary, to our anniversary party on our anniversary with an anniversary gift?" Makki asked. Mattsun just stared at him for a second before turning around and walking off.

This resulted in Makki jumping off the sofa and running to Mattsun, probably to apologize. It wasn't Iwaizumi's business. He didn't care. Maybe.

Just as he thought he could finally relax and stay in a quiet living room for a moment or two, he heard footsteps coming closer.

"Iwaizumi, you're gonna be busy today, right?" Oikawa asked the moment he walked in.

"Yeah, probably. Why? Do you need me for anything?" Iwaizumi raised an eyebrow.

"I need you all the time, but that's besides the point. Kenma wants to schedule an appointment somewhere this week to test your best angles" Oikawa said. The face that Iwaizumi made was a mixture of disappointment and confusion.

"Oh, I see. And, are you drinking pepsi for breakfast?" Iwaizumi finally asked as that can in Oikawa's hand kept bothering him.

"Yeah, what did you have for breakfast?" Oikawa watched as Iwaizumi  licked  his lips.

"Nothing" he nodded, he agreed that he was in the wrong here.

"I'm doing better than you, then. Anyway, I have a shit load of work. You're gonna cook something, right? " Oikawa remembered Iwaizumi ranting about some dish for an hour yesterday.

Speaking of that, after they spent a considerable amount of time stargazing, they ordered a pizza and watched a movie too. It was like a stay-at-home date and Oikawa was really enjoying it. He planned on jumping Iwaizumi, but the other was an oblivious fuck and went to sleep.

How do you go to sleep when a man of your dreams is stripping in front of you and giving you hints? What the fuck Iwaizumi, are you fucking blind? Oikawa wanted you to touch him and all you say is "goodnight babe"? Fuck you!

"Hey, Oikawa, have you ever had five guys before?" Makki suddenly jumped into the living room and scared the living shit out of Oikawa.

"What, no. Did you? Are you cheating? " Oikawa took a step away from Makki.

"Talking about the burger place, Oikawa. What the hell were you thinking? Anyway, Iwaizumi are we gonna work or no?" Makki kept on jumping around, clearly happy. Maybe Mattsun gave him a special gift ;).

"Yeah, but if you have any questions, ask now" Iwaizumi finally stood up and fixed his shirt.

"Yes.." Makki got the other's attention. "May I kill myself?"

"Do I care?" Iwaizumi shut Makki's sudden whining out and headed towards the kitchen. He wasn't having any of their bullshit today, not today.

Makki quietly followed Iwaizumi to the kitchen, it was unusual though. Usually Makki would say some dumb punch line like they do in CSI: Miami, but this time he stayed quiet and just watched Iwaizumi take all the products out. Probably because of his arms and those sweet sweet muscles that could be seen through Iwaizumi's tight t-shirt. Gosh, Makki had some urges, but he's loyal unlike Miko.

"Makki, didn't you rinse these tomatoes before?" Iwaizumi turned to the other male, one eyebrow raised.

"I did" Makki said, though he wasn't so sure himself. His memories may have been fake.

"With what, hotdog water? They stink!" Iwaizumi made Makki look at him with a slightly apologetic look.

"Actually I don't remember, I don't even remember who I am. Who am I, Iwaizumi? Who are you? Are you real?" Makki tried bullshitting his way out of the situation.

"Just say that you didn't wash them and we can move on..." the other sighed and ruffled his hair, Iwaizumi seemed to be in a weird mood today.

"You seem upset. Is everything okay?" Makki asked, noticing Iwaizumi's weird behaviour.

"Yeah, just.. got an weird message this morning, it's throwing me off" Iwaizumi said, Makki knew that he wouldn't answer further questions so he just nodded and continued dicing onions.

Weird silence filled the room. Now that Makki was left alone with his thoughts, he ended up wondering what message could make Iwaizumi like this. Not Oikawa, not him or Mattsun. Neither Kuroo, Bokuto, Kenma nor Akaashi would text anything weird. Miko doesn't have his number. Maybe one of his exes? That could be the case.

"You're awfully quiet" Iwaizumi interrupted Makki's thoughts.

"I don't want to annoy you today, but if you want I can tell you a story. It's a conversation I had with Yuri's friend Yurio" Makki nudged him. A small smile indicated Iwaizumi's interest.

Once the tomatoes were finally washed and diced, Iwaizumi took out the chicken. "Never met him, but go ahead"

"Yurio is the complete opposite of Kenma in personality standarts, but similar to him in looks. Anyway, he spent 15 minutes telling me how he takes showers since apparently he believes that every country takes different showers! What the hell?" Makki exclaimed.

"What? Is he dumb? We're just like anyone else!" Iwaizumi chuckled.

"Exactly! Just like everybody we get into the shower, get nice and wet, then w---" Makki was interrupted mid-sentence.

"Then we get our ramen noodles, yes I know. How's that different..." Iwaizumi sighed.

"That's what I was thinking!" Seeing a smile on Iwaizumi's face made Makki relaxed. Maybe everything was okay after all and he was just a worrybug.

A sudden thud made both of the jump, Mattsun was standing in the doorway with a magazine in his hands.

"Makki, what is this? Is this an adults magazine?" Mattsun stared at the other who seemed flustered.

"Mattsun, it's not what you think!" Makki tried defending himself.

"Oh, I think it is" Mattsun's facial expressions was indescribable, it was that one expression that every woman in a movie has when she finds out that her man is cheating.

"I was reading an article" Makki said. Mattsun's expression changed immediately.

"You can read? I'm proud of you, sorry for assuming" he said, leaving Iwaizumi confused. For some reason for a moment there he thought that he was dreaming all of this.

Hello! Hope you enjoyed this chapter!

Now to the important question.

I think every author in my place would ask this. It makes me seem greedy, but I'm doing it anyway: is there something wrong with the latest chapters?

I used to get around 1k reads, 110-130 votes and ~200 comments in a week (from update to update), so I was wondering if something was wrong since that has dropped to almost a half.

Are you all getting the notifications? Or maybe the story isn't interesting anymore? Please tell me so I can rest easy.

As for the announcement: I am currently writing a side-story for this fanfic.

You all grew to love the quarter that is Kuroo, Bokuto, Kenma and Akaashi. So I thought that writing a story for them isn't that bad. Their backstories, how they all met, how their relationships grew. It should be fun.

While it isn't published yet, I'll keep you updated about it's progress as long as you're interested.

Hope you all have a great day! See you next update!
