step 3: flirting
"think, think, think, think oikawa. use that noggin of yours and figure out what the hell you can wear!" oikawa yelled at himself as he tossed his clothes around the room. "i've been on so many dates, this isn't one - so why is it so hard to find anything!?"
out of frustration oikawa fell onto his bed, his head spinning from all the useless thoughts and things he had done today. he woke up too early, way too early for his liking, but he had no other choice. he had to do various chores before leaving the house to visit iwaizumi. his mom, even when she learned that it is not a date but a tutoring session, still refused to lay him off the chores. that's just the life of a teenager living with his parents, deal with it oikawa.
and so, he ended up waking up early. immediately went to take his dog out for his morning walk, the day seemed like it would be gloomy at first. it was cloudy and the wind was rough, but the time oikawa came back from the walk the clouds had parted and the sun was peaking through. his parents left after he came back, they had their own errands to run. shower, breakfast, feeding the dog, playing with the dog, pretending to be angry at the dog, petting the dog, rubbing the dog's belly - the usual morning stuff followed.
like many teenagers, oikawa felt a bit edgy and entitled - which meant that he felt unhappy during such chores like washing the dishes or vacuuming the rooms - well, at least that's what he would say to his friends like terushima or matsukawa when in reality he would blast music, sing and dance while doing said chores, he would do extra just so he could jam out to his music. just washing the dishes? no, oikawa would also scrub the counters, rearrange drawers and cupboards, look if all the products he had were in their respective places. yeah right, he sure "doesn't like" chores...
after everything was said and done, oikawa found himself searching for an outfit to wear. he did not think it would be as hard as it now turned out to be. he was considering putting on clothes that he would wear on a date, but that would be weird? after all, he is just meeting iwaizumi, they are just going to study together so why stress and put on something nice, sweatpants will do. but then again, iwaizumi is very interesting and oikawa felt obligated to wear something nice, to impress the man.
impress?
why would he want to impress iwaizumi? he's just a guy, a smart guy who is super nice and respectful and doesn't treat oikawa as if he is a king or anything, he makes oikawa feel like his feet are placed firmly on the ground, he feels as if he can show his true side to iwaizumi - but why would he feel that. it has been around three weeks since the two started talking, the first dates for studying that they arranged didn't work out as iwaizumi had to go away, but they have been texting every single day, just... talking.
iwaizumi was different.
oikawa had his fair reputation around school, he had done some bad things, but iwaizumi didn't seem to mind. he cared for the moment, for the present - he had no interest in what oikawa was before, so perhaps change is what oikawa needs. iwaizumi brought a breeze into his somewhat still life. before he would go and party every weekend, skip school from time to time, just do whatever because he knew he wouldn't get into trouble, but now all those things seemed meaningless. why would he skip school if he knows that iwaizumi will be sitting in his usual place at lunch and he can talk to him? why would he attend a party when he knows that iwaizumi might want to study on the weekend and he can come over? what is the point of seeing anybody else when iwaizumi exists right there in his world?
once oikawa came back to his senses, he was already out of the door - rocking some nice sneakers and black pants paired with a dark blue button-up. a simple outfit, but something that suits him the best. he quickly slapped his thighs and butt, making sure he had what he needed in his pockets. a phone, keys, wallet, some trash, and what felt like some coin, but then again it could just be a pebble for all he knows.
iwaizumi didn't live far, taking a taxi or riding a bike was pointless - it only took oikawa approximately three and a half songs to get to iwaizumi's place, a nice house with an even nicer garden. before oikawa could even knock on the door it swung open, what seemed like iwaizumi's parents walked out telling the male behind him to 'stay safe and don't be too loud', words which iwaizumi returned with a scoff.
"oh, hello, sorry for intruding", oikawa said as his parents turned to him, probably wondering why this handsome gentleman was at the foot of their doorstep.
"oh, so you're the person who is coming over. well, don't be too loud kids, we have sensitive neighbors here" his father said as he eyed oikawa, he nodded to himself for some unknown reason afterward.
"oh, we will just be studying" oikawa smiled, his cheeks now rosy at the implications filling his lewd mind.
"is that what kids call it these days? well, use protection" and with that iwaizumi's parents walked off to their car. oikawa could feel the blood rushing to his cheeks, but he should be able to keep his calm, right? he had heard that phrase a few times before, but for some reason hearing it from iwaizumi's parents made him a red mess.
"well, are you coming in or no?" iwaizumi's low voice was so inviting. oikawa, while still looking at the ground and hiding his red face, found his way to iwaizumi's house, he walked right past him, and suddenly... the air got hotter.
"your parents are funny..." oikawa said, he heard iwaizumi chuckle next him.
"yeah, they have some questionable things to say. now, come on in. my parents left some stuff for us" iwaizumi gave oikawa a small pat and walked away, leaving the other to take off his sneakers. oikawa took a few deep breaths reminding himself that this is just a study session and nothing more... yes, nothing more...
just two guys studying, just them in an empty house... studying... right? that's what oikawa came to do? he didn't have some other thoughts in his head, no, no, definitely not. all he thought about is studying, it's not like he wants to spend a fun evening with iwaizumi, feeling like himself and just talking his heart out, maybe sneaking in a cuddle here and there---
"c'mon babe, we don't have the whole day, let's get over studying so we could just hang out" iwaizumi's voice interrupted his train of thought.
with his face still red he turned to iwaizumi, "babe" he said, he called him that - why would he do that and why was oikawa's heart going absolute apeshit?
"okay, okay, sorry" oikawa managed to get the other sneaker off and finally stood up straight, iwaizumi was looking at him with a smile on his face, he was dressed as somebody in their own home would be dressed as, but oikawa found him to be even more handsome than before. "you want to hang out later?"
"yeah, here at my place. unless you don't want to..."
"yes! i want to!"
"oh, enthusiastic aren't we? well, keep that energy up, we'll need it later"
"...oh?"
"you just thought of something lewd, didn't you?" iwaizumi caught oikawa redhanded.
"n-no! why would i? you're the one with lewd thoughts!" oikawa tried to sound a bit more confident, but he felt apart as he watched iwaizumi smile brightly, his teeth showing. oikawa knew why he was feeling like that, but he didn't want to believe it... no point hiding it now.
"maybe i am" iwaizumi winked before ascending upstairs, inviting oikawa to follow him.
the other knew it was going to be a long night, full of tension and blushing, hiding his face and fidgeting his fingers - but how was he supposed to act now that he was crushing iwaizumi?
