    Summary

    They do not say anything more to each other; Iwaizumi simply steps back, a silent invitation to enter. It is a language they used to speak in childhood, one without any words at all, and to fall back into it with ease is something that makes both hearts seize with love.

    It is so easy to fall back into someone, to let the edges of your body mold to their curves and feel them take the burden of existence from your shoulders. And that, though it may be unknown to them at this moment, is exactly what they do.

    They fall.

    Mamihlapinatapai - A look shared by two people, each wishing the other would initiate something they both desire but which neither wants to start.

    Summary

    If he had to keep watching this, Oikawa was going to dig his own eyes out with a spoon.

    They were in chemistry, and their teacher had paired them up instead of letting them choose for themselves. This meant that instead of getting to work with Iwaizumi like he usually did, he was with Hanamaki, who was both insufferable and terrible at every practical experiment they’d ever done.

    Not that it mattered. Oikawa was way too distracted to be paying any attention to Hanamaki ruining their titration results.

    Because Iwaizumi was paired with Miyamoto Ema, the most beautiful girl in the class.

     

    Alternatively: Five times Oikawa was jealous, and one time he realised he didn't need to be.

    Summary

    Iwaizumi lived in a world of silence.

    Or rather, due to his profound hearing loss, the world was much quieter for him than it was for most other people. That may have seemed sad to some people, but Iwaizumi, at the ripe old age of seven, thought those people were stupid. Hearing was terrible. The moulds of his hearing aids always hurt his ears when he kept them in for too long, and when he did wear them, everything was so loud, from the clicking of keyboards on the computers at school, to the jumble of voices when everyone in a room seemed to be talking all at the same time.

    Most days, Iwaizumi chose to forget his hearing aids, lose them at home, or simply refuse to wear them. At home, there was no need for them; his parents also had hearing loss, so they tended to communicate through sign language, though they did speak aloud and encouraged him to do the same to practice lip reading. Neither of them wore hearing aids. His parents got by just fine, and so would he.

    He only wished the rest of the world could understand that.

    Summary

    In a million imagined timelines, there were never any where Oikawa and Iwaizumi had to say goodbye.

    Tokyo, Japan is 12 hours ahead of San Juan, Argentina.

    No matter how far I go, it moves around me.
    I found my place in the world, tell me you've found me.

    Summary

    Eventually, his hand slides downward, cupping the back of Oikawa’s neck. With a firm squeeze, he whispers, pleads, “Bite me.”

    He thinks Oikawa might’ve choked on the first syllable of Iwaizumi’s name, a failed protest gliding down his throat, and Iwaizumi takes the opportunity to repeat his words once more. There’s a gentle roll of his hips against Oikawa’s own. “Tooru,” he breathes, “Fucking bite me.”

    or: vampire!oikawa feeds on iwaizumi after getting injured.
