A/N: We back!!! First chapter of pt.2 of Lotus! Enjoy :)
"Just shut up," He grumbles before brushing his lips against mine cupping my cheek in his hand.
This time I'm the one to not respond before letting my body melt into his warm touch as I deepened the kiss.
Iwaizumi pulls me slightly, fully entering his house as he uses his foot to close the door.
The kiss started very gentle as I wrapped my arms around his neck his on my cheek till it all of a sudden escalated as we were both wanting to feel each others warmth.
the kiss was getting more hot and heavier to say the least as I moved my hand to his black locks brushing my hand through it as he pulled me even closer to him humming slightly at my actions.
I was so invested in our kiss that I didn't notice that my back was now on a wall, my soaked shirt sticking slightly to the cold drywall.
Iwaizumi slowly pulls his lips away from mine placing his arms on the wall, on either side of me as his dark green orbs stare into my light brown ones.
Both of our breaths were moving at a faster pace than usual as we were trying to grasp for some air.
"Ren," He finally spoke moving closer towards me till our faces were so close to eachother that I could feel his hot breath.
"Yeah?" Is all I could say as I could feel myself fluster up at the distance between us and his use of my first name.
"I really like you,"
That's when my breathing hitched my eyes slightly widening at the boys words.
"I like everything about you," He kisses me lightly on my lips.
"Your smile," Another kiss this time on my cheek.
"your beautiful laugh," Now my nose.
"The way your face turns beet red when I compliment you,"I turn even more red as he kisses my forehead.
"And all in all," Iwaizumi moves back slightly caressing my cheek with his thumb the faintest smile on my lips, "I really like that kind hearted cheerful soul that I've grown feelings for," His eyes flicker from my eyes to my lips as he places another one on them.
I could only smile into the kiss at everything he had just said.
"I didn't know you can be a cheesy romantic Hajime," I tease looking at him with a grin on my lips.
"Really Naka, really," He deadpans giving me an annoyed look to which I only laugh in response.
"So uh-- do you like me back," The ace speaks up his eyes clearly showing how nervous he was.
"Of course I like you Iwaizumi Hajime. What's there not to like about you. I would name them but then I wouldn't be able to stop. You always seem to make me happy," I smile at him placing my thumb on his cheek stroking it gently to which he smiles back.
A sudden gust of wind comes in the house from the open window causing me to shiver in response, goosebumps forming on my still somewhat wet skin.
"Let's get you dried up alright? Then we can talk," He tells me intertwining my hand in his as he pulls me upstairs.
Giving me a pair of shorts and another one of his comfortable oversized hoodies I walk into the familiar washroom.
Closing the door I let out a sigh as I run a hand through my wet hair as I stared at myself in the mirror.
So much has happened today that I didn't even know how to feel.
Happy?
Sad?
Angry?
Just when I thought I escaped my rough past it only came running back to me.
After taking a quick shower I change into Iwaizumi's spare clothes his scent filling my nose.
Opening the bathroom door I watch as the boy himself held his phone to his ear listening to the person on the other end.
He glances up from the ground his eyes locking with mine. "Yeah I promise you that she's fine,"
With that he hangs up the phone putting it in his sweatpants pocket before walking up to me.
"Who was that?"
"It was Miyazaki-San. Apparently your mother called her worried about where you were so she called me and I told her that you were here. I can drop you off at your hou-"
"No!" I almost shout shocking Iwaizumi of me as his eyes slightly widen at my quickness and tone.
"I-I mean," I continue fiddling with my fingers nervously, "I don't really want to go home today. Is it al-alright if I stay here?"
The ace studies me for a slight second as if he was trying to see why I was so adamant about not wanting to go home.
"Of course you can. You can text your mom,"
At that I laugh nervously tucking a strand of my hair behind my ear. "Yeah about that--"
"It broke because of the rain didn't it?" Iwaizumi states more than asks.
As I didn't say anything to his question he lets out a sigh before grabbing his own phone typing something on it before turning it off stuffing it back in his pocket.
"Just texted Miyazaki-San to tell your mom that you'll be staying here tonight," He tells me closing the distance between us as he grabs my fiddling fingers in his hands.
"So now do you want to tell me what happened?"
I glance down at our hands his thumb caressing my palm to which I close my eyes enjoying the warmth before looking back up at him.
I nod my head in response as he brings me to his bed both of us sitting down facing each other, his hands never leaving mine.
"Well first I want to apologize for the outburst I had towards you. I was just really angry with everything that was happening in the moment that I didn't know what I was thinking," A frown quickly forms on my lips.
"Hey it's alright. I knew that you weren't probably in the right state of mind when I first saw you on the ground," Iwaizumi tells me reassuringly as he squeezes my hand gently.
I really got lucky huh I thought as my frown now turned into a small smile as I looked at the boy in front of me.
"But I didn't mention this before only because I wanted you to focus on you match but I saw Kimura talking to Ito," I continue watching as Iwaizumi's eyes widen slightly.
"Ito and Kimura?"
"Yeah and Kimura was talking about how I deserved everything that was coming for me. S-she just had so much power over me the entire tournament it made me feel weak..." My words drifted off as I let out a small sigh in defeat.
"Before the match after we talked she told me not to get too close to you and the others because I would only end up hurting you all in the process. So that's part of the reason I was so blunt with you in the parking lot," I glance at the wall not wanting to meet those captivating green eyes.
"I thought you were all going to leave me or I was going to hurt you somehow..." I mumble feeling my eyes sting as tears were slowly escaping.
"But the situation only got worse when I saw him, my father," My voice changed from a sad one to it voicing with venom. "He just decided to show up out of nowhere then run away without any explanation."
I could feel myself slightly shaking as the voices of my mother and father rang in my ears of their conversation just moments ago. That is till I feel strong arms pull me in, Iwaizumi drawing circles on my back gently in attempts to calm my shaking self.
I could only cry my eyes out as I stuffed my face in Iwaizumi's neck feeling myself break down again as the boy whispered sweet nothings in my ear.
We stayed in this position for what seemed like forever till my stomach grumbled slightly my cheeks heating up in embarrassment.
"You seem hungry," Iwaizumi chuckles pulling me back so that I could meet his warm eyes. "I'll go get you something to eat. Wait here."
He pulled away from my grasp me missing his warm touch as I watch him walk out of his room and towards his staircase.
"Why is all this shit happening to me now," I mumble to myself rubbing my eyes with my hands.
There was just so much going on in my life that I didn't even know where to start.
That is until he walked in with a bowl of instant ramen and a glass of water placing it on his bedside table carefully.
I barged into his house with no context and he instantly took me in trying to make me feel better even after I told him off only moments before. I honestly didn't deserve this boy.
"Hey Iwaizumi?" I spoke up softly to which he looked away from the bowl to me his eyebrows furrowing slightly as he waited for me to continue.
"I-I was just wondering...wβwhat are we?" I ask nervously fiddling with my fingers.
The ace himself seemed to be in deep thought as he was thinking through his next words.
I got up from his bed as I waited impatiently scared for what he was going to say.
To my surprise he walks towards me a slow blush creeping on his cheek as he looked up at the ceiling before looking at me.
"Naka-Chan, will you uhβbe my girlfriend?"
Those words instantly brought a smile to my face as I cupped his cheek in my hand bringing his face down to my level.
"Of course I'll be your girlfriend, Iwa-Chan," I peck him lightly on the lips as he reddened even more.
"Oh thank god I thought you were going to say no," He mumbles letting out a small sigh to which I giggle at his nervousness.
"Okay now you should eat since I have no clue as to the last time you did," Iwaizumi dragged me to his beside table as I plopped down on his bed, him passing me the food.
"Thank you Hajime!" I beam taking the food in hand.
"No problem," He grumbles but I could help but notice the small tint of red still on his cheeks.
As I ate my food we began to talk about both of our tournaments and couldn't help but notice the small hint of disappointment in Iwaizumi's voice as he talked about the matches.
I tried my best to reassure him that he did not let his teammates down when I was in reality being a hypocrite as I thought the exact same as he did.
I decided to explain to him about seeing my father and everything leaving out the detail of him not possibly being my dad as I didn't feel the need to tell him till I heard those words come straight from my fathers mouth to me.
After our long talk that lasted Iwaizumi took my bowl that was now empty placing it in the kitchen sink before walking back up to his room.
As he was gone my mind quickly brought the thought of not having my sleeping pills with me, my anxiety taking over my body as I thought of the last time I didn't have them.
"What's wrong?" A voice echoed and my head perked up to see Iwaizumi at the doorway looking at me with concern.
"It's your sleeping pills isn't it?" He answers for me to which I nod slowly in response.
The boy walks up to me grabbing both my hands from my side pulling me towards the bed telling me to get under the covers.
Slowly I oblige to his words as he turns off his bedroom light also doing the same.
He turned his body to face me his eyes staring into mine. "We can talk for as long as you want till you fall asleep alright?" Iwaizumi says in a calm tone.
"O-okay," I quietly respond not breaking my gaze from his.
"I forgot to ask this earlier, but where are your parents and your sister?" I curiously ask.
"Oh they're on a business trip as per usual and my sister lives on campus at her university so I'm basically always here alone," Iwaizumi says ever so naturally like he's used to it.
"Does it ever get lonely?"
The ace glances up at the ceiling letting out a small sigh. "Sometimes. I'm pretty much used to it by now but I also enjoy having company."
My heart dropped for the boy in front of me as you could clearly see him trying not to show any sort of emotion.
I didn't want to push him on it but I wanted to somehow make him happy.
"But I have you here with me now and it's honestly all I could ever ask for,"
My eyes widen at his words my face heating up as Iwaizumi moved closer to me wrapping his arm around the side of my waist pulling me in too.
"Like I said hopeless romantic," I booped his nose playful to which he swats it away grumbling under his breath.
He tried to fight the smile but couldn't as I laughed softly at his actions.
"Hey Ren?"
"Hmm,"
"Is it alright we keep our relationship a secret for now?" Iwaizumi asks as he looked into my eyes almost searching for my answer.
I couldn't help but feel a small pit in my stomach as I thought of the many reasons as to why he didn't want anyone to know of our relationship.
Was he embarrassed of me?
Did he not like attention or affection?
"It's because of Oikawa,"
"Oikawa?" I tilt my head slightly.
"Heβ I'm pretty sure he likes you Ren,"
I could help but let out a small laugh at the thought of the golden boy liking me. "I doubt that's true Hajime."
The boy lets out an exasperated sigh closing his eyes slightly. "You can be so dense sometimes," He mumbles.
"Hey!" I slap his shoulder annoyingly to which he only shrugs them up knowing that his words were true.
"But if that's really the reason then sure we can keep it a secret," I continue as I look at his dark figure. "It's probably for the best anyways since we shouldn't let Ito know as she seems to be scheming something with Kimura,"
"I swear to god if she does anything to harm you I won't hesitate to get Miyazaki to beat the crap out of her," Iwaizumi mutters as he tightens his hold on me.
"Well to be honest with you she would probably do it even if you didn't tell her," I retorted thinking of Akari and her hatred towards the girl as I snuggled my head into his board chest. [A/N: Yes yes we know Iwa-Chan's body is β¨chefs kissβ¨]
The room became silent as neither of us said a word to one another as we were both in deep thought.
"Hajime,"
"Yes?"
"With all this shit that's gone on today I'm glad that I'm here with you. You honestly make all the bad things go away," I whisper tilting my head slightly up to look at him.
His eyes had a soft touch to them as he leaned down slightly, kissing my lips gentle.
"I'm happy you're here with me too Ren," A genuine smile comes to his lips as both of us fall asleep in each others warm embrace.
But I couldn't help but dread not only going back to school as I had to face the guilt of letting my teammates down but as well as seeing my mom after learning the liar she is along with my father.
