Time Alive
Oikawa snorted and put his phone down, he was jealous of humans. They felt so strongly despite being so weak and so pitiful..he didn’t quite understand it.
He shook his head, he wasn’t going to try and distract himself from the problem at hand. That problem being the fact that he had a pin gripped tightly in his hand, it dug into his skin slowly but didn’t pierce it, he wasn’t applying enough pressure. Oikawa rolled his neck, eyes wincing when he heard the odd crackling sound as his spinal fluid’s bubbles popped, probably wasn’t good for you but meh.

Minecraftfox: good…
Oikawa sighed through his nose. He stared at the sun which was slowly rising. Had he really been up all night trying to do his homework and failing miserably? Yes, yes he had. He stared at the printed out tickets he had on his desk, they were for the train to the hotel he wanted to take his friends to. He drummed his fingers against the table, for some reason he felt unsettled, like something was just...off. Now that he thought about it all these people he was just talking to could just die at any second! What if a nuclear bomb hit Miyagi? He would be fine of course, he’d probably actually thrive from it but all of his friends would die! He felt his heart rate pick up. His friends. Iwa-Chan. He needed to talk to Iwa-chan. Tears welled in his eyes. His breath quickened. Why was he panicking over humans??
He grasped for his phone, quickly going to his call list. He clicked on Iwaizumi’s name and pressed the call button, shoving his AirPods into his ears, the brring of the call dial.
Iwaizumi didn’t pick up.
Oikawa didn’t try to call again.
Was it totally unfair for him to send Iwa-chan the lyrics of some stupid song that he may or may not be obsessed with? No, probably not.

He was tackled from his bed, landing on the floor with a loud ‘umph’. A warm body was pressed up against his back. Two thick arms were circled around his waist. He felt spiky, coarse hair rub against the back of his neck, he, for some reason, was crying again. Why was he crying? Why couldn’t someone just explain it to him? Why did everything have to be so hard? He didn’t understand. Humans were so hard to understand. He didn’t understand. He pressed himself up against the body as he was lifted up and seated into a lap, two strong hands holding his biceps.
“You alright shittykawa?”
That gruff voice, the one he loved so much, the one that held so many memories of freedom and release was whispered into his ear. He purred, he tucked his feet under Iwaizumi’s calfs, rubbing against his chest to try and warm up a bit since he was pretty cold despite it being a hot summer.
“Mhm, just a bit emotional Iwa-chan.”
He smiled sadly, turning his head to look at his best friend turned crush through his brown curls. Iwaizumi stared back with hazel eyes, more green than brown though, he had always had large eyebrows, a flatter nose and those hazel green eyes, those features had always stayed despite the strong jaw, scarred skin and frown lines that marred that beautiful tanned face like a map, as if daring someone to find the X.
“You’re staring, is something on my face?”
He grunted, a warm puff of air hit his pale skin, making Tooru shiver a bit. He didn’t stop staring though. Rather than answer he shook his head, he didn’t trust his voice not to crack under the lie for there was too much of Iwaizumi’s face. Every adventure, every story, every time he blinked and breathed and ate and drank and sang and shouted was on his face, placed there like little blotches of ink that get onto your fingers when you are writing with an ink pen. He simply looked away, rubbing his head against Hajime’s, wondering if his heart would stay silent behind its echoing cage made of surprisingly supple bones.
“Why is your hair wet?”
He felt fingers twist and curl into his damp hair. The fingers were warm and rough against his scalp, callouses made by volleyballs, skin rough due to climbing trees, scaling walls and pushing himself into his stupid best friend’s window.
“Mmm, I went to dance in the thunderstorm like always.”
Oikawa blinked slowly, like a cat when it feels safe. He felt safe in Iwaizumi’s arms, he could give it all up now, spill all his secrets but in some ways that was dangerous and so he did not fully close his eyes.
“Why do you do that? You’ll get sick and I’ll never hear the end of it.”
Iwaizumi pressed his face into Oikawa’s shoulder, he could feel the movement of lips against his pale skin, like a brief but intimate kiss but of course this was Iwaizumi, his best friend, who loved his girlfriend.
“Well I feel closer to the angels when I’m in a thunderstorm. Soaked to the skin, shook up with sound, waiting for my bones to before endless branches of white light like wings.”
Oikawa hummed, nuzzling his face into Iwaizumi’s cheek, relishing the warmth of another body.
“You don’t need to dance in a thunderstorm to be an Angel, just look in the mirror dumbarse.”
Iwaizumi grunted, he could hear the slur in his friend’s words. He watched as those hazel green eyes slowly dropped shut, thick eyelashes dusting tanned cheeks.
“Love you too Iwa-chan!”
Oikawa grinned widely. He felt happiness burst in his chest, he supposed he could let Hajime sleep for a couple of minutes, not like they’d miss practice.
