"iwa-chan? have you ever liked someone?"

"why do you want to know?"

"oh come on! it wouldn't hurt to tell me!"

"of course it won't hurt. it'd kill you."

"rude, iwa-chan, rude!"

oikawa was always asking if iwaizumi ever liked anyone since they were in junior high. naturally, the ravenette would not answer and flip him off.

however, the brunette stopped when they were in high school. he thought his best friend was probably asexual, much to his disappointment. he liked him ever since junior high, but never had the courage to say it, despite giving off a confident and smug aura when around girls.

this day, on the tenth day of june, oikawa bounced into iwaizumi's classroom while having his fangirls chase him. again.

"happy birthday iwa-chan!" he exclaimed, rushing over to iwaizumi, who was sitting at his table, reading a thick-ass literature book.

"oh, thanks, oikawa," he said simply as he glanced up to see his best friend's smiling face.

"kyaa! oikawa-kun's so thoughtful!" oikawa's fangirls screamed from outside the room, "he remembered iwaizumi-san's birthday!"

"don't you have to entertain them or something?" iwaizumi asked, nodding towards the doorway.

"nah, it's fine," oikawa said, "i have to give you a present later. after practice."

"okay?" iwaizumi said, a little confused. oikawa stopped giving him birthday presents ever since they started high school.

"see you later then, iwa-chan!" he said, giving a wave before exiting the classroom to be met with his adoring fans.

after gym practice, oikawa stood in the locker room, waiting for the others to leave. just as iwaizumi was about to leave, he grabbed him by the sleeve and pulled him back as the last one of the others exited the room.

"what is it oikawa?" iwaizumi said, facing his friend.

a serious expression came across the brunette's face as he gazed at the ravenette.

"iwa-chan, i've liked you ever since junior high days," he said, "and, well, i thought i'd say it even though you're probably asexual and won't like me back."

iwaizumi's eyes widened ever so slightly, and oikawa took in a breath.

"that was my present," oikawa said, before shooting him his million-dollar smile and continuing, "we'd better get going now!"

as he turned on his heel to leave, iwaizumi grabbed him by the arm.

"i accept your gift."

"huh?"

he gazed into oikawa's chocolate-brown eyes, saying, "i like you too. since junior high. and i never dared to confess because... well, you had a girlfriend once and i assumed you were straight. plus, you have all those girls fawning over you, so..."

oikawa gave a little laugh and said, "sexuality is a sliding scale, iwa-chan."

he stepped forward before pressing his lips gently against iwaizumi's lips. he stepped back and said, "and that is also your birthday gift."

iwaizumi let a smile find its way onto his normally stoic face as he said, "you are the best present i've ever received."
