When The Timer Hits Zero. ~Iwaoi~

~Part Twenty Two~

Today's friday. Another date between Lana and Iwa. Her timer should be on two days. Poor Iwa... I, too, have something to do today though. I am modelling for the book club. They're running out of members and are close to being forced to shut down. With my help, they hope to get some more members. I take a shower and get ready, looking as pretty as ever today.

I am fashionably late at out meeting spot, feeling the angry glare from my friend Tsukishima coming my way. 'Sorry, Tsukishima!' I send him an apologizing smile. Tsukishima is the chairman of the book club. Wait. Where did his timer go? Last time I checked, it had quite some time left. Has there been a change in fate? (!A/N!)

I shrug it off. I got my friends Kiyoko and Yachi come to help me with my outfit, but it seems like they brought a make-up kit as well. As the two most loved managers of the musical club, we always stand out, three such cute and pretty persons meeting is rare.

'Kiyoko, Yachi, thank you for coming.' Tsukishima says in a monotone voice. Kiyoko smiles at him, Yachi's avoiding his gaze, blushing from the presence of a big scary guy. 'Hey! What about me?' I pout. Tsukishima huffs and walks away, talking to the first year photographer that's looking at him with admiration.

Soon, the shoot starts. It's good to have my mind off Iwa for a while. We get stares from everyone walking by, but my concentration never wavers, a smile always on my face as I look into the camera.

I used to love books when I was a child. Especially this one. It was my mom's favourite. I pick up Beauty and the Beast. I look at it, a sincere smile now showing at my face, as fond memories flood my mind.

The camera keeps flashing, trying to reveil my thoughs, to catch my emotions. Another timeframe frozen forever because of our selfishness. 'That's enough.' Tsukishima yells at the photographer. I walk back to Kiyoko and Yachi and they help me remove all the shit they put on my face.

I walk towards Tsukishima. 'Hey, heard you were hanging with one of the band kids now? Like, a lot?' I smirk. Another glare. Seriously, when does he not glare? 'So? You better shut your pretty mouth, model boy.' he snarls at me. 'All right! In exchange for a thank you. Or I will tell Yamachin that you spend all your club time on him!' I smile. (!A/N!)

'Fine. Thanks.' he says in a monotone voice again. Tsukishima's such a bully, always, to everyone. It's good to know I can back on him now. 'Yamachin...' he scoffs as he walks away.

It's 3PM already. My dad should be home from his business trip soon... I smile as I know that I won't be home alone when I return. That's when my phone buzzes in my pocket. To my surprise, it's Lana. 'Tooru.' she says as soon as I answer. 'Lana. What's up?' I ask, kind of anxious. 'You love him.' It's not a question. It's a statement. My breath gets stuck in my throat. I swallow. 'Yes.' I don't even try to deny.

I hear her softly sniffling on the other side of the line. 'What's wrong?' I ask again. 'Iwaizumi. He kissed me, then hugged me. But he called me Tooru.' A soft cry escapes the lips of the most stoic girl I know. 'What? Are you okay? Should I come over?' I ask, actually feeling sorry for my little cousin. She's had a lot of problems the last time her timer ran out.

'No.' It sounds stern. 'I have no desire to see you. I knew you loved him. I just hoped I could capture his heart before you did.' Another sniffle. 'Go fix whatever problems you two have and leave me alone. Please.' She doesn't tell me that he already told her everything. To me, she's just overreacting. For now.

~Me: CHECK THE FUCKING AUTHORS NOTES PLEASE LOVE U
Also me: *forgets the fucking authors notes*
I am going to make two other stories in this universe. At least. I am planning on a Kagehina (A/N 1) and a Tsukkiyama (A/N 2) story. I'm just wondering... Should I write them after I complete this story (who knows when that will be)? Because I am actually kinda excited to write Tsukkiyama. But I am only able to do so much. Thank you to the one person reading this (still love u xoxo) -J~
