The world had to know at some point, right? There was no point in waiting... right?

A yawn louder than his alarm itself woke Iwaizumi Hajime up that Monday, and as he groaned and pushed away his comforter, he also heard the sounds of someone punching the coffee manchine. Too tired to even laugh at his clumsy flatmate, he strolled into the kitchen and helped him make the old machine work. Their fingers intertwined briefly, and he heard a quiet giggle when he allowed himself to run his thumb over the other's. Wordlessly, he waited, while his flatmate worked on some scrambled eggs. Iwaizumi just stared, brain still foggy. As he handed a cup to his flatmate, and sipped on his own coffee, he finally registered that he was being adressed.

"Iiiiiiwa-chan!" loud, chirpy voice as always, Oikawa Tooru was trying to catch his attention. Hajime sighed.
"Yes?"
"Good morning! I thought you'd keep being a zombie forever, geez." Hajime glanced at the other. His face was bright and already hidden under a layer of makeup that only years together had helped him detect, and his hair was perfectly combed to make it look scandalously indecent, or at least that's how it looked on Hajime's eyes. He was, in all honesty, almost sparkling.
"Good morning, Tooru." a bright smile flashed on his face. Oikawa had asked him a long time ago to call him by his given name, but Hajime had only started doing so very recently. He himself wasn't sure why, but...
"Well, you're up early anyway. What's the occassion? You're never usually awake at this hour"
"I have a video I need to re record" he groaned "Because someone crashed into my room drunk while I recorded it yesterday." only a small patch of pink decored Oikawa's face.
"I wasn't that drunk, and I already apologized! I didn't know you were..." he raised his hands "I didn't see the sign on your door, alright? I'm sorry! I'll... I'll make it up to you" he winked, and, ah, yes, there they were... butterflies. Hajime huffed in order to hide his discomfort.
"Don't bother."
"Are you sure? You could... you know..."
"Do my make up." he improvised, before Oikawa could give any other suggestions, specially while looking at him like that. It was toodamnearlyforthis...
"What?!"
"That's your thing, right? I've been thinking about it lately, I think it'd help my videos if I tried it. I'll pay you for it, if I end up liking it"

There was a long silence in the kitchen, until...

"I'll do it for free! Holy crap, Iwa-chan, are you alright?! Did you hit your head or something?! You know I've wanted to do your makeup since... hell, forever!" Hajime sighed.
"I know, I know..."
"I thought you said..."
"I don't think there's much to lose now... back then my channel was way smaller, I couldn't afford losing subscribers, just in case" but Oikawa was barely listening. He was jumping up and down, and making Hajime suddenly nervous. He grabbed his shoulders, pushing him down into a chair "Calm down!"
"I'll do it for free from now on" Oikawa repeated, a shit eating grin all over his face. Hajime sighed again.
"Suit yourself. Don't say I didn't offer." he nodded enthusiastically.
"You have to shoot that video again, right? I have time before my first class, let me do your makeup now"
"Fine..."

He managed to bargain for time to finish his coffee, but soon enough he was being pushed into Oikawa's studio. It was full of drawers and make up things that Hajime could not, for the life of him, name or give a proper use.

Oikawa was still in college, he'd jumped from one major to another until finally deciding to rebel against his parents and study his passion. Make up. Hajime had studied Spanish, and French, and had ended up liking languages so much that in his five years of college he'd also started quite a few other languages on his own. A self taught polyglot, he'd decided to start a youtube channel when he was on his last year of college, and it had worked slowly, but he'd finally managed to call it a full time job. Oikawa, on the other hand, had started barely a year ago, but his channel had been a boom since the very start, and while he didn't have too many suscribers, and he certainly didn't have time to make of it a full time job, he was managing it pretty well. Hajime wasn't jealous, or at least not much. Language videos weren't nearly as popular as makeup videos, and he wasn't nearly as popular as his flatmate. He'd assumed that from the getgo.

As he sat in a puffy chair, he started to recognize things from Oikawa's videos. Brushes, colors, certain brands... Not that he'd been watching the videos! He sometimes helped him with editing them, that's all. After all, he'd been in youtube for longer.

Suddenly, there were hands on his face, pushing his bangs away, and he let Oikawa work. He wasn't sure he wanted to think too much about it, so he put his mind on stand by and limited himself to doing what the other asked for.

It was maybe two or three days after he uploaded the video he'd recorded that day when he noticed the growing section in the comments that wouldn't shut up about the make up. The comments seemed to be incredibly positive, mainly from women, but positive nonetheless. It wasn't that Oikawa had gone crazy either, he'd been very surprised to find his face mostly just as he knew it when he finally looked into a mirror that morning. Again, only the time spent with his best friend had helped him notice the subtle changes that makeup made on him. He thought about it, and about a week later, he left a copy of a legal contract on Oikawa's desk. It was returned with a dramatic scene from the other boy, who insisted in doing it for free with the only condition that he'd promo him. And so he agreed.

And there he was, trying to find the best way to promo a channel that had nothing to do with languages. He sighed, stopping the recording and brushing his hair out of his face. He'd finished early, so he might as well brainstorm...

All in all, it had been a good idea. The video was immediately a boom, and he even gained followers from Oikawa's channel. He had yet to hear from Oikawa himself, but Hajime was pretty proud of his video. Learn how to talk about make up in different languages... he himself had needed some research for this video, but he was pretty happy with the outcome. His followers seemed to be as well, and he hadn't failed to read some hyped comments about how was it possible that the two youtubers knew each other!

One thing led to another, and shortly after, Oikawa had knocked on his door asking for a collab. He couldn't really say no, could he?

The world had to know at some point, right?

Was this the moment? Was this when everybody started realizing before he got his courage together? Oikawa was babblering in front of his camera, and there was Hajime, sitting beside him, close enough that he could smell his cologne, or his shampoo, or whatever that smell was. The idea for the collab was fairly straightforward. They'd talk about how they knew each other while attempting to talk about the other's channel topic. Hajime was pretty sure he'd fail magnificently, but as everybody in the youtube industry knew, there will always be people who enjoy watching you fail. Same went for Oikawa, who had admitted to barely remembering a few words in Spanish from high school.

He went first. He detailed how he'd decided what he wanted to study pretty quickly, and how he'd found himself the flat with help from his parents then. He'd known Oikawa since they were children, and so it wasn't a surprise when he eventually ended up sharing a flat with him, specially after his second change in majors... or was it the third? Oikawa had laughed good naturedly at that, handing him a new make up product that Hajime attempted to guess. This one was the first one that had a name on it, and so it was easy to read for him, scoring him one point. He wasn't able to decide what it was for, but Oikawa just laughed it off and handed him something else.

After a few minutes and a break, it was Oikawa's turn. He talked lightly about his first few years in college, and mentioned his relationship with his parents briefly too. He was openly bi, apparently, which was a surprise to Hajime. Of course he knew, but saying that to the world... But, he told himself, having a make up channel being a man was a job prone to questioning. He'd probably saved himself the trouble of letting people speculate. He handed him a piece of paper with a sentence in French, and laughed at him as he pronounced it spectacularly wrong. He didn't miss the way Oikawa's eyes sparkled when he corrected his pronunciation, but he ignored it, starting to feel that something was off.

The video was nearly over when it happened. Oikawa had been pouting for a while, arguing that the sentences were weird, so Hajime started to give him easier things "Hello" "How are you?" "My name is Oikawa"... and when it came to the last one, he had almost forgotten that this was Oikawa he was talking about. Of course he'd make fun of him.

"Are you asking me to say I love you, Iwa-chan? For real?" Hajime blinked, taken by surprise, and he shrugged, feeling red tinge his cheeks.
"You asked for easier words, didn't you?"
"I mean, of course. I know how to say I love you in all the languages you know" there was a beat of silence, a glare, and Oikawa was already rushing to defend himself "What? I did some research on some languages. We did agree to this collab a while ago. I love you is a normal sentence to learn."
"... right... Then stop complaining, hm? You supposedly know how to say it already" it was Oikawa's turn to blush.
"W-well, you know. Um. Google translate isn't necessarily the most accurate source for..."

Hajime turned to the camera to sigh exasperatedly before turning back to Oikawa.

"Time out" he called, referring to what they'd agreed would be cut out of the video "Are you actually telling me you used google translate? To learn how to say I love you?"
"So what if I did? There's nothing wrong with that" on Oikawa's defense, he did look pretty embarrassed about it.
"Why did you think I'd ask you that?" he had the decency to hide his face behind his hands and shake his head.
"I didn't, sheesh, I was just curious, okay?"
"Right..."
"So... should I still do it? Or would you rather change the words? We can cut all of that"
"No, it's okay" Oikawa's eyes shone with something akin to mischief, and Hajime sighed "Don't be an asshole, Tooru"
"Me? Never!"

Turning back to the camera, they both tried to think back to what they were saying before, and soon enough, they kept going. Oikawa managed to prove himself right in both French and Spanish, but when it came to Chinese, he surprised no one by pulling out his phone and googling it. The robotic voice did what it could to pronounce it, and Iwaizumi laughed. Whether he liked it or not, it was kind of endearing.

"Sad face" the phone blurted out, and when Iwaizumi looked at the screen, he saw an emoji of a sad face in the translation box, and Oikawa pouting at him
"You're so mean, Iwa-chan" he complained "I'm here doing my best, and you laugh at me"
"I love you" he said, a bit out of breath, and quickly backpedaled when he saw Oikawa's face go white "That's how you pronounce it"
"O-oh! Okay. Then...!" Oikawa looked around hurriedly, and Iwaizumi smiled awkwardly
"Hm?"
"How was this one?"

The rest of the video was fairly uneventful, and, in a moment of either blind trust or complete idiocy, Iwaizumi agreed that Oikawa could edit it on his own. He got up from his seat, heart throbbing in his chest. Was this the moment? Was this when he was supposed to...?

"Hey, Iwa-chan?" he head behind him, and his heart leaped into his throat. He swallowed, before turning around, feeling his cheeks turn slightly red.
"Tooru?" he asked, quietly.
"Happy face, happy face, happy face, happy face, happy face, happy face, happy face, happy face."

Iwaizumi blinked, once, twice, rubbed his eyes, and then sighed. Hiding a small smile under the palm of his hand, he exited the room.

"Don't ever talk to me again, Trashkawa"
"Mean, Iwa-chan!"

No. No, it wasn't the moment... not yet.

I hope you liked it! Favorites and reviews are love and life :3
