Notes: i already had this ready, actually, but i'm a lazy shit. i forgot where i was going with this...oh well
Going to parties was not really Iwaizumi's thing. Not that he had anything against parties, he just preferred nights out with close friends or staying at home rather than delving into packed rooms with overly bright neon lights and eardrum-shattering shitty music, littered with sweaty, horny, and inebriated people high from the drugs being passed around through sneaky hands. But after a couple of days of pestering (which involved passing notes in the most obnoxious ways at class, sticking posters all over the apartment and his things, and an assortment of people coming up with different schemes to invite him and get him to come), and passive-aggressive text messaging from his close friends, he finally realized that they weren't going to back down until he said yes, so begrudgingly, Iwaizumi gave in.
So that's how he ended up sitting alone on his friend Kuroo's couch, a red cup half-filled with some orangey liquid that he knew was definitely spiked with something alcoholic (if the state of drunkenness of some of the early partygoers were any indication), looking quite out of place.
He knew he shouldn't have let them convince him to attend; he should've put up more of a fight. If he did, he probably wouldn't have ended up looking so lost in his friend's house while a party raged on. And it was not that he found the party boring, Kuroo's parties were always – as they called it – "lit", it was just that he had his social life was quite limited to a small list of people, and when some of these said people (who obviously has a better social life than him) are let loose at a party, the tendency of them wandering off and actually socializing is rather high and that tends to leave him alone in a room full of people he doesn't know. Which, of course, ultimately sucked.
But he couldn't do anything about it. Iwaizumi didn't want to tear his friends away from their social lives, and leaving the party wasn't quite a good option just yet since he had been there for less than an hour and obviously leaving early for no particular reason would be rude. So he had no other choice but to awkwardly sit alone, absently sipping at his drink (because the idea of actually going up to talk to other people is beyond him).
He actually didn't plan to do anything else but that. Sit around in some isolated or empty corner, sipping away at the punch, maybe down a few shots or so, and probably make small talk with his friends before they move on to talk to more people. He'll probably idle around for an hour or so before finally taking his leave. That was the plan, and he was set on accomplishing it.
He was pretty content with his plan, and was sure that nothing would interfere with it. But what he didn't expect was a tall, half-drunk brunette plopping unceremoniously onto the empty space next to him, giving him a way-too-bright grin.
The unknown man sat way too close, Iwaizumi notes, feeling the heat radiating off of the taller male as their knees bumped into each other. If Iwaizumi was not already sitting at the far end of the couch, he would've moved further. He wasn't particularly fond of the idea of making too much close contact with drunken strangers.
The brunette turns to face him, leaning a bit closer. Iwaizumi could practically smell the alcohol on his person, mixed with the scent of smoke, sweat, and a hint of cologne. It honestly smelled quite a bit sexy, not that he would admit it aloud (especially in the presence of a stranger). Iwaizumi faces him properly, and oh god, the stranger looked gorgeous. The taller male smiles brightly at him, and he finds himself entranced.
Next thing he knows, he's making out with said stranger, still on the couch, exposed to everyone's prying eyes. He does not know what overtook him to do it.
In all his years, Iwaizumi considered himself to be a pretty decent guy. Sure he had his fair share of kisses with both genders, and maybe even more, but even this was beyond him. He wasn't actually quite prone to kissing random strangers at first sight or something.
Maybe it was the alcohol, or maybe it was just the man's pretty smile and even prettier eyes. He really did not know.
But what Iwaizumi did know is that he was fucked.
Notes: that's that. more bullshit to come, most likely. hmu on tumblr or AO3? (tumblr: vvdesd ; AO3: imsodead)
