(It's for you all to imagine how Iwaizumi looks after time skip in this story ^^)

16 November

4:47 pm

The shuffling of papers, clicking noise of mouse, rustling of folders on the table, whirring of printer somewhere far, the working of coffee machine had filled this place for years. Amidst it, a clink sound rolled in to Iwaizumi's ears and he caught a glimpse of the cup that was placed on his table before looking back at his workstation.

"Aren't you going to take a break?" The man dragged one chair from the other table and sat next to Iwaizumi, "You are over doing it again."

"This is last anyways." Iwaizumi squinted his eyes, focused on the screen. "Sarukui did you finish editing those pictures of the Fukurōdani Model Agency's?" He asked to the man, eyes still focused intensely on the screen.

"Yeah, just finished it in the morning." Sarukui yawned, "Had to stay awake all night to do it."

"Good." Iwaizumi said, "And printed?"

"Not yet, though I have send them the final product." Sarukui's eyes started getting watery, lack of sleep was now coming to him.

"You sound more tired than me." Iwaizumi chuckled, "Why don't you go home early today?"

A relaxed smile crossed Sarukui's face, "I'd appreciate that, thanks."

"It's not a-"

"OH GOSH IWAIZUMI I HAVE A REALLY GREAT NEWS FOR US!" A very loud shouted approached them, the voice of that person was known to Iwaizumi, ofcourse he would know, he heard them everyday but the this big excitement was new. This finally made Iwaizumi to look away from his work station.

"What is it Komori?"

"WE JUST GOT THIRTY NEW REGISTRATIONS!" He said with clear exhilaration, his hand repeatedly flipping the papers in his hands as he couldn't contain the excitement.

"Man, and here I thought someone big happened."

"Oh shut up Ennoishita." Komori smile didn't waver at all and looked at the man who was on the table beside Iwaizumi's doing his own work in his workstation. "You don't know anything."

"Yeah yeah." Ennoishita kept doing his work.

"Isn't that great Iwaizumi-san?" Komori asked, Iwaizumi himself thought it wasn't that great of a news since they were getting more registration lately but thirty registerations together was for the first time. Instead of saying his first thoughts he just smiled and said yes.

"See even Iwaizumi-san agrees." Komori had a smug smile and looked over at Ennoishita who rolled his eyes completely having that idea in which perspective Iwaizumi said yes.

Iwaizumi shook his head and resumed his work on editing the final piece for his portfolio. He did have this in the back of his mind to start his portfolio which was six years ago, he even had his few photos ready to put in it but after what happened at that time, he just gave up since the photos he had were of someone he didn't even want to see the face of. But he decided to make one after being able to again find his interest in photographing, capturing someone particular's life that meant the world to him.

He saved his last edit and cracked all the stress from his fingers and smiled at the picture.

'You are so beautiful.' He mouthed and put his computer in stand by mode. He took the coffee which had turned cold and drank it in one sip.

"Woah, woah, slow down." Sarukui said, he was now standing and ready to go home to get some rest. "That's not a shot."

"I am not a big fan of cold coffee." Iwaizumi put of the mug on his table and stretched his body hearing more cracking of his bones. He felt a lot relaxed and sleepy after stretching. "Never liked drinking one."

He also didn't like it.

He shook his head and took his phone and made his way to the hall to check upon the others while dialing a call to his home.

"Hello?"

"How's Tori doing?" He asked as he walked upstairs, he couldn't spend a lot time at home these days due to his thought of starting his portfolio. "I hope she is not troubling you a lot."

"Nope, I am having a lot of fun today. Right now she is sleeping."

Iwaizumi smiled to himself, he stood outside the hall and had his hand placed on the knob. He really wanted to go home but he knew he had to do his job also.

"When she wakes up tell her to be ready for dinner, tell her we are going out for it."

"Oh she will be so excited, afterall you finally got some time to be with her after so many days."

"Yup." He said popping the "p" for emphasis, "Alright, call me if there is any emergency all right?"

"Yeah, yeah, I know. Bye."

Iwaizumi twisted the knob while keeping his phone in his pocket and entered the room. The hall's roof was pretty low, the cabinet's were filled with photography equipment which were used mostly by the people who were learning photography but didn't have cameras. The floor shined under the light that fall upon it from the ceiling, Iwaizumi had once slipped on the very same tiles.

"How's everything going?" Everyone's attention fell upon him as he walked and looked at them making everyone's face to light up.

"Good afternoon Iwaizumi-san." They all said in unison, voice expressed how they like the spiky haired's presence. Iwaizumi smiled and walked to one person who was demonstrating a new person - a boy - about the fundamentals of working with a camera.

"Akaashi." Iwaizumi called out and the raven haired boy looked up who patted the boy's shoulder and walked to Iwaizumi.

"Yes Iwaizumi-san?"

"About the Inarizaki Model Agency, that new person had gone for the photoshoot, what his name was?" Iwaizumi tried recalling that person's name, hand placed on chins thinking hard, he snapped his fingers, finally remembering the name, "Suna! That guy, I saw his work and they were pretty good and I heard he got his degree from California."

Akaashi nodded, "He's a very talented guy, Iwaizumi-san. No wonder Inarizaki hired him as their photographer for the shoot."

"I was stunned too, Inarizaki Model Agency is pretty fastidious in terms of hiring a photographer." Iwaizumi stated, "So, about the photoshoot, it was about to end today, right?"

"Actually they extended their photoshoot due to which they did inform us and I am sure you might have got the email but if not then I got one and was just about to come to you and tell that." Akaashi replied, "They said they will pay for the over time, as their agent told on the call."

Iwaizumi nodded slowly. This means he won't have extra work of editing the pictures, he can finally go home now and have some time with his family. "Is that so, alright then."

"And yes." Akaashi's spoke up, remembering something, "There was this person, his name is Hanamaki Takahiro, he is a travelling photographer and he is pretty famous in social medias."

Iwaizumi nodded telling him to continue.

"Today I got his email and it said that he wanted to join our agency telling that he want to learn about fashion and potrait photography, he will be here tomorrow." Akaashi told him making Iwaizumi mind to fill with many questions.

"Why does he want to change his style all of a sudden?" He asked.

"Dunno, I think it's related to some model that is coming in Japan next month."

"Who?" Iwaizumi asked.

"I really have no idea what is the name of the model but just heard that he is pretty famous one, he is Japanese though."

Iwaizumi frowned, how come he didn't know about this famous Japanese model but then it struck to him. After how much had happened in his life in these past years he got so preoccupied with his work just to forget this one person resulting him to live a life that wasn't connected with the world where he also belong.

He sighed, thinking it was now time to start connecting with the world, maybe start by downloading some social media apps.

"If that person comes tomorrow, tell him to meet me in the office." Iwaizumi moved his body towards door, "I will be there whole day tomorrow."

Akaashi nodded and Iwaizumi walked out of the room. Today it was a lot colder than other days that Iwaizumi had to wear an extra jacket before going to his car. When he stepped out he realised how much colder it was outside. He catiously walked to his car, trying not to fall on the frozen ice. When he got on in his car he removed extra clothes and put his head on the headrest and closed his eyes.

Iwa-Ch-

He opened his eyes before he could hear the whole word in his mind. It's been six years and it still feels like it was yesterday when he disappeared, but Iwaizumi also didn't try to find him knowing that it won't change a thing.

He started the car and drove off to his home.

6:34pm

Iwaizumi parked his car and took his clothes and stepped out of his car, carrying the keys and his clothes he trudged to the main door and opened it and removed his shoes after closing it.

"I am home." He said as he placed his shoes in the rack.

"Papa!"

Iwaizumi's all exhaustion vanished as he heard the small footsteps of his little girl.

"Come here." He opened his arms and caught her in a hug as she jumped on him with a chortle that turned into a giggle when Iwaizumi started tickling her. "How was my princess' day at kindergarten?"

"It was amazing!" She pulled away from the hug and smiled brightly at him, "We did dancing!"

"Really?" Iwaizumi picked her in his arms and walked in the home, "What did you do?"

Iwaizumi could see how excited she was to tell everything to him which made his heart swell with happiness, he saw Emiko standing against the door frame of the kitchen. Iwaizumi waved at him and bowed his head to show his gratitude.

"Save that for later Hajime." She took his coat and wore it, "Treat me with something later." Emiko waved at Tori before walking out of the house.

Iwaizumi sat on the couch and Tori climbed out from his arm, jumping with excitement to show what she learned today.

"See, see, see, see." She jumped.

"Yeah, yeah, show me." He laughed seeing her enthusiasm. Tori got in the position and started doing some steps, Iwaizumi tilted his head trying to understand what she was trying to do? It was until the next move that made him realise what she was doing when she did a pirouette or tried doing one.

"How was it!" She stopped and looked at him with big eyes sparking with anticipation.

"You did great." Iwaizumi said, "What is the dance, ballet?"

Tori shook her head, "That lady said something else also."

"So it's not ballet?" He asked, Tori walked to him and sat on his lap and again shook her head.

"She said the word ballet but she said a big word before that." Tori said and Iwaizumi wondered what would it be. He is fully sure that she tried doing pirouette, but isn't that in ballet?

"It started 'C'." Tori added which made Iwaizumi to hold his breath.

"Was it..." He started, "... contemporary?"

Tori started nodding furiously, "Yeah, yeah, yeah! That word, contenpory." Tori tried the word, "Contempory." She again felt like it was wrong.

"Papa! What was the word!" Tori asked making Iwaizumi to come back to present.

"Yeah!" He looked at her daughter who had a small pout on her lips, brows furrowed as she stared at him.

"What were you thinking?" She asked not breaking the eye contact. Iwaizumi blinked and looked away, he took a deep breath and put up on a facade. He looked at her and smiled.

"Just thinking what we will have for dinner."

Tori jumped and hugged her dad and ran.

"Where are you going?" Iwaizumi asked, concerned that she would trip and hurt herself.

"I am going to change Papa!" She shouted, "I have to appear all lady like when I pull the chair for you!"

Iwaizumi blinked and was shocked, from where did she learn all that, he asked himself. He looks at the direction and tells himself that he doesn't want her to grow up that quickly.

8:17pm

"I would like a table for two." Iwaizumi said and the lady on the reception looked at him and he knows what she was thinking.

"Papa! Pick me up!"

The receptionist looked down and she fought back the urge to coo at the sight.

Tori was wearing the frock Iwaizumi and she bought when they went for their little shopping. Iwaizumi had his suit on, he has always liked this type of dinner with her daughter where he teaches her how man should treat her, already keeping the bar too high for anyone to break, he doesn't want his princess to leave him with some guy.

The receptionist had a big smile before she showed them their seat.

"Papa, put me down." Iwaizumi did so and Tori ran to the seat the lady showed and pulled the chair, "Today you sit first."

Iwaizumi smiled widely before sitting on the seat and watched Tori as she walked to her chair and tried her best to sit. Iwaizumi got up and Tori stopped her.

"I am a big girl Papa, I can do this." She said and jumped on her seat and wiggled to sit comfortably and flashed a grin to his dad who laughed at her cuteness.

"Oh god," He breathes, "I love you so much."

Tori blowed kisses with her both her hands, "I love you too Papa!"

Iwaizumi took a deep breathe, no matter how tired he is, or how frustratingly life becomes, his princess is always there for him to light up his world.

"Let's order then." Iwaizumi said.

"I'll order!" The waiter hands Tori the menu and smiles. "Usual?" She looks up at her dad and tilts her head, Iwaizumi nods.

"We'll have one oyakodon, two miso soup, one udon and one soba noodles and, and two ice creams!"

Iwaizumi chest swells with pride and the waiter notes everything with a smile, "We'll get your order."

"No hurry." Tori says and the waiter and Iwaizumi both broke into a fit of laughter which they had to control because the other people were giving them looks.

Iwaizumi bowed to apologise and looked back at Tori and smiled widely.

"Aren't you a lot lady like today?"

"I was always lady like Papa." She says and Iwaizumi chuckles.

"About the dance, Papa. I want to learn that." Tori started doing those poses and Iwaizumi almost let his smile fell but he regained his tranquility.

"Contemporary dance?"

Tori nods.

"Sure." He drinks the water to soothe his dry throat, "I'll get you registered in a nice dancing school, hmm?"

"Thank you Papa!" Tori smiles widely and Iwaizumi melts.

"Anything for you my princess."

Iwaizumi feels happy to see his daughter smiling but something in his heart makes him feel wretched. He knows where this is coming from, he really wishes something could stop this. He wants to forget everything about him but everything reminds him of that person who he detest the most and sadly loves the most.

No.

He loves his daughter the most. Yes, he can't possibly love that bastard, can he?

He tries to efface all those thoughts and concentrates only on his dinner with her daughter.

She is her world now, only she.

But every night Iwaizumi finds himself thinking about that man before closing his eyes to sleep, and sees him in his dreams whenever he closes his eyes.

The world just seems to remind him of that person.

DETACHED(IWAOI)

By WeirdestSweetheart (also available on Wattpad, AO3)

Wind was blowing gently, it was one of the days where everything seemed so perfect, the weather, the cheerful chirping of birds, the warm sunshine that kissed the skin making one feel at ease. The muffled noise of cars honking and driving entered the apartment where sat a damaged soul repressing his sobs.

Broken glasses and objects lay shattered on the floor, the only light that made it's way in the dark and bland room was from the curtains which swayed so gently just like the wind. Amongst this sat Oikawa staring at the distance out of the window thinking about things that never happened and knew that it would never happen, not in this life.

"Why..." He hugged his legs and collapse to his sides, his mind filled with all of the things that happened today, how he lost his everything. His best friend who was his everything.

He closed his eyes and recalled what happened that ravaged his life in split of seconds.

Oikawa rushed to Iwaizumi's house, his excitement didn't seem to ever end. His search had ended after complete five months of struggle. He had to make an excuse to leave Japan so that no one could guess what he had in his mind. He eyed the box that rested in his hand, with a gentle squeeze on it he knocked at the door.

After no response for five minutes which was pretty odd Oikawa tried looking around and then his eyes landed on the note that said:

Iwaizumi family is on the wedding! Our Hajime has finally got a bride! A simple wedding in the Miyagi Church.

For emergency contact- XX124XX468

Oikawa's blood ran cold, he read the note again and again expecting it to be some kind of sick joke. His body seemed to move on it's own, he ran to the church.

'This shouldn't be happening.' His thoughts made him feel sick, anxiety was now taking down it's toll. His grip tightened around the box as his legs didn't stop. Cold sweat dripped down his forehead in the chilly weather.

He reached the church, his breathing not in normal pace, the sickness in his stomach grew immensely as he saw the name of the bride on the board. Oikawa darted in but halted when he saw the sight. The sick feeling in his stomach was overpowered by the tightening of his chest. His body which seemed to move on it's on now couldn't make the slightest move to stop what was happening.

"You have now been declared as husband and wife in the name of the God."

Claps thundered in the church amongst which Oikawa's heart cracking faded out. His eyes never wavering away from the love of his life whose love he couldn't even gain and had already lost it.

The people started walking past Oikawa saying things, how the groom and bride are made for each other, how they are the perfect couple, they looked beautiful together.

When the whole church was empty, only three people were standing in it and looking at each other. Iwaizumi's gaze had spotted Oikawa long before everyone started walking out, his gaze had something different in it, he looked at Oikawa with resentment.

"So you are finally here?" Iwaizumi's voice showed more bitterness than his eyes. "For what are you here?"

Oikawa's legs had lost his strength, he stumbled and walked to Iwaizumi, "What are you saying Iwa-Chan?"

Iwaizumi growled, "Don't act like you don't know." His eyes softened, "I thought we were best friends, I thought that we had this unspoken understanding of always being there for eachother." His eyes turned cold again.

"Iwa-Chan, I, I, what are you saying?" Oikawa was desperate, he wanted to know what Iwaizumi meant, "But, why did you get married?"

Oikawa looked the girl who stood next to him, her gaze nervously looking down trying to avoid his eyes.

"Aiya-Chan you knew that I love-"

"What are you trying to say Oikawa?" Aiya's voice was filled with fear, "Yo-you left Iwaizumi when he needed you the most! Why are you calling me out!"

Oikawa looked at her in shock and disbelief, he didn't understand half the thing she said but with look that Iwaizumi was giving him, he knew that something big had happened while he was gone.

He tried reaching to Iwaizumi but was rejected by a slap on the arm which caused more pain to his heart than the area where it stung.

"You didn't pick your calls." Iwaizumi spat every word with exasperation, it felt like it irritated him to even look at Oikawa.

"But I did tell Aiya-Chan that I am going-"

"Don't lie Oikawa!" Aiya cut his words, "You didn't tell me anything."

"What?" Oikawa's mind was getting heavy, he didn't understand why she was being mendacious. He tried speaking again but this time Iwaizumi was the one to cut him.

"A best friend of twenty three years leaves when he was needed the most and comes back after six months only to pretend he doesn't know anything." Oikawa flinched at the hatred filled in the words, "Why did you come!"

Oikawa stepped back, "Why are putting it like you didn't know where I was?" He said and continuing when none of the two cut him this time, "I did tell you that I will be out of the country for-"

"Stop lying!" Iwaizumi eyes shined from the light falling from the windows, the glossy texture of his eyes, Oikawa knew he wanted to cry but was so frustrated to let it out, "Aiya told me everything."

Aiya stiffened next to Iwaizumi which didn't go unnoticed by Oikawa.

"What did she tell you?"

"How much of a shameless person you are, that you want us to tell you what you did?" Iwaizumi took a step and looked Oikawa in his eyes, "So listen your majesty, you are that person who leaves his best friend when his father dies, you are that best friend who has always needed comfort but runs away when your best friend needs."

Oikawa's eyes widened at his words, he kept staring at Iwaizumi who screamed all his detest.

"You are the best friend..." His voice cracked with all the emotions that he had sealed inside him, "...who is selfish."

"Mr. Iwaizumi is dead?" Oikawa said in disbelief, he looked at Aiya who avoided his gaze, "Why no one told me?"

"You never responded to my calls!"

"You never called me Iwa-Chan!" Oikawa shouted back, he didn't receive his calls at all, nor his message, the only person who messaged him was Aiya.

"I am done with you lying!" Iwaizumi ran his hand through his hair frustratingly.

"I am not lying!" Oikawa was desperate, he was desperate to tell the truth, Iwaizumi was misunderstanding everything. "I only got Aiya-Chan's messages!" He tried continuing but was cut again.

"Oikawa. Just stop." Iwaizumi's voice was stern. "Aiya told me how you told her that you didn't care and denied coming to my wedding."

Aiya shivered next to Iwaizumi, she peeked and saw the stare of Oikawa which showed that he caught her dishonesty.

Oikawa looked back at Iwaizumi and pondered upon the things in a time lapse. His eyes widened as he connected all the dots.

He confessed his underlying love for Iwaizumi to Aiya, how she told him that Iwaizumi likes him too making Oikawa to get lost in the ecstatic feeling of accomplishment of long awaited unrequited love to finally be mutual.

Oikawa's eyes narrowed as he registered everything, how Aiya suggested him a way to confess his love, convincing him to bring something that Iwaizumi would love. How could he have been so stupid?

"You perfidious bitch!" Oikawa lashed out on Aiya who flinched, "You fucking lied to him!" He took a step towards her but the next thing he felt was a stinging pain on his cheeks.

Oikawa's gaze was on the floor, the pain becoming more prominent. It was until the realisation took a hold on him, he was slapped. The pain he felt was something he couldn't describe. He looked up and stared at the person who slapped him.

"Iwa-Cha-"

"Don't call me that!" Iwaizumi pulled Aiya behind her, protecting her from Oikawa, or so what he thought. "You have stooped so low Oikawa."

"You don't believe me?" Oikawa started, tears now forming in his eyes, "She has lied to you!"

"You are lying Oikawa!" Iwaizumi was also crying by now, "Please stop your bullshit."

Oikawa shook his head, his best friend of many years was not believing him. Believing? He was not even ready to hear him out.

"Do you trust this wicked witch over you best friend of twenty three years?" Oikawa cried, "You have-"

"Yes." Iwaizumi's answered that made Oikawa to stare at him, his desperation to solve everything ran out of his body. He watched how Iwaizumi's hand gripped Aiya's, how he squeezed her hand and walked past him.

Oikawa didn't have any idea how long he stood there at the same position and for how long he was staring at nothing. The box that Oikawa was holding was now slipping from his hands, it dropped on the ground and he didn't even reach for it and made his way out of church.

After that day no one saw Oikawa.
