Quite honestly, Tooru still expected this so-called ‘temporary truce’ to come down to that - another bloody skirmish, much like all the fights against Aobajousai had been. More lives lost, more damage sustained. Aobajousai was unyielding, a blunt hammer of brute force that had smashed itself blindly against Seijou’s armies far too many times to count.

Still, now there was an official document that bore the seal of Aobajousai’s crest, tucked snugly in Yahaba’s pack. On it was a call for a ceasefire, one long enough to discuss the possibility of a truce between the two warring kingdoms. It had been an uncharacteristically diplomatic gesture, one that Tooru felt compelled to meet in equal measure, despite every instinct screaming at him not to.

When Seijou receives a missive from Aobajousai to discuss a potential peace, its emperor Oikawa Tooru could not have foreseen the series of events that would follow.

Oikawa doesn’t tell him the file has existed for the last twelve years, constantly receives updates, and that the original copy contained almost a hundred slides before he forced himself to get a grip. Moments in Oikawa’s journey to win over his best friend’s love: the sad, the happy, and everything in between.

Iwaizumi’s left his cell phone on the bench, and while Suga keeps his gaze away from Iwaizumi the phone lights up with a new message.

Iwa-chan, it reads, Have a good day today! Good luck! <3 <3 <3

Suga chokes. It’s hard to imagine anyone calling the scowling and fierce Doctor Iwaizumi “Iwa-chan.” But marriage probably comes with all sorts of liberties.

Mrs. Iwaizumi must be quite the doting wife, Suga thinks. Delivering hand-made bentos and sending along loving messages.

No one really knows much about the new surgical resident, Doctor Iwaizumi, other than the fact that he's married. Suga's determined to find out more, and make a friend of him in the process.

Iwaizumi Hajime is a single father trying to raise a teenager (or three) on his own. He thinks he does pretty okay and things are going great until he meets the Oikawa Tooru (who isn't as great as people think he is, if you ask Iwaizumi) and his life takes a turn for the (best) worst.

But this particular quirk persists, long enough that Hajime picks up on it. At some point, Oikawa had started deliberately matching his clothing to Hajime’s own outfits whenever they went out. They are never quite the same outright, but once Hajime starts noticing it, it’s hard to not see how Oikawa’s choice of clothing complements his own, enough so that one could safely pronounce them a matching set.

Iwaizumi discovers that he and Oikawa appear to be wearing couple-clothing whenever they go out, due to Oikawa's determination to match his own outfits to Iwaizumi's. He decides to test the extent of that determination.

There’s a hurdle this time around—Oikawa leaves home for a whole-month training in China, and with their sixth anniversary just down the pike and surprises high likely interrupted, Iwaizumi is not about to break with tradition.

But when he meets Daishou’s defense attorney, a talented and extremely successful lawyer by the name of Oikawa Tooru, he finds himself wavering in his ability to prosecute the case. Especially when Oikawa looks like that fucking good in his pressed suit and tie.

“Oh no, Tooru-” but thankfully Makki doesn’t say anything other than that.

He has feelings for Iwaizumi Hajime, who probably has casual lovers just like him in every major city he visits on business. Oikawa is just his Tokyo Boy, just another pit-stop on Iwaizumi’s travels. ~ A story about longing, and how not even 5,487 miles, a sixteen-hour time difference, or a 'casual' label can stop a stubborn heart (or two?) from falling in love.

Oikawa, setter of the national volleyball team, and Iwaizumi, a university teacher, are going through a divorce that the latter initiated. An unwise Oikawa thinks the only way to save their marriage is to stall the divorce, until he meets a mysterious stranger who transforms him into his 21-year-old self. So he becomes what most 21-year-olds are: a university student. One that enrolls specifically in Iwaizumi’s school.

Oikawa then embarks on a mission to find out where it all went wrong but as he interacts with 31-year-old Iwaizumi in his 21-year-old self, Oikawa discovers a few things that changes his course. Loosely based on 17 Again.

A rejection has never scared Oikawa before because he never gets one. They always choose to stay the night. They always want him just a little more than he wants them. But Iwaizumi’s hesitation makes him more anxious than he thought he would feel.

What do you say? Will you stay a while longer? After you leave for work tomorrow morning…will you ever come back?

“Don’t worry,” he says. “I’m not the committing type.”

After a beat, Iwaizumi says, “Neither am I.”

“Then we’re on the same page.”

Oikawa Tooru, executive chef of the Michelin-starred restaurant Blue, has finally—after three years of trying—gotten his hands on the phone number of one Iwaizumi Hajime, rotisseur at his biggest rival’s restaurant. One night is all he’s ever wanted…at least until Iwaizumi actually agrees to come over and he meets him face to face. But don’t worry, Oikawa just isn’t the committing type... Right?
