ASK:
An Iwaizumi scenario where he looks at his girlfriend doing normal stuff like painting and baking and just hanging out on the couch and reading and he just realizes how much he loves her so he blurts out to her to marry him. Thanks! Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much for the encouragement, I’m sorry this took so long to get out, I hope you really enjoy it.
It was a simple day, warm but not too hot, the kind where debate between being indoors or out was non-existent because either way it would be pleasant.
“Let’s get some fresh air,” she commented, gathering her easel and paints. Iwaizumi nodded, moving to help despite her soft protests. They made way to the backyard, Iwaizumi settling into the hammock he’d put up the week before while she set up. Hands behind his head, Iwaizumi stared at the branches above but before long his head shifted, eyes falling back on her.
Perched on her stool, brush in hand making soft strokes against the canvas, her eyebrows furrowed in concentration as she blended. He knew that was what she was doing by the circular motion of her hand.
As he watched her work, he felt his eyelids grow heavy, the lull of the breeze and gentle sway of the hammock sending him into twilight slumber, her face the last image in his mind.
Descending into dream, the years of them together faded in and out like a black and white 8mm film reel, the highlights of their lives so far.
Meeting in college while sharing horror stories of their shared professor, unfortunately in different classes.
Him asking her on a date after much prodding from Oikawa.
Them making it “official” the first time he called her his girlfriend to off put some way too insistent guys bugging her in the cafeteria.
The smile she’d given him in that moment.
Now they were in their final year of school, each headed on the path of their chosen careers having faced both joys and sorrows such the death of her father followed closely by the birth of Oikawa’s unplanned daughter (and the subsequent falling in love with the little tyke as “uncle Iwa-chan” and “auntie, ____-chan” babysat from time to time to allow the frequently frazzled parents some peace and quiet).
And on that memory, new images burst into technicolor hues. Images of them married, living together, having children…
The image shook slightly, making him frown. It felt so real, so peaceful, so there he never wanted to leave. But now the motion was accompanied by a noise; the sound of his name.
“Hajime, come on sleepy head, wake up!”
He blinked his eyes open, staring up at her beautiful visage, hand absentmindedly reaching up to wipe his thumb against a streak of blue paint that somehow landed on her cheek. She smiled, that smile, and kissed his palm.
“Marry me,” he breathed out, barely above a whisper.
Her eyes went wide.
He struggled from his prone position, almost falling out of the wiley scoop of fabric. Finally to his feet, he stared into her eyes, leaned down and kissed her. “I know it’s not the most romantic way to ask but-”
With a tilt of her toes and the press of her lips, she sealed off his deprecation. Pulling away she giggled, “It was perfectly you, it was perfectly…us.”
He smiled, a true wide brighter than the sun smile, and picked her up, spinning about the grass and laughing like a fool but he didn’t care. Stopping mid turn, he looked at her again. “That was a yes, right?”
And her laughter rang out to the sky as she nodded. “With all my heart,” she assured.
