"Some think love can be measured by the amount of butterflies in their tummy. Others think love can be measured in bunches of flowers, or by using the words 'for ever.' But love can only truly be measured by actions. It can be a small thing, such as peeling an orange for a person you love because you know they don't like doing it." --Marian Keyes

(Anonymous) 2016-01-05 08:57 am (UTC)(link)“i turned up the heat and it’s still cold,” oikawa whines as he snuggles back under the kotatsu. his feet bump into iwaizumi’s and oikawa takes the opportunity to curl his freezing toes over iwaizumi’s calf.
iwaizumi kicks him.
“ow! iwa-chan!” oikawa yells as he slides his leg out from under the warmth and rubs it. “you brute! be nice! it’s almost the new year you know!”
iwaizumi snorts at him. “you know what they say. new year, same me.” iwaizumi grabs the remote and turns up the volume. he's not really paying attention to the new year's special they have going on, and oikawa knows that too, but it's nice to at least pretend he can drown out oikawa's whining.
“iwa-chan,” oikawa gasps. “i cannot believe you just said that.” iwaizumi turns up the volume higher. "iwa-chan! are you ignoring me? how could you do this, in our own home, just minutes from midnight," oikawa starts, and okay, iwaizumi is definitely blocking him out now. he props his arm up, face in the palm of his hand, and acts like he's deeply interested in the recap of the events that happened during the past year.
oikawa gets up again and tells iwaizumi to scoot over, forcing himself in the space next to iwaizumi. iwaizumi sighs, but oikawa lies his head on iwaizumi's shoulder once he's settled in, and iwaizumi lets him. they sit in silence for a couple of minutes, the buzz of the tv providing comfortable white noise.
"ah," iwaizumi says suddenly and gets up. oikawa falls over with a yelp and yells out "iwa-chan? where are you going?" he doesn't get a response so he shrugs and sits up, taking the remote and flipping through the channels.
iwaizumi returns not too long after with a plate of oranges and he sets it down in front of oikawa then moves into the kotatsu next to him, their knees touching.
"oh right," oikawa says. "can't have new years without our oranges." oikawa picks up an orange and grabs a marker on the other side of the kotatsu. he draws iwaizumi's face on it, surrounded by lots of hearts, and shows it to him. "look iwa-chan. i made you cute."
iwaizumi rolls his eyes and picks up an orange himself and plucks the marker out of oikawa's hands. he scribbles on it and then places the orange in front of oikawa. it's a scrawl of what looks like could be oikawa, if the ends of oikawa's hair pointed 90 degrees upward and his face was the lenny face.
"i can't believe this!" oikawa yells. "you made my face a meme!"
iwaizumi retorts casually with "it's always been a meme." oikawa screams in frustration. he grabs the marker out of iwaizumi's hand and tries to draw on his face as payback but it devolves into an all-out tickle war.
when they come up for air, after oikawa's crushing defeat, iwaizumi grabs their oranges. he smiles at the drawing of himself and then starts to peel it. he peels the rest of them and hands a slice to oikawa when he's done.
"thank you iwa-chan." oikawa leans against iwaizumi again, who kisses the top of his forehead, and pops the slice into his mouth. their home is a little warmer.

Iwaizumi doesn't say he loves Oikawa.
Not with words.
He isn't one for romantic gestures, for things that will leave Oikawa breathless and teary-eyed. Honestly, he isn't the type to do anything that would encourage Oikawa's theatrics at all. His love isn't something that needs to be paraded for others to see; not by him and not by Oikawa either.
Maybe it takes a while for Oikawa to understand that, when they first start off, because it's definitely not how Oikawa works.
He eventually ends up getting it, though, because he understands Iwaizumi. He knows how Iwaizumi works, just as well as Iwaizumi knows how he works.
He knows that Iwaizumi's love for him isn't in the words he says but the things he does, the little every day things that have become so routine that they don't even feel all that remarkable, when Oikawa looks at them one at a time.
That makes them special in his own way, though, because it means that Iwaizumi silently says I love you to Oikawa every single day, in countless little ways.
It's there in the way Iwaizumi waits for Oikawa every morning, standing at the corner of his street until Oikawa joins him, just so that they can walk to school together.
It's there in the way that he brushes their shoulders together when Oikawa is yawning especially loud in the morning, the telltale sign of a night without enough sleep. Iwaizumi jostles Oikawa until he wakes, lets Oikawa lean against his shoulder a little as they wait to cross the streets, supporting him silently.
It's there in the way Iwaizumi will pick up the white bandage that lives in Oikawa's sports bag next to his black knee pad, on the days that Oikawa is feeling resentful about it, not wanting to wear it. Iwaizumi will wait, impatiently, but he'll wait all the same, holding the bandage out, letting Oikawa ride out the sudden rush of loathing he sometimes feels for it, before he finally accepts it and slides it over his knee.
It's there in the way that Iwaizumi spikes any toss that Oikawa sends his way, on their good days, on their bad days. It doesn't matter if it's not quite the right direction, not quite the right speed. He'll hit it, because Oikawa tossed it, because Oikawa sent it to him. Because Oikawa can always, always rely on him on the court. Because as long as Iwaizumi's standing on the court, Oikawa knows that he isn't alone.
Sometimes, it's a little louder than that, a little more obvious. Sometimes, it's there in Iwaizumi's eyes, when they're alone together at the end of a long day, when they're packing up the gym together, when they're walking home, and there's no one else to see the way Iwaizumi smiles, or the way they brush their hands against each other enough times that they give up all pretenses and just link their fingers together as they walk.
It's there when Iwaizumi will learn Oikawa's favourite song at the time, just so he can hum it when Oikawa's in a bad mood.
It's there in Iwaizumi's steady, reliable presence, and perhaps he doesn't need to put it into words at all, because Oikawa hears it all the same.
