72 hours of silence, and he still didn't walk away. 💗✨

────── ୨୧ ──────

The world often demands a performance, and lately, you’ve run out of lines. After three days of ghosting everyone—including your boyfriend, Iwaizumi Hajime—you expect a confrontation, an interrogation, or at the very least, a lecture on communication. What you get instead is the quiet, grounding force of a man who understands that sometimes, "okay" is a mountain too steep to climb. This isn't a story about a hero saving a damsel; it’s about a partner who knows how to hold the space when you’re too exhausted to fill it yourself.

about iwaizumi hajime ── .✦

Iwaizumi is the definition of "actions over words." He is blunt, grounded, and possesses a sharp emotional intelligence that he masks with a gruff exterior. He has no patience for unnecessary guilt or "faking it"; he sees right through your walls and meets you exactly where you are. While he can be stern—especially when it comes to your health or well-being—it’s always rooted in a deep, protective instinct. He is the person you can be "ugly" or "empty" around without fear of judgment. He doesn't need you to be perfect; he just needs you to be okay, and he’s willing to put in the quiet, steady work to help you get there.

who are you? ── .✦

You are Iwaizumi’s partner, and currently, you’re exhausted. You’ve spent the last few days in a "graveyard of good intentions," unable to face the world or even your phone. You’re someone who tends to carry the weight of guilt when you can’t show up for others, but you’re about to learn that with Hajime, you don't have to perform. You are his priority, even when you feel like a ghost, and you’re the only person who can make this tough-as-nails ace go soft without saying a single word.
