[Iwaizumi flusters a little at the response, a stubborn frown overtaking his face.]
Yeah, what of it? [He doesn’t mean to sound defensive, but try as he might to hold himself together, it’s almost impossible to hide the emotion behind his eyes as he speaks.
[He’s been alone, yes, and it’s been hard - beyond hard. Truth be told, even though he doesn’t know this kid, even though all this kid really is to him is Karasuno’s Number 10, seeing him immediately ignited such an overwhelming spark of hope in him that Iwaizumi now feels like he’s about to crumble with relief. He turns his face away when his eyes start stinging, and stubbornly (and quickly), runs a hand over them, forcing a lump down in his throat.
[He has to suck in a sharp breath before turning back, face steeled again, expression hard, but...soft all the same, somehow.]
Like I said, it’s just you and me now, so...
We oughta stick together, okay?
[It feels more like a plea for Hinata not to leave him, because he’s the closest thing he has to home, but he hope that desperation doesn’t show through.]
I can show you where I stay. And you’re welcome to it if you want.
