With ONE more spike, he had hoped that it would go through the blockers, pass by the small libero, and finally miss the area of number 10, to hit the ground, Iwaizumi stepped back to watch the ball fly.
His nerves kicked in, adrenaline marching throigh his veins with his eyes popped open. The ball was shot passed middle blocker, nearly hitting the ground before their libero, Karasuno’s libero, pumped the ball up in the air.
Iwaizumi stood in shock, watching the small number 10 jump high from the floor and spiked strongly against it, making the ball fly back into their team.
The ball had touched Aoba Josai’s side.
Everyone in Aoba Josai, especially Iwaizumi, had only stood ground when they heard the ballland on their area. Then, the referee blew his whistle, indicating their last match was done, and that Karasuno was the winner.
Everyone gone quiet. Karasuno got their cheers, as Aoba Josai froze in time.
Iwaizumi stood there in shock, despair.. and worse of all, disappointment. Everything he had worked for, gone. His pride, gone. The sudden adrenaline innhis blood for excitement of winning. Gone.
He only stood there in the court, as everyone had wrapped up. Karasuno is going home as winners, while Aoba Josai.. lost.
Tears streamed everyones in his team’s faces, as he, and everyone else, had started to slowly walk away while Karasuno celebrated.
As everyone kept cheering, Aoba Josai had already been leaving.
Iwaizumi stood by the door, just inside the building, still in shock from their loss. He couldnt believe it, he had disappointed himself, but not just him.
You.
He done all this just to impress you.. and he failed.
His anger, rage getting mixed with heartbreaking sadness. He was both really mad and really sad, gripping his fists as he was thinking of punching a wall,
“I can’t believe it..”
His voice shaking in shame and frustration, muttering softly with his tears and labored sobs. His pent up emotions rushing into his head, as his breathed in and out. What would he do now if you find him at this state? He never wanted to disappoint you..
Disappoint himself.. the team..
I’m so sorry… damnit..
