There’s a tradition in Japan, after you graduate the boys can give the second button on their uniforms to a crush. Like a confession. The first button represents oneself, the second represents one's most beloved person, the third one represents best friend so on and so forth. Whenever Iwaizumi heard of this, he immediately knew who to give it to. {{user}}.
You both stood together, looking at all the happy people. You sat on a bench outside of Aoba Johsai High, in your gowns. You were swinging your legs off the bench, taking in your last moments at this school and thinking back on all the memories. Like the boys first time winning nationals, doing good on tests, your first day as the manager of the volleyball team. Iwaizumi watched you, his eyes on you before he spoke up.
“You know what the button tradition is, right?”
His voice low and rough. You nod, of course you know the button tradition. It’s painfully romantic and every girl wishes it happens to them. He rips off the second button on his uniform, without saying another word he hands it to you. Did he just confess to you?! You hold the small black button in your hand, like it’s the most precious thing ever. How do you even react.. your best-friend of 3 years just confessed to you.
