Oikawa stared at the ceiling, rubbing a cloth in between his fingers. He turned on his side and took a deep breath. On the other side of the room his teammates were talking.
They weren't loud or paying attention to him so he had an opportunity to sleep.

Iwaizumi glared at Kyotani. "How the actual hell did you get 37.04528 for the answer? It's 46. Tell me how you got such a dumb answer and thought it was right."
Kyotani rolled his eyes. "It's not my fault the calculator is stupid."
"I solved it without one." Mattsukawa mumbled.
Hanamaki perked up. "Hey you're not a dumbass!"
Iwaizumi sighed. "Focus. Kyotani, tell me how you got that answer. I'm not moving on until you say it."
"I dunno."
Mattsukawa whined loudly. "IT'S ALMOST THE LAST PROBLEM FOR CHRIST'S SAKE!" He looked past Iwaizumi. "Um..."
"What is it?" Iwaizumi turned and saw Oikawa laying back down, shaky. "Hang on."
"Wait is he good?"
"He's fine. Check Kyotani's calculator history and see what he did." Iwaizumi went to Oikawa and crouched down.
"...sleep it off dumbass. Sleep it off." Oikawa jolted.
Iwaizumi knocked on the floor by Oikawa's head. "Hey. Idiot look at me."
Oikawa looked up and smiled, obviously forcing it. "Hey Iwa-chan. What're you doing over here? Sounds like they need you over there."
"I'm not going over there right now. Shut up. Did you have a nightmare just now?"
Oikawa's smile dropped. He nodded.
"Do you need help again?"
"M-maybe but all the others-"
"No one is there. It's just us right now." Iwaizumi covered Oikawa's ears. "Can you hear me any?"
"Mhmm."
"Good. In and out, just like we practiced."
Oikawa inhaled deeply and held it.
"Let it go."
He breathed out.
"Again."
Oikawa took another deep breath, this time releasing it on his own.
"Good. There's no point in stressing right now. We're somewhere no one would ever judge you. You're surrounded by friends. You've got me." Iwaizumi eased his hands away.
Oikawa reached back up for him. "Wait I don't want you to leave me."
"What do you want then idiot?"
"Can I come with you?"
"No."
"Please."
"No Oikawa, we're studying." Iwaizumi protested.
"Iwa please? Promise I won't be annoying about it."
Finally Iwaizumi caved and wrapped Oikawa up in a blanket. He took him over to the group and Oikawa laid next to him, his head resting in Iwaizumi's lap. "Alright. Did anyone find out what was going on with Kyotani?"
The team didn't reply, just stared at Oikawa.
"Damn it I'm talking." Iwaizumi snapped his fingers. "Hello?"
"Dude you're being nice to him right now..."
"Shut up. I asked a question." He took his phone out of his pocket, turning on something before prodding Oikawa to put on the ear buds. Oikawa put them in his ears, half asleep. "Now tell me."
Hanamaki held up a journal, voice going down to a softer volume. "This is how he got it."
"Thank you. Do you know what you did wrong?"
"Mhmm."
"Good. Everyone solve the next one." Iwaizumi focused back on the brunette half asleep in his lap. He rubbed his arm, sighing.
Oikawa shifted. He yawned. "G'night Iwa."
"Good night Tooru." Iwaizumi subconsciously rubbed Oikawa's hair, knowing it would comfort Oikawa.
"First name basis, eh?" Mattsukawa teased, raising his brows.
"Sometimes."
