TMI

The sound of rain pouring down outside feels like a lullaby compared to the haunting music it used to feel like. Shibayama had long become used to sleeping on hard floors or thin futons on the floor, or ratty old mattresses that offer the same level of comfort as the floor did -which he honestly preferred in comparison-.

Rather than a nightmare, he was deep in a dreamless sleep which he felt was worse in a way. 

He feels the warmth beside him disappear, causing him to roll I and reach out his hand, attempting to grab what was responsible for the missing heat. After a second he has a handful of fabric. He opens his eyes slowly and slightly. A grin slips onto his face.

Tadashi. The taller boy had gotten up and was sitting on the edge of the bed, but he wasn't alone. Daichi was standing about a foot away with his arms crossed over his chest. Shibayama could hardly make out the words through his tired daze. He feels Tadashi's hand run through his straight black hair and down to his shoulder. He tenses. Yuuki frowns slightly. What was wrong here?

He sits up slowly and is quickly pulled closer into something best described as a half hug. He hardly catches their words.

Suga...hospital…..I….C...U…... won't...give... condition...yet...

Wait.

Yamaguchi flinches when Yuuki sits up a bit too quickly. Daichi just frowns at him. When he looks around he realizes that the rest of their group was also awake more or less. Something clicks suddenly as his mind fills in the blanks. The muffled words started to register in his mind.

"Suga's still in the hospital. He's in the ICU all of a sudden, but I don't know why. They won't give me any information on his condition yet."

For a long second, Shibayama wanted to comfort Yamaguchi, and then at some point realized he would rather sleep and ask questions in the morning. He didn't feel like dealing with this right now. Or ever in all honesty.

He lays back down and tries to pull Tadashi down with him, but he won't come. He seems to be frozen. He pulls on his shirt and whimpers when his hand is slapped away.

Finally, when hearing the pitiful noise, Yamaguchi wraps his arms around him and apologizes softly.

He can feel that the other boy is crying, but he doesn't say anything. He was used to it. Reacting to nightmares and pretending not to hear cries for the sake of the other person's pride was just something they naturally did.

Finally, morning came, but his night felt sleepless. He was excited when he got up for breakfast but was more or less excited when several of the people sitting at their group table looked solemn. There was a heavy silence among them, filled with the heavy steps of boots as Iwaizumi approached them with some information.

"Oikawa will have to go through a minor procedure to remove all the shit that's in his wounds since they weren't cleaned properly, but the doctor said that if they hadn't been done at all then he might have died before you arrived, so…"

Iwaizumi bows slightly in Ennoshita's direction before continuing. "Sugawara is stable."

"What the hell happened to him?" Daichi demands with narrowed eyes. Iwa just shook his head.

"I'm not allowed to tell you that. Even if I was, I would likely choose not to. In any case, they'll switch him to a different ward when he's stable enough for it, and he'll return when the doctors see fit."

Daichi glared daggers at him, standing slowly. Iwaizumi's hand went behind his back as he took a step back. He wasn't surprised nor phased when Sawamura grabbed him by the collar of his hoodie, practically growling. "Come on this is our friend, this isn't funny!"
