Back On The Court {Haikyuu x Oc}

Chapter 40

These are thoughts

~~~

Mizuki pov.
After we get back, we seperate to go home, since it was Sunday.

I go with Keishin back to our house.

I take a shower and I do my homework. Then, Keishin and I eat and relax.

When it gets dark, I go to my room to go to bed.

I faceplant on my bed, and I cover myself with my blanket.

I cry.

Dammit Mizuki what the heck? Why couldn't you just play? Maybe if you hadn't hurt your ankle we could've won.

I turn on my side.

How did I even hurt it? Nothing like this has happened before. Jeez, I hate you, me.

I should've been stronger. I should've been able to play a bit longer.

I cry in my pillow.

Maybe if I practiced more. Maybe if I was more careful. What if I get hurt again? Would it cost us the match? I might end up being a burden to the team.

Ya, the team is already so good without me. I just joined in later on. Did they even want me on their team? Why would they though? I'm sure they were doing just fine without me...

And without realizing it, I cry myself to sleep.

Keishin pov.
Mizuki goes to her room to sleep.

I quietly clean the dishes and I put them away.

I go to the basement and I find some old crutches that she can use instead of the other ones.

These still work. It should be okay. I'll ask Shimida if he can drop the other crutches off at the gym.

I go upstairs to check on Mizuki and I'm about to go in her room. But then I can just barely hear her crying.

I don't go in. I don't know why, I just freeze. I put my head on the door.

Dammit Zuki, why did you have to keep it in? You can tell me, you know? The whole time you were smiling, and helping the team stay positive. I should've noticed your eyes...

I quietly walk in, and I see that she's asleep.

I close the door and I go to my room. Then, I fall asleep.

Yachi pov.
In the morning, I wait outside for Mizuki.

I wonder how her match went! I'm sure her team did amazing-

I see her coming up the hill, with crutches.

Oh no is she okay?

I rush to her to help. She smiles and waves.

"Good morning Toka!" She greets me. "How are you?"

"How am I? How are you?" I ask, worried. "What happened to your foot? Does it hurt? Did you che-"

"Toka! Calm down, I'm fine!" Mizuki giggles.

I relax a little.

"What happened, Zuki?"

As we go to our class, she explains what happened. She also tells me about her matches.

"That sucks. I'm sure you'll win the next match!" I try to cheer her up.
