Metanoia

Dead or alive?

"Oikawa where are you going?!"

Oikawa ignored Iwaizumi as he slammed the club room's door open and ran out. He had to see for himself, he wouldn't believe it until he sees it with his own eyes.

Tobio couldn't be dead, he won't accept it.

Today in morning practice Kunimi and Kindaichi had shown up with red, puffy eyes and their hair was a mess. He could see the tear tracks on their cheeks, like if they been crying. Iwaizumi looked concerned but didn't say anything, they didn't want to corner their kohais. But it had been the last straw when Kunimi broke down into tears the moment he grabbed a volleyball. His body moving on its own, Oikawa pulled Kunimi aside while Iwaizumi went over to Kindaichi who looked like he was holding tears back.

Oikawa didn't even get to say anything before Kunimi broke down completely and in the process, he let out a bunch of 'it's my fault's'. He tried his best to ask the boy what he was talking about but Kunimi didn't answer him. Not knowing what to do Oikawa brought him into a hug. From the corner of his eye, he could see Kindaichi's shoulders shake as he wiped his eyes, Iwaizumi had his eyes wide open and his hands were shaking, his face had turned pale.

Kunimi sobbed violently and Oikawa's focus was brought back to him. He rubbed circles on his back, soothing him would be the best, for now, he could always ask questions later. From the corner of his eye, he could see the rest of the team looking at them worried and Oikawa wince.

He had forgotten they were still in the gym.

"Oikawa we need to talk."

Jolting, Oikawa turned his gaze at Iwaizumi and Kindaichi. His other kohai has sniffling, no longer crying.

"Can it wait Iwa-chan? Akira-chan...." Oikawa trailed off, Iwaizumi's green eyes were holding tears in. Biting his lip, the brunette turned to Matsukawa. "Continue practice I will be right back." He didn't wait for a response, instead, he grabbed Kunimi's wrist and walked out of the gym, the other two following behind him.

Closing the club room's door, Oikawa gave them his undivided attention. Kunimi looked away while hugging himself, Iwaizumi closed his eyes and sigh, he had a pained expression. Kindaichi took a shaky breath before looking up and telling Oikawa the reason they had a breakdown.

Oikawa felt his eyes grow wide, his breath got stuck in his throat and his body went cold.

"Kageyama might be dead, he was involved in a car crash and from the four people only one survived."

Oikawa had stormed out of the club room, not once looking back as he ran to Tobio's house. He knew where the boy lived. There had been many times Iwaizumi and he had to walk the blue-eyed boy home from practice because he had stayed late for more practice.

He could hear footsteps behind him but he could care less. He had one thing in mind and that was to pull Tobio out of his house and demand an explanation. There was no way Tobio was dead, his kohai is alive and kicking. Tobio is probably playing volleyball in his backyard, yeah that had to be it.

Oikawa almost ran into the front door as he knocked fast. He tried to regain control of his breath, but it was no use.

"Oikawa, what the fuck were you thinking?!"

Oikawa ignored Iwaizumi as he frantically knocked on the door again. At this point, he may look desperate and he didn't care. All he wanted to do was see Tobio, even if Tobio slams the door close to his face, he didn't care. As long as he gets to see Tobio breathing and alive. Heck, he will even hug the brat and never let him go.

"Oikawa stop, no one is going to answer!"

"Shut up Iwaizumi! I know he is here. Maybe he doesn't hear me because he is sleeping! You and I know he is a heavy sleeper! So he can't hear us-"
