twenty - six.

a little explanation so there isn't any confusion: now with the last chapter with oikawa having those 3am thoughts—he was basically on the verge if not already in a mode of panic due to those thoughts which any time he does get into those moods he has his friends on speed dial but the only ones that can handle him really is Sugawara and Bokuto mainly. but he usually calls Sugawara more to help him—it's like almost natural. Sugawara has a special way to handle Oikawa's low moments. It something they two created after a few occasions of him going into a panic attack. lately Oikawa has been having those 3am thoughts regretting how Suga and him ended things — even though technically they weren't dating but they moved as if they were. It all changed when Iwaizumi came into the picture and Oikawa drifted more towards him than anything leaving Sugawara in the dark — which caused him to realize that he saw this coming at one point and he shouldn't be mad about it.

Oikawa didn't realize the pain he cause to Sugawara at first due to Suga not saying anything and him being oblivious. Both of them didn't communicate and that was their downfall. This didn't mean they will stop being friends. No, but this did cause a small drift between them. After Oikawa realized the hurt he caused Sugawara — he now realized it looked in a way that he lead him on. When really Oikawa cares for him deeply back but felt confused on what they were and just felt like shit.

Ever since then Oikawa has been wanting to apologize and to fix that drift between them. Even though Sugawara will continue to say, "it's okay we were never dating anyway." That still doesn't calm Oikawa mind.

How Iwaizumi came into the mix. Is that him and Sugawara actually see eachother a lot because they both train in the same clinical hospital nearby by the medical building on their campus. Of course they worked in different departments but still. They always seen eachother and gotten close due to having small chats with one another in the hospital when they can and Oikawa came to visit Sugawara to bring him food and that's when Oikawa meets Iwaizumi that same day and things were history since then.

Tooru had woken up feeling dead. He felt as if he was on the brink of death—his throat dry, the crust on his eyelids, the stinging feeling in his wrists. All he could do was slowly open one eyelid and turn his head which was a big mistake because his body was soar from how he slept last night.

"God damn." He muttered trying to fix his body posture in bed. After completing that action after a good five minutes he turned his whole body a one hundred and eighty degree to be met with Koushi in his bed sound asleep. He was out like a light and this made Tooru feel bad for calling him so early. He didn't really remember what happened but he remembered calling Koushi that's it.

Indolently, Tooru raised his hand towards Koushi's hair. He squinted his one eye that was open and began to let his fingers tangle in the grey hair that was all over the place. Even down to poking the antenna that Koushi had on top of his head, he found it so cute.

But regardless of how cute he was—dreadfulness filled his heart as he knew Koushi would leave after he wake up, maybe eat before leaving because he had things to do.

Koushi was a selfless man no matter what the situation was. And, Tooru hated it sometimes.

"Tooru — stop fucking thinking so hard, I can legit hear your gears running in overdrive right now."

"I — huh? — what?"

Koushi seemed still tired but also crotchety. But nonetheless he turned his body onto his stomach and looked towards Tooru who was staring back at him.

"I said stop thinking so hard. You were mumbling and touching my hair. You do that when you're overthinking plus your aura surrounding you just felt overbearing my god. Close your eyes."

Tooru pouted.

"Don't give me that pout, Tooru." Koushi stuffed his head down on Tooru's pillow facing him.

"I'm sorry." Tooru started but Koushi stopped him already knowing where this was going.

"Stop apologizing and just go back to sleep for me."

"But — Koushi, I—I can't."

"Do you want me to contact Iwaizumi and see can he cuddle you, so you can sleep?"

Tooru shook his head. He gulped looking away from Koushi's gaze.

"Can you cuddle me instead?" It seemed more like a plead than just a plain simple question. Koushi stared at Tooru pout. He even noticed one of his hands slowly gliding against the white pure sheet to reach towards him.

Tooru looked so broken down, that it worried Koushi even more. 'Maybe he needs Iwaizumi. He probably be better off in his arms than mine—'

"Koushi — stop staring and hold me." Tooru had moved his hand back and rolled his big lump of a body towards Koushi. Koushi on the other hand was going through it and squealed under the taller male of Tooru.

"Tooru — what the he — oomf!" Koushi now was crushed under the big baby who slithered their arms around his waist and wouldn't let go.

"Tooru — move your ass."

"No! Cuddle me."

"How the fuck am I suppose cuddle your idiotic ass if you won't let me go so I CAN cuddle you?"

"You didn't have to insult me, Koushi! you wound me."

Tooru reluctantly moved his arms from around Koushi — not before pouting and rolling away. Koushi chuckled at his friend antics before grabbing his shirt and yanking him over towards his body.

"Big spoon or little spoon?"

"Little spoon." Here comes that damn pout once again, Koushi thought. He rolled his eyes facing his whole body towards Tooru, then opened his arms.

"Come here you big baby."

Tooru happily rolled into Koushi arms. The touch was so soft yet careful when he was being embraced. As he was being held in the warmth of his arms, Tooru eyes darted upward to see what Koushi was doing. But to his surprise—Koushi was wide awake just staring forward. Tooru lazily draped an arm around Koushi's waist and continued staring up at him.

"Are you comfy?"

"Yes."

"Now sleep."

"But."

"Sleep or I'm going to leave and tell Iwaizumi to come here."

"Well — what if you both stayed here with me instead?"

"wait, .. what?"

"Nothing."
