Destination: Permanent Vacation

13: Oikawa - Saturday

"I'm sorry?" I sputter out.

"Who was it?" Tendou asks again.

"Why?"

"Because..." Tendou looks down at the floor, his eyes without their usual spark and his mouth without its usual grin. Oh. Oh no... "Because I might've been in a similar situation,"

"Oh my-"

"It was the captain in the year above us, right?" He says.

"Yeah," I mumble.

"I never told anyone, nobody knows, not even Wakatoshi," I stare in surprise.

"You didn't even tell your best friend?"

"It's humiliating!" Tendou protests. "It's humiliating..." He mumbles it again.

"I know that feeling all too well,"

"And I didn't do anything to stop him,"

"When did it start?" I ask.

"Second year of high school," Second year... I think I'm going to be sick.

"That means he only started on you because be realised that he couldn't try it with me anymore... Fuck, Tendou, I'm so sorry!" I tell him.

"No. Don't you dare blame yourself for him being a horny dickbrain," Tendou says sternly.

Too late.

I shove the door to the downstairs bathroom in this wing, drop my gown on the floor and release my dinner down the toilet. I grab some tissue and wipe my mouth.

"Can you go and grab Iwa-chan for me?" I ask. Tendou nods and runs, although I hear his shoes squeak and a loud thud. What in the-

"Tendou," Ushiwaka? "I think we need to talk,"

"I need to find Iwaizumi-"

"Go and find him, then come back to me,"

"Y-Yes,"

Too much drama... my head hurts... Oh, we go again.

I grab onto the toilet bowl and continue emptying my stomach until it hurts.

"Tooru?" I wipe my face again and turn away from the toilet bowl, smiling weakly up at my best friend.

"Hey, Iwa-chan, fancy seeing you here," I joke.

"What happened to you?" He kneels down next to me and grabs a spare washcloth from the cabinet. He runs it under a hot tap and starts cleaning my face properly for me.

"I-Iwa-Chan, I'm f-fine," I protest.

"No, you're not." He says firmly. "Alright, what's your name?"

Ah, the grounding questions.

"T-Tooru Oik-kawa," Iwa runs a hand through my hair.

"Good boy," He says. "Now who am I?"

"I-I-I..." I try to say his name but can't get past the first syllable. "I-I... Iw..." I sigh and give up.

"Hey, hey, it's alright. What's my given name?"

"H-Ha-Haji..." Iwa smiles encouragingly.

"Come on, you can do it,"

"Hajime," I say slowly. He presses a kiss to my hair.

"Good boy, you're doing so well," I subconsciously fist my hands in his shirt. "Now, what's your favourite sport?"

"V-V..." Come on, Tooru, you can do it. "V-V-V..." I groan in frustration. "Vv-V-Vvv..." I look up helplessly.
