Behind the Smile

Chapter 19

"Bye."
———————————————————————
"Is that Shirabu sleeping?" Makki asks.

"No it's Semi, yes it's Shirabu," Matsu reply's. "How's Semi doing."

"He's doing good." I reply, makki let's out a soft sigh.

"You should probably bring him home." Kinoshita says.

"I don't know where he lives."

"I do, I'll take him." Matsu says, he takes Shirabu out of my arms.

Shirabu let's out a little groan before turning a little bit. Matsu leaves with Shirabu.

I sit back down beside Kinoshita and Makki.

"Hey Suga, it's getting late you should head home. You too Makki." Kinoshita states.

"I'm not leaving until I know Oikawa will be alright."

"And I'm not leaving either, Oikawa is my captain and my friend. I'm staying by his side no matter what."

"Oikawa wouldn't want us to leave. If this happened to us, he would stay up our side."

"Fine then, I'll go to your house and tell your mom."

"Don't tell her, I don't want her to worry."

"She has to know though."

"I'll tell her soon, okay?"

"Fine, but it has to be tomorrow. Because I'm not going to cover for you forever. I'll be back tomorrow." Kinoshita states before he walks out of the building.

"Hey Suga, wake up."

"What?" I groan, I must have fallen asleep.

"The doctor should be here soon." Makki says.

"You stayed here all night?" I ask, rubb- ing my eyes.

"Couldn't let you stay by yourself."

Footsteps click on the floor, getting louder and louder the closer they come. The footsteps stop right infront of us.

"If you want you can now visit Oikawa, he is asleep and will most likely not wake up to any sound. But I promise you he can hear every word you say." The doctor says, it's a different doctor from the night before.

I thank the doctor before rushing to Oikawa's room, Makki is close behind. I stop infront of the door hesitating to turn the knob.

"It'll be alright, just turn the knob and he will be there." Makki states.

I turn the knob, opening the door. Oikawa is laying in the bed with a cord connected to him. He has a oxygen mask on his face and bandages around his head.

I walk toward him, tears falling down my face. I stand beside him, and grab his hand.

"Pleaee don't die, you're the reason why I found a way to smile, a real smile." Tears fall out of my eyes and on to the bed sheets.

Makki stands by my side. "Please Oikawa, you're strong. You have to live, no matter what."

I grip my other hand onto his, sandwiching his hand in with mine. We stay silent, the only sound that can be heard are our tears and sobs. Oikawa doesn't move, it's like he's not here.

"If I knew about the practice Kinoshita was talking about, you and Semi wouldn't be here. You guys wouldn't be injured." I say.

"Suga, you don't know that. This could have happened at anytime." Makki states.
