Cancer

Chapter 3

Kageyama POV

On December 3rd, he woke up...

He was finally awake and able to talk and interact with everyone. We thought it was a miracle, but we soon found out it was far from it.

In the short time he was awake he was suffering...His condition got worse, his hair was completely gone...His skin paled, and he looked awful...

Even though it hurt me so much to see him suffering, I stood by his side. I made sure he was never alone. He was grateful, he tried to be his old cheerful self again but it would always end with him crying and clinging onto me.

Two weeks later and Christmas was two days away.

We had all planned on throwing a small party for him. Since Christmas was the time of year to spend with your family and the people who love you.

We got permission from the Doctors and nurses to lightly decorate his hospital room. We played holiday music, danced, hung the lights, set up a small tree, ate fruit cake, and shared a laugh with one another. For the first time since the incident Hinata smiled. It was as if all the pain and suffering he had to endure was relieved from his body in that one small moment.

Sugawara managed to get the doctor to take a photo with all of us in it. Big smiles and all. I still remember Suga's words...

" This right here! This is proof that you are stronger than the cancer that is invading your body! It's just another game! We pushed through all of the others games and won together as a team!! This is no different!! As a team we can conquer this battle and show that cancer who is boss!! LET ME HEAR YOU!!"

" YA!!!"

" I STILL CAN'T HEAR YOU!!"

" YA!!!!"

We all cheered and hugged each other and just enjoyed the tiny moment of peace. Eventually everyone had to leave, I stayed like I usually would and we just talked and joked around with each other.
