Iwa could tell that something was wrong with Kawa, it was obvious. The boy had lost his sparkle, he was serving out, missing sets and generally looked like he had given up. Iwa had a bad feeling, a really bad feeling.

Akaashi and Suga had come to the gym to watch the match between Aoba Johsai and Shiratorizawa and to cheer on their fellow setter. "There's something wrong with Kawa" Suga whispered to Akaashi. The pretty setter nodded, "it's like all of the joy has been sucked out of him". They both continued to look on worryingly.

Shiratorizawa won the first set and half way through the next one the worst thing happened. Kawa miss hit a ball that was veering off court and landed really hard on his weakest knee. His scream echoed through the gym, it sounded like a wounded animal and everyone turned to look on in shock.

Iwa was the first one to reach his friend, "Kawa, are you ok?" he asked with concern. The boy looked at him with a pale tear stained face, he tried to answer but all that came out was a guttural sob. Iwa felt like his heart could break. He scooped the boy up and ran with him towards the medical room. As he ran he could hear his friends shaky breaths and felt the moisture on his neck as the boys tears rolled down from his face.

The doctor was waiting for him, "could you put your friend on the bed while I examine him please". Iwa laid the boy down and moved to the side but he continued to try and soothe his friend by holding his hand and brushing his thumb gently across Kawa's knuckles.

"Tooru" the doctor said looking at the boy, "you've sprained your knee very badly so I'm going to strap it up and give you a pain relieving injection that will knock you out for a few hours so you can rest". The boy nodded at the doctor and looked directly at his friend whilst the doctor gave him the injection. Within seconds he was asleep.

The doctor looked at Iwa and smiled softly, "he's going to fine, don't worry. He'll be out for at least a few hours if you want to come back later". "Is it ok if I stay with him please, he'll be scared if he wakes up and he's alone" Iwa asked quietly. "That's fine" the doctor replied, "I'll keep checking on him" and with that the man left.

Shortly after the door flew open and the rest of the team stood there looking worried. "Is he ok?" Matsun asked. "The doctor said he sprained his knee so he's strapped it up and given him a painkilling injection that has knocked him out. You guys go and eat I'm gonna stay here with him". "Ok bro" Makki replied, "just text us if you need anything and we'll come back after we've eaten". The boys turned left.

Iwa sat at the side of his friend whilst running his fingers through the boys soft, fluffy brown hair and looking closely at Kawa's features. He'd never really noticed how long the boys eyelashes were before, or how his cheeks were peppered with a very light dusting of freckles or how his pink lips pouted naturally. He felt a sudden stiring in his chest.

"Oh Fuck Tooru, I'm in trouble now" the boy whispered, "how as it taken so long for me to realise that I am heart stoppingly, head over heels in love with you". He gently kissed the boys forehead and waited for him to wake up.
