Seijoh's Mom

Chapter 1 - Makki

Makki POV:

I had a breakdown.
Somehow I ended up getting locked in the storage closet before I even noticed it and now was crying while leaning against the wall next to the door.

The others must be home already.
It must be past 7 already.
They didn't even notice me disappearing.

That's what I thought and cried even more at the realization that stuck to my head:
I had to stay in here for the whole night.
Alone.

In the tiny space of the room where only the matts would be considered a type of bed.
It would be dark and thanks to my claustrophobia this night would be heller than hell.

Just great.
I cried more but calmed myself a bit.
The claustrophobia will get worse when I'll try to sleep so I have some time for now. My phone is still in my locker as well as my bag.
So I have to wait till tomorrow when they open the closet to get the supplies for training.

"Makki?"

My head shot up.
"Oikawa?"

My captain stood right in the doorway now crouching down to look at me.
"You got locked into the closed by Kindaichi." he said.

He will make fun of me for sure but I was too tired out to even care. So I just nodded and hung my head low, tears threatening to spill from my eyes once more.

"Hey, hey, it's okay. I found you, you will be out soon."

Huh? I didn't know he could sound so caring. I felt safety in his words so I looked up at him again, still teary eyed.

"Why aren't you... making fun of me?"
I said but my words didn't come out in a row because of a sob.

Oikawa smiled carefully and pulled me into a hug.
"Why would I? You would feel terrible if I did and so would I... I don't like seeing you so panicked. I was worried because you just vanished. Iwa-chan said, you would most possibly be home by now."

I was shocked. He had been worrying? About me?
For some reason I felt my face heating up. Lucky that he couldn't see my face but I snuggled into him even more.

He then chuckled.
"But you know me... I came back an hour later for extra practice."
I looked up, concerned. Oikawa always had done extra training but Iwaizumi had banned him from it because of his knee.

"Don't look at me like that", he laughed and wiped my tears, "I know, I am not allowed to do volleyball training. and extra training really hurts...", he cups my cheek, "but I can't really sleep much because of nightmares so I come here and do strength training."

He let go of me and sat down, facing me.
I kinda felt sad by the loss of warmth but restrained myself.
I looked at him.
"How did you know then that I was in here?"

He smiled again and this time it was bright and... cute.
"your locker was open a bit and the hold of your bag hung out of it. So I figured, you never left the gym and remembered you putting the supplies away. Kindaichi must have locked you in, unintentionally."

I smiled. He was really something.
I leant forward and hugged him once more.
"Thanks for finding me", I whispered.

He hugged back.
"No problem. I'm glad I came in time to not having your claustrophobia taking over"

I pulled back.
"You know?!" I was scared. This was always a sensitive topic of mine and my parents said, it wouldn't be real and that I was being pathetic, still being scared of something like that.

"I guessed it. ...And I heard your father speaking over the phone to someone in the mall... Sorry."
An apologetic smile found itself onto his lips and my heart skipped a beat.

"No no, it's okay. I'm just glad you don't think the same about it like my family..."
I looked to the ground. It really wasn't easy having your family call you pathetic.

"Uhm... They do?"
I nodded.
"But your dad said, they would have to find a solution for it because it is concerning them on how you are too scared to be left alone in the basement or an elevator and he sounded really worried...?"

My mouth opened and I blinked. They didn't think it was pathetic?

"He also said something about... documentation of claustrophobia and something about a doctor who was a friend of his or a colleague... Maybe that guy told him about it."

More tears flowed down my cheeks. I really was a crybaby tonight.
"I thought they think I'm weak and pathetic for having that fear." I sobbed and the brunette pulled me into his arms once more.

"They don't. I'm sure of it. Now, when you calm down, I'm taking you home. I can train tomorrow."

With that we hugged for a while and eventually got up, went to grab our things and got out of the gym.

Oikawa POV:

I'm glad that I found Makki.
I didn't tell him that I panicked a lot after seeing his back still in his locker.
The caring side from before is something I don't show often but it seemed right with Makki.

I locked the door and turned around to one of my best friends who was waiting for me in the freezing cold of the winter time in a brown coat, a yellow scarf and a beanie while breathing out, forming fogg.

As we started walking Makki started to speak.
"Hey, uhm..."

"Yeah?" I turned around to face him, continuing to walk.

"Thanks for helping me out and searching for me." he smiled, making my heart warm up at the sight.
I grin and sling an arm over his shoulder.
"No problem. Anything for my darling~"

He stopped dead in his tracks.
"D-Darling?!" his face going the shade of an overripe tomato.

I giggled and went to stand in front of him.
"Yup! By the way, you look cute when you get flustered" At the last part I smirked. Causing his face to go even redder.
"Didn't think your face could get more red" I laughed, "Be careful to not let it explode"
At this point I was cackling and wheezing even when he hit me on the chest lightly.

"Stop," he said, super embarrassed.
"Okay, okay. I'll stop" my laughter died down and I looked at Makki who was still red but smiling.

We continued on our way till I stopped.
I turned to Makki and leant forward. Standing on tiptoes (no idea if he is taller or Makki; just for the plot we say he is), I kissed him on the cheek.
Backing away I blushed a bit and Makki was deep red once again. It was really funny teasing him.

I grinned and walked backwards a few steps.
"That's my house. See you tomorrow, darling, and expect me to pick you up tomorrow."

With a wink I turned around and stepped up to my door, opening it and going inside.
Tomorrow would be fun~

Makki POV:

HOLY SHITAASHBSZSBFEWRHBV

I CAN'T BELIEVE HE JUST DID THAT?!
Kissing me out of nowhere?!

That's it! My heart has had too much of his cuteness and teasing for the day!
...I won't survive tomorrow ;-;
