Half an hour later the door opened, and Kageyama stumbled tiredly into the gym, heading for the bench. Seeing him awake, Keishin walks over to him. "You okay?" it's not like Kageyama would give him the actual answer. Yes, I'm fine.
"You still itchy?" It doesn't stop. The itching never stops. I want it to stop. "Come with me, I have some cream that should help." Kageyama stands up and heads outside, Ukai quickly follows after him.
"Can you hold your shirt up for me?" Kageyama does as he's asked and holds his shirt. Coach Ukai gently removes the bandage. It's not a pretty sight. The scars are bright red and inflamed, as well as bloody.
He unscrews the lid and scoops some onto his fingers, massaging the cool cream in well. "Is the itching going down?" Kageyama nods. "Let me know if it stings all right?"
"I don't care about the stinging. It's the itchiness I can't handle. It's as if it's right under my skin and no matter how hard I scratch, I can't seem to reach it. I'd rather it stings then itch, because if it's stinging, then that means it's not itchy anymore."
"I'm done with your back, what about your arm? Is your arm itchy too?" Tobio turns around so he's facing him, and takes off his sleeve, indicating that it's a yes.
Just as he's about to put the lid on, Kageyama takes the cream off of him and swipes some onto his fingers, then gives it back. Lifting his shorts up, exposing a different scar.
This one was different from the others, rather than having some kind of design, it's just three claw like marks, several inches long, an inch wide, and would have at least been half an inch deep.
"Are there any other scars you haven't told us about?" Tobio shrugs as he's putting his sleeve back on, then heading back in the gym, watching his teammates practice.
