broken

/adj/

(of a person) having given up all hope; despairing

The storage room had always been and would always be suffocating.

It was unused, which was probably why Kageyama had chosen to imprison you there. If the spiders spinning webs in the corners weren't bad enough, cockroaches had also made a home there.

You were forced to listen to students in the hallways, opening and closing lockers and talking amongst themselves. It was torture to have your friends so close but unable to say a word to them.

Close to your disappearance, you could even hear classmates gossiping about where you had gone. All you wanted was to say "I'm here! Help me!". But the gag in your mouth omitted all sounds.

The discussions about you lost their novelty and tapered off until you were no longer talked about at all. Everyone had forgotten your very existence. That realization was one of the things that broke you the most.

You felt your spirit slowly shatter the longer you stayed in the storage room. You had once been an optimistic, cheerful, outgoing person, but that was changing with time.

What did you have to be cheerful about? What kind of optimism could you have when hope was constantly dwindling? Kageyama was the only contact you had, and he only came by once or twice every weekday.

The weekends were the worst. You had nothing to eat, nothing to do, nothing to even overhear. It was a silent starvation for two straight days.

Each day blurred into the next, only broken by Kageyama's infrequent visits.

You felt like you were going insane.

In the beginning, you had fought against the restraints, but it only left your wrists and ankles raw and your will weakened. Escape was impossible. Grim acceptance of that eventually settled in.

You were left alone to your thoughts more often than not. You found yourself regretting everything having to do with your captor. Every conversation, every wave, every game that you watched... if only you had never interacted with him, would things be different?

Kageyama's visits were both dreaded and welcomed. You were given one meal every weekday. You devoured the food and downed the water bottle he brought like a woman starved. And, to be fair, you were.

But you dreaded the way he talked to you and touched you- stroking your hair and idly talking about how much he missed and loved you. The normally-stoic setter melted into a lovesick puppy, acting like this situation was normal when it was anything but.

You could feel yourself losing your mind, bit by bit. Having silent one-sided conversations with the spiders you shared your space with, playing word games in your head over and over, trying to insert yourself into the conversations you heard through the walls, trying to remember what your family looked like...

Sleep was already uncomfortable enough, sitting propped against the concrete wall like you were, but the nightmares made it much worse. You would wake in a cold sweat, gasping for air through the gag. However, the normal dreams offered you a respite that being awake did not, so you slept as often as you could.

You stunk so badly that you had become nose-blind to it long ago. With no way to shower, or even use the bathroom, you wondered how Kageyama could stand to be around you.

Today, you waited impatiently, stomach growling and aching from a weekend without sustenance. The door opened and Kageyama squeezed inside, a smile lighting up his features when he spotted you in your permanent spot.

The meal today was a burger and fries, the smell wafting over to you and making your mouth water. Kageyama undid the gag and the rope around your wrists. You seized the burger and stuffed it in your mouth, chowing down on it. It wouldn't be enough to sate your hunger, you knew that much, but it took the edge off.

"People were talking about you again today," Kageyama commented casually as you stuffed your face, "You were so popular that they can't help but remember you."

You ignored him, ignored that pang in your heart at his words.

"You don't smile anymore," Kageyama said softly.

You felt a rush of anger. What did you have to smile about, after what he'd done?

"Why do you think that is?" You snapped, your voice hoarse from such little use.

Kageyama looked stunned for a moment, before a soft smile spread across his face, "You spoke to me."

Oops. You had been giving him the silent treatment, but you couldn't have helped the sarcastic remark from slipping out.

His hand reached out to stroke your cheek and you cringed away from the action, glaring at him.

"It's okay," Kageyama reassured you, "I'll love you just the way you are."

You glared harder but he ignored you.

"I'll love you even if I break you."
