Never Forget

"Iwa-chan?" Oikawa called out to the ace with tears streaming down his face, pain and confusion was written all over, "is it true? Please tell me you aren't lying." The brunette held onto the boys jacket, the more it sank in, the more painful it felt.

It was like a dagger going through Oikawa's heart.

The ace, afraid of his emotions showing, kept in his tears and faced the crying boy. "I'm a fighter trashykawa," he hugged his best friend,

"I'll fight it."

Leukemia.

Iwazumi stared at the paper in front of him. His mind still trying to hold on to what was happening. He knew it was bad but is this how it was going to end? Looking back to he continued reading;

Refrain from any physical activity.

It had only been a week after their defeat at the Spring Tournament, eliminated in the semifinals, Iwazumi had received his blood tests back. His parents were always at his tail after patiently waiting for the results of his tests, knowing what would happen when they saw note and fear kicking in, he left his house and texted his best friend.

Oi, wanna grab a snack?

The spiky headed boy shoved his phone back into his pocket, letting his feet wander while his mind was else where.

What will happen to me when-

He shook the thought out of his head knowing that if would cause him more distress, still clueless of where his thoughts were, he began walking past the old playground, and remembered when Oikawa and him first met.

"Baka, what are you doing?" The seven year old shouted, "you're going to fall." The little spiky headed boy watched as the figure climbed up the tree. Holding his bug net, shaking his head to the foolish figure. "If you die I get to have your ball."

The brunette stuck his tongue out and laughed, "I won't die meany, now shush and let me concentrate."

"I need to get my ball,  and it's stuck real good," The brunette reached out to the ball, balancing himself on the branch, "T-trust me I got this-"

The branch snapped, in a split second the boy fell, he closed his eyes waiting for the impact, but instead caught something him.

"Baka! That was dangerous, you could've hurt yourself," the spiky headed boy helped him up and looked away, "next time just ask me to help you." The brunette stood amazed at him.

"M-my name is Oikawa Tooru!" The brunette jumped up and down excitedly, "what's your name?"

The spiky head boy looked away avoiding eye contact, "Iwazumi Hajime." Oikawa looked at him smiling, "okay Iwa-chan, let's be best friends okay?" He held out his hand smiling.

"Okay."

Iwazumi looked up at the sky with the memory replaying through his mind, he felt water run down his cheek,

Is it raining?

He felt his cheek become hot and more water ran down, wiping his face he felt defeated, lost, afraid;

It hurts so much.
