Comatose. (Haikyuu Fanfiction)

Chapter 6

(Kageyama's P.O.V)

Beep."It hurts!" Hinata yells, tears streaming down his cheeks. I tried to ask him what hurts but I couldn't talk. Beep. I was frozen, staring at Hinata's breaking figure. "Kageyama help, it hurts!" He yells as more tears stream down his face. Beep.

He reaches out for me and I try to reach out for him but something is holding me back. Beep.Hinata's nose begins to bleed.Beep. Let me help you. I want to help you. Beep.Why can't I help you!? Hinata's heart monitor rings out in a long beep.

I try to yell for help but no sound escapes my lips. Doctors rush in, but it's too late, he's gone. A phone ringing wakes me up from my nightmare. Asahi muffles apologies and walks out of the hospital's waiting room with his phone pressed to his ear. I take in a sharp intake of air, trying to still my racing heartbeat.

Everyone in the waiting room was sleeping. I check the time. 6:00. I stroll through the hallways of the hospital and I finally reach Hinata's room. I hesitate and then open the door and  walk into his room. Hinata was sitting up with tears streaming down his face.

He looks surprised and quickly wipes his cheeks. The only word he has said was: 1.hello 2.Kageyama 3.It hurts. And that's it. No other words. The only emotions he expressed is sadness and complete blankness. And he just switches between the two. "Hey, Hinata." I say. He just stares at me. "How are you doing?" I ask. He proceeds to stare at me with his sad eyes.

"Do you need anything?" I ask. Nothing. "Why do I even try with you? Am I crazy? I know you won't answer, but here I am trying to start a conversation with you. It's like talking to a fish. A fish, that I'm just waiting to hear back from, a fish that is my best friend, a fish that used to be the symbol of happiness, a-"

"I don't think you're crazy for trying to conversate with him, but I had my doubts when you started comparing him to a fish. " I twist my head around to see Dr.Moesashi at the door. He was the doctor that started with Hinata. "Dr.Moesashi, hello." I say bowing. "Hello Kageyama and Hinata, how are you two doing today?" Dr.Moesashi says as he closes the door behind him and pulls up a chair next to me. "He was crying when I walked in. " I tell Dr.Moesashi. "Kageyama, let me be honest with you, his progress isn't going as well as it should be."

My heart drops. " Huh?" Dr.Moesashi asks "How many words has he said? " I think for a few seconds. "Three." I say. "See and they were all muffled, unclear, and quiet. He hasn't smiled once. Hasn't laughed. Doesn't seem to understand commands- " I cut Dr.Moesashi off. "What do you mean, of course he understands commands."

Dr.Moesashi clicks his tongue. "Hinata, can you nod your head for me. " Hinata just sits there staring at the both of us. "Hinata, can you wiggle your fingers for me please?" I ask. He continues to stare. "Hinata, please?" I ask again. "Please!" I grip onto the side of Hinata's bed.

Dr.Moesashi clicks his tongue again. He pats my back and stands up. "Don't be too hard on Hinata, he can't help it." Dr.Moesashi says as he leaves. I nod, more to myself since Dr.Moesashi already left. I feel something on my clenched fist.

I look at my hand and see Hinata's shaking, thin finger, pressing lightly on my hand. He starts slowly tracing my hand with his finger. I look into his eyes as he concentrates on my hand. For some reason, I'm happy that he's acknowledging me. He's so skinny. I look over at the table next to him and there is a whole plate of food on the table. It looks like he didn't even touch it. The chopsticks are still bounded together.

"Why don't you eat?" I ask, expecting an answer I won't get. I sigh. A nurse walks into the room, "Ready for your bath Hinata?" She asks as she pulls a wheelchair over to Hinata's bed. The doctors told us that he would need a wheelchair until he regained his strength. I helped the nurse ease Hinata into the wheelchair. He was so light. He feels about the same weight as Natsu.

After the nurse wheels Hinata out, I walk back into the waiting room. Everyone was awake now. "He went to take a bath." I informed them. They all nodded. I take a seat next to Mrs.Hinata and Natsu. Natsu begins tugging my arm. "Let's go play with brother!" She begs. "We can't play with him right now." I say. "But, Mommy said he's awake now!" She says as she continues to tug at my arm. A nurse rushes out of the elevator and stoops down in front of Mrs.Hinata. "Your son just had a seizure, we were able to stabilize him and he's okay now." The nurse explains.

My heart drops. "Can I see him?" Mrs.Hinata asks. "Yes of course." She walks with Mrs.Hinata to the elevator,  Sugawara moves next to me. "What happened ?" he asks. "Hinata just had a seizure." I say, still in disbelief. After a few minutes an other nurse comes and tells us it's fine to go to see Hinata. We all rush to see if he was okay. Mrs.Hinata was holding a bloody cloth to his nose. Hinata's eyes looked even more lifeless than before. I could only feel sorry for him.

Mrs.Hinata gave the cloth to a nurse and continued to sit next to Hinata. She continuously brushed Hinata's hair back with her fingers. She started humming the song she would always hum when we used to visit him while he was in the coma.

Slowly, all of us started to hum the song along with her. I looked at Mrs.Hinata and tears were streaming down her face. I felt tears streaming down my face as well.  I look back at the rest of the team and they were crying as well. All of us trying to hold back our tears. That's when I heard it. I turned back around to Hinata and saw him smiling and humming to the song we just hummed....
