-I miss you-

[Iwaizumi's POV]

Our wedding; it was the happiest day of my life. I finally got to call him mine, "My Toru." I promised him two things on our wedding night.

One: "I promise that I'll protect you."

But when the truck appeared from the middle of nowhere that night, it's you who protected me.

Two: "I promise that we won't ever be apart."

But you're not here now, and I feel so very lost.

It's been two years since I married Toru Oikawa, it's been a week since the accident.  

Toru and I were at a karaoke place with Kuroo, Kenma, Bokuto, and Akaashi. Toru and I didn't drink, only Kuroo and Bokuto became drunk. So we waved goodbye to Kenma and Akaashi, each with their boyfriend's arm draped around their shoulder. 

Toru and I turned to walk home once the other four were out of sight. We lived in the opposite direction but we weren't that far away so we decided not to order a cab. Big mistake.

 "Hajime..." 

"Hmm?" I tore my gaze away from the clouds.

"When we get home, I have to talk to you about something okay?" He said nervously.

I gave his hand a comforting squeeze "Okay." I didn't read into it too much, Toru got nervous a lot, but you wouldn't know that just from looking at him. Toru radiated confidence not cowardice, but I'm getting off-topic.

We were crossing a road we had crossed hundreds of times before when it happened. There was no loud honking, just bright lights. "Hajime!!!" I felt something, or rather someone, hit me in the side. I fell backwards surprised and blinded by the bright white-yellow lights. I heard a sickening crunch and the squeal of tires against the road. It took a solid minute for me to finally catch what had happened. 

I struggled to stand, tripping over my own feet in the rush. I scrambled to his side "Toru!" I called helplessly. His eyes were closed.

Red.

Blood trickled down his face.

Red.

There was blood under my shoes.

Red.

Staining my pants as I knelt by his side.

Red.

I clutched his hand tightly, I didn't let go when the ambulance came, or when we arrived at the hospital.

Was I crying?

I don't know, I can't remember. I don't remember anything except the red, it looked like a murder scene.

I do remember the doctor walking out of the room, his lab coat not as white as it should be. I remember the look on his face, the apologetic, shameful look, he had when he said to me "Oikawa is asleep."

I knew that face, I was a doctor too. "But..." I pressed afraid of the answer

The doctor bit his lip "But we don't know if he'll wake up."

If not when.

I walked past the doctor into the room. The room was empty except for the bed in the center. I walked towards the bed. 

Oikawa was there, his eyes closed. Bandages ran over his forehead and his right arm was in a cast. The bed sheets were folded neatly under his arms, he looked..peaceful.

I sat in the chair by his side holding his hand. I raise his hand to my cheek "I won't forgive you if you die." I say.

I've visited Toru in the hospital everyday since the accident, each day I hope to see his eyes open and sparkling. I want to see his smile, I wanted to hear his voice.

"I miss you Toru." I said placing a quick kiss on his forehead.

It wasn't a matter of if, one day his eyes will open. And when they do I'll be the first person he sees.
