Worries and Relief

After Shouyou left their bus he broke for a run, his only goal was to look for a certain man. The man whom he likes, he run and run in panic, not even minding his fatigue.. all that he thinks of was that man, and where he is. Then he stopped when someone tapped his shoulder.. he turned around.

"Sir, are you looking for someone?" The nurse politely asked. Shouyou breathe deeply to calm his nerves.

"I'm looking for a man in highschool, I received a call.. saying he got into an a- accident." Shouyou stuttered.

"He got this brown hair and brown eyes, probably he's 18 or something but he got admitted here!" Shouyou yelled obviously concerned and confused.

"Don't worry.. I think the one you mentioned is the boy who got admitted a few minutes ago, he's not in danger.. he's only sleeping now." The nurse calmly stated making the younger boy sigh in relief.

"Thank Goodness... I thought.. that it might be worse.. but... Thank God for protecting him." Shouyou cried as he plopped down to the ground while shedding tears and gripping his shirt tightly making his knuckles whiten.

"Um... Whe- where is he?" Shouyou added after recollecting his self.

"I'll lead you there, please follow me." The nurse replied with a gentle smile.

The nurse pointed to one of the doors in the long silent hallway. Shouyou heard his loud heartbeats clearly and he took his steps and he approached the door. He breath in deeply before twisting the knob.

Sunlight passing through the window blinds, emphasizing the beautiful sleeping face of the older boy whose head is wrapped with bandages, noticeable scars in his face but it was not fatal. Shouyou could clearly witness that made him calm, the slow rising of the older boy's chest showing that he was breathing.. that he's alive that he was not in danger.

Shouyou ran to his side, finding himself seated on the chair near the hospital bed, he clasped the older boy's hand. To his surprise, it was strangely warm.. was it because he was in fact cold, from all the worries and anxiety he had in the bus ride that felt like centuries. Now he was slightly calm feeling as the warmth of those hands pass through his fingers, comforted him.

"Tooru, you big idiot... I told you to be careful when you're crossing the street, you dumb dumb what if... What if you.. died? What do you think would happen to me... Don't leave me, Tooru." Shouyou wailed like a child, tears streaming through his red swollen eyes, cold sweat dropping to his damp clothes.

"Um, I think he did it for a good cause." The nurse interrupted. Making Shouyou turn to her, attention averted.

"You see, an old lady was about to get hit by a car but it was a good thing that your friend rushed to shield the old lady. The old lady was also the one who called the ambulance and she also claimed to pay for the hospital expenses. She told us to thank this boy for saving her life, before leaving for some other matters." The nurse added.

"Is that so, that makes me proud of him.. but that was still dangerous." Shouyou sighed before smiling at the sleeping hero.

"I'll leave you two alone for now, please press the button if something were to happen. Take care." The nurse said before silently leaving the room.

Shouyou sat there quietly, observing the older boy breath, long eyelashes as well as those brown locks slightly move when blown by the gentle breeze from the slightly opened window.

Its really calming to see that you're fine. Sleep tight Tooru, I will stay by your side.. until you wake up and then I will tell you how I feel... It doesn't matter if its not mutual but this time I will be the one chasing for you... I will love you even if its one sided... I love you because you're you... It might be cheesy or too cliche but I will stay by your side and I won't hesitate... I like you... No, I love you, Oikawa Tooru the man who scent is like spring, whose eyes are brown, whose voice is manly and who is a big dork for aliens and a fanatic of milk bread. The strong and cool, yet slightly egoistical senpai who plays and loves volleyball. Shouyou declared to his self, truly proud and courageous.

After a few moments, he felt the older boy's fingers twitch and eyes slowly open. The older boy slightly groaned as he looked around the hospital slowly. He soon noticed, the tangerine sunshine boy close to him, whose lips are slightly parted from surprise and whose eyes are widely opened. He also noticed that his hand is clasped by the said boy.

"Good morning... No, good day Shouyou? Um where am I, is this heaven?" Tooru slightly joked hiding his nervousness by the sudden turn of events. All that he remembered was that he suddenly realized his feelings and that he run to go to Shouyou while constantly spamming the younger boy by calling him.. and that he saw an old woman about to be hit by a car then... He run? To protect the said old lady?... He also noticed that his head slightly hurts and when he touched his forehead it had a bandage wrapped on it.

"You got into an accident, you stupid!" Shouyou said while tears escaped his eyes.

"Oh, I see... Is the old lady, okay?" Tooru worriedly asked not minding his own self.

"Of course she is, she also thanked you and paid for the hospital... What about you, are you okay.. does it hurt?" Shouyou asked slowly reaching for the older boy's cheeks. Tooru calmed down from the hands of Shouyou that found its way to his cheeks.

"Yup, I'm okay.. a bit headache but I can manage... What about you?" Tooru asked placing his palms on Shouyou's shaking hands.

"I'm okay too... I got here because they said I was in your recent contacts... Why were you calling me in the first place.. sorry if I couldn't answer earlier." Shouyou apologized slightly bowing.

"Ah... That was because... I was... I wanted to see you." Tooru replied cheeks reddening. Shouyou withdraw his hands from the older boy's face and he placed it on his legs and then he took a deep breath.

"Before all that, I actually wanted to tell you something as well... Oikawa Tooru... I... I like you! Please go out with me." Shouyou yelled before covering his mouth and blush.

Tooru blinked once no... Twice... He pinched his cheeks... Nope he was not dreaming it was indeed reality... He gasped and he placed his hand on his mouth... He chuckled.

"Is something funny?" Shouyou nervously asked.

"Nope... I actually wanted to see you for the same reason." Tooru removed his hand and he smiled. Shouyou looked at him, eyes throwing questions with a matching eyebrow raise.

"I... I like you too, Shouyou.. and yes, I would like to go out with you as well... Please take care of me." Tooru bowed hiding his embarrassed face.

"Wha- WHAT?!" Shouyou yelled in surprise, earning a hush from outside of the room.

"Re- really?... Since when?" Shouyou asked.

"Before this mess... A bit late hehe... Iwa- chan made me realize... But I'm totally certain, I like you nope.. I love you... I don't know when but I fell in love with you too." Tooru claimed before placing a hand on Shouyou's cheek.

"Me too, I've only realized it on this day... A thing is clear to me that I love you too, Tooru." Shouyou nuzzled at Tooru's warm hand.

Tooru hugged Shouyou tightly before whispering to his ears. "I'm glad.. truly glad." He withdraw and he smiled. The younger boy smiled back before placing a peck at Tooru's cheek.

"I'm slightly tired Shouyou, wanna lay down here with me... The bed still got plenty of space." Tooru offered before scooting to the side of the bed and patting it.

Shouyou nodded and he found his way there. Strangely, he felt tired as well and sleepy. He hugged the older boy's waist before falling asleep. The older boy smiled at the cute figure who was embracing him, he wrapped his arm on the boy's shoulder before falling asleep himself.

They didn't notice that after a few minutes, the Aoba Johsai team made their way there, only to witness their Captain cuddling with their rival school member, they chuckled at the cute scene. The third year's took a few pictures so that they will have a new teasing material to their captain before leaving the two alone.
