Oikawa just hadn't been right these last few days. Iwaizumi noticed. It was hard not to notice the brunettes sudden change in behaviour since they lived together. But everytime Iwaizumi asked what was wrong, Oikawa just brushed him off saying he was tired. The raven believed it at first, he knew Oikawa was training so hard at the moment. But he soon realised it was more than that. He noticed the limp Oikawa tried so hard to hide. 

"I'm home!" He called as he entered the apartment after coming back from his part time job at a nearby cafe.

Normally Oikawa would yell 'Iwa-chan' and hug him. But these past few, he didn't do that. but Oikawa wasn't sitting on the couch like he had been lately. 

"Oikawa?" No response. Iwaizumi rushed to the bedroom they shared to find his taller boyfriend huddled in an oversized hoodie on the bed. Soft sobs filled the room.

"Toru? Tell me what's wrong." The raven demanded as he took off his shoes and sat on the bed next to Oikawa. 

"N-nothing." Oikawa responded, his voice hoarse. This made Iwaizumi huff out in annoyance. He knew something was wrong. 

"Yes there is! You've been so different these past few days. Something is obviously up and I'm just trying to help you!" Iwaizumi knew that as soon he as yelled he made a mistake, he saw his boyfriend flinch and cover himself more with the blanket.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have yelled. But I'm so fucking worried Oikawa." Iwaizumi sighed, his shoulders sagging. 

Without responding, the taller rolled over and pulled the blanket down. Revealing the support bandages around his knee. Iwaizumi's eyes widened.

"It's not what I think it is-"

"I collapsed at practice on Monday. I had to get checked out due to my previous knee injury. I was really scared Iwa-chan. I was scared what they were going to say. I had to go back to the hospital today and see a specialist. H-he said that my knee is too ruined to play anymore. It really gave out this time." Oikawa sobbed, tears rolling down his face. 

Iwaizumi pulled him into a tight hug. Oikawa cried into his shoulder.

"I'm so pathetic. I couldn't even take us to nationals in highschool. And now I can't even prove myself. I tried so fucking hard Iwa-chan. I really did. But it wasn't enough. I'm not enough. I'm not good enough. Maybe volleyball was just never really my thing."

Iwaizumi pushed Oikawa back and held his shoulders tightly, staring into his eyes.

"Shut up. Just shut the fuck up. You did try, I know that. Everyone back at Seijoh knew that. You are enough, you trained so hard you injured your knee, that's how much you love volleball. You never let that injury stop you before, you're not going to let it now! I graduate next month and then I'm officially a physiotherapist. I will make your knee good enough to play with again. You hear me? You will play enough, because you are enough. You are the best partner anyone could ask for, both in volleyball and personally. So stop doubting yourself. Because I love you." iwaizumi was out of breath from the inspirational speech he just gave.

Oikawa looked his awesome through his tears. But these tears were different. They were ones of hope. Love. Happiness. 

Not fear. Pain. Regret.

He had been so afraid and felt like a failure, but now he had a fire in his heart. He was going to back on the court. And it will all be thanks to Iwaizumi Hajime.
