Your Lie That Night (Iwaoi)

part 10 ~ iwaizumi

The sun rays hit me direct into my eyes when i woke up the next morning. Tooru was still asleep. He looked so cute in his sleep that i wanted to touch his cheeks but i decided not to interrupt his peaceful sleep. I succeeded in getting up without making any unnecessary movements that would wake him up. Once i did, i stretched and went outside to go update myself on tooru's health. Everything was normal. I sighed.

Yesterday felt so unreal. Every single moment of that day replayed in my mind 1989 times and i couldnt help but smile until my cheeks hurt.

Walking back to the room, i bumped into tooru's nurse and she askdd me to get him to eat breakfast right now and i returned to his room with his bland breakfast. It was a weird mix of food. As much as he couldnt move he wasnt able to chew either, so everyday i'd see him eat the same poridge. Of course he was reluctant but seeing me worry he'd just stop and eat without showing a single expression of disgust.

I walked in the room that smelled of medicines and disinfectants. He still hadnt woken up. I glanced at the clock and it read 12pm now. I called out to tooru to wake up for breakfast.

No response.

I leaned down and whispered his name in his ears.

No response.

He wasnt usually a deep sleeper so he must have been really exhausted from yesterday. But its 12 already and he needs to eat his breakfast for his energy. So i shook him, but when i did his arm that was resting on his stomach just fell loosely onto the bed.
I mean its normal if he's in deep sleep right?  A thought crossed my mind. But i shoved it out of my head the second it was conjured.

I moved towards his face and was going to shake his head to wake him up but the moment i touched him my head went blank. His cold stiff skin was all i felt.

Huh?

No! Its just his usual temperature. My senses arent working. Thats all it is. No need to worry.

My eyes fell onto his purple lips and i thought, its just how they've become after cancer, its okay its how he was these days. No need to worry.

I started to shake him then. Real hard.
"Oikawa! Oikawa! Oii stop playing! ....oh right! You want me to call you tooru ? I will! Hey tooru wake up. See! I called you tooru? Now wake up please? Please i beg yo-"

Iwaizumi fell to his knees and held onto oikawa's hand with all his strength. Tears flooded his eyes and he started to yell. Started to call endless insults he used to call oikawa.

"Why? Why did you l-leave  without a goodbye? Was i not even worth to that? No! Why did you even leave? You had no right to fucking leave me."
 His screams turned to something no one could understand. Yet he screamed till his voice cracked. He cried until he no more could. The nurses found iwaizumi collapsed onto the floor unconsious later that day.
