The Queen [Haikyuu!! Captains X Reader]

Chapter Sixteen

Kuroo threw his shirt off, feeling the water hit his legs and he jumped in, swimming to the spot he last saw you. He felt worried. Scared. He hopes you're okay. He hopes that luck is on his side for the day and the water finally reached to his neck. Kuroo noticed your board off to the side, but your figure is nowhere to be seen. Kuroo went underneath, holding his breath and his eyes widen, seeing your body just floating there. Kuroo swam over to your body, wrapping his arm around your waist and swimming to the surface. Kuroo ponders what made you freeze up and fall off your board. Did you see something that made you freeze up?

Kuroo let out a gasp of breath as he finally reached the surface, swimming to shore with you in his arms. Kuroo reached the shore, carrying your body bridal and he laid you on the ground, Bokuto running over. Kuroo put his head to your chest, hearing your heartbeat and Kuroo pulled away. "I don't know how to do CPR!!"

"What?!" Bokuto yelled, shooked that his best friend doesn't know simple CPR.

"What the hell do I do?" Kuroo yelled, panicking to himself and Bokuto pushed him away from your body. Bokuto opened your mouth, holding your nose and giving a blow onto your mouth. Bokuto pulled away, both his hands on your chest and giving you two hard, fast pushes. Kuroo watched Bokuto repeat this action again and when Bokuto pulled away, you let out a cough with water coming out your mouth.

"[Name]!" Bokuto and Kuroo shouted, Kuroo putting a hand on your back and helping you sit up.

"Are you okay?" Bokuto questioned, his eyebrows scrunched with worry and concern.

"Y-Yeah... Just flashbacks," you whispered, looking out into the ocean. You remember looking at your reflection while you were riding a wave, but once you looked into your own eyes, everything just hit you like a pile of bricks. You remember falling off the board and into the water, but the rest you can't recall.

"About what?" Kuroo inquired, tilting his head. You looked down, not wanting to respond to his question. Kuroo runs a hand through his wet hair that's falling in front of his face. "Well, I think it's time to head home." You nodded your head, Bokuto and Kuroo helping you off the sand. You don't want to tell them. You don't want to explain it and have the memory still inside your head. You don't want those thoughts invading your mind.

You went straight to the bedroom, leaving Bokuto and Kuroo in the living room. You sat down on Kuroo's bed, holding your head in your hands and your knees to your chest. You let the tears roll freely down your cheeks, the images of Ryusei raping you, Osamu's beatings, and the image of Riley's death keep invading your mind. You don't know what to do. You gripped your hair in your hands, letting out soft whimpers because you don't want to be heard. You want to be with yourself, but that's the problem. You don't want to turn to Bokuto and Kuroo to only have them worry about you. You wish that Riley would be right here next to you on the bed, him licking your face to reassure you, but he's not on this Earth anymore.

You let out a gasp, hearing someone knock on the door and you felt your heart stop a little. "Are you okay?" You heard Bokuto ask from behind the door. You wiped away your tears fast, not wanting to make it look like you were crying.

"Y-Yes!" You called out, cursing to yourself when you heard your own voice waver. You mentally screamed in your head, hearing the door open and Bokuto coming inside. He closed the door behind him, crossing his arms as he scared at you. "S-Sorry."

"Don't be sorry, [Name]," Bokuto stated, walking over to the bed. "I'll lend you my shoulder." You nodded your head, Bokuto sitting on Kuroo's bed with you. Bokuto slowly wrapped his arms around you, feeling you flinch in his arms and Bokuto scrunched his eyebrows. Ever so slowly, Bokuto felt your arms wrap around his neck hesitantly and he felt something wet hit his shoulder. "What's bothering you, [Name]?"

"I-I miss my dog Riley!" You sobbed, feeling Bokuto's arms tighten around you. "I had flashbacks! O-Of being r-r-raped!" Bokuto tightened his arms around you, rubbing your back and you cried harder. "I-I...!"

"Sssshhhh, [Name]. We'll make sure nothing bad happens to you," Bokuto said calmly, soothing your loud sobs. "Don't forget that you have us now and you're not alone. If you're suffering, don't suffer alone. If this happens at night, don't hesitate to wake me up and talk with me." You nodded your head, letting out soft whimpers while the tears continued to roll down your cheeks.

"T-Thank you," you whispered, closing your eyes. Bokuto smiled to himself, falling back on Kuroo's bed with you on his chest. You fell asleep, being in Bokuto's arms with his hands resting on your waist. Bokuto didn't dare to move, thinking that he might wake you up and that's the last thing he wants. Sadly, he's not in his bedroom, but his bro's and Bokuto knows that Kuroo will probably want his room or sleep in the living room.

Bokuto accidentally fell asleep too. He didn't expect to, but it happened and he doesn't mind. Kuroo opened the door to his bedroom, seeing you asleep on Bokuto's chest with Bokuto's arms around your waist. Kuroo smirked, crossing his arms and watching you and his bro. Kuroo chuckles, walking out the room and closing the door behind him. Kuroo laid on the couch, it's not the first time he's slept on the couch, but this time he will do it for the cute scene he had just witness.

Kuroo wants to know what happened back at the beach, but he decides to leave that for a different day. Or Kuroo could ask Bokuto, but he rather not do that and so Kuroo will just let time do its thing. Kuroo closes his eyes, falling asleep in the dark and letting the sleep take him. Neither him nor Bokuto saw this coming. Sure, they've known you for more than a week, but they haven't expected you to freeze up like that. They just have to remind themselves that you're frail and anything could break you.
