What are the odds

The first thing that enters his consciousness is light. The bright headlights of the bus illuminating the space around even through the heavy rain. The second was pain as Yamaguchi shifts and has to hold back a scream as an unimaginable pain shoots through his foot.

After a second of careful breathing through his nose, he opens his eyes to look around him. The windows all around had been shattered, The only evidence of their existence being the shards of glass impaling him and his teammates. He could see the way the bus had wrapped itself around the large tree causing the metal to curve in, almost close enough to press against his best friends lip arm. Carefully he tries to sit up.

"Tsukki?" He asks quietly, as if he could excuse the chance of him not getting a response as a result of being too quiet as opposed to the far more grim and terrifying alternative possibility. Thankfully, he gets a groan in response.

whimpering behind him draws his attention to his two classmates, the shorter being held tight to the tallers chest while Kageyama's hand covered the back of Hinata's head, wrist already swelling from his attempts to protect the other boy. He watches as they both pry their eyes open, breath held in anticipation.

"Kag'yama," Hinata groans pulling away. Half a second later his eyes go wide with realisation of what happened, another and they will with fear and dread. Not two seconds after that, Yamaguchi watches as the shorter boy frantically checks his friend for injuries, Kageyama halfheartedly trying to push him away.

With that reassurance, Yamaguchi turns his attention back to his best friend, resting a gentle hand on his shoulder. His eyes open slowly. "Tadashi? wha- are you okay?" He startles a little at the use of his given name, and more so when Tsukishima's hand comes up to gently caress the skin just above his eyebrow. His thumb comes away red.

"Noya?" The first years then hear Asahi's shakey fear-filled voice call out, "Tanaka? Hinata? can anyone here me?" He continues voice battling against the sound of the rain hitting the trees around them.

"Yeah Asahi, we can hear you! are Suga and Daichi there?" Yamaguchi calls back.

"I- I can see Daichi but not Suga, can you see the second years? and the other first years? are they okay?"

Yamaguchi watches Hinata climb out of Kageyama's lap and towards the back of the bus where the second years were as Asahi's fear-filled voice echoes through the bus.

"Hinata's checking on them, Kageyama and Tsukki are here and awake," He turns his attention back to his best friend. "Tsuki, can you move? are you hurt?"

"No, I'm- I'm okay," He replies despite clutching at his side and flinching with every breath. "You?"

"My foot but otherwise I'm fine," He says getting a worried nod in response. He turns to find Kageyama wincing as he tries to move from his seat.

"Kageyama-Kun, are you okay?" Yamaguchi asks next.

"Our bus just rolled off a fucking cliff, of course I'm not okay, none of this is okay!" Kageyama shouts, pain clear. It shocks Yamaguchi. The absence of Sugawara's scolding about the use of language is what shocks him the most. If the older boy had been conscious and anywhere near them, he would have heard and told him off immediately, regardless of the situation. Kageyama starts making his way to the front of the bus.

"Guys? we can't find Tanaka!" Ennoshita calls out from the back of the bus. His voice now more easy to hear as the rain starts to let up.

"Suga's missing too!" Kageyama calls back from the front. Yamaguchi feels his heart drop in his chest. He and Suga had gotten quite close in their time together on the bench, and Tanaka was his teammate, more than that, he was his friend too.
