What are the odds

25

Hinata wakes up to an annoying but steady beeping, a stark contrast to the sounds of the previous mornings. It takes him a moment to figure out where he was as his memories come back in flashes.

They were in the trees, then they heard voices, then they were back on the ground, and then it went black.

The curtain around his bed opens as a woman with short black hair and a white coat comes in. Upon noticing his alert state, she introduces herself but he completely misses her name, too occupied with trying to see who else was in the room and if they were okay.

"Hinata," she says drawing his attention to her finally. She gives him a kind smile. "We've got you attached to some monitors and we bandaged up most of your scratches but I'm sorry to say that a few of them will scar-"

"My friends, are they all okay? Narita, he- his wound was infected but it didn't look like any of his organs or anything was damaged but oh god what if I was wrong? what if they were and that's why it got worse and he's dead because of me? Oh god, I didn't mean to kill him, oh god, oh god," Hinata's short rambling starts off normally worried but quickly digresses shocking the doctor as she watches the small boy who likely saved the lives of many members of his team fall apart in front of them in fear.

The room around them which had previously been filled with the small sounds of some of his teammates went quiet.

"Hinata," Suga's soft voice manages to break through the guilt-induced trance-like state that the small boy had fallen into. The curtains open further allowing three of his teammates to slip into his area of the room near the doctor. "Hinata, shhh it's okay, Narita's in surgery, he's not dead, you did good kiddo," the eldest boy coos coming to stand at Hinata's side and brushing away the messy locks of orange hair from his forehead.

Hinata looks up at him and for a moment wonders if he'd actually fallen when he passed out and died. Sugawara Koushi was standing over him with the softest smile that somehow made you feel like everything was going to be okay. He looked like an angel, draped in a stark white hospital down with the bright light of the window behind him creating an ethereal like glow around him.

A soft touch to his hand snaps him out of his thoughts as he looks over to his other side finding Kageyama hesitantly putting his larger hand over the smaller boys. His eyebrows were furrowed, not in anger like the rest of the team was used to seeing but in something else. It took him a moment of staring deep into those blue eyes before he could figure out what the setters expression was showing. Worry.

With a sniffle, he startles only a little at Sugas hand brushing his wet cheeks and catching his fallen tears before leaning into the touch. He flips his hand under Kageyama's, lacing their fingers together tightly.

"Doc, could you please give us all an update on our friends?" Another voice says causing Hinata's attention to be drawn to the weight by his calves where Nishinoya sat, hair looking soft and fluffy where it fell around him instead of being spiked up.

The doctor clears her throat before giving the four boys a soft smile. She wasn't entirely sure how to handle the situation. If it was anyone else she'd be telling them to get back to their beds and that she couldn't disclose that kind of personal information but these young boys had been through so much and from the way they were huddled close together, she was almost afraid of what the effects of pulling them apart would be.

She chose her words carefully, trying her best to break as little of their confidentiality rules as she could.

"Sawamura Daichi is currently in surgery, he hit his head pretty hard and from what I'm told was out for a while so they're doing their best to make sure there won't be any long-lasting effects," Suga lets out a shuddering breath, not sure if that was good or bad, "Azumane Asahi just came out of x-ray, they were checking his shoulder that was dislocated, from what I'm told, it was put back in place remarkably well however the exertion of not resting it enough since has made it swell up, he will be in a fair amount of pain until it properly heals."
