Kageyama walked into the dark apartment, setting his bag down at the door with a frown. The faint scent of cigarettes filled the room and there was a chill that prickled along his skin as he slipped off his coat, like a window was open. He knew that his boyfriend must be home, he should be off work now and though he might not seem like it to others, Oikawa was responsible. He would never leave the window open when he wasn't in the apartment.

"I'm home," he called out. "Did Bokuto and Kuroo come over? I can still smell the smoke."

Kneeling down, he untied his right shoe then his left before he heard the soft footfalls of someone approaching. Looking up from the ground, he saw Oikawa wearing sweats and a loose t-shirt. Though the light was dim, Kageyama could see the glimmer of tears in his boyfriend's sad eyes. When their eyes met Oikawa looked away and Kageyama could tell there was something he was trying to hide.

Furrowing his brows, Kageyama stood up. "Tōru?" he asked, reaching out for his hand to find his skin was cold to the touch before Oikawa pulled it away, folding his arms over his stomach as he looked away.

Kageyama watched Oikawa, concerned, and wondered what was on his mind. Everything had been fine this morning when Oikawa had left for work. He had given him a kiss goodbye and said that he would see him tonight, knowing with their conflicting schedules they wouldn't see each other until late that evening. But now, something just wasn't right.

"Tobio...I made a dumb mistake." He began to tremble as he held back a fresh wave of tears and his voice broke. "The cigarettes on the counter aren't from Kuroo and Bokuto... They are from Iwaizumi..." Kageyama looked up, surprised to hear him mention his friend's name, and watched, stunned, as he could feel the color draining from his face.

Time seemed to stand still in that moment as Kageyama took everything in. The guarded way that Oikawa held himself, the rumpled appearance of his hair and clothes. Iwaizumi was always friendly with Oikawa but it was nothing out of the ordinary and he had never spent time alone with him before, so why would he suddenly come to see him on a night that he knew Kageyama was working a double shift?

His heart raced and he felt like the breath was sucked out of him as Oikawa looked back up at him and the guilt and sadness on his face made his stomach feel like lead. "Why was Iwaizumi here..." But he didn't have to ask. They both knew what had happened, it was very clear.

"Tobio you have to listen, I didn't mean to. It just..."

"Just what?" Both of them were surprised with how calm his voice remained. Kageyama didn't yell, he didn't glare or throw anything, he just simply looked down at the man he loved, feeling empty inside.

"I'm so sorry." Oikawa put a hand over his face as his shoulders started shaking more. Kageyama wanted to feel bad, he wanted to comfort him and talk about what happened, but he couldn't. He couldn't handle any of this right now. So instead, he grabbed his jacket and walked back out the door, not bothering to tie his shoes back up as he walked down the hall, ignoring Oikawa calling out to him from the doorway.


Sitting at the table in Sugawara's living room, Kageyama held a beer in one hand and his phone in the other, staring down as he let yet another one of Oikawa's calls go to voicemail. He closed his eyes, and let his head fall back as another aching pain filled his chest at the memory of what had happened just a few hours ago.

He opened his eyes as he felt the cushion shift and Sugawara joined him on the couch. Watching Kageyama with a worried expression, he sighed. "Kageyama, I know you love him, but it's over."
