Hallway, 2nd Floor

11:50 AM

Oikawa was the first to break the eerie silence.

"You okay? You seem kinda out of it.." He spoke, confused about the whole situation. He bent down to pick the box up, holding it out for the guy to take. 

The guy squared out his shoulders and slowly took the box from Oikawa, his expression blank. He looked at Oikawa and sighed.  

"I'm Iwaizumi. Iwaizumi Hajime. I'm alri-" Iwaizumi was cut off by Oikawa,

"WAIT, Y-YOU GO TO AOBA JOHSAI! YOU'RE THE WING SPIKER!" he yelled, receiving a nasty look from a nurse in the corner. He mouthed a 'sorry' to her with a cheeky but apologetic expression. Iwaizumi stood there, stunned.

"I- you do too huh? I never saw you at school" Iwaizumi questioned, his eyes curious, and panicked. 

"I joined this year, transfer student. I- I don't come to school often because of my medical condition, but it's not a big deal." Oikawa responded confidently with a smile. 

Iwaizumi stared at him. Oikawa suddenly felt conscious about his slightly greasy hair and ran his hand through it. 

"What's the condition?" he asked Oikawa, his eyes searching for something, anything.

Oikawa dropped his head and stared at his shoes, "Aren't you supposed to be visiting someone? I'm sure they'll be upset if you're late." 

There's no way I'm telling this guy..

"Well, I'm here to drop off these bagels to my sister, Yasu, she's a neurosurgeon in this hospital." Iwaizumi speaks, pulling his phone out to check the time. 

Oikawa's eyes instinctively look up at Iwaizumi upon hearing the word "neurosurgeon", but more so the name, "Yasu". 

Yasu?  Oikawa wondered,

Iwaizumi noticed the faint, almost nonexistent, sign of recognition in Oikawa's big brown eyes. That was all he needed. He couldn't fight his tears any longer.

"Well, see you around Tooru." Iwaizumi quickly waved at him and turned around, tears streaming down his face, silently. 

Oikawa, not noticing, also turned around and walked towards room 188, unable to understand what he was feeling. He looked back for one last time at the, now, empty hallway, a single thought resonating in his mind.

Why does his name sound so familiar, now that I've actually met him?
