fear.

a four-letter word, with the weight of millions of tears and screams.

but fear wasn't shown on oikawa's face.

he saw it in sakusa's eyes, he saw it in iwaizumi's whole body.

he heard it in his own cry.

disbelief.

a nine letter word, with an indescribable feeling behind it.

sure, there are synonyms. astonishment, shock, surprise.

disbelief was what ushijima wore on his face while his throat shredded from the guttural cry that left his body.

he wasn't even oikawa's trainer, rather his rival's trainer.

ushijima was confused. conflicted. unsure.

would he react the same for any other figure skater?

of course he would for sakusa, but he had seen others injured during performances and practices.

what was different about the prideful brunette?
