When Kageyama's eyes fluttered open, he was on someone's arms, and they were running.
"Oh god. How did this happen? FUCK!" Kageyama could tell that it was Oikawa who was carrying him. He didn't know where they were, but he knew that his head hurt awfully, and that he felt like passing out again.
Before Kageyama could even try to say something, everything went black again.
"KINDAICHI! CALL THE POLICE! NOW!" Oikawa yelled, as he ran towards their table, attracting a lot of attention in the bar. Kindaichi and Kunimi, who were just casually talking, both turned to look at him, and they wore surprised and serious expressions, as they saw an unconscious Kageyama on Tooru's arm.
Earlier, the four of them noticed Kageyama being gone for a bit too long, but they just ignored it, thinking he had some special business to get done there. But Oikawa couldn't shake the uneasy feeling off, as even more time passed.
He had noticed Kageyama constantly looking to the other table earlier, and ever since then, he knew something was off.
The other had brushed it off, but he had been wearing that expression he had whenever he was thinking about something really hard.
It was when they were all joking about a telephone prank call Yuutaro had pulled on Akira one specific night, when Oikawa abruptly stood up and made his way to the restrooms, totally ignoring the calls he got from his boyfriend. He needed to check if everything was alright. He knew that IF something had happened and he wasn't there to help, he would forever hate and blame himself for it.
When he arrived there, he tried opening the door, only to realize it was locked. He wanted to turn around again, and go back, when he heard some muffled noises from behind the door.
Okay, he thought. Maybe Kageyama was just pleasing himself? He was about to turn around and head back again, when he heard someone screaming for help. At first he thought he understood that wrong, but then there was another scream, right before someone got hit.
It was at this moment Oikawa knew that there was someone in need of help there. His stomach turned as he thought of the worst case scenarios.
As fast as his legs allowed him to, he ran back to their little table in the back.
"We have a problem. Please come. And bring something to pick a lock please." Oikawa calmly reported to Iwaizumi.
Iwaizumi looked at him for some seconds, before grabbing his keys, a hard bottle and some coins. Then he followed Oikawa.
This was one thing Oikawa loved about Iwaizumi. Hajime knew exactly when to ask questions, and when it was best to just act without questioning and overthinking.
Now was obviously not the time to ask questions. They couldn't waste any more time.
"We'll be back. Just a few minutes." Iwaizumi told Kindaichi and Kunimi, before turning around to follow Oikawa again.
Iwaizumi noticed how Oikawas hands were slightly shaking, and it was then when he got truly concerned. He didn't know what was going on. He just thought that he was supposed to be ready to leave when it mattered. He did notice Tobio being gone, but he didn't think too much of it.
"What's wrong, Tooru?", he asked, concerned. His brows wrinkled up, and he could feel his own heartbeat speeding up.
But he knew he needed to stay calm. For the sake of both of them.
"I- I think Tobs needs our help. I'm not sure but I think I heard him screaming for help. And there was a sound of a hit." Oikawa whispered, not being too sure. Iwaizumi could tell that Oikawa was unsure, but it was better to just make sure, wasn't it? He then proceeded to grab Oikawa's hand, and dragged him along faster.
Both of them soon arrived in front of the restrooms, and the first thing they did was listen sharply.
They pressed their bodies against the door, trying to hear if there was anything suspicious behind the door.
"Please! Please leave me alone!"
As soon as they heard that, they identified the voice as Tobio's. Both of them looked at each other, shocked, and Oikawa let out a terrified noise.
"Oh god... we need to help him!" Oikawa said, eyes looking glassy now. Oikawa could tell that his own hands were getting even more sweaty now and his heartbeat sped up so much, he thought Iwaizumi could hear it.
Iwaizumi didn't answer, but he only nodded, having a determined look on his face. Only his eyes gave away his worry.
Without any further ado, Iwaizumi inspected the lock, trying to figure out how to break it.
The screams on the other side were getting worse with each passing second, and it seemed like someone was getting beat up too. Iwaizumi started using the coins, when Oikawa suddenly ran off. Iwaizumi looked at him, but he didn't question it, still occupied with the lock.
Iwaizumi was so concentrated that he didn't notice Oikawa standing next to him again. With a baseball bat in his hands.
Iwaizumi looked Oikawa into the eyes shortly, but it was better if he hadn't. Tooru was wearing a countenance that screamed pure bloodlust. He had never once seen his cheery boyfriend this furious.
After some time, they managed to pick the lock. Iwaizumi looked at Oikawa again, and he took a deep breath.
"Okay, so we need to be fast. No time to lose. Just knock him out, and bring Tobio to safety. I'll tie him up, and keep him away, if necessary. Got it?" Iwaizumi had figured out a whole plan while he was trying to pick the lock, and Oikawa was thankful for that. If it went after him, he'd only think until the part where they knock the person out.
Oikawa shortly nodded. "One.... two....THREE!" On three they opened the door, and everything happened so fast after that.
Oikawa identified Kageyama sitting on the ground in a crouched down position, while there was a man hovering over him. He continued to strike Kageyama, and Oikawa only saw red.
As fast as he could, he swung the baseball bat, and hit the guys head. Because of the force, he hit Kageyama's head too, and he could only watch his boyfriend passing out. The stranger was laying on the ground with a bloody head, and Oikawa let go of the bat immediately. He rushed to scoop Tobio into his arms, and he got goosebumps when he got to inspect him a bit further.
Kageyama had a black eye, bloody lips and his trousers were opened. His stomach was exposed, and he could see some dark spots. They were probably internal bleedings. Not to mention that Oikawa knocked him out.
How did this happen, again? Oikawa couldn't explain how he felt at that specific moment. Iwaizumi was behind him, tying the delinquent up, and he had Tobio in his arms, trying to stay calm for the sake of both of them. He needed to get an ambulance to pick Tobio up.
He started running out of the bathroom, still having Kageyama on his arms, bridal style.
Oikawa knew that he was about to go insane. He had never once been in such a situation, and it was killing him.
"Oh god. How did this happen? FUCK!" he yelled out, although it didn't make anything better.
When he arrived at the front, he could tell that he was attracting a lot of attention, and it didn't take long for people to start whispering. But he couldn't care less. He made his way to their table as fast as he could before seeing both Kindaichi and Kunimi taking, while having no clue what was going on.
"KINDAICHI! CALL THE POLICE! NOW!" Oikawa thought it was best to act fast. And when he saw the guys looking at him worried, he returned the same look. He needed to get the urgency across.
Kindaichi kept staring, until he felt a push from Akira,which woke him up from his trance. Je slightly jolted, and fumbled for his phone. His fingers were shaking, as he had never been in such a situation.
"A-at it!" Kindaichi dialed 911 as fast as he could, and someone picked up after three rings.
"911, what's your emergency?" There was a friendly sounding voice on the other side of the line.
"Uh. My name is Kindaichi Yuutaro, and we need someone here as fast as possible. An ambulance too."
He was surprised at how calm and collected his own voice was.
"Sure sir, but where are you? And what is your emergency?" Oh man, he really forgot the most important parts.
But he didn't know what happened, so what was he supposed to say?
"We're at Braden's bar in Hollywood. In the area of the Woodstock Hotel. And uh..wait please." He handed the phone to Oikawa who was standing next to the table. He had put Tobio on a near bench to rest, and he was now impatiently chewing on his nails. Iwaizumi still hasn't come out of the bathroom, but maybe it was better that way. If the guy was to wake up, there'd be even more drama. It was best if he stayed with him.
Oikawa was so angry, but there was nothing he could do. Luckily this was their last day here in America. Although that didn't mean that Tobio was safe back in Japan.
He yanked the phone out of Yuutarou's hand, and immediately spoke to the person on the phone.
"Hello? My name is Oikawa Tooru, and there was a sexual assault here at the bar. My boyfriend got attacked and raped, and that's why we had to knock him out. My other boyfriend is keeping the fucking rapist company in the bathroom right now."
This was all they needed to know. Oikawa couldn't hide the detestation he felt for that piece of scum.
Oikawa could feel Akira tense up next to him, and Kindaichi let out a surprised noise. They hadn't expected this when they saw Tobio unconscious. Now that they looked at him, they could definitely see his bruised up face.
"Oh um okay. We'll be there as soon as possible. By the way, my name is Sugawara Koushi. We'll be there soon."
Oikawa hung up, as soon as he heard that. He blamed himself for knocking Tobio out, but there was way more important at the moment. For example that the bastard got locked up, and that his boyfriend got medical treatment.
"Um excuse me?" Oikawa turned around to see a guy with a bowl cut and kind of dark blue hair. "My name is Goshiki Tsutomu. Is everything alright here? We were worried since we heard the screams earlier."
Wasn't the fucking bastard part of this group? If he remembers correctly, he saw them sitting at a table together, and they were wearing the same purple training outfit like him. Just as if they were all part in some fraternity.
Oikawa narrowed his eyes, trying to figure out what that stranger could want, but he couldn't figure it out. Did he look like he had time for some random small talk?
That stranger could be glad he didn't punch him right then and there. Although he was a bit drunk, he still managed to keep his thoughts clear. The police was on their way and he didn't want to get into more trouble.
"Fuck off." He whispered, voice low.
"I'm sorry? I didn't quite get that." The guy gave Tooru a little smile. If the circumstances were different, maybe Tooru would've been nicer.
"I said FUCK OFF! Before I smack that bottle across your head! You better not test me!" Oikawa was so pissed. It was t even specifically the strangers fault. It was just all so much to handle.
The guy widened his eyes in surpirise, and soon there was another guy at his side, he had white hair which faded to grey at the ends. He looked really protective.
"Excuse me? I am asking you to refrain from using these words on my friend here." The guy wore an irritated look.
"Or what, huh? After all, it wasn't MY friend who raped my boyfriend over there! So you all BETTER FUCK OFF NOW! If not I don't take responsibility for whatever follows."
"Sorry? Who raped your boyfriend? Is he alright?" The guy with the bowl cut threw a glance at Tobio, and his eyes held real worry now.
"That bastard with spiky red hair? Know him? Yeah. HE FUCKING RAPED MY BOYFRIEND AND HARRASED HIM!"
The strangers across him looked at Tooru with a regretful, hurt and embarrassed expression. It seemed like realization kicked in and they suddenly didn't know what to do. They had seen how the unconscious guy looked and to know that their friend Tendou did such a thing, made them feel embarrassed.
The worst part was: they couldn't deny it, because they knew that it was likely for Satori to do such a thing. At least when he was drunk. But it was still unbelievable.
"Satori...? He did what...?" Goshiki finally got out. He couldn't believe it. No, he didn't want to believe it.
"Satori? That's that bastards name? Well either way, I'm not sure if he knew who he was playing with. My name is Oikawa Tooru, CEO of Beautycorp, a very famous fashion company in Japan. I have just aired a collection with Normada here. I'm sure my lawyer would be thrilled to come in action again." Oikawa's eyes were as cold as ice.
"I- I. I- I'm so sorry. I know sorry won't cut it, and you gotta to do what you have to do. I don't blame you. In fact I understand you. Again, I'm indescribably sorry." The guy with the bowl cut seemed sincere, but what had happened, happened and with every action, there are consequences.
Oikawa scoffed and turned around, while the other two boys went back to their table, where the other friends of them were.
The others didn't know what happened, therefore they looked in curiosity.
Oikawa didn't have time to sit back down though, because he heard the ambulance sirens. His heart jumped. At least Tobio would get treatment now.
He went back to where Tobio was laying, and scooped him up, bridal style. As fast as his legs allowed him to, he carried Tobio to the entrance.
Soon, there were three people in the bar. They approached Oikawa, and took Tobio along on a stretcher.
On the other hand, people were hurrying out of the bar, as they mistook the hospital workers for police officers.
Must've been the alcohol.
Oikawa knew he couldn't go with Tobio, so he allowed Akira and Yuutarou to follow him in the vehicle. At least Tobio had a little bit of company then. Once the ambulance including Kunimi and Yuutarou was gone, it was just him in the bar.
Of course there were some people scattered over the place, but they were too occupied with their drinks to notice what was happening. Only the table with the guys from earlier were looking into his direction.
Oikawa dropped to his knees, when the adrenaline finally left his body. His limbs hurt like he had been rolled over by a truck, and he felt his head spinning. He had dried blood on his hands from Tobio, and also his shirt was ruined.
His heart was beating rapidly, as he tried to catch his breath. Why the heck did that have to happen to Tobio? Especially now, when their relationship was better than ever before. He knew it would leave permanent scars on Tobio. Kageyama didn't deserve this at all.
Tooru wasn't ready for this conversation. He was sure he wouldn't be able to help Tobio. He could get the r*pist behind bars, but that wouldn't make anything better. The damage had been done. He just had to show tobio that he was there for him. No matter what. Where was Iwaizumi? Was he still in the bathroom? Lucky him. He didn't have to deal with all the shit.
"Sir? Is there a problem?" A deep voice from behind asked, and Oikawa immediately stood up. He turned around and wiped the tears off his face, as he looked into the faces of two police officers.
"No! I'm fine! Ah, my name is Oikawa Tooru. The one on the phone." Oikawa smiled a little, but it wasn't sincere. It didn't reach his eyes.
The one guy, he had grey hair, brown eyes and a mole under his eye, looked at Tooru with a pitiful face. The other guy though, kept his poker face.
"Okay then. Hello mister Oikawa. My name is Sawamura Daichi. I'm gonna be the head officer in this case alongside my partner Sugawara Koushi. Would you please lead us to the delinquent."
"Yes sure. Please follow me." Oikawa turned around again, and made his way to the bathrooms again.
As much as he didn't want to go there, he knew he had to. For Justice. If it wasn't for the justice, then it was for Tobio.
And he knew he'd do anything for him.
"Please tell us what happened, sir. We need the exact events for our report.", the guy named Sugawara said.
Oikawa looked at him, before taking a deep breath. He found it hard to talk about the story.
"So we were just drinking alcohol with our friends at the table in the back, right? We wanted to celebrate our successful vacay here. I noticed my boyfriend continuously staring at a table behind ours, and he had that confused look. It was as if he was being watched by someone."
"Did he tell you? Did he say that he had an uneasy feeling?" The guy interfered.
"Uhm, no. But I did ask him though. He just shook it off but I could see it on his face. He looked confused and uncomfortable.
Well, anyways- we just kept on celebrating and it wasn't until good two hours later, when he said he had to use the restroom. We had all forgotten everything by then. Not to mention that we were a little bit drunk.
When Tobio was gone, time passed. Too much time in fact. I kept on asking my other friends and my boyfriend about that, but they just shook it off. But I couldn't get rid of that feeling. The feeling you have when you know that something bad is gonna happen. So I went to check." He shrugged.
By now the three of them had stopped walking, and were listening to the story while taking notes.
"So you left without telling the others? Did I get that right?" The grey haired male asked. Oikawa cocked an eyebrow. What did that have to do with anything? That wasn't even his point.
"Yeah? Is that a problem?" He couldn't help but show the bold side in him. There was way more important stuff now.
"No no. Not at all. Just wanted to get my facts straight." The guy gave Tooru a bright smile, while the other one looked rather serious and cold. Oikawa couldn't help but let out a little chuckle when he realized they were playing good and bad cop with him.
"Uh either way I then went to eavesdrop at the door. I was about to leave when I heard some weird noises coming from that door. I listened a bit longer, and I soon realized it was my Tobio-Chan. I went back to Iwaizumi, and told him about everything I had heard. We then grabbed some stuff, and went back to the door to break it open."
"What stuff?"
Oikawa rolled his eyes. "Stuff. Bottles, coins, keys and a baseball bat."
"Why did you bring so many things? You could've been wrong, right?"
"Yeah but I wasn't. And it is better to bring too much than not enough, right?"
"Fair enough. Continue, please."
"Where was I? Oh right. So when we arrived, we heard Tobio-Chan screaming for the person to stop, but they didn't. The door was locked, so we had to pick the lock. We then proceeded to open the door, and the first thing I did was smack the guys head with the baseball bat. I somehow ended up hitting Tobs too, so he passed out. For that I am really sorry."
"The guy didn't notice you guys coming in?"
Oikawa scoffed. "No. He was too busy trying to hurt my little angel. And we were really quiet."
"Okay. So Uh where's the man now?"
"Oh! Iwa-chan tied him up and has been keeping him company ever since!"
"Okay then, please lead us to him."
Oikawa nodded his head, and made his way back to the bathroom. He just hoped Tobio was alright. He did tell Kindaichi and Kunimi to call him if there were news on his condition, so he was patiently waiting for his phone to ring.
They were now in front of the bathroom door, and Oikawa slowly opened it. He was scared of what was behind the door.
"YOU MAKE ME SICK! YOU PIECE OF TRASH!" Iwaizumi was crouched down and had a furious look on his face. His fists were bloody, and you could see him pant heavily.
Across from Iwaizumi there sat Tendou, hands tied behind his back, leaning onto the wall. He had bloody lips, and he looked messed up, but he still wore a cocky grin on his face.
"Angry because I'm not sorry? Well, let me tell you something." Tendou leaned in a bit. "His cute little moans turned me on SO much. I'd do the same again if I had the chance to."
Iwaizumi saw red. He wasn't the one to lose his temper quickly, but he had never once experienced something like this. He felt the anger take over in him. He was ready to kill that bastard right here.
"FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU!" he was just about to beat up the man in front of him, and he would've made some serious damage, if it wasn't for Oikawa, who held him back.
"Iwa-Chan! Calm down! Please!" Oikawa tightened his grip around Hajimes shoulders as he felt the other struggle to break free. Hajime wasn't done with the scum bag in front of him. He wanted to give him a piece of his mind.
Soon, the police officers hurried over, and Daichi helped Tendou get up, while Sugawara crouched down to the height of a sitting Iwaizumi. Koushi gave him his nicest smile and radiated off calming energy.
It was surprising how Sugawara was literally made for his job. He was so good at calming down others and giving them company when needed, but he also had that fiery gaze that told you not to mess with him or people he was close to.
Suga placed a hand on Iwaizumi's thigh, and Iwaizumi felt himself immediately relax.
"Hello there. My name is Sugawara Koushi. What's yours?" It didn't matter that he talked to Hajime as if he was a child. It helped. "I'm Iwaizumi Hajime. Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too, Iwaizumi! So, my colleague here is gonna take away the suspect, and we will unfortunately have to take you guys with us, back to the district. There we have to match your statement with your boyfriends one. Okay?"
Daichi, was occupied with carrying Tendou, who was not light by any means.
Iwaizumi nodded, and got up with the help of Oikawa. The three of them then made their way back to the front.
They were about to leave, because everything had been said, but they were held up.
They were approached by the group of Satori's friends, lead from the bowl cut guy.
"Hi, uh we are the friends of the guy that just got transported away. We don't know if we can help, since we didn't see anything, but we are ready to give our statements in favor of the victim. We saw him, and the boy looked pretty bruised up."
"No shit.", Oikawa mumbled. Goshiki heard that, but continued either way.
"It was really wrong of our friend, and there is no excuse for such behavior. Please give him the right punishment."
They all had looks of regret and embarrassment on their faces as Goshiki spoke for all of them.
(Can you tell that Goshiki is my fav Shiratorizawa character? Probably yes 😅😬)
Suga gave them his signature grin. "No problem at all! But I'll have to get a number from one of y'all, so that I can contact you guys if needed." They all nodded, and Goshiki went up to give out his number to the police officer in front of him.
Oikawa grew impatient the more time that passed. He wanted to get this done with quickly, so he could go and see his Tobio-Chan.
Finally they were all finished with whatever they were doing, and they made their way to the police department. Oikawa and Iwaizumi drove with the driver, while Daichi and Sugawara went ahead in the police car.
The ride took a bit more than ten minutes, although the streets were pretty empty at such a time of the day. The only good thing was that the hospital was just in reach.
Iwaizumi kept his answers short.
Not because he had something to hide, but because nothing much happened from his point of view. He only followed Oikawa, picked the lock, and accompanied Tendou. That was it. However, when the police officers asked what the both of them talked about in the bathroom, Iwaizumi had to think before he answered. He always put at least a little bit of thought into what he said, considering the others emotions.
"I think it is understandable that I got mad when he told me he didn't regret r*ping my boyfriend. I am not sure if he said that because he was drunk, but he looked at me with such a cocky attitude, that made me really furious. But still. I don't think it defends the punch that I gave him. Whatever consequences there are for that behavior of mine, I'll accept them. I had that in mind when I acted."
"Iwa-Chan! What the heck are you talking about? It was good that you gave him a piece of your mind! That bastard deserved it!" Oikawa gasped in disbelief. He couldn't understand how Iwaizumi was still sorry for his behavior. If anything, That Tendou guy should've been happy he got away with only his lips burst open.
Iwaizumi's eyes though, they told him to immediately shut up. And that was when Oikawa understood that his boyfriend was trying to save time. If he admitted to everything they wanted to hear, they would be able to go see Tobio earlier.
He nodded, and turned back around to face the police officers.
"That is very thoughtful of you, sir. However, given the circumstances I don't think there'll be any consequences to your actions. We just have to know if you guys want to press charges against him. After that you guys are free to go."
Sugawara looked at them with a curious gaze.
Oikawa turned to look at his boyfriend, who was also already looking at him.
Sugawara's eyes were lighting up in interest, when he understood that the two men in front of him were having a whole conversation without actually saying something.
Iwaizumi could tell that Oikawa wanted to press charges against the guy immediately, but he tried to tell him that this wasn't about him. Even if they both felt like this was the right thing to do, they needed to talk to Tobio first. He was the one who was supposed to make this decision.
Oikawa didn't accept that at first. He knew that this was best for Tobio. This way there would be at least a little bit of revenge. And with Tobio resuming school in only three days, there really wasn't too much time left to debate on this stuff.
But after Iwaizumi continued to pressure him with gazes as cold as ice, he finally gave in.
Iwaizumi could see the exact moment when Tooru gave in. He smiled a little, and they both turned back around.
"So we thought about it and we came to the conclusion that this is not our decision to make. We want to talk to our boyfriend first, before we decide on something he wouldn't want. Is that an option?"
Sugawara let out a little light laugh, while he was keeping his fingers busy with a pen.
"Of course! This was very entertaining to watch. But if that is the decision, then we are done here. The person at the reception will go through the details with you guys again, and that should be it.
It was nice working with you guys. You seem like interesting people." Sugawara's eyes had that sparkle, from which you could tell that he was seriously enjoying his job.
"The pleasure was all ours!" Oikawa grinned with a cocky grin, while Iwaizumi was about to hit him. He always found a way to ruin things.
They waved goodbye, and went to the reception. There, the receptionist asked for their numbers and email, so that they could stay in touch. It didn't take five minutes. They were out fast.
Oikawa opened the door as they stepped out of the department, and took a deep breath as the cold night breeze hit his face.
It was calming his thoughts. And it was cooling off his body temperature, which was probably really high now with all that had happened.
Now they were awaiting the best and the worst part at the same time: Talking to Kageyama.
They didn't know how to handle the situation, and they cursed themselves for it. They just had to support him in every way possible. Iwaizumi took Oikawa's hand into his own, and they made their way towards the hospital.
It was luckily just across the street, so they didn't have to call for a driver again. Their driver was still in the car at the police parking lot, waiting for them to come back.
The hospital was huge. It had at least fifteen stories, and behind every window there was a light burning.
They went up to the entrance. Both of them would never admit it, but their hearts raced so fast, they were afraid the other could hear it.
"Hi! We are Oikawa Tooru and Iwaizumi Hajime. Our boyfriend was brought here some time ago, his name is Kageyama Tobio. How is he doing? Where is his room?"
"Ah hello! Yes, he is here. But I can merely give you guys his room number. If you want information on his condition, you have to talk to the doctor. We receptionists aren't-"
"YEAH! Whatever. What is is room number?" Oikawa could feel Iwaizumi's glare on him. "Please?" He added, flashing the receptionist a shaky grin. He knew it didn't really bother Hajime, as Tobio was the most important now.
"Uh, it's 472 on the eight floor, I am not sure abou-"
"Thanks! See you later!" Oikawa dashed into the direction of the elevators, and Iwaizumi followed him, although not so fast.
"Kusokawa! That was hella rude!"
"Sorry Iwa-Chan! I'm in a hurry right now!"
"Yeah no shit. So am I! But remember your manners you dumb fuck!"
Oikawa didn't reply. He rolled his eyes and entered the elevator. It took them approximately two minutes to get to the eight floor, due to how slow these things were. Oikawa was getting more nervous each second that passed.
He kept on tapping his foot on the ground.
"Oh my god! How slow are these stupid elevators? What If someone dies? Are they gonna use this and be as slow as a snail?"
"Cut the crap Kusokawa. He's not dying. He's doing just fine."
"But Iwa-Chan!"
"No, Tooru. We need to be strong now. For him. We can't let him know we're nervous. We need to support him. Got it?"
Oikawa didn't answer, but his silence was answer enough. He knew that. There was no need for him to answer.
They soon arrived on the eight floor and searched for room 472. After some minutes of searching, they saw Kunimi and Kindaichi sitting in chairs in front of a room, and that's when they knew that they had found it.
Kindaichi was absentmindedly tapping his leg, while Kunimi sat in his chair a little bit too straight. Both of them didn't notice Oikawa and Iwaizumi approaching them, and it wasn't until Oikawa waved his hand in front of Akira's face, the guy snapped out of his gaze.
"And? How's things? Did the doctor say anything?", Oikawa asked while fiddling with his fingers.
"Not yet. They said he was unconscious and that they had to check up on him. That was when we first arrived. They haven't come out ever since." Kindaichi said, still looking onto the floor.
Oikawa immediately turned around, and started banging his fist on the door.
"Let me in! What is happening there? How is my Tobio?" Iwaizumi yanked his hand away, slowly growing impatient with his boyfriend. He was worried too, but there were certain times when it was better to just wait.
"Shut up! Fuck, can't you control yourself?"
Iwaizumi was angry. Oikawa was just so childish sometimes.
No one said anything after that. They all took their seats and waited patiently. After two hours that were spent with sweaty palms and racing heartbeats, Kindaichi and Kunimi had to go. It was already almost two am, and the both of them had classes later that day. They made the two there promise them to update them though.
It was even more quiet after that. You could hear the clock ticking somewhere in the back, and their own breaths were audible as well. Why was the hospital so damn empty? Well, of course it was two am but there must've been some nurses and doctors walking around, right?
When the door finally opened, the noise was so loud, they both felt like their eardrums were about to burst.
Their heads shot up in an inhuman speed, and their eyes were wide when they saw the doctor coming out.
The both of them stood up, nervous.
"What's new? How he doing?"
"Hello! My name is Doctor brown and I was in charge of Kageyama Tobio's treatment. The boy suffered from a light brain concussion, and he has several internal bleedings. The ones on his stomach being a bit more extreme than the others. Other than that he is totally fine. There are some bruises, but that's nothing that shouldn't heal in a few weeks. The boy is awake now, and he is free to go."
Iwaizumi nodded understandingly, and Oikawa bit his nails, while comprehending what the doctor had said.
Wait- Tobio was awake? He needed to see him! But... did Tobio want to see them?
"Kageyama told me to tell you guys that he'll be out soon. He doesn't want you guys to come in."
Oikawas heart dropped. So did Iwaizumi's. But they respected the others decision. They knew what they had to do now. Support Tobio physically and mentally.
They thanked the doc before he went away, and now all they had to do was wait for Tobio.
The said boy came out exactly three minutes after. Oikawa had counted the seconds. When he finally stood in front of them, Oikawa swelled up with all different kinds of emotions. He was relieved to see his boyfriend alive. He felt pity when he saw all the bruises and marks. He was horrified when he saw the bandages around his head. He was angry thinking about who hurt him.
But all of that was forgotten when he saw Tobio's little wonky smile. He was feeling so much love and affection towards the guy in front of him, he felt like he had to cry.
But not now. He had to stay strong for Tobio's sake.
One glance to Iwaizumi told him that he felt the same.
Tobio took a step forward, but stopped right after that step. The guy didn't know how to react. He didn't know if his boyfriends were disgusted by him now, but them being there meant that they still at least cared a little bit for him, right?
The silence was getting uncomfortable as the three of them just stood there, looking at each other. Who was supposed to make the first move?
'This is bullshit', Oikawa thought, and he went forward to grab Kageyama's hand. They should be there for him in moments like this. They shouldn't wait for him to give signs if he was comfortable or not. Sometimes they just had to let their actions speak.
Kageyama's grip tightened around Tooru's hand, and one could visibly see his shoulders relax.
Iwaizumi then took the other hand, and soon Kageyama found himself in his most favorite position. Between his two boyfriends.
The way back to the driver was silent. No one talked, but it was better that way.
That way they could all enjoy each other's presences and the mood wasn't ruined by any comments.
Kageyama felt the warmth that was radiating from his two boyfriends, and he knew he was home. Home was wherever the three of them were.
The ride back to the hotel was silent too. No one talked, but it was good that way.
Faint music could be heard from the front, and it was slackening. It matched the mood just perfectly.
The three of them hadn't let go of each other's hands ever since, and they didn't intend to. It was just perfect like that.
They arrived back in the hotel and a glance to the clock could tell them that it was already to three in the morning.
Once they were in their apartment, Tobio headed straight towards the shower. He needed this right now. More than anything.
Oikawa left the messages for Akira and Yuutarou, just as he promised. Iwaizumi and him got ready for bed, and decided to just wait for Tobio.
However, said boy did not come out. Not after fifteen minutes and not after half an hour.
You see, Kageyama was not the type of person to shower for a long time. Ten minutes were sufficient for his daily wash up, and whenever he bathed it took him half an hour. Highest.
Oikawa tiptoed out of the room, wanting to get his boyfriend to hurry up with whatever he was doing.
When he heard a choked sob though, his eyes were alert. Was Tobio crying?
He gently opened the door, which hadn't been locked, and was surprised to meet a naked Kageyama sitting in the shower, his head on his knees.
The water was still running, and Kageyama was shivering. If you took a closer look, you could see how Tobio's skin was really red at some places. It was as if he had rubbed them open with force.
Oikawa rushed to him, and immediately turned off the water. It was cold. He took a towel and placed it over Kageyama's body.
"Hey sweetie, can you get up?" Oikawa had never once in his life talked this soft to anyone. Not even to his nephew Takeru.
The look Kageyama's eyes held when the other looked up at him, was almost enough to make Oikawa cry.
The younger had wet eyes. They were glistening with tears, however the spark in them was gone. These eyes held so much pain. So much pain they didn't deserve.
"Oikawa. I- I feel so damn dirty. And the dirt won't go off. No matter how hard I scrub. What am I supposed to do?"
Kageyama whispered the last sentence before bursting out in tears again.
"Shhhh. Shhh. Let it all out, love. It's alright. It's gonna be alright. I promise." And Oikawa was keen to hold this promise.
Even if it meant that he had to buy the world.
Five minutes passed, before Kageyama had relaxed a little bit. He looked tired, but he knew he wouldn't be able to sleep. Not if there was so much going on in his mind.
Tooru helped Tobio to stand up, and he dried him off properly. The younger was visibly trembling, and Oikawa could now see a lot of dark red patches on his skin. He brought some warm pajamas, which Tobio put on.
Something told Tooru that the other would need as much warmth as possible.
The two of them were back in the room. Iwaizumi wasn't asleep. Instead he sat up in his bed when the two of them came in.
He sighed in relief as he saw that they were all good. Kageyama had stopped trembling like crazy, and Oikawa had one of his large palms on Tobio's back, soothing him.
Iwaizumi patted the side next to him, inviting them to take a seat or lie down. They knew they needed to talk about this now.
They all had so much to say. They wanted to make sure the others were alright.
Once they were all seated, Tobio being in the middle again, there was a silence hovering over them.
"Tobs. How are you feeling....? I know given the circumstances it can't be too good, but..." Iwaizumi started off. Tobio was shuffling with his feet in discomfort, while thinking about how to answer.
"I-....I feel dirty. I already told Oikawa-San, but I just can't get the dirt off. It's- it's disgusting. I'M disgusting. I am so ashamed of myself and disappointed. I can understand if we break up now." He turned his gaze to the blanket, so the others wouldn't see the tears in his eyes.
"What..? Why would we break up with you?", Tooru asked, confused.
"He- He... He managed to please me and I came, while moaning. I moaned even though he was touching me without consent! I didn't want it, but he didn't listen- and I- I- I'm so disappointed." He let out a choked sob.
"Hey hey, it's not your fault, okay?" Tooru nudged closer, and wrapped his arms around Tobio.
"Yes. Yes it is! If I- if only I had been stronger, that would've never happened! If I told you about my suspicions it wouldn't have happened! It is MY FUCKING FAULT!" Tears were spilling over, as the boy poured out his thoughts.
"Shhhhh. We're here for you, Tobio. Let it all out." Iwaizumi was also hugging him now, while the younger boy rocked back and forth.
"Please- don't touch me. I don't want you to touch me like that. Not when I'm this- this filthy. I just- I'm so sorry! I won't be able to ever forgive myself for the betrayal, and I don't expect it from you guys."
"Don't. Don't EVER assume that we are mad at you. Especially not for something you have no fault for. Fuck, Tobs. I- I'm angry at myself! That this had to happen to you. That I wasn't there to prevent this from happening. What kind of boyfriend am I?"
Oikawa let out his thoughts too.
"I don't blame you. How were you supposed to know? Supposed to know that a weirdo was touching me inappropriately and my body was enjoying it? Supposed to know that I am a dirty slut? I- I can't do this! I feel so dirty! I can't even look at me the same anymore!"
Oikawa would've interrupted at the point where the younger called himself a slut, but he had a feeling that it was best to let him talk. It broke his heart to know that Tobio thought about himself like that.
Oikawa gently pushed Tobio back, so he was laying on the bed now. He exchanged a glance with Hajime, and they both nodded, understanding each other.
Sometimes reading the others though was really helpful.
Tobio looked at the others, his eyes holding a little bit of panic in them. He didn't want it, but the pictures of the events from earlier came up again. He knew his boyfriends were nothing like that, and they would stop if he wanted them to, but he couldn't do anything against the panic that rushed through his body.
"Relax, Tobio. We want you to know that you are beautiful. Don't think that low about yourself. What happened today was nowhere near your fault. You're a beautiful human being. Nothing could ever make us stop loving you."
Iwaizumi's voice was soothing, and Tobio felt a pleasant shiver run down his spine.
"We love you here." Iwaizumi lowered himself to kiss Tobio on his forehead.
"We love you here." Oikawa continued with kissing Tobio's stomach. The other boy tensed and tried to get him off, but Tooru wouldn't budge.
"Oikawa-San! Don't! He touched me there, and it doesn't feel clean there yet!" Tobio tried pushing his head away, but Iwaizumi grabbed his hands instead, and brought them to his lips. He pecked lots of kisses on them, and Tobio's eyes grew wide.
"No! He made me touch his dick! I tried scrubbing, but it didn't go off!"
Oikawa made Tobio shut up with a deep and long kiss. Tobio gasped into the kiss, and slowly but surely he felt his heart bristle with love. Iwaizumi was leaving soft kisses and some soft biting marks all over his body, while Oikawa was nibbling on his lower lip.
It didn't take long for the tears to appear in Tobio's eyes. This was so much more than he had ever dreamt of. This was so much more than he ever deserved. He didn't know how to act. How could he ever repay them?
He melted into their touches, while the tears beautifully adorned his face. It was a really intimate moment for him, and yet he wouldn't want to have had it any other way.
What did he do to be graced with two loving boyfriends? He didn't know.
Suddenly, he burst out in tears. He couldn't continue kissing Oikawa but instead he started sobbing really loud.
Tears shamelessly poured out of his eyes, and his boyfriends immediately stopped in their tracks.
"Hey baby. What's wrong? Hey... shhhh" Iwaizumi reassuringly caressed Tobio's leg, while Oikawa patted his head.
"It's- it's so overwhelming. I'm so thankful. I don't deserve you guys."
"Yes you do, Tobio. You deserve so much more than us."
"I love you."
"We love you too, To-kun."
Kageyama was happy. He was finally surrounded by people he loves. By people who love him equally. He knew that, no matter what happened, he would always have his boyfriends. Somehow, that thought made him feel excited for what was to come.
After that, it didn't take him long to sleep off.
Tobio was sitting on the passenger seat in their yellow Lamborghini. He was growing more impatient with every second that passed. They were late already, and now out of all times Oikawa decided to add a little finishing touch to his outfit?
His classes started in less than 20 minutes, and he didn't want to be even more late.
Since the incident back in America, one week and some days had passed. Tobio managed to stay home one more week before resuming college. The director understood, given the fact that he was now a full celebrity in Japan. Little girls were running around with magazines of his shoots, and tons of people bought stuff of the collection.
They couldn't go anywhere now without being approached.
It was a Transposition. Yes it definitely was. But it was not necessarily bad.
He had his own bodyguard that followed him everywhere. What would've been uncomfortable for him half a year ago, was now calming him. This way he was protected. No matter where he went.
In the end, they ended up dropping the case. Kageyama would've loved to go to court with that case, but he figured he shouldn't. He didn't have time to dwell on bad things, and either way, the guy got a punishment. He figured that he should invest his time in himself. Care for his mental health. Invest it in his studies and his boyfriends. Things that mattered to him.
Kindaichi and Kunimi mattered to him. He found out that they didn't live too far away. At least when they were in Japan. Hyogo they said. That was good, cause they would be able to see each other far more often once the exchange had finished.
They spent the last day tighter in America. Only the three of them. Even if they had lessons, they skipped them. For Tobio.
That's what tobio called real friends.
Apropos Friends. It was on the third day of his extra vacation week. Shoyo and Kenma came to visit him at Oikawa and Iwaizumi's place. They brought him all the stuff he missed out on in college. Although he missed only three days, and they didn't even had the same courses.
But Tobio was happy he got to see them. They were good now. Shoyo wasn't over Tobio still, but he figured he would never stop loving him. He decided to live with that. Even if it hurt.
Kenma was now in a full relationship with that Kuroo guy. Tobio didn't like him, but the feeling was mutual. He was still happy for Kenma though.
Kageyama told them about what happened in America, and they were quick to build him up again. They hugged him, and it was then when Kageyama realized how much he had missed them. His first friends. Forever.
He was even more happy when he heard that Oikawa and his mum were back in contact now. Tobio thought that woman was selfish for only calling her son once he got world famous, but when he saw how Happy Tooru was because of that, he couldn't help but share his joy. He wanted Iwaizumi and Oikawa to be happy. And it didn't matter how. He was ready to do everything.
Atsumu dropped by with his boyfriend Sakusa on the last day. Sakusa was staying over for three weeks, because his holidays were different from Atsumu's. Tsumu had said that Kageyama was most likely to get along with Sakusa well, and he was not wrong. At the beginning it was a bit awkward, because both were very wary of each other, but after Tobio had to tease Miya again, Sakusa immediately sympathized with him. They were very similar.
Tsumu had to suffer under them making fun of him, but he was secretly happy his bestie and his boyfriend got along.
"Tooru! Hurry up! I'll be late!", Kageyama yelled at his phone. Oikawa was still inside, but the time didn't stop just for him.
"Mean, Tobio-Chan! Ever since you started calling me Tooru, you've gotten as mean as Iwa-Chan."
Kageyama could literally see Oikawa pouting. He rolled his eyes.
"Whatever! Atsumu must probably be waiting for me! I promised him to be there on time! You're wasting my time!"
"I'm on my way! Sheesh." Oikawa rolled his eyes, but hurried up nonetheless.
Kageyama cut the call, and sunk back into his seat. This was relaxing. Whatever had changed while they were in America, it was relaxing. They were finally on the same page, and everything was slowly coming together.
Kageyama couldn't do anything against the small smile that graced on his lips.
And he didn't want to do anything against it.
A/N:
Wthhhhh! That's it! That's the ending! Thank you guys so much for sticking with this book up until now?!
But dw, I'll post a separate authors note after this.
Anyways, I wanted to clarify that I don't see Tendou Satori like this at all. This was solely for the purpose of the fan fiction. I'm not sure if I already mentioned that.
And if any of you experienced something similar to this (r*pe etc.) please know that we stand with you! If it makes you feel better, talk with someone about it. (I'm here too) If it doesn't, no problem at all, but know that I am so sorry and you did nothing to deserve that.
Please protect yourselves at all cost!
Next thing is, I posted a oneshot on my profile. It's a bit angsty with attempted suicide, but I just got the idea one night, and had to write it. Feel free to check it out!
(Also posted this on ao3 the name's waifuforkags05 hehe)
See y'all one last time in the next A/N. (This chapter had nearly 10.000 words- it killed me! I didn't have the motivation to proofread but can you really blame me? But I hope you enjoyed anyways)
