It& #39;s 4am when Osamu receives a text. He grunts, annoyed at the loud ping. He rubs his eyes and shifts to grab his phone from the bedside table, careful not to wake up his boyfriend next to him.
He squints at the notification. It& #39;s from an unknown number.

He swipes his phone to unlock it and open the message. He doesn& #39;t recognize the number at all and is skeptical about answering it.
This could be a random prank from a stranger, but then he debates with himself, thinking of the possibility that it could be important.

With that in mind, he answers the message. And he does /not/ expect that the unknown person would be this person. Sakusa Kiyoomi is texting him, and what& #39;s even weirder is that he& #39;s asking about Atsumu.

Now Sakusa has gotten his attention. Now that he& #39;s fully awake, he continues to ask questions, wanting to know what has The Sakusa Kiyoomi texting him at 4 in the morning.
But, the questions Sakusa asked made a pit of worry build up within him.
But, the questions Sakusa asked made a pit of worry build up within him.
Nothing prepared him for what Sakusa would say next. When he fully processes the messages he& #39;s reading, panic builds and he opts to call Sakusa.
Osamu waits for Sakusa to pick up. It takes 3 rings before he does and Osamu can immediately hear the background noise of paramedics talking along with the faint siren noises.
"Sakusa-san, what the fuck is going on with my brother?" He asks with a harsh tone he doesn& #39;t mean.
"Sakusa-san, what the fuck is going on with my brother?" He asks with a harsh tone he doesn& #39;t mean.
"Osamu-san," Sakusa greets. Why does he sound so calm right now, Osamu thinks. He clears his throat as a sign for Sakusa to explain.
He hears a sigh, "Osamu-san, I found your brother unconscious in the hallway, bleeding too. I don& #39;t know what happened, but I called 119 quickly."
He hears a sigh, "Osamu-san, I found your brother unconscious in the hallway, bleeding too. I don& #39;t know what happened, but I called 119 quickly."
Osamu swallows a lump in his throat, heartbeat beating rapidly against his ribcage. This doesn& #39;t sound good at all.
"To me, ever since I joined the team, Miya never looked as— happy as he said he was and I feel like he& #39;s been coping badly."
"To me, ever since I joined the team, Miya never looked as— happy as he said he was and I feel like he& #39;s been coping badly."
"Fuck, I should& #39;ve known. How& #39;re ya soundin& #39; so calm right now?" He snaps, angry and confused but also sad.
"I& #39;m not, I just—" Osamu hears a small sob and it shocks him because Sakusa Kiyoomi is /crying/.
"Mi— Atsumu, he means a lot to me and has helped me."
"I& #39;m not, I just—" Osamu hears a small sob and it shocks him because Sakusa Kiyoomi is /crying/.
"Mi— Atsumu, he means a lot to me and has helped me."
Osamu can hear the brokenness in his voice.
"I feel horrible that I didn& #39;t notice either, yet I can& #39;t imagine how you feel right now."
There& #39;s a pause.
"We& #39;re almost at the hospital. I don& #39;t know what terms you are with your brother, but I feel like he needs you."

There& #39;s a pause.
"We& #39;re almost at the hospital. I don& #39;t know what terms you are with your brother, but I feel like he needs you."
Sakusa tells him what hospital and hangs up the call. Osamu stays frozen for a second before he rushes to put on some clothes, grabs his keys and wallet, and gets on the first train he can.
The whole ride there, he feels anxiety pick at him and he forces himself to breathe.

Meanwhile on Twitter...
Two hours into the ride, he feels his phone vibrate. He pulls it out to check who messaged him and curses when he realizes he forgot to tell his boyfriend what happened and where he is.
Finally, he reaches Osaka and quickly gets a cab to go to the hospital. When he reaches there, he shoves money into the driver& #39;s hand, shouting a thanks and says to keep the change.
He runs to the reception area, "Miya Atsumu. Where is he?" He says, shocking the nurse.

"U-uh, let me check—"
"Hurry up." He doesn& #39;t mean to sound rude, but it isn& #39;t everyday you get a call at 4am from your brother& #39;s teammate and the first news you get about your brother after not talking for so long is that he& #39;s being brought to the hospital.
Yeah, not fun.

"Room 407, s-sir." She stutters and Osamu says a thanks before running to the stairs, knowing the elevator would be too slow and only build up his anxiety more.
When he reaches the room, Sakusa is sitting outside, head in his hands. His hair is disheveled and he looks tired.

Sakusa looks up to him when he walks closer and he doesn& #39;t look like he slept at all. Well, the reason is obvious, he thinks.
"Osamu-san, you& #39;re here. I didn& #39;t expect you to be here so soon, to be honest."
"Of course I& #39;d get here as fast as I can, Tsumu is my brother."

"Of course I& #39;d get here as fast as I can, Tsumu is my brother."
There& #39;s only silence after that. However, the silence is broken when Osamu hears his phone go off again. He slips his hand into his pocket to look at it and practically pales when reading it.
"Fuck." Sakusa looks at him, raising an eyebrow. The silent question of, "What happened now?"
Osamu gulps, "It got to twitter apparently, Rin just told me now." He watches as Sakusa& #39;s face morphs to shock and now the other too has his phone out.

As they try to see how bad the news has spread about Atsumu being hospitalized has spread, the door to the room opens and a doctor with some nurses walk out.
Osamu snaps his head towards the doctor and Sakusa stands up immediately.

There& #39;s a solemn look on her face, she approaches them as the nurses leave the area to check on other patients and such.
"Are you family?" She asks first, Sakusa shakes his head and points to Osamu. She turns to him, "Uh, I am. I& #39;m his twin brother."
"Are you family?" She asks first, Sakusa shakes his head and points to Osamu. She turns to him, "Uh, I am. I& #39;m his twin brother."
She nods her head. Before she starts talking, she asks Osamu whether it& #39;s ok for Sakusa to listen in and he just nods his head.
"Alright then. First of all, we ran some tests and the results don& #39;t look well." She sighs, reading through her clipboard.

"He tested positive for the drug tests and when I looked into it, there was a lot in his system. He also almost developed a liver disease. He also has cuts all over his inner thighs, some are even deep too."
She pauses, letting the two men process what she just said.

The doctor finishes telling them the news and updates about Atsumu before taking her leave to let the information sink in and to let the both of them talk.
Osamu was the first to speak, "Tsumu... Tsumu could& #39;ve died." His voice was so quiet, Sakusa almost missed it.

Sakusa was speechless, only able to stare at Osamu with sadness, guilt, and— and pain.
No other words were said, both too distraught to even form a conversation. Instead, they both decided to enter the hospital room that holds Atsumu.

When they get inside, they are met with the sight of a pale looking Atsumu. The blonde& #39;s eyebags look so dark and deep, they wonder if had even slept at all.
His lips were pale, almost blue. There are evident scratch marks on his forearms, almost scarring them.

It felt wrong. It felt— awful.
Looking at Atsumu in this state felt so wrong. They were so used to the setter being all energetic and happy, smiling every time you see him.
Seeing him like this was like being hit in the face with a stone brick.

Osamu stared at his brother before walking to the side of his bed and pulling a chair to sit at the side of it. Tears were welling up in his eyes as he continued to observe his twin& #39;s unconscious body.
He took Atsumu& #39;s hand in his and gave it a little squeeze.

It felt like he was holding bones, to be honest.
Osamu cried. He cried for his brother, he cried for his guilt, he cried for everything,
If only he checked up on him more. If only he didn& #39;t let a stupid petty fight set them apart. If only—
He sobbed and sobbed.

He sobbed and sobbed.
Sakusa could only watch as the man cried, every sob racking his body. He could only witness such a painful scene, not being able to do anything to fix it.
He looked away when he felt his phone vibrating. He frowned, grabbing his phone from his pocket.

Ah, shit.
Right, news got to twitter. Curse the media and curse the people who think this is a topic that they can just talk about.
He winced when he saw the amount of notifications he has from the MSBY group chat. He opens the chat and goes thru the messages.

He pocketed his phone and went over to Osamu. He nudged him on the shoulder, causing the man to look up at him.
"W-what?" Osamu asks, voice hoarse. Sakusa sees how red his eyes are and sighs.
"You might want to check twitter. Maybe say something if people are messaging you?"

Now that Osamu thinks about it, he has been feeling his phone vibrate a lot. He takes out his phone and frowns at the amount of people messaging him and asking about Atsumu.
He opens twitter and tweets out some things and turns off the option for people to message him.

Sakusa goes through twitter, seeing the amount of people mentioning him since apparently it was also said that he was seen walking in the hospital beside the stretcher that held Atsumu.
He scowls at those gossipers and such. He also sees that MSBY& #39;s official account tweeted.

Sakusa sighs, exasperated. He decides to grab a chair and sit on the other side of Atsumu& #39;s bed. He lays his head next to Atsumu& #39;s hand and uses his arms to pillow his head.
He observes the male, heart breaking at the sight. He decides to lean close to his ear and whisper,

"I& #39;m sorry. Please don& #39;t leave. I— I love you." Sakusa finally lets the tears slip as he goes back to sitting and leaning his head on his arms.
Osamu watches it happen and normally, he would& #39;ve gotten mad since he has been protective of his brother since before.

But, he doesn& #39;t think he has that right anymore. Moreover, Sakusa seems to be good for his twin. He smiles, happy that there is someone who loves Atsumu for who he is.
"Sakusa-san, do ya love my brother?" He decides to ask for good measure.
"Sakusa-san, do ya love my brother?" He decides to ask for good measure.
Sakusa startles a bit, but smiles afterwards as he looks at the blonde fondly, laying a hand on his cheek.
"Yeah, I do."
Osamu smiles, "That& #39;s all I need."
"Yeah, I do."
Osamu smiles, "That& #39;s all I need."
