the night Oikawa gets a call from his doctor saying he needs extensive knee surgery, he doesn& #39;t tell anyone. he doesn& #39;t cry. iwa asks and oikawa lies and says he hasn& #39;t heard anything from the doctor yet, oikawa buries the pain as far deep as it can go and doesn& #39;t let a single+
tw: blood, injury
tear fall. he tries at least. he breaks on a wednesday. iwa had texted saying he had to stay at the library late to study so oikawa knew he would have the apartment to himself. he really tried to keep it in, but then he reached up to get a bowl from the pantry and his knee +
bumped the hard wood. he couldn& #39;t hold back the whimper as blinding pain shot through his leg, and the bowl in his hand fell to the ground and shattered over his feet. his bare feet. the tears fell as he pulled jagged shards of glass from his feet, his knee aching so immensely +
he thought he would pass out. once he got most of the glass out he was full on sobbing, covered in blood and shaking in pain, almost hyperventilating alone on the kitchen floor. he was too in pain to pull himself together, to clean up the mess he had made, so he stayed there,+
sobbing and shaking on the floor, his legs covered in blood, and it felt like he was underwater. he couldn& #39;t feel anything anymore, the numbness taking over, the lack of oxygen to his brain along with the pain still slicing through his nerves made it feel like he was outside+
of himself.

iwaizumi knew oikawa had been off for the past day. he chalked it up to nerves about hearing from his doctor soon but he couldn& #39;t help but think it was something more than that. he knew his tooru inside and out, like the back of his hand, and something in his+
gut told him that he wasn& #39;t okay. iwaizumi rushed through the essay he had to write as fast as he could, wanting to get home to oikawa so that he could make sure he was okay, maybe force him to tell him what was really wrong with him. after being at the library for hours, +
iwaizumi was tired and worried and he packed up his stuff and walked home as fast as he could. when he got up to their apartment it was eerily quiet, the outdoor lighting was flickering and iwaizumi felt something like dread pool in his gut. something felt off and iwaizumi was +
never one to ignore a gut feeling. by the time he reached their door his heart was racing and he prayed that oikawa was perfectly happy watching alien movies on their couch. he knew his prayer was in vain. he knew the dread he had felt was warranted when he walked in the+
apartment quietly and saw his tooru curled up on the floor, his body shaking like a leaf. he could hear his labored breathing, his sniffles. and before he knew it he was throwing his bag on the ground and sprinting across the apartment. when he saw the blood covering tooru he+
thought he would vomit, thought he might pass out right there. it was like walking into his worst nightmare, like walking into hell. his tooru was hurt. he was hurt. it didn& #39;t seem like he was even aware of iwaizumi& #39;s presence, still quietly shaking on the floor, not even+
glancing up at the movement behind him. iwaizumi walked up to him slowly, trying to hold in all the horrible emotions he was feeling at the sight, he needed to stay strong and steady for this. iwaizumi crouched down beside him and saw that all the shattered glass was set to the+
side, he had cleaned up after himself.

"Tooru baby what happened?" Iwaizumi murmured softly, almost whispering.

Oikawa finally looked up at the words, his eyes puffy and red, his face wet with tears. he seemed unfocused at first, like he wasn& #39;t really seeing what was in front+
of him, but then he blinked and iwaizumi saw a sea of emotions flit across his eyes before he broke all over again. he was falling to pieces in iwaizumi& #39;s arms, cluching him tightly enough that iwaizumi might bruise later. his sobbing renewed and he was shaking vigorously, +
his body unable to hold still as he cried into iwaizumi& #39;s arms. iwa held him tight, trying to hold him together, he still didn& #39;t know what had brought on this breakdown but he knew tooru always held too much in, it was only natural that he had to break at some point. and iwa had+
promised himself a long time ago that he would always take care of tooru no matter the circumstances.

after tooru cried for long minutes more iwa stroked soft hands down his back, "Baby breath for me, please," iwa whispered, his voice almost breaking.

tooru seemed to slowly+
respond to iwa& #39;s words, his sobs slowing down, his breathing becoming deep and even. iwaizumi let out a sigh of relief that he had finally calmed down and he pulled back to caress his face.

"What happened sweetheart?" Iwa asked softly, gingerly wiping the remaining tears+
from tooru& #39;s cheeks.

"I-I have to get surgery," Tooru choked out.

Iwaizumi sucked in a breath, "Fuck. It& #39;s gonna be okay, its gonna be okay, i promise," Iwa said, squeezing Tooru tightly, "I& #39;m going to be right by your side the whole time okay?"

"I-I know... I& #39;m just scared+
i& #39;m so scared Haji," Tooru said, fresh tears springing in his eyes.

"Shhh, I know baby, I know. But you& #39;ll get through it, I promise."

Tooru nodded, wiping the tears from his face, looking down and surveying his body, "I was trying to be okay about it, but then I hit my knee+
and the bowl fell and I just..."

Iwaizumi nodded solemnly, squeezing Tooru& #39;s hand, "Lets get you cleaned up okay?"

Oikawa nodded and iwa helped them both up and slowly but surely they both cleaned up the scattered remains of glass from the floor.

After a quick and mostly+
painless shower, Iwa was tucking Tooru into bed, kissing him softly on the forehead.

"Haji?" Tooru said, grabbing Iwa by the hand as he pulled back.

"Yes baby?"

"I love you."

Iwa& #39;s heart squeezed at the words, at the vulnerability showing through in Oikawa& #39;s eyes.+
Iwa couldn& #39;t help but getting under the covers and pulling Oikawa tightly in his arms, "I love you too, more than anything in the world. I know this is scary and awful but we are doing it together okay? You& #39;re not alone Tooru."

Oikawa nodded and wrapped his arms tight around+
Iwa& #39;s waist, buried his head in Iwa& #39;s chest, "Can we talk more about it in the morning? I& #39;ll tell you what the doctor said and everything, I& #39;m just... so tired Haji."

Iwaizumi nodded wordlessly, peppering kisses all along Oikawa& #39;s face, "Sleep baby," he murmured and before long+
Tooru was dozing quietly in his arms, finally at peace, for now.
