The nurse looked at Iwaizumi, "it could mean that he can hear you but it could also be an involuntary action, his body reacting on it's own but we'll know more tomorrow so just keep talking to him" and with that she left.

Iwa sat back on the bed beside Oikawa and ran his fingers through the boys hair, "you've suffered so much, haven't you? Why did you never tell me what was going on? I would have supported you no matter what. I love you Tooru, I always have and I always will" he sniffled.

He tried to compose himself as best as he could. If Oikawa could actually hear what he was saying he didn't want to waste time by crying like a baby, he needed the brunette to hear what he was saying, to know that he was loved.

"I've always envied you Tooru. I thought you had the perfect life, the perfect family, adoring fans but when I think about what you went through on a daily basis, it breaks my heart. I always promised that I would have your back but I treated you horribly even though you never showed me anything but love. I'm so sorry".

Iwa decided to lay on the bed beside the brunette, resting his head on his shoulder and wrapping his arm around the boys waist. He gently ran his fingers over the rise of the boys cheek and his thumb lightly over Oikawa's lips. God he wanted to kiss him so badly, it was like the air was being sucked from his lungs, he couldn't breathe as a sob ripped through his body. He couldn't lose him now, "please God, don't take him away from me. I beg you" the boy whispered.

Sleep eventually overtook Iwaizumi's body as he clung on to the unconscious boy as though he was a life raft saving him from drowning. His dreams were plagued by visions of the accident and of the look on Oikawa's face when he caught Iwa with Kanji. He shot up in bed in a cold sweat, his heart beating a million miles a minute. He eventually lay back down and just looked at the broken boy beside him.

"Tooru, I wasn't rejecting you when you kissed me that morning. I was shocked and angry as I thought that you were playing with me as I'd only ever seen you with girls. I handled it in the worst way possible and the only reason I was with Kanji was to try and get over you, but that's impossible. He could never be you, never replace you and never fill the void in my heart where you belong. If I had told you about my feelings this would never have happened and you would be okay."

'Was there something I could have said to make it all stop
hurting'
'It kills me how your mind can make you feel so worthless'
'So before you go.......

A few hours later Oikawa's mom and dad and Iwaizumi's mom arrived. They stood around the boys bedside, Iwa holding one of the brunettes hands whilst his mother held the other as they waited for the doctors to take the boys limp, battered body for a brain scan.

The doors opened to reveal the doctor who was dealing with Oikawa's case and the porters to wheel him to his destination. Iwa bent down and kissed the boys lips gently and whispered in his ear, "fight baby, with all you have and I promise that I'll be here waiting when you get back."

And with that the boy was gone. Leaving his loved ones praying for a miracle.
