He did not like this. If he was concerned before then he isn't sure what he is now. The moment he saw the younger boy flat on the floor he didn't knew what took over him but he went in a phase. He just picked him up ignoring all the chatter and fumbling teachers as he carried the first year all the way to the nurses room.

He only relaxed when the nurse sprinkled some water over the blue eyed teen which if was entrusted to Tooru then he would have sprayed an ENTIRE tank over.

But either way, he wasn't allowed to be inside the infirmary till the end. He had a valid reason to be there as team captain but after a quick check up and some hushed questions to the raven, he was ushered outside. Now he knows he wasn't asked to get outー it wasn't actually that harshー just for the sake of attending class cause God knows he was already relieved to leave class when necessary.

Then what in the world could be so secretive that he had to leave??

Unless and until Tobio had fucking mono or whatever which in the younger's case is impossible because he might as well be volleysexual if that was a thing. Also he doesn't think people faint from mono.

"What in the world am I even thinking?" he groaned. His mind is so out of control right now.

He still went to his class because no way he'll wait for the little idiotic brat who didn't took care of himself to the point where he passed out cold. Also he doesn't think the nurse would allowed him to talk to the first year so standing outside wouldn't help. But mainly the first point. Obviously.

He entered the class and greeted the teacher with a smile. The teacher was thankfully a laid back one so he didn't need to give a fake explanation of where he was. Some of the gritty ones still liked a reason for why he was out even though he had permission.

"Where were you?" he was asked as soon as he sat down. He might manage to get out of explaining himself to the teacher but he forgot he had an equally gritty best friend.

He sighed before answering.

"You're so nosy Iwa chan." he smiled as fake as the whole bachelor series, not in the mood to talk at all. Although he knew he should as Iwa chan should know about Kageyama too, but he just feels so defensive about it.

It's not his fault at all.

He was fixated with a glare which made a cold shiver went down his spine. He sometimes really wonders if the spiker could actually read his mind.

"Fine. Kageyama collapsed." he answered as the boy's last name felt like rubble on his tongue.

"WHAT?" Hajime got up as the whole class looked at him excluding the sleeping teacher who just spared a glance. Ugh and Tooru was called the dramatic one?

"Iwa chan! Stop causing a scene." he hissed and pulled the down to his seat. "Yes, he fainted. But he's fine. I think. The nurse is taking care of it."

"Shittykawa what the fuck? That's not something you should take so casually. How did it happen? Why did it happen? Why aren't you there with him?" the olive skinned teen all but yelled at him.

"I was talking to him and then he fainted after it. I don't know why it happened. The nurse told me she had it under control." he looked around smiling at a few of his classmates who were looking their way probably looking for gossip.

"What did you do?"

"What?"

"Don't act like you don't know. What did you do?"

His temper was rising at his friend's sudden accusations as the bell rang. He didn't answer the question. The teacher left and he got up right after walking out of the classroom.

"Oikawa. Don't walk away. Answer me you shit. What did you do?" Iwaizumi was right on his toe. He stopped his strides.

"I didn't do anything AT ALL. Your precious Kageyama was vanishing right off the break so I wanted to make sure he wasn't doing fucking drugs or something. Turns out he's gotten quite more rotten with time. Mouths off even more. God that little piece of shit." he spilled out after having enough with everything this dayー or even weekー has thrown at him. The second letter. The sudden avoidance at lunch. The weird behavior at practice. The talk. No, the fight. The collapse. The secrecy in what happened.

All and everything connecting to one and only one person.

Tobio.

"You accused him of being an addict out of nowhere? What the hell is wrong with you?" the ace looked he was either about to punch him or throw him off the roof. Both being aggressive.

"I didn't actually. I mean I did. But I didn't mean it! He never opens up unless you rile him up. I was trying to do that but he was being an asshole." he scoffed, gritting his teeth.

"You know exactly what it could mean if someone accuses you of something like that. He could be pulled out of the team just for the sake of not ruining it's name. You go around talking big game about being in depth with people but then go do shit like this. You can't even control your own jealousy for God's sake." Iwaizumi seethed pointing at him.

He froze for a second.

"Me?? Why the hell would I be jealous of someone like him? Just because he's a genius doesn't mean he's already better than me. You should know better. I don't need petty tricks to keep my position. I'm not jealous of that brat. I'm better." he growled out when he realized where he was and quickly composed himself.

Goddamn Tobio chan.

He stayed quiet for a bit leaning on the wall and not glancing the spiker's way. He knew he messed up in a way. But it was hard to swallow. He could never do anything right when it came to the noirette setter.

He looked at Iwa chan to see him looking at Tooru with a look like he knows something that he doesn't and sighed.

"How rude." he pouted.

"You're acting like it's all my fault." he muttered as he looked at the classrooms at the end of the hall. Looks like the classes already started.

"Are you sure it isn't?" Iwa replied fixing him with the same knowing look again. Another shiver went down his back as he remembered.

"The bento.." he shook his head. No way this all happened because of a goddamn bento.

But then again ; what if it did?

━-━-━

Tobio chan wasn't there at practice. He tried to look at the infirmary but the nurse shooed him off. He even tried to ask the coach but even he didn't knew what happened except that the younger went home.

Both him and Iwa chan didn't talk much after that. He knew why he was mad. But Tooru was mad too!

He just doesn't know at what.

Or who.

"Okay, let's talk. What the hell happened?" he broke apart from his fuming at Makki's voice.

"What do you mean Makki?" he asked giving a confused smile. All he got in return is a unimpressed look.

"How about the fact that the school is full of rumors about how their dear Oikawa san yelled at his first year teammate who fainted afterwards and both him and his best friend were seen having a argument during class hours?" Mattsun chimed in, dragging a struggling Iwa chan with him.

"They are making Tobio chan sound like a lost puppy or something. He was being a brat." he sighed bouncing the ball before spiking it in a serve. Although he was kind of a lost puppy at times.

"Or maybe you were just being an asshole." the ace gritted his teeth looking ready to shove balls down his throat.

"Okay maybe I didn't handle it that well but he was still being a brat." he looked away from the trio.

"You accused him of doing drugs is not handling the situation 'not that well'?" Makki fixed him with his no bullshit stare as Mattsun shook his head.

"Fine I handled it badly." he scowled, picking up another ball and serving it across the court.

"Why did you do it?" Mattsun asked leaning against a grumbling Iwaizumi.

"I guess I am just a bad person." he said giving a phony smile and serving another ball. He just got two blank faces and a scowling one in return.

Oh for God's sake.

"He looked sick. He wasn't playing like himself too. I was just.. worried. Happy? Now go practice. Captain's orders." he didn't look at either of them but he knew at least two of them would be grinning like idiots.

"Very much Cap. I think you already know what to do." he looked at the trio and he was indeed right. Mattsun and Makki were grinning while Iwa chan looked like he was contemplating something.

"What do I need to do?" he asked even if he did knew. Although they didn't know that.

"Figure it out." Iwa chan said before walking away towards the first years.

He might as well do that.
