Hey guys! So I got really bored this weekend and just decided to write this little one shot- hope you enjoy!:)
Karasuno's trip to the hospital!
Part One:
"KAGEYAMA!" Hinata screamed as he barrelled into the gym a mere split second after Kageyama. The two undoubtedly smashed into one another, landing on the floor in a heap.
Noya snorted with laughter form the corner of the room.
"Hinata dumbass!" Kageyama yelled.
"Oops!" Hinata giggled, "Soweee!" He then proceeded to jump up immediately. "So what're we doing today Captain!?"
It was a bright Sunday, mere weeks before the nationals were set to start. The whole team was a buzz with ecstatic energy, so much so that Noya and Tanaka had even joined Hinata and Kageyama in the 'race to see who can pick up the most balls'.
Coach Ukai was at a family wedding (as he'd grudgingly told them the previous Friday) and Takeda sensei was visiting his girlfriend (to which he'd gone bright red in the face and the team had chorused a loud 'AWWWW!')
So Karasuno was alone for the day but had been given permission to use the gym as long as they were COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY SENSIBLE.
"Right guys! Let's get started with a small meeting!" Daichi yelled out across the hall.
The crows flocked towards him and settled (with much quivering energy) on the floor in front of the large whiteboard.
"Right, the plan for today is-"
He was cut off by a sudden, "I'm so sorry I'm late the bus broke down and- OH MY GOSH! I'M SO SORRY I INTERUPTED YOU CAPTAIN I WILL NEVER DO SO AGAIN PLEASE FORGIVE ME!" Yaichi stumbled to her knees and bowed to the much astounded captain.
"Er… it's fine Yaichi-san no worries…."
"Where's Kiyoko-san?" Suga chipped in, breaking the awkward tension that had spiralled into the room.
"Oh er…" Yaichi stood shakily to her feet, "Her dad's ill so she has to stay at home and look after him."
"WHAAAT!?" Noya and Tanaka screamed in unison.
"KIYOKO-SANNN!"
"NOOOOOO!"
"HOW WILL I SURVIVE A WHOLE DAY WITHOUT YOUR COMFORTING PRESENCE?"
"THE DAY HAS GONE COLD!"
"My heart has shrivelled into a small, tinsy, tiny, weeny, speck of dust…"
"I don't think I can face life anymore…"
"You survived yesterday without her; you weren't in school." Chikara said in monotone.
The boys whimpered and clutched one another, tears running in streams down their faces.
Yaichi nodded her head at the two, "I understand."
"Thank you Yaichi-san," The boys sniffed.
"Oh my god…" Daichi sighed.
"It's going to be a looong day," Suga slapped Daichi's back, "Good luck captain!" He winked and Daichi replied with a half irritated, half amused huff.
Yet the day started well, Tanaka and Noya were cheered by the idea they'd see their 'precious manager' tomorrow at school and although the boys were hyped up, they listened to their captain. Like young, noisy crows they played a few three on three sets; everyone got a good turn.
It was at lunch time that things started to go pear-shaped. They were eating outside, their coats on in the cold autumn weather. Tanaka, Noya, Kageyama and Hinata were sat in a group discussing their favourite moves when Noya came up with the idea. "Omg guys! Let's go and play some two on two!"
"Aww yeah like Johzenji!" Hinata chipped in.
"Omg is that how that dude managed that crazy back line shot!?" Tanaka added, already knowing the answer.
Kageyama's eyes simply glimmered with excitement.
Daichi had specifically told them to rest in this hour and NOT go in the gym alone but... rules are made to be broken, right? Besides they wouldn't get a chance to play any two on two between now and the nationals…
The four of them were filled with rebellious spirit as they slipped into the gym.
"I'll serve first, if I'm allowed Senpai," Kageyama asked, picking a ball up from the huge blue basket.
"Teehee! Be my guest!" Noya replied, with a cheeky white- toothed grin.
"Come on Noya-san! Let's crush this first year duo!"
"You got it Ryu!"
"Huuuhhh? Crush us?" Kageyama smiled a vitriolic smile and spun the ball dizzyingly as they took their positions.
"Bring it!" Hinata yelled jumping up and down in front of the net.
Kageyama threw the ball up with a spin, took a running jump and slammed it across the hall, it spun towards the back corner but before it crashed into the ground Noya wacked it up; a perfect receive.
"Woo!" Tanaka yelled as he received the ball up to the setter's position. Noya leaped up and jumped from the back line out front and tossed the ball.
Tanaka grinned maliciously as he jumped up.
Hinata jumped up with all his might and thrust his hands forward.
Tanaka aimed up and the ball slashed across Hinata's fingertips. Hinata gasped, "One-touch!"
"Alright!" Kageyama replied. He tossed the ball up from the back as Hinata jumped up for the second time.
Hinata swung alarmingly close to the net and slammed the ball down up front.
But Tanaka was aware of their habits and his hand, half expecting it to be slammed down up front, spun out and flicked the ball up.
The ball clipped the net and went to fall on Kageyama and Hinata's side but Hinata's leg whipped through the air and kicked the ball up.
"Ouch!" Hinata yelped as he hit the floor on his spine.
But the ball flew over to the other side of the net.
"Noya!" Tanaka screamed. Hinata leaped back up, arms and eyes ready to block.
"Alright!" Noya replied, doing a jump toss from the other side of the court.
But just as Tanaka sprung up to hit the ball a man clothed all in black, with his hood up, covering his face in a dark shadow, came in from nowhere and grabbed the ball tight in his hands.
"Ahhhhh!" The four trouble-makers screamed.
Chikara jumped, flipping off his hood, "Guys chill- it's only me…"
"Ahh Chikara!? Shhhh! Don't tell Daichi we were in here!" Noya frantically waved his hands around.
"Don't tell me what?" The players flinched and turned slowly to face the doors, where the rest of the team stood looking curiously in.
"Er…"
"They look like they were playing a two on two… in the gym alone and clearly not resting," Suga summed up.
Everyone stared at him.
"Visual analysis," Suga tapped his head.
"I specifically told you guys not to come in here alone- what if one of you had gotten hurt?" Daichi began seriously.
"Sorry Daichi," The four of them mumbled.
But to their surprise Daichi smiled, "Well who knows- maybe playing some two on two matches will be useful. After all I heard that's how Johzenji practices."
"We can!?" Hinata jumped five feet into the air, "Woooo!"
"Haha! Now we can settle this match Hinata! Your senpai's will beat you into the dirt!" Tanaka cackled.
"Tanaka! That's a horrible thing to say! I don't want you saying those kind of things anymore; they can really hurt a person's feelings," Suga told him sternly.
"Sorry Suga…"
"It shouldn't be me you're apologising too." Suga replied, hands on hips.
"Sorry Hinata," Tanaka mumbled to his shoes.
"Humph," Suga tutted.
"You are such a mum Suga," Asahi sighed.
"Huh?!"
The rest of the team snickered.
TWO HOURS LATER:
"That was exhausting," Hinata groaned as he and Kageyama walked off to fill their water bottles up during a break.
"Yea… but so fun." Kageyama agreed.
"Definitely!" Hinata jumped into the air and began skipping to the water fountain.
"What the hell are you doing Hinata dumbass?!"
"Skipping! It's a sign of enjoyment Kageyama you silly sausage!"
"Huh?"
Suddenly Hinata's soft soled trainers caught on a small and invisible patch of black ice.
His widened, "Kageyaaaahh!" He slipped abruptly, his body flinging of the ground spasmodically. Surprise and fear gripped at Hinata vice-like as he crashed down the stone steps.
"Hinata!" Kageyama yelled chasing after him feverishly.
Hinata groaned and eased himself up, his body sprawled across three steps, "Ouch!"
"Are you okay!?" Kageyama's face was etched with worry as he bounded down next to him.
"I'm cool… but my arm hurts a tad."
They both turned to look at Hinata's right arm.
"Ahh!" Hinata yelled repulsed.
Kageyama's eyes widened, "I'm getting Suga!" He dashed off and Hinata stared at his arm.
A long cut stretched down his arm, uneven and ugly. Blood oozed out and it throbbed and stung.
"I feel sick…" Hinata said to himself, turning away. It was then that he noticed the large rusty nail sticking out the corner of the stairs. The bumpy pattern matched that of his cut arm and the black, brown speckled nail was splattered with scarlet.
"Hinata!"
"Shouyou!"
He heard the shouts of his team mates and answered optimistically, "I'm fine guys! But watch the ice!"
He swore he heard Noya-san giggle at that.
Suga and Chikara reached him first, clutched in Chikara's hand was the first aid kit.
Hinata looked at them, and then down at his arm. Blood was pooling onto the stairs, contrasting vastly against the dull grey of the concrete.
"Oh my god Hinata!" Suga crouched down next to him and grabbed his arm.
"Oww!" Hinata protested.
"Chikara," Suga ordered. Hinata frowned but Chikara seemed to know what Suga wanted of him and he unpacked a thick cloth and pressed it hard into Hinata's arm.
Hinata yelped in pain and Noya sat down next to him and took his hand. "Youch Hinata! That looks pretty bad."
Hinata huffed in reply," I slipped," He mumbled, wincing as Chikara applied more pressure to his arm and Suga gripped it vice-like so he couldn't shift it around.
Tanaka chuckled, "We can see that."
"It must have been the nail he caught it on," Tsukki explained, looking down at the ground.
"Yeah, looks like it," Chikara chipped in, growling as the blood seeped through the cloth, "This isn't stopping, we might have to take a chip to the hospital Daichi- I think he needs stitches."
Hinata groaned but Noya grinned, "Cool! Karasuno's trip to the local hospital!"
"Teehee should be interesting," Tanaka added and they both winked at Hinata who couldn't help but smile.
"Got it," Daichi replied. "It's at times like this that I'm glad we're only fifteen minutes away. Can you walk, Hinata?"
"Erm…."
"Let's just take this one step at a time," Suga intervened calmly, reaching out for the bandages. "We'll tie these one tight and create a makeshift sling, okay?"
Hinata merely nodded.
Chikara folded the sodden cloth round Hinata's arm, reluctant to remove even the slightest pressure and Suga began wrapping the bandages round efficiently.
Hinata whimpered at all the fiddling, the pain in his arm becoming more and more obvious every second. Narita wrapped his arm round Hinata and pulled him into his chest comfortingly.
Once the sling was on Suga helped him up. Hinata swayed, "I feel sick…" He mumbled. Suga and Daichi eyed one another warily.
"Are you sure you can walk?" Yamaguchi asked his face pale, his hands wringing together worriedly.
Hinata nodded, "Of course!" There was no way he was going to look weak in front of his teammates. Especially Kageyama.
The third years shared knowing smiles and they set off, "The fresh air might do you some good anyway Hinata," Chikara commented.
The trip itself was rather uneventful and although it was reaching the wintery months the sky was clear and the air still and crisp. Hinata seemed to brighten up once he began moving and they were all joking around by the time they reached the hospital. Teasing Suga about this mornings 'motherly' action.
"I'm not the team mom!" Suga protested for the fifteenth time.
Tanaka sniggered.
"But remember when Yamaguchi grazed his knee and you fussed over him all of practice?"
"Oh yeah and when you were texting Yaku-san from Nekoma about the two 'families' meeting up over Christmas… That is exactly what my mum does…"
"Yeah and when Chikara had a cold last Christmas and you went over to make hot chocolate and look after him when his parents were away…"
"Alright! Fine… but if I'm the team mom then Daichi's the dad!"
"WHAT?!"
They burst through the hospital doors; a flock of black crows; still in their gym shorts but apparently immune to the cold, laughing and teasing one another.
Yet it wasn't lost on Chikara, Suga or Daichi that Hinata had begun shivering on the walk across and had become quieter and quieter; he was losing blood.
Kageyama wrinkled his nose as they walked in and Tanaka nodded knowingly, "I know right Kageyama? Hospitals smell so weird."
"The smell of disinfectant!" Noya announced.
"Indeed Noya-san my friend!"
A grumpy looking old man glared at them from the plastic waiting room chairs, clearly annoyed with the sudden disruption. The waiting room was painted in snow white and an unsteady pile of magazines sat stiffly on a coffee table in the centre of a group of chairs.
They went up to the reception desk; all twelve of them, and Daichi maturely explained what had happened to a stick thin nurse, who typed everything down on her computer with pursed lips while looking with disrespect at the team who were all talking loudly, especially Nishinoya.
"Guys! Shhhhh!" Suga loud-whispered, noticing the grumpy old man and stick thin nurse's disapproving faces.
"Sorry!" He received eight loud-whispered replies.
"Okay I've sent the information over, you can wait in the children's ward, just through there," the nurse pointed to a double doorway covered in farm animals.
"Ugh…" Hinata mumbled as they walked quickly away; eager to get out of that awkward white room, "Children's ward!"
Tsukki snickered, "Well you are under-sixteen."
"Pft!"
They walked in to the empty room.
"Ooooo! Play area!" Noya readied himself to run across to the large Noah's ark ship and miniature soft play area but just as he was about to set off Chikara gripped him by the collar and dragged him across to the spotty chairs. "Awwwww! You're so cruel Chikara."
Chikara gave a half joking, half sinister smile.
They sat down and looked around them silently for a moment; taking it all in.
"Well the bright yellow paint is sure cheery." Suga commented, nodding with approval.
"They should paint the ceiling yellow too," Tanaka agreed.
"Er…"
"Yes! It can be a box of yellowness!" Noya jumped up, clenching his fist.
"You read my mind Noya!" They fist bumped hard.
Chikara laughed, "You two are mad."
"Well if being mad is what it takes to make Shouyou smile then we'll be mad!"
Hinata, whose head was leaning against Suga's shoulder, smiled faintly; his face was quickly losing colour and he was starting to feel increasingly tired. It frightened him, although he didn't admit it.
Just then the doors opposite the room swung open and in strutted a tall young man, with wavy brown hair… and brown eyes… and…
"OIKAWA SENPAI!?" Kageyama screamed.
