Oikawa was woken up by Kageyama tossing and turning in the bed next to him. Even in his groggy, half asleep state, it was very obvious that Kageyama was not having a good dream. Remembering how Iwaizumiś touch had comforted him when he was having nightmares, he rolled over and pulled Kageyama into his arms.

At first Kageyama tensed up, and for a moment, Oikawa was afraid he had made it worse. However, just as he was about to pull away, Kageyama relaxed and cuddled up to Oikawa. Relieved, Oikawa smiled as e drifted back into the world of dreams.

The next morning, the two boys woke up within a few minutes of each other. After completing their morning rituals they walked out to the kitchen. They were almost finished with their cereal by the time Iwaizumi came in drying his hair with a towel.

As the boys finished their breakfast and got up to go to the living room to watch television, Iwaizumi spoke. ¨Stay here for a minute boys. I need to talk to you about last night.¨

Both boys obeyed and came back to their seats. However, while Oikawa sat normally, Kageyamaś back was ramrod straight. He was doing his very best to avoid looking Iwaizumi in the eye, instead, he was staring at the table like it held the secrets of the universe.

¨Look at me please?¨ Kageyama slowly raised hi gaze from the table to look at Iwaizumi. ¨So, your mother has been arrested for unprovoked assault of a minor and is currently in jail waiting for her sentence.¨ Kageyama flinched when he heard the word mother, but kept quiet. He could tell Iwaizumi wasn´t done speaking. ¨However, the main thing I wanted to talk to you about is this. My boss at the police station would like you to testify against her at the trial.¨

Kageyama was shocked. Him? Testify? Against his mother? Seeing Kageyama´s shock and horror at the situation, Iwaizumi hastened to clarify. ¨You don´t have to. He was just asking cause if we had a witness, we could put her away for a long time, whereas, if we don´t, she´ll only be put away for six months.¨

Iwaizumi held his breath as he watch Kageyama think about it. While he was glad Kageyama was putting some thought into his answer instead of flat out saying no, it was very nerve wracking waiting for a answer.

In the meantime, Kageyama´s mind was working overtime. On one hand, there was a part of him screaming no and telling him to stay as far away from that woman as possible. On the other hand, even though Iwaizumi had said it was his choice, it was clear what Iwaizumi was hoping he would choose, and Kageyama really wanted to please Iwaizumi.

With his mind made up, Kageyama took a deep breath. ¨Okay.¨

Iwaizumi was very happy to hear that. He had been a bit worried that Kageyama was going to go into a panic attack. He had just been about to tell Kageyama to forget about it when he agreed. Even though it would be hard, Iwaizumi was convinced that testifying was the best course of action.

After such a tense morning, Iwaizumi decided that they all needed to go somewhere quiet and relax.

Once Iwaizumi had gotten the boys ready, they loaded up the car and took off. Iwaizumi stopped at a store and picked p a package on the way, however, he refused to tell them what was in the package or where they were going.

Eventually, they arrived at their destination. Kageyama and Oikawa were overjoyed to discover they had stopped at a park. They were even more excited when Iwaizumi allowed them to open the package and they discovered it held a brand new volleyball. Soon, they all headed over to the volleyball courts on the other side of the park.

After playing for three hours straight, Iwaizumi finally called a halt. They went out to eat for dinner at Maji Burger before heading home for the day. Exhausted by their playing, all three of them were showered and in bed by nine. All of them slept peacefully through the night with no bad dreams to wake them in terror.

The next morning found all of them at the police station to meet with Chief of Police, Sawamura Daichi.

When they first walked into the police station, Oikawa ran around looking at everything, thinking it was cool. Kageyama, however, was intimidated by all the large men in their uniforms and so he tried to hide behind Iwaizumiś leg.

He was in the middle of trying to disappear, when a silver haired man walked up and said something to Iwaizumi before turning to him.

¨Hi! I´m Sugawara Koushi, but you can call me Suga. And you are?¨ Kageyama debated whether or not to answer him. In the end, he decided it would be okay. This man wasn´t as scary as all the big men dressed in blue. He was much slimmer, plus he had a really nice smile.

¨I´m Kageyama Tobio.¨ Kageyama watched as the nice man, Suga, he remembered, smiled at him and started talking again. ¨You´re really pretty for a guy.¨ Kageyama blurted. His eyes opened wide in horror as he realized what he´d said.

Suga didn´t seem horrified though. Instead, he smiled and thanked Kageyama. Right at that moment, a large, black haired man walked out of the office at the end of the hall, and started heading towards them.

By the time the man reached them, Kageyama was back behind Iwaizumi´s legs. Peering around Iwaizumi, he saw Suga smile softly at him before turning his gaze to the man that was now standing behind Suga.

He watched as Suga leaned back into the man, before deciding that if Suga liked him, he must be safe. Plus, Iwaizumi was right there if anything happened. Scooting out from behind Iwaizumi, he observed the newcomer talking to Iwaizumi. From their conversation, he gathered that this must be Iwaizumi´s friend slash boss, Daichi.

Eventually they stopped talking and turned to him, ¨Are you ready?¨ Daichi asked, before leading all of them back towards his office.
