Warning! This has incorrect medical information, I'm very sorry.
Months had turned into years and before anyone realized it their 46th anniversary was about to pass. Tobio still remembers the first day they played together like it was yesterday. The people in the nursing home are amazed his Alzheimer's hasn't prevented him from forgetting Shouyou.
His pictures were hung everywhere around his room. On his bedside he had their wedding picture, a picture of them holding hands walking down the beach, and his favorite, the picture of them kissing after winning the inter-high preliminaries for their prefecture. The picture of them from high school is his favorite because it brings him back to the moment of their kiss. How pumped full of adrenaline they were, and happy just to have won. As well as the faces of the rest of their teammates when they learned they were in a relationship to begin with.
There was a knock on Tobio's door before one of the nurses came in smiling. "Good morning Mr. Kageyama." She said as she began to set up his breakfast for him. By accident she knocked over the photo of Tobio and Shouyou's wedding.
He almost smacked her hand for carelessly knocking over his precious pictures, but after years of Shouyou always scolding him for being impulsively mad he'd learned to not freak out. She picked up the picture, the frame not even cracked. "What's today?" He asked calmly now that he sees his pictures safe.
"July 9th." She says smiling, pouring him a cup of tea. "Your son called to wish you a happy anniversary, but you were asleep at the time of the call. He says they'll be coming over tomorrow as well."
"So it is. We've been married for 46 years Shouyou and I. I remember how awful he was at volley ball and how I soon came to love every bit of it. When is he going to visit? He promised he'd be right back. He'll be back wont he?" Tobio said to the nurse before beginning to eat his breakfast.
She nodded her head trying to hold back tears. "He loves you very much." She said, trying not to let her voice crack. Everyday he'd ask when his husband was going to return, forgetting he had died 6 years ago on the way back from the flower shop. She had been new then, but she remembers how cute of a couple they were. They seemed to be an odd couple, but in everything they did it was obvious they loved each other more than anything.
Hinata was still able to live on his own at that time, but he didn't want to leave Kageyama so he just stayed at the nursing home with him. They'd sit out in the garden talking, and throwing a ball back and forth. It amazed people how fast Hinata was for his age.
On today July 9th Tobio Kageyama celebrates another year married to his true love Shouyou Hinata, but everyone else around him mourns the loss of Shouyou Hinata on the same day. The nurse can't help weeping as she closes the door. She's told him Shouyou died, they all have, but he keeps forgetting. Every time freaking out and crying, becoming down for however long it takes until he forgets again. She can't tell him again. It's better he just stay happy thinking his beloved will keep his promise and be back before dinner.
