''hinata will have to be transferred to a mental hospital'' kageyama's head shot up at this. everything seemed to freeze around him. to him, it was just kageyama and the doctor. no family, no friends, no strangers. kageyama felt anger arise in him. before he could comprehend what he was doing, he ran up to the doctor and held him by his collar. 
                          
his face was full of anger and regret. regret because he didn't see the signs of his boyfriend in pain. he could of prevented this from happening. kageyama blamed himself. the reason hinata was in the hospital was because of him.
                          
''tobio, put him down'' kageyama felt a hand on his shoulder and knew it was his father. 
                          
''let him stay with us. i will not allow him to go to a mental hospital. he just needs... reassurance.. yeah reassurance'' kageyama begged the doctor to let hinata come with them. hinata needed to be by his side. no matter what.
                          
''no. i am afraid we cannot allow that'' this infuriated kageyama. he was pushed to the edge. kageyama walked forward so he was pushing the doctor into the wall.
                          
''let me tell you something doc. mental hospitals drive people crazy. you're not really 'helping' them when they don't want to be there. i just want to keep him safe. for him to be by my side. he can stay with us. we promise to keep him safe. 
                          
keep him away from anything that could harm him. please.. just don't let him go there'' kageyama pleaded. tears were threatening to fall. he could feel the steps of security behind him. 
                          
''i'll see what i can do'' kageyama nodded. atleast he considered it. he let go of the doctor and walked back to his seat, ignoring his team mates questions. all he could think about was hinata. 
                          
was he safe? was he breathing? was he awake? is he dying? were they treating him well? these questions kept replaying in his head. as he sat down, he put his hands in his hair and started rubbing his skull in frustration. ''he'll be fine kageyama'' it was sugawara. he bent down infront of kageyama and held his knee in comfort. 
                          
kageyama nodded and kept his head down. he really didn't want to look or talk to anyone at the moment. who would?
                          
it was atleast half an hour later and finally, a different doctor came out and looked around with her clipboard in hand. ''anyone here for shoyo hinata?'' kaiya raised her hand and the doctor came over. ''only one of you can visit him'' kaiya rubbed kageyama's knee as a sign saying 'go' kageyama stood up and the doctor nodded. ''follow me'' and so he did. 
                          
when they arrived to hinata's room, he was there looking ghostly pale. iv tubes hanging out of his arms producing liquid. his eyes were half-lidded. he looked tired and worn out. 
                          
''kage..yama?'' kageyama rushed to the chair that was beside hinata's bed. ''shoyo, i'm here. i'm here.'' he grabbed hinata's hand and started planting kisses on them. ''i'll give you two you're time'' kageyama nodded at the doctor as she left, pulling the curtain. 
                          
''why didn't you tell me?'' kageyama let his tears fall. it was too overwhelming to see his boyfriend laying in a hospital bed, looking deathly pale. ''i didn't... want to bother you'' his voice was rough. 
                          
''you would never bother me shoyo. remember our promise. come to me with your problems. and i said i would be with you through the thick and thin, didn't i?'' hinata let out a sigh, which sounded like a laugh.  ''yes.. yes you did'' 
                          
''i fucking love you shoyo, don't ever scare me like that again'' kageyama put his forehead onto hinata's head, being mindful of the tubes. ''i'll try not to tobio, and i love you too'' hinata giggled.  ''i also heard what happened.'' 
                          
hinata voice grew deep. ''don't make me go to a mental hospital.. please. i don't wanna go there'' now it was hinata's turn to be scared. it must of freaked him out because he started shaking and his heart rate went up on the monitor. 
                          
''shoyo, love. you need to calm down. i won't make them send you there. the doctor i threatened said he would see what he could do.'' hinata somewhat calmed down at that. not wanting to respond, hinata nodded. the two boys sat in silence, happy that the other was here. the only sound that was in the room was the sound of hinata's monitors and eachothers breathing. it was a comforting silence.
                          
after some time, the same doctor from earlier and the one that brought them in came in. ''hey shoyo how are you doing?'' it was the male doctor. ''i'm fine..'' hinata's voice was still raspy. 
                          
''we have come to a decision that you will not be going to a mental hospital but you will be monitored at home by the kageyama's. is that alright?'' kageyama and hinata nodded eagerly. 
                          
''we have already informed your school and your parents and friends so they will know. we want you to be on these pills that will help with your stability. 
                          
you should take one after you wake up and one before you go to bed. that will be all'' the doctor handed the pills to kageyama and he thanked the doctor. ''thank you'' they smiled ''its our job kiddo'' and they walked out after that.
                          
soon after, all his friends came in and the kageyama's.
                          
''hinata!!'' noya and tanaka shouted. they immediately got karate chopped on the head by daichi and he apologised for the shouting. ''its fine.. really'' 
                          
''how you doing kid?'' coach ukai asked his fellow student. ''i'm doing fine. tired but fine'' 
                          
''its nice to see you're alive.'' asahi told his kouhai. ''kageyama told us what happened. we're sorry about the events that happened with your family.'' yamaguchi told him, on the verge of tears. tsukishima was hugging him from behind, trying to calm his boyfriend down. ''its fine, we sorted them out. thats all that matters now.'' the team nodded in agreement with hinata. 
                          
for the time being, the group joked about and told old stories about family and friends. most of them being stupid and some of them being hilarious. 
                          
''excuse me?'' the same lady-doctor came in from earlier. ''i will like to say that hinata will be discharged tomorrow after he wakes up.'' she smiled and then walked out, probably to see other patients. ''yay! hinata's being discharged! wooohoo!!'' noya celebrated as he ran over to hinata, giving him a big squeezy hug. 
                          
''group hug time!'' tanaka shouted and ran over to hinata, giving him a hug on top of noya. everybody squealed and ran over to hinata and gave him a hug. even coach ukai. takeda-sensei had to leave due to complications with the school.
                          
soon after that, everyone left leaving kageyama and hinata alone. ''sir, visiting hours are over. if you wan't you can stay with your boyfriend overnight.'' a doctor peeked his head through the curtains. ''i will'' the doctor nodded. ''we'll bring another bed in'' he left presumably to get another bed. hinata was already asleep by then and kageyama was scrolling through instagram.
                          
the doctor came back with a bed and set it up for kageyama and wished him a good nights rest. ''thanks'' the doctor walked out with a smile on his face. he turned of the lights that were in his room and pulled the curtains. ''goodnight shoyo, i love you'' he layed down and fell to sleep.
