Oikawa wasn't in the same class as Iwaizumi for the particular subject lesson that Iwaizumi was attending at the moment. And with his only source of entertainment absent, Iwaizumi could only sit in class quietly spinning his pen aimlessly within the tips of his fingers as he wondered how M/N was doing in the infirmary. 

After being forced to leave M/N's side(much to his displeasure, not that he'd admit it to himself) due to the nurse insisting, and literally throwing him out, Iwaizumi couldn't fully focus in class. Just constantly brooding over M/N's health and current condition.

Once the bell rang signifying that the last lesson of the day has ended, Iwaizumi instantly jumped up. Packing his stuff in breakneck speed, he grabbed within seconds his items and dashed straight out of the classroom, towards the infirmary to check up on M/N.

However, before reaching M/N, a beep on his phone interrupted him mid-run. Peering into his phone, Iwaizumi had realized that he had received a text from his math teacher for a consultation(academically for math).

Iwaizumi groaned as he glared at the screen of his phone. 'Why the heck did the teacher have to pick such horrible timing to see him?'

All Iwaizumi wanted to do was to go check up on M/N, and escort him home to ensure his well-being. But no, his math teacher just had to arrange a damn math session with him.

Iwaizumi sighed as he reluctantly accepted the fact that he couldn't be there to guide his beloved kohai home. He just hoped that M/N was feeling better.

Upon reaching the infirmary, Iwaizumi spots M/N, immediately eyeing the random different colored clay that lay around.

-

When M/N gave his little handmade fox figurine keychain made of clay to Iwaizumi, heavens could've sworn that Iwaizumi's heart began to beat faster as he received the cute fox with happiness bursting within him and a warm feeling shrouding his entire body.

Begrudgingly, Iwaizumi still had to leave. He dragged his feet away from M/N in reluctance, heading towards one of the school benches for his math consultation.

Sitting down on the bench, a sigh was let out as Iwaizumi waited for his teacher to arrive. However, another buzz from his phone alerted him of a new message.

•

From: Math teacher

Hi, I'm so sorry Iwaizumi-san, I have a last-minute meeting and thus I would have to cancel our consultation for today.
Apologies for delaying your departure from school. I'll provide you with another date for the consultation soon. Thank you.

•

Iwaizumi blinked as he reread the message once more hoping that his eyes weren't deceiving him. After checking the content of the text, Iwaizumi jumped with joy as he glanced at the top of his phone for the time.

Judging from the time, it hadn't been too long since Iwaizumi had left M/N. And if he runs, he might just be able to catch up with M/N.

Sweet!

Iwaizumi hurried along as he dashed towards the school gate. Excitedly as once he neared the crossing outside school, he caught a glimpse of M/N's figure. Smiling to himself, Iwaizumi hastened his pace as he aimed to reach M/N as soon as possible.

As Iwaizumi got closer, he noticed Oikawa on the other end of the street, eagerly wanting to speak with M/N, probably to apologize for what occurred 2 days ago.

Iwaizumi observed as Oikawa looked both ways before crossing the road, wanting to get to M/N. However, to Iwaizumi's horror, a sudden truck came speeding towards Oikawa as he was walking.

M/N, on the other hand, didn't look too good as well, his body wobbled as if he couldn't see, only perking up as the sound of the blaring horn rang out.

Iwaizumi's body froze like a statue as he found himself only able to stand there watching as M/N flung himself forwards to push Oikawa out of the way. And in the next second, M/N's body collided with the truck. His body fell onto the road like a tossed rag doll.

With eyes widened, Iwaizumi let out a loud scream of horror as he yelled out M/N's name with all his might.

"M/N!!!"

Finally able to move his legs, Iwaizumi rushed forwards towards M/N who lay on the ground with Oikawa still frozen on the floor looking on at M/N and the splash of red in fright.

Hurriedly, Iwaizumi fumbled around nervously trying to grasp his phone to call the ambulance.

-

"How's my baby?" A woman came rushing into the hospital ward where M/N lay.

It had been a few hours since M/N was admitted into the hospital and both Oikawa and Iwaizumi never left M/N's side since then.

"What happened?" M/N's mother questioned as she looked at the boys in the room.

Oikawa was still crying as he blamed himself for M/N's accident.

Being the more calm person(though his face was also red from tearing) at that current moment,  Iwaizumi answered "M/N got hit by a truck."

M/N's mother looked at M/N's motionless body as a worried look painted across her face.

"I'M SO SORRY. IT'S ALL MY FAULT THAT M/N ENDED UP LIKE THIS. HE PUSHED ME OUT OF THE WAY. IT SHOULD'VE BEEN ME!" Oikawa sobbed out as he apologises to M/N's mother.

M/N's mother didn't say anything, only giving Oikawa a gentle pat on his head before sitting beside M/N's bed, watching over him.
M/N's mother really wanted to blame the sobbing child, but she couldn't. After all, she knew that M/N made the choice to save him himself.

Taking the hint of her wanting to be left alone with her son, Iwaizumi bowed in respect before dragging the snot-filled Oikawa out of the room. Giving some much-needed privacy between mother and son.

"There, there Oikawa" Iwaizumi spoke while patting the back of his best friend, even dropping the nicknames as he tried his best to comfort the crying Oikawa.

Iwaizumi was vastly concerned over M/N's health and condition as well, but he knew that Oikawa had it worse emotionally anyways. Especially when the reason that M/N was laying in the hospital bed was due to the fact that M/N wanted to save him, that guilt was going to heavily weigh on Oikawa's shoulders from now onwards.

Akiri M/N fell into a coma. And doctors knew not when he was going to wake up again, if ever.

Author's note:
This chapter was supposed to come out like 2 days ago but erm... Can I blame the train (for arriving way too early before I could finish this chapter)?

Oh, and I've seen some of your questions, especially regarding which school M/N would be enrolling in. Well, to answer that question, you might want to look on to earlier chapters (I think M/N mentioned it before about which school he wanted to go).

Anyways, please don't mind any errors, vote, stay safe and

Stay happy readers! (✿ ♡‿♡)

P.S

This was supposed to be updated earlier but I accidentally fell asleep earlier at like 5AM without pressing publish so er... there's that.
