"Please answer."

___

Losing can mean two very different things.

It can be the dry sound of a ball hitting the ground before you can reach it. It can be the bitter taste of watching a match slip through your fingers after so much sweat, so much repetition, so much hunger to win. But it can also be worse than that.

Losing a person weighs more than losing a game.

Tōru Oikawa always knew what it meant to fail in front of a packed court. He always knew how much each defeat wounded his pride, tightened his throat, and made him want to train until his body gave out. But that night, what suffocated him wasn't just the defeat. It was everything it ripped from him when he let anger speak first.

The exhaustion, the frustration, and the desperate need to be the best, Oikawa ends up hurting precisely the person who least deserved to carry the weight of that moment. And when words cross the line, the silence that follows is even more cruel.

Loving someone also means risking hurting them when your heart is overflowing with things that don't fit anywhere.

Regret comes too late when pride has already spoken too loudly.

Oikawa truly realized what he did... or is it too late to ask for forgiveness?

The minutes pass too slowly while he tries to figure this out.
