*I DO NOT OWN THE HAIKYUU FRANCHISE*

*I DO OWN THE STORY*

*THERE IS CURSING IN THE CHAPTER*

Oikawa's POV:

I walked to the table and handed the people their drinks. I work at a restaurant down down by my school part time. I had an injury, witch made me unable to play volleyball. When I quit the team it was everything everyone was talking about and now its old news.

I've been working here for about 4 months and have been doing a good job keeping it a secret. Normally I wouldn't let it stay a secret, but now things have changed and attention isn't my main goal.

I'm one of the only waiters at the restaurant. Most of them are women, and older than me. So no I'm not planning on dating or currently dating them. Most of them are like my older sisters.

Today my bosses wife is having a baby shower and most of the girls are there. Except Mika (OC), she's my best friend here. Mika was supposed to go but she said she wanted to be here. Mika is the chef at the restaurant, I think were pretty lucky to have a woman chef.

I've been working all day, 10:00 a.m. till now 8:42 p.m.

I walk to the back and grab my things, the restaurant closes at 9:00 so only 18 minutes to go. But just then a large group of people walk in wearing blue and white jerseys. My hearts skips a beat and my hands start shaking. My old volleyball team. 

Mika seems to notice this and walks over to me. "Hey Tooru are you ok?" I can only say a few words but she understands what I mean "Old ... Team ... There." My voices quivers and then she looks at the door. "Want me to take the table?" She used to a be a waitress here. "No, its my table I'll be fine." And then walk over to them.

All the talking stops when I get there, I keep my biggest smile on and hope they don't recognize me.

"All together I assume?" I say trying not to let my voice break. They all stand there with their mouths hanging down so low they could touch the floor. "Uh yes, together."One of them says. I don't even need to look at him to know who it is. Iwaizumi Hajime. He was my best friend, but when I had to leave the team I left everybody behind.

"Great, follow me." I say and lead them to a table. "Here we go, let me go get another table." I say as I realize the biggest table we have is to small for them. I run over to a small table and carry it over to the table. Then run to the back and grab 8 menus for each of them. 

I walk back and bring them their menus and then grab my pen and notepad. "So do you guys know what you want to drink or do you need some time?" I ask and keep my smile the whole time. 

"Uh we can order drinks now." Says Kindaichi. "Alright, what can I get you guys?" I say and am thankful for this, now I don't have to look at them and see the surprise in their eyes. Everyone orders a water and I walk away to the back.

While filling the glasses I hear someone walking my way. At first I think its nothing, just someone walking to the bathrooms. But then they walk to me and put a hand on my shoulder. "Oikawa." The voice says. I don't look back at them, I cant bring myself to do it. And especially now when its him. The one I left behind but never forgot.

"Oikawa Tooru." He says, but more stern. And still I ignore him. "Shitty-kawa." He says but not in his normal voice. But instead he sounds sad, like he's about to cry. 

So being the nice person I am I turn around and face him. Even though I knew it was him I was still startled by seeing him. "Yes?" I say trying not to seem scared. "Why the hell are you here and not with us?" He says and I hear his voice break. "I don't understand Iwaizumi, can you please explain it to me." He sighs and I start to see tears forming in his eyes. "You know damn well what I'm talking about, now answer the question shitty-kawa."

I look down and hope no ones looking and then I pull my pant leg up to let him see the metal prosthetic that replaced my leg. His eyes widen and then he looks down. "Sorry, I didn't know." He says and I can tell he means it. "Oh don't be sorry its fine. I'm guessing you would like to know?" He nods his head up and down. I take a deep breath and start explaining.

"After I hurt my knee, I was doing something with my cousin and got cut. At first I thought it was fine but later I realized it was rusted metal. It soon got infected and because we found out about it to late, we had to remove the leg." I feel tears start pricking at the edge of my eyes and look down. "I uh never knew." He says bluntly. 

"Yeah well I should get your waters ready. Anything else?" I say trying to change the subject. "Un no." He walks back to his table with my old friends who I had made many memories with.

When he's far enough away I set the cups down and slide down the wall so I can bury my head in my knees. After a few minutes Mika runs to me and pulls me into a hug. "What the hell did he say to you Tooru?" She has this mom vibe to her, I remember someone from Karasuno that reminds me of her. The setter, what was his name ... Oh yeah Sugawara! Thats who Mika reminds me of.

"Tooru I won't ask again, what did he say to you?" I keep my head down and point to my leg indicating I told him. "Awe Tooru, ya know what. You go home I'll deal with them. Text me when you get home ok? Oh and if your parents ask tell them I sent you home." She dosent even give me a chance to object and walks the table.
