ah, yes, i missed this asshole, truly. THANK YOu, there isn't nearly enough tenipuri here (especially rikkai *sad pepe*).

ANYWAYS, i loved it so much. it was really in character (not like i should be telling you that, you've been in the fandom for SO LONG) and i can see them interacting this way in canon. yukimura is such an interesting character, i'm so... and his dynamics with the team are intersting as well, but also kind of disturbing (that's mostly why it's so interesting duh). i adored the way you put this twisted controlling authority into words or not words rather, but sitution, leaving it to be read between the lines (doesn't sound weird, nope, not at all)

“Hello? Oikawa-san? Can I ask you to open your eyes for me please…thank you.”
Despite still being crusty from the artificially- induced sleep, Oikawa Tooru was just about able to muster the strength to open up his eyes and look into the light of the torch, held in the nurse’s hand. He let out a soft moan at the intensity of the thing…wait…

“Whr-hgk”, attempts to form some sort of dialogue were lost to him.
What he’d been trying to ask was, what the hell was he doing here and why was he lying in intensive care? He couldn’t recall arriving here…he must have hit his head at some point?
Had he been in an accident of some sort, or had he just collapsed from a heart failure (he’d heard that can happen sometimes out of nowhere in young athletes)? Or maybe…aliens?!

Dying to know, yet extremely exhausted, he drifted off despite himself and foreboding thoughts were shielded from view, like the nurse had shut the door.
----------------------------

Knocking three times before entering, albeit hesitantly, he found himself alone in the room. With two armchairs situated either side of a low coffee table, the furniture wasn’t as he had expected. On TV and in the movies they presented them like laboratories; clean and professional, with no hint of humanity. But in reality, counselling was about the human, he guessed. And this normal setting must be in some way an effort to comfort him, to make him feel as if he was having a chat with grandma…when actually he would be trying to salvage what was left of his life.

You see the operation had changed a lot of things. He had traded a few things in that operating theatre which he could never reverse. Tirelessly through the night the surgical team had worked to salvage his half-dead body and by George, should he be thankful. But he wasn’t.

One doesn’t often consider the donor when a transplant has been done, we thank them and bless them, but try to not think much of it. Tooru wished he could stop thinking and forget those childhood games. Playing the doctor, his Iwa-chan the patient… laying him out in his sister’s dolly bed and resting an ear on his chest, listening to the pound of his heart. But when that heart was beating so painfully in his own, it was hard to ignore.

JESUS CHRIST.

this is lovely!!

AMAZING.

Ohohohohoh! This was really nice because I'd never considered that Shikiba may be the one to cause an end to their relationship, even if he isn't the one to initiate the breakup. But it makes total sense that it'd happen like this. Excellentttttt. BREAKUP ASHITE IS MY FAVOURITE ASHITE.

Potions was a favourite,
Dark Arts made them blue,
Life in Hogwarts wasn't easy,
On the Aoba Johsai Crew.

They all be filthy mudbloods,
Humans, no great powers,
But unlike some, Tooru was one,
Bewitched a lass for hours,

But whilst this was delightful,
Witches were not his thing,
No Boggart in his closet,
In fact he was locked in!

For he had come to realise,
Nothing could quite compare,
Dem legs dat ass, the spell twas cast,
Was time to catch that bear.

A childhood one true love,
His shining knight in armour,
Oh Iwa-chan, sweet Iwa-chan,
Gay wizard, bara charmer.

Polite conversation was the one thing Akira had practiced nearly as much as he'd practiced playing Go. Gatherings like this at the Go Institute, filled with sponsors, administrators, and politicians were just as much a part of his job as placing stones on the board, but usually there was another face in the crowd on whom he could count to steal half of his spotlight so that Akira had time to use the bathroom or get a drink of water when his throat started to go dry from all the work of entertaining their patrons. They'd worked out a system for signaling each other at home so they could cover when the other needed a break. But his boyfriend (all the other high-level professionals had a certain winking understanding, although it was likewise understood that they couldn't be overt in front of guests, especially reporters or politicians) had melted out of the crowd, not to be seen, after the award ceremony itself. Even now, Hikaru was out of eyeshot, and it was hard for Akira to keep his worry off his face well enough to stay polite.

"Well, Touya-Tengen-sensei, is it now?!" Omura, one of the government ministers who fancied himself quite an excellent player, approached with a broad smile. "How does it feel to see your rival claim his first title? I'm sure we'll see some good matches between you in the Ouza league. You wouldn't want him getting to two before you!"

He bowed, with all of his concern hidden safely away, although he couldn't bring himself to smile back. "I couldn't be happier that Shindou-Honinbou has claimed his title. My rival, if you choose to call him that, should be able to do no less."

Politicians often laughed with a bold guffaw, but this one preferred to keep his humor to a silent chuckle and a friendly expression he had no doubt practiced in front of a mirror for hours. "He played excellently, even I can see that. It was an honor to be alive to see that final match against Kuwabara-sensei. I, for one, salute him on the marked improvement in his endgame. That was always his weakness. Don't you agree, Touya-sensei?"

"This is hardly the time to criticize my colleague's sense of play, even if there were anything to criticize," Akira politicked through his gritted teeth. "Each person's Go is so unique, after all."

"Hah! A fair answer. Not one for gossip, I see."

As if he would engage in that kind of back-biting with a man who couldn't even know the hours Hikaru had put into training on his endgame, in and out of the public eye. It was only natural that his skills would improve now that he was finally matched consistently with players who could challenge him on equal footing. This was rapidly becoming one of the days when Akira resented the time he had to spend making nice at receptions instead of sitting at a goban with a cup of tea and a skilled opponent. But he had no intention of going home upset. Not when Hikaru had one the title he'd put so much of his heart into. Any fool could have seen the intensity in his eyes, and all of the newspapers had noticed that he'd been 'on fire' throughout his challenge against the old man, but Akira could see more than they could.

On the nights before the Honinbou matches, he'd barely raised his voice above a whisper, when he'd spoken at all. The intensity he'd shown through these past weeks hadn't been the normal passion Akira could always feel roaring in the air around Hikaru when he played. It was colder, more like all of his fire had been drawn deep inside to burn for something only Hikaru could see. This title meant something to him, something Akira couldn't name, and Hikaru wouldn't say.

In the far corner, by a window blocked off by the buffet staff, and what looked like Isumi-6 dan and Waya-4 dan running interference to keep the crowds occupied, Akira finally caught a glimpse of blond-dyed hair. Hikaru's silhouette was statue-still, gazing out on the courtyard with a glass of water in his hand that he wasn't drinking, turned so no one could see his face. Through the loud press of people, careful not to neglect their conversational partners, Isumi-6 dan saw Akira's questioning glance, and answered with a subtle jerk of his head.

The meaning was clear. "You should talk to him." Which he could have reasoned on his own, but it was nice to have the confirmation that Hikaru hadn't asked to be left alone.

Akira turned back to Omura. "Speaking of Shindou-Honinbou, it occurs to me that I've yet to congratulate him on receiving his title. I hope you'll excuse me?"

"Of course, go on! Keep your enemies closer, isn't that right?"

"Minister, you're clearly well suited for a government career," he answered, with his most polite expression of all tacked to his face. Then, he switched to the intent expression that let him cut through crowds without getting stopped. He had his eye on the lonely figure by the window, who seemed to be looking for something in the rooms reflection that he'd most likely never see.

Coming up behind Hikaru without a word, their eyes met in that reflection. At least Hikaru appeared to see that, even if he wasn't responding to anyone else.

"Aki... T-Touya," he corrected himself. At least he wasn't so far gone as to forget there were still reporters in the room. Although, from the faint redness around Hikaru's eyes and a hint of shine on his cheeks, Akira had to guess there had been tears.

He palmed a handkerchief -- Hikaru never remembered to bring his own -- and stuck out his hand for Hikaru to shake. "Congratulations on taking your first title, Shindou."

"Geez, you already took me out to dinner to say that. You didn't have to come over--"

He stopped griping when he actually shook Akira's hand and found the handkerchief.

"Thanks... Touya."

"Of course."

If they'd been at home, he might have held Hikaru against his shoulder and asked if he was all right, then waited in silence while Hikaru didn't answer. Sometimes that happened, and after a few minutes, Hikaru would work out whatever he was feeling, run out to the market for some ridiculous flavor of ice cream that had tiny fish-shaped chocolates mixed into it, and they'd eat the whole thing while they played Go until Hikaru collapsed. Here, they couldn't embrace, there wasn't any ice cream, and worst of all they'd have the entire room's attention if they sat down to play a game. All Akira had to offer was his presence.

And yet, it wasn't long before Hikaru whispered, "Sai... would've been proud, I think. Of how I played that match. I think he would've been... okay with this."

"... Sai?"

Anyone would have been proud of Hikaru for that match, obviously. Okay didn't even enter into the question. But to hear that name on Hikaru's lips for the first time in... in years...

There wasn't anything else Akira knew how to say. But Hikaru wasn't waiting for him to ask a question. "Yeah. Sai," he murmured. Then, he turned away from the reflection in the window and sat on the sill like he'd turned into a petulant teenager all over again. "I know it's been awhile, but I think... I'm ready to tell you now."

Akira braced his back against the wall, looking at the crowd ignoring them while he stood by Hikaru's side. He had a feeling he was going to need the support. "Okay," he said, not even sure what he was about to hear.
