Summary
Everyone’s breaking a little, but no one’s saying it out loud.
Oikawa pushes through knee pain in silence, pretending everything’s fine while overworking himself and skipping meals. He’s always the last one in the gym, the one who smiles first and falls apart quietly after. His house is empty, and so is he, most nights.
Hinata lies about not eating — says it’s on purpose, that it’s a training thing — even though he’s lightheaded and aching. He covers bruises. He laughs it off. No one sees what happens at home. That’s the point.
Iwaizumi hears his parents fighting through the walls every night but doesn’t react anymore. He texts Oikawa like he always does — short, practical, safe. He doesn’t ask the questions he wants to. He’s anxious all the time and doesn’t even realize it’s not normal.
Kageyama goes home to silence. His routine is mechanical: eat, shower, sleep, repeat. He thinks about his parents in flashes — in sirens, in silence, in the heat of shower water too long on his skin. He doesn’t let the memory in all the way.
None of them talk. But everything is getting heavier.
