memories ; tobi-q (pt. 3)

"no, seriously, i don't know who any of you are," qq said, "i mean, i have memories, but the voices are far away, and the faces are blurry. kinda like videos with very bad quality."

kageyama's eyes widened. she doesn't remember anyone, not even her friends.

neither will she ever remember him.

blinking back tears, he excused himself out of the room.

once outside, he leaned against the wall, hot tears threatening to roll down his eyes. he had spent countless hours with her creating memories, but now they were all gone...

"what's that?" a fifteen-year-old kageyama asked a fourteen-year-old qq, peering over her shoulder.

"aot season two has just been released!" qq said, "this is the episode as that chapter in the manga when hanji finds out that annie's titan skin has the same properties as the wall, and titans were inside the walls, and..."

kageyama completely zoned out as he gazed into her dark brown orbs, full of animation as she rambled on about the episode, getting lost in them.

"kageyama?" a voice said, snapping him out of his reverie.

kageyama glanced up to see sugawara standing there, with a concerned look on his face.

"sugawara-senpai," he whispered.

"i know you're down," his senpai said, "but her condition shouldn't be that bad, right? we could go ask the doctor, if you like."

kageyama stared at him for a while before nodding.

"as you know, she has amnesia," the doctor said, "but her memories involving you, kageyama-kun, would be the hardest to regain. it seems like she was thinking about you when the accident happened, so most of her memories with you got affected. i'm sorry."

blinking back tears, kageyama said, "n-no problem. and thank you."

sugawara and kageyama sat on the bench in the hospital's park, letting the wind blow against their faces.

"you could go out on dates with her to try and get her memories back," sugawara said suddenly, "you know, trigger something at least. there's bound to be somewhere that can bring back memories, right?"

kageyama thought of all the places they've been to, and he nodded.

"come on, bakayama! just give her a call already!" hinata said, folding his arms.

"urusai! i was just about to," kageyama retorted.

he tapped on her contact and was about to hit the "call" button when he remembered something. she's bound to not remember him, let alone recognise his voice when she answers. typing another name into the "search contacts" box, he called that person instead.

"hello?" the person said.

"qian, it's kageyama here," the ravenette said, "is qq with you?"

"yes, she's here," qian answered.

"could you pass the phone to her?" he asked, "and probably give her a brief introduction of me to her?"

"sure," she answered.

there was murmuring from the other line, before another voice answered, "hello?"
