[yotsume]

Do you like cookies?

[pinpointing]

I'm okay with them! Why, did you bake some?

[yotsume]

Hitoka-chan did but I can't eat it...but I don't want it to go to waste. So I was wondering if you would like it?

[pinpointing]

You can't eat them... do they have nuts?

[Or peanut butter, or something she can't eat in them? Or --- sugar? Ah. Thousands of ideas are slinging through his mind at wondering why she can't eat these cookies it's not like she's a ghoul or anything right]

It's okay if they do, I'd eat them if you are really sure?

[yotsume]

No, they don't. I can't eat sugar.

_{[A little lie never hurt, right?]}

I'm sure. I feel bad I can't eat something that was made for me but if someone else can enjoy them then that's good too.

[pinpointing]

Oh! Are you diabetic? I'm just asking to know, I hope you've been eating okay enough to keep your levels going right.

Sure sure, it's okay then!

[yotsume]

I am. I'm okay, I promise.

_{[She's been doing the opposite of eating - she's starving. Coffee only does so much, after all.]}

Where are you I'll bring it to you?

[pinpointing]

Good, I'm glad to hear that. I'm at the gym right now, but I could meet you partway so you don't have to go too far out of your way?

[yotsume]

It's okay. I can meet you at the gym.

[pinpointing]

Okaaay, I'll be waiting!! Take care heading over.

[yotsume]

Okay. I'll see you soon.

_{[She wastes no time heading over toward the gym, Yachi's cookie gift in hand. When she does reach the gym she pushes the doors open quietly, peeking inside. It's only when she spots Oikawa over at the far end that she enters, letting the doors close behind her. She hasn't seen much of him the past couple of days but that's been on her mostly. She's been hungry and he smells good. It isn't the best combination, you see.]}

Tooru-oniichan!

[pinpointing]

[Does he smell more delicious because he's been working out and he has been sweating? Smiling brightly when he is coming down from a serve, Oikawa easily moves away from the court with his arms wide open to sweep Hinami up in a hug.]

Hina-chaaan!

[yotsume]

_{[She hesitates slightly when he opens his arms for a hug but she gives in and wraps her arms around his middle, pressing her face into his chest as she worries her lower lip. He smells good. Too good. God she's so hungry.]}

I brought you Hitoka-chan's cookies.

[pinpointing]

Ah -- they're hers? [Squeezing his arms securely around her, then releasing to set his hands on Hinami's shoulders, Oikawa moves to crouch down so they were more at eye level.] Did you run into her recently?

[Recently, as if they didn't spend most of the day searching - since Oikawa was supposed to still be resting, he volunteered to wait here in case she came back while the others kept looking around.]

[yotsume]

_{[She gives her head a little shake.]}

No. She left them at my locker...why? Are you looking for her?

[pinpointing]

Yeah we've ... we're just worried. None of us really know where she is right now, so I'm just. [We're just doing what we can to try and find her and know she's okay. Squeezing her shoulders gently, reassuring since this isn't the best news, Oikawa puts on a smile despite how he feels.]

If you do see her though, please let us know, or tell her to swing by or contact someone. In the meantime, thank you for bringing the cookies!

[yotsume]

_{[That's...no good. She can't help but look worried despite Oikawa's smile. Hopefully she was okay. The last thing Hinami wanted was something awful to happen to her.]}

You're welcome. I hope you enjoy them.

_{[It's then she moves to hold up the makeshift napkin bag Yachi had wrapped them in, fingers looking worse for wear. Her nails have been bit down completely, the edges chewed raw.]}

Here, Tooru-oniichan.

[pinpointing]

[Ah. If his own hands weren't coming up and the necessity of not dropping them being there, Oikawa would have dropped those cookies in a heartbeat at this first sight of Hinami's fingers. She must be stress chewing on them, is all he can think, before he's gently accepting that napkin bag.]

... Hina-chan? Let's get your fingers bandaged up, okay? [His voice was softer, and one of his hands was already coming down to gently touch her hands to catch one and inspect the damage. Really, all the bandages will do is keep her from chewing on her hands.]

[yotsume]

_{[Oh. Right. It's only when he snags one of her hands that she realizes the extent of the damage. He doesn't...expect anything, right?]}

I'm sorry.

[pinpointing]

Hey, nothing to apologize about.

[Gentle with his words and tugging even more gently when he has her follow her back to the storage room, those cookies get set aside on one of the shelves while he fishes out the first aid kit they have - there's not much left to it, but they do have enough gauze and medical tape to last them a while. Moving to have a seat in the doorway then to pat his lap so she will sit, he reaches around her with his head leaning against hers in a comforting gesture while he works to carefully bandage each finger and wrap the gauze with the tape to keep it in place - but not so tightly that it hurts.]

See, we're taking care of it right now.

[yotsume]

_{[She makes herself comfortable in his lap when he beckons her to come join her. There's no fuss and she offers up her fingers willingly, watching as he begins to wrap each digit gently and diligently. ...Had she really chewed them that badly? Apparently she had.]}

Thank you, Tooru-oniichan...

[pinpointing]

You're welcome, Hina-chan. Just take care not to chew on the bandages, okay?

[When he finally finished and held those little hands in his, he pressed his cheek into her hair for a moment, trying to hide the somber expression on his face. She's scared enough to be picking and biting her hands, this place really.... sucks. Not just for his own pains and aches, not just for his teammates pains and aches.

This place is an ass for scaring a little girl.]

Everything will be okay.

[yotsume]

Mm...

<sub>[The small sound is all she can really give in agreement as he cradles her bandaged fingers in his own. The weight of his head pressed against her own has her scrunching up her features, bottom lip worried between her teeth. He's too good to her. He wouldn't treat her like this if he knew what she was. He'd hate her. He'd want her dead. There's no way he'd hold her hand or hug her or smile at her as if he really was happy to see her. How many people had smiled for her in such a way? She could probably count the number between her set of bandaged fingers.

He smells delicious. It's distracting.]</sub>

I'll try and leave my fingers alone.

[pinpointing]

Good, glad to hear it.

[Rubbing the backs of her hands gently, so careful about those bandages, Oikawa shuts his eyes and just relaxes like this for a long minute - he's trying to think. She needs something to do with her hands to keep her busy, to keep her from chewing on them, if she's really this scared.]

When your fingers heal up, do you want Iwa-chan and I to show you some neat volleyball tricks? [As if they aren't already showing her bits and pieces when she visits - but maybe something as simple as having a ball around to toss and play will could help her.] I can give you one of the volleyballs if you want, so you can try it even when you're with Touka-san.

[yotsume]

_{[He's too nice. He's too nice to her. He shouldn't be. She doesn't deserve it. Her hands in his are incredibly small, but despite the pang in her gut his presence has a calming effect.]}

I'd like that, if you'd show me...I don't want to bother oneechan though to play with me.
