[ dal dal watches him as he hesitates, freezing the moment she sees that look on his face. immediately, she knows that something is not right. that isn't the face of someone who is being overly cautious — that's the face of someone who's seen something, and something unpleasant, at that.
her heart seizes up, traitorous mind dragging her back to the small room of the teacher's lounge. dark eyes, a low growl, a body that grew and consumed everything in its path, blood everywhere—
she squeezes his hand. hard. refusing to follow his line of sight, she merely steps towards the cafeteria doors, shoving one open. ]
Just keep going. Don't stop—
[ she doesn't want to know, she doesn't want to <>know. ]
[What makes his heart sink into his stomach the most is that he knows it's there in the hallway outside the gym. Outside the gym, where everyone else is. Should he call them, should he wake them from much needed rest, should he go try to distract it away? While Dal Dal's grip grounds him, Oikawa remains frozen in place as he tries to decide too many things at once.
Then whatever he sees is moving, those eyes turning away as it disappears around a corner and he shakes where he stands for only a few more moments, before briskly taking the steps into the cafeteria after her while still staring back behind them.]
I. Should call someone. Or would the noise attract it to them. [His voice is quiet, so so quiet he may as well be whispering.]
[ dal dal doesn't really hear him at first. she'd slipped into the cafeteria, pressed her back to the wall and just. tried to focus on breathing. hard to do, with her hand pressed so tight against her mouth, but she somehow manages.
too easy it becomes for her to recall that night in the teacher's office, and too easy does she remember the fear that had practically crippled her. it's freezing her now, making her nearly immobile save for the way her shoulders and hand shakes, and maybe if she'd had some more sleep, she would have been better prepared to fight them off. ]
J-Just text if you're worried about the sound, [ she finally gets out, slowly sliding down to sit on the floor. ]
[Vaguely nodding, struggling with himself to get air in his lungs, he follows her to sitting on the floor with one hand staying on hers and the other fishing in his pocket as quietly as he can. Flipping it open, texting the only number he already has memorized a simple dont leave the storage room, Oikawa stuffs his phone away again then with both hands coming to hold the one Dal Dal has on him.
They'll get themselves together, get what they came for, and go back. Things will be fine.]
