Gasping for you

Karasuno was against Aoba Johsai in a heated match. The ravens were winning. And for a rare chance, Yamaguchi was playing. Toru Oikawa stepped forward, his grip on the ball firm enough to almost burst it. Aoba Johsai was behind 4 points, and with each second, fury grew inside him. The ball was tossed into the air before being battered down- but It was sloppy.Toru hadn't aimed properly, and so Tadashi was caught in the direct line of the ball. He watched in slow motion as the sphere plunged past his arms by mere millimetres, and directly into his chest, knocking him back. Air left his lungs sooner than the ball left his body, which plunged to the floor as the ball circled up again. He was numb but at the same time his chest hurt indescribably. He gasped for air, clutching his chest. His ears rang loudly and he could barely hear the ball being passed, and Takeda's voice approaching him. But he didn't matter in the long run. The ball was still being passed. The match was the priority and he wasn't going to let his accident cost the team- no matter how much pain he was in. It was just a bruise at worst, he thought. But was it such a minor accident?
