Hinata looked at her grandmother dead in the eye. It was very quiet. No one was really talking but watching what was going to happen. So far nothing has happened which wasn't surprising for them. His grandmother finally sighed.

"Okay Shouyou, don't look at me like your going to kill me because you could get in trouble."He huffed as he slouched on the couch.

"Daddy! Grandma is mean!"He said and grabbed Matsukawas arm who was next to him.

"Can you help me have a tea party? I haven't had that in a while."He asked the male next to him who just nodded.

Hinata held his arms up and then the male picked him up. He carried him to his room and put him down. Hinata went to his closet to dress him and then open the door for him to come in. There was his tea seating in the middle of the closet. The male sat on the small chair with him with a sigh.

They played tea as Hanamaki came in to play with him. The others went since Oikawa told them to leave with a signal of a hand. He was the only one who stayed. Oikawa looked at Hinata's grandmother who looked at the floor with her hands together.

"Is he always like that?"He asked and she shook his head.

"No, he was actually quiet and hid all the time. He never talked to me and ignored my existence."She told him sadly.

He nodded then looked at her. "Did you maybe do something or said something to him before?"

"No...no I haven't. If I did, I would know why. I really am not that old."She said and he nodded his head again.

"Would you like me to talk to him?"He asked and she shook her head.

"No, it's fine."

"I insist. I might find out why he's been acting up with me too. He usually never hated me this bad."He sighed while she raised an eyebrow.

"Fine, but don't get him crying or mad."She told him while he stood up with a hum.

"Alright, I'll be back."She nods as she saw him leave then walked to the cat room.

Oikawa walked into his room then to the closet. He saw them sitting and talking. Hinata laughed and the others were just goofing around. He took out his phone to take a picture of them. He looked at the picture smiling and then put it back into his pocket. He walked to them and gave a grin.

He turned to the others who stared at him. "Just leave for a moment and watch his grandma."

"Shouyou we will be back. Your dad needs our help."He nods smiling and they got up to leave.

Iwaizumi looked at Oikawa for one moment. Hoping the male doesn't do anything stupid or make the child cry. He sighed and left out of the closet. Oikawa took a seat beside Hinata then smiled.

"When I was younger, I used to play tea parties with my sister. I didn't like it very much but now I miss it."He said and Hinata looked at him.

"Well, some say that the more you get older the more you remember the things you hated weren't the worst things you could hate,"Hinata said making Oikawa realize it.

He watched as Hinata put a cup with a plate under it for him. "Oh yeah."

"Can I ask a question?"He nods and looks around.

"No one is here so spill because I don't like you very much."He told Oikawa in a serious tone making the male confused.

"How come you're not very nice to your grandma?"He asked Hinata who froze.

Hinata looked at him for a moment then stared at the table. That was a good question. Why wasn't he nice? He was always mean and never understood her. She was different maybe but not really. She just seemed familiar and he hated it. He hated not knowing what was wrong with her. Just like he doesn't know what's wrong with Oikawa. It's ticking him off.

"I don't know."He said then looked at Oikawa who raised an eyebrow.

"No...no I don't."

"Did anything happen between you and her or what?"He asked and Hinata sighed.

"No, she was nice...she hasn't done anything."He told him making Oikawa confused.

Hinata was lost again. He felt like he was living but not getting to where he was. He felt alone with so many people around him. He didn't know what he was doing or why he was mean sometimes. He didn't know why he was rude to most people.

He looked at Oikawa again. He did remind him of someone, not just him. His grandmother. She reminded very closely to someone he's familiar with and he can't point out what it is. He just doesn't like it at all, nor this feeling. Feeling about someone he knows and wants to be with.

Oikawa kept quiet. He knew Hinata was still thinking. He had no idea what but he knew Hinata was taking his time and didn't mind at all. All he wanted to know why he has a grudge against him and his grandmother.

Hinata figured something, he probably thought of friends but that didn't seem it because they were almost like family. They seemed close but he couldn't tell what it was. He glanced up to look at the dresses.

"My mommy."He said and looked up at Oikawa.

"You and her. You both remind me of my mommy."He said which made him gulp freezing for a moment.

"Everything makes sense, you seem just like her. Before my dad was crazy, she acted just like you and my grandma did. I didn't want to replace her, I didn't like it how it felt familiar to me. I didn't know at first but now I notice a lot more."He explained.

"I don't hate it and I want it but I don't want someone to take my memory of my mommy and replace it even if they look different."He said and Oikawa rubbed the child's back.

"No one is replacing anyone. We are different. I have a different place. We might act the same but that doesn't mean you can change a name from someone just because of the way they act."Oikawa told him making Hinata raise an eyebrow.

"She was your mom and always will be. You don't need to replace her. You just need to know where and how to place people and to keep yourself from thinking that because no matter what, she's always with you and no one can change that. You got that Shouyou?"He asked and he nodded then got up to hug him.

"Thank you Oikawa mama."

"No problem Shouyou."He said smiling as his heart felt warm inside.
