Another Chance? A KinKuniKage story

Chapter 1

        It was a rather normal day of practice, Hinata and I yelling at each other for absolutely nothing important, Daichi and Suga quietly flirting, Tanaka causing trouble while Tsukishima and Yamaguchi teased him, and the other third years quietly watching. I was already getting slightly bored of this whole team's predictability especially since it was only the first few days of being on this team. I wanted anything to happen at this point.
        That's when Taketa sensei ran in waving a sheet of paper “I got one!” he shouted excitedly, “I got us a practice match!” he continued which managed to catch everyone's attention now. I looked at sensei and smiled slightly. I was excited, we would finally be able to play a team where we could use the special quick attack. I was smiling ear to ear, until Taketa told us which team we were playing. “Aoba Johsai!” he said proudly, the school's name ringing in my ears.
        I slowly backed away shaking my head. I could play them. No. Suga would have to play this game, he wasn't ready to face all of them yet. “Their only requirement is that Kageyama..has to play the setter the entire game.” Taketa continued causing the team to go into a frenzy. I had to play the entire time? Across from the people who hate me the most and...them.
        I couldn't face them. I used to love them but they broke my heart. They stomped on it when I needed their support the most. They were the only other people I had back then after Gramps….left. My parents were never around, neither was my sister, so that only left the teammate which I treated like trash. I didn't know any better, my grandpa wasn't there to tell me right from wrong and my parents never really showed me the right way to love people so how was I supposed to know? I wasn't.
        I stood there feeling my eyes burn slightly as tears flooded my vision and threatened to fall. I was so close to braking but Suga had already put a hand on my shoulder.  
        “It's ok Kageyama. We don't have a choice and it gives you a chance to use that crazy quick.” Suga said, his voice laced with honey and kindness, “I believe in you. You can do it.” he said using the two sentences I hadn't heard in a very, very long time. It felt really good to have that Validation so I held my head up high and nodded, any trace of my tears were gone.
        “I will do my best. I promise!” I exclaimed before bowing to him. He tried to tell me to stand up but he earned my respect. My elders usually always had my respect, but Suga, Suga showed me that he trusted me. He trusted me with his starting spot on the team, with his friends, and most of all with his pride. And I was not going to let him down. No matter what.

        It was about an hour later and the team had decided we should all go get meat buns. I found it a rather good idea seeing as I was absolutely starving. I probably would have been able to eat a horse that's how hungry I was. I walked next to Hinata talking to him casually. He like always, was being extremely loud while I just strolled and added to the conversation every now and then. Suga handed me a bag so I took out my favorite kind of meat bun, a curry meat bun. I took a bite with a satisfying hum. Hinata was about to shove his into his mouth when Tsukishima and Yamaguchi walked up causing him to eat normally. He didn't want to look like a fool in front of both of his crushes.
I laugh slightly but too quiet for the team to hear. Hinata leaves my side to take meat buns to both of the boys. He was a blushing mess but I found it kinda adorable how nervous he was around the two best friends. I sighed and began walking away since I knew I would be walking home alone due to Hinata walking the opposite direction and no one was really his friend of the team. 
        As I walked with my head looking up at the gorgeous stars I began to think about what might happen at the practice match. My happiness dulling as I thought of all the things his former best friends and crushes could be saying about him. I truly didn't want to think about it but no matter how much I tried to push away my painful thoughts would come flooding right back without warning. 
        Once I got home I headed straight to my room seeing as yet again my parents were on a business trip. I layed on my bed hoping that maybe I could think of something to entertain me. But like always I fell short so I just took out my homework and headed to my desk to work on it. I hated Japanese. I had no clue how I was failing the class of the language I spoke, I just was. I sighed and was absolutely delighted to see my phone buzzing. 
        I got up and headed to my phone, picking it up only to see Hinata's contact. I chuckled slightly and walked back to my desk. I sat down, put on my straight face and answered the video call. As I sat there Hinata's sad chocolate eyes stared back at me. 
        “What's wrong?” I start with a small sigh. I knew it had to have something to do with a certain pair of someones. Those were his I love them but I can't tell them eyes.
        “I really like them Kags..but...I dont wanna ruin their relationship...there is no way they would like me back…” Bingo. I was right yet again.
     I look at him slightly sympathetically, “Hinata, I'm gonna be honest with you when I say the way Tsukishima and Yamaguchi look at each other is the same way that they look at you.” I said trying my hardest to convince the small tangerine but of course he shakes his head and laughs a bit.
        “Yeah right...you're just saying that to make me feel better.” He mumbles looking down at his hands. I roll my eyes getting tired of getting these calls. If he doesn't believe me then he should just give up and find someone else to love. But...I couldn't say that to him. It was too harsh and I don't want to be the one to break his heart when i'm not even the one he likes.
        “Look Hinata,” I began catching his attention with my calm voice. “You are my best friend. Hell my only friend! Now answer me this, would I really lie to you? Do I even seem like the type to lie about this kind of stuff? Do I even seem like the type of person to lie?” I ask him hoping maybe, just maybe it might get my point across a bit better. And luckily it seems to have worked because he perks right up and smiles.
        “ Right! Sorry, I just get self conscious about that sometimes…” he paused and then went straight faced, “ I'm still not telling them.” and there it is. I knew he would say that. He does this every single time! It's starting to get a little annoying.
        “Fine, fine. But don't come running to me next time you get like this. I won't help again.” I say sternly even though both of us know that I will. I run my fingers through my raven colored hair and yawn. “Well Hinata, I'm gonna head off to bed ok? I'll talk to you tomorrow.” I say with a slight smile my finger hovering over the end call button. 
        “Oki! Well then I'll talk to my tomorrow! Bye Kageyama!” Hinata got in just before I hit the red button and turned off my phone. I sighed getting up and quickly changing out of my volleyball clothes and into my pajamas. I walk over to my lamp turning it off and crawl into bed cuddling into the blankets. 
        I stare at the ceiling thinking about what might happen this weekend at the game. I pray to whatever god is listening that the game won't be awful. I also pray that they also don't hate me anymore. I feel a wave of relaxation wash over me and I take this time to close my eyes and actually fall asleep. The sounds of the world fall away as I drift off into a dreamless sleep.
