No One But You [Kageyama x reader]

Chapter 10

(Kageyama's POV)

It's been a week since (y/n)'s suspension. We haven't talked at all. The only time we did was when I would bring her homework to her. Even then she didn't say anything or even try to have a conversation. I would text her and she never replied. She's ignoring me. It's very easy to see. But why? And why do I care some much?

I feel this weird emptiness inside, making everything boring. I want to ask Sugawara what's going on but that would make me seem like I like her or something. Do I? People don't come easy to me. I can't read emotions or hints. I've just never been able to. Is that bad? It's not like I ever need to. I mean, if people wanted me to know something wouldn't they tell me?

I should at least ask Sugawara if she's okay. I don't care if it's weird. I told her all I care about is if she's okay. I don't care if people think there's something more than a friendship. As long as we know we are just friends I shouldn't care what others think.

I still get stares in class. People talk, so most of our grade knows what happened. I wouldn't be surprised if the second years are hearing about it. The girl (y/n) hit hasn't shut up about what happened. Calling (y/n) even worse names than just 'slut'. I can't do or say anything to make all of this stop. (Y/n)'s seat is always empty and it feels unfamiliar. The walk to the vending machine is so quiet and boring.

"Sugawara," I walk up to Sugawara after practice while every one of cleaning up.

"Yeah? What's up?" He says turning around smiling brightly at me. I'm nervous for whatever reason. My hands are clammy and I have to wipe them on my shirt.

"Uh- Is (y/n) okay?" I ask after staring at the floor longer than needed. Sugawara looks at me confused and concerned. He sighs and looks at the floor, almost giving a look of defeat.

"I'm not sure anymore," he says quietly. I wasn't expecting him to be so honest with me. "Let's talk outside." He says walking to the door. I follow him feeling so nervous and afraid of what he might say.

"Did something happen to her?" I ask starting to panic. What if she got in an accident? What if she ran away? I tighten my grip on the bottom of my shirt trying to stay as calm as possible.

"No. It's just she's been in her room all week. Barely comes out for anything. She won't let me go into her room either. I was kind of hoping you would know what's wrong," he confessed. He looks so worried and almost afraid. Like each sentence he says break his heart more and more. His words have the same effect on me. I don't know how to react. For one, I still barely know her, but after just one week I have grown addicted to her. But now she won't talk to me and it seems like she's not talking to anyone.

"Oh." Is all I can really say. Say something else. "Is there anything I could do to help?" I ask looking into Sugawara's eyes. They're filled with worry. He looks up at me almost surprised I want to help. For a second I see a spark of hope in his eyes, but it doesn't stay for long.

"How 'bout you come home with me. I have an idea," he says forcing a smile. "I'm not sure it will work but it's all I have right now." I nod and we start heading to the parking lot.

The car ride is silent. Neither of us says a word. I still have no idea what he means by "I have an idea" because he hasn't told me about it at all. I want to help, but I don't know the first thing about what I should do or say. I don't want to let Sugawara down. It almost pains me to look into his eyes.

Once we arrived at their house we got out and walked to the door. It's dark outside and the stars are shining bright. We walked inside, took off our shoes, and made our way to the kitchen. The smell of the house is familiar and welcoming. Sugawara tells me to wait in the kitchen while he goes into the hallway where their rooms are. I wait sitting at the counter bouncing my leg nervously.
