I lay awake on my mattress, my mind still very much active despite the fact that today was a tiring day. But, my mind was active because thoughts overwhelmed it. Thoughts of the events that had occurred before, when Hinata had gone to get a drink

I can't believe I stood there and heard him moaning. Let alone get a boner. Ugh, I'm straight! Get it through your thick skull Kei! Seriously... I'm becoming weird...

I was just about to leave when I suddenly heard Hinata let out a sob. Curious, I peered over him and see tears flowing out of his closed eyes. Is he crying in his sleep?

"Oy, Hinata?" I ask in a whisper tone as I gently shook him. He suddenly jolts awake which startled me a little. His breathing was heavy and tears still kept strolling down his cheeks. "Hinata hey, it's ok. It's just me." I say reassuringly.

He glances up at me and I was all of a sudden pulled into a tight embrace. I sat there awkwardly as he cried. Was his nightmare that bad?

Knowing that if we made anymore noise it'd cause someone here to wake up and make a ruckus. Most likely Nishinoya-san and Tanaka-san. Although Daichi-san and Sugawara-san would definitely freak if they see Hinata crying.

So I pick up the little tangerine, who was still crying in my arms, and walked out of the building and to the back.

--

"Hinata, what's wrong?" I finally ask as I sit down on a crate that I had grabbed from the top of the stacked boxes next to the ladder. The tangerine sat on my lap, gripping on my shirt as he continued to soak it with his tears. "Did you have a nightmare?" I ask gently.

"I-I..." he choked out and I sat there rubbing his back, drawing circles, and rested my chin on his head. I didn't want to force the answer out of him, unlike all the other times, so this time I was more cautious and patient; to let him answer when he's ready.

"S-Someone I r-really w-wanted to f-forget about c-came b-back...!" His voice cracked. "A-After what he d-did to m-me I feel disgusted at myself!!"

My ears perked at the mention of the person doing something to him. I got my suspicions but I didn't want to jump to conclusions so I asked, "what did they do to you? D-Did they hurt you?"

"T-They touched me... t-they sexually touched m-me a-and I... I..." now he was crying even more and my suspicions were confirmed. Now I'm not sure if I should mention the name to Hinata. "I-I had a nightmare about him... h-he attacked me a-and f-forced himself onto me... t-then his friends j-joined and all y-you guys left me!!"

Hinata cried even more and I frowned. "Hinata-"

"I-I hate myself!! I let him touch me again!!" Hinata cried, cutting me off. I didn't even say what I was going to say, instead I froze at what the tangerine just said.

"W-What do you mean 'again'?" I suddenly asked and mentally slapped myself for asking such a shitty question.

"H-He went to my m-middle school..." Hinata began as he attempted to wipe away the tears on his face but more kept coming, "he was the first person I e-ever loved and... w-we got together, b-but he u-used me and t-toyed with me."

Anger began to build up in me. I had no idea why but the thought of him and Hinata being together angered me, not only that the things he did to Hinata. No one has the right to be treated like that, especially Hinata. He's been through enough.

I'm really ready to punch this guys teeth in, alright.

"I hate him!" Hinata cried pounding his fists against my chest, which didn't hurt. His hits became softer and softer and he sniffled, "b-but... I h-hate myself more for even f-falling for him in the first place..."

Without even thinking I grab his shoulders and push him away, so I could look at him directly in his beautiful eyes. "Hinata Shoyo!" I say in a confronting manner. It hurt, seeing those tears staining his beautiful and adorable face. "Don't you ever say that!! Sure you fell in love but you can't help it. It's what makes you human!"

I wipe away his tears with my thumbs and look down. "Don't hate yourself and don't ever think badly of yourself. Everyone here thinks your amazing! Heck your smile alone can light up the whole room!" I say and smile a little. "It would hurt everyone seeing you like this, even me."

Hinata glances down and he rests his head against my chest with his arms wrapped around me. I didn't really understand why he was hugging me, why heart was beating so fast and why I could feel heat rushing to my face, but I just returned the gesture.

After a moment of a comfortable silence, with Hinata's sobs slowly dying down, I looked down at him seeing that he was still hugging me. "Do you want to go back inside?" I ask playing with his orange hair, which I must say is very fluffy and soft. He gives a small nod and I smile.

He clung to me like a koala clinging to a gum tree. I had one arm supporting him just in case he falls and I walked back into the building and bedroom as quietly and quickly as possible. Hinata then got off of me and lay down on his mattress.

I did too as well and I wrap myself in my blanket.

"Thank you Tsukki..." I hear Hinata mumble.

Before I could say anything else he unexpectedly hugs me, once again, before turning away from me. I smile a little and turn away, "no problem," I began, "and goodnight Hinata." I slowly drift off into a deep slumber with my smile still on my face.
