Hidden in Plain Sight | Abused Hinata AU

}{}{ Asahi's POV, 6:32 AM }{}{

I had met Hinata Shōyō, the 5'3 boy. I couldn't believe it. It was him. How in the hell did he manage to burn a volleyball? I walked over to Suga and Daichi, lost in thoughts. "What do you guys think of Hinata," I asked, getting an odd stare from Suga. "He's a good kid; he just needs some basic volleyball training," Daichi chuckled. Suga agreed. "I feel like he's hiding something, big," Suga looked at me, wondering what was racing through my mind to say something like that. "Why do you think that, Asahi?" Suga was already getting defensive about his children since he was the "mother" of the team. " I-I don't know, but something is bothering me, and I don't know what it is," I said quietly, overhearing Noya and Hinata's conversation. "I'll be going," I said, walking over. "I'd like to see you jump also," I told Hinata, as he agreed but was wary. I watched as he bent down, only expecting him to jump a little higher than my height, but to my surprise, he rocketed up into the air and landed on the metal platform. I watched his odd behavior as he jumped down suddenly and ran out, grabbing his bag. 

What the hell is happening here?! And how did he jump THAT high? I'm starting to get suspicious of him, but I can't show it. I just need solid evidence and a hypothesis. I just need a shred of evidence or even a slip up of him. But I need him to trust me so I can dig further into this. How can I do this- I was cut off from my thoughts, seeing the boy reappear after a few minutes, walking into the gym as if nothing happened. I looked at the small boy enjoying chatting with the 2nd and 3rd years, not wanting to disrupt his valued time with the team. Though, the thought of the small boy hiding something wouldn't clear from my mind. 

What was the little guy hiding, and why? I needed answers soon, or I'd go mad. Should I wait it out and maybe let him tell us on his own? Nah, dammit. What should I do? I was quickly cut off with Tanaka's hand resting on my shoulder, "you good, bro? You seem lost in thought," Tanaka said, looking up at me. "Oh, I'm fine. Just thinking about some stuff," I said, scratching my neck. "Alright," Tanaka said, worried as he took his hand off, walking back to the court. What to do. What to do...
