Hinata's POV
I felt tired, and really weak.. But I needed to talk to Sakusa. If I could find him. It looked like a maze of cavern down here. I walked quietly, using the stone wall to lean against. I freaked out, really bad, when I saw all the souls wandering around. But, I needed to talk to Sakusa. Or Atsumu. Whoever I find first. Unfortunately, something else found me first.

"Uhm... hi..?" I mumbled, staring up at the legendary Cerberus. All the heads growled at me and I backed up.

"Agh.. please don't kill me..!" I said, the growling stopping when I heard Atsumu's voice.

"At least not yet." I looked over, Cerberus was wandering off as Atsumu walked over to me.

"What are you doing up Hinata? You, look worse." He said as I glanced down. Half my body at this point looked like it was swallowed up in shadows, but I needed something.

"I know.. But, I don't think there's any kinda cure. So... I was wondering if you could... do something for me?? You know, in case this gets worse?" I asked hopeful. Atsumu sighed gently and tilted his head.

"What is it?"

"I want you to find Kageyama... I wanna tell him goodbye." I mumbled, Atsumu smiling faintly.

"What are you going to tell him?"

"..."

"I understand. I'll see if I can find him for you, okay?" Atsumu said, placing his hand on my shoulder. I thanked him as he walked with me back to where I was resting before.

Atsumu's POV
After Hinata was back where he should be, I walked off to go find something to try and track down Kageyama. I opened a back entrance of the underworld where we kept hell hounds. They were kind of violent but Sakusa and I could handle them. They were magnificent trackers. Normally they tracked and found the dying but surely they could find living too.

"Atsumu, what are you doing?"

"Hinata asked me to go find Kageyama for him."

"What for?"

"He didn't say exactly, well actually he said he wants to tell him goodbye in case he uh.. doesn't make it."

"Atsumu you shouldn't be wandering where you don't know where you're going."

"I'm doing it for Hinata. Besides, he loves Kageyama."

"Does he now?"

"Yeah. And I know if I was dying, I'd wanna say goodbye to you." I said, Sakusa smiling faintly. He walked over, giving me a gentle kiss.

"You spent 500 years convincing me to be yours. You better say goodbye."

"Would you say goodbye?"

"Of course I would." He said, making me smile. I hooked leashes onto 2 hell hounds as they pulled and sniffed around.

"Well thank you. I've gotta hurry and find him. I hopefully shouldn't be long." I said, Sakusa nodding and patting the hell hound's heads. I took them outside and looked around. Thankfully it's night. I pointed up at the moon, the hell hounds sniffing the air before nearly dragging me off my feet running. Hopefully they already got a scent.

Kageyama's POV
I sat on the ground quietly, the Nightmare grazing peacefully. I stared up at the moon. I was tired. I wanted to sleep. But I wanted Hinata back more, so I'd stay awake to find him. I was just, just taking a little break for now. The Nightmare made some noise and I heard rustling. But the Nightmare didn't seem frightened. It sounded like a dog. I turned my head, seeing a faint red glow that was inches from my face.

It snarled at me, but didn't harm me. It sniffed my clothes and hair carefully before making a small whine. I know exactly what you are. You're a manifestation of my anger towards the people of Athens and my father. Years ago, I was angry at the people for fearing me instead of loving me. And I was so angry at my father for abandoning me right after I was born. I knew who he was, he was a god as well. But he was never around.

"Hello, Fenrir." I said, reaching out and placing my hand on his nose.

I sighed gentle when he laid down and placed his massive head on my lap

I sighed gentle when he laid down and placed his massive head on my lap. I pet his head quietly, running my fingers through his fur. He was a lot softer than I remembered. He's been hunted so many times, he had scars all over him. I could feel the scars on his skin under his fur. He was a creature of legend. And the people feared him like they fear me. That's why he's been hunted for centuries. Generations of Athens people have tried, but he can't die.

"What are you doing here?" I asked, Fenrir giving a small whimper as I smiled faintly. I never really interacted with the creatures I created. Well, they were all created by accident but, I knew each one. At least I believe so. Fenrir was made of anger, but he just wanted to be loved. Nightmares could cause a human a scary nightmares just by looking at them, but all they wanted was to be praised for their beauty.

I sighed, clicking my tongue. Fenrir got up and laid down, so I moved until I was resting against his side. He was soft, and I fear if I stayed like this I'd fall asleep. But I can't fall asleep at night anyway. But I almost didn't have the strength to get up. It was warm. It was like when Hinata would lay with me at night. But he'd glow a lot more. And he'd ramble on and on about things that I didn't know existed.

While I thought of Hinata, I slowly laid my palm flat in my lap. I used my other hand, tracing all the constellations Hinata showed me. Yamaguchi must be very creative to come up with all of these. And Hinata was so kind as to take the time to trace each one on my hands for me. And they all felt like they'd be beautiful.
