Daisy chains. || A Kagehina fanfic

A winter morning.

It was cold that morning.

Frost laid still on the ground glistening in the winter sun. The morning birds chirped as he slowly opened his eyes. Sitting up was painful. By now he could feel the plant inside of him that kept growing by the second.

He had almost forgotten it was monday. Hinata had left him a note at the end of the bed saying he would check up on him at lunch time. But he would be gone by then.

The plant inside of him was like a ticking time bomb. After the last firework he felt a sudden urge to kiss Hinata. As if it was the last time he would see him.

But he held himself back. If his heart was broken anymore than it already was he knew it would destroy him.

He let himself fall back onto the bed one last time before he rummaged around his draw to find a pen. Then he ripped out a piece of paper from his sketch book. As soon as the pen hit the page he began writing everything he was feeling. He didn't know if any of it made sense and he didn't care.

About ten minutes passed before he placed the letter in a blue envelope sealing it with some tape. He left it on his bed and then reached for a small cardboard box. He placed it on the blanket then took one last look back at the room before he slipped on his shoes and left.

Kageyama didn't want to ponder there for too long. He knew he would get attached if he did. Breathing was so hard now. Sometimes he had to stop and balance on the walls to hold himself upright. God it hurt.

He allowed his feet to carry him not exactly knowing where they were taking him. At one point he collapsed on the ground only just managing to keep himself conscious. After a while of falling and gathering himself over and over again he came to a sudden halt.

The sound of a distant waterfall and a light breeze. His feet crunched against the icy floor before he collapsed onto the ground for the final time.

"𝑂𝑓 𝑐𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑠𝑒."

He thought to himself then smiled. Of course he had ended up here. He no longer had the strength to lift himself up. Instead he allowed his face to press against the frost. His breaths were becoming slower it felt like he was drowning. The breeze washed over him sending chills throughout his body.

As soon as his vision began to blur and the sky began to fade he mustered up enough strength to quietly whisper.

"𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑘𝑦𝑜𝑢."

The colours of the horizon seemed to change as he forced a few more strained breaths.

"Hinata!"
A voice called after him just as he was about to enter class.

"Tsukishima?"
They hadn't spoken in a really long time but he looked visibly panicked. A state Hinata had never seen him in.

"Can you check on Kageyama for me I think he's sick."

Hinata felt his stomach sink. Now he had this horrible feeling as if something terrible was about to happen.

"I knew it."

He muttered before taking off back to the dorms.

He was running so fast not knowing exactly why. As he burst through his apartment door he immediately noticed the missing pair of shoes. Then the blue envelope on Kageyama's bed alongside the shoe box. His eyes began to swell up with tears as he ran back out the door.

"Shoyo!"

A concerned voiced called from behind him. But he didn't even acknowledge it. Everything that wasn't his thoughts had been reduced to static buzzing in the background.
