Hinata's team wasn't doing too good. Matter of fact, they were getting slaughtered. But no matter how many times he got blocked or knocked down, Hinata did not give up. And that was the most admirable thing about him.

Before I knew it, it was the second set and the opponent had 24 points, while we had 7.. We lost the first set too. All it took was one point, and we were done.

No, the game isn't over yet..!

Suddenly in the blink of an eye, Hinata was in the air on the opposite side of the court he was on. Here it is, his special move!

His opponents stared at him shocked as he spiked the ball so hard, Hinata flew into some tables. My breath hitched and it felt like my heart fluttered out of my chest watching his spike. I was short on oxygen. Lost for words. I haven't felt that feeling in a long time. Not since I started basketball..

As I was about to stand up and cheer, the referee blew the whistle.

"Out of bounds..?" I whispered to myself looking at his hand motions. We lost.. I sighed as I made eye contact with Hinata, giving him a encouraging smile to try cheering him up but I know it wouldn't work. I know the feeling to well from when I first started basketball..

The teams lined up and thanked each other for the game. God I fucking hate that school, Kitagawa First. Even their girls basketball team gave me a run for my money. And I'm sure it wont be any better next year when we are in high school and they are all going to their sister school, Aoba Josai.

"Hinata hey you did-" interrupting me trying to comfort him, Hinata pulled me into a hug. His head was rested on my shoulder and I could hear him lightly sobbing. I was shocked. I've never seen Hinata this vulnerable. It was upsetting me too.. I returned the hug. I felt a pair of eyes digging into the side of me. I turned my head only to see the King of the Court, Kageyama staring at us. He looked annoyed.

"Kageyama, let's go!" one of his teammates yelled.

"Y-Yeah just give me a sec!" Kageyama sat down on the bleacher bench and dug through his duffel bag.

Hinata pulled out of my embrace and smiled. His eyes were red from crying but besides that, he looked completely fine. He probably didn't want to cry in front of everyone cause now, he looks.. Happy even. Hinata bowed to me and I looked at him shocked. His friends who played with him did the same. A embarrassed tint of red filled my face as I rubbed the back of my neck.

"Thank you for coming and supporting us!" they all yelled simultaneously. I felt multiple eyes fall on me which made me feeling even more embarrassed.

"Yeah n-no problem now go change!" I pushed them all in the direction of the boys bathroom and they hurried away. I sighed and sat down on the bleacher. I pulled out my phone and went on Tik Tok to pass time.

"So what? Your shortie's girlfriend or something?" I looked next to me and realized I sat on the same bench as Kageyama without realizing. He stared at me, waiting for an answer.

"What? No what's it to you?" I raised an eyebrow at him and he tensed up.

"Nothing I just figured since he hugged you and all." he said as he continued digging through his duffel bag.

"So a hug means I'm dating him?" I asked him in a sarcastic tone and he looked at me as if I was the stupid one.

"O-Of course not!"

An embarrassed look filled his face as he realized how loud he yelled in an almost silent gym.

"S-Sorry.." he grumbled so low I almost couldn't hear him.

"Huh?" I asked.

"I-I said I'm sorry..!" he whisper yelled at me.

"K." I said blankly as I looked back down at my phone and he looked at me confused.

"K?" he repeated my words in a questioning tone. I rolled my eyes and looked back up at him.

"Look, it's not a big deal. But as long as you got a problem with Hinata you got a problem with me alright? Sorry but he's my best friend. I'm not gonna be buddy buddy with my best friend's rival." I saw Hinata enter the gymnasium and wave me over. I recollected myself then stood up to leave. I felt Kageyama's angry glare stare at me again.

"Fine it's not like I wanted to be your 'buddy buddy' anyway, do what you want screw you!" he yelled behind me and I took a deep breath.

Damn, he actually seemed kinda cool too..

Me, Hinata and his teammates all went for ice cream then they went home, leaving only me and Hinata. I tiredly put my head on his shoulder as I took a sip of my chocolate milkshake. I ran my hand through his ginger hair once, slightly messing it.

"Shoyo.." he looked down at me, shocked I used his first name. I only really do when I'm serious, and this is one of those times.

"Uh yeah?" he nervously asked. I sighed. I cannot believe I was about to say this.. I looked up at him and we made eye contact.

"When we get to high school, I'll play Volleyball."
