Hinata didn't have the greatest track record when it came to getting lost. It wasn't like he couldn't ever find his way; it was just a little more difficult for him. Natsu always made fun of him for it, but up to this point he hadn't seen a need to change that particular aspect of himself. Once he learned the route, he never forgets it. The part he always left out was that it took him twice as long to learn it.
The building hadn't looked that big so he figured he wouldn't need to inform anyone of his going. This, as it turned out, was not a good idea. He was lost even before he found the bathrooms.
Looking behind him, Hinata saw nothing but more hallway that looked the same as the hallway in front of him. There were a few people milling around but Hinata didn't want to talk to them. They looked scary. Deciding he may as well go forward as back, he set off with more confidence then he felt. Natsu always said if he felt confident about where he was going, he was loss likely to get more lost. He wanted that to be true.
"Walk with confidence, walk with confidence."
So far it seemed to be working. His confidence was waning when the sign for the bathroom appeared like magic.
"Yes!"
Hinata ran the rest of the way to his destination. It was empty when he entered, and he hummed happily. Meeting people in the bathroom was weird.
Thinking the trouble was over, Hinata didn't pay attention when he exited.
"Oof." A wall he didn't remember being there stood in his way.
"Well, well. Can children roam around by themselves?"
"I'm not a child!" Hinata said automatically before fully registering that someone had spoken. He looked up and saw two people looming over him. They wore no uniform and Hinata didn't remember seeing either of them in any of his volleyball video's. Not players then.
"Who're you?"
The darker-haired one chuckled. "Didn't even apologize and now wants to make demands. Not well taught, was he?"
Hinata frowned. "What's my schooling have to do with it? Why're you blocking the bathroom?"
The two began smiling and Hinata didn't like the look of it. They began to draw closer. "Why not?"
Hinata backed against the wall unable to escape the looming wall of intimidation.
"Shorty. You going to apologize?"
"Sorry," Hinata said.
The second smirked. "I don't think he really means it."
"Agreed."
A shiver ran up Hinata's spine and he looked behind the two hoping he saw someone he knew. He'd just gone to the bathroom how had things turned out like this? A hand slammed into the wall beside him. He squeaked and the darker-haired laughed.
"He really is short."
Hinata wanted to talk back but the other's stature and confidence made the words stick in his throat. He glanced at the arm beside him. How did girls find this romantic? It was terrifying.
"Chibi-chan?"
"Yes!" Hinata called eagerly. He didn't know the voice, but anything was better than these two.
