The Captain's Sister (Hinata ShoyoxReader)

9 || Secrets

There was practice after school, so you decided to walk with Hinata since you shared your last class together. You were surprised he didn't run right past you to beat Kageyama, but you didn't complain. Walking to the gym, you mainly talked about volleyball.

"Hinata-kun, I have a question" you stated.

Hinata froze and turned a bright red. You stopped and turned to him with a worried and confused expression.

"Hinata-kun?"

'She...she called me -kun! She didn't use -san, she used -kun! We're getting closer!' Hinata thought excitedly.

He was pulled out of his thoughts by you waving your hand in front of his face. He continued walking with you and smiled as a reassurance.

"Sorry, (Y/n)-chan. What were you saying?" he asked.

"I just wanted to know if you needed any help with homework? I-I don't want you missing out on a volleyball event or something because of your grades" you answered.

"Yo-You'd really do that, (Y/n)-chan?!" he yelled out.

You chuckled and nodded.

"Of course! We are friends, after all"

Hinata nodded excitedly and you soon arrived at the gym. You didn't know why, but seeing his precious smile made your heart flip. Hinata ran off to change, and as you were about to enter the gym, a rough and calloused hand harshly grabbed your forearm and dragged you away.

"E-Ehh?! What- T-Tsukishima-san?" you paused your freak out when you realized who it was.

After deciding you didn't want to die while trying to fight the beanpole, you allowed him to drag you elsewhere. You ended up on the side of the gym, against the wall and out of sight. Tsukishima towered over you, a scary look in his eyes.

"T-Tsukishima-s-san?" you asked nervously.

One look. That was all it took for him to shut you up. You felt your heart rate increase by the second; so fast that you were sure it would explode out of your chest. You found it harder to breathe the longer you two stood like this. To say you were nervous was an understatement. You were absolutely terrified.

Terrified of what he might do to you. Of course, you didn't think Tsukishima would do anything sexual to you without your consent; that wasn't what you were afraid of. No, what scared you most was that, girl or not, Tsukishima won't hesitate to break your arm if you so much as looked at him the wrong way.

You were shaking in your shoes, hoping he wouldn't do anything like that to you. However, the longer he just stood there and did nothing, the more you became afraid. When he finally took a deep breath in, you squeaked and your body tensed up, squeezing your eyes shut.

"You can relax. I just....I want to talk about... something" Tsukishima spoke.

Cautiously, you opened one eye, then the other. After a minute, your body relaxed you fully faced him. A small smile graced his lips for just a moment and you could've swore there was a sort of tenderness in his eyes, but his stoic expression showed before you could even get a full glance.

"U-Uhm, yo-you said you want to...to talk?" you stuttered with a small voice.

He took one good look around the area surrounding you before leaning into your ear. You could feel his warm breath as he spoke, his voice barely audible.

"I....I think I.....er-...." his voice grew agitated.

"Shit, I think I love Tadashi!" he raised his voice a little, earning a flinch from you.

Then you froze, your eyes wide and mouth agape. Tsukishima also widened his eyes once he realized what he had just said.

'Shit! Shit! Shit! That wasn't what I was supposed to say! I was supposed to say I like him, not love! That's a whole different level than just a crush!' he inwardly panicked.

He groaned in annoyance and banged his head against the wall next to you, though not hard enough to get a concussion. His forearms rested on the wall above your head, and to anyone else in this school, it really didn't look right. And unbeknownst to you, someone was watching the whole scene play out.

"You really mean it?!" you exclaimed, despite his ear being right next to your mouth.

"Shut up!" he groaned.

"Really?! You lo-mgfhm" your voice was muffled by Tsukishima's hand.

He now held his face in front of yours, and the look he wore said 'tell anyone and I'll kill you'. You gulped and held your fangirling in. Ever since you had first met Yamaguchi and Tsukishima, you'd been secretly shipping them. Now, all you needed to do was to make sure Yamaguchi liked Tsukishima back, which you thought he already did.

"Swear on your life, that you won't tell anyone about this. Not even your brother" Tsukishima demanded, pausing between each word.

You nodded, and he pulled his hand away from your mouth warily. After a minute of you remaining quiet, he lowered his hand all the way and took a few steps back. Running a through his hair, he let out a large sigh. It felt as if a heavy weight had been lifted from his shoulders. He finally revealed his childhood secret: Tsukishima Kei was in love with Yamaguchi Tadashi.

"Uh- anyways, w-we should probably h-head back. Practice should've started by now" you announced.

Without saying another word, Tsukishima left. You stayed behind for a minute to catch your breath, also not to look suspicious. After calming your heart from its rapid beating, you straightened up and dusted off your clothes. Taking a deep breath, you walked inside, leaving the unknown viewer of the situation all alone.

Sniffling, Yamaguchi stepped out of a clump of bushes. From where he was hiding, it looked like you and Tsukishima were making out. His heart felt heavy. Whatever Tsukishima had told you, it clearly made you happy. He's never seen you get that excited before, which only made the freckled boy feel worse.

The girl he liked, and the only girl he was sure actually payed attention to him instead of Tsukishima, had chosen his best friend over him. Yamaguchi mentally scolded himself for thinking you were different than all the other girls who used him just to get to Tsukishima. But, that also sparked something inside of him.

"I...I won't lose to you, Tsukki!" he exclaimed to no one.

After hearing Daichi loudly ask where he was, Yamaguchi yelped and ran to the gym.
