♡ Private School | Hinakoma/Komahina | FINISHED ♡

4 | Helping

Hinata was walking through the hallway of the school, bored, when he heard music. It was the violin being played and the musician was undoubtedly Komaeda. He walked towards the room and quietly opened the door. It was indeed Komaeda.

He was playing just as beautifully as when he first showed Hinata his talent. All of a sudden, his teacher slapped his hand with a ruler.

"Ow!"

"Stay focused. Don't make a mistake again,"

"Sorry..." He began to play again. After just a few minutes, the teacher slapped his face with the ruler. "Aahh!" Komaeda cried out in pain.

That was enough. Hinata had to take action.

Komaeda closed his eyes and began to play again until he heard a thud. His teacher was on the floor, unconscious.

"H-huh?!" He shrieked.

Hinata walked away from the room. Komaeda left it and frantically looked around. "H-Hinata-kun!"

"Yeah?" He turned around.

"My teacher just passed out! I-I don't know what's wrong with him!"

The brunet walked into the room Komaeda was practicing in. "I'm sure he'll wake up in a few minutes,"

"How do you know?"

"He doesn't look sick or anything like that. Maybe he was just overworked. Can you go get an ice pack or something? His head must hurt after falling,"

"Yes, of course! I'll be right back!"

While Komaeda was gone, the teacher woke up. Hinata crouched down to him and shot him a death glare.

"Wha... who are you..?"

"Don't hit Komaeda again,"

"Huh... wh-what happened?"

"Don't hit him again. Do you understand?"

"Y-yes..." He shuddered.

Komaeda ran into the room. "I'm back! Ah, you're awake! Here, I brought an ice pack,"

"...thank you,"

"No problem,"

In the evening, all the students ate dinner.

"Did you guys hear what happened to Takahashi's dad?" Souda asked.

"You mean the principal?"

"Yeah. He got beat up badly. Apparently he went into a students room and came out of it bleeding a bit and he had a bunch of bruises,"

"Do you know what student it was?" Nanami asked him.

"Nah. I don't think anyone knows. There was a camera in front of the school with a picture of him entering a room, but you can't see the room number on it. And there's also the one with him leaving it with all the wounds,"

Komaeda could've sworn he saw Kamukura react to that. He wasn't sure what kind of reaction it was though. His facial expression looked strange.

"I wonder what he wanted in a student's room. And why did they fight him about it? And how did their roommate not notice anything?" Nanami listed her questions.

"Maybe they weren't in the dorm at the time." Souda shrugged.

-

"Ha! Uno!" Hinata said, grinning.

"Aw, no fair..." Komaeda sulked.

"I won!" He bragged.

The pale boy sighed. "And I lost. Again... I have such bad luck,"

"Are you sure it's bad luck? Maybe it's just a skill issue,"

Komaeda pouted. "Hey, don't be mean to me!"

"I'm just kidding." Hinata chuckled and began to put away the game.

The pale boy sat down on his bed and sighed again. Hinata looked at him, worried. "Hey, seriously, it was just a joke. Sorry if I hurt you,"

"It's not about that... today has just been a really bad day,"

"What happened?" Hinata asked, sitting down next to him.

"Do you remember what Takahashi-kun said about my parents?"

"That they're dead?"

Komaeda nodded and grabbed a pillow to bury his face in. "I-I just... it happened today... three years ago,"

"I'm so sorry. Do you wanna talk about it?"

"H-he keeps saying it's my fault... i-it isn't... right?" He looked at Hinata with tears in his eyes.

"I'm sure it isn't,"

"W-we were in the car and there was... th-there was a dog that ran in front of the c-car and I shouted th-that it was there... m-my dad did a really strong turn and w-we hit a tree." He began to cry. Hinata wrapped his arms around him and Komaeda cried into his chest.

"That's not your fault. Not at all. And I'm so sorry you had to go through something like that,"

Komaeda whiped his tears. "I-I'm sorry... I don't know why I'm telling you this,"
