KARASUNO'S MANAGER - Haikyu Various

XXVIII. Explain

Hideko walked through the halls as she hums a simple tune.

"Hideko-chan!" She lifts her head to see Semi jogging towards her, waving his hand.

"Semi-san, are you going to the clinic as well?"

Semi shook his head side to side, showing the ice pack he's holding with his other hand.

"I was just there." He smiled at her.

"Ohh. Are you feeling okay? Why are you holding an ice pack? You can stay at the clinic for a few minutes if you want.-"

Semi grinned turning Hideko around with his hand, facing her where she came from.

"I'm all good Hideko-chan. It's for Tendou. His hands took a beating from Seijoh's ace."

"Come on. He needs help." Semi placed his hand at Hideko's back and pushed her to walk forward.

"Semi-Semi is taking his time." Tendo said with a hint of annoyance as he bounce his legs while sitting.

"Settle down, your restlessness won't make him appear all of a sudden." Yamagata says to his friend as he waits for his turn to enter the court.

"He's doing this on purpose! He-"

Tendou whipped his head to the side, surprised to see Hideko laughing while walking beside Semi.

Chibi-chan?

As if Hideko heard his thoughts, the girl looked straight.

"Tendou-san!" Hideko ran towards him, leaving Semi behind.

Tendou grinned and opened his arms, waiting for Hideko to run inside them.

Tendou grinned as he watched Hideko grab his wrists flipping his hands over and over.

How are her hands so soft? Shouldn't it be rough like mine? Not that I'm complaining.
Her hands feels so nice. They're so small compared to mine.

"Earth to Tendou." Yamagata smirked at his friend who continues to stare at the girl who walked away after being called by their coach.

Semi smacked Tendou's back, surprising the boy back to his senses.

"Finally. I was beginning to think your head was hit not your hands." Semi teased the boy as he hands him the ice pack. Tendou looked at them with unamused eyes, grumbling as he walks back to his seat.

"Jerks. You're just jealous because she was worrying over me, not you." Tendou rolled his eyes as he continues to complain under his breath.

Tendou watched Hideko talk to his team's coach, not realizing the small smile he has on his face.

"You took your time." Yamagata chuckled as he and Semi took a sit beside each other.

"Is that a complain I'm hearing?"

"No. Why would I be?"

"Good. Not that I think anyone will complain considering I brought someone with me." Semi smirked crossing his arms over his chest.

"Even coach seems like he's in a better mood." Yamagata shook his head side to side, chuckling. Remembering the sour mood their coach was in when he asked Tendou off the court due to his hands.

Man, we're so whipped. The whole team is. Yamagata and Semi thought as they smirk at each other.

"Kawanishi-san! Hustle! Run after the ball!" Hideko yelled from the side, beside coach Washijō.

Washijō glared at the boy, running his hand down his face.

"Brat." Washijō grumbled under his breath.
