Koushi woke with a start to the sound of his alarm blaring from his bedside table, bolting upright in bed. Hitting snooze, he laid back down, running a shaky hand through his hair as he recalled last nights dream.

This one hadn't be the same as before, the faces were blurrier and he felt more heavy and sluggish at the start. When he'd looked behind him Koushi had noticed two black wings protruding from his back, a wingspan, from what Koushi had guessed, of up to 180 centimeters, (approx 6 ft.). His wings had been tied back, stopping Suga from using them to break free or stretch them out. Everything felt cramped and and sore, feathers being pulled off violently, one after the other, at a steady rhythm as he thrashed around, struggling to break free. If he thought the dreams were bad before, the recent change had been much harder on him.

When he woke he was covered in a thin sheen of sweat and his throat was raw and eyes red and puffy from crying. He didn't know how much longer he could take the dreams of torture. He'd never been Claustrophobic before, but he was feeling it now.

There was a light knock at the door and a soft gentle voice that followed, "Kou sweetheart, are you up? You don't want to be late on your first day." He could practically feel the underlying worry in her voice. it was there anytime she ever talked to Koushi, as if he might just up and fall apart at any moment in time, though Koushi knew she had a good reason. He'd been having the nightmares for a few months now and sometimes he would scream out in his sleep, so ht mother definitely knew something was up.

He grunted inwardly, stretching out his whole body, trying to rid his body the cramped up feeling that still lingered in his muscles from his dream. He was not ready for school, even if he was going to Karasuno, which he'd dreamed about attending since he was young, there was an uneasy feeling in his chest and he was overly nervous that people would find out his secret, even though he'd applied to the school as a boy.

Koushi had always been conflicted, he wanted nothing other than to spend his life helping people and being around people and yet those same people were the only ones who drove his heart-rate through the roof and caused his small, delicate hands to tremor like an earthquake. He loved people, he wanted to help people and yet, people scared the shit out of him. That's why when a small energetic redheaded boy bounded down the hall directly toward him and Asahi, a bright smile on his face. The boy smiled like the sun and warmth practically radiated from him in waves, his bright hair tossing, glinting in the sun that peeked through the windows, his eyes the colour of molten gold. He was trailed by a much taller man, with dark hair that almost covered his piercing blue eyes, his porcelain skin contrasted his dark hair nicely. The smaller boy tugged the taller one through the hall by his hand, a slight pink brushing the taller mans face at the contact. With one look Koushi could tell that there was something between the two, but then again, Asahi always told him he was a genius when it came to reading people. "Hi!" The smaller boy beamed, coming to a stop in front of Asahi and Suga. "My name is Hinata Shouyou! and this," he gestured to the tall, dark haired man, "is Kageyama Tobio! We're looking for people to help get the Volleyball club back up, would you be interested?"

Hinata smiled like the sun and held our his hand toward Asahi, who looked down at it as if he didn't know what to do. After several reassuring glances from Suga to both Asahi and Hinata, Asahi stuck out his hand back and shook Hinata's. "M-my name is A-Azumane, Azumane Asahi. Nice to meet you" He choked out, moving slightly behind Suga as though hiding behind him. Suga took Asahi's shaking hand in his own gentle ones and used that to try and calm him down. Asahi was never good with people, Suga had only known him a short while but he knew that even though Asahi looked like he could snap you in half at any moment, he was just a giant softie. Suga looked up to realize that Hinata had been staring at him with his head titled slightly to the side, golden eyes filled with questioning. Suga looked down at himself, hoping that his binder was on right and that he was 'passing' and realized that he hadn't looked completely flat as he'd chosen his binder that was slightly looser and made him feel more comfortable as opposed to the one who assured he passed. He quickly regretted that decision. The taller boy, Kageyama coughed slightly as to say, "Someone please say something" and Koushi realized quickly that he'd forgotten to introduce himself. He stuck his hand out to meet the golden boy's, "Oh, excuse me, I'm Sugawara Koushi, btu you can call me Suga! You said something about volleyball?" Koushi reminded, hoping it would force the smaller boy to stop staring at him. When Hinata had heard the word 'volleyball' his eyes immediately lit up and he looked extremely pleased. Suga noted that Kageyama smiled down at the other wile he thought nobody was looking, affection clear in his eyes and a blush creeping its way into his cheeks. Suga also noted that it was the first time that Kageyama had made any other expression except for scowling throughout this whole ordeal.

"Volleyball!! Yes! Azumane-san, we heard that you played as the ace for one of your junior high teams, right!" Hinata squeaked, practically bouncing on the walls in excitement. Asahi mumbled a quiet 'yeah' and nodded, his hand still shaking, it was much too early for Hinata's unusual energy.

"I hope to be the ace too! Will you please teach me Azumane-senpai!" he shouted excitedly, bowing before Asahi.

this time Asahi responded, "Y-yeah okay, i don't see why not." Suga smiled, The '-senpai' must have brought up his confidence a little, maybe this little ball of fire'll be good for him. Suga was still thinking when he heard the red-head call his name.

"You too, Suga-san? You'll join the volleyball club?" Hinata said excitedly, bouncing in anticipation. Suga nodded.

"Yeah, volleyball sounds fun." Koushi smiled his warmest smile and hoped that Hinata didn't expect anything, even though he knew that he was staring quizzically before. Suga mentally shook his head, You'll be fine. What could possibly go wrong?
