Cheeky

CHEEKY: HINATA SHŌYŌ

Note: For this, pretend you're a bit shorter than the ball of energy, m'kay? And also, you're part of the school's orchestra and you play the violin :)

"Hinata! Focus here!" Kageyama's voice boomed inside the gym as they both practiced their oddball quick strike for the upcoming practice match against Aoba Johsai. It was currently lunch time so I decided to tag along with Hinata instead of going with my other friends since I was interested in what watching Hinata play volleyball along with Kageyama.

I watched from the sidelines as they attempted to perform the move one after the other. I admired at their determination to perfect it and I also admired at how focused they were in doing their craft.

Me? Huh. The only thing-rather, person-I could focus on was none other than the little ball of energy, Hinata Shōyō. He always knew the right words to say whenever I'm down, whenever I was embarrassed or something.

In short, he was a man of words-in my opinion, of course. He may not have the widest vocabulary but he knew how to comfort me at the right times. Also, his cheeky personality adds to his convincing talent making his words sound more trusting than they should.

The bell signaling that lunch was over rang inside my ears. I quickly finished the remaining bits of my lunch then packed my bento and wrapped it in my cream colored cloth.

"Hinata-kun!" I called out to him. He turned around and smile cheekily at me then walked over to me. "You go on ahead, (F/N)-chan! I'll just follow after," he cheerily informed. I nodded then walked out of the gym and proceeded to get to class on time.

Orchestra rehearsals were really tiring and by the time we were done, my fingers were filled with bumps and lines from holding the strings of the violin in place to create the melodious sound I've come to love.

I packed my stuff up before carefully placing my violin back inside my case when---

BAM!

"(F/N)-chan!!!" Hinata's voice rang inside the empty music room. I yelped then almost lost my grip on my violin but with the help of my reflexes, I was able to hug it immediately before it came crashing on the ground. My heart was beating wildly inside my chest as I clutched on my violin as if a single step was enough to break it.

"(F/N)-chan, are you---"

"No! Don't come near me, Hinata! Y-You almost made me d-drop my violin!" I stood up and placed my violin back in its case. I felt my lips quiver as I shakily grabbed my things before running out of the music room, his voice calling out my name and apologies echoing down the empty halls of school.

The next day, I did my best to avoid Hinata in school but it was a bit hard seeing that: a) he was my seat mate; b) his overflowing aura of sunshine, daisies, and rainbows affects me and c) he was also my partner for a project in music class.

The joys of having him as a friend. And also, as a crush.

I walked quickly down the corridors in hopes to hide from him since I knew that Hinata was everywhere. There was no escaping him; his gaze, his voice and of course, his aura.

As I turned a corner, I bumped into someone making me fall on the floor butt first. I looked up to who the culprit is and saw the boy I've been avoiding the entire day.
