| Ghostly King | [Haikyuu Ghost AU]

[Kageyama's POV]

It was mid December at the time. The snow was falling from the dark sky and the only sources of light were the street lamps that the both of us walked under. Me and Hinata lost track of time while we were practicing. I'm pretty sure it's almost midnight right about now...

"We sure practiced late, huh Kageyama?"

I nodded, "Yeah." I looked at him. He had a small scarf pulled over his mouth and his cheeks were red from the cold. I couldn't help blushing in return, and luckily it was too dark to tell.
He looked really cute at the moment.

Then, I looked down at his bike, "... you don't plan on riding back home on that thing, right?"

"No, my mom already told me not to, but she let me use it this morning. Tomorrow I'm going to be jogging to school! You know, to avoid the ice." He looked at me with a smile.

"Wouldn't want you getting into an accident." I responded, looking at the ground. The thought of him getting badly hurt terrified me. I didn't want him to know that though, he'd just make fun of me being so overprotective.

"Yeah..." His smile faded at the comment. It made me regret saying it. I wanted to see his carefree smile again, like nothing could make him feel sad. I never, ever, want to see him cry.
    We both stopped at the end of the sidewalk, where we go separate ways. It made me sad, that we wouldn't be able to see each other for a long while.
    I looked down at him, "I'll see you tomorrow then..." I wanted to walk home with him. I didn't want to return to my cold and empty household.

"Hey, Kageyama..." He mumbled something inaudible. I could barely hear what he had said even when everything around us was dead silent.

"What?" I asked, leaning closer to him. He moved away quickly.

"... nothing! I'll see you!" He waved before running off with his bike.
It only made me feel worse, thinking that I perhaps scared him off. I wanted to hear what he wanted to say.
I watched him go before walking off as well. I waited at the crosswalk for the light on the other side to turn green.

What was he mumbling?

   I kept thinking to myself, walking across the street.

Maybe he likes me too...

   I made it to the end and continued walking across the sidewalk, getting caught up in my thoughts.

No. He'd never.

   I came to another crossing and began walking once I saw the light across from me turn green. I kept my head down. Just to make sure it was safe to cross, I checked the green light across from me again.

No one loves me. No one ever will.

   Everything around me flashed white.
It took me a moment before I noticed it was coming from right beside me.
I looked up in time to see... a truck.
A very very large truck coming straight at me. It was coming too fast for me to think-...

   Everything went silent after hearing a loud whack, except for the tires that came to a halt. I heard nothing, but I felt pain everywhere. My head felt like it was smashed into pieces. Everything blurred before my eyes finally shut.

Though, I never realized how long my eyes would be shut for.

Months?

Years?

...Forever?
