Numbers Never End

Chapter 3

- Kageyama's P.O.V - 

"Why did I do that?" I mumbled, sitting on the ed where he once was, "He looked so scared and hurt... What is he not telling us?" 

xXx

Taking a few minutes that felt like hours to collect myself, I finally went downstairs to see if Hinata was drinking with the others.

"Hey guys, have you seen Hinata?" I questioned standing behind the group who were no longer drunk, just hungover. 

"Hinata? He told us that he was going on a walk. He said that he would be back in an hour." Asashi said, looking up at me.

"Guys it's midnight! Almost one! What were you guys thinking? How long ago did he tell you that?" I shifted from foot to foot, nervous for that little ball of sunshine.

"Well he told us at 12:50 and it's now currently 2:00" Asashi said as he looked at his phone, checking the time.

"What?!? He's been gone for at least an hour! We have to go looking for him!" I yelled, grabbing my shoes and quickly putting them on.

"Whats so important about finding him? He's practically a man, he can take care of himself!" Noya spoke loudly.

"B-But I..." I stuttered, not wanting to admit what I did, but I had to come clean, "I-I hit him because I was angry towards him for no reason!"

"What?!?" Suga yelled, standing up, his motherly instincts kicking in, "We have to go find him!" 

Everyone was shocked from what I did to Hinata, besides Bokuto who didn't know Hinata as well as we did. But nevertheless everyone followed Suga's footsteps, not questioning anything.

"We're going to need to split up into groups, but you Bokuto can join Daichi." Suga started to explain.

"What?!?! How come I have to be with Daichi?" Bokuto interrupted Suga to complain. 

"Well you don't have everyone's numbers and with everyone splitting off into separate directions, the only way to contact each other if we find Hinata is to call one another." Suga explained again, going into detail.

I nodded, eager to find Hinata and never let go of him ever again. "I'm sorry Hinata, I regret hitting you. I'm sorry if I, when I find you I promise never to never let you go again." I though as I looked up at the inky black sky. The only light sources that we could rely on was the crescent moon, the shining stars and our flashlights.

I wandered the highway, calling out Hinata's name in hope that if he hears me, he might call back.  But even if he does hear me I doubt he would answer back after what I did to him. I wouldn't blame him.

After what seemed like hours of yelling, which it probably was, out Hinata's name I began to give up. My voice was hoarse and I saw no signs of Hinata.  Until I saw the colour orange in the horizon, the same colour orange as Hinata's hair.

Using the last of my voice I yelled out his name as I began to run to get closer to him, "Hinata!!"

"K-Kageyama?" Hinata's voice wavered as I ran up to him. I noticed that he wiped away his tears that slowly fell down his face.

"Hinata... Hinata, I found you, I found you. Thank God." I panted, tired, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, please forgive me. I was and am an idiot."

"I-I'm sorry Kageyama..." Hinata hugged me, "I forgive you..." His voice was raspy, just like my own voice. He was crying, so that was a possible reason for why his voice was raspy.

"Come on Hinata..." I grabbed his hand and squeezed it, "Everyone is worried sick about you! Why did you want to go on a walk this late?"

Hinata's eyes widened, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make everyone worry about me... I-I guess I lost track of time... A-And I'm from the less populated areas so I guess I'm used to seeing the stars and having fresh air. I guess I just miss that. 

Lies, when will Hinata stop telling me lies, when will he actually tell the truth? But seeing Hinata like this, scared, tired and alone, I no longer cared if Hinata was lying, all I cared about was if he was safe, but just because he was missing the stars and fresh air was not why he wanted to go on a walk this late, it was because of me. It was because of me hitting him. I was the problem. 

"I accept you apology, now let me call the others to let them know that I found you and that you're safe.  Then we can go back home." I pulled out my phone and began to call the others, still holding Hinata's hand.

After a few phone calls we started our long trek back to home. Though even though we barely started to walk, I could tell that Hinata was tired.

"Hinata, are you tired?" I looked down at the small ginger who's eyes were closing every so often. 

"Y-Yea, but I think I can make it back home before falling asleep." Hinata mumbled and sub-cautiously leaned up against me.

"Tsk." Sighing I stopped walking and picked up Hinata, "I'll just carry you then, it wouldn't be that hard just to care you." When I did pick him up he weighed almost nothing, was he eating properly? Was he eating period?

"B-But Kageyama...!" Hinata started to protest.

"No buts, I know how tired you ware. Just try to get a little sleep, please." I spoke, almost begging.

"Fine, but promise me you'll wake me up once we get home?" Hinata mumbled, finally settling down, placing his face on my back. 

"I promise, now sleep." I looked over my shoulder to find Hinata already fast asleep. 

xXx 

"Thank God you found him!" Suga said as soon as I walked in with a sleeping Hinata on my back. 

"Shh... He's asleep, I'm going to go put him to bed and maybe got to bed myself, good night Suga." I said as I started to make my way up the stairs to our bedroom. "I promised that I would wake him up once we came back, but I think I'll just wake him up tomorrow morning, he needs the rest. I don't think he has been getting proper rest so I'll just let him sleep." 

"Very well, good night Kageyama," Suga spoke softly careful not to wake up the sleeping Hinata.
