a.n I'm so sorry that the first couple of chapters are gonna be bad. I haven't written in a while and just need to get back into it. Just give me three chapters and i promise itll be a little bit better.

Kageyama Tobio P.O.V

Walking down the stairs after exiting the club room, gripping my waterbottle. I scrunched my eyes together, trying to figure out what just happened.

Is Hinata okay?

Why'd the dumbass look like that?

Was he up late practicing?

A whole bunch of questions flowed through my head as I walked towards the gymnasium doors, almost stumbling a couple of times. I walked through the gymnasium doors, the shininess of the freshly polished gym floor almost blinding me. The team looked at me as I walked in, setting my waterbottle down near the door.

"Where's Hinata?" Daichi asked me as he began putting up the net.

"He's.." I began, the image of his face lingering in my head. "he should be here soon."

"Speak of the dev.." Tsukkishima started, before stopping himself.

his gaze was looing right past me, at the gym entrance. soon, everyone elses gazes joined in with his. I turned around to Hinata, his face no different than it was before, the gym lights seemed to help point out the spots where Hinata's purple bags drooped, and his eyes are only a little red from earlier. Hinata leaned down to place his waterbottle next to mine, and as he looked up, almost instantly looking away. it didn't take long for me to notice hinata wearing black sweat pants and a long sleeve sweatshirt.

Hinata Shouyou P.O.V

Fuck, theyre staring at me, I thought as my breath hitched. my eyes dared to close as I tried to keep them open.my position in front of the gym doors didnt move, until a voice called out to me. "dumbass HInata!" a voice I recognized as Kageyama yelled. the word dumbass echoed in my head, as the voice in my head saying it got deeper and deeper, soon, it was the only thing in clouding my thoughts. "Hinata!" Kageyama repeated snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Y-Yes, sorry, um, ill go grab the balls," i managed to stutter as I hurried into the supply closet, keeping my gaze to the floor.

I flipped on the light and placed my hands on the handle of the blue cart that holds the volleyballs. As i started pushing the cart to face the doors, i notice my sleeve starting to slip down my arms, revealing a purple bruise, which is only one out of many. I quickly pulled the sleeve back up before flipping the light switch and closing the supply closet. as I pushed the cart towards the net in the center of the court, I could feel everyone's gazes on me. my breathing begins to speed up little by little as I grip the handle of the cart even more, the chill of the handle going away.

"Hinata," a voice says to me.

a hand is suddenly placed on my shoulder, making me tense up.

"Hinata-Kun," another voice says.

i look up to see Ukai-San and Takeda-Senpai looking at me with worry.

"Are you okay to practice today?" Ukai-San says, taking his hand off my shoulder, causing my body to relax. "We're all worried about you."

"Yes, ill be fine, I can practice," i say, my voice softer than usual. I force a smile, causing the coaches to look at me with even more worry.

"Fine," Takeda-Sensei sighs. "But, if youre gonna practice, take off those sweatpants and that sweatshirt, we don't want you to get heat-exhaustion or something like that."

Ukai-San nodded in agreement.

I wanted to protest to taking them off, but I kept my mouth shut as they walked away, leaving me standing in the middle of the court, everyone still staring at me, as if the gym lights were spotlights, all pointed at me.
