Hiding The Pain

Chapter 3

3rd POV

Twenty minutes into practice and Hinata wasn't sure how much longer he could hold out. His vision was mostly black and everything sounded like he was underwater, his pain levels had reached the point he couldn't even make a cry for help if he had wanted to and he could see he was getting looks from the others as he panted heavily, heart thumping at easily 150's at this point. He gulped water down like a fish as the call came for a break and soon was forced to trek into the rain outside to refill his 48oz water bottle. He cupped a water little into his hand and wet his forehead and the back of his neck before returning, not noticing he was taking much longer than usual with legs of lead. He returned more than just a bit wet to say the least.

"Oi, Hinata boke! What the fuck is wrong with you?" came the crass remark from Kageyama as he walked back in. Despite his harsh words they didn't have nearly the same amount of bite they usually do as the teen attempted to hide his worry for the smaller boy. Kageyama had left the rest of the group across the gym and was about to leave to check on Hinata outside

Hinata did his best to smile convincingly with those heavy muscles, knowing the rest of the team was also watching in anticipation, before speaking between heavy huffs for air,"Wha-...do ya..mean Kage-....yama?"

The aforementioned teen gave him a look clearly expressing he wasn't buying it in a glare, "You're pale as shit dumbass! Then you walk out in this weather for water with that giant thing as your bottle! Not to mention you're breathing way to hard this early in! And why the fuck are you slowing down you're speech?!"

He was what?

Oh...

Fuck.

Hinata's eyes widened in surprise at that news as he finally took in the full extent of his symptoms. His peripherals had already completely left him, he was way too hot even for having been exercising, increased dizziness, weakness, heartrate refusing to slow even while resting, even heavier breathing than when he was running, and slowing speech. This was how it was going to be? This was how it would end? He prayed to Kami he was overreacting but knew what was about to happen...

"Kaggge....yaaaaam....don....fre......ou....."now noticing his own slow speech, he knew he had very little time.

Kageyama on the other hand was frustrated. "What the hell does that-!"

He was cut of by Hinata's begging stare and quivering lip, "I.....sooo....re....." With a final look to his confused and worried teammates he cast them a small self-depreciating smile as his body finally collapsed under him.

What do you think he might have?

(AN: So I don't think I'm planning on doing these too often, especially since I don't really think many people are going to see this anyways but I guess I might as well for any who do read this. I won't typically be able to quickly update this or any future stories I may do due to unfortunate health circumstances. I will try my best but I have chronic illnesses as a teen so I don't typically get optional things done quickly. I'd love to see any of your feedback on my story so far and hope you're enjoying it!)
