Today is supposedly the day where Aoba johsai will arrive. The nekoma's volleyball team and my teammates are really excited for their new rival and at the same time, curious. I would've feel excited and scared at the same time meeting the grand king, practice match with them and seeing his jump serve but today, might not be that day. I still feel the same, lonely and miserable. I sure thought that day after day I would get better but hell no.

Maybe I took my love for tsukishima too lightly. I didn't realize that he really did became a big part of me. I was head over heels for him after all. Now i just feel so useless and empty. Is this how heartbreak feels?

It's now 8 am in the morning and we've just finished setting up. The nekoma volleyball team went out to meet the Aoba johsai with the Karasuno team but I chose to stay behind. I'd rather be alone for a moment.

You know after what happened, I realized that I'm really not okay and i'ts just so tiring smilling, keeping my hyper attitude around them. Like, i just want to curl up in my room and cry.

I walked in the gym hall and made my way to the bathroom to wash my face. I opened the door and to my surprise, the nekoma's captain, kuroo is in the sink.

"Oya? isn't it chibi-chan?" He said while washing his hands in the sink.

"what are you doing here? Weren't you supposed to meet the aoba johsai?" He added while taking glimpse at me in the mirror.

"Ah, umm, my stomach felt bad so i thought i'll use the bathroom first." I said as I walked towards the sink and washed my hands beside him. I did my best not to look at him in the eyes or he'll caught me lying.

It's not like I don't want to, it's just troublesome and it's not like i'm close with them.

"ehhh... okay if you say so." Kuroo said with a smug look on his face as he glance at me. This damn captain he know i'm trying to run away.

He finished washing his hand and he started walking away when he suddenly lean over me next to my left ear.

"W-what is it?" I said stuttering because I was surprise by him. I backed away a little to avoid the discomfort.

"Nothing. I just thought you smell like a vanilla or something." He said as he smirked down at me.

What? Vanilla? is he crazy?! how can he say I smelled like a vanilla, Is he a pervert or something?

"Hah?! why would I smell like a vanilla you damn pervert!" I said to him. He was obviously teasing me seeing that wide grin on his face.

"Hahahaha I was just kidding, chill down babe."

"B-babe?! I knew it what a pervert!"

"Hahahaha yeah yeah, this hot captain is a pervert alright." He said proudly with a grin plastered on his face. Tsk, is he an idiot? is that something to be proud of?

"So, you okay now?" He asked while smilling at me.

"What do you mean? yeah, of course i'm okay." I was confused but i still answered him regardless.

"Well you look so stressed these past few days. Glad to know you're okay."

"Hah, Why would I not be okay hmmp! We still had matches with the Nekoma and this time we're gonna win!" I told him with a wide grin on my face not noticing that I just laughed and smiled geniunely for the first time in a while.

He ruffled my hair while laughing and said "Hahahaha try it if you can baby crow."

"If you're having trouble or if you need someone to talk to, I'm here babe." He said while smiling at me and patting my head.

I felt like my face suddenly became hot. I suddenly got nervous and embarrased at his remarks. W-what the hell's with h-him! This pervert calling me b-babe!

"W-what the hell?! s-stop calling me babe! Damn rooster!" I said while stuttering. I faced the other way trying to cover my embarrassed face. Why the hell am I getting embarrassed for?

He just laughed at me and stared at me. He looked like as if he was waiting for me to speak up. I honestly don't want to tell him . But I feel bad because he looks like he's starting to really care. Why would he even care by the way?

"Well, strange things just keep happening to me." I said uninterestedly.

"I suddenly got replaced or dumped and stuff. Then weird hickeys started appearing in my body out of nowhere. Geez, what's up with me." I told him, with a uninterest look in my face.

Well it really don't bother me that much opening to some people cause it won't change anything after all. And telling it to a stranger feels like it lightens my burdens.

Little did I know that this stranger will turn my life upside down.

"Ehhh, must be bad huh. Don't worry too much will you? You're still young and heartbreaks normal. That just mean you've been in love. Well you're still a kid after all."

"You sound like an old man right now kuroo-san." I said and we both laugh.

Wow he's really fun to talk to. I didn't think an idiot like him would be so fun to talk to hehe

Kuroo and I talked with each other and laugh walking back to the gym. I didn't notice that I was starting to have fun talking.

"You said a hickey?.... heh....sorry, my bad about that." Kuroo said with a smirk on his face.

"What?" I didn't quite heard the last part but I know he mumbled something? Did he said sorry or something?

"It's nothing." He said then he laughed quietly.

"Why? you know something?"

Kuroo suddenly stop walking and faced me when he heard me. He slowly leaned towards my face.

"And If I know something? What would you do?"

"N-nothing! I just want to know cause i'll beat the shit out of that guy!" I said while backing away for a bit. He's making me nervous, why would he lean to me that close. This rooster is teasing me again!

"Hahahaha chill, babe. Well I don't know anything." He said then he regained his composure.

"But come to think of it, there's been a weird rumor about a ghost here. They said that the ghost was a pervert wandering here. He would sneak up in the club room and look for his prey." He said while looking at me with a spooky face.

"H-Hey cut it out kuroo-san!" I yelled at him. He was obviously trying to scare me. What am I a child? A ghost huh. That's impossible? Haha r-right? ugh!

Little did Hinata know that the ghost kuroo was talking about, was actually himself and Hinata happened to be the perfect prey.

He just laugh and continued our talk until we reached the gym. The three teams were already gathered and started their stretching.

Kuroo and I made our way to our respective team, in the back of my head I felt like someone has been staring at me eversince we entered the gym. I just shrugged it off and started to do stretching.
