A Haikyuu! AU

Chapter 3: Daichi's POV

I sighed as I watched Hinata leave the gym. I began walking to the doors to see if I could catch up to him but as soon as I began my walk over Yamaguchi asked me to help him with receives. I gave a quick glance at the door and then back at Yamaguchi. "Yeah, okay I'll help you out. Just give me a second." Yamaguchi nodded and I ran over to Asahi, "hey, Asahi, do you think you could do me a solid and go check on Hinata? I think there's something wrong."

Asahi scratched the back of his neck and smiled, "yeah, I can do that for you!"

"Thanks, man I owe you big time!" I yelled over my shoulder as I ran back to help Yamaguchi. "So Yamaguchi what do you need help with?"

"Well I'm always off-balance whenever I receive and the ball comes off wrong because of it and I don't know how to fix it."

I hit a few balls for Yamaguchi to receive so that I could examine his form and give him a few tips. "Spread your feet further apart, it'll help with the balance. And make sure you bend your knees so you don't get knocked off balance by the ball." 

Yamaguchi nodded and I gave him a few more practice serves before I saw Asahi running over to me. He glanced over at Yamaguchi before tugging on my arm. "Hey, we gotta talk." Yamaguchi seemed to notice the urgency in Asahi's voice and just smiled and waved me off before walking over and talking to Tsukishima about something. 

"What's going on with Hinata?" I asked, hoping it wasn't anything too terrible.

"I don't know. He didn't want to talk about it, but when I went into the locker rooms he was a sobbing mess. I told him to go home so he won't be here for the rest of practice."

Suga overheard our conversation and came running over. "Asahi what did you just say? Hinata was crying? Is he okay?"

Asahi nodded, seemingly overwhelmed by the barrage of questions coming from Sugawara. I placed my hand on Suga's shoulder to reassure him. "Hey, I'm sure he'll be fine. Everybody has bad days. Don't worry too much about him, okay?"

I noticed Suga's cheeks flush and he nodded and ran away. "What was that about? Why'd he run away like that?" Asahi looked puzzled and honestly, I was too. Suga had never acted that way around me before. I just shrugged my shoulders, unsure of the answer. 

I looked up at Asahi and noticed that the hair-tie holding his hair back was red today. "Shoot, that reminds me of something." Asahi went to ask me what I was talking about, but before he could, I called the team over.

Once the team was all finally in front of me and they were somewhat quiet I started my announcement. "Hey, guys. Takeda sensei asked me to let you know that a last-minute training camp with Nekoma, Fukurodani, and Johzenji was scheduled for this weekend and we'll be going!" This started a wave of chatter amongst the team and I waited for a couple of minutes for them to quiet down again. "I'm aware that this is very late to be telling you, considering it is Thursday but I was only told earlier today. If you're unable to attend please let me know as soon as possible."

"I'm not going to be there. I'll be sick then. Cough, cough." I heard Tsukishima's sarcastic voice rise from the crowd.

"Tsukki!" A yelp came from Yamaguchi. 

"I said what I said. I'm not going. I don't want to deal with Kuroo and the owl again." Tsukishima rolled his eyes as he pushed his glasses up his nose.

"Please Tsukki? I really want to go with you!" Yamaguchi gave Tsukishima his signature puppy dog eyes and I saw the moment Tsukishima's spirit broke against them.

"Tch. Fine. I'll go." 

I clapped, trying to redirect the attention to me. "Alright, guys. Meet in the parking lot at 10 am. on Saturday! The training camp is going to be two weeks since we all have that long break from school for a bit. Also, Kageyama, can you text Hinata the details? You're closer to him than anybody on the team." 

I noticed as Kageyama's thumb scratched the inside of his wrist and his face turned a light shade of pink. "Uh, yeah. Sure. I can do that. No problem. I got this."

Weird. They're normally so close and yet this is his reaction? Not to mention he asked if Suga could set for Hinata today. Maybe that has something to do with Hinata's outburst today. I need to make sure those two are okay somehow. I was shaken out of my thoughts by Tanaka waving his hand in front of my face. "Helloooooooooo? Earth to Captain Dai! Wake up, bro!"

I shook myself out of my stupor. "Sorry guys. That's all. If you have more questions, text me, you all have my number. You can also ask me while we're cleaning up the gym. After we mop and clean up volleyballs you guys are free to leave."
