Hinata POV

"Kenma.." I said as I tried to wipe away my tears, but failed as more kept coming "I just...I don't know how to tell you...th-they...kag-" I was cut off by a sob

"They? Did Kageyama and the others do something to you?" Kenma asked taking my hands

"HInata calm down...you're just worrying him," Oikawa said, coming up beside me and guiding me to sit next to Kenma. "Take a couple deep breaths and then once you calm down you can start again."I nodded and started following his instructions. It took a few minutes but my tears slowed down and my breathing evened out.

"Kenma..." I looked at him and "I'm not really sure how to say this but I need you to promise me you wont tell anyone not even Kuroo."

"I promise," He said, looking me in my eyes, so I knew he was serious.

"Kageyama and Tsukishima...t-th-they were.....forcing me to do things..that I w-wasnt comfortable d-doing with them......" I said looking at the ground, trying to stop more tears

"..Shouyou.." Kenma gasped hugging me, and then the tears came "I'm so sorry that happened..." he said as he pulled me tighter to him, and I buried my face in his neck crying.

I let myself cry like that for a while. Kenmas arms around me, Oikawa squeezing my hands tightly and Iwaizumi's hand rubbing my back softly. I felt safe. But I knew I needed to explain more to Kenma, so giving him a tight squeeze I drew back out of his arms. He smiled reassuringly at me and waited patiently as I yet again calmed down my tears.

"How long..?" Kenma finally whispered when I was calm again.

"Since we lost at the Interhigh preliminaries..." I said and had to look away from him

"Shouyou...I'm so sorry you went through that..." I looked back and saw he was crying, Kenma had always been the silent shy type and not very outspoken. Seeing him cry, for my sake, was really hard to comprehend.

"Kenma please don't cry.." I said wiping away the few tears he had shed for me

"But how could they...to you..it's so wrong...."

"It was but it's never going to happen again" Oikawa spoke for the first time looking straight at Kenma, who to my surprise met his gaze and then nodded.

I continued to answer his questions, stopping every now and then to calm down again. It helped that Oikawa and Iwaizumi were there, they grounded me in a way. Once I answered his questions he hugged me for a while. Then seeing how late it was he said he was going to go, saying that he was there if I needed him and that he'd see me tomorrow. I didn't move though, and neither did Oikawa or Iwaizumi. We just sat there quietly.

"Thank you...it helped that you were here" I looked at each of them and then back at the floor, they were staring at me intently and I could feel my face heat up.

Oikawa POV

I laughed slightly, Hinata looked up confused at me, which only made me laugh more

"W-what are you laughing at?" Hinata stammered

"It's just that you're so cute I can't help it" The words were out before I even realized it, but I didn't really mind since they were true. Also because HInata got even redder.

Iwaizzumi was laughing now too, and Hinata was barring his face in his hands trying to hide. I pulled his hands away and held them tightly so he couldn't cover his face again. I smirked at Iwaizumi and he smiled, I had an idea. I waited till the blush died down on his cheeks, he was staring at the floor, and then....
