Kageyama's pov

It's been quite peaceful lately. A little too peaceful..

Like the calm before the storm.

No other gods have been appearing lately (thank goodness) and nothing else out of the ordinary has occurred so far. I guess the only thing out of place is Hinata.

He's been acting...different.

Not really in a negative manner but..it's kind of bothering me. He's been acting somewhat suspicious, like he's expecting something to happen. Almost as if he's dreading something.

He hasn't been very touchy-touchy with me lately either. I wouldn't admit it aloud, but I miss it..

I miss the warmth of his touch, his silky hair brushing against my skin, the sweet aroma of his shampoo (technically mine), everything.

He's been sleeping on the floor, without any blankets or pillows for comfort. I keep telling him that he can sleep with me, but he always refuses. He used to always want to snuggle even when I didn't want it. What happened..?

He was currently sitting by the window, lost in thought. He seemed to have an upset expression.

"Oi dumbass, what's wrong?" I called out. He snapped his eyes to me before shifting them to the floor.

"W-what are you takin' about? Nothing's wrong..", he slightly stuttered. I sighed at his dishonesty.

"Just tell me what's on your mind", I nudged him, trying to arise something from him. He stared at me with glassy eyes.

"It's nothing, I promise", he shrugged me off. I clenched my hands in irritation.

"Why do you not trust me!" I didn't mean to raise my voice. His face looked frightened. I calmed, knowing that anger doesn't solve anything. I organized my thoughts before continuing.

"Look, I've already told you, you can tell me anything that's bothering you", I tried rubbing his back in a comforting way.

He let out a silent cry and fell into my arms. His body shook with quiet sobs, it broke my heart seeing such a joyous person become this way. I didn't speak, I let him release his emotions into my chest.

I didn't know exactly what the dilemma was, but I wanted to be here for Hinata in his darkest times. Feeling the dampness of tears on my shirt, I sifted through his orange locks, attempting to calm him somewhat.

We eventually moved our position to laying on the wooden floor. He fell asleep upon my chest, tears staining his reddened cheeks. I sighed, still petting his hair. It felt equally soothing to me as it was to him.

I clicked my tongue in confusion. What was he upset about? What had caused him to cry so violently? If someone is to blame for this, I'm going to fucking kill them (unless it's a powerful god).

I think I'll take off work tomorrow to spend time with him. It'll probably help build his emotional stability back up.

I rested my skull against the floorboards and gradually slipped into a dream filled with orange-haired crows.

I decided to take him to the Zoo.

I knew he'd enjoy watching all the different species of animals.
