To Fly To Freedom

Trying To leave

It had been about 7 years since Hinata had graduated from high school and the team once again was going to meet for their yearly get together to catch up. Since they now lived in a different city or had busy jobs, they found scheduling a day each year would be best.

Although for everyone it would be a year since they last saw everyone, for Hinata, it would be three years. He told everyone that emergencies in his job had kept him from coming, but the excuse was getting old. He needed to attend before they could start getting more suspicious than they already were.

In all actuality he had stayed behind because of... personal reasons, which just so happened to walk through his apartment door as Hinata was in the process of getting his things together to leave. He cursed slightly under his breath as the heavy footsteps travelled towards his room and opened to reveal his boyfriend, Kuso Kutabare, drunk and stumbling towards Hinata to wrap him in an embrace.

"Kuso! Stop you stink of alcohol".

"Shoyoooo~ I missed youuu~!"

Hinata scrunched his nose trying to keep the smell from drowning his nostrils; it didn't work. "Kuso, get off. I have a meet up I need to go to".

Kutabare immediately stood up straight and looked Hinata in the eyes, leaving his hands on Hinata's shoulders so he could use them for support- or keep Hinata from running away- as he leaned his face down to be on level with Hinata's. It used to not bother Hinata that his boyfriend was a head taller than him, but now that Kutabare made it his point to lean down to Hinata's level every time he wanted Hinata to understand his position as inferior, it made him flame with anger at this weakness of his.

'Will I ever be able to get away from this jack-ass', Hinata thought to himself as he looked Kutabare straight back in the eyes, not letting himself back down for even a second. Which, Hinata knew was a mistake as Kutabare hated when Hinata tried to show any type of control or dominance. To him, Hinata was just a submissive toy meant to serve him.

Kutabare glared at Hinata as he practically spit out his words as he increased his tight hold on Hinata's shoulders. "You're not going. I already told you the last two times that I wouldn't let you go to that ridiculous get together."

Hinata took a deep breath, trying his best to calm down. "Kuso, they're getting suspicious on why I haven't been coming. If I don't go today, they'll probably try having another gathering. This time, at my apartment and- "

"OUR apartment."

Hinata hesitated and looked up at Kutabare. In all actuality, it was Hinata's apartment. He paid for the rent, it was in his name and everything. But he just let it go, not wanting to get off track and start an argument Kutabare would never let him win.

"Yeah, ours. Anyway, I need to go Kuso." Hinata pulled away from Kutabare's grasp and picked up his wallet and keys before turning to head out the door, not all that surprised to see Kutabare standing in the doorway blocking his way out.

"That guy, Kasema will be there right?"

Hinata stood confused for a moment before realizing that Kutabare must have meant Kageyama.

"Yeah. Obviously, why?"

"You're not going."

"What! You can't stop me from going out with my friends. I'm tired of you trying to fucking control my life like this! Get out of my way Kuso." Hinata tried to shove his way past Kutabare only to be pushed back, hard.

"You used to have a crush on that guy in high school remember? I'm not letting you go somewhere with him there."

Anger welled up into Hinata as he tried to breathe in and out, calming himself down as much as possible-

"You'll just go cheat on me with that bastard if I let you go."

That's it. He's had ENOUGH. He was done with this bastard's bullshit. He had been waiting to leave this guy's ass for the longest time and he just couldn't control his anger anymore.

"Me? You're afraid I will cheat on YOU? Who's the one who has been cheating on me for the last 2 years, no wait, probably for the whole 5 years we've been together!" Hinata was pissed. His yelling could probably be heard from everyone in the building, but he didn't care. He just wanted away from this lying and cheating man he had spent the last five years loving. What a waste of time.

Kutabare seemed shocked that Hinata had yelled at him, but not at his words. He already knew Hinata knew about his other partners. He didn't even try to hide it anymore. He was sure Hinata wouldn't have any guts to leave him, and if he did all he had to do was to stop him.

Hinata tried to shove Kutabare out of the doorway to head out, failing miserably as Kutabare -who was a whole lot stronger than him- grabbed Hinata by the arm and dragged him across the room and threw him upon the bed, not caring if he got hurt.

Kutabare approached the bed slowly as he watched Hinata sit up and glare fiercely at him. Just as he reached Hinata and was about to grab his shoulders to force him down he was hit in the stomach with enough force to wind him as Hinata ran fast out of the room. After Kutabare was able to catch his breath, he straightened and ran out trying to catch Hinata before he dared to leave, but he was already gone.
