a skaters secret

Part 3-team skating

Karasuno PoV

The school day went slowly for everyone on the team. Lessons were boring, and in some cases (Hinata, Kageyama, Noya and tanaka) hard to follow and understand. But eventually the time of day came where they all individually headed to volleyball practice. At lunch they all sat together discussing the clothes they were wearing skating as they brought it to change afterwards. Hinata had brought his usual joggers and his T-shirt he got from the competition he placed in the year prior and kept them with his gym clothes in his bag.

Everyone worked a lot harder than normal to finish practice on time. Coach noticed and when he asked them about it they all said "we're going ice skating!" And then continued on with their work. They finished and got changed pretty hurriedly occasionally chatting about their abilities on the ice. "Hinata can you skate at all?"

Hinata's PoV

"Hinata can you skate at all?" I wracked my brain. Do I lie or just make up an excuse? I decided on just fibbing slightly "yeah I skated as a kid so I'm ok at it" I lied. If I didn't show them any jumps or get carried away I'm sure they'll believe me. We began getting changed and I put on my usual training clothes as well as a large mask and beanie to hide my hair. I'm used to being recognised at the rink and I didn't want to risk it and have them ask me to do jumps or spins. I was just going there to have fun.

"Oi Boke what's up with the mask and hat? Can barely tell it's you" "sorry Baka I like fashion" the lie just slipped from my lips before I could even think about it. "Come on guys were heading out" Daichi called as he walked out the door. The whole team scurried out of the room and we began walking to the rink me and Suga just conversing in Russian at the front of the group. "So Hinata why did you learn Russian?" "My cousin lived in Russia until about 2 years ago so I learned it for when we visited and when he moved here I made sure I could talk to him. What about you?" "Oh when I was 4 we moved to Russia for my dads work so I obviously learned the language. I still remember it and talking to you is good practice" "well I'm glad I could help. How well do you skate?" We continued talking to eachother in Russian neglecting everyone else around us.

"What are you guys even sayinggggg~" Nishinoya complained "yeah why are you talking in Russian so much?" Tanaka joined in. I just shrugged my shoulders and replied "Russian is a fun language. I like annoying the team knowing that they don't understand us." "That true but maybe we should stop and talk to them" "I guess" we giggled. "Sorry guys, just enjoying our private conversation" we laughed. "Anyway what did you guys wanna talk about?" I asked as we continued on to the rink.

We made it to the rink and I pulled up my mask trying to hide myself in such a public rink. It's usually shut for when Victor, Yuri and I practice in private so we can avoid people watching and/or recognising us. But this time I'd be infront of everyone. And even though I personally didn't think I was famous I noticed when we walked in they had posters of my winning all over the walls. Plus, according to my 'dads' I was really popular though I hadn't realised it myself and chose not to believe it.

"Shohei! Sho, hey! I mean sorry I speak fast" Yuuko corrected herself as I let out a sigh of relief. "I haven't seen you in ages Shoyo" she exclaimed as we walked closer. She knew how to act in front of people while I was incognito and I'm glad she realised who I was with. "Hi, Yuuko! This is my volleyball team we came to skate" "Hinata how do you know her?" Daichi asked. "Shoyo skated here when he was a kid I taught him how to skate and he was pretty good at it" "wow Hinata you never said you were good at this!" Nishinoya laughed patting me on the back. "Anyway I brought my own skates but these guys need to borrow some" i gestured to the team. I leaned over the counter whispering in her ear "if my 'dads' show up tell them I'm skating in a large group with a beanie and mask on. Thanks" "'dads'? That's so cute. Anyway! What size do you all wear?!" She raised her voice directing her attention at the team.
