Knock, knock, knock.

"Hinata-san, Hinata-san; are you there?"

Bowing your head, you closed your eyes and waited for a sign--anything to confirm the rumors you'd heard about a ghoul haunting one of the old girls' bathrooms at Karasuno. The only sound you could hear was that of your heart thumping in your chest with anticipation, however, and the longer you stood in quietude, the louder your doubtful thoughts became. You probably looked totally delusional right now, but that was fair. You were trying to find a ghost who allegedly granted wishes of the desperate, hopeless students like yourself, after all.

Suddenly, a click sounded and the stall door in front of you creaked open just enough for you to see the shiny base of the chipped, porcelain toilet inside. However, when you pushed the door open, there was nobody there.

"Here I am!"

A squeal of surprise escaped from your lips at hearing a voice sound from somewhere behind you. When you whirled around to find the person who had spoken, you came face to face with a... floating boy?

"Pervert!" you cried, trying to cover your body with your arms, even though you were fully dressed in your school uniform.

"Wha? No!" the boy spluttered, waving his hands madly, "It's me! Hinata-san!"

Your (e/c) eyes widened with shock as you looked up and down his shorter than average figure, noting his fiery orange hair, and his uniform that you'd seen in older pictures of previous classes throughout the school's history. "Y-You're a guy?!" you uttered rather stupidly, since that was glaringly obvious now. He nodded enthusiastically. "Are you sure you're not a pervert? This is the girls' bathroom."

Balling his hands up into fists, he argued, "This used to be the boys' bathroom back in the day, ya know!" With a loud, exasperated sigh, he groaned, "Why does everyone who comes in here to ask for help think I'm a girl, for crying out loud?"

"Because you're in the girls' bathroom!"

"It was the boys' bathroom before!" Not wanting to give you the chance to say anything else that might launch the two of you into another disagreement, the ghost quickly asked, "Anyway, didn't you summon me for something? What's the deal?"

Taking a deep breath, you finally locked eyes with the ghost before you and admitted, "I need help getting a boy to like me."

A grin spread across his lips. "Oooh! Who is it?" You opened your mouth to answer, but he ended up cutting you off by interjecting, "Wait, who are you? My name's Hinata Shouyou, but call me Hinata-kun, since apparently Hinata-san makes everyone assume I'm a girl."

To answer his questions, you introduced yourself to him in return and explained your rather tragic situation. The boy in your class whom you had a crush on didn't even seem to realize that you existed. He never really spoke to you or even turned your way, and your attraction to him made it extremely challenging for you to muster the confidence to approach him. Though, his constantly serious expression didn't necessarily help either.

"Kageyama Tobio, huh?" Hinata repeated after you said the name of the boy you so desperately wanted to fall in love with you, "From what I've heard by, you know, floating around, he's the setter for the volleyball team, right? I'm pretty sure I've seen him before and he really doesn't look all that interesting, (l/n)-chan."
