Chapter 8

OKAY BUT THAT GIF IS LITERALLY SO FITTING FOR THIS STORY

Kageyama looked up as Hinata started to walk over. "What are you doing?"

"Toss to me."

"Why don't you just ask Tsukishima to do it. He tried to set once and failed."

"Why don't you stop being a jerk and help me?"

Kageyama put down the papers he was holding. "Fine. You better get these."

"Yeah!" Hinata raced to the net. Nishinoya noticed and hurried to the other side. Kiyoko pushed over the cart and tossed a ball up.

Kageyama set it to Hinata. The ginger hesitated only slightly before trying to hit the ball. He landed and sighed. "Get the next one."

"Will do."

Kageyama set the next ball and watched Hinata falter as he swung at the ball again. Nishinoya frowned and loosened his posture. "Hinata, dude. Focus."

"Sorry! I'll get the next one!"

Daichi looked over at Kiyoko and they both looked at Hinata, who was chewing on his lip. "Hinata! Come over here for a moment!"

Hinata groaned and walked over. "I'm trying to practice."

"Just checking if you're okay."

"I'm fine."

"You don't seem too focused. You can go home if you'd like."

"No! I'm okay!"

"I didn't say you weren't." Daichi noted Hinata's grip on his shirt. "Alright, go back. Try to focus."

"I got it." Hinata jogged over to his spot and hit the next ball. "See! I can-!" Kageyama glared at the ginger, ignoring the light thud of a volleyball hitting the floor. "Ow! What the heck?!"

"You aren't paying attention. You need to watch the ball."

"I was!"

"I wouldn't have been able to hit you with that ball."

Hinata glared at him and lowered slightly. "Set another ball then idiot."

Kageyama nodded and put his arms up. Kiyoko tossed another ball up. Kageyama set the ball again, slowing it down. Hinata was able to hit it this time but Nishinoya received it and stood. Tanaka hurried over and hit the ball back over. Hinata tried to receive it but it hit him in the chest instead.

"You good?!" Tanaka called.

Hinata stood and coughed. "I'm good."

"Hey Kageyama, check on him."

Kageyama walked over and pressed a hand to Hinata's chest. Hinata tried to back up, instantly being stopped by Kageyama's other arm. "You're having trouble breathing. Sit down."

"Hey! I can still play!"

"Just go sit down." Kageyama pressed. Hinata glared up at him. "You're going to have to calm down to play."

Daichi walked over and eased the ginger away from Kageyama. "He's right. You should take a break."

Hinata tore himself away from both of the other males and put his arms around himself. "Don't touch me."

"Hey I don't mean anything by it. Are you alright?" Hinata stormed off, mumbling to himself. Daichi looked at Kageyama and sighed. "You wanna try something?"

"He's just being a baby. Let him be."

Kageyama looked at Tsukishima. "He never acts like that though."
