(Quick note! Before we get started this is my first story, so it might not be very good. Also, the chapters are a bit short. Right now it is being edited, although this chapter is already finished! I hope you enjoy!)

TW // DEPRESSION , PILLS , DEATH

(Hinata's POV)
I was seated under a tree outside with my boyfriend, Kenma. Being more bored than usual, I tossed a volleyball up and down, and I was caught off guard when my watch started beeping. But, of course, I knew what that meant.

I crouched down, zipping open the bag I had began bringing with me everywhere. I was so invested in looking for what I needed I didn't notice Kenma looking at me. I assumed he was curious about what that loud beeping meant. If it was anything truly important, I just would've told him about it.

I let out a sigh of relief as I found what I was looking for, but I couldn't be so sure. My eyes scanned over the the label making sure I had the right ones. Happy Pills. Yep. I popped open the cap and slid two of the pills into my mouth. I hummed it myself as I waited for the pills to cast their effect on me. Obviously, it wouldn't happen immediately.

I looked over Kenma and he was staring at me, a visual shocked expression painted his face. So he did see me, I thought to myself.

"Give them here Shoyo." Kozume said, a serious tone coating his voice.

"Give what here?" I responded, acting dumb.

"Shoyo, please give me those pills. I know what they're capable of." He started, looking ashamed. "Those aren't actual diagnosed anti-depressants."

I stared at Kenma with the similar shocked expression she wore just before. A silence overcame us, before Kenma broke it by asking for the pills once more.
Of course I ended up giving them to him.

Kozume's eyes examined the little bottle, before his eyes widened. "Shoyo, how long have you been taking these?"

"Just a few months! Don't worry!" I responded, smiling. I could feel the effects starting to kick in.

(Kenma's POV)
I thought Hinata was just a naturally happy person, after all, if anything was going on, he would've told me.

Right?

"Shoyo, what made you take these?" I questioned, pointing at the bottle in my other hand. As I examined the carrot top boy, I could tell he was trying to come up with an excuse.

"Uh," He stuttered, "There really is no reason." He laughed, nervousness hinted in his voice.
"In all honestly, I just wanted a little boost. That's all!"

I don't believe that one bit and he knows it.

"Shoyo. We both know that what you just said is bullshit so please tell me. What's going on?" I said seriously. I was growing worried.

Hinata looked at me and sighed.
"Fine. Look, I haven't told anyone about this, so please keep it a secret." Shoyo said.

I raised an eyebrow at him but I nodded.

"My Mom died a few months ago..." He admitted, rubbing the back of his neck. "But, I didn't want everybody to be all over me and stuff trying to comfort me." He choked up his as tears visibly were forming in his eyes.

Pain washed over me as I saw the depressed expression on his face. I leaned in, and hugged him tightly. I didn't want to question him too much, but one thing still had me confused.

"Shoyo, did you just start taking them after your Mom died?" I asked, after breaking away from the long hug. Honestly, I wished it could've lasted forever.

He stared at me for awhile, a guilty look visible on his face, before he sighed.
"Actually, I bought them when I started getting bullied," Hinata took a breath, before continuing. "I kept them on my dresser for a while, and made a silent agreement with myself that when the bullying got worse I would take them. But, then my Mom died so I decided to see if they work. Then- then it kinda got out of hand."

The carrot top covered his mouth as he realized what had just come out of his mouth. He didn't want to mention he was bullied to Kenma.

"Excuse me, bullying?" I exclaimed. Why the hell didn't he tell me?

Hinata glanced at his eyes, and gave an audible sigh. Of sadness? Of happiness? I couldn't tell.
"I'm sorry but I have a match against Fukurodani!" He stated, grabbing his bag. He kissed me on the cheek and left.

I was still thinking about everything he said. I looked down to examine the pills when I noticed they were gone.

"Damn sneaky crows!" I said, not noticing how loud I must've been.
