✧ With Love ✧ || A Haikyuu Fanfic

✧ 13 || His Promise ✧

Koushi Sugawara's POV

"Do you even know how to spell the word 'volleyball', dumbass!" I heard Kageyama yell at Hinata.

"I bet you can't even spell the word 'dumbass'!" Hinata exclaimed back.

I sighed and continued working on my science homework.

"Stop fighting and get to work! Both of you!" Daichi yelled at them.

I chuckled. "Daichi, we aren't at practice," I said as I playfully punched his arm, forgetting about everything that happened within those few days. That's all I wanted to do, to just forget it all and start anew. Even though I'd loved him since our first year. Even though I knew I'd always love him.

"Yeah, what are you? Our dad?" Nishinoya said with a laugh.

Yamaguchi and Yachi giggled. Asahi tried to frantically hush everyone so that Daichi wouldn't get angry, but the room was in an uproar, excluding Tsukishima who rolled his eyes and continued to work. It wasn't Nishinoya's joke that everyone found so funny, it was how Daichi reacted to it. I couldn't help but laugh as well as I looked at Daichi's glare.

"Sorry, sorry," I said amidst my laughter as he looked over at me with disappointment. "But he's right, you act like you're 40 or something."

He sighed and looked away. I could see that he was trying to contain his laughter. "Whatever, just get back to work!"

"Okay, dad," Tanaka said, earning a slap on his shoulder from Ennoshita and laughter from everyone else.

"Guys!" I exclaimed even though I couldn't stop laughing.

Once we had settled down, we were all working. Chatters filled the air, some coming from Kageyama and Hinata as they argued, others came from silly jokes Nishinoya and Tanaka were making.

I ignored it all and continued working, because that was what we were meant to do. I answered a couple of questions that came from the first years. Overall, it was pretty calm.

"Why didn't you make yourself some hot chocolate? I thought you love it," Daichi said from beside me.

"Oh, there wasn't enough powder left for another cup," I responded, giving him a quick smile before continuing to work.

"Want some of mine?"

Moron.

"Uh... no thanks," I said with an awkward chuckle. That would be considered a romantic gesture, dumbass.

But of course, he was too dense to realize it. For someone who was so intelligent, it was truly hilarious seeing him fail at something so simple. Not that the action itself was inherently romantic, but he should've at least known it was terrible to try and pull that off, especially after what happened.

My gaze shot up when I heard a couple of coughs coming from in front of me. Those couple of coughs quickly turned into a coughing fit.

Kageyama looked up at me with concern, placing his hand on Hinata's back as he coughed. "Uh, Sugawara, is he sick or something?"

I dropped everything in my hands and rushed over to Hinata, who was still coughing. He was shivering, too.

"I can't stop," he said, coughs interrupting his sentence.

I placed my hand on his forehead. He had a fever. I furrowed my eyebrows in concern but tried my best to hide it. Showing my concern would just scare everyone else. I looked over at our team.

"Don't worry, he'll be fine. I'll take him to my room and he can rest there for a while. Just continue on with whatever you're doing." I turned to him, rubbing my hand on his back. Slowly, his coughing fit subsided. "Why don't you rest in my room for a bit, alright?" I asked.
