Dreaming on Ice (DISCONTINUED)

~Part two~

~Third person pov~

It was now Saturday and the volleyball team was slowly arriving at the gym, rubbing the tired out of their eyes and telling each other a sleepy good morning.

They all watched as their coach walked in, not saying a word, eyebrows furrowed and in thought.

"You alright there coach?" Daichi raised an eyebrow.

"We were just informed by Hinata's Dad, that he will be missing Saturday practices and leaving half an hour early from afternoon practices from now on." Takeda said walking in

"Did they give a reason?!" Kageyama was angry.

"When I tried to ask, he told me personal family reasons." Takeda sighed

"That makes this all even more suspicious!" Tanaka yelled

"What are you talking about Tanaka?" Ukai raised an eyebrow.

Daichi sighed "We all think Hinata's been acting weird. He seems more exhausted recently... he was speaking in Russian over the phone to his 'Papa' yesterday, he also had... A huge bruise going down his side.. He gave the excuse he fell of his bike, but none of us really believed it."

"Anytime you bring up family matters his body stiffens." Tsukishima spoke up

"W-what? When did you notice that?" Suga asked

"I've been closely observing him for a few weeks. I thought something was wrong long before you guys did. He only stiffens slightly, not many of you would be able to pick up on it." Tsukishima shrugged

"So what are you kids trying to say?" Ukai asked fearing the answer

"We think.. he may be getting abused." Suga whispered.

Ukai sighed "We'll all keep a close eye on him. If you notice more bruises or anything, let Takeda-Sensei and I know. For now, let's practice."

"Hai.."

~Hinata pov~

I'll have to make up leaving early and missing Saturday practices by working harder during volleyball practice.

I sighed just thinking of how exhausted I'm going to be.

"Sho, you alright?" Yuri/Dad asked me

"Hardly. I'm going to be exhausted. In order to make up for lost time in volleyball, I'll have to work ten times harder while I am in practice.."

"Ah.. How about this, because as your Papa once told me, resting is a part of practice too. Tomorrow we'll sleep in until you're awake, then we'll go shopping and get ice cream" he smiled at me

"Are you sure I h-have time to t-take off? I-i need to get it d-down!" I was starting to feel extremely anxious with that thought.

"Shouyo dear, of course you have time to take off, you clearly need it. The stress and lack of sleep is eating at you again." Papa chimed in.

"Oi.. you're right.." I sighed. I pulled out my phone to text Yurio.. we've been best friends for a long time now.

Me:
