Hinata's POV 
"WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU KEI TSUKKISHIMA?!" I finally snapped. I was sick of people bringing that up. My breathing was heavy and my palm stung from the bitch slap but he deserved it. "What kind of selfish, bratty fuck pole are you?! You know he didn't intend it. Not to mention that impostor fucking deserved what he damn well got! So next time think about what words are gonna leave your mouth or so help me it'll be my hands you die in!"

Tears pricked my eyes as I yelled. I'd never snapped like this and my head and throat hurt from my screaming. But it needed to be said. My voice echoed within the silent gym. My heavy breathing was the only sound that was heard. But despite this, my glare didn't falter. My eyes refused to look away from Tsukkishima's as he stared back at me with shocked and wide eyes. After a year of his torments I'd finally had enough. Because he was far past the line of playfulness with that comment.

Eventually I stood upright. "Let's go Kageyama." With that I turned and started walking out the gym, grabbing Kageyama's wrist along the way and dragging him out with me.
It was only when we got a fair distance from the gym did I finally stop walking and let go of Kageyama. I couldn't look at him. I was too scared to. I was scared of what he'd think after finally seeing me snap. I didn't want to face him. I didn't even speak. That was until I suddenly arms wrap tightly around my waist and a face burying into my neck.

"I'm sorry Shouyo..." Tobio mumbled, his grip on me tightening slightly. Without really thinking, I moved by hand, gently brushing my fingers calmly through Kageyama's hair. "What are you sorry for?" My voice was quiet and I didn't move. He was silent for a while but his grip on my waist tightened a little more as he started to talk.

"I'm sorry for shutting you out lately. I know I've been hard to put up with...." Tobio said, his voice quieter than mine. I turned around in his arms and looked up at him.
"It's alright Tobio. I know you'll tell me when you're ready. I have an idea but I'll wait for you. Even despite that incident, I care about you. I love you. And that won't change because you saved me. You might not see it yet, but you did okay? Don't ever forget that."
My hand moved to touch his cheek, the tips of my fingers tangling with his hair as I finally looked him in the eyes.

They were shiny from his unspilled tears and looked almost sorrowful. It was a look I was used to seeing in myself in the mirror. Seeing it in another made me more determined to help him. Kageyama remained silent as he gently nuzzled his cheek into my hand, his eyes closing as he attempted to calm himself down.

It made me smile, it was small but it was there.
"T-thank... y-you.." Kageyama managed to get out making me giggle slightly.
"You really are such a goof. You're adorable though." I smiled up at my setter, feeling giddy inside when I saw him blush. Pulling on the collar of his shirt slightly I pulled him down to my face as I pressed my lips against his, now on my tiptoes to make it a little easier.

My lips stayed to tingle when I felt him kiss back, my hands moving to rest on his chest as he pulled me a little closer to his body.
I felt my cheeks flush a little but I didn't care. I was happy I'd managed to help him. Even if just a little. After a little we pulled away from each other, our noses touching as we opened our eyes.
"Are you going to be okay to go back in there?" I asked hesitantly.
"Shouldn't you be asking yourself that? You're the one that snapped Boke." Kageyama replied making me chuckle.
"Yeah... sorry about that... I'm just sick and tired of his torments. Especially towards you. It's not right and he needed to be told." I replied, scratching the back of my neck with a nervous smile.
"I can understand that. By the way I liked the sound of that bitch slap." Kageyama said with a smirk. I couldn't help but blush.
"Ahehe... yeah I may have gone a little overboard..."
"Really? I thought you hadn't hit him hard enough." Kageyama teased making me roll my eyes.
"Shush Bakayama. Let's go back in before Ennoshita snaps too." I said taking Kageyama's wrist about to drag him. But I stopped when I heard him hiss. Looking back at him, a frown fell on my face. It was a light hold and he had his jacket on. It shouldn't have hurt. So why did he sound like he was in pain?

"I-I didn't grip you that hard... why did it hurt?" I frowned more when he turned away from me his face deathly pale as he hid his eyes with his bangs. I let go of his wrist and stepped closer, hesitantly using my fingers to brush away a bit of his hair.

"K-Kageyama?..." his eyes were squeezed shut and he didn't move. He kept his arms close to his chest, his sleeves rolled down and held within his fists to stop them from moving. He had his teeth gritted together almost in anger. Whether it was at me or himself I couldn't tell but it was worrying me anyway. He seemed so perfect and alright before but now... he was empty. He was cracking and I felt helpless. Tears pricked my eyes as I looked at his face. The face that refused to look back. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't scared.

"Kageyama tell me.... w-whats going on?... what are you hiding from me?..."
