A/N sorry it took so long. I don't think this one's that good. Thanks @nomercyisallowed for the help, as well as @dayamiko for the support. And everyone else for reading.

Hinata opened the door only to come face to face with a tall nerd faced smirk. Hinata was quick witted enough to act surprised. It would have been a bigger surprise if no one found out is all that came to Hinata's mind. "Nerdyshima? What are you doing out here?" Hinata said while breaking eye contact a couple of times, knowing full well that Tsukishima would catch it. "I could ask you the same question shrimp. It's 1 in the morning, you've been gone for two hours." Tsukishima was looking down at him in an intimidating way, but Hinata shrugged it off. The shorty sighed and looked up to Tsukishima with a pout. "okay you caught me" Hinata grabbed for his bag and pulled something out from it. "I was planning on saving the rest for tomorrow, but I can give you some if you promise not to tell the others!" he had pulled out a box of gum.

After having complete his mission he always went to a small convenience store and bought 2 packets of gum. He bought them often and would use them to calm down his craving for cigarettes, knowing that the results of smoking weren't on his side.

Tsukishima still wasn't satisfied with the response. He wanted to know exactly what he had been doing for two hours till 1 in the morning. He wanted to know why he had gum, if he was with someone, where he was. His expression began to take on the anger that was inside him, slowly shifting from intimidating to deadly. He was impatiently looking at Hinata, searching for answers.

Hinata sighed once again and walked closer to the tall teammate. "I couldn't wait until the morning and went out to practise in a nearby park" he then shoved a piece of peppermint gum into the blonds mouth. "oopsie" Hinata said before quietly running back to the room. Tsukishima was left standing in daze as his cheeks began to tint. 'damn shrimp. I will not get flustered by a stupid tangerine' Tsukishima thought before heading the same way as Hinata.

When Tsukishima arrived, Hinata was already in bed and looked as though he was sleeping, so he did the same. He didn't know that Hinata was actually carefully listening to Tsukishima, waiting for his breathing to even out. As soon as it did Hinata slowly turned to lay on his back. He stared at the ceiling, trying not to get lost in the bad thoughts. He could last a night without sleep. Heck, he could last weeks without sleep, but he knew that it would only worsen his play. He made many plans that night, taking in all the information from today. Practise lasts from 7 till 19, with various brakes of course. Plus the extra clean up time which would probably be happening a lot. Hinata knew that he would probably get more exterminations missions because of the change in state. This gave him a whole different range of kills that were available to him. He may have to refuse a couple of them because of the escape route already being found out.

Hinata kept thinking all morning until the sun peaked out to him. He grabbed his phone and noticed that it was already 6. He quickly jumped up and nudged Nishinoya to wake up. He knew that Nishinoya was also an early bird so they formed a plan to wake everyone up.

They ripped open the curtains and yelled "RISE AND SHINE!!!" as the light hit the faces of their teammates. Most grumbled and tried to cover the light, while others tried to throw pillows at them, but before they had the chance to the two boys ran out of the room with their bags in hand. They sung a little song as they skipped to the bathroom to get ready for practise. The angry team members of theirs soon followed. The one with the scariest scowl today was Tsukishima. A bit of guilt hit Hinata as he remembered that night. 'had he been waiting the whole time? ' Hinata thought for a second before dismissing it. 'WTH?! No! he hates me. I know that he's kind on the inside, but there is no way that the Tsukishima would be kind to me, being the oblivious idiot I act to be'  the thoughts and guilt that clouded Hinata's mind began to fade as Tsukishima came up to him. The midget looked up to him and then looked down and closed his eyes, expecting a slap to the head to come. "oi!" hinata's eyes opened at the sudden words. He saw a hand waiting in front of him. "I want a gum." He said looking away. Hinata looked up, confused at first, but then smiled and handed him one from out of his pocket.

Practise was finally about to start and the group of boys headed to the gym once again. Hinata suddenly felt nauseas. It wasn't a nervous kind of nauseas, he had probably not eaten enough and so had to heave it up. He covered his mouth in a drastic way, catching the attention of the team. "I-i" he couldn't get the words out and just yelled bathroom. He tried to act as nervous as possible to convince the team that he was just nervous about the math against Nekoma, their biggest rivals. The team snickered and sighed at the boy as he ran to the toilet.

When he had finally gotten there, he looked around, making sure all the doors were open and no one was here. Once he was sure, he ran to the furthest stall and closed the door, quickly locking it before turning to the toilet and hurling in it. He had to heave many times because the little amount of food that had been left in his stomach over night would come out. When he finally got it out, there were spots of blood in the water. 'Ugh. Again?'  he asked himself as he flushed the spew down the pipes. He was slightly panting and held onto his shirt, his hands close to his heart. He listened to his heart with closed eyes, trying to calm it down.

Once he finally called down, he opened his eyes. He messaged the back of his neck as he bent it down. His view was now on the ground and a pair of shoes. They weren't his. Outside the store stood a pair of white and purple shoes. Hinata immediately recognized them as Shiratorizawa's. his vision was a bit blurry and he had a major headache, but even so 'the show must go on' he said to himself. Hinata wiped his mouth, clearing it from any blood, and then got up. As soon as he unlocked the door, he was met with a tall stone-faced ace. "oh! Japan?!" Hinata shouted with a blinding smile. "what are you doing here? Don't tell me even the great Ushijima gets nervous too!" Hinata said as he squeezed pass  the tall player to get to the sink. Ushijima's cheeks had reddened, although it was almost unnoticeable. "no, I do not" the great one said as he reclaimed his posture. "oh? I see, guess you really have no weaknesses" Hinata mumbled before perking up. "well, we are going to beat you again anyway!" he yelled with a wide grin as he pointed at the Shiratorizawa captain. He jumped in excitement before exiting the bathroom. Ushijima watched the boy leave, eyes inevitably glancing down at the first years ass. He had then come back to his senses and remembered what he had heard. The coughing and constant wheezes of pain. The sounds of chunks being thrown up. Ushijima knew it was none of his business, but wanted to help. 'if Hinata isn't in the best condition then what is the point?' he thought to himself, trying to reassure the thought of only wanting to get a good play out their matches.

Hinata made his way back to his teammates, who awaited him in the gym. Putting on his signature 'smile' he hoped over acting relieved. Daichi had picked up on Hinata's sudden relaxed nature from his bathroom brake. "ohh? What's got you all excited?" Hinata's eyes shone as he looked at the captain. "I just saw Japan!" the boys growled at the mention of someone other than them. Hinata then went to scratch his head, as though he was searching for words. "but" he said, stretching the t out. "I kinda declared war and told him that were going to win against them again, even though I know last was hardly anything, but a fluke". Hinata had assumed that he was going to get a smack to the head from the captain, but instead got a smile from the entire team, even Tsukishima and Kageyama had a little smirk on their faces. "well then, we will just have back your words up when our match against them comes, now won't we, Team?" Tanaka said as he put his arm over the little kouhai of his' shoulder.

"HAI!"
