Cry For Me | Twice

Hinata was taken home with Kuroo beside him. They were sitting on the couch in the living room. Hinata was still shaking after what he had seen. It terrifies him.

"Maybe you can decide what school you can go to. How about that?"Seno said after calling his work that he wasn't coming into the office today's

"Okay."He mumbles sniffing and holding to Kuroo's fingers.

He brought the laptop to him and opened them searched for schools. He stared at it for a moment then gave it to Hinata. Hinata could see the letters and remember most of the school names.

"Not that one obviously."

Kuroo looked at Hinata who just kept staring at the screen either nodding. "Are you talking to Sho-Chan?"

Hinata frowned and raised an eyebrow. He shook his head and turned back to the computer. He really had no idea what Kuroo was talking about.

"That's new. That one. Press the up...yes go up! There you go."

He looked and saw a school. He turned the screen to his father who stared at the screen. He looked through the review and everything which seemed to be fine.

"It's new too. It's a little far but we can handle it. At least it's near my job."He mumbles and Hinata nodded.

"I'll go call them and fix you there okay. Kuroo-san just watch him carefully. Your not always the brightest one."He said and Kuroo scoffed making Hinata giggle.

"Daddy is right about Mr.Rooster."He said and his father ruffled his child's hair smiling.

He walked away to his room to fix Hinata'a school. Hinata looked at Kuroo and blinked. He tapped the male's shoulder who turned his head.

"You can talk to him Shoyo, it's okay to be afraid but your not alone. I'm here, so is he and Kuroo."

"Kuroo papa. Can I say something?"He asked and the male nodded smiling.

"Did you ever get bullied at school?"Hinata asked and Kuroo shook his head confused.

"Then you were lucky."

"You have, haven't you?"He asked and Hinata hummed.

"People can be scary, but some people can be nice. I maybe was there at the wrong place and the wrong time when it happened."He said and Kuroo picked Hinata up under his armpits.

He stared at the child who blinked confused. Kuroo couldn't understand what he felt. Anger, upset, heartbroken, or he felt sympathy towards him. He pulled him to his arms and hugged him.

"No...they were the wrong people,"Kuroo said as he rubbed Hinata's back feeling a lump in his throat.

"I mean you are right but I guess they weren't jealous of anything. Some people aren't happy in life that they treat others to give the same treatment they feel but they just make it worse before they could notice or maybe just for the fun of it."He told him making Kuroo kiss his head softly.

He put his hand on his head allowing him to lay his head on the male's shoulder. Kuroo felt something slip off his eyes and wiped it with his hand quickly.

He swore if anyone did bully Hinata he for sure would crush them to skulls and burn their skins alive. He doesn't want anyone touching the child he loves and doesn't want him to be fear, he doesn't want him to cry, he doesn't even want to see a frown on his face. He just wants to see that beautiful smile that shines more than the sun itself. The prettiest sunflower he will never pick out.

He heard some small snores from the child which made him sigh. He couldn't forget the time when the child himself was already in pain when he was younger than he is. People are really hateful, disgusting, and terrible. He wishes that Hinata never had those parents, never had to be bullied, and never had to deal with pain. He just wishes he wasn't alone.

"So I...oh he fell asleep."He hummed and making Seno bit his lip trying to think what was missing.

"Don't you have school?"He asked and Kuroo nodded making Seno sigh.

"Tell you what, I'll call them and your coach that you're here."He nodded and smiled.

The male went to fix Kuroo's problem and make some lunch. Kuroo laid down on the couch and looked at Hinata sleeping peacefully. He just played with the child's hair softly, moving it away from his forehead. He saw the clenched fist on his left hand and opened it slowly to see the nail marks on his palm.

"I'll take him to his room,"Seno said and the male took the child then to his own room.

He put Hinata in bed and put a blanket on him. He gave him the big teddy bear that the boys brought for him and kissed his forehead.

"I'm sorry for not being there when you needed me."

He got up and went out of the room to see Kuroo sitting there doing nothing. He was for sure Hinata had said something that made Kuroo look like he was going to break. He sat next to Kuroo and looked at the child.

"What's wrong Kuroo-san?"He asked and Kuroo gulped.

"Hinata told me a few things. Not much at all. He's just...He's just been through so much. Why are people so mean to him."He told the male which made him bite his lip.

"He already had to deal with the pain when he should've never gone through it in the first place and yet people won't let him take a single break!"He told the male who gulped.

"It must've been scary for you...you've been through it with him since you first met him."Kuroo stared at the male.

"He should've been happy. Why can't he just be happy."He said clenching his fists making Seno out a hand behind his back.

Kuroo turned and hugged Seno giving him a surprised flinch. He sighed and rubbed his back softly. He could feel his tears on his shoulder.

"Kuroo-san. No matter what is going through that child's head right now. He's happy with you guys. He's happy even if he is in pain. He has someone. He's not alone nor is he going through it alone. Yes, he was before but now it's a different story. Let's just continue to make good memories with the child okay."He said as he heard a hum from the male who was still crying.

He understands how the male feels. He does also want to cry and lash out, but it's not right. He knows there are ways to fix this. He is just surprised the male hugged him. Even though he treats the volleyball players and other kids like his children, he doesn't know if they can give him the same treatment.

Kuroo's crying made him feel worried about him, the others. "We will get better Kuroo-san. We will."
