Thursday - 5:14am

Hinata didn't sleep all too well again last night. His eyes were bloodshot. He kept tossing and turning, thinking of everything. He needed to figure out what these thoughts were. He couldn't understand what was going on. He couldn't figure out why these thoughts were all of a sudden appearing and why they have only started occurring when Nishiyama, hell, a boy he doesn't even know, started at his school. For goodness sake! He has hardly spoken a word to this boy, but the point is, Nishiyama has only been at his school for a couple of days. Why is this happening?

He needed to talk to Nishiyama to see if talking to him would enlighten him into figuring out what was wrong.

*beep beep beep beep.....beep beep beep beep.....beep beep beep beep*

No way! It's 6am already! Time to get up! But... so tired!

"Shoyo! Time to get up! Come on!" His mum shouted

Hinata groaned. He's still so tired... He rolls himself out of bed to force himself to get ready for school. After getting ready, he grudgingly thumps down the stairs to the kitchen where his mum had prepared breakfast

*Thump! Thump! Thump!*

"Honey, look at your eyes! Did you not sleep again last night?" His mum asked worryingly

"No..." Hinata mumbles.

"Maybe some coffee will waken you up!" His dad chimes.

He's not in the mood for coffee, or food for that matter which is very unlike him.

His mother feels his forehead for a temperature. "What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?" She says with concern.

"I'm fine mum, I'm just not hungry. I need to go, I can't be late"

He walks out the front door and closes it behind him as his mum looks on.

He didn't like the way he spoke to his mum but he really needed to get to school, he needed to talk to Nishiyama and conclude this once and for all.

Hinata arrives at his class for homeroom, he's slightly nervous but he's not sure why. He just wants to talk. He's not confessing or anything.

Woah! Hold on now! Where the fuck did confessing enter the equation!? That's not even close to what's happening!

"Pull yourself together Shoyo for Christ sake!" He says to himself slapping his hands against his cheeks to snap himself out this strange train of thought.

Hinata slides open the doors and walks in. He looks around.... No one is here. No one except.... Nishiyama.

"Shit" He says to himself.

"Morning Hinata!" Nishiyama says with a smile.

"Morning Nishiyama" replies Hinata as he walks to his desk. Nerves start to build. But why? What is this power that this stranger has over him that makes him feel this way. Why is this happening!?

Hinata sits at his desk and faces Nishiyama. Now is the time to actually have a conversation with him. There is a bit of silence before Hinata finally says:

"So, how you finding living in Japan, Nishiyama?" (Good start)

"It's good. It's a little strange. Quite different from the small village that I'm from but I am quite liking it here. Oh! And please! Just call me Fìonn" He says with that cute crooked smile.

(Fuck! Stop it!)

"You're quite quick to be informal" Hinata replies

"Well..." Nishiyama starts: "Where I'm from, we tend to go by our first names straight away. Plus, Nishiyama is my step-fathers name. I do use it but I just.... Don't feel comfortable using it. It was decided that it may be a good idea to use it because it would be easier to use in Japan than my old surname. But please, don't feel like you have to reciprocate. I'm fine still calling you Hinata if you don't want to be on a first name basis yet"

There he goes with that cute (damn!) crooked smile again. Why do I feel like I'm blushing whenever he smiles? Hinata thinks to himself.

"OK Nishiya.... I mean.... Fìonn"

*Fìonn giggles*

"What's so funny?" Hinata quizzes

"Nothing at all"

They continue to talk for a little while before other students arrive to take their seats.

"This was fun Hinata! I'm glad we finally talked. We should do it again" Fìonn says with a big smile on his face.

"Yes! We will!" Hinata replies returning a smile back.

All eyes are now forward as Mrs Tanaka enters the room.

"Good Morning everyone! Let's get started...."

Hinata is already in a daze. What has he learned? Has he figured out why he feels this way? Has he learned what power Fìonn has over him?

No! He still hasn't got the answers he needs. Sure, he's glad he has now made an effort but... he still can't put his finger on it. He glances over at Fìonn, watching him take copious notes. He looks at him, taking in his appearance: His dark blond hair; his tall physique; his... wait! What is he doing? He's staring. Fìonn is gonna think he's a creep or something, but just as he's thinking this, Fìonn turns to look at Hinata and gives a big cheeky grin before facing the front again.

Hinata blushes and quickly turns the other way to hide the redness on his face. His heart starts to pound faster, he can feel butterflies in his stomach, his breathing starts to get heavier, he starts to struggle, he can't catch his breath. All these thoughts start to swirl round his mind:

What is this feeling!? Why is this happening to me!? I don't........

The room starts to spin. Hinata starts to feel dizzy....

"Is this......"

"HINATA!!!"
