Hinata's Albannach Boy

Chapter Eight: We Need To Talk!?

Fìonn's lips feel so soft. He can feel Fìonn kiss him back and he can feel it running down his spine. It's a feeling unlike any other. A feeling that should never disappear. Their kiss becomes more intense, Hinata starts using his tongue. Fìonn uses his tongue back. It's becoming more passionate. Fìonn starts running his hands through Hinata's hair. Hinata places his hands behind Fìonn's neck and the back of his head as though trying to pull him even closer. Their lips embrace passionately, they could continue like this forever. The sun is starting to set and a slight mist appears on the horizon. It shines through the window, giving them a heavenly glow. Hinata doesn't want this feeling to end. He wants it to go on forever...."Ilove you..." he whispers.

Hinata shocks himself awake. His hand is on his chest. He's panting. Sweating. It was just a dream. He looks over at his clock. It's only 5am. He falls back onto his pillow. He starts to cry.

He has spent days supressing his feelings. It's proving difficult however. These kinds of feelings can't just be...erased. They are memories. This dream is a reminder of what he's trying to forget. He's at his wits end. He's determined to forget. No matter what. He's determined to erase that memory, even if his sub-conscious is not letting it go without a fight.

He's reawakened by the sound of his alarm. A new day has begun. Hinata takes a few deep breaths and gets out of bed to get ready for school.

"Just a normal day...just a normal day...just a normal day..." He repeats to himself as he walks to school. That dream is nothing to worry about. Just a momentary lap. That's all it is. Everyone has them! Right?

He enters Homeroom with his head held high. Nothing was going to knock his confidence. He's Hinata Shoyo!

He sits at his desk. He can see Fìonn at the corner of his eye. He notices that Fìonn has an angry look on his face.

What's his problem!? Hinata thought to himself. "Nope!" He says quietly, lightly smacking his hands against his cheeks. Can't get distracted now! All about progress! He tells himself.

It's the end of volleyball practice. Hinata managed to keep his mind occupied throughout the day. Plus, volleyball proved to be a good distraction.

Everyone is changing and saying their goodbyes. Hinata is the last one to leave. He steps out the door to the gym. Fìonn is standing at the end of the path.

"Shit! What does he want!?" Hinata says to himself. He puts his head down and starts to briskly walk.

"Hinata!" Fìonn says. Hinata just walks on by.

"Hinata! Don't ignore me!!" He insists. Still Hinata continues to walk without saying a word

"HINATA!" Fìonn shouts grabbing Hinata's arm.

Immediately Hinata throws off Fìonn's arm:

"WHAT!?!?!?" Hinata screams squaring up to Fìonn.

"We need to talk!" Fìonn pleads.

"About what!?" Hinata shrugs.

"About what happened last Friday" Fìonn says.

"Nothing happened. I don't know what you're talking about!" Hinata insists.

"Nothing happened!? How can you even say that!? How can you...we kis..."

"SHUT UP!!" Hinata interrupts.

Fìonn stands there in shock.

"Look! I don't know what you thought that was but it was nothing!"

"But...you were the one who kissed me!"

"STOP SAYING THAT!!" Hinata shouts.

"BUT THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED!!" Fìonn screams.

Hinata turns away.

"I-I...I thought you liked me...when we kissed...I never felt that way before..."

"Well, that's your problem!" Hinata scoffs.

"But...Why then...?"

"It was...a mistake...I didn't mean it...I was caught up in the moment".

"A mistake!? Caught up in the moment!? How...can you say that!? Why are you trying to ignore what happened!?"

"I don't want to ever talk about it!" Hinata insists. Anger slowly building inside.

"So what!? We've to pretend it never happened!? Why are you trying to suppress this!? Fìonn continues to plead. "Why can't we talk about it!? If you're having trouble admitting to yourself that you're gay then..."

"I'm not gay!" Hinata mumbles.

"B-but..."

"I'M NOT GAY!! LEAVE ME ALONE YOU...FREAK!!!"

Fìonn stands there...speechless. He can't believe what he just heard. Tears start to stream down his face.

"H-Hinata...."

"Whatever! I'm outta here!" Hinata says as he walks away leaving Fìonn standing in his wake.

********************************************************************************

Hinata runs home, storms up to his room and slams the door. He leans against it. Tears start streaming down his face. He's...broken...again.

"Why is this happening to me!?" He cries. "Why!?
